Jin Ling as sect leader but he is done with it and decides to make use of all his uncles' reputations
"I'm not dealing with this shit, my uncle is the Yiling Patriarch."
"This is fucking ridiculous, I'm telling Sandu Sengshou."
"Lianfang-zun didn't die for this and neither will I."

Love the idea of Lan Sizhui and Jiang Cheng becoming unexpected friends.
Like, say after the plot happened, Jin Ling is a young sect leader and he struggles with it.
Sizhui came back from his travels with WN and, being his caring and concerned self, noticed things were shaky, so he decided to keep an eye on the younger boy. (He couldn't imagine going through the same, ending up straddled with such responsibility without a chance to refuse... Being a sect leader was a harsh role).
He made sure to invite JL to night hunts whenever they happened to story close to the Jin borders. He started to write letters to Jin Ling, because he looked like he needed something to distract him. He even tried to convince Wei-qianbei to speak with his nephew during the sect conferences - it was a work in progress, but he had hope...
And then, during one night-hunt, he noticed they were trailed by someone. Not wanting to worry his companions, he set Jingyi to distract Jin Ling and slipped away quietly to...find himself face to face with Sandu Sengshou. More like - hand to face with Sandu Sengshou, who slapped a hang over Sizhui's mouth and backed him against a tree out of sight of the others.
"Shut up, or I'll break your legs." Jiang Sect Leader mouthed and Sizhui could only nod. He wasn't really afraid, but Jin Ling's uncle was a different beast when the boy wasn't present...okay, he was a bit afraid.
Turns out he shouldn't have to be. Jiang Cheng was just checking up on his nephew - the hunt was skirting the edges of Yunmeng. It was a bit embarrassing, sure, but Sizhui understood - times were hard for the Jin, a young sect leader was in danger. Even more so if the Jiang Sect Leader was seen hanging around him too often.
Sizhui understood. Sect leader let him go with an order to stay silent. Sizhui promised he won't tell.
He also promised something else.
"Jiang-zonghzu, I will keep him safe, you have my word."
Bravely and thoughtlessy, sure, but the words were out of his mouth and there was no taking them back. Sizhui felt his face flush when Jiang Cheng huffed at his daring. But then...
"I'll hold you to that, Lan Yuan."
And that was a beginning of the strange relationship where Sandu Sengshou trusted Lan Yuan with his nephew's safety on the nighthunts - the trust heavy with expectations. Sizhui preferred to think he was trusted - not threatened.
What followed was Jiang Cheng easing up on following their nighthunts. Meaningful looks whenever they came across each other during conferences or in the field. A few words exchanged here and there. Short messages that found Lan Sizhui from time to time, in few words advising him to visit Koi Tower if he happened to travel close - usually following some upheaval in the Jin sect that the young leader needed break from. Sizhui's friendship with Jin Ling blooming, their little group of four (including Jingyi and Zizhen) building a great relationship.
Sometimes it was Sizhui sending a short message to Lotus Pier, when his presence could only help so much and Jin Ling needed reassurance from his family instead.
In time these messages grew longer, inclosing more details, some stories. In time Jiang-zonghzu was asking about Sizhui's studies and accomplishments, and giving him gruff advice on how to deal issues arising when one was the first disciple ("I was my own first disciple for three years after the war, I know what I'm talking about, kid.")
It was...nice. Different. Sizhui wasn't even aware of how much he missed Zewu-Jun's presence in his life. He had his uncle and Wei-qianbei now, but Lan Xichen was such a big part of his life between his training and Huanguang-Jun's travels - he missed his support. He missed having someone who spoke with authority of experience to help him deal with his issues. And Jiang-zonghzu was nothing like Zewu-Jun, but he also wasn't not like him. He was straightforward and honest, even if he didn't couch his words in kindness. He had a varied knowledge he didn't hide. He trusted Lan Sizhui with his nephew - and didn't question Sizhui's decisions. If he thought they were stupid, he said so, but he didn't question the rationale behind them ("You're young, boy, not an idiot. Experience comes with doing, not listening. Just don't do stupid shit!").
He could understand how Jin Ling became who he was - hard-headed and stubborn, yes, but also fair and intelligent, and hard-working. The self-protecting habits didn't come from Lotus Pier, did they?
("He never had friends in the Koi Tower, I expect you and the Ouyang-brat to remedy that.")
Huh.
Wait.
