Ack! @windwardstar i was trying to redo the text on the ask and deleted it 🥴🥴 but ANYWAY

It issss the same fic! 😁😁😁😁 it makes me so happy you remembered!! 💕 and it has not been forgotten… it’s just, you see, I was walking along and was violent shoved down the rabbit hole that is RWRB(Red White and Royal Blue, yes I recommend if you haven’t seen/read lol) and I’m currently still falling 😀

BUT since you already know the premise of this fic I’ll give you a lil sneak peak :)

16. practical cultivation

Lan Wangji will never fall in love.

“You are young, Wangji,” Lan Xichen says softly, giving his younger brother a smile. “How can you say you will never fall in love?”

“I won’t,” Lan Wangji insists, fists clenched at his sides and a stern look crossing his face.

“No one can say with certain what the future holds-”

“I can,” Lan Wangji snaps; he regains himself, takes a calming breath, lets his eyes fall shut. “One may not be able to predict the future, but they can choose to not allow themselves to make such a foolish decision.”

Lan Xichen's eyes turn sad, he opens his mouth, Lan Wangji expects to say ‘Love is not foolish’, so he is already tightening his clenched fists more; until his nails are digging into his palms. However, Lan Xichen just lets out a sigh, another — smaller, more unhappy — smile, and departs.

———

A group of students are carrying on a conversation about what they will do when they grow up.

Be a strong, and fearless cultivator. Be a physician and find cures for all the horrible illnesses in the world. One student’s answer stirs up laughter among the others: Fall in love with the person of my dreams, and be a loving, devoted husband and someday father. The other students tease and mock him for his answer, but he seems unfazed by their remarks.

Lan Wangji tries to not eavesdrop — eavesdropping is forbidden — but they are talking so loud. “Lan- er- gonzi what do you think?” One of the students asks, and only then does Lan Wangj realize how obvious his eavesdropping has been. “Are you going to be a loving husband someday as well?” There’s muffled laughter throughout the room.

His fists clench so tightly the writing brush in his hand snaps. The room falls silent; all the students stare at Lan Wangji. He closes his eyes, taking deep grounding breaths as he gets up to exit the room. “Boring,” he mutters as he goes. Once he’s out of the room he hears the others erupt into laughter.

“Boring.” One boy mocks.

“No one could be as boring as Lan - er - gongzi.” Says another student.

“He will only marry if they arrange it. I feel sorry for whoever is forced to marry him.”

Lan Wangji feels heat fill his face. He is moving without thinking, quickly towards anywhere other than their mocking laughter.

“Wangji…” Lan Qiren calls out to him as he storms past his uncle; who is surely heading toward the class he supposed to be in. Lan Wangji has half a mind to keep walking, feeling like he needs fresh air to calm himself fully; he’s not even sure why he’s so upset in the first place.

He doesn’t keep going though, and stops in his tracks, before turning to bow to his uncle. Being disrespectful to the elders is forbidden and Lan Wangji knows he should also respond.

I hope I used the titles correctly! 😮‍💨 but ye! Hope you liked it! 😁😁

WIP Game

Okay, so the lovely @farawayanddreaming tagged me for this WIP Game…earlier this week? I hope it’s only been that long… Oh well. So. This could prove to be a little bit interesting as I don’t actually title much until it’s finished. Most of the files in my WIP folder are “titled” with the first line of the work which may or may not be the current first line. Aaaaaand, I have a LOT of WIPs. Are we ready for this??

RULES: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! and then tag as many people as you have WIPs.

Wei Ying stumbled up the steps of the pavilion just as the visiting students…

Jiang Cheng had not struck him a blow, not physically at least, though Lan Zhan…

You Are and I Love You As You Are

Take My Pieces, Make Me Whole

Ghostlight and Memory

Sins We Shall Not Speak Of

“Lan-er-gonzi?”

Nearly two years had passed since Wei Ying’s resurrection into the world, and…

“Professor Lan, we appreciate you taking on this additional class for the semester…”

Wei Ying flopped back on the warm roof tiles with a satisfied sigh…

Gank This Bat! WangXian Style.

“You said ‘always’—when did that start?”

“Xiao Wei!”

“Kunlun…where did you come from?”

Shen Wei didn’t have any scars. Not visible ones anyway.

Wu Xie woke trembling and gasping on the cusp of a hacking cough before he remembered…

Wu Xie blinked blood from his eyes and frantically smeared it away from his…

“Xiaoge! You’re back!”

It was raining. Again.

He took one last look around the room before he yanked the zipper on his bag…

Told you. I really wasn’t kidding. I work on a lot of stuff. At the same time. And since I know absolutely no one on Tumblr save the person who tagged me in this to begin with I shall instead tag some of my favorite writers on AO3 and we’ll see what happens: @canary3d-obsessed @majorenglishesquire @laireshi @jockvillagersonly @robotmango

#WIP game #maybe a bit over the top?#I did warn you…#thank you 💖

Its a modern au where wwx is a farmer and (I think) a youtuber (sort of like li ziqi) and lxc and nmj show lwj his videos and he immediately falls in love and decides to visit.

