A LA MEME. MDZS, Really nice guy who hates only you, hate at first sight?

It was totally inappropriate for a corpse to be popular.

But there it was: the Ghost General was more well-liked every day. He seemed to spend all his time wandering around rescuing maidens from monsters and lifting wagons off of old men. In a few years he'd be a hero of the people.

Even the cultivation world didn't expect harm from him anymore. Most of Jin Ling's peers addressed the corpse as qianbei; Jin Ling didn't, but he seemed to get on with him well enough.

Jiang Cheng hadn't actually said out loud, when he saw Wen Qionglin parting ways with Sect Leader Jin with an exchange of polite salutes, he killed your father, but he'd looked it. Jin Ling, fluent in Jiang Cheng's expressions, sighed.

"It was an accident," he said. "And he's apologized. And, you know, uncle, he was held prisoner by Jin Sect almost my entire life, you can't say he hasn't paid for it. And..."

And they had killed his whole family. And his older sister.

Jiang Cheng looked away. "Huh."

When Jiang Cheng had made his first, clumsy attempt at mending a little of the gruesome breach between himself and Wei Wuxian, the Ghost General had been there, glaring daggers at him from behind the Yiling Laozu.

It had been more disconcerting than it should have been, and Jiang Cheng had stumbled, interrupted himself, and fallen silent enough times that eventually Wei Wuxian had taken pity on him, reached out, patted him on the arm one time, said, "Good talk, Jiang Cheng," and extricated them both from the situation.

Freed from the burden of conversation, he'd returned Wen Qionglin's glare, and lost. Corpses didn't need to blink.

He didn't want the bastard to like him. Which was just as well since it was out of the question. Jiang Cheng had never for a second in his life liked Wen Qionglin; from the first time he'd laid eyes on him when they were youths he'd interpreted him as a pathetic, burdensome coward, and despised him for it.

Owing the man his life had made it worse--he hadn't even wanted to be saved, and it was Wei Wuxian's stupid horrible charm and habit of interfering where he wasn't wanted that had done it, and like hell had he owed anything, when that person's family had murdered his. (I owe him nothing, he'd told himself once, because Wen Qionglin had been the reason he lost Wei Wuxian.)

Another time, he found himself in both their company and drew apart, letting the Yiling Patriarch and the Ghost General play at being mentors to the youth. Neither of you lived to see twenty-five, he wanted to shout. What do you think you have to teach them?

Even Jin Ling...it made him furious. Furious to glance over and see a corpse's stiff face conveying softness.

Furious to look past the crowd and see Lan Wangji's eyes falling on Wen Qionglin with an unmistakable resentment. And to know that it wasn't the stiff propriety of the Lan Wangji of their youths, objecting to the heresy of that fierce corpse's existence; that it was the look of a petty, jealous man resenting the way Wei Wuxian knocked his shoulder together with the Ghost General's and laughed.

"Where do you get off hating Wen Ning?" he asked the next time he found himself alone with Lan Wangji. It was a stupid thing to ask, but if he let himself think about how they were threshing through the underbrush looking for Wei Wuxian, about the last time they had looked for Wei Wuxian together...

Lan Wangji ignored him.

Jiang Cheng snorted. "Okay. So maybe you don't hate him. But he likes you! He's so deferential it makes me want to puke."

Lan Wangji favored him with the merest hint of a sneer, just enough to show he was listening to Jiang Cheng talk.

"You're disgusting," said Jiang Cheng. "Do you really think he shouldn't have anyone but you in his life? That he's your property?"

Lan Wangji's stride broke. It was a triumph, in a way--Jiang Cheng had never thrown him so badly in all the years they'd known each other.

"Each man judges others by his own heart," said Lan Wangji, thick with contempt, and then he was walking ahead with pointed rapidity, determined to separate from Jiang Cheng, until staying together would have meant chasing after him, and Jiang Cheng turned and went the other way, muttering blackly.

In the end, fittingly, neither of them caught up in time to be of use. Wen Ning, with his homing sense for Wei Wuxian, had shown up out of who the fuck knew where and bailed him out.

Jiang Cheng stumbled upon the haunted spring just in time to see a sodden, bedraggled Wei Wuxian launch himself away from his pet Wen's supportive arm and fling himself against the upright form of Hanguang-jun, which bent around him with a reverent murmur.

Jiang Cheng was already turning away in disgust to head back home, hating that he'd let himself be dragged into this, when he heard Lan Wangji say with careful, solemn deliberation: "Thank you, Wen Qionglin. For taking care of him."

