Just gonna throw a few prompts around tumblr to see what sticks.

Jiang Cheng fails a timetravel fix-it, it results in Wei Wuxian pulling a MianMian AU

Jiang Wanyin goes missing from Cloud Recesses a few weeks after Wei Wuxian was sent back to Lotus Pier.

Madam Yu irrationally banishes Wei Wuxian for failing to protect Jiang Wanyin despite him not being there.

Rogue Cultivator Wei Wuxian goes investigating to find Jiang Cheng and discovers him alive and well but deaged to a small child with memory loss.

Now Wei Wuxian could return to Lotus Pier... But Jiang Cheng was never fully appreciated there and he's such a cute tot now. Also Wei Wuxian is wary of the unreasonable expectations that young Jiang Cheng would be burdened with to 'do it right this time' by Madam Yu.

So Wei Wuxian gets his dream cottage and farm early and raises Jiang Cheng (renaming him as well because its a new start) again far away from said toxic environment with all the unconditional love and support he should have gotten growing up.

Prioritising parenting over night hunting (because he remembers being orphaned on the streets) Wei Wuxian sits out the Sunshot Campaign completely(to the extent of purposely ignoring all cultivation world news), The Sunshot Campaign lasts long enough that without Wei Wuxian all the sects are in ruins at the end of it.

Years later Jiang Cheng encounters something on a night hunt that restores his memory and the reason he was deaged in the first place. Jiang Cheng had travelled back in time to 'fix' things (funnily enough removing Wei Wuxian from the Jiang before he could antagonise Wen Chao) but the clash of his original core and the transplanted core sent him into a Qi Deviation that de-aged him.

16 years after he was de-aged Jiang Cheng investigates the changed world outside of his home and things are to put it lightly, so much worse.

Lotus Pier is basically gone, Madam Yu is missing her right hand, Yanli is grieving over dead Jin Zixuan. Rebuilding Lotus Pier is impossible because Madam Yu has zero support because of her behaviour and Yanli is basically a grieving ghost.

Lan WangJi is still in a coma from fighting the Xanwu of Slaughter 16ish years ago.

Jin Guangyao is Sect Leader Jin through lack of better option, he very much enjoyed giving Madam Jin the boot from Koi Tower.

All the great sects have been reduced to minor sects with little chance of ever rising again.

Jiang Cheng has no idea how to fix this mess, but he's going to need Wei Wuxian's help.

This. This is an amazing idea.

...........Oops. I think I might've accidentally pressed post. Eh-he.

Also, I was a lot nicer on Wei Wuxian since I could have had Madam Yu whip him before kicking him out. Let's just say that Madam Yu was too distraught or grieved to think about dealing with Wei Wuxian like that, okay?

_____________________________

It happened a few years after Wei Wuxian’s death. Jiang Cheng had been drowning in his sorrows and had had enough of this. ENough of being alone, enough of missing his parents, his sister, his....his brother. He hated this feeling of guilt over leading the siege, over not doing enough to make everything right. 

And Wei Wuxian’s notes contained just the thing.

Time travel.

It would be risky. If he failed, he would lose his core. But what hasn’t Jiang Cheng lost already?

Laying down the prepared array, he took a deep breath and poured his spiritual energy in. The array lit up and Jiang Cheng felt himself being sucked in. 

.

.

Pain.

All he could feel was pain. Sharp and constant and crushing. 

Everything went black.

..................................................

Wei Wuxian had been peacefully studying some random arrays when a shidi of his burst into the room.

“Da-shixiong. Da-shixiong! You have to run now!”

“Huh? Shidi, what’s wrong?”

“It’s Yu-furen! She seemed angry and I eavesdropped and she said she’s kicking you out! I think she’s serious this time!!”

"What reason did she give this time?" Wei Wuxian rolled his eyes. Madam Yu made this same threat at least three times a month.

"She said that it's your fault Jiang-gongzi went missing. So....so...."

"Jiang Cheng is missing?!" Wei Wuxian exclaimed.

"Yeah, he went missing on a night hunt at the Cloud Recesses. But never mind that, Da-Shixiong, hurry!"

Frowning, but knowing that this was most likely not a joke, he quickly packed everything - even Suibian - up into qiankun pouches and hid them in his robes.

His shidi left and Madam Yu burst into his room soon after, storming over to him. He tensed up, knowing that that expression meant that he might be punished.

Madam Yu grabbed his collar and dragged him away, tossing him to the ground outside Lotus Pier.

"Yu-furen, what--?" He was smacked across the face as Madam Yu glared at him.

"It's your fault." She hissed at him. "If you were there, you could have prevented A' Cheng from going missing! If only you hadn't been so disobedient--Get out!" Her expression was thunderous and promised a world of pain if he didn't go. "Leave your bell and get lost!"

Shakily, Wei Wuxian untied his bell and ran away from there. He didn't want to stick around to find out what would happen if he tried to contest her decision.

The scars on his back was more than enough proof of what happened when he disobeyed.

.....................................

The first step to his new life was finding a steady source of income and that was easy enough. he'd built up a reputation in his time with the Jiang of helping whenever needed so people were more than willing to employ him to assist with local hauntings and minor yaos. (Madam Yu hated going on such easy hunts and often ignored the cry for help in places like these.)

He rather enjoyed this life rather than the restrictive one he led at Yunmeng Jiang where he had to think about politics and the like when no one taught him how to act better.

.

.

Now that he had enough money, Wei Wuxian decided to go investigate Jiang Cheng's disappearance in Gusu. One quick ask around for someone of Jiang Cheng's description and Wei Wuxian headed towards the forest where he was last scene.

After wandering without aim for a while, Wei Wuxian wanted to give up, but soon heard crying in a cave nearby. Wary of it being some kind of creature that wanted to lure him into a trap, he drew Suibian and inched closer to the sound.

Upon seeing a flash of Yunmeng purple, Wei Wuxian gasped as he recognized the robes.

"Jiang Cheng?!" He cried, rushing in.

He couldn't have expected what he saw next.

Cocooned in his now much larger robes was a mini Jiang Cheng!

The child looked frightened and curled away from him, eyes blank and unknowing.

Oh. "Umm, hello" He said quietly and he knelt down a distance away from Jiang Cheng. "What are you doing here?"

Jiang Cheng stayed quiet and looked at him warily. "....Got lost. Got hungry and got lost."

"I see." Wei Wuxian felt guilty. He should have come sooner! "Then, shall gege share some food with you?" He rummaged in his qiankun pouch and brought out two apples. He ate one to show that it was safe and handed the other to the child.

Jiang Cheng eyed it and moved forward to take it. Wei Wuxian did not move, not wanting to frighten him. He quickly grabbed the apple and chowed down on it. Knowing that he'd likely choke, Wei Wuxian carefully put down a waterskin that the child quickly grabbed after he started choking.

Wei Wuxian sighed in relief seeing the mini Jiang Cheng okay now. But.....Jiang Cheng didn't remember him. That was obvious after Wei Wuxian had asked whether he wanted to go home and was given a confused look and a quiet 'to whom?'.

Now Wei Wuxian had a choice. He could quietly return to Lotus Pier with Jiang Cheng and perhaps get back into the good graces of Madam Yu or......he could take care of Jiang Cheng himself.

Jiang Cheng had never been appreciated by his parents, with his father being too strict and his mother always berating him and comparing him to others (though mostly it was Wei Wuxian). Wei Wuxian always wanted to take Jiang Cheng away from such a place where he was never given encouragement but he never could given his status and place among the Jiang.

But now.......

Determination shone in Wei Wuxian's eyes.

...........................................

"Baba, baba!" A child squealed happily. "You're back!"

Wei Wuxian smiled back, picking up his child. "I'm back! Have you been good?"

"Yes, yes! I even cleaned the house!"

Wei Wuxian gasped delightedly. "Oh my god, baobei! You're the best!"

"Mm!"

It had been nearly a year since Wei Wuxian had found the amnesiac de-aged Jiang Cheng and a few months since they finally settled down in a cottage on the outskirts of the cultivation world. Wei Wuxian had worked tirelessly to get them this far and he has to say, he's done a magnificent job at child rearing!

It had taken a few weeks to get Jiang Cheng to trust him enough to leave with him and another week to travel away from the sects. Along the way, Wei Wuxian took lower level night hunts to earn some income. Any time there was talk of a strong monster abouts, Wei Wuxian considered helping them, but knew that he was one bad night hunt away from leaving Jiang Cheng on the streets to fend for himself.

His parents' ends were a stark reminder of that so Wei Wuxian did not take the night hunts. However, he did not feel good about leaving the innocent to fend for themselves until whatever sect was nearby deemed it worthy enough of their attention. For places like these, Wei Wuxian stayed longer in order to create some talismans to ensure protection against such beasts. He was always paid for his work, of course - he has a child to feed, after all! - but tried not to deprive a family of all their funds. He wasn't heartless.

And so, life had passed like this until he assisted an elderly couple near the edge of a place called Yunnan. The couple had no children to speak of and no relatives so they had asked Wei Wuxian if he could look after his garden and cottage once they passed.

Wei Wuxian wasn't one to refuse since this meant a steady roof over their heads and a constant source of food nearby.

He accepted.

That's where he's living now with Jiang Cheng who's been newly renamed to Wei Hu (lake), courtesy name: Chunyu (spring rain).

They'd been living without troubles for some time now that Wei Wuxian had largely left the cultivation world. Of course, he occasionally disguised himself and headed to his merchant who sold his talismans for him from time to time, but aside from that, he largely stayed at home with his adorable child, farming away while his donkey brayed in the background.

