Free name headcanons, get ‘em while they’re hot!

Note that I do Not speak Chinese and I am Not completely certain about any of these But! I have tried looking to see if other people have made posts about given name headcanons for some of the cast that only have courtesy names and found nothing so if I am Wrong I hope someone will please take pity and correct me. Nie Huaisang -- 涧 Jian, Mountain stream. Nie Mingjue -- 峰 Feng, Mountain peak. Nie Zonghui -- 峥 Zheng, lofty (of a mountain)

You probably noticed the theme! My only justification is “wouldn’t it be neat if it was a naming tradition among the Nie for the actual family to have like, cool environmental names?” and I don’t know enough about the language to come up with something fancy and clever so everybody is literally just getting named for Parts Of The Mountain. As far as I could find Zheng is actually technically a surname but I also didn’t find anything saying it couldn’t be a given name? If I’m wrong plz ups a bomb to my house at your earliest convenience UwU

Ouyang Zizhen -- 胜 Sheng, to defeat/to surpass/to be victorious

Old man sect leader Ouyang wants to be big and important so bad and he’s fully heaping all those dreams and expectations onto his kid. Sorry Zizhen.

Mo Xuanyu -- 丽 Li, beautiful Mama Mo -- 爱 Ai, love/affection

The only thing we really know about Xuanyu is that he likes to wear makeup. Me being me, I’m gonna stretch that one (1) trivia fact into an entire character trait! Some of the only memories he has of his mother is that she liked pretty things, and whenever she could she would show them to him. Not just finely-crafted jewelry or intricately embroidered robes (although those too) but also beauty in nature, and stories, and music. Naturally, to her, there was nothing in the world more beautiful than her baby, and she told him that every day. And now all of us are sad.

Lan Jingyi -- 欣 Xin, happy, joyful, delighted

My personal headcanons for the parents of the most un-Lan Lan are that they were pretty un-Lan Lans themselves; I like to think Jingyi’s father in particular was a loud, cheerful man who smiled a lot and loved to make new friends. Especially since Jingyi was def born during Sunshot, I think happiness is a good thing to hope for for your kid.

Jin Zixuan -- 富 Fu, rich, abundant, wealthy

This one was actually kind of a fuck you from Guanshan. The Jin have money. As far as he’s concerned, that’s all that really matters? His kid is gonna be Richer Than You and there’s nothing you can do about it. No, he hasn’t put any actual thought into what kind of person his son is going to grow up to be or what hopes he has for his heir’s future, he doesn’t view his son as a person.

#mdzs #the untamed #nie huaisang #nie mingjue #nie zonghui #ouyang zizhen #mo xuanyu #lan jingyi #jin zixuan #headcanons #names are hard #i will admit a large portion of this was inspired by me reading junior quartet poly fics #and getting angry that only jin ling and lan yuan had surnames #that their boyfriends could murmur softly and get them all blushy about #it was a crime I tell you an actual crime #anyway feel free to use any or all of these its not like I own Names

The Catalyst - Chapter 14

Some of you may remember some of the my Nie Sect headcanons about the Stone Castles and the management of saber spirits - well here they make an appearance :D As well as a little WangSang platonic bonding!

The Catalyst - Chapter 14

Excerpt:

With his friends at his back, Huaisang followed Nie Zonghui down a set of stone steps and into a large, open hall. There was a shrine at the far end and six stone coffins. He tilted his head – only six? There were supposed to be generations of Nie ancestors in here. There must be another door, perhaps hidden along the walls or behind the shrine? “Oh, and everybody, keep away from the walls,” Nie Zonghui called out. “We don't want you to get pulled inside.” Huaisang and the others traded looks. “So Da-ge chose not to tell me about a Stone Castle with man-eating walls. I can't imagine why.” “It's more than just that.” Zonghui pointed to a coffin whose lid was shifted open. “Look.” He walked over and did as he was bid – there was no body inside the coffin, only a saber in a special stand. “Where's the body? Even if it decayed, there should be some sign of it.” “Nie-er-gongzi, the Stone Castle isn't for our dead. It's for their sabers.”

Psssst, if you want an excuse, here it is. tell me about that sunshot campaign AU. I wanna know.

*rattles my headcanons like cat treats for all the nhs stans*

OKAY, SO. I'll give you the extremely abbreviated version ahahha it’s still hella long, but- listen- I have this very specific, absolutely ooc Nie brothers Sunshot au that I like to return to now and then.