~*~

9. Looking for a story where the Wens and wwx wind up in CR. To further protect them, a marriage is proposed between wwx and lwj. Lwj protests, bc wwx is being forced into this and that's never what lwj wants. He asks to speak w wwx first, to explain. Only the talk goes badly. Wwx totally gets the wrong impression. They still get married, but neither thinks the other wants it. They're living apart in the beginning, but wwx starts spending time in the Jingshi and eventually moves in. Lwj is trying to be good, but they start sleeping in the same bed. One day, lwj thinks he's dreaming of kissing wwx, but they're actually kissing. Lwj straight up panics and tries to flee, thinking he forced himself on wwx, but he doesn't quite make it. Wwx manages to calm him down, lwj didn't force the kiss (wwx initiated the kiss) and in the process they both realize they love each other. @whisperprime

FOUND! The Vermillion Ribbon by Unforth (E, 223k, wangxian, wen!wwx)

~*~

10. Honestly, Idk how to use this. But im swallowing my pride asking for help in finding a fic. Its about wwx and lqr, where they play a board game then wwx apologized to lqr for being a terrible student then. Its because wwx has a student who is as disruptive as he was. They talk, lqr telling him about regretting sending his perfect nephew to a troublemaker then fall in love. He realizes the parallel was his adopted son, not lsz and his student. Pls forgive my insolence and broken english [You’re doing a wonderful job, no worries!]

11. Hi i was wondering if you could help me find a fic. It’s a modern AU where wwx wakes up with no memory and doesn’t remember divorcing lwj. lxc and jiang cheng were married and keeping it a secret from wwx. i think wwx had an extreme sports show or something. thanks!

13. Hi! Was looking for a modern AU where Sizhui is adopted by LWJ and WWX as a teenager? It had some things about them as teens first and two timelines. Thanks for your work!

~*~

14. Hello, I was hoping you could help me find a fic. I don't remember much of it, only that wwx was having some suicidal ideation. Like he was sitting or standing at a cliff's edge. I think lsz stops him and lwj stops him as well. It was post canon and they're already together.

~*~

15. Hi mods thank you so much for running this blog! Could you help me find a time travel fic (it may have been deleted? I fear) of lwj and nhs traveling back in time to when yllz was still alive and not-so-secretly helping him? They became friends from exchanging nsfw books somehow lmao. I remember lwj wore this hat disguise and ayuan called him "hat gege." Wwx finds out who he is eventually and also writes his own cultivation manuel which becomes pretty popular. I really appreciate your help! <33

According to @mikkeneko this one has been deleted :( which is a shame, I remember liking it ~Mod L

Not to be sobered by anything(like regret) by astrobandit (deleted)

16. Thank you so much for all the lovely fics you find!!! Do you remember one where Lan Zhan gets cursed by merchants trying to take over the salt trade(i think) in Guzu- Wei Ying finds him through a blood link and has to unmake the merchants to save Lan Zhan. Appreciate any help you might give!

17. Hi, I'm looking for a fic that I read probably three years ago?? And I just remember that LSZ is still a kid prob 5-6yo, and WWX is in a coma state, he got injured(?) by accidentally burning his and Wen's apartment. His unconscious soul (ghost) keeps LSZ company and helps him remember his childhood with WWX. And LSZ got adopted by LWJ, and keep saying that he got a ghost friend that is his bunny plush toy (I guess?) teaching him some mandarin words with a song (Xiao Tuzi Guai Guai). Can you please find it? Thank you🙏🏻

FOUND! Good Little Rabbit, Open The Door by ElopeToTheSea (G, 33k, wangxian, modern, fluff and angst)

~*~

18. Two asks for you! (18a) One is a hot fic where Wei Wuxian is a fox, first one he gets the old ‘stuck in a wall’ trope, (18b) second one he sneaks in to try and blow Lan Wangji. The second one ends with Lan Wangji declaring that the jade seal marked WW as his pet, & he’d helpfully collared himself already. The second ask is not nearly so easily found I’m afraid. All I really remember is LW idly asking about watching WW ride a dildo, and WW trying to play it cool but blurting put “will you tell me what to do?

18a)

FOUND! naïve little fox by celerydragon (not rated, 4k, wangxian, fox wwx, dragon lwj)

18b)

FOUND! An Education in Biting off More Than You Can Chew by celerydragon (E, 4k, wangxian, non-con somnophilia) sequel to 18a

~*~

19. Each chapter was a different au. There was one where wwx was in the nie sect and found a way to counteract the nie saber problem. Another is where when wwx died he rejected a part of himself and that part became another entity and wwx was fragmented and lost his memories and at the end when he accepted back the parts of himself that he rejected, he became a god. there was one where he made a ritual to help people pass on and grew flowers for that purpose. @alwaystiredinsomniac

FOUND? ❤️ Death of a Ghost by gotcocomilk (E, 107k, wangxian, Mojo’s post) the second description matches a complete fic

~*~

20. I'm looking for a fic where the Juniors decide to break Wei Wuxian's record for how many rules he's broken. At the start, they scare Wei Wuxian by waking him up with Fairy (because of Jin Ling), and they release Little Apple to ransack Jiang Cheng's room (because of Lan Sizhui), who is visiting soon. They get caught by Wei Wuxian in their last rule breaking stunt, who figures out what they did this morning.

FOUND! a game of dares by t_why (Not rated, 7k, fluff, humor)

You know what would be interesting?

JC never lost his golden Core.

And Wei Wuxian did not lose his.

But he still gets dropped into the Burial Mounds. And like I dunno how, but he comes out of there having mastered the new form of cultivation.

Jiang Cheng acts like a dick that's par for cannon. And this Wei Wuxian who has survived the burial Mounds with his golden core intact has no time for his drama.

He definitely confesses to Lan Wangji o ce he is out of the burial mounds.

Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji in the Sunshot campain would be brilliant. Cultivating and * *wink wink nudge nudge* * dual cultivating.