This life was one he had always wanted. A partner, a child, him and a donkey. He's missing a partner, a lifelong companion, for now but he could be content without one. Not many people want a single father as their spouse and Wei Wuxian could be content with that.

(There were whispers of a war between the cultivation sects but why should that matter to Wei Wuxian? He was no longer a part of them.)

.............................................

Many years later.......

Wei Chunyu was on a night hunt by himself! His baba had finally allowed him to go hunt beasts alone!! Baba was always protective over him despite how strong he had gotten. After finally managing to hit his baba while they sparred, he was allowed to go hunt for himself without supervision.

Licking his lips, he readied his sword for whatever monster lurked before him.

.

.

.

Jiang Cheng felt like he had been hit by a bear yao. Just what on earth had happened?? Shaking his dizzy head, he tried to remember what had happened.

I activated the array and I remember seeing my much younger hands and then..... Jiang Cheng jolted in shock. I qi-deviated!I qi-deviated and turned into a child because of a dissonance with the core from my future life and the core of my past life! But why? The array said my cores should merge, but maybe....because mine was brought back by Baoshan Sanren.....

Jiang Cheng gathered himself and then remembered. He remembered the life he had lead after that.

Wei Wuxian.....adopted me! He adopted me and took care of me and.....and loved me. Even though I.....I....I was planning on removing him from the Jiang before he could ever cross paths with Wen Chao. I mean, I guess, in a way, I did remove him from the Jiang but what happened with the war? It's been so long.

Shaking off his dread, he strapped his sword to his side and went into town. Asking discretely around for some information, citing that he didn't know anything because he's from Yunnan, Jiang Cheng held his head in his hands in distress.

The war had been won by the Sunshot allies. But all the sects were in ruin by the ends of it.

The Wen sect is still there but only the healers and civilians had been left. Wen Qing had taken ahold of the remnants of the clan, given reparations to the sects for Qishan Wen's crimes and dissolved the Qishan Wen sect and soon disappearing with her family from the rest of the world.

Lotus Pier still met the same end, having been decimated. But his mother was still alive, merely missing her right hand and some pride. (Though her reputation as someone too fierce and always angry had driven away what little recruits the Jiang had.) His sister - he could nearly cry at that - was alive but Jin Zixuan was still dead, leaving her as a husk of herself. Jin Guangyao had become the head of the Jin sect after his father's untimely death and booting Madam Jin back to her maiden family.

The Lan sect is barely hanging on, with Lan Xichen grieving over his comatose brother who had become like that through the draining fight with the Xuanwu of Slaughter and Lan Qiren barely alive.

The Nie sect has been reduced to nearly nothing as well, what with Nie Mingjue half-dead from multiple qi-deviations and Nie Huaisang who was suddenly thrust into the Sect Leader role unprepared.

"It's a mess." He muttered to himself. "It's all a mess."

Jiang Cheng has no idea how to fix this mess, but he's going to need Wei Wuxian's help. But....how?

No matter how much of a genius Wei Wuxian was, there was no bringing back the dead from life, not with how uninvolved Wei Wuxian was with demonic cultivation in this life and how the bodies had probably been cremated already.

Of course, he could rally together the Jiang sect again but if rumors of how volatile his mother was were true......perhaps it would be best not to provoke her.

They could bring his sister with them. She was alive and....well, not quite well, but she was alive! And maybe taking her out of the cultivation world will do her some good. It sure did Jiang Cheng a whole lot better....wait. What is he thinking?!

Jiang Cheng shook his head. No matter how comfortable his life was with Wei Wuxian, he shouldn't be thinking like this! But.....his sister deserves some peace after everything that's happened to her.

And Lan Wangji......well. Having a sect leader in his debt would be nice. Wei Wuxian was sure to concoct some sort of miracle with his talismans and bring Lan Wangji back to consciousness. If Lan Xichen were to be grateful to them, it would surely help with.....something. Maybe he could even solve Nie Mingjue's health issues!

But he would have to discuss everything first and maybe even tell Wei Wuxian the truth of how this all occurred?

Jiang Cheng packed up his stuff and headed back......back home. Because it was his home now. Wei Wuxian had always irritated him and Jiang Cheng even hated him, despised the very thought of him. But in this life.....it was different. Wei Wuxian......was a great father and raised him extremely well.

But.....what if Wei Wuxian grew angry with him for all of this? He didn't know what to think or how Wei Wuxian would act.

As his mind clouded up with worries, he hadn't realized he had already returned.

"A' Yu? Are you back already?"

Jiang Cheng froze up and Wei Wuxian's warm smile graced him. "Uhh...."

"Hm? What's wrong A' Yu? Did the night hunt go wrong? Did you get hurt?"

"No. It went fine. But....But Baba--" God, that sounds so weird! "--I have something to tell you."

"You can tell me anything. You know I'm always here to listen."

Jiang Cheng's heart warmed. "Well, you see, the thing is....."

He'd figure this out. They'd both figure this out. And maybe, this time around, the three of them would always be together.

[Fake dating, amnesia]

ChaoCheng | Mo Dao Zu Shi Modern AU 24-05-2021

[#chaocheng (or chengchao? what's the ship name?), modern]

inspired by the idea of the novel am reading: Wen Caho is kind of a bully to everyone and good student jiang cheng one day defends himself a bit more instead of ignoring him and pushing him.

the problem is that he pushes him too hard and ended up injuring wc, sending him to the hospital. still somewhat guilty and worried, he also is scared that wc would retaliate against him once he wakes up. the thing is... wc actually lost his memory? and upon seeing jc he wonders who their relationship is.

instead of simply saying he was the one who called for an ambulance when he got into an accident, jc ends up lying about them being friends. but wc cannot tell his friend!! After all, they had kept their friendship a secret from others, so of course, none of wc friends would know he was friends with him! (also jc doesn't want them to beat him up).

but without his memory and jc insisting that they were "good friends" but /couldn't/ tell anyone, wc ends up assuming that they were actually secret lovers.

cue misunderstanding where jc ends up (fake) dating wc, hoping that he won't remember who actually made him lose his memory, but also that he if plays along well enough, wc will be more merciful towards him.

cue misunderstandings, wc clearly actually being in love with jc (because he was already in love despite never accepting it or showing it), more misunderstanding, awkward dates and jc actually falling in love with wc

maybe some angst when wc regain his memory and realised /jc had been lying to him all this time/. cue more angst where jc doesn't accept his own feeling yet and take this opportunity to break thing off.

tho he regrets it and realises his feeling not long after, but what can he do? He already "broke up" with wc and the young man was most likely hating him now after his memory came back and learning that jc had basically played him.

then maybe they are forced to work together for school. maybe wc who (of course) still loves him ends up trapping him and want to know the whole truth about the situation, because how could jc do all this without even /some/ feeling for him?

cue jc confesses in tears because he's convinced that it's too late anyway and that wc hates him now.

happy ending they clear up everything after the magic of ✨communication✨is applied. also clear the bullying, which was basically wc being a 5 y/o trying to catch his crush's attention by being mean, never going more than mean and joking around (also not realising that the empty threat he would throw had actually made jc scared of him).

of course, we can add some family drama because jfm is obviously the best dad of the years(tm) and yzy is too focused on jc grades, creating the bad cycle of "have good grades, but still not enough, try having better grades, not enough" wash and repeat.

maybe while playing dating jc actually manages to enjoy wc family because... they aren't as scary as he thought? Sure, wx can be harsh and rude sometimes, but he cares about wc and can be really nice. even wrh, of which he never really heard any good from his parents is actually really good? and seems impressed by his son' "good friend" grade, praising his good effort. plus jc has helped wc a lot to better his grades, which is even better since neither wx nor wrh actually managed to make him focus on school (rebellious wc everyone).

this coupled with how wc is trying to woo him (which isn't /as bad/ as he thought it would be) makes it that he's nearly more comfortable at the wen household than the jiang one, where he's not being compared to anyone else.

(also kodus to anyone who figure out which novel inspired me ;3)

New plot bunny that I definitely won’t follow up on, this one an offshoot of my Bringing Up JC project:

Wei Wuxian never finds the golden core transfer technique. Maybe WQ discreetly removed it from the pile before he got to it, or maybe she never wrote it in the first place. Either way, he doesn’t find a solution. But what he does find is a technique to suppress memories.

Jiang Cheng is wasting away before his eyes. In desperation, Wei Wuxian tries to apply a patch: he’ll seal away Jiang Cheng’s memories.  If Jiang Cheng doesn't remember he was a cultivator, he won't miss his core! And if he doesn't remember his parents are dead, he won't feel the need to kill himself to avenge them!

This is only intended to be temporary, of course. Just to keep Jiang Cheng alive until Wei Wuxian can find something better. And it seems to work! Jiang Cheng buys the story Wei Wuxian feeds him, and he starts eating again and starting to get better. Just until Wei Wuxian can find a real cure.

But then Wei Wuxian gets grabbed by Wen Chao’s goons on the street and dragged away, and tossed to the Burial Mounds, and the now amnesiac Jiang Cheng is left behind...

The Coming Spring AU

Laquan.

The name was spoken in reverence from the southwest and central regions of the Jianghu. A man whose hands could fix any problem and could enrich any life. A man who could drive the dead and demons away from your homes with a simple song from his lips.

Laquan. It had to be a title.

It had to be Wei Ying.