(Also sorry for the delay, Anon, for some reason this hc was hard to pull from my brain into reality so please forgive the lack of grammar as i wordvomit some impromptu worldbuilding.)

Context:

1) I saw the Unclean Realm gate and I a complete historical architecture nerd but also cultural noob said that is a place that knows siege warfare.

2) I like to think that there’s this untapped geopolitical history between Qishan and Qinghe that is just begging to be explored, re: the use of children throughout history as political hostages

(Consider: young second master Nie Huaisang being yeeted into Qishan, and knowing Wen Chao and Wen Qing and Wen Ning before that confrontational scene in the Gusu arc - big yes. I have a scene for that specifically that is Adjacent to this.

But ALSO consider: second master wen chao being yeeted into Qinghe at a young age and spending time with nhs and nmj and just being a more 3d character in general with Complex Motivations and Things. 👀👀 juicy villain backstory hello i was not ready for my brain to take this turn today)

3) Also, on the topic of backstory, you can prise nhs referring to lwj as “wangji-xiong” ("wangji-ge") from my cold dead hands.

4) I like to imagine, thanks probably to fanfic like come from my inkstone, that Huaisang has been involved in the logistical side of the Sunshot campaign, running supply trains and stepping up to govern the Unclean Realm in his brother’s stead because nhs in this fic has Political Smarts and Things (the “things” is Feelings and I stan this ot4).

And finally,

5) to frame the rough start of this au, i have a Specific Scenario, which is borrowed heavily from this fic, without you (i don’t know what i’d do). In the fic, nhs basically rides all the way from Qinghe to the Nie camp to warn nmj of an attack on the Unclean Realm only to collapse dramatically off his horse and I live and breathe that kind of commitment to hurt/comfort, so of course I incorporated that into my headcanon.

Okay wait one more thing to note,

6) all this backstory is absolutely saturated in my Nie brothers feelings from Fatal Journey. *plays Qinghe Jue on repeat* Just, yknow, peppering in that Nie sect-centricity.

So - finally - the AU:

- nmj is alerted by zonghui because we stan one disposable spin off character of a single rider galloping towards their encampment. it’s huaisang, his plain riding gear (basically the main fatal journey outfit) splattered with mud, his horse foaming at the mouth im sorry horsie. the dire owl is arcing low in the sky, screeching its omens, and nmj is afraid.

- nhs dismounts from his horse already pushing past nmj, towards the tent with the battle map. blah blah insert drabble and nhs being all exhausted but determined to lay out the updated positions he’s memorised, that Nie temper trickling out. nhs informs nmj that the unclean realm is under siege, the enemy taking advantage of nmj’s distraction and the lack of seasoned warriors left in Qinghe. in my head, the enemy is an external force that qinghe, as a border country, has dealt with on their own for decades. tbf i’d need to check the actual map that flashes past in the drama etc to say how accurate this is (probably not very, but i crave cultural nuance and worldbuilding).

- this puts the nie sect in a precarious position. nmj must lead the campaign against wen ruohan, but an external force (perhaps allied with the wen) threatens their homeland. nmj himself cannot go, and cannot spare many men. he cannot be in two places at once. he almost despairs, right then and there - if they win the sunshot campaign, but lose the unclean realm, what becomes of his sect?

- and huaisang is smiling at him, a little sadly, as if he already knows how this conversation plays out, as if nmj does too- “dage-” “no.” “-i will go.” it’s practically suicide. his didi, with all his knowledge of strategy, knows nothing of battle. but here he is, offering to fight the invading forces in his stead, with only the handful of men that nmj can spare. loyal men. men who would rally behind their second disciple without question, because despite his flaky attitude, nhs- “what kind of nie would i be,” huaisang says, too calmly and too flippantly, “if i did not defend our ancestor’s land?” then, almost gently, “we are nie. if we are to die, we should both meet it on the battlefield.” nmj stares down at his knuckles, white against the curling yellow map that spells out their defeat. memories of their father pressing behind his eyes.

- the next morning, after some moving backstory about nhs and nmj and filial piety on which the entire believability of this character development rests so ofc I haven't written it nhs has his hair braided up into a different style by his brother - easier, for riding. for combat. the nie know what it means. he is still in those plain robes, sleeves cinched for battle. but a sabre rests at his hip and his brother’s hairpins glint in the cold morning light. behind him, six other disciples including zonghui, sit atop restless horses, waiting nmj’s nhs’s command. nhs smiles up at his brother, who cannot help the deep, distressed frown that saturates his whole face. “dage,” he says, gripping nmj’s elbow and resting their foreheads together. “let’s be brothers in our next life.”