"What about Lan Jingyi?"
"That one will be lucky to live to adulthood, with the way he's flapping his mouth. I have no expectations of him whatsoever."

The Case of Jiang Cheng's Canon Selective Amnesia
Jiang Cheng at MDZS chapter 59:
"Lan WangJi and Jin ZiXuan and those people can just die! Just let them die! What's their deaths got to do with us?! To do with our sect?! Why did this have to happen?! Why?!
"Go die, go die, go die! Everyone!!!"
And yet Jiang Cheng at MDZS chapter 87:
Jiang Cheng mocked, "Look how forgetful you are. What does unwelcome people mean? Then let me remind you. It was because you played the hero and saved Second Young Master Lan, who's standing beside you right now, that the entire Lotus Pier and my parents went down with you---, "
From blaming Jin Zixuan and Lan Wangji, into blaming Lan Wangji alone🙃🙃
Why?
Duh of course because Jin Zixuan has married his sister🥱
The so called sin of causing a sect to be exterminated can be erased as long as you marry the sister~
Oh. I Forgot to add the REAL thought of Jiang Cheng at MDZS chapter 59:
In his heart, Jiang Cheng knew clearly that back in the cave of the Xuanwu of Slaughter at Muxi Mountain, even if Wei WuXian hadn't saved Lan WangJi, the Wen Sect would have found some reason to come over sooner or later.
Dude knew perfectly why the massacre happened at all. Yet refuse to face reality. C'mon, call some psychologist here, a delusional patient who refuse to see reality may have been spotted.
In addition, the REAL people whom Wen Chao wanted to kill and thus were saved by Wei Wuxian in Xuanwu Cave were (MDZS ch 52):
Wen Chao was enraged, shouting, "How dare you! Kill them!"
A few of the Wen Sect's disciples unsheathed their swords, rushing toward Lan WangJi and Jin ZiXuan.
Yes. It is Lan Wangji and Jin Zixuan.
Not only Lan Wangji but also JIN FUCKINN ZIXUAN!
Alright, next:
Wen Chao looked as if his mood was much better. He spat, "Talking back to me, what did you think you are? People like you really do deserve to be killed."
Who talked back to Wen Chao?
Oh, let's look back a while ago:
Jin ZiXuan lifted his brows, "Is that enough? It wasn't enough for people to be flesh shields for you, and now you want live humans to bleed for you to use as bait?!"
Wei WuXian found this somewhat surprising, So Jin ZiXuan really does have some nerve.
Wen Chao pointed at them, "Are you rebelling against me? Let me warn you, I've been tolerating you for a very long time. Right now, hang the brat up with your own hands! Or else none of the people from your sects can expect to return!"
Jin ZiXuan sneered and refused to budge. Lan WangJi also looked as though he had heard nothing, so motionless that he seemed to be meditating.
Oh MY GOD! The one who angered Wen Chao first and talked back to him, it turned out it was Jin Zixuan all along!
That mighty Heir of the venerated LanlingJin, Jin Zixuan!
My my my...
To think that Jiang Cheng acted as if it was Lan Wangji solely who offended Wen Chao and needed to be saved... But the reality were...🧐🧐
The young and mighty Sandu Sengshou must have problem with hearing and seeing for him to think that the one Wei Wuxian saved is only Lan Wangji, right?
Or maybe Selective amnesia?
Oh!
It is because Jin Zixuan has married the Sister so the "so called sin" Got defaulted🙃
(All Excerpts are from ExRebel FanTrans)
***
JC (toxic ones) Stan: Listen to our babyCheng, Lan Wangji is the reason YunmengJiang got destroyed!
JC throughout the MDZS: It's me~! Hi~! I'm the problem, it's me~! (The one who has problem with hearing, seeing, delusional tendency, plus selective amnesia)

mdzs x pokemon au thoughts
mostly focusing on yunmeng trio - or rather duo (jc and wwx)
So, focusing on bodies of water, magikarps could be found in lots of places. Especially in yunmeng.
There are also many disciples who likes hard and seemingly impossible challenges. Like training magikarps into gayardoses.
And yunmeng jiang sect can be proud of few disciples and clan members who successfully trained their magikarps into gayardoses. Also, at some point it became the question of not "who can achieve it", but "who can train the stronger gayardos from magikarp" or "who can train the stronger gayardos from magikarp faster" or "who can train the stronger gayardos from magikarp faster without the pokemon starting to hate you and running away somewhere" or "who can train the stronger gayardos from magikarp and be the youngest to do so".