The last time Wei Wuxian was seen within the cultivation sphere was the Phoenix Mountain Hunt. The man had been near a mental breakdown then, and cultivators feared the day he would finally snap and reap havoc upon their lands.

But that day never came. Instead, the demonic cultivator disappeared into the wind.

It had been sixteen years. Sixteen years Lan Wangji had searched so that he could get the man the help he deserved.

Perhaps he had finally found him?

Note: I had a hankering to write something really, really dark so I came up with this. This will be an Amnesiac!Wei Wuxian fic, so our boy is gonna have to be a little bit out of character. You’ll find out what makes it dark when I finally post it in the future.

I also plan on making Jiang Cheng even worse than he is in canon.

Wei Ying takes hold of the books, sheepishly sliding them toward himself. Then he looks at Lan Wangji, his pout transforming into a mischievous smile. “You didn’t peek inside them, did you, Lan Zhan?”

Lan Wangji says nothing, but he steadily holds Wei Ying’s gaze.

“Don’t tell me you’re still embarrassed by things like this,” Wei Ying says. He leans an elbow on the desk and flips one of the books open to an image of a man bending another over a low-hanging tree branch. “After all these years? Ah, Lan Zhan?”

No Loss, by eb4life

After being forced to remain stuck in his wolf form by Madam Yu, Wei Wuxian conforms to her wishes of making it appear that he's runaway from home by doing just that. When he's God knows how far from home and manages to get captured by the knights of a king he's only heard rumors of, Wei Wuxian expects to be killed or imprisoned as the king's personal attack dog. He doesn't expect to move from "exotic pet" to "closest friend" within only weeks of his stay at the king's side. This story is inspired by Bisclavret.

You double-faced entendre, by pink-lotus-pods (Waterlogged_fireflies)

Five years since the Yiling Patriarch surrendered himself to Lanling Jin.

Seven months since Yuandao woke up in a mudfield, caked in blood and filth and his mind completely wiped clean. Seven months since Yuandao traced the scars on his body and made up stories for them, because he didn't know the history of his own body.

He'd heard somewhere that amnesiacs get dreams, sometimes. He wished he got dreams, but his dreams were always gone by morning. He wondered if he was the kind of amnesiac to simply just... not remember his previous life. An anomaly. His Yulang-jie always said that he was always exceeding expectations.

Exceeding expectations.

Now where had he heard that before?

Keep Holding On, by abCEE

As they reached an inn and Wei Wuxian got them a room with three beds, the world seemed to have frozen for Jiang Yanli when her brother suddenly fainted and Jiang Wanyin was just fast enough to catch him before his body could hit the floor.

"A-Xian!"

"Wei Wuxian!"

In which after the Lotus Pier Massacre: Wei Wuxian was greatly injured by Zidian, Jiang Yanli left the inn to buy the medicines and food, and Jiang Wanyin distracted the Wens.

(With a bonus of Wei Wuxian knowing the title of the song and more things ensued inside the Xuanwu Cave that may or may have not involved Lan Wangji's forehead ribbon)

Impossible Remains, by Jengabears

Jiang Cheng wakes slowly to the feeling of spiritual energy swimming through his veins. Not just swimming. Singing. Flooding. He was filled with it. He didn't know if it was because he had been without any for so long or if Baoshan Sanren had chosen to make him stronger, but he had never felt so powerful in his life. It was glorious. It was everything. He felt alive again. Whole. Better than whole. He had to thank her. He had to scream his joy across the mountain. He was so infinitely grateful.

He ripped off his blindfold, turned to look around him, praises and gratitude resting on the tip of his tongue. Yet what his eyes rested on was a face he never expected to see. His joy and gratitude instantly snuffed into ashes in his mouth. His eyes widened in horror at the sight which greeted him. He wished he could take everything back. Every thought which had passed through his mind since he'd woken.

How could this happen?

Time travel fix-it AU, diverging from after Wei Wuxian's death and before Lan Wangji's punishment.

One: Perhaps the not-voice is a spirit, wailing its own grief. Two: Perhaps it is Wei Wuxian. There is no shortage of unhappy spirits in the world, now, so there is no certainty of that, but Lan Wangji must find out if there is any chance at all. Three: They have not taken his guqin, but the guards will hear it if he plays, and they may stop him. Four: He must then leave Cloud Recesses.

Get it right (this time), by AmiraAlzilu

Death would be a fate too kind for Wei Wuxian. He should pay for every sin he committed.

At least that’s the only explanation he has for this impossible situation. After falling from the cliff he woke up in his 15 year old body, just before his months of study at Cloud Recesses.

So, thinking it was for the best, he decides to disappear when he was supposed to be searching for their lost invitation.

Little does he know someone else came back in time with him.

27 for chengxian! (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤

(Losing their memory only to have it come back after a much awaited true love’s kiss.)

Y'all really like that prompt lol I think I have at least one more ask for that one somewhere?

“And he’s been like this the whole time?” Jiang Cheng asked, repressing a shiver of disgust.

“Yes, zongzhu.”

“He didn’t even make a single inappropriate joke?”

“Not so much as a smile, zongzhu. And he said he was sorry for the inconvenience.”

Jiang Cheng gave Wei Wuxian another long look. He would have suspected a joke, but that style of humour would have more been Nie Huaisang’s thing. Wei Wuxian usually went for pranks instead of comedy. Besides, several Jiang disciples had been there when Wei Wuxian had taken in hand the cursed box, and they’d all testified to feeling a powerful discharge of Yin energy. Not only that, but the owner of the box had apparently warned them beforehand of the risk, and explained as well how to cure the curse.

True love’s kiss, of all things.

Normally, when it came to Wei Wuxian, that would have been quite an easy cure to organise. If anything, it was preventing him from indulging in those true love’s kisses that proved a challenge.

So of course this whole mess had to happen when, for once, Jiang Cheng had managed to get his shixiong to come without that damn icicle he called a husband. A favour he had only obtained because Lan Wangji was away on a Night Hunt in a place where resentment toward the feared Yiling patriarch remained too great for Wei Wuxian to go with him. It would take a few days until Lan Wangji could be warned of this incident and returned to administer his cure.

Until then, Jiang Cheng was stuck with this stranger who didn’t look like his shixiong, and didn’t even act like him either.

“At least it’s an improvement over his normal personality,” his first disciple scoffed. “Let’s all enjoy it while it lasts.”

“Am I really that bad?” Wei Wuxian asked with open concern. “If it is inconvenient for others when I am myself, perhaps I’d better stay like this.”

Jiang Cheng huffed. Lan Wangji would never have allowed that, he knew. Someone in that marriage needed to have a personality, and it wasn’t going to be the second jade of Gusu Lan. Although perhaps if they were both equally boring, then perhaps there would be a divorce, and Jiang Cheng could get his shixiong back.

A most tempting plan, except for the fact that this man before him just wasn’t Wei Wuxian, and thus wasn’t worth keeping around.

“Send for Lan Wangji,” Jiang Cheng reluctantly ordered. “And you, come with me,” he added toward Wei Wuxian. “I’m not letting you sleep at some inn when you’re in that state. I’ll have your room prepared, you’re staying where I can see you until you’re better.”

The man who wasn’t Wei Wuxian meekly followed him without a single objection, nor any attempt at teasing. Jiang Cheng found it almost sickening, which surprised him. He’d spent most of his life wishing Wei Wuxian would learn to act more appropriately and to show proper deference to those around him. By all accounts, this should have pleased Jiang Cheng to finally behold a version of his shixiong that knew his place.

He refused to dwell on that, mostly because it never did him good to think too long about that insufferable shixiong of his. Instead, Jiang Cheng congratulated himself on his decision to have had a room prepared for Wei Wuxian the instant he’d heard Lan Wangji wasn’t with him. If he wasn’t going to have shameless intercourse during the whole night, there was no need to banish Wei Wuxian to an inn. Of course Jiang Cheng hadn’t been sure how to offer that bedroom to the other man without being accused of being friendly, so at least one positive side to that curse had been to remove the need for an explanation.

-

After a few days together, Jiang Cheng had determined that being stuck with that unnatural version of Wei Wuxian was the worst torture he’d ever endured, even counting being struck by discipline whips and having his golden core torn from him.

Now that he’d had time to observe the amnesiac man during the afternoon and at dinner, Jiang Cheng had realised that contrary to his first impression, something of Wei Wuxian remained through the loss of memory. It was only small things, a manner of movement, the way he held his glass of tea, or the gesture with which he sprinkled additional spices over his dinner without even tasting it. A hundred ghosts of who Wei Wuxian was, lingering in a man who had too much politeness and not enough humour.

It was striking also to realise just how little Wei Wuxian looked like himself in his current body. Usually it wasn’t noticeable because his personality made up for the difference, but at the moment he truly looked like nothing but a complete stranger wearing a disguise.

Jiang Cheng hated it.

And Wei Wuxian, apparently, noticed it.

“If you tell me more about what I’m normally like, I can try to act more like it,” he said in a forlorn voice on the fourth afternoon, while watching Jiang Cheng take care of his correspondence.

Jiang Cheng only grunted.

“Though from what everyone says, aren’t I more pleasant to have around like this?”

Another grunt. Others were idiots for not appreciating Wei Wuxian as he naturally behaved, while Jiang Cheng was equally stupid for missing it.

“Just tell me what to do,” Wei Wuxian insisted, and Jiang Cheng hated that those were words he’d always wished to hear but now felt so wrong. “Should I smile? Should I be…” he hesitated. “Should I be obnoxious?” he asked in a trembling voice, just pathetic enough that in a roundabout way, it did sound like something Wei Wuxian might say if he were joking.