JC is seething with jelousy. He has everything. The gentry name, the money and sect leadership but the whole world is only speaking about Wei Wuxian and his like awesome cultivation. Both the sword style and with his flute.

Wen Qing and Wen Ning- Wen Ning convinces his sister to join the war. Wen Ning wants to be on Wei Wuxian's side.

What would JC throw a tantrum over if he doesn't have anything to throw a tantrum over??

Like for example he blames Wei Wuxian for Lotus Pier burning. Obviously it's not his mistake. But one day he is yelling at Wei Wuxian about it and sect leader someone maybe XiChen, maybe Sect leader Nie. Whoever. Comes and like defends Wei Wuxian.

What would he do then faced with the facts? Cling all the more to his warped world view? Or apologize?

It will be interesting to see.

You don't have to take this prompt if it's too messy or whatever. I love you and your writing.

Also, thank you for choosing to write my previous prompt.

XOXO.

(this is a little similar to trapped and patient but also quite different. Hope you like it! The format is a bit different because this is a lot of time to cover in a short prompt)

When he stumbles out of the Burial Mounds, Wei Wuxian is stunned. He can't believe he made it, that he was able to survive it, without his sword.

Wei Wuxian walks forward shakily, one unsteady step at a time, putting distance between him and that wretched place.

He feels weak, drained, devastated in small ways.

But he is free.

---

Yiling offers shelter in unexpected ways. He's able to hide in a temple to recover. His condition is wretched enough that he's mistaken for a beggar. A few people take pity on him and offer fruits and buns.

It takes him a week.

That's all it takes for him to recover.

Wei Wuxian washes all traces of Burial Mounds off him, soaks in icy river water for hours on end until he feels purified and reforged.

Now, he's ready for revenge.

---

Wei Wuxian has only tried his cultivation method on the dead. He has used it to repel the fierce corpses, fierce ghosts, and spirits soaked in resentment.

When he tests the method on the Wens, it proves to be even more effective. They scramble like mindless beasts, driven by fear and confusion. The sounds of his Dizi pierce the air and induce madness.

He watches from a distance, indifferent as the Wens turn on each other, swinging their swords, shouting at phantoms, all sense and intellect gone.

He turns away.

---

Jiang Cheng's arms wrap around him and the fog around his mind starts to slowly recede. He stands stiffly, blinking a little before looking beyond his martial brother.

Lan Zhan is there, staring at him with wide eyes. There's so much open concern on his usually stoic face that Wei Wuxian wants to turn away.

"Wei Ying,"

It is only then, under the power of that golden gaze, that his fugue state dissipates. He sees Lan Zhan step forward, almost reaching out only to pull back at the last moment.

Jiang Cheng pushes him away and punches his shoulder, "Where have you been? How dare you abandon us and just frolic off somewhere?"

Wei Wuxian swalllows with difficulty and answers their questions with his habitual dismissive charm.

But that honest expression of open concern on Lan Zhan's beautiful face doesn't leave.

He meets those golden eyes and feels something shift within him.

Shaking his head, he dismisses the feeling. There's no time for sentimental reunions. He turns his attention towards Wen Chao, unsheathes his sword, and kills him in one clean strike.

There. Done.

---

The war is already in full swing by the time he joins it. His martial brother and Lan Zhan are quick to take him to Qinghe, not even letting him ride his own sword.

"Wei-gongzi, I'm happy to see you safe," Lan Xichen greets, running a discreet eye over him. The older Lan brother's concern is well hidden but Wei Wuxian senses it nevertheless.

The man looks like he's just about ready to banish him to the healing halls.

He opens his mouth to reassure Lan Xichen but Nie Mingjue intervenes, slapping his back solidly, "I hear you're responsible for the devastation at Yiling. Good work!"

Wei Wuxian smiles brightly, hoping to banish that increasingly familiar look from Lan Zhan's face. "Thank you, Nie-zongzhu." He smiles up at the man, "I can give you a full report of what happened if you wish it."

The Chifeng-zun's expression shifts into one of approval and he nods, "I do wish it."

"I would like to know as well, if you don't mind," Lan Xichen says and Nie Mingjue nods before he glances at Lan Zhan.

He chuckles, "Lan er-gonzi can join us as well."

---

Wei Wuxian doesn't realize he's been spending more time with the Lan brothers and Nie Mingjue until Jiang Cheng angrily points it out.

"You're too good for us, are you?" He demands, "Abandoning us in favor of your new friends! Even in the battlefield, you and Lan Wangji are inseparable! Have some shame! How dare you abandon your responsibilities and mess around with that man?"

"a-Cheng," Shijie reprimands gently but her voice is weak.

"Aiya, Jiang Cheng, who keeps track of such things amidst a war? They're all our allies. It's not like I have abandoned everyone." He still trains with the Jiang disciples and leads them in battle after all.

"Wei Wuxian!"

"Jiang Cheng," His voice makes his irritation clear, "Is this really the right time to worry about such trivial matters? Who cares about appearances during war? Are were not all one when on the battlefield?" He asks, narrowing his eyes on the furious Jiang, "We don't know whether we'll live or die when we ride out and you're concerned about who fights alongside me? Just who are you speaking of?"

"Who I am speaking of?" Jiang Cheng snaps in return, "Your obsession with that man is unseemly and reflects poorly on the sect! You know it and yet you carry on shamelessly-"

"My obsession?" He demands, "Just what are you trying to imply, Jiang Cheng? You're going to be a brat just because Lan Zhan happens to be the only one able to keep up with me?" It is no secret that his three month stint sharpened his cultivation in ways people find hard to fathom. He didn’t just develop a new cultivation method, he grew. Surviving the Burial Mounds is a feet beyond the skill and endurance of most cultivators.

