my latest fic idea, wherein jiang cheng leaves the jiang sect to become a rogue cultivator
ok so canon-compliant au where jc has enough of jfm’s shit, cuts his hair, and leaves the jiang sect 
i am currently in class and very tired but this is something i saw on twitter and it has not left my mind since so lemme break it down:
some time after the indoctrination at qishan but before the attack on lotus pier
y'all know that scene where jfm tells jc that he doesn't understand what the yunmengjiang motto means 
yeah that got my blood boiling because i am a #1 jc stan and fuck you jfm 
so maybe instead of taking it, jc just. snaps. goes off on jfm for being a shite dad for making him feel like he was never worthy, never enough, never good enough to be acknowledged by his father etc etc. and he just. walks out
cue silence. madam yu is especially surprised and tries to call him back but he ignores her point blank
he goes to his room, packs his things, leaves his bell on the bedside table
now as yall may know, back in the day cutting your hair was a no-no because of parents and stuff and how its a link to your parents etc etc
jc stands in front of the mirror, takes his hair down, unsheathes sandu, and just when wwx and jyl walk into the room, intent on comforting him, he cuts the hair at shoulder length
cue silence pt. 2
he hugs his sister, says sorry, tells wwx to not be an idiot and take care of jyl, and walks out
cue crying
he is no longer Jiang Cheng, heir of YunmengJiang Sect. he is just another face, another cultivator
madam yu, is, understandably distraught and angry and tries to convince him to stay on his way out
he apologizes, brushes her off, and with one last glare towards his father, he walks out of Lotus Pier. 
he travels for a few days before hearing that lotus pier has been attacked by the Wens
(jfm and jyl stay in lotus pier in this instead of leaving and yzy
of course, he rushes back home to see the place in flames, disciples dead and his family missing
Jfm is dead. Yzy, jyl, and wwx are missing
Jc is torn between the need to murder wc and wzl and find his family
He decides to find his family
Wwx has been caught and un-golden-cored and is now missing 
Yzy is not in the best shape
she gives him zidian 
jc uses his connections with lxc and nhs to get lwj over here immediately because ‘i have to find my brother and you're basically a bottom magnet’
Meanwhile yzy and jyl, with the help of the lan and nie sect, take back lotus pier
Yzy dies, big sad
Jyl is made the clan leader of yunmengjiang
Sunshot campaign happens 
Oh btw wwx was tossed into burial mounds and is now: demonic cultivator
Wen chao, wlz, wlj are all dead <3
Sunshot campaign 
jc is using different forms of fighting that he’s learned over the months with cultivators from other sects and is formidable as ever
Everything ends up the same, the only difference being that jiang yanli strikes up a marriage deal with lan xichen for lan wangji and wei wuxian
Jiang cheng is like ‘ok my job here is done goodbye’ and he leaves once again
He meets wen qing and the wen remnants 
Goes to the phoenix mountain hunt, and with the combined alliance of the lan sect and jiang sect + a certain demonic cultivator, the jiangs take the wens to the jiang sect
Wen ning is still a corpse dude but wwx fixes that so he’s undead but still like. Walking n stuff
Yada yada wangxian wedding yada yada yanqing yada yada sperm donor jzx yada yada jin ling exists but he’s the jiang sect heir
post sunshot camapign, once the dust has settled
Jc keeps travelling and learning
He meets sl who is looking for xxc
They find him practically dead with a-qing next to him, alive, but just barely (listen idgaf abt canon ok)
Sl goes off to find xy, who killed xxc
Xxc, with his dying breath, tells jc where to find baoshan sanren and begs him to take care of a-qing
He dies :((
Jc tells lwj the address and long story short wwx gets his core back, making him x2 stronger as a demonic cultivator
Oof jin sect does not like that
Bloop fuck the jin sect, all my homies hate the jin sect
Madam jin kicks her husband out onto the streets (’thats what you get for cheating on me so much you rat bastard’)
Jiggy is also dead. There's a certain smell of lotus flowers and even a petal next to him. No one says anything because reasons
Nmj and lxc grieve their murder twink together because thats romance baby
jzx becomes the sect leader, makes mianmian head disciple and everyone’s happy
Jyl asks jc to come back to the jiang sect and be head disciple or an advisor, but he doesn’t take it
he’s welcome to cloud recesses because lqr is a bitch and would’ve liked jc over wwx and also because jc loves a-yuan and wants to see his brother often fuck you lwj
and jc is wandering the world, hunting demons, teaching his daughter about cultivation (demonic and otherwise because in this why would he hate it) and he occasionally goes home to yunmeng to see his sister and his nephew and jyl dotes on a-qing and at the end of the day he has no responsibilities and nothing to fear, and even though his father called him a coward and told him he wouldn't survive a minute alone, he knew that he had proved him wrong and attempted the impossible, and succeeded.