Jiang Cheng glanced back against his will to see the Ghost General saluting deeply, wide-eyed, infinitely humble, his murmur that it was nothing special, Hanguang-jun, nearly drowned out by Wei Wuxian's delighted shouting about how good his Lan Zhan was and how much Wen Ning deserved to be appreciated.

Jiang Cheng walked away.

Wen Qionglin wasn't rude to him. Not in any way you could point at. And he knew full well he'd be making an ass of himself if he tried to pick a verbal fight.

After all, they had killed Wen Qionglin's older sister.

The whole cultivation world had done it, but only Jiang Cheng had done it after Wen Qionglin saved his life. He'd told himself he owed no debt for that, and perhaps he hadn't, but the fact remained: of the two of them, one had been brave and virtuous and earned the loyalty of Wei Wuxian.

And one of them had been pathetic, a coward, a burden.

Jiang Cheng could never look at the man without seeing the look in his dead eyes across the length of Suibian.

Jiang Cheng had never been good at lying to himself, especially if the lie was meant to be comforting. He always tried it anyway. Comforting lies used to sound so true, in Wei Wuxian's mouth; he should never have gotten into the habit of relying on that. To letting that person think Jiang Cheng was someone who needed to be swaddled in falsehoods to give him the strength to bear up under his own duties.

Wen Qionglin was a kind, gentle, courageous dead body, shy and courteous and increasingly appreciated for his virtues, in this strange new world created in the wake of Jin Guanyao's disgrace. And whenever his eyes fell on Jiang Cheng they were cold, hard, flat, contemptuous.

Every time he looked at him Jiang Cheng could nearly hear him thinking, like a cold wind against the back of his neck: I should have left you in that heap of corpses with the rest of your family.

What are you worth, Jiang Wanyin, that so many should be spent in saving you? That Wei Wuxian would drag us all into the shadow of death to make you whole, only for you to turn your face aside when it was me lying there, and let him die for us without lifting a finger?

Selfish, whining coward. If only I had left you there to die.

If only, Jiang Cheng imagined spitting back, anger hot and bracing in his throat. If only! I never asked for any of it! How dare you expect me to repay you!

But Wen Qionglin never spoke any of the words out loud. He only looked, cold dead flat black eyes. A frozen river. Sometimes Jiang Cheng thought that if he lashed out hard enough he would break a hole in the ice, and be devoured whole.

#ask #hoc est meum #ramblebrambleamble #jiang cheng is projecting like a drive-in movie theater here to be clear #like he's not wrong that he is wen ning's least favorite living human being #but wen ning also doesn't generally think this hard about it lmao #or like about him at all if he doesn't have to #mdzs #jiang cheng #wen ning #ask game #reverse tropes #really nice guy who hates only you #this is like the opposite energy from my previous fill for the same prompt alkflkj;#writing #my fic #fanfic #realized these 'mini fics' are long enough to need a cut woop

Another Fucking Fix-It AU Because Canon Couldn't Give Them a Break

So my friend- the same one I was DMing when feral time traveler Lan Xichen popped into my head- who introduced me to this series said “you’re not gonna be able to think about anything else” and fuck you @adoni-pike1261 for being right.

Now *cracks knuckles* I’m actually going to be writing a corresponding fic for this, but it’s still fair game, I love seeing other people’s interpretations of my work be it other fics, fanart, memes, anything.

Thusly I present: Ghost Wei Wuxian AU.

Wei Wuxian dies.

Wei Wuxian comes back as an extremely powerful ghost, haunting- of all people- Jin Ling.

AU under the cut

So Jin Ling grows up with his cool ghost friend Wei Ying! Wei Ying is really cool, and super powerful, and knows all sorts of stuff about monsters and talismans and cultivation, and sometimes he just invents things on the spot. For fun. He's the coolest. And he's sticking around because Jin Ling's mother told him to.

He knew her. And his father. He knew them both.

Wei Wuxian swore an oath to his dying sister to keep her son safe, and this is how he keeps it; reminding the kid to eat, and sleep, and take it easy on himself. He plays translator for Jiang Cheng and teaches A-Ling everything he wants the kid to know.

Jin Ling loves Wei Ying. He messes with Jiujiu's hair if he's not paying attention to him, and he says Jin Ling is a Jiang and that means he can do anything. He tells him to live for justice and to love as much as he possibly can.

Jin Ling tells people he loves them. Wei Ying is his godfather, he named him (Jiujiu never told him that) and Wei Ying says to him one bright summer day to tell people if he loves them. You won't have the chance to do that one day, and one day might be tomorrow, so take that chance while you have it.