Wei Wuxian has earned his already formidable reputation.

Jiang Cheng reels back at the reminder, his face twisting with rage.

Never let it be said that Wei Wuxian takes things lying down. He has spent a lifetime appeasing Jiang Cheng and dealing with his insecurities.

He no longer has the patience.

---

He reaches out instinctively, pulling Lan Zhan out of a blade's path, spinning around to block the strike with his bare arm.

His thick leather brace manages to minimize the damage and he doesn't lose his arm but it is a near thing.

With a hiss, he crowds against Lan Zhan and brings Suibian down in a sharp slash, cutting the Wen before him from left shoulder to right hip.

"Reckless." Lan Zhan says later as he carefully stitches the cut.

"I couldn't let you get hurt." Wei Wuxian says softly, peering down at the kneeling figure before him. He has seen Lan Zhan in various states of indignity, covered in blood, robes soaked in the disgusting sludge of a war-torn field.

Nothing diminishes his beauty.

Wei Wuxian's heart races, his head spinning as he smells the scent of sandalwood. He swallows as Lan Zhan shifts closer, carefully snipping the excess thread and studying his neat stitches.

This close, he feels overwhelmed and realization dawns.

"I love you," He breathes, stunned.

He loves Lan Zhan. The knowledge strikes him now, suddenly, without warning. "How did I not know?" Wei Wuxian feels strangely dazed. How could he not know? It is so obvious to him, his constant need for Lan Zhan's attention, "I hate it when you ignore me." The feeling of those snapping golden eyes on him when he finally manages to gain Lan Zhan's attention, "It's thrilling when you don't."

He has never met anyone more beautiful, "I find you better looking than any maiden." Lan Zhan's proximity now makes him feel-, "Breathless," He says, "When I'm close to you I feel- how did I miss-"

Lan Zhan grip is like vice around his wrist.

Wei Wuxian stops, going pale as he realizes how brazenly he had just confessed love to a man. If Jiang Cheng were here, he'd definitely gut him with Sandu, "Lan Zhan, I-"

Lan Zhan surges forward, eyes blazing and expression dark.

Warm lips slide over his and his mind goes silent.

He doesn't think a single thought that night.

---

War doesn't wait for anyone and Wei Wuxian doesn't say anything in protest when Lan Zhan pulls away from him. He watches with heavy eyes as Lan Zhan shrugs on his discarded outer robes and glances at him.

"Is your body alright?" He asks and Wei Wuxian feels a blush crawl up his neck.

“No! Of course it isn’t,“ He complains even though his body is buzzing with lingering pleasure. He pouts up at Lan Zhan, who studies him with careful golden eyes, “Really, going on and on, taking your pleasure without any care for my virgin body.“ Lan Zhan’s ears are delightfully red, “Who knew er-gege could be so bold?“

“Wei Ying,“ Lan Zhan’s expression is flat but his voice carries a hint of a waver. Wei Wuxian just grins in response, “Be serious.“

In all honesty, his body is already back to its regular state of being. His Golden Core is still spinning furiously and the lingering energy from Dual Cultivation has healed any aches and pains he might have.

“Fine,“ He says in a petulant tune, inwardly delighted that Lan Zhan is now his, “But er-gege must kiss me to make me feel better.”

Lan Zhan doesn’t hesitate, leaning over him and gently tipping his chin up for the demanded kiss.

Wei Wuxian sighs, sinking into it as a curtain of silken black hair forms a private cocoon around him.

---

The war ends but Wei Wuxian’s problems don’t end with it. Three issues stand before him; helping the Wen remnants, helping rebuild YunmengJiang, and figuring out how to marry Lan Zhan.

One obstacle stands in the way of two of these three goals. Jiang Cheng absolutely refuses to lift a finger to help the Wen remnants, even though Wen Qing’s assistance helped them win the war. Jin Guangyao may have killed Wen Ruohan but Wen Qing prevented thousands of casualties.

Wen Ning was also responsible for rescuing Jiang Cheng from the Wen capture before he lost his Golden Core. It was fortunate that Wen Zhuliu had been called to visit Wen Ruohan and Wen Chao had to wait to enact that punishment.

Wen Ning and Wei Wuxian managed to steal Jiang Cheng away just hours before Wen Zhuliu returned.

And yet, Jiang Cheng chooses to side with the Jins on the matter instead of listening to Lan Xichen or Nie Mingjue. Wei Wuxian knows it is partly because their sister is marrying into the Jin clan and they can’t afford to make things difficult for her, but still.

Jin Zixuan will obviously protect shijie. There’s no need to be so cautious, especially if three out of four sects oppose imposing any sort of punishment on innocent people.

On a personal front, Jiang Cheng’s disapproval of his relationship with Lan Zhan is blatant.

Jiang Cheng can’t really stop Wei Wuxian from marrying whoever he wishes. He doens’t need the sect leader’s permission as he’s not really the member of the family. But his shidi is making things difficult with his sneering disapproval and contemptuous comments in public.

He has already alienated Lan Xichen completely by calling Lan Zhan’s honor in question (boy did he earn the punch Wei Wuxian had leveled at him - sect leader or no). Nie Mingjue will never side with some upstart over Lan Xichen.