yunmeng wei au
let’s add something to the list of “AUs I’ll never write” - feel free to play in this with me:
Jiang Fengmian was a servant and close confidant to Wei Changze, Cangse Sanren is still BSSR’s disciple who descended, Yu Ziyuan was the heir of a small, almost insignificant Cultivator’s family - almost insignificant except for the spiritual weapon Zidian. Bam, meet-cute, same pairings as canon, same kids as in canon, same timeline. JFM+YZY hit the road and die during a night-hunt in Yiling, YZY passes Zidian on to her (what the fuck are canon ages?) 10-or-so-years old daughter and tells her to grab her brother and run. lbr Yanli would manage to get them both to Lotus Pier somehow, might take a few months but they’ll get there, WCZ & CSSR adopt them both and by the time Cloud Recesses Boarding School comes around we’ve got:
Zidian-swinging Jiang Yanli. Still the only braincell of the three siblings, still caring, still a bit timid but she takes absolutely no shit. First disciple? First disciple. Basically the goal here is to make Jin Zixuan spot her absolutely decimating the other disciples in training during a diplomatic visit and go “holy shit that woman could kill me and I’d say yes and thank you” (if xuanli is the pairing...just saying, jyl/wen qing doesn’t get enough love) - regardless, OP yanli it’s what she deserves
Sect heir Wei Wuxian. fucking disaster. posterboy of “why familial inheritance is Not The Way To Go”. yeah he knows he has responsibilities and he does try but he’s sadly too carefree for his role. would still tear his own arm off for any of his family members but in daily life? no. (either that or he would be far too compassionate and drunk on the power to help the downtrodden i cannot tell...maybe that would be him as a sect leader. he will do so badly because he s a walking diplomatic incident with how irreverent and outspoken he is and I am not sure if he would have the mind to manage resources properly....)
Jiang Cheng, resident wwx-minder. spends most of the day attempting to get the sect heir to act befitting for his station. inferiority complex/competitiveness somewhat mitigated by good parenting and the station reversal because it wouldn’t do for a mere disciple to surpass the sect heir; still a bit of a jelly bean ofc. not sure how much threatening/yelling at wwx would be appropriate but wwx lets him get away with everything and wcz&cssr are just glad that he’s so sensible compared to wwx
misc:
the best part might be that the “sect heir” thing gives wwx a bit more immunity, no? lwj fights him over the emperor’s smile and then the next morning finds out he caused a diplomatic incident and almost started a war by nearly killing a sect heir, seeks him out to smooth the waves and witnesses jc chasing wwx and whacking him with his sleeves, also for causing a diplomatic incident, while nhs cheers them from the sidelines. lwj forces himself to be far more tolerant while screaming and dying inside constantly except by the end of the year he’s angrier at himself for falling in love with this obnoxious, uninterested sect heir - sect heir! you fool! that man needs heirs of his own one day
how much canon divergence will else happen? i’ve seen a few post by uh dr-wcn i think mention demonic cultivator!jiang cheng and ngl that would fit, that would hit
wen remnants are basically wei wuxian going: “respectfully, eat my entire ass” before settling the lot of them at lotus pier and done, while jiang cheng has an apoplexy in the background...or is secretly grateful because core transfer?
concept: cssr survives the massacre at lotus pier because she’s away helping her shidi xxc with a thing
wouldn’t it be hilarious if wwx never develops his fear of dogs and instead has. 2 dozen of them, not even spiritual dogs but ill-educated strays he picks off the street
concept: lxc mentions what a talented cultivator the ymw sect heir is to lwj and encourages him to write to wwx under the guise of diplomacy and the exchange of skills but actually because he hopes that lwj can make friends through pen & paper. it works, they become pen pals and are then completely disillusioned by their first irl meeting: lwj can’t believe that the smart guy with the admittedly messy handwriting is an alcoholic gremlin, wwx can’t believe the eloquent guy with the subtle, biting humour is such an unexpressive stick-in-the-mud
xuanli. just. the sole legitimate son of the richest bitches courting the daughter of a servant? the OUTRAGE
“live without regrets” or smth would be great sect words just saying
(excuse the incoherence i am so so tired)