- “xichen,” mingjue says eventually, his breath barely mist in morning air. “i have sent my little brother to die.” as serene as the white silhouette beside him appears, lxc’s grip on his elbow is like a vice, tight with anxiety and unspoken fear. big brother solidarity in this trying time.

- there is no word from nhs for a long time. nmj sits at the victory banquet alone, the table to his left set, but empty. then-

running footsteps. a disciple, in qinghe greys. “zhongzhu!”

nmj is only tangentially aware that grip on his cup could crush a man’s throat. before he can bid the man to speak, however, the herald announces an arrival, his voice booming through the hall and cutting all curious chatter - “Nie-er-gonzi!”

nhs swans into the hall, fan wafting a leisurely tempo against his satisfied grin. “Dage!” he calls, “You started without me!”

Nmj surges from his seat and is halfway through the hall before he even realises it, sweeping his brother into his arms. “Huaisang,” he says, chin tucked against the crown of his brother’s head. he means to say- a lot of things. but by the tightening of nhs’s arms around his waist, nhs already knows.

- against all odds, they’ve won on both fronts. zonghui himself isn’t sure how it happened but yes nhs absolutely just talked his way out of a battle because his tongue always was as sharp as qinghe steel. and no, master, er-gongzi is still absolutely hopeless with a sabre, we saw like ten minutes of actual combat tops. but we did manage to strike some sort of political deal nhs is like 64% sure you’ll hate but will eventually see sense about. it’s cool, this won’t come back to bite him in the ass after you die at all.

- resume canon plot.

...

that’s it anon that’s all i got

i got a little carried away at the end but t’s the short version i swear

anyway i hope you enjoyed my ooc sunshot au in which nhs is the bamf his character arc deserves.

The reason Nie Huaisang has no bodyguards is because he misses Zonghui and doesn’t want anyone to replace him.

some of my random headcanons for Nie Mingjue

loves little kids. adores them actually. but he’ll never tell anyone this. when huaisang was younger, mingjue smiled more.

hates loquats. can’t understand how anyone can eat them.

secretly slips money to residents of qinghe who he knows struggle to make ends meet.

zonghui sat in the hallway with him when huaisang was being delivered.

has the prettiest eyelashes.

sings in the shower.

walks around his house without shoes whenever possible.

takes the hottest baths known to man and doesn’t even flinch.

says that he hates the birds that huaisang keeps but likes to feed them and whistle at them when he passes by.

he’ll go to the very top tower of his house at nightfall and stargaze for hours. when xichen can’t make it to play clarity for him, this is how he calms himself down.

got into a fistfight during a gusu lecture which resulted in him loosing one of his top molar teeth. the fight was started because someone called xichen a rude name.

doesn’t care cares very deeply that he’s placed 7th on the cultivator list

he would’ve 100% thrown down at jin zixun at the floral banquet if wei wuxian wouldn’t have walked in when he did.

yes, he has checked out wei wuxian’s ass

no, he has never told, nor will he ever tell, anyone about it.

but just so everyone is aware: it’s a nice ass.

tried to learn to play an instrument but got so frustrated that he broke it. lan xichen doesn’t know this.

is a very skilled archer when necessary.

has never broken a bone.

his first blood was from a night hunt creature. he was 12 and it was his very first night hunt. first hunt. first blood. nie dad was very proud.

he wants to learn to whittle but has no patience for it.

he carved a small horse for xichen once as a birthday gift when he was 7. it was the first time he ever saw xichen smile.

he couldn’t understand why his heart started racing when xichen smiled at him.

until he returned to gusu at 15 and saw that xichen still had the horse tied on his jade belt.

that’s when he fell in love.

likes braiding hair. anyone’s hair. doesn’t matter. if you have hair, mingjue wants to braid it.

@dual-domination (Starting our own post so we don't clog up OP's notes)

Oh so we have the potential for comedy in our movie too! XD (I am so sorry Zonghui. I am 100% oblivious when someone is flirting with me {not kidding - the weekend I met husbandloaf, he was flirting with me the entire time and I fucking missed it} and I don't think Huaisang is much better. And I KNOW Mingjue ain't. XD)

And as for where I am in the movie...hmmm...