Lan Zhan himself doesn’t care. He has never liked Jiang Cheng and he never will. He only retaliates when Jiang Cheng tries to attack Wei Wuxian.

His protective er-gege as no tolerance for anyone trying to harm him.

Which is what, ultimately, breaks Wei Wuxian’s ties with YunmengJiang.

The confrontation is embarrassingly public. He doesn’t mind Lan Xichen or Nie Mingjue being present but feels upset about Jin Guangshan and Jin Guangyao being there as well.

“Twin Prides of Yungmeng, isn’t that what you promised me?“ Jiang Cheng demands, “Where will your pride be if you break all of your promises and get into...” He waves his hand at Lan Zhan in disgust, “Is this how you intend to repay us? My father raised you to be the Head Disciple of the Jiang Sect and you would rather be some sort of deviant?“

“Jiang Cheng-“

“And you would side with the Wen dogs too! Was this always your intention? Did you always want to bring down my sect and support its enemies?”

“The Wen remnants have helped us. They’re not our enemies.“

“They’re not our enemies now,“ Jin Guanyao interjects calmly, his voice soothing and patient, “But surely you see that it may not remain so? We cannot risk another war.”

“They’re barely a few hundred people and we have already taken most of their resources. They’ll live as poor peasants. How can they be a threat to us?“ Wei Wuxian asks.

“You’re indeed naïve, Wei-gongzi,“ Jin Guangshan says in a gentle, placating tone, “Perhaps your fondness for Wen-guniang is making you turn a blind eye. Beautiful women have a tendency to do that.“ He chuckles indulgently.

The sly implication in his tone isn’t lost on anyone. Lan Zhan’s expression turns frosty and Wei Wuxian feels a surge of fury strong enough to make his blood boil. There are so many things wrong with that statement that Wei Wuxian, for once, is rendered speechless.

“You question the honor of Wei Wuxian of all people?“ Nie Mingjue demands, taking a step forward, “I have stayed silent because Jiang Sect business isn’t my business but I will not have you slander and belittle a proven warrior in my presence!“

“Indeed,“ Lan Xichen says calmly but there’s no mistaking the sharp look in his eyes. Lan Xichen rarely reacts to provocations or interferes in sect matters that don’t concern him. But he’s not going to let anyone upset his younger brother carelessly, “The matter of the Wens is easy to resolve. Let us give them a small piece of land, let them set up a village, and forbid cultivation among them.“

“Er-ge,“ Jin Guangyao begins but Lan Zhan is out of patience.

He steps back and bows to all assembled before placing a hand on Wei Wuxian’s back, “Wei Ying will choose his own path. Wens will remain free. Wei Ying and I will marry.“ He meets Jiang Cheng’s furious gaze, “Jiang-zongzhu must decide whether his brother’s happiness matters to him.“

Wei Wuxian winces.

“My brother’s happiness?“ Jiang Cheng demands, “All everyone has ever cared about is his happiness! What about me? What about our Sect? A sect he nearly destroyed because of his loyalty towards you.“ Jiang Cheng looks at him, “Did you forget my mother? My father? How do you intend to repay the enormous debt you carry, Wei Wuxian?“

Wei Wuxian stares back at him, “What is my repayment, Jiang Cheng?” He asks softly, “What will it take for you to consider that debt repaid?” It has been over five years since the fall of Lotus Pier. Wei Wuxian has bled and slogged through war to restore that place to its former glory. He has kept Jiang Cheng safe, helped renegotiate shijie’s marriage, and used his name to draw skilled cultivators to YungmengJiang.

What more can he give?

“Loyalty.“ He stills, “You devote your life to YungmengJiang and nothing else.“

Lan Xichen makes a faint, alarmed noise while Nie Mingjue huffs in disapproval.

Wei Wuxian takes a deep breath, feeling Lan Zhan’s fingers flex on his back. He levels a flat look at Jiang Cheng and thinks on the matter of debts. He thinks about Madam Yu’s refusal to bend, of Jiang-zongzhu’s passivity and lack of planning. He thinks about the Wen’s unprovoked attack on Cloud Recesses and the inevitability of war.

He thinks of his Lan Zhan and shijie’s Jin Zixuan, without swords and facing an armed group of Wens under Wen Chao’s orders.

He thinks of love. Of what it means to be truly, unconditionally loved.

No sorrys and no thank yous. No debt owed for simply being a part of someone’s life.

He thinks of acceptance that comes with an older brother’s amused smile. He thinks of an uncle’s gruff admonishment to behave followed by a stiff reminder to eat, you’re skin and bones already.

He takes a deep breath and decides.

“No.“

ik the reason the english subtitles change so many of the names/titles to pronouns is probably the third person issue and it would sound weird in english but god you miss so much nuance that way. ugh.

#which name or title a character chooses to use for another in any particular moment makes SUCH A DIFFERENCE #it can change the entire tone of the dialogue!!#yes im still thinking abt wwx calling lwj lan er-gonzi that one time and it being translated as just 'you'#a travesty #rambling #mdzs

I'm fond of time travel aus, especially yours, so what if just LWJ travelled back to the gusu lectures, either during the 13/16 years or after all the events of canon.

Lan Wangji walked slowly towards the room where his uncle’s lectures were held. He had no reason to drag his feet – this was a chance to change the past for the better, to stop so many terrible things from happening – and yet, he couldn’t resist going even more slowly than usual.

He was a little worried. So much rested on his shoulders.

What would be the right place to make the first change?

“Enjoy the lecture, Wangji,” his brother said as he passed him, returning from his own morning chores.