Jiang Cheng, exhausted and on edge, almost laughed.

Sadly Wei Wuxian noticed, and took it as encouragement.

“I think I can do that,” he claimed, coming to sit closer until he was nearly on Jiang Cheng’s lap.

That, too, felt a little too much like the real Wei Wuxian, though normally he kept that sort of behaviour for Lan Wangji.

Well perhaps that damn icicle liked being climbed over, but Jiang Cheng did not. Not at all, not one bit, that scenario had never once appeared in his dreams, when his mind thought it could betray his good sense. So Jiang Cheng tried to push away Wei Wuxian, who quickly threw his arms around Jiang Cheng’s neck to make it harder.

“Isn’t this the sort of things I’d do?” Wei Wuxian pleaded, pressing himself harder against Jiang Cheng the more his shidi tried to get rid of him, until he was all but straddling him. “I’ve heard people say I’m flirty.”

“Yes, toward your husband!”

“Well, I don’t know him. But I know you. You’ve been kind to me those few days, even when it was obvious that you don’t like seeing me like this. You shout a lot, but I think you’re a very good person at heart.”

“I’ve tried to kill you in the past,” Jiang Cheng blurted, though he gave up on trying to push Wei Wuxian away. “More than once.”

“From what I’ve heard, you’re hardly the only one.”

Two thoughts crossed Jiang Cheng’s mind.

The first was that he might have to borrow some ideas and forbid gossip in the Lotus Pier, if Wei Wuxian had heard so much in so little time.

The second was that he probably ought to hate a little more the way Wei Wuxian was straddling him, and how close he was. Close enough that if someone were to come in, they’d get the wrong idea and think they were about to…

Jiang Cheng’s eyes flickered to Wei Wuxian’s lips. He wondered, and then mentally slapped himself for wondering.

“The cure is a true love’s kiss, isn’t it?” Wei Wuxian asked in a whisper.

“Your damn true love is going to arrive tonight or tomorrow,” Jiang Cheng retorted in a voice that failed to be anything but pleading. “Wait for him instead of playing games.”

“If I wait for him, I’ll never be sure about you,” came the answer, before Wei Wuxian pressed their lips together.

Jiang Cheng, at first, merely allowed it to happen, unsure what to do with his hands, with his mouth even. Wei Wuxian appeared to understand and, without breaking the kiss, placed Jiang Cheng’s hands on his hips while also moving his lips in a gentle manner, as if trying to show him what to do.

When they parted, Wei Wuxian’s cheeks were flushed and his eyes shining with emotion. Then, slowly, his lips parted into the most obnoxious grin in the world, one that Jiang Cheng hadn’t seen once in those last few days.

“Jiang Cheng!” Wei Wuxian laughed, his voice just as annoying as ever. “Jiang Cheng, who knew!”

“Shut up! Get off my lap now that you’re cured!”

Wei Wuxian laughed again, sounding like a demented wolf, and Jiang Cheng hated how much he had missed that.

“Jiang Cheng, don’t pretend, I know you care, you can’t hide it anymore!”

“Who’d care for an asshole like you!” Jiang Cheng exploded, trying again to push away the other man, only for Wei Wuxian to laugh and press another quick kiss to his lips.

“Look at you, all embarrassed! Jiang Cheng, you’re an idiot, you know.”

“I’ll murder you!”

“Been there, done that,” Wei Wuxian retorted with another kiss. “Now listen. The cure was true love’s kiss, not ‘somewhat unrequited long lasting crush kiss’, alright?”

Jiang Cheng stopped fighting instantly, thus giving Wei Wuxian the chance to kiss him again, a little longer this time. Without any input from his brain, Jiang Cheng’s hands found their way to the other man’s hips, this time pulling him closer.

“What about your Hanguang-Jun then?” Jiang Cheng breathlessly asked when they parted. “Does that mean he’s…”

“I’m a very spoiled man,” Wei Wuxian said. “I can have two true loves, to make up for the fact that they’re both absolute bitches.”

The idea of sharing Wei Wuxian, now that Jiang Cheng knew he could have him, was particularly unpleasant. The only thing that would make it bearable, Jiang Cheng decided, was the certainty that Lan Wangji would be appalled that they had anything in common.

Happy with this petty thought, Jiang Cheng kissed Wei Wuxian again.

In the aftermath of everything, the scars of thirty-three lashes heavy on his back, Lan Wangji walks.

He walks through a land ravaged by war, by hunger, by death and sheer neglect, walks through a land that the Cultivation world all but forgets in their own haste to rebuild. He upholds justice, protects the weak. Lives with his regrets.

And then, in a small village South of Qishan, he finds Wei Ying - Alive, smiling, and asking Lan Wangji for his name.

*Imperfect Memory by xantissa

It’s been sixteen years since Wei Wuxian’s death and the world has been slowly going insane ever since. It’s been ten years since the rains stopped coming, almost five since the rivers turned rusty red, the water thick and foul. The people are dying a slow painful death of starvation and disease and all Lan Zhan can do is watch over his dying clan.

When a creature of darkness comes with a shocking offer, there’s really no question. Second Jade of Lan, in exchange for water for his people. Body and soul, in exchange for his clan's survival. He is prepared to die for them. He is not exactly prepared for what being a sacrifice means.

*Love Song In Reverse by timetoboldlygo (WIP)

Wei Wuxian gasps back into life without a single memory left. His friends, his siblings, his home — all lost to the fog in his head, nothing more than a mystery slipping through his fingers. What else was there to do but carry himself around in bits and parts, trying to become whole, a letter waiting to be written? He is – he is Mo Xuanyu, isn’t he? In this body, with these people. This family. He has to be Mo Xuanyu, he didn’t know anything else, even if the name sounded wrong. That was all he had.

Well, that and Hanguang-jun. Lan Wangji, for his part, has had his taste of love and lost it. In all his grieving and searching, he didn’t expect to find another.

Wei Wuxian gets resurrected, loses his memories, and falls in love.

Jiang Cheng sucks in a sharp breath. “What year do you think it is, Wei Wuxian?”

“2001,” Wei Wuxian says, and then cracks up when Jiang Cheng’s eyes widen in alarm. “Calm down, I’m just kidding. I know it’s 2014.”

Jiang Cheng stares at him.

Wei Wuxian is quiet for a beat. “I presume from your reaction that it is not actually 2014.”

“No,” Jiang Cheng says softly. “No, it’s not.”

(Or, the one where Wei Wuxian loses his memories, and tries to figure out why he isn't dating Lan Wangji yet.)

[continuation of this] [read on AO3]

There was no practical way to hide the fact that the Sunshot Campaign’s dread Yiling Patriarch was a homicidal amnesiac (a mad dog, they said, a crime and danger to keep around; leashed only by the Jiang siblings and Hanguang-jun, and how secure was that leash, anyway? Jiang Cheng held his head high and kept walking, because he didn’t have the time to deal with every little thing and he didn’t have a cogent counterargument.) 

How could it stay silent? He was still Wei Wuxian; he didn’t have a subtle bone in his body. He bounced around each night’s camp greeting people like they were new and asking what they were doing like they hadn’t done the same thing yesterday, and the day before, and the day before that. He flirted with Lan Wangji so outrageously that Jiang Cheng was starting to think the Second Jade really must love the idiot, to tolerate it all. He still remembered Jiang fighting forms, even though he couldn’t do them all without a golden core; he whined to be dragged out of bed and then helped Jiang Cheng train the new recruits every morning, even though not once did he remember their names. He didn’t remember Jiang Cheng’s name, or Jiang Yanli’s, or where they’d grown up or...anything. 

Sometimes he snapped in an instant from Wei Wuxian-typical smiling to something dark and cruel, and utterly heedless of political or other consequences. (So, exactly the same Wei Wuxian, a small, bitter part of Jiang Cheng muttered—no, that was what made it terrible. He so often kept smiling, too, almost the exact same smile.) Usually it was directed at the Wens, but more than one allied cultivator or mundane soldier died in cold blood because they said something rude—not so much to Wei Wuxian himself as to one of the people he “liked.” More to Jiang Yanli and Lan Wangji than Jiang Cheng himself, which was just fine by Jiang Cheng—the less, the better. Nie Mingjue tolerated the losses as part of war, which meant Wei Wuxian stayed, but the only reason LanlingJin didn’t pull out of the Sunshot Campaign entirely was that Jin Zixuan himself insisted he forgave the strangulation incident.

It was inevitable that the enemy tried to take advantage of it.

From the ground it was like this: 

Jiang Cheng was in the thick of battle, wielding Sandu with no room for a whip, but that was fine because he had his disciples (new, all still new) around him to act as his second weapon and more. The Wens weren’t stupid: they came at him several at a time, hoping numbers could overwhelm his skill. He slashed at a red-robed fighter on his left, dodged a blow from his right, and pierced Sandu like a scorpion’s stinger through a man in front of him. Another strike came from the right and as he turned and brought up Sandu to block it, he thought, oh god, it’s contagious.

Because the cultivator was wearing Jiang purple (just an armband, but few of them had more than that), and yet he didn’t recognize her.

Then she tried to take his head off and he just barely parried, on reflex more than anything; the blade bit into his shoulder and he managed a clumsy riposte that bounced off her armguard. At the same time, he realized that he didn’t recognize her because she wasn’t one of his disciples. 