So I'm going to go on a headcanon that I have for the Nie Clan and how they view women. In the Nie Clan, men are primarily the warriors and women are primarily the healers. But, the Nie mindset is that the healers are a sort of warrior - they're just fighting a different kind of battle. This is not to say Nie women are not trained in saber - they are. And Nie women are more often considered more ferocious fighters than Nie men. If you meet a Nie woman on the battlefield and she has a saber pointed at you, you're fucked. (I have like next to no canon evidence to back this up, this is just what lives in my head with the Nie Clan. And I blame this song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tt476b70OyQ - for my perceptions of the Nie women).

So my introduction is with the Nie women, being taught the healer's craft. More than likely, I am trying to help on the medical side with Mingjue. And I get to keep bandaging Huaisang up when he gets hurt and lovingly scolding him. XD

I also may or may not have imagined my own fight scenes that actually involve me with a knife or a bladed fan moreso than a saber

In keeping with the 'verses where Jingyi is an nielan spiritual accident energy kid, art thief Jingyi is also an accidental kid. Not sure if it was an accidental adoption or a birth control fail though.

One of the first anons to leap into this au headcanoned one of nielan as trans, so that’s what I’m going with! Lan Xichen was at the peak of his heisting career when baby Jingyi came along, and his only thoughts about his future in crime were as follows:

LXC: I can still run museum heists with a small lettuce on the way. No problem.

Lan Wangji: xiongzhangpleaseno?????

In the end, Huaisang replaced Lan Xichen as LWJ’s heist partner while Nie Zonghui took over NHS’s old job as getaway driver, and Lan Xichen devoted himself to his law practice full-time. Nie Mingjue and Lan Qiren had to have a tea party of relieved solidarity after that. DX

Nie MingJue stared balefully at the crate in the corner of his bedroom. Who knew newborn chicks were so noisy even when they were sleeping? And they stank to the high heavens. Why was the crate in his bedroom anyway? Since when did people start storing miscellaneous livestock in their sectleader's bedroom?

A full 6 months of being pampered by the three plus major sects and numerous disciples did little to improve Jingwei's appearance. She looked like a moulting feather duster more than ever. But her babies were delights to observe. Round little fluffballs, curious and energetic. Apparently, it was too early to tell whether they were male or female, but he sincerely hoped all the babies were female because a rooster didn't deserve to be called Xiao Shishi.

There were rushing footsteps outside. HuaiSang stormed in without knocking. They both spoke at the same time.

"Privacy! Ever heard of it?"

"What do you plan to do about it?"

Jingwei raised her sleepy head and clucked in reproach.

Nie MingJue did NOT lose the staring contest. He merely wanted HuaiSang out of his bedroom before the chicks were awake. He was tired, okay?

"About what? You? You I am planning to sell to Wei Wuxian to practice demonic cultivation on."

"Don't be crass! Besides, apparently, Wangji-xiong has started growling at anyone coming within an arm's distance of Wei-xiong, Wen Qionglin said."

Once upon a time, Nie MingJue was genuinely jealous of Lan Xichen on having a civilised little brother. Not anymore. HuaiSang was a royal pain in the butt, sure, but he has yet to cause an intersect uproar. Now Mingjue's mainly jealous of Wen-guiniang.

"I am not doing anything about it. It's a Lan-Jiang issue. Interfering in marriage treaties does not fall into the category of chief cultivator's duties."

"Not about that. Are you aware your pet chicken became a mom 2 weeks ago?"

"She's not my pet!" At this point, the protest is more of a reflex.

HuaiSang ignored him.

"Which means there's a dad somewhere, shirking his responsibilities."

MingJue snorted.

"What responsibilities does a rooster have towards its chicks?"

"Half of the cost of raising them, half of babysitting…"

He had a point. The Qinghe Nie sect wasn't hurting for a feastful of corns a day. But Nie MingJue would love to sleep in a quiet room once in a while. Besides, the regular visitor in his bedroom complained that chicken feather exacerbated their allergies and they didn't appreciate being stared by a chicken in bed anyway. What was the world coming to that a chicken got more action than the chief cultivator himself? But maybe a reasonable shared custody agreement would grant him his bedroom all to himself once every few days.

"Get out!" He pointed to the door, "and tell Zonghui to get everyone that owns a rooster in Qinghe to come see me tomorrow morning."

In the morning, he sat at his worktable, sipping his second cup of tea. A chick tried to peck at the embroidery of his clothes, but he decided to indulge it. After all, who knows where it might be spending half the weekdays in? Not every farmer in Qinghe could afford embroidered clothes.