“Mm,” Lan Wangji said noncommittally.

“Wait,” Lan Xichen said, stopping and turning to look at him. “Hold on. What happened?”

Lan Wangji hesitated.

“Something big?”

“It isn’t –”

“How bad?” Lan Xichen’s eyes went wide. “That bad? How many people died?”

Lan Wangji winced – the answer was, of course, a very great deal, but that was all in the future and hadn’t happened yet – but Lan Xichen read the answer off of him at once.

“That many deaths couldn’t have happened without me knowing,” Lan Xichen said, clearly thinking it through. “And you were fine yesterday. Was it a dream? No, you wouldn’t panic over a dream. Did something happen at night –”

“I’ve returned from the future to change the past,” Lan Wangji blurted out. He couldn’t help it. He’d never been a good liar, and it’d been such a long time since he’d seen his brother so energic over anything…

“Oh,” Lan Xichen said, and visibly relaxed. “Okay. That’s fine. As long as you’re all right, and nobody’s died yet. Let me help?”

When he put it that way – how could Lan Wangji say no?

“Wangji?” his uncle called as he entered the hanshi. It was a little early for lectures to be finished – it must have been one of the shorter days, perhaps.

“In here, with me,” Lan Xichen called.

Lan Qiren entered, a worried furrow in his brow. “You missed the lecture. I was concerned.”

Lan Wangji bowed his head. He’d gotten so caught up with talking with his brother that he had forgotten – it was strange, to still have responsibilities that meant going places he was told to go, doing what he was told to do. It’d been years since he had been the one attending classes, rather than teaching them.

And Lan Xichen had acted so naturally about it all that he’d just forgotten. And in forgetting, he’d worried his uncle, which he hadn’t meant to do – his uncle had always meant well, even when they disagreed. He hadn’t allowed his affection for Lan Wangji to stop him from doing what he believed to be the right thing, such as in the battle against Wei Wuxian, but in every other instant he was often Lan Wangji’s staunchest ally within the sect.

It’d been his forceful arguments that had convinced the rest of the sect to allow a formal marriage between Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian, when Lan Wangji had been certain that the most he would ever get was a quiet understanding and being left alone.

“Wangji’s returned from the future,” Lan Xichen announced. “He’s nearly as old as you are, and married.”

“Married?” Lan Qiren asked. “To who? That Wei boy?”

Lan Wangji turned to stare.

His uncle looked back at him. “What? Did you think you were being subtle?”

Lan Wangji opened and closed his mouth. He knew he wasn’t, of course, but he’d assumed his lack of subtlety had started…somewhat later in life. According to Lan Xichen, he hadn’t known Wei Wuxian for more than a week at this point.

“My relationship is not what I returned to fix,” he finally said. “There are other events –”

“It is that Wei boy!” His uncle looked – delighted? What? “An excellent choice, Wangji. You’re well matched.”

Lan Wangji felt his ears turning red. His uncle had certainly never said that to him in his past life.

Of course, if he had, Lan Wangji as he had been back then might have died of pure mortification, so it was probably for the best.

“You think so?” Lan Xichen asked. “He seems a bit – excitable –”

“It’ll be good for Wangji to have a challenge,” his uncle said, his eyes curving in a smile. “Someone to excite him every day.”

“I came to tell you about war,” Lan Wangji said, a little desperate to make them stop. “With the Wen sect -”

“The inevitability of war can wait,” Lan Qiren said. “First – do you have any children?”

“…one.”

“You have a child!” Lan Xichen exclaimed. “Wangji! You didn’t say! How wonderful! You have to tell us everything!”

Lan Wangji wondered exactly how he had reached this point.

Nie Huaisang had developed a new habit that Lan Wangji didn’t know what to make of.

It hadn’t happened in his first life – certainly not at the Cloud Recesses, but not at any other point thereafter – and that made it strange. For a little while, Lan Wangji was afraid that Nie Huaisang had also returned from the future, since he wouldn’t put it past the Headshaker to have figured out his own way back for his own purposes, but after feeling him out a little he didn’t think so.

But that made what he was doing all the stranger.

From what Lan Wangji remembered, Nie Huaisang had been a little afraid of him during this time, and had largely avoided him, preferring to spend time with Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng. So why was he now following him around, talking about all manner of random things? He often didn’t even provide context for the subjects he brought up, and sometimes merely listed off names of people or places or even sometimes things.

It was totally nonsensical.

At first, Lan Wangji tried to ignore him, but it had no impact whatsoever. Nie Huaisang just continued what he was doing.

In the end, Lan Wangji cracked first, turning to him all at once while they were walking alone in the garden - or, well, Lan Wangji was walking his patrols, and Nie Huaisang was tagging along. “What are you doing?”

“Getting answers,” Nie Huaisang answered promptly, as if he’d only been waiting for Lan Wangji to ask.

Lan Wangji frowned at him.

Nie Huaisang was still young at this point – young and lazy and frivolous. But Lan Wangji had seen what steel lay beneath, in the years to come, and he would not make the mistake of underestimating him as so many others did.

“What answers?” he asked. “To what questions?”

“I want to know the future, of course!” Nie Huaisang said. “And since it’s obvious that you know it, I’m picking your brain.”

Lan Wangji stared.

His brother figuring it out, he could understand. His uncle had been told directly. Wei Wuxian wouldn’t have surprised him, being both a genius and Lan Wangji’s soulmate. But – Nie Huaisang?

“How?” he asked.