The haunting dizi music that Jiang Cheng had come to accept as natural background to a fight, that couldn’t possibly suffuse all the area of a busy battlefield and yet always did, slid abruptly into a furious shriek. Before his foe could push her advantage, the man he’d just killed flung himself onto her sword, pushing forward up the blade so he could tear at her face, Around them the other Wen dead sprang up as well—as did the fallen of YunmengJiang, an awkwardness they’d all resigned themselves to. Sometimes Wei Wuxian thought to let their own dead lie, but most of the time he didn’t, and most of the time no one minded much—it was desecration, but in the name of fighting the Wen even beyond the very end. 

But this time, they didn’t just attack the Wen. This time, the corpse of Liu Qingbiao, who had run away from her merchant parents to be a rogue and then Jiang cultivator, leapt from behind onto Huang Lao, who had taken up battle with the fighter on Jiang Cheng’s unguarded left. The Wen Huang Lao fought was torn down by one of his dead fellows; behind him, an unknown corpse with a purple armband ripped into another fighter in red. Around then, Wen and Jiang and not-Jiang turned furiously, awash with the dark smoke of resentful energy, on Wen and Jiang and not-Jiang. 

A small corpse guard settled in around Jiang Cheng himself: three Wens, Huang Lao, and another man he didn’t recognize with a bloody purple sash around his waist. 

“Wei Wuxian!” Jiang Cheng bellowed. “What are you—”

He lunged out between two of his unwanted corpse guards to stop a live Wen soldier who would have struck Yu Shanmei, who fought with them because Yu Ziyuan had been her favorite aunt. A moment later, the soldier got back to its feet, black-eyed, and lunged for her again.

“Wei– fuck.” Jiang Cheng flung himself onto Sandu and took to the sky. Toward the ridge overlooking the battle. “STOP IT, YOU IDIOT! YOU’RE KILLING OUR PEOPLE!”

He waved his hands as he shouted, regardless of the dangerous silhouette he was presenting. He didn’t need to worry—one arrow flicked past him and the music changed again; deep and fast as an ocean current and shadows sprang up around him, half-substantial ghosts and tendrils of pure resentful energy. A sudden chorus of cries from the treeline was no doubt suddenly doomed archers.

The shadows only thickened as he approached the ridge, where the Yiling Patriarch stood alone. Wei Wuxian didn’t acknowledge him. His attention remained fixed on the nightmare of a battlefield, his terrible dizi at his lips.

Jiang Cheng landed directly in front of him and yanked the dizi down. “Wei Wuxian, stop!”

There was a moment (there was always a moment) in which he thought Wei Wuxian wouldn’t recognize him. His eyes were as dark as the dead’s and his face showed nothing but implacable cold. By a narrow margin, Jiang Cheng’s heartbreak beat out his awareness that he was likely about to die.

Then Wei Wuxian blinked, some of the darkness receding, at least enough to show the whites of his eyes. He lowered the dizi another inch of his own accord (Jiang Cheng had barely been able to drag it down to shoulder height, even though he was still pulling. Wei Wuxian was weak without his golden core, but the shadows that wreathed him lent him plenty of strength.)

“Are you alright?” he asked, worried like Jiang Cheng had just hit his head on the dock, and nothing worse. He raised one hand to Jiang Cheng’s shoulder. “You’re bleeding.”

Jiang Cheng batted it away. “Stop the corpses!” he shouted. “You’re killing YungmengJiang—” Wei Wuxian remained silent, watched him curiously; names, fuck, names. “The people in purple! You idiot, stop killing them!”

They had so few people to lose. Yu Shanmei was likely already down, unable to perform her best without room to snap a whip. Han Lingya was already recovering from a wound in her arm; Jiang Cheng should never have let him on the field today in the first place. He’d have to write to Liu Qingbiao’s parents, and Huang Lao’s, and Shen Chiwu and Wen Sichen (no relation) and Xi Yanji (they’d get him on the backstroke; he always left himself open—) Jiang Cheng couldn’t look down at them or he’d be lost; he just had to shake his death-eyed, half-gone brother until he stopped—

Wei Wuxian’s hand had come away with some of Jiang Cheng’s blood on it. He licked it off one finger, glancing away like a child who knew he’d done wrong. But when he looked back, his expression was familiarly mulish, save for all the dark and cold.

“They started attacking you. Someone lied to me. I know some of them are our fighters, but I can’t tell which ones, so it’s safer to just kill them all.” 

It was funny because less than a year ago, Jiang Cheng would’ve been quietly ecstatic to be the absolute center of one person’s devotion. Not, admittedly, that he had that dubious honor even now—Wei Wuxian remembered Jiang Yanli better than anyone else, since that terrible night with the sliced wrist, but she was safe at base camp (thank fuck), and even Lan Wangji was with the forces at the other end of the valley.

“I know which ones!” Jiang Cheng snapped (begged). “And so do the ones who are actually Jiang Sect! Just—” they might be equally lost if the corpses stopped completely; they were still wildly outnumbered—“focus on the people in red! A-jie– your shijie would want you to leave the people in purple to sort themselves out!”

Wei Wuxian pouted, with a edge of real disappointment (he only ever seemed truly content anymore when he was slaughtering whole battlefields). “All right.”

He raised his dizi again (Jiang Cheng let go), and after a shuddering moment, Jiang Cheng forced himself to turn around around and watch. There were half as many YunmengJiang cultivators standing as there had been when he’d left, and a quarter as many mundane troops—well, standing and alive. Almost all were upright. It was too far to pick out individuals, but he could tell from the fighting style—he’d been training them all himself for months.

Their dead turned their focus back to the Wen troops in red, as did the Wen corpses themselves, and Jiang Chang let out a breath for what felt like the first time in several minutes. He fought to steady it, to calm his fluttering qi and push it into his shoulder to heal, while beside him, the Yiling Patriarch finished the battle.

It didn’t take long. It had already been hitting the critical point of dead overwhelming the living, before this terrible interlude. Jiang Sect’s fighters knew each other, cultivator and mundane alike; they dealt easily with the few remaining imposters.

As the battle died down (ha), there was a cloth-on-rock scraping to their left. Jiang Cheng turned to see a trio of long-nailed female ghosts—some of Wei Wuxian’s favorites—dragging forward the bloody remains– no, the bloody body of a still-living man. Though from the ghost women’s giggles, he wouldn’t be alive for along. Certainly he must already wish he was dead.

He had a Jiang-purple cloth tied around his left bicep. Jiang Cheng squinted at him, as the ghost women dropped their prize at their master’s feet, and didn’t recognize his face. Ropes of shadow wrapped around the man, cutting more lines of blood into his skin.

Wei Wuxian didn’t stop playing until the last red-robed Wen on the battlefield was dead, his eyes dark and his expression cold. It didn’t change as he left a few notes lingering in the air and looked down at the shadow-bound prisoner. 

He bumped Jiang Cheng’s shoulder with his own like they were kids walking streets of Lotus Pier. “This is the one who came and told me there were reinforcements joining you from the rear, and to clear them a path. The ladies confirm it. Do you know him?”

“No,” said Jiang Cheng, just as cold.

“Well then.” Wei Wuxian nearly sang. The ropes that spread out from his shadow yanked their prisoner to his feet. The man’s mouth was gagged with twisting darkness; his eyes were bleeding but wide with fear. 

Wei Wuxian smiled brightly and tipped the man’s chin up with the end of his dizi. “I can be patient, you know. We can ask him questions before I tear him apart.”

fic tag game

aaahhh @vishcount thank you for tagging me!!! These are so fun and I adored reading about your fic journey~!  ೖ(⑅σ̑ᴗσ̑)ೖ ❤

OH as a note!! For the ppl I tag at the end I don’t expect you to read all of this bc it’s A Lot!!! but I figured you might want to do this game yourself? haha :)

Name: cross-d-a shortened version of my first ever username. unfortunately stuck with it now haha but i’m fond of it :p wish it was cuter tho!!

Posting the rest of this under the cut so it doesn’t eat up people’s dashes!! 

(｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

Fandoms: 

oKAY YIKES there are....honestly too many too name. I’ve got a short and obsessive attention span so it’s either all or nothing with me usually. When I can stay in a fandom for a long period of time it’s a miracle. I’ll name the bigger ones that I’ve all written fic for! Even if I’ve never posted them haha

Right now I’m very firmly into Daomu Biji (dmbj). It feels like it’s both got a crap ton of content and yet barely anything at all haha. Maybe because the English fandom is so small. But at least there are a bunch of dramas and books!!! I really, really, really adore dmbj so much!! And a large part of that is the fandom!!! It's been a really cool and unique experience! Everyone in it is truly so kind and wonderful, and I’ve made some really incredible friends because of it (looking at you vish!! ❤). I’ve got a bunch of wips, but I’ve only posted two fics for dmbj!

Before this I was very into Guardian and mdzs. MDZS was my first foray into cdramas and Guardian’s Zhu Yilong really suckered me into watching more haha I also have fics for both these fandoms!

My very first fandoms were Fullmetal Alchemist, D. Gray-Man and Naruto. My very old ffnet account has fics for these and I’ve got a bunch of newer wips on my tablet. Then Star Trek, Twilight, BBC Merlin, Sherlock, Death Note, Harry Potter, How to Train Your Dragon, Battlestar Galactica, Avatar the Last Airbender and Marvel were a few of my main ones in high school. Plus a bunch of anime (like Fruits Basket! and Kuroshitsuji and Natsume Yuujinchou). 