"Sect leader, master HuaiSang woke me up last night to tell me that you wanted to see all the rooster-owners in Qinghe." There was a subtle hint of complaint in Zonghui's voice. In his humble opinion, his duties as the right-hand man to the sect leader didn't involve indulging whatever prank HuaiSang was playing at the moment.

"Yes, er, I did. I mean, I do."

Zonghui stared.

"If I may be so bold, sect leader, why do you want to speak to them?"

Nie MingJue felt his face getting warmer. What seemed like a good idea to his half-asleep brain in the candlelight seemed laughable in front of the stoic face of his subordinate in the morning sun.

"Hmmmph, well, one of their roosters is responsible for this!" He gestured all around him. "It's only fair they take some responsibility."

Nie Zonghui kept staring.

"And how do you plan to find out which rooster exactly that is responsible? Shall I invite Lan-zongzhu to play enquiry on Jingwei?"

Was that sarcasm? Nie MingJue just realised he himself was a bad influence on his own right-hand man. Zonghui continued,

"Besides, what responsibilities do you expect them to take? How much can a farmer pay to the Qinghe Nie as compensation?"

"I wasn't thinking of money," MingJue argued heatedly. "Maybe they can look after the chicks on alternate weeks. That seems only fair."

"It would make more sense for them to take half of the chicks. Forever."

MingJue's hand paused in the middle of bringing the cup to his lip. He put the cup down, then delicately picked up the chick from his lap and handed her over to Zonghui.

"I have changed my mind. There's no need to see anyone. Take Xiao Fengxian to her sisters on your way out."

Maybe he himself could go visit a certain someone more often from now on. It would certainly improve intersect relationships.

About Me and What I Write

I was about to update my pinned post with the fics I've written, but the number has gone up SO MUCH since my last update that the post would be far too long (and I have no desire to be "colours of the sky" long!). Therefore, I thought I'd try something different for my Tumblr pinned post.

About Me and What I Write

What's Your Name: JaimeBlue - I have been JaimeBlue online in some way, shape, or form since before the millenium, so if you see the name and start thinking about Joxer the Mighty (Xena/Hercules) or Tim O'Neill (SeaQuest - hence the sq in my Tumblr handle), or even as the weirdo who loved to play Percy Weasley, Ernie MacMillan, and Justin Finch-Fletchley in HP RPGs a decade or more ago, then yeah, that's me.

What is Your Current Fandom: The Untamed/Modao Zushi - yes, I went down the Chinese Drama rabbit hole hard and have yet to come up for air - though while I watch and enjoy a few, the only one I'm active in and writing for is The Untamed.

What Characters Do You Love: Nie Huaisang, Nie Mingjue, Nie Zonghui (I sense a trend lol), Jiang Cheng, Meng Yao/Jin Guangyao, Jin Zixun (don't judge me!!! okay, you can judge me a little), Jin Zixuan, Yu Ziyuan, Luo QingYang/Mianmian... I enjoy many more than that, but I take particular joy in writing for each of them. Basically the only character I really can't stand and is irredeemable is Jin Guangshan (fuck JGS!) but I'll even write him for the right story. Favourite Pairings?: Nie Huaisang/Jiang Cheng, Nie Huaisang/Jin Guangyao, Nie Huaisang/Nie Zonghui, Nie Huaisang/Jin Zixun - I love and write many more than that, but to list everything I enjoy would take forever.

Do You Take Asks/Prompts/Requests?: A resounding YES. I love hearing from people who like what I've written enough to want more, and prompts give me a chance to play and stretch my wings, so to speak. And with so many of my current fics being longer/long-term projects, having some shorter one-shots helps to keep me sharp.

Feel free to submit a prompt on my Personal AO3 Prompt Meme.

What Prompts Are You Taking?: Anything about the characters I love (see above), but am always happy to try something new. I have a particular love for the Nie Sect, of course, and love headcanons about them. What Prompts Are You NOT Taking?: At the moment, WangXian. I know, it's the biggest pairing in the fandom, and while I'll always have affection for the boys and how they drew me into the story, they just don't inspire me much. I enjoy them as secondary characters, or outsider POVs on those I enjoy, but I'd rather focus my writing on those that bring me joy and may not always get as much attention in the fandom.

All right, you say you're a writer - so what have you actually written?

The short answer: here is what I have on AO3.

The longer answer(s): here is where I get to toot my own horn a little :D Here's a sample of what I've written online and why I think they would give a good idea of who I am and what I write.