That's why the two young rivals caught a magikarp for themselves to train. Achive the impossible and kick the ass of your sect brother etc.
JC's magikarp has some sick-ass name that would be truly suitable for a beast like a gayardos (but still it's something a ten year old (or younger?) would think of.
WWX thought of so. MANY. NAMES. but none of them was the ideal of his glorious magikarp-sooner-than-JC's-turned-to-be-gayardos. In the end it's name is some kind of fish-based dish that JY implied*, would make magikarp into if he starts abounding the poor pokemon now**.
(* she only asked nicely if he's still training it!) (** JC at least knows some lick of responsibility because he had dogs (dog-like pokemon?) before. But Jiang Fengmian's and Madam Yu's neglect towards (their) children is not the best example of taking care of others :/ And if YJ is going to make her brothers learn some responsibility by making them focus on their bet then it's no-ones business)
Anyways. Training magikarps it's surprisingly not so easy. Despite the hard training sessions both pokemon have not evolved before the boys had to go to Gusu for lectures. They still have not evolved when they came back, nor when the Indoctrination happened, nor when Lotus Pier was attacked - and what's worse they got separated from their trainers when the siblings trio were on the run, (why would you have your water-based pokemon in some kind of pokeball when you live nearby water???). And so, JC's and WWX's bet was never resolved....
...some time later, when the Sunshot Campaign was ongoing, there was plan to retake Lotus Pier. Well, plan always was to retake Lotus Pier, but now they had means and battle plans to do so.
Yet, by the time they arrived, instead of Wens roaming around they found Lotus Pier overtaken by pokemons with two gayardoses seemingly taking the role of main bosses there.
It was a beautiful moment of pokemons reuniting with their trainers, new jiang members being glad not to be considered food by the wild pokemon due being part of the jiang, non-jiang members taking few significant steps back to not get eaten, and everyone sans two having a moment of 'what the fuck did they call them' when (mostly)respectable people like Sandu Sengshou and (not-yet-called-that-then)Yilling Patriarch calling to two gayardoses name akin to "Terminator 3000" and "Chicken Nuggets"
They still don't know who's magikarp evolved first. Officially the bet ended with a tie. Practically Jin Ling's granchildren are aware the bet was never resolved.
------------------------
PS1: there was this one post about how Jiang Family is bad at names (including wwx) and it lives rent free in my brain, but I don't remember who's it was nor specifics
PS2: I hc that if wwx (no matter the au) had pets, either he would let others name them (not because he doesn't have ideas, but because he thinks other short-timed joy is more important/more valuable than his decision in things that don't pertain to the safety of his loved ones and if others don't think for even a moment that his silly name for his pet is good for his pet than why shouldn't he listen to them especially if it's coming from his loved ones?), OR he would name his pets after some kind of food.

chengqingxian for the ask meme?
Thanks for the ask!
Do you ship it?
No, sorry.
Why don’t you ship it?
Uhhhh. I don't have much against the ship itself rather than how the live action portrayed Chengqing (and consequently Wen Qing) along with the fact that Wen Qing is one of the two female characters who Wei Wuxian has an actual relationship with.
What would have made you like it?
Oh good point! I do have a fondness for mad scientists who experiment with the poor guy (Jiang Cheng)'s body. Especially novel canon Wen Qing because like—girlie just got pestered enough to experiment on him and Just Did It. Sure why not. Wei Wuxian and Wen Qing's relationship is one of the most fascinating to me because it's about recognising yourself in the other in the worst of times. I do think this ship has ample potential....I would love to see the tragedy of loving two people who decided that they knew what the best for you was, one decided that Clearly She Needs To Cut The Other Up For Science And Shove It Into You and now you have to live with it. Just....Idk, CQL sure was trying to Do Something. That something wasn't for me, good for those who like it though. It sure is feeding everyone's character interaction needs from the little I did watch.
Despite not shipping it, do you have anything positive to say about it?