Then college hit and I renewed my childhood love of Tolkien (mainly lotr and the Hobbit), and Star Wars. I also found Teen Wolf! Then after college it was Stranger Things. 

I find myself in a cycle of mild fondness and complete obsession with these fandoms haha I go back to Star Wars at least once a year!! Then I’m in the gffa hole for a few months. Marvel also reoccurs, depending on how interested I am in new content! Star Trek I always always always go back to. TOS is my comfort show and it will never fade from my heart ❤

But for now I’m stuck in cdrama hell and I love it

Tropes: 

Time travel, found family, whump+hurt/comfort, fairytale-like elements, resurrective immortality (thanks to a “Nine Lives” Hobbit fic), CROSSOVERS

I’m a slut for all these things so they often worm their way into my plots haha

I also just- love weird premises. I think that’s the anime influencing me haha

Fic I spent most time on: 

My series he leaves sand and stardust in my wake (main fic is hurricane on the edge of oblivion), I have...spent five years on now. I have done so much research for this fic it’s insane. 

The premise is force ghost!Obi-Wan getting shunted back into his tiny 10 year old self. I incorporate a shit ton of legends and I try to stay as canon as possible. I basically want this au to feel like it’s 1000% plausible while still getting all my gay shit. It’s chock full of whump, redemption, found family, minor characters turning into major characters, and I’ve got slavery uprising on the mind, too. It’s just- everything I could ever want to explore in the Star Wars universe basically. 

It’s my first big project. I started doodling and scribbling ideas in the margins of my notebook in my Scottish History class. I adore it so so so much. But, because of my hyperfixation and fleeting intense obsession with things it makes it- really difficult to consistently update. I leave it for months at a time and I am constantly guilt-ridden about it. Because it’s my baby and I have a lot of wonderful readers. I fear I’ll never be able to finish it. Especially since I’ve written so much and I’m still only in the beginning of it. ( ; A ; )

Also, I’ve spent so much time with Xanatos, Feemor and Bruck that they just feel like mine now. I can’t read any fics that involve them, it’s too strange. Which is a damn shame because I love them so much haha OH ALSO!! I think it’s the first really big fic to include those three?? So I’m very proud about that haha (I’ve had so many ppl comment about how they actually Give A Shit about these three and are Invested bc of me haha)

Favorite fic(s) you’ve written: 

hurricane on the edge of oblivion (with nowhere to go) (Star Wars)

My long-term passion project. My love-letter to Star Wars, I suppose. Reading it now I feel like a lot of it is clunky or long-winded, but I think it really shows the foundation of my writing today :) Main characters are Obi-Wan, Xanatos Du Crion, Qui-Gon Jinn, Bruck Chun and Feemor. Eventually we’ll get to Maul, Savage, Feral, Shmi Skywalker, (more!) Ahsoka, Anakin and a shit ton of clones ❤

things we hunger for (Guardian)

My Ye Zun self-indulgent fic. It’s a time travel amnesia Weilanzun! Honestly has some of my fav writing I’ve ever done. It’s so soft and really indulges in the hurt/comfort. It gives Ye Zun the friends and family I think he deserves. Also, he gets to grow into a (mostly!) functional person and I adore him.

the beast that slumbers within your soul (mdzs)

Jiang Cheng centric fic!! I feel like all my favourite fics I’ve written are love letters haha. This is one def my love letter to Jiang Cheng. This fic possessed me for two whole days. I wrote 16k in almost one sitting. I went to sleep at 6 in the morning bc I couldn’t stop writing. And when I drifted off I kept thinking of new ideas so I’d whip out my phone and write down lines and notes. I- have never ever ever felt that way about anything. It was- insane. It felt insane. It was so amazing. I’m still riding the memory of that high.

 Basically Jiang Cheng actually finds Baoshan Sanren and it turns out she’s a fox demon and Jiang Cheng is descended from wolves. It’s- okay I said the fic above this had my favourite writing?? That was a lie. This has my favourite writing I’ve ever done. It’s unfinished bc I am in dmbj hell but I am still excited about the next chapter which features Wei Wuxian’s pov!!

the whispers of spirits (dmbj)

My current passion project. In a way it kinda feels similar to hurricane? Bc multiple povs, incorporating different aspects of canon (we’ll get there!! I promise!), shit ton of research, etc. etc. I really really really love it for so many reasons. I’m basically taking all the things I was unsatisfied with in Reboot and Sha Hai and running with it. Found family and whump galore! It’s also a love letter to the women of dmbj who really deserve so so so much better.

Honourable mention to:

One Day (you’ll have given more of yourself than is meant to be taken) (Marvel)

This fic also kinda possessed me. I just- couldn’t get rid of the idea of a trans!Thor. And I mean a mtf Thor! It’s just? So many people look at Thor and go “that’s a Real Man.” Full stop. They never think there could be anything more, and it really really really bothered me. So I wrote out my feelings. I’m not trans. I don’t have that experience at all. I’ve had issues and confusion about my gender but nothing like this. I just wanted to do justice to this idea of Thor in my head. And I still feel a bit nervous having posted it. But I've gotten so many comments from people who really connected with what I’ve written? So I’m very very thankful I wrote it and it has a very special place in my heart. It’s a very cathartic fic.

Fic I spent least time on: 

Probably we rise (Star Wars) and I think it shows haha. I wrote it in response to Dave Filoni posting a drawing of Ahsoka and Gandalf telling her “People thought I was dead, too, and look how that turned out...” So I incorporated Ahsoka (and Din and Grogu and Ezra!!!) into the ending of Rise of Skywalker, kinda explaining how I think they could all still be alive. :)

Longest fic: 

hurricane is my longest fic (159k) but I’m kinda worried whispers will eclipse that.....

Shortest fic: 

Of my posted ones it’s The Five Moments it Took Tony and Scott to Admit They Were Best Friends (and the first time they ever did), currently clocks at 1.6k. It’s unfinished tho so maybe that doesn’t count.... otherwise it’s we rise which is completed and 2k.

Most hits/kudos/comments/bookmarks: 

hurricane overall has the most of all these. Though I don’t think hits counts as much bc it’s multi-chapter. If you discount multi-chapter stuff, most hits goes to my obikin smutfic Homecoming, bc people are horny af haha

Fic you want to rewrite/expand on: 

If I had energy I’d like to rewrite the beginning of hurricane bc it feels so so wordy. I’d want to expand on One Day bc I really would like to write a whole series with trans!Thor. And like- I’d really like the focus to finish any of my WIPs.

Share a bit of a WIP: I really wanna share my Guardian/dmbj crossover that I started back in August. Bc I adore the idea of wu xie&shen wei&ye zun triplets! Plus time travel!!! I dunno if I’ll ever finish it tho ( ; A ; ) It just feels like a lot to deal with right now.

This scene takes place during the Mountain Awl arc. Guardian crew and desperado fam run across each other at the village! Wu Xie has recently found out that he’s adopted and he’s searching for answers in the area Sanshu originally found amnesiac!toddler!Wu Xie in :) Gonna pull two snippets bc I’m v excited and this might be the only time anyone else sees this fic haha:

“Oh?” Pangzi focuses on Yunlan now, lips twisting. “You think I’ve ‘got the wrong guy,’ huh?” He laughs, but it’s not a nice sound. “That’s rich! Are you that cocky or are you just stupid?”

Bristling, Yunlan drops his hands and scowls. “Excuse me?”

“Sir,” Shen Wei tries. “I think—”

Pangzi’s eyes snap back to Shen Wei, sharp and blazing. “How dare you fucking steal his face!”

What?

Automatically, Zhao Yunlan turns to Shen Wei, but the professor looks just as shell-shocked as Zhao Yunlan feels which- is seriously something. Since everything about Shen Wei is so carefully controlled, kept to the minimum. Except for those delightful little smiles that bloom across his lovely face, or the startled little bursts of laughter that fall from his lips. Or even when anger and frustration spark across his features, cracking his calm veneer open enough that he can see a glimmer of what lies beneath, the fire in those eyes. Zhao Yunlan delights in those moments, makes a game of making Shen Wei’s control slip.

He tells himself it’s nothing more than a game. Nothing more than trying to find out what makes Shen Wei tick.

Zhao Yunlan’s always been very bad at lying to himself. Or very good. Depending on who you’re asking.

“What the hell are you talking about?” Yunlan splutters.

But before anyone can say anything else, a very familiar voice calls:

“Pangzi? What’s wrong?”

Yunlan can feel Shen Wei stiffen, and Yunlan himself is pulled to that voice like a planet in orbit, like the inevitable plummet to the ground.

Another shadow wavers in the doorway before it steps out onto the dirt. Light illuminates shaggy hair, limning it gold, sharply casting everything else in shadow. But as the figure nears, the contrast softens until Yunlan can see the newcomer’s face properly and- and—

“Wu Xie!” Pangzi growls. “We’ve got ourselves an impostor!”

The man wearing Shen Wei’s face steps up to them, brows furrowed and mouth pulled down into a sharp frown. He glances between them, eyes landing on Shen Wei. His scowl deepens. He opens his mouth, but then—

“Wu Xie?” Shen Wei breathes, all trembly and lost and hopeless.

Heart in his throat, Yunlan turns to Shen Wei again. Turns and flinches at that stricken look upon Shen Wei’s pale pinched face.

“A-Xie?” Shen Wei chokes. “Didi?”

and

Pangzi snorts. “Professor?”

“I-it’s true!”