Reality is Overrated: (Gen with very minor NHS/OMC) I think this is the posted fic I'm proudest of. It's a "stuck in a dream" fic where Nie Huaisang wakes up with his family alive all around him and the news that he had an accident which explains why he has lost some memories. The only person who sees anything wrong is Jin Zixun, who keeps trying to tell him that none of it is real. This was from a MDZS Kink Meme Prompt (issued by Fortune_Maiden!) asking for a fic inspired by the Superman comic plotline of "For The Man Who Has Everything" that just took over my brain, and I'm really pleased with how it turned out, down to the ending which hadn't been part of the original plotting but just brought the story around to a satisfying end.

The Nie Sect Murder Tortoises Series: (some Gen, some SangYao, other pairings occasionally) This started out with a crack fic about Nie Huaisang domesticating the Tortoise of Slaughter in Qishan, and turned into a whole universe unto itself. It even has lore, art, and a fic written by another author (Fortune_Maiden - my conversation with her about NHS and spiritual tortoises was what inspired the idea in the first place). This is probably what's been read most of anything I've done, so you are welcome to join us all in the murder tortoise crackiness!

Winning the Game: (Gen, but with minor NHS/OMC content and a torture scene) This was my answer to the question "What happened to Nie Huaisang after he passed out at the indoctrination camp in The Untamed?" It's angsty, hurt/comfort, but also something I'm terribly proud of. NHS is a survivor and often underestimated, and these are on full display in this fic.

Nothing Mutt-ers As Much As You: (Gen, Jin Ling & Jiang Cheng) Short and sweet fic about JC being caught asleep in a pile of puppies, but it's a great, tender moment between nephew and uncle, a relationship I adore and frankly should write more of (but damn I don't write post-canon much).

And the rise to the top is a fall from below: (can be read as either Gen or SangYao) I love unconventional takes on tropes, so in this one I did a take on the soulmate AU with Nie Huaisang & Jin Guangyao as soulmates. NHS discovers JGY is his soulmate when he fails at killing him, because in this au, a person is physically incapable of killing their soulmate, and the story is an example of the entwined love and hate that make NHS and JGY such wonderful compelling characters to play off of each other. I really do love them even when I torture them so!

The Good, The Bad, and the Dirty: (mostly Gen with minor NHS/NZH) Bodyswap shenanigans! NHS, JGY, NMJ, and LXC all wake up in different bodies and have to figure out what happened, what to do about it, and how to not let anyone in on the fact that they aren't who they say they are. I had so much fun writing this! But if there's one thing to read it for, it's the scene with NMJ trying to pass as JGY in Koi Tower. It was my FAVOURITE scene to write and was so satisfying!!!!

Trouble is My Business: (SangCheng) The San Francisco Prohibition era AU that nobody asked for but I gave them anyway. I got to learn a little about SF Chinatown, dust off my love for the music and general atmosphere of the era, and got to write my fav couple in the middle of it all. What more could I ask for?

A Miracle Engulfed in Flames: (SangCheng - Explicit) This is the fic I wrote for the Reverse Big Bang in partnership with Mikoiifish, an amazing artist that I worked so well with, I've commissioned her to create images for another project. This story is an au with major fantasy/fairy-tale elements and I had to wrack my brain a few times to get the lore just right and the causes and effects of things, and I think the final product is something I'm quite proud of :D And of course Mikoiifish's art is AMAZING. Open the link for that alone!

They Can Love Me Better: (Nie Huaisang/Jiang Cheng/Qin Su revenge triad) JGY gets his comeuppance by the three people he'd least suspect. It all started with some wonderful people on Tumblr putting forward the SangChengSu agenda, and I've happily subscribed to it and written it twice (with at least one more to come). It just turned out to be such a great scene showing the dynamics of the three, and the sexiness of them (nothing graphic, but you can feel the heat between them), all written from JGY's pov as he gets owned. Yeah, this was a fun one :D

They Get Around: (NHS/multi, LQY/multi) Okay, this is a little fic I wrote that not many have read but I love the hell out of it! It was an experiment in writing mostly through dialogue (dialogue in general is one of my strengths and something I love to write), so by a certain point you're identifying the characters by the way they talk and how they address each other (e.g. only Wei Wuxian calls Nie Huaisang "Nie-xiong"), but even more, it was a humorous take on many of my favourite ships. The idea is that it's a modern day au where NHS & LQY are friends having bad luck in love, and set each other up on blind dates with people found for them online. Nothing graphic, pure fun, and I love how it turned out.