Mhmm. Anything involving a character that's canonically dead dead and another that has been dead once and another that's famous for never moving on from the denial phase of grief is always a tasty one. Especially if the former two are also real famous for teaming up to consult each other to decide what's best for their younger sibling/shidi. Like....when do they fall for each other? Is it before the war? Is it Miss Grumpy, Mr. Grumpy and Mr. Haha Hehe (all three insane), somehow developing something? Like,,,I do love the horror and intimacy of Qingxian first meetcute because of the instant understanding that the other would leave no stones unturned if something happened to their precious one. But if it did happen before the war....then there's something distinctly horrifying about Wen Qing performing a surgery she had always theorized about, never got subjects for and then got them handed to her and they are the ones she loved. Fucked up. Deeply obsessed with her response when she sees a prone Jiang Cheng in the novel is to go "oh you bring a tortured man and you couldn't bother to knock him unconscious so that he doesn't make people suspicious? Shame on you Wen Ning" and then shoves needles into his head herself. It's just none happiness with left grief for Jiang Cheng because of course the man he loves decides to walk off from him along with the woman he loves as well. Do they not—and they are dead. Great. Great. Wei Wuxian? Wei Wuxian is trying so hard to convince himself that this time he will do the self sacrifice and intimidating other clans with his red eyeliner thing correct. It's not working? OTHER people can do the self sacrifice thing too? Oh no. Honestly this is just canon but sadder, I think.
.....well I have definitely seen manyAUs where Jiang Cheng is engaged to Wen Qing Yanli style and Wei Wuxian feels very normal emotions about it. Surely one also exists where random political marriage between the Yiling Patriarch, Sandu Sengshou and Wen-daifu.

See XiCheng to me is particularly wonderful when Lan Wangji finds out about it. Like he's feeling terrible for his beloved older brother for giving his heart to Jin Guangyao and he's JUST getting over that mess and he's thinking "okay my brother will be fine now the worst has passed".
Then
Then he shows up like "hello Wangji I'm now in love with Jiang Wanyin, say hi Wanyin"
And Lan Wangji is error404-ing what the fuck WHAT THE FUCK going feral because Sandu Sengshou his worst enemy since they were teenagers his bitter rival his rotten cheese his horrible soldier the guy he refused to get along with though they shared similar goals of getting Wei Wuxian some help, the guy he'd fucking throttle and throw in a ditch if he could-
THAT JIANG CHENG
Is dating his brother.
And also I wanna see Wei Wuxian going from "oh Lan Xichen my beloved brother-in-law, my bestie, the only person who's actually a decent person in this godforsaken world nice dude who I am very grateful for" to wanting to interrogate him and going absolutely NUTS and wallowing in confusion on what to even do about this situation because that's still his little brother he's dating and he thought he fully forgot about any "i'm Jiang Cheng's older brother" feelings but turns out they're THERE so now he's like, accidentally super passive aggressive to Lan Xichen because he needs to toe the line like "great guy, wonderful man, I'd kill you, but you're a great dude, get away from my brother."
like
the DRAMA. the sheer ridiculousness. chef's kiss.

[outlaw comboy!JC and sheriff!LXC]
XiCheng | Mo Dao Zu Shi Western AU 01-11-2021
[#xicheng, cowboy and sheriff]
Jiang Cheng was known throughout the whole land, most people knew him under the nickname of Sandu SengShou. He has a large sum put on his head, yet no bounty hunter nor any sheriff managed to capture him for a long time.
He is always seen in black clothing, helping him disappear into the night, with some subtle purple accents added to it.
Everywhere he goes he is riding his loyal horse zidian, a wild thing he managed to tame and only he can ride onto without being thrown off immediately.
And this fearsome man was now in gusu, going from village to village, stealing, fighting, gambling and drinking. He truly was a wild force of nature, nothing able to stop him from doing whatever he wanted to do.
This is why Sheriff Lan Xichen had been proud of himself for catching him with his lasso, throwing him off of his horse, his man stopping the wild animal. He nearly missed the worried glance he gave to his horse, only to instead sneer at lxc.
lxc was pretty used to criminals giving him rather snide and rude remarks, not that affected buy the one jc was using with him. "I didn't know that one of the great lan was into this kind of game" he remarked once, laughing at the blush creeping on lxc cheek as he was tying him up tightly in his cell, trying to keep him from reaching anything or moving around too much.
Sandu SehngShou also had the reputation of somehow escaping from anywhere.
but it is not in jc plans than to wait quietly and die in this jail, especially not when he is most likely to be executed for his crimes.