Startled Yunlan swings his attention over to Jiajia who clenches her backpack to her chest, face screwed up in admirable determination. “P-professor Shen took me and Xiao Quan on a field trip to investigate an archeological site around here!”

“Oh?” Wu Xie drawls all slow and amused. “Well, what a coincidence. We’re archeologists, too.”

“With guns?” Yunlan bites out.

Wu Xie raises a brow, grin full of teeth. “Well, you can never be too prepared.”

“Right,” Yunlan drawls right back. “Are you a professor, too, then? You come here with your students?”

Wu Xie outright grins. “You could say that, I suppose.”

Out of the corner of his eye, one of the men rolls his eyes. He’s the one with sharp features, glasses and looped earbuds. Does he think it’s appropriate to listen to music at a time like this? Yunlan admires the man’s gall.

[angstymdzsthoughts]

Omg I love your fics so much uuhgghh What happened next to the divorced AU after JC found amnesiac WWX?

Oh! Are you talking about the Wondering God AU that branched off the divorce au? Thats when WWX commits suicide and then gets reborn as a god who wonders around and helps people find their way. LWJ finds him because hes so guilty and lost without WWX. That one was so fun!

“Plot”-wise Jiang Cheng would be devastated to find out Wei Wuxian doesn’t remember him, doesn’t remember anyone, and that he isn’t going to regain those memories. His brother had to cut all ties to the mortal world in order to become a god. Jiang Cheng wants to scream and cry and hit Wei Wuxian because how dare he, but instead he tells them to leave Lotus Pier.

“But you need me,” Wei Ying insists. “Thats why you brought me here right? You are lost.”

“I have a home,” Jiang Cheng spits. “We’re standing in it right now and I’m telling you to leave it.”

“You have an empty box filled with ghosts,” Wei Ying corrects gently. He holds his hand out to Jiang Cheng like a peace offering. “You are lost. Let me help you.”

So Jiang Cheng accepts, because how often do the ghosts of your past actually offer to help instead of continuing to haunt you?

(I swear one day I’ll actually tackle LSZ being in denial about resenting LWJ and him meeting WWX again. Wondering God WWX just has a lot of traumatized people to help and a LWJ who refuses to heal so he can stay by WWXs side for the rest of his life.)

Disabled and medical quirk post

Nie Huaisang has pica (urge to eat things that aren’t food). Mine flares up really high when I smell gasoline, and my brain goes ‘that’s a tasty treat and you should drink it’ but I’ve never given into the urge cause then I would die, but I think that NHS in modern AU would buy really dusty non-scented non-lotioned tissues and just. Eat them. When he’s stressed. Like. It’s a weird urge I know but y’all. Some of my friends smell old dusty books and think it’s great, I smell old dusty books and I’m all ‘if the pages were softer I’d eat it but hard paper gross’ and that’s. That. In canon AU he just. Licks. Books. Sometimes. Too hard, can’t eat that, but it’s tasty lollipop.

Nie Mingjue is that one guy with ‘that old battle scar that got infected and I nearly had to cut it off but magic medicine exists so someone called me an idiot and healed it for me’ that can tell when it’s about to rain. Or, maybe the scar is on his chest, so he can grab his tiddies like the girl from Mean Girls and be all ‘it’s probably raining right now’ and it’s very distracting. All the boys like him :)

Lan Wangji is the eczema problem child. Oatmeal baths as a kid and tons of nasty smelling ointments slathered all over his arms when it’s bedtime and scratching his elbows till they bleed but it feels so good you can’t stop and also that rash LOOKS like a really close gathering of pimples that haven’t reached the surface of the skin yet but it’s actually an eczema rash and that’s just what it looks like and he’s afraid to show anyone his biceps when it first develops because he thought it was some sort of weird arm pimple gathering but. It’s not??? It’s???? A rash??? Hurts to touch but doesn’t itch as much. The pain serves to help keep from itching tho so that’s. A positive, I guess :/

Meng Yao: Oh what that? I don’t know lol sometimes I take surprise naps it’s fine. Oh? I was shaking the whole time? Yeah I guess that explains why all my muscles hurt. Good to know. I’m gonna go take a less surprise nap now. *limps off while everyone makes concerned noises behind him*

Lan Xichen: Pee is stored in the balls.

Wei Wuxian: I don’t like eating bland food. It makes solid stuff come out. What? My stool is supposed to be solid? Lol ew wtf. No I don’t know why it’s coming out a different spot than the pee shut up I just assumed I was bleeding out the backside or something. It’s NOT supposed to be red?? Wait, wait, hold on a second here-

Jiang Cheng be over there like *eats his own hair and bites nails till they bleed* ‘I’m perfectly healthy, nothing can bring me down’. *gets a cold and almost dies*

Lan Sizhui gets long term memory loss whenever he gets sick enough. The memories eventually come back, but for a while there after a flu or a cold, he’s wandering around like an amnesiac and has to be moved back into the Jingshi cause he’s confused and one time thought he was a toddler again. Needs papa’s love and attention. Also the seasickness thing. No boats or he’ll upchuck all over you.

Lan Jingyi gets anxiety about things and it gets so bad he literally makes himself sick. But then when actually confronted with a scary thing he’s all ‘I’m brave!’ And then just sorta screams and runs away or throws something. Brave boy indeed.

Jin Ling gets the stomach flu regularly and it takes medical intervention to stop the puking. Jiang Cheng is now immune to watching someone throw up. Y’all even KNOW how many times he’s rubbed little backs while JL’s body refuses to hold down even water? Yeah. So much. He’s absolute whiny baby the whole time, constantly asking for food and JC can’t deny him just cause he knows it’s coming back up in twenty minutes. Uncle Meng Yao couldn’t handle watching someone puke and he’s a sympathetic puker and so. That’s not. Who he goes to. When tummy hurts.

Jiang Yanli is 100% fine until someone hurts her family and then all the energy goes bye bye and she immediately disassociates from this bullshit. Same girl, same.

Jin Zixuan ate something that did not agree with him and is going to need everyone to vacate the area because his tummy issues are not fit to be around rn. But if anyone asks, he’s fine.

Wen Ning: Listen. Sometimes a body part falls off. Sometimes an old organ escapes the clothing. It happens. I’m sure it’s fine.

Wen Qing is overworked and can y’all stop for like ten minutes plz.

[mxdberries]

smething for reallygrossmdszthots: au where jiang clan takes wen ning's branch instead of the jins. yunmeng need more ppl so all these wens get tortured & retrained into either disciples or servants. low cultivation wen ning gets taken to private chambers to learn to take the sect leader's cock. pretty faces have their uses after all. sweet little wen master barely remembers who he is once he's let out again. wen qing finds her amnesiac bro as jiang wanyin's most favoured archer & bed warmer.

I feel like Jiang Cheng wouldn't torture people if only because he owes a debt to Wen siblings but yeah he'll definitely use them. The adults are too old to be trusted with sect matters, so they end up servants helping around the different parts of the household or working in the local town, the children on the other hand can still be molded. The children would become disciples studying Jiang sect techniques, becoming undyingly loyal to the Jiang clan who saved them from the wrath of the other sects. Wen Qing is given an important position as head healer & teacher. Wen Ning is Jiang Cheng's only personal servant. The Wens are so thankful, for who else would treat war prisoners like this?

What they don't know is the truth behind Wen Ning's position. WN was missing for months under the excuse that he was injured and needed more rest. Reality was Jiang Cheng stole him away as soon as he was recovered, threatens to never let WN leave his "prison" to a helpless WWX & WQ, one still had to pay the price. Wouldn't it be better that her brother could take the burden rather than anyone else?

And JC really was going to torture WN, it just didn't work out like that. For all his anger, JC won't do it. He won't hurt WN but he will turn him someone who's whole world, his very existence revolves around JC. It's what JC needs, someone who won't leave him like his family. So JC treats WN nicely but reminds him he can't leave the room yet nor can anyone but JC come in. It won't go well for him if someone does.

For the most part bed warmer truly means bed warmer, JC hasn't done anything and maybe that's what pulls WN into a false sense of security. WN gets bored in the room and he'll tidy up, polish weapons, fuss with the mending, offering to help with JC's work. Sometimes JC will smile and WN will blush thinking it isn't that bad, JC gifts him nice clothes, good foods, brings a kitten to play with and even lets him out to practice his archery.

For a physician's assistant, WN never notices the strange taste to his food; never notices how docile he's become, how much more agreeable and less nervous, how he asks less and less of his family beyond these four walls. It doesn't seem like a strange leap to want JC to kiss him, touch him like a lover would. And when he finally does, WN whimpers as that little voice screaming in the back of his mind finally goes silent. He just sinks into JC's touch, opening up easily for his cock and moaning for his touch. Wen Ning forgets there was a before & only know Jiang Cheng now and forever.

WQ cries when she finally sees her brother outside for the first time in nearly a year; dressed in his Yunmeng Jiang sect robes, a bow in his hand and a quiver of arrows on his back, trailing after JC with a devoted look on his face paying no mind to his family. She calls to him only for him to turn and give her a confused look, as if he didn't recognize her. WN asks in an unsure tone, "Jie?"

[theoneyouneed]

Hnnnngggg fuck I read three separate fan fictions and I think it would be neat if they were all combined because I’m a slut for drama and angst even tho it never really works out when I write it.

Anyway: wei Wuxian returns in the body of mo xuanyu with amnesia. But this future is different than canon because: wen qing and jiang Cheng were married, thusly saving the Wen refugees from being executed; ie absorbing them into the jiang clan. It’s also different because of course jiang yanli and Jin Zixuan will survive of fucking course is that even a question?