Lover, Please Stay: (NHS/LWJ) This I wrote for the MDZS Mixtape Exchange 2022. The song I was given was AMAZING and really inspired me, and I think the story came out well to bring out some of the lyrics and emotions in the song. The idea is that after WWX's death and LWJ's beating at the hands of the Lan Elders, he goes to Qinghe to heal and NHS becomes his caretaker. The road to love isn't always clear-cut, particularly when you know the other person's heart already belongs to someone, but sometimes things actually do work out in the end.

I'll Carry Your Load: (NHS/NZH - Explicit) 5 Times Nie Zonghui carried Nie Huaisang's Saber (and 1+1 time Huaisang did the carrying). This was a passion project of mine, and involved more than a bit of emotion at the end - it's basically the course of NHS & NZH falling in love with each other through tales of NZH carrying NHS' saber - very much inspired by the scene in Fatal Journey where the Nie are being attacked outside the saber tomb and NHS just reaches over and takes one of NZH's twin sabers as if he'd done it a million times before. I love SangHui to pieces! But yeah, be prepared for potential tears.

When Fate Opens a Window, Let Us Fly Through It: (NieLan with mischievous baby bros) A take on the Lan Ribbon Marriage trope with NMJ waking up bound with LXC 'by accident'. The Nie and the Lan are so much fun to write together, and damn it, NMJ deserves some happiness!!!

A Night at the Purple Peony: (NHS/Surprise - Explicit) One of my FAVOURITE fics I've written because not only did I have so much fun writing it, but the surprise pairing has become a HUGE guilty pleasure of mine and I've written often since. So yeah :D The plot is that NHS is in the mundane world at a gay club he's been told about, a place where men can go to meet one another in private. He and many others are masked, and he has an intimate night with one... and one day discovers that man is someone he knows in the Jianghu. I'm particuarly proud of the fan dancing seduction scene ;)

I Will Never be Satisfied: (Yu Ziyuan/Multiple - Explicit) The Yu Ziyuan gets gangbanged fic that one person on the Kink Meme asked for and I had a fun time writing. No higher meaning, just sex, but I'm pretty damned pleased with how it turned out :D

Would I Spend Forever Here and Not Be Satisfied: (NHS/OFC - Explicit, NonCon, Necrophilia) In a strange way, this fic is me in a nutshell. I saw a prompt and got an idea for it, and in the process of writing what was supposed to be an excuse to write a necrophilia scene, I created LORE and questions about right/wrong, the needs of the many vs the needs of the one, complete with NHS' innate desire for vengeance. And it's good! (At least I think so.)

So yeah, that's me in a big nutshell. Please feel free to read, like and comment if you enjoy them! And I'm always up for asks/prompts/requests.

for the headcanon meme: lan xichen, nie mingjue, jiang cheng, and meng yao

Lan Xichen

Sexuality Headcanon: Bi/Pan, very fluid and depends entirely on the relationship he has with someone.

Gender Headcanon: Cisgender man, but enjoys playing with gender expression in private.

A ship I have with said character: 3zun all the way

A BROTP I have with said character: Twin Jades

A NOTP I have with said character: Wei Wuxian or Wangji

A random headcanon: he gets headaches a lot, daily almost, but is too polite and focused on others to mention it to anyone. Only Wangji knows.

General Opinion over said character: I love him and won’t stand for any criticism of him as being blind or ignorant. He did his best and deserves respect for that.

Nie Mingjue

Sexuality Headcanon: Disaster Gay with a low libido who just wants to get on with running his Sect.

Gender Headcanon: Cisgender man but not in a Toxic way, happy to cry and wear fluffy slippers.

A ship I have with said character: 3zun, again, you get the idea.

A BROTP I have with said character: Nie bro’s is obvious but also Zonghui who deserved better.

A NOTP I have with said character: Huaisang, Wen Qing and any other Wen family member.

A random headcanon: he craves affection and loves being doted on gently but is afraid to ask for it when he knows others need comfort more.

General Opinion over said character: c o m p l i c a t e d. He is great and I love him but dang if he made some Bad Choices at times. Learn to listen to others, man! Understand the grey tones of the world! Take a nap!

Jiang Cheng

Sexuality Headcanon: grey-ace, sometimes sex repulsed and sometimes ambivalent. It’s complicated he is still working it out.