So Jin Ling tells everyone he loves that he loves them. He still grows up maladjusted and moody and angry but for this one thing that Jiang Cheng for the life of him cannot figure out. Whenever they part, Jin Ling's last words to him are always I love you.

Wei Ying gets sad sometimes, but not like Jiujiu gets sad. Jiujiu gets sad and hides with anger- Wei Ying gets sad and hides it with happy, or just plain hides. Wei Ying says Jiujiu is grieving, he hasn't moved on from his sister, and privately Jin Ling thinks Wei Ying must not have either.

Wei Ying is his godfather, his favorite teacher in the whole wide world, his ghost friend who promised his mother he would keep Jin Ling safe.

Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian is the Yiling Patriarch. Wei Wuxian killed his parents, raised the dead, bringer of hell and master of puppets and in a realm of nothing but evil Wei Wuxian reigns king.

Jin Ling doesn't actually remember what did it, in the end. Which idle remark lined up too perfectly with history lessons, or who said some random little fact, but in the end he's twelve when he realizes that Wuxian was a courtesy name and Wei Ying looks exactly like him.

This is how Jin Ling learns that the man who's saved his life too many times to count (and he always ran when his godfather asked, he never wondered how he got rid of so many monsters-) is the same man who destroyed it in the first place.

He wants to hate him. He tries to hate him.

He can't. The Jiangs say attempt the impossible- not achieve it. He attempted it. He failed.

Wei Wuxian is Wei Ying, and Wei Wuxian is suddenly, uncomfortably human. He lost everything, and he lost everything first, before anyone else lost everything to him.

Wei Wuxian is the only person who tells stories about Jin Ling's parents. He never forgave himself, he never moved on, but still Jin Ling remembers his ghost plastering on a smile and telling him about how his mother fished Jiujiu out of a river.

Jin Ling turns thirteen and starts asking his godfather about the Sunshot Campaign, and what the hell even happened to set it off anyways. Wei Wuxian tells him amidst archery practice, and Jin Ling is fifteen years old when Wei Wuxian smiles- a real smile, a proud smile, tinged with nothing but that pride, no sadness, no melancholy- and tells him he just surpassed his father and Wei Wuxian both.

Jin Ling is sixteen when Wei Wuxian vanishes, and he is still sixteen when he finds him again and meets Wen Ning who was set up but is still kind of the guy who killed his dad (it's a mess) and then Jiujiu asks him who his new friend is, and Jin Ling answers truthfully.

"He's my favorite teacher and he's saved my life too many times to count."

Then the mask comes off and there's a lot of shouting. Like. A lot of shouting. Then it turns out that Wei Wuxian and Hanguang-jun are a two pack, and Jin Ling gains an uncle, a couch to crash on when his family is being his family, and the ability to spend way too much time at Cloud Recesses with Sizhui and Jingyi.

Sizhui who is Wen Yuan.

...

Eh. Wen Ning is cool. He's glad Sizhui has a cool uncle to offset his disaster dads.

For the minific ask meme: Jiang Yanli and U. coming home.

So… I LOVE this prompt. Thank you !!! What i wanted to do with this took a few brain jumps. First, i wanted a story about soup and about Yanli feeling like her role is to use soup to stabilize everything and heal. Then, i thought about writing a dark Yanli that haunts JC -- but that’s so OOC I decided not to go there. Finally I settled on this. It has been in my head for over a month, trying to figure out how I want to write this. Thank you for your patience!

Earth Offical’s Pardoning

Rated G

Word Count: 1213 (+/- 5 because I never let things be)

Content: cql compliant not other adaptations/novel compliant, canonical characters being dead, family feels, sad JC, baby!jin ling, mention of food because when do i not mention food?, holidays, visiting people, watching her child growing up, childhood development milestones

----

Zhongyuan Festival. Earth Offical’s Pardoning. The fifteenth day of the seventh month. On this day, the doors of the underworld opened and Jiang Yanli found herself walking hand-in-hand with her husband towards the world of the living.

They traveled first to Carp Tower. Zixuan wanted to unite with their son and his family before seeing A-Cheng. Their gossamer forms breezed over the tower stairs and into the main complex. The small lotus pond Zixuan had built for her was abandoned -- brown lotus stems and dried lily pads stuck out of drier ground.