“You very suddenly changed in how you reacted to things,” Nie Huaisang said with a shrug. “I tried to think of all the reasons there might be for it, given the constraints of time and place, and I’ve been testing and eliminating various options ever since. You wince when you think about someone who gets hurt eventually, you know.”

“…I do?”

Nie Huaisang nodded.

“Why are you telling me this?” Lan Wangji asked. The Nie Huaisang of the future was capable of an amazing degree of deception – he could not bring himself to believe that the younger version had been so careless by accident. Especially not with how eager he was to answer Lan Wangji’s questions.

“I want details,” Nie Huaisang said. “Obviously.”

“No.” Lan Wangji didn’t need to think twice about it. It was one thing to tell his family – he hadn’t planned to, but they knew him too well for him to avoid it – and entirely another to let the master schemer have such an advantage.

Nie Huaisang caught his arm.

“I don’t think you entirely understand, Lan-er-gonzi,” he said. “You flinch whenever anyone says my brother’s name. I want to know why, and I want to stop it from happening.”

It shouldn’t have been a surprise to find that steel core so near to the surface, even this young, and yet somehow it was.

“And if I refuse?” he asked, more out of curiosity than anything else.

“You won’t. You have a big brother, too, and you flinch when his name gets said if you’re not paying attention.”

Nie Huaisang was really too smart.

“I won’t,” he agreed. “But supposing I did, what would have been your next step?”

“Oh, that’s easy,” Nie Huaisang said. “I would have asked your brother to get it out of you.”

Lan Wangji sighed.

While Travelling (Drabble)

“Shijie, you do know that this whole event is nothing but a shoddily disguised marriage market, right?” Wei Wuxian asked, staring at the glimmering waves their boat was cutting across. “Not that it concerns you. You already have that peacock. Well, better than being sold off to Jin Xizun, I suppose.”

Wei Wuxian pretended to be gagging at his own words.

He could feel, rather than see, Jiang Yanli smile at him.

“We will ask for a high price for our head disciple,” she replied, lightly teasing.

“You have to,” Wei Wuxian agreed with a short laugh. “Considering Jiang Cheng’s grumpy mug will chase away even the most determined of gold-diggers, it will be up to me to make a good match.”

Predictably, Jiang Cheng swung to hit him, but Wei Wuxian skillfully evaded his hand.

“I am serious, Jiang Cheng,” he laughed. “You have no skill with the ladies. I worry about the future of the Yunmeng Jiang sect.”

“Are you saying your indiscriminate flirting is better?” Jiang Cheng glowered at him.

“I’m just working to raise my asking price,” Wei Wuxian replied lightly. “Someone has to increase the fortunes of the Jiang sect.”

Jiang Cheng huffed indignantly.

“I don’t need your help.”

“Have you heard that, Shijie?” Wei Wuxian asked, smiling at his favourite sister. “Jiang Cheng does not need my help. In that case, I shall indulge in some light mischief on this very, very boring trip.”

“Wei Wuxian, what are you planning?” Jiang Cheng demanded to know.

“Well,” Wei Wuxian replied, leaning back onto his cushion and pretending to be thinking. “I have it from a good source that Lan Wangji will be there as well, and if anyone would profit from my flirting skills, it would be him.”

He laughed at his own words.

“He is handsome enough, but with that stick up his ass, no one is ever going to want to marry him.”

He eyed Jiang Cheng bemusedly.

“Even your sour face might have better chances.”

“Wei Wuxian!” Jiang Cheng cried angrily.

Wei Wuxian laughed and quickly scrambled to hide behind his sister, making the boat rock dangerously for a moment.

“It’s true though!”

“I don’t know if I agree, A-Ying,” Jiang Yanli said delicately. “I am sure that there will be someone who is able to admire Lan er-gongzi’s good qualities, if the occasion arises.”

“What qualities? Glaring at people when they offend his delicate sensibilities? Forcing you to write the rules a dozen times because you were running in the corridor? He’s an old, grouchy grandpa. Almost as grouchy as Jiang Cheng.”

Jiang Yanli shook her head.

“No, A-Ying. What I meant was that he has a serious and steady character. It might be an advantage to have someone like that committed to you.”

“Yeah, unlike your flighty ass,” Jiang Cheng added snidely.

“Aiyoo, rude!” Wei Wuxian exclaimed. “I won’t help you, Jiang Cheng, even if you come crying to me.”

(”Who would,” Jiang Cheng groused.)

“In any case, I still plan to have my fun with Lan er-gongzi. Maybe I’ll even try flirting with him a little.”

Jiang Cheng gagged dramatically.

“Aren’t you doing that already?” he asked. “It’s disgusting to watch.”

“Jiang Cheng, you’re such a child.”

“I am exactly as old as you are!”

At this point, Jiang Yanli skilfully derailed the fight by serving snacks, and when they started the conversation up the next time, they were speaking about the landscape and the food they were wanting to try once they arrived at their destination. Lan Wangji or marriage schemes went unmentioned.

Some time later though, when they were all idly watching the scenery pass them by, Wei Wuxian remembered Jiang Yanli’s words.

I am sure that there will be someone who is able to admire Lan er-gonzi’s good qualities.

Of course, there wouldn’t be.

There couldn’t be.

Otherwise, that would mean...

Wei Wuxian shook his head.

Maybe he should be serious for once and actually look for a partner, himself.

But first, of course, he had to tease Lan Zhan a little.

5, 29 or 43 for nhs/su she?

Guess it can count very vaguely as 29 Being in denial about them actually being in love with them./ 43 Taking s/o to meet parents.