Gender Headcanon: trans man with a lot of dysphoria and issues with his identity in relation to his family

A ship I have with said character: ChengYao for sure

A BROTP I have with said character: I miss the Yunmeng Bros......

A NOTP I have with said character: any of his family. I’m not really a fan of XiCheng either, sorry

A random headcanon: when dressing in the morning, he goes over why each piece of clothing matters, binds and sets himself in order like each day is a battle. He is so tightly wound he could snap at a word but he knows that and works with it.

General Opinion over said character: SOMEONE HUG THAT BOY AND TELL HIM HE DID A GOOD JOB. Yes I’m projecting. No I won’t stop.

Meng Yao

Sexuality Headcanon: Bi/Pan, preference for men, has a complicated relationship with sex and intimacy in general.

Gender Headcanon: trans man with minor dysphoria, is more comfortable with himself now he has more security in his life

A ship I have with said character: 3zun, ChengYao, also I do loves but of Su She in his life.

A BROTP I have with said character: I want him to be best friends with his brothers and sister. And Huaisang. They all deserved happier friendships.

A NOTP I have with said character: Qin Su

A random headcanon: chronic pain is his life, mainly his back and hips, and it leads to days where he can’t really do anything but stay in bed and wait for it to pass. He and Xichen share headache tips sometimes.

General Opinion over said character: I will love him forever and not everything he did was terrible. An unjust and cruel society will create its own villains. Also I like his hat leave him alone.

the bubbling feeling of knowing you failed a difficult test is really relatable and you captured the feeling well!! as for headcanon mythoses, do you have any built up for the untamed? what's boueibu?

Thank you! Not included in that snippet was several paragraphs of internal blame game and insistence that you couldn’t have possibly done any better when the reality is you just didn’t study that much in the first place. Me after every biology test ever ^^”

I’m not entirely sure if mythos was the right word to use, but my Untamed headcanons are largely Nie brothers related and how NHS went from spoiled but fairly self-assured sect heir to hopeless Headshaker (I honestly dislike how he figured it out in Fatal Journey because it felt too sloppy for JGY to leave such a loose end especially in a canon where he and NHS have a longer history. I like to think of the Headshaker moniker as a more calculated thing started by JGS & JGY and then embraced by NHS when he learned the truth). It’s mostly things like Nie brothers’ mothers thoughts (like whether or not NHS mother was a concubine or a second legitimate wife - I have not fully decided on this yet) or Nie Zonghui is a cousin from a branch of the family that specializes in dual sabers (but this branch is not doing well because dual saber cultivation is even more difficult) (I also probably adopt a lot of headcanons from other people because they are all so good!)

I’m also wondering about Jin headcanons these days, because I realized I actually really love Jin Zixuan and his princely peacock ways. (I’m convinced his mother was responsible for 99% of his education and it just included regular lectures of ‘if you turn out like your father, I will end you’ and intentionally surrounding him with smart badass women like Mianmian to make that lesson sink in)

And Boueibu was my main fandom a few years ago haha. It’s a nickname for ‘Binan Koukou Chikyuu Boueibu LOVE’ (Cute High Earth Defense Force LOVE) - an anime parody of Sailor Moon-type magical girl shows, where the main characters are all pretty high school boys, their mentor is a pink alien wombat, the monsters are themed around things like chopsticks or chest hair, and no one has any enthusiasm for any of this save the world LOVE stuff except the wombat. Despite the silly premise, the show has good characters and a lot of heart. Highly recommend it if you enjoy magical girl shows and/or parodies of them :)

(sorry this got really rambly)

#sorry I tend to ramble a lot #especially if its about headcanons and character interpretations ^^''#i honestly do wonder what the Jin would have looked like under JZX because he strikes me as someone who is a good person and good father/hu #but not really a good leader and easily manipulated by more self-interested clan members #plotdesigner #also I have this one weird headcanon I am trying to do something with that is Wen Mao married his youngest daughter #to the son of the Nie clan founder (or the founder himself idk) as a political alliance #and also as the first one to formally recognize that this butcher founded a cultivation sect #and that the Wen is actually one of the most progressive sects and even more recognizing of merit than the Nie... they're just also evil #and that Wen Zhuliu has a similar backstory to JGY. Except once the Wen recognized him he became 1000% loyal #and never once thought about anything else. Shame the Wen are evil #honestly Meng Yao wouldn't it have been SO MUCH BETTER for everyone if you'd done the same for NMJ #who also recognized you and would promote you as much as possible #but no you wanted gold and cinnabar and a old tub of lard for a father