So everybody lives, no body dies... except...

With the Wens protected and wwx dead. The Jins, the Lans and the Nies are the three most powerful clans left. The Jiang clan made itself vulnerable by accepting the Wens, they made themselves an easy target. The marriage between Jiang Yanli and Jin Zixuan is really the only thing holding them together.

That and the Jins said they would back off if the Jiangxi agreed to turn over wwx things. Which they agreed to. Jins wanted it for research for Xue Yang and Mo Xuanyu to figure out how to mend the Stygian tiger amulet. They probably have more people working with them but those are the main characters.

The Nie clan will be the next under the bus, because JGY is pulling the strings and he likes Lan Zichen. and he sees Nie Minjgue as a threat. He’s been asking to many questions about the old Wen land, which he is neighbor to by the mountain range, and why so many Jins have been doing experiments in the area.

Wen Ning, brother of wq who married jc is by association is pretty safe. But not that safe unfortunately... a few years after wwx death he goes missing.

Jgy wants to harness the fierce corpses wwx had. They steal wen ning. They kill song Lan. They try to raise the core melting hand from death. Something goes wrong. It backfired on the other person working with xue yang and mo xuanyu. Mo xuanyu freaks out, he doesn’t want to die like that, this is crazy, he quits he’s out, he doesn’t want to deal with this crazy bullshit anymore. And if they’re not going to let him leave then he’s going to reveal everything they’ve been doing.

JGY stages an accident, and mo xuanyu is dishonorably exiles from the Jin clan, sent to rot in his families shed for the last years of his life.

They kill nie minjgue, with the original Qi deviation plan. And they try to make him a fierce corpse too. But there’s only two left, and neither are willing to sacrifice themselves to do it, they both have their own goals, to valuable in their own minds to pay that price. They decide to go get Mo Xuanyu to do it.

But when they get to him, Mo xuanyu is already gone, and in his place is a very confused and amnesiac wwx, whom they capture and enchant with needles in his head. He can still think, he can sometimes remember. They need answers out of him and they need him to cooperate.

By puppeteering wwx to raise the dead and control the fierce corpses, they’re unstoppable.

Until he’s recused by his tender loving family

Chaos and Control, by buleemozar (5 chapters)

Lan Zhan needs control, he needs structure, and he needs his rules.

Wei Ying needs passion and freedom, and is happy to give it in return to everyone who needs it. Whether that be to their son Wei Yuan or to a-yuan's new teacher, Mr. Lan, who looks like he could use a little chaos in his life.

Mask, by BurningTea

The cultivation world knows that Wei Wuxian is dead. It knows that the Yiling Patriarch has appeared, dangerous and powerful enough for Wen Rouhan to offer an alliance.

And a prize.

The Wen Sect is happy to agree when the Yiling Patriarch demands one of their hostages, Lan Wangji.

Second Summer, by Anonymous (30 chapters)

“So, this is awkward,” says Wei Ying, with a little laugh. It sounds fake. “But I think you have mistaken me for someone else.”

I'll give everything to you and go home, by NoSleepJustRead, Saffron Lotus (Tennchant)

Lan Qiren brings home a child from the streets of Caiyi. This changes a lot.

No Loss, by eb4life

After being forced to remain stuck in his wolf form by Madam Yu, Wei Wuxian conforms to her wishes of making it appear that he's runaway from home by doing just that. When he's God knows how far from home and manages to get captured by the knights of a king he's only heard rumors of, Wei Wuxian expects to be killed or imprisoned as the king's personal attack dog. He doesn't expect to move from "exotic pet" to "closest friend" within only weeks of his stay at the king's side. This story is inspired by Bisclavret.

Why a notebook hidden under my brother's bed?, by Weiwuxiansfluteowner

Lan Xichen had always believed that his brother had a great life.

He was the second in command of connected and firm enterprise, and had a long and happy life ahead of him.

Of course, he knew that his brother did feel lonely, and tried again and again to introduce him to good people, but it seemed like Lan Wangji simply wasn't interested.

So, what was a highschool notebook, that clearly wasn't Wangji's, doing under his brother's bed?!

Aka, the one where Lan Zhan and Wei Ying go to the same highschool but loose contact when Wei Ying is disowned by the Jiangs. So, Lan Zhan keeps his notebook, and maybe also his feelings for him.

Blood Harmony, by Christinapere, Director_XuanWu, Lia_Rose

"Yunmeng Jiang accepts this alliance, with a condition that this marriage is an equal marriage, as it is between two sought youths, the Second Heir of Gusu Lan Sect and the Head Disciple of Yunmeng Jiang Sect.

Both will *not* marry into the other sect.

Instead, they both will be members of both sects," Sect Leader Jiang confirms.

Is the distrust among sects is at stake that they are willing to sacrifice him and Wei Ying to soothe it?

Blood of the Black Earth, by wirevix

By the time Jiang Cheng and his small rescue party managed to clear away the rubble at the cave's collapsed entrance, it was too late.

Earning Trust, by wolfsharingan15

Wei Wuxian wakes up after the Wens have surrendered. With no one left Wei Wuxian breaks and locks himself away in the Burial Mounds as a punishment in hopes that he will die there and make everyone happy.

Well...things don't go that way exactly. After an abysmal failure to capture the Burial Mounds, Lan Xichen and Jiang Cheng come to Wei Wuxian for help. Wei Wuxian has lost all faith and trust in the sects, but he helps because Lan Zhan is missing.

Jin Ling had three things to his name: his title, his relationships with other sects, and a pride in his heritage. So when a curse thrusts Jin Ling to the past with only his wits, Jin Ling holds on to the hope that his friends and family will find him.

However, every curse has a catch. As Jin Ling explores a past where legends have yet to be made, the present struggles to make sense of remembering what they have lost.

What has long been concealed, by Gaby007

The Burial Mounds change everything falling in their grasp, Wei Wuxian is well-placed to know it. Lan Wangji is rather nonplussed when he learns his beloved's secret yet seizes the opportunity to finally bring the Yiling Patriarch to Gusu and keep him safe.

Now, he just has to keep Wei Ying hidden from the cultivation world, and maybe he will get to learn some secrets of the Lan sect as he does.

Here With Me, by iamwish

Wen Qing finds him on the roof of where he’s been staying, nursing a jar of Sishu’s wine.

“Wei Wuxian! What are you doing up there?”

Wei Wuxian hasn’t had nearly enough wine to get tipsy, let alone drunk enough for his words to slur, but he slurs them anyway for nostalgia. “What if Lan Zhan doesn’t fall in love with me?”

-

Wei Wuxian finds himself in the past, a few months before the Gusu Lan lectures, and decides that his best shot at hiding his trauma fixing the future is faking his own kidnapping and asking Wen Qing who all he needs to kill before she or someone she trusts is in charge of QishanWen. Clearly, he thought this through.

Or: Wei Wuxian creates a No War!AU, and then he has to live in it.

Lan Qiren was quite pleased with the fact that he had expelled Wei Wuxian from the Cloud Recesses. Until he actually found out Wei Wuxian was carrying his first grandbaby.

Pocketful of Soul, by Jenrose

“It’s a kid?” Wei Wuxian says to Wen Qing. “What’s a kid doing dabbling with the ghostly path? Talking to my ghosts?” He sounds indignant.

“Perhaps you should ask him,” Wen Qing says dryly.

“Kid, why are you using demonic cultivation?” Wei Wuxian asks.

“It works better when you want to work with spirits, rather than fight them,” Mo Xuanyu says. “And I’m not using demonic cultivation, I merely greeted your spirit and told him I was a friend and needed to talk to you. Well, something to that effect. Intention matters more than intonation with this stuff.”

“Who taught you that?” Wei Wuxian asks, his voice shifting from indignation to intrigue.

“You did,” Mo Xuanyu says. “Or well, your notes did, hmmm… five or six years from now.”

Wei Wuxian wags a scolding finger at him and says, “You should be developing your golden core, not dabbling around with things you don’t under—Did you say five years from now? As in, in the future?”

With his baby 8 month old in his stomach, will Wei Wuxian manage to go back with the Juniors to their own timeline, or he need to stay there and create a No war Au so everyone can finally be happy.

For the wandering god AU, what does JC, LS and the others feel when they see LWJ trailing after the amnesiac god WWX?

Jiang Cheng drags Wei Wuxian all the way to Lotus Pier once he’s (for the most part) over his shock at seeing the man again. He doesn’t care how Wei Wuxian is back or how he has his original body again, that stuff isn’t important. What is important is bringing him back home and not letting the fool die for a third time. 

It doesn’t take long for him to realize that something isn’t quite right about Wei Wuxian. He doesn’t recognize Jiang Cheng and reacts to Lotus Pier like he’s never seen it before. Thats fine. Jiang Cheng remembers him mentioning that his memories were blurry after he was resurrected, he’s sure that those memories will come back and everything will be alright.

But then Lan Wangji arrives and informs Jiang Cheng that everything will not be alright because he had been traveling with Wei Wuxian for almost a month - and how fucking dare this man have the nerve to keep Jiang Cheng’s brother away from him! - and Wei Wuxian has shown no recognition or remembrance of him.

“Well maybe he doesn’t want to remember you,” Jiang Cheng spat. “You only broke his heart and betrayed his trust!”

“If that is the case,” Lan Wangji replied smoothly. “then Wei Ying would not wish to remember you either.”

LSZs part isn't working with me so he can be added later.