Zixuan squeezed her hand and they headed towards his family’s Ancestral Hall. Jin Guangyao was in the midst of orchestrating a grand ceremony to honor the ancestral spirits. Jin Ling could not be found. Zixuan stepped before his still grieving mother, knelt, kowtowed thrice with tears in his eyes. He then stood up and tried to comfort her with intangible hands; they trailed over her shoulders and cupped around her face. Jiang Yanli bit her lip and looked away.

After half a shichen of listening to insufferable ceremonies, Jiang Yanli grew impatient. Zixuan noticed her anxious hands and returned by her side. Jiang Yanli took her husband’s hand, “Let’s go see A-Cheng and Ling’er.”

Together they folded the fabric of existence and stepped over to Lotus Pier. Crossing the threshold, they flew over the familiar lotus motif of the training grounds, straightened and then landed before the sword practice hall. Walking down the wooden corridors, Jiang Yanli traced her fingers through the hated cracks and scorch marks left from the Sunshot Campaign. A-Cheng kept them intentionally, persevering their appearance. They served to motivate the new disciples, to guide people in righteousness, and to remind everyone what the sect had once lost.

She glided along the familiar winding paths, missing the way wood once felt beneath her feet. She loved the twists and turns, like life, like rivers, like fate. There was something comforting to the seemingly inefficient corridors of her childhood home. Zixuan trailed behind, commenting occasionally on the beauty of said home.

A few lotus species remained in bloom in the late summer. Jiang Yanli and Jin Zixuan stopped to admire the multi-layered ombre hues; their bodies hovering over the flowers, their hands failing to make the flowers waver at their touch.

When they finally stepped into the Jiang Sect Ancestral Hall, Jiang Yanli realized Lotus Pier had been strangely devoid of people this entire time. Had A-Cheng sent everyone else away?

A pot of Lotus root and pork rib soup, plates of sweet and fragrant pastries, fresh fruit, and fresh lotus pods were set out as offerings for Jiang Yanli, for her parents, and for the other ancestors. A-Cheng sat at the edge of the lotus altar, as she often did after their parents’ death. Ling’er squirmed in A-Cheng’s left arm as his left hand held a wooden tablet. His right hand was pointing at the text on the tablet -- the tablet with her name.

“A-Ling, this is my Jiejie, your mother. She was the most amazing person. I hope you grow up to be strong, kind, and intelligent, just like her,” A-Cheng said as he bounced Ling’er on one knee, his voice cracking as he spoke.

Zixuan let go of her hand and she lunged forward, wrapping her arms around her little brother and her child. Shortly after, Zixuan sat down next to her and held his hand out to caress their toddler son. They had missed so many months of his infancy.

“Ling-er is so big now. He has gotten half again as big as he was when I last saw him,” Zixuan said.

Jiang Yanli hovered her hand over her child’s head, “He babbles now. I wonder who he talks to. Is the wetnurse good for him? Does he have friends? Is he lonely? Is there someone to respond to his babbling?” Her vision blurred as she blinked back tears.

The two of them sat by A-Cheng and Ling’er, watching A-Cheng play with the boy and teach the boy. Who would bet someone with as deadly a title as Sandu Shengshou would be so gentle with a child?

Ling’er became fussy and A-Cheng set him down. The baby pulled himself up by A-Cheng’s robes and reached up to ask for A-Cheng’s hand.

“You can do this yourself,” A-Cheng responded gently and shooed Ling’er away from him.

Ling’er’s bottom lip quivered.

“I know you can walk if you try. Look, I’ll catch you if you fall, ok? But at least try. Maybe your parents are here. It would be nice if they were around to see you take your first steps.”

A-Cheng picked up Ling’er, stood up, and set Ling’er next to the altar for stability. Then he took 3 large steps back, squatted down, and motioned for the baby.

Jiang Yanli and Jin Zixuan watched, captivated by the two of them. Would they really be so lucky to witness their child’s first steps today?

Ling’er reached for his uncle. He took a few steps balanced against the altar and then pushed off. A step, two steps, and then teetered forward. Zidian flew out and caught the child. “A-Ling, good job! If only your mother were here, she would be so proud of your first steps!”

Jin Zixuan yelled, “Zidian! A vicious spiritual weapon was just used on our baby! What is your brother thinking? That’s dangerous!”

Jiang Yanli smiled, “A-niang taught us how to walk like this. Zixian knows bloodlines and the owner’s intent. It can be as steady as a banister while feeling more gentle than a dandelion puff.”

They spent the rest of their day with A-Cheng. They watched Ling’er be fed, be held, be coddled. They watched A-Cheng patiently teaching, softly holding, and playfully carrying the boy. Ling’er clung to A-Cheng and A-Cheng to Ling’er. Afterall, they were the closest blood relatives each other had.