"I don't think your plan is working," Su She remarked.

Nie Huaisang, who'd started to fall asleep, hummed to signal he had no idea what that was about. He was very comfortably laying in the grass, his head on Su She's lap while the other boy read some boring Lan book for his lessons, and actually talking would have demanded more effort than Nie Huaisang was willing to expand.

"I don't think Lan er-gongzi has even noticed that you're trying to get him jealous," Su She clarified. "He didn't even see us kissing earlier, and we were right there."

"Hm. Wei-xiong managed to get himself kicked out," Nie Huaisang yawned, before breaking into a small grin. It had been a very nice kiss. "I think Wangji is going to mope around for a while, now that he's lost his favourite nemesis."

Su She tensed, enough so that it made him uncomfortable for use as a pillow.

"What now?" Nie Huaisang asked, sitting up.

"Will you change your plan, now that Lan er-gonzi is going to be free again?"

Nie Huaisang shrugged, and stretched lazily. "I don't think he's free as such. He's got it bad, about Wei-xiong."

"Then he's stupid. That Wei Wuxian has nothing on you. Well, not when it comes to looks anyway."

“That’s very sweet of you,” Nie Huaisang said, earning a scoff. “It is! Most people would say I don’t even have looks on my side.”

“Most people are stupid,” Su She sneered.

Again Nie Huaisang stretched, slow and lazy, taking the chance to nuzzle at Su She’s thigh, before reluctantly sitting up. He opened his fan, and took a long, good look at the other boy, that poor Lan disciple he’d somehow dragged into his crazy plan in a desperate effort to catch Lan Wangji’s attention. Back when the school year had started, Nie Huaisang had nearly cried over the unfairness of discovering Lan Wangji too liked boys, but only because he’d noticed how his crush looked at Wei Wuxian.

…

Fine. He had actually cried, a lot, frequently, and preferably in places where Lan Wangji should have seen it, but apparently crying in public wasn’t actually forbidden. Not that it mattered, because all of a sudden, Lan Wangji dropped his other duties and only supervised the punishment of one Wei Wuxian, who was too stupid to even realise how lucky he was, and…

And then Nie Huaisang had found himself crying again, but in a more secluded place, because those had been true, honest tears that made his face all blotchy and his nose all runny. It was in this horrible state of ugliness that Su She had found him. The older boy had been concerned at first, but only until he’d realised this whole thing was about Lan Wangji, at which point he’d called Nie Huaisang an idiot for being so indirect about his crush.

A comment he’d regretted when Nie Huaisang had dried his tears and impulsively asked Su She to help him make Lan Wangji jealous. Nie Huaisang had ended up basically paying the other boy to help him, but that didn’t matter. What mattered was that Su She had agreed, and the plan had been set in motion.

It had been, Nie Huaisang liked to think, a great plan.

But two months had passed, the situation had changed, and the plan just wasn’t right anymore.

It was time for a new plan, and that one was absolutely going to work.

“Su-xiong, I have an idea,” Nie Huaisang announced, closing his fan.

“A good idea?” Su She asked, sounding far too suspicious, really.

“Of course. All my ideas are great.”

Su She gave him a look. Nie Huaisang stuck his tongue out at him.

“My ideas are great, you’re just too indoctrinated by the Lans,” he insisted, poking at Su She’s shoulder with his fan. “Anyway, you’re right, making Wangji jealous isn’t working, so I’m dropping that idea.”

Something immediately hardened in Su She’s face, the older boy’s hand clenching hard enough his knuckles turned as white as his robes. Nie Huaisang had to reopen his fan to hide a smile, pleased with that reaction. He’d suspected already, but it was nice to have it confirmed. After all, Su She didn’t kiss like someone who was just paid to do it, and always let him get away with so much even when there was no one to see, and would pet his hair sometimes, and…

Well, Nie Huaisang was only mildly stupid, no matter what his teachers thought.

“Su-xiong, when the school year is over, do you mind if I ask teacher Lan to let you travel with me to the Unclean Realm?" Nie Huaisang asked, startling the other boy.

"What for?" Su She asked, again with far too much suspicion, especially when he was always complaining that he wished he could leave the Cloud Recesses more.

Nie Huaisang started fanning himself with affected nonchalance.

"I've just written so much about you this year, so da-ge wants to meet you.” Seeing Su She startle, Nie Huaisang laughed. “Oh, don't worry! He's nicer than what people say! And I like you, so he'll like you too."

“You like me?”

Nie Huaisang’s fan stilled as he shot the other boy a surprised look. Su She was always confident, disdainful even, for which he sometimes got in trouble with other members of the Lan sect. But right then, his voice was low and a little incredulous, as if in spite of the too proud front he displayed before others, he couldn’t quite believe that anyone might want him.

Of course, that was a sentiment Nie Huaisang knew as well, and it only served to cement his decision.

Nie Mingjue could say what he wanted, Nie Huaisang was taking Su She home with him, and he was going to keep him, because clearly nobody else knew how to appreciate him.

They might come second best to everyone else, but if they chose each other, who cared that other people thought they weren’t enough?

So Nie Huaisang grinned and, rather than to answer that stupid question, he kissed Su She, hoping that would say it all.

#Su She #nie huaisang #mo dao zu shi #mdzs #bad ship prompts #jau writes #I legit had to control myself because I almost wrote something much much longer #I guess I have big feels for characters who are never good enough for everyone else deciding that they're good together #anyway I'm a little into this ship now oops