So he does what he knows works well on a man like lxc: he teases him and tries to seduce him. He knows his thing, it always works.
the first two days lxc is rather wary of jc, only to slowly relax on the third day of watching over him as other people are coming here for him. jc makes a show of trying to get out of his bond (as if he hadn't already loosened the thing up ready to go).
he talks and talks, teasing and taunting lxc, trying to get (rather cute) reactions out of him.
"Hey Mr sheriff, why don't you come closer so we can talk more intimately" jc suggest when he finally managed to lead lxc on a more exciting road.
lxc makes the mistake of thinking this was a safe thing to do, joining jc in his cell. jc looks up to him, a smirk on his lips, looking as if he was daring him to do something.
So he does, gently cupping his cheeks as if jc was fragile, kissing him. (jc is a bit taken aback by how sweet and gentle it is, but quickly gets over how he enjoys it).
He lets lxc leads a bit, let him forget what situation they are in exactly, who he is kissing right now.
jc would lie if he said he didn't want to stay longer to see what this (admittedly handsome) sheriff would do with him, but he does intend on living and staying longer after five days is no good.
so he attacks lxc by surprise as he kisses down his jaw and neck,
pinning the taller man to the ground, skillfully and quickly binding his wrist and arms behind his back. "I do have to admit, you are a good kisser, mister Sheriff" jc chuckles, giving one last kiss to lxc as he steals his keys, quickly getting out of the cell and getting his belonging.
It is not hard to find zidian and steal her back, soon riding off into the desert before anyone could come to help lxc.
all the sheriff can do is run outside with his arm still bound, looking into the sunset where the silhouette of the criminal is slowly getting smaller and smaller. lxc clenches his jaw, regretting being so naive, yet not hating the lingering feeling of lips against his.
unlike what he usually does, jc does dare glance back towards them, seeing lxc getting out of the sheriff's office.
He has a tight feeling in his chest, feeling saddened in a way to be leaving lxc behind. What a fool he is to fall like this for someone.
at least his week in the cloud recess had been pleasant and he won't be forgetting about lxc anytime soon. Maybe they would meet again.
of course, lxc cannot possibly let this humiliation live like this. He was the one to be bewitched by the beautiful and cunning criminal. He now has to go and find him again to capture him correctly this time (of course there's no other reason behind this).
and so he leaves the village into his brother's hand, knowing he would be well-fitted to protect their home with their uncle. 
And with this, he runs in the same direction jc took.
it is a bit hard at first to find back jc tracks, going by words spoken in saloons, rumours of where sdss was last seen. Anything could help him find him back. and soon he does, always a beat behind.
they do meet up at some places, jc making it more than known he knows lxc has been following him for weeks now, yet he doesn't actually seem bothered by this, more amused than anything else.
it's become a game of cat and mouse, lxc chasing after him, fighting him, and being seduced even more by him. Sometimes jc would allow himself to be captured, only to run away in the morning after leaving hints of where his next destination was going to be.
of course, lxc is not the only one after the fearsome sandu shengshou.
but he won't allow that.  So he fights anyone who tries to capture him, not caring about the small rumours going around about some foolish sheriff chasing sandu shengshou and fighting off anyone so he could be the one to capture him. They are missing an important part of this story.
Then one of jc heists with a group of criminals actually goes really wrong and lxc does manage to pull him out of there. They hide in a cave in the desert, lxc tending to his gunshot wound.
lxc always treats him well, yet it always feels strange to jc to be treated so well and so gently. But he knows he cannot stay by lxc side, be it for the man's reputation or because what he managed to steal would only attract people who would hurt him badly.
something in jc truly wants to believe lxc words when he says he will take care of him if he accepts to come back with him, that nothing would ever happen again. "We could be so happy, I would make sure you have everything you want," lxc says.
it warms jc, to hear someone promising something like this to him. no one ever did it so honestly before, as if he was really ready to do anything for him.
"I'd... love to see that" jc whispers with a smile. It truly does sound like something nice. leaving behind his dangerous lifestyle, settling down, even if only for a couple of years, and being loved by someone.
but he knows better than to allow himself something like this.
when lxc wakes up the next morning, the place next to him is already cold and there is no trace of the injured jc. No hints were left behind this time, only the coldness of the desert morning lingering in the cave and memories of sweet words whispered in the night.
but he cannot give up, he went for so long already travelling around the land, chasing after his beloved, he cannot give up now.
But it is hard to do so. He realises how much jc must have left behind for him to hear and follow.
words of the fearsome sandu shengshou get scarce, slowly rumours of him dying after his last heists gone wrong travel from saloon to saloon, some people even rejoicing such a criminal to die.
but lxc doesn't listen to them, he simply cannot.
His beloved must still be alive.
So he travels, following dead ends, grasping at anything that could bring him back to his pretty and cunning cowboy.
lxc hopes slowly die after months of searching days and nights, looking for everything. He did find impostors slandering his beloved name (which he punished them for), but nothing about eth real jc.
after the latest dead-end that leads him to another impersonator, lxc is ready to give up, his throat feeling tight as he feels like he needs to accept the reality that his lovely criminal might have really died, be it from his injury or someone who wanted something from him.
he is getting ready to go back home with a heavy heart, packing everything on his horse when the neigh of a horse catches his attention.
As he looks up into the sunrise, he sees a man atop the hill, sitting on a dark horse.
lxc feels like his legs never made him run as fast as he does now, going up the hill as the man and the horse stays there, his hands fumbling for his lasso.
He is still catching his breath when he reaches the top, lasso in his hands and ready to throw.
his aim his perfect, catching the man he wanted to catch, pulling him off of the horse, arm locking around him tightly. "You caught me again, mister sheriff, what shall I do now?" asked the pretty and cunning cowboy.
"Why not come back home with me?" lxc suggests, receiving a soft chuckle at his reply.
"This sounds like a lovely idea" replies jc.

Saw that Nie Huaisang post. How he needs "someone with considerable weight and status in words and deeds" to reveal NMJ case, and that person is LWJ (he threw the arm in Gusulan junior nighthunt guarded by LWJ, not YMJ or even JinLing's who must also be guarded by JC).
Then, thinking that all along, NHS didn't even consider "that reliable person" To be JC is just... Hilarity at its finest. Especially when people keep reminiscing the Gusulan trio at their youth, and it's even funnier when we consider the fact that NHS and JC supposedly spent 1 year together compared to WWX's 3 months, or to LWJ whom he has never been close with at all.
To add more salt, NHS still didn't chose him, even when considering that a Sect Leader of one great sect "should have" more weight and privilege, than just a famous senior cultivator Hanguang-Jun. Or considering that JGY has Xue Yang etc, shouldn't the infamous sandu sengshou who has been upholding justice and arresting villainous demonic cultivator, be called to the scene? Rather than LWJ, the supporter of demonic cultivation who let his disciples using WWX's inventions, and even taught them WWX's quotes about dividing the class of evil spirits.
Wanna guess why NHS didn't even give him a role? LMAO
Well I'm sure that part of picking Lan Wangji over Jiang Cheng had to do with their respective earned reputation, he needs someone who people are going to listen to, and as we see even when he's correct about Mo Xuanyu being Wei Wuxian, no one actually believes him. He's completely squandered his reputation in those thirteen years that Wei Wuxian was dead and he has no one to blame but himself.
I really don't think the lectures were supposed to be a year long? I've never seen anything in the book that indicated that, though it is a common interpretation. But we do see very clearly during the lectures that the trio is really Wei Wuxian being super cool and fun and charismatic and everyone else putting up with Jiang Cheng so they can hang out with Wei Wuxian.
But yeah, a lot of JC stans arguments fall apart when you look at the things he isn't involved in and doesn't stand against. And it isn't things like him being shut out because 3Zun are best friends, it's that he makes it very clear that he's just not useful for these sorts of things. He doesn't mete out justice, he doesn't keep his word to people, he's got a bitter, rude way of talking to people and he doesn't go out of his way to even talk to people most of the time we see him. You can't just stand there and expect others to do all the work and like you for it. It has to be some level of give and he just doesn't.
NHS may have not been friends with JC, nor more than fair weather friends with WWX, but he does know who honors their arrangements and who doesn't and that's as much as he needs for deciding on who's more likely to help him out.

One I'm realistically never going to write but I do have a title for is "and put dirt on" (from "my brother went down to the river/and put dirt on") which would be a TMA ~ AU for MDZS, with Corruption avatar Jiang Cheng. Something about his desperate need for community, to be loved, plus his themes of poison (sandu sengshou) and the amount of mosquitoes and bugs and stuff in water...
It would be not super plotty, mostly vingettes? Starting from cloud recesses era or slightly before, when he first starts associating I Have A Strange Connection With Bugs to his isolation/feeling loved conditionally, and continuing as his relationship with bugs gets stronger and his relationship with Wei Wuxian gets worse, ending with probably wwx's resurrection Or with the ending of the temple scene?

Okay so I’m deep in mdzs and BSD hell so I decided to combine the two and of course got carried away. So here the mdzs characters and their abilites and a little bit if world building of course.
Idk how the mdzs cast meet the BSD cast but it’s definitly through NHS. For timeline the mdzs cast is after the whole NHS killing JGY stuff and Nhs is the leader of the Four Clan wich is the name of their organisation. For BSD cast Idk but Chuuya lives .
For the world building there is five big organization in China they have all the Chinese ability users the new little organizations always destroyed ver fast.
Four Clans (of course)
Heavenly court (only for the rich),
Ghost realm ( criminals, rivals with Heavenly court ),
Twelve Mountains (shitty system, watching over twelve cities)
Demons ( not really united but somehow is (?) bad name choice even worse work ethic)
Anyway the Four clan previously known as Five clan is one organization with five main clan and their branches with one leader at the top. It’s the only organization in china where bloodline is valuable because the main branch leader position is inherited . Also the only organization where in marriages are a very practiced thing to make it more stabil.
Wen: most diverse fraction, lot of abilities connected to fire and explosions, and lots of healers surprisingly, thinks the organization should be a mafia
Lan: most peaceful fraction, the abilities aren’t fighting abilities, powerful but not in a fighter way, every young member goes there to study the values of the organization and other stuff they need to study
Jiang: inventors, they are those who goes out to find people with abilities, and they help them grow in potential, exploring every way it can be used
Nie: they are the fighters, mainly a bunch of adrenaline addicts, reckless and dying young because of it.
Jin: business men money related abilities, they bring in the money, goes whichever way offers more money
Individual abilities
Lan Wangji :
ability: Hanguang jun
While he makes sounds (talking playing music or tapping) people are obligated to tell him the truth.
Wei Wuxian:
ability: Yiling Patriarch
If someone hears the music he plays alive after death with the same tune he can activate the body and he can control it (only the body has to be dead)
Jiang Wanyin:
ability: Sandu sengshou
Can control any electronic thing his ability register as a weapon ( Zidian : last gift from his mother, who had similar ability but with transporting devices; a motorcycle, once saw Mrs Yu running over someone with it ever since thinks of it as a weapon; Sandu: his favorite gun)
Wen Ning
ability: Ghost General
Can bind people souls to their bodies. But he has to be there at the moment they died and their body is still dead so they can’t do anything with it even tough the soul never left the body ( big disappointment WRH had big hopes for him but his ability turned out to be quite useless).
Wwx and WN are partners after WN died bc he bound his soul to his body and with wwx he can control his body.
Sorry I’m sure I had more idea but I’m tired and I don’t remember you can write ideas comments an I will update it with more characters but first and foremost I write it for myself so please don’t be rude

Resentful spirit *entering Jiang Cheng's body*: Haha! I have you now, Sandu Sengshou! I will use the power of my anger to devour your shivering soul and cause chaos!
Jiang Cheng: Oh?
Spirit: ...what.
Jiang Cheng: You want anger? I'll show you anger!
Spirit: Wait...! *gets violently evicted and sent to the other side, legs broken*
Jiang SiC: Sect Leader, you have to stop letting them do thisTT

‘ i didn’t know i’d love you so much. ‘ jc to claude
Tumblr media
    removing the glove from your fingers may seem like an over complicated gesture, but you both understand what it means. you take his hand in your own pressing the back to your own forehead. closing your eyes for just a moment. you want to savor the feeling of this tender moment. he did not know he could love you so much more. but then again, neither could you. in truth you were meant to do this together.
    what this is you do not truly understand? marriage? regional relations? hope? it all melds into the warmth of joy and romance that seems to boil in the heat of yunmeng’s summer. they say the the king and sandu sengshou were talking another morning wyvern ride! i saw them in the tea shop this morning! they were kissing on the balcony last night! what a romance! you two  were practically the talk of the town these days. 
    and tomorrow you  were due to leave for lanling. your beloved parents, as well as judith, and nader had all left for the wedding yesterday or so you had been told. admittedly, you had been too busy reaping the benefits of being a nearly married man to process it. but hey, you are in love with your fiance. wins all around, truly.