Time flew and night fell. A-Cheng took Ling’er to the market on the docks. Jiang Yanli knew the day was ending; her time here was ending. A-Cheng purchased a violet and gold lotus with nine intricate petals and a candle shaped like a lotus pod. He set Ling’er down and handed the lantern to the boy.

“Hold.”

Ling’er took the lantern by a corner, waved it, and dropped it to play with the lotus pod candle that fell out. Jiang Yanli felt Zixuan’s arm around her waist squeeze her close. If they were still part of the living, watching her brother and her child bond like this would be bliss.

A-Cheng picked up the lantern, took Ling’er’s hands and set the candle inside. He then lit the wick with his spiritual energy. The light from the flame flickered, casting violet and gold shadows over the uncle and nephew duo who belonged to the sects of violet and gold.

A-Cheng swooped Ling’er into an arm and gently set the lantern in the water with his free hand. Jiang Yanli and Jin Zixuan felt themselves drawn towards the lotus lantern. They held each other close and watched A-Cheng walk away with Ling’er towards Lotus Pier. They stood in place but the pull of the lantern carried them away. Lotus Pier slowly faded as they returned to the Earth Offical’s realm.

Notes:

So… there are 3 [something]-yuan festivals. Shang means upper. Zhong means middle. Xia means bottom. They all have an associated saying: for Shangyuan Festival, Heaven Offical’s Blessing (yes, like the title of the novel); for Zhongyuan Festival, Earth Offical’s Pardoning; for Xiayuan Festival, Water Offical’s Salvation. (uh… I chose salvation here because the chinese means relieving/saving from distress/suffering).

I don’t like the sound of A-Ling, so i went with Ling’er. I think JC would try to keep his sister’s naming convention and stick with A-Ling… but I also think Yanli might call Jin Ling Ling’er, especially since er can mean child. E.g. Ying’er LITERALLY means infant so uh… WWX probably didn’t get that name for a reason. XD Though i can see gremlin CSSR calling him that…

Yes, Jin Ling is too young to walk. Maybe JC feeds him spiritual energy when he plays with the baby and so Jing Ling developed a bit faster? IDK. I wanted the story to be set on the Zhongyuan Festival so I fudged childhood development a little. I can also see Jiang Cheng intentionally trying to make Jin Ling do things younger so he can be “better than” or “beat” WWX at things… :/

I think this is only a little sad? Or it starts off sad and ends on an ok note? I’m curious to see what people think

Fanfiction gray blue eyes

Jin Ling noticed that he was spending a lot of time with Ouyang Zizhen when he was walking his dog and a pretty boy whistled him loudly.

N/A: Idk what I’m doing, I just saw memes about Jin Ling x Lan Jingyi and I fell in love with the ship haha. A-Yuan is a Wen in this AU.

For the #CultivaTober2020, sorry if my English sucks.

Day 21: Calamity .

Jin Ling noticed he was spending a lot of time with Ouyang Zizhen when he was walking the dog in the nearest park, his uncle Jiang Cheng was sick of viewing him all day in bed just because his only friend isn't in the city for the weekend.

"Get out the house and do something!" he yelled at him after the lunch.

A fucking winter Sunday’s afternoon.

What the hell?

Jin Ling was considerating go the weekends to uncle Jin Guangyao's house. Uncle Cheng has been his favorite uncle since he has memory, but sometimes the man is too intense for someone like him and uncle Yao was more chill than him. He wouldn't judge him because he wanted to stay in his room because he was bored without his best friend around.

After all, Ouyang Zizhen is his childhood friend. So every time he isn’t here annoying Jin Ling with his fanfics or fandom wars, Jin Ling has nothing better to do.

Pathetic, he knows.

But who cares?

Jin Ling never was good doing friends in first place, but he liked Zizhen kind personality when they met in Rusong's birthday and when his uncle Yao encouraged him to befriend with the other boy they became inseparable.

At first, it made happy his uncle Chen, who was delighted with the idea that his nephew would have a good friend after his parents death.

Now, Jin Ling didn't know if his uncle Cheng was annoyed that Zizhen was his only friend or what.

Rusong doesn't count as a friend, he is family. His only cousin.

Perhaps he should talk to this guy who lives the next block and ignore his uncle Cheng advice to not talk with that neightboors, he liked his black leather bomber jacket and quiet personality. Plus they go to the same school, they shares English, History and Sports classes. Even Teacher Lan Qiren loved the guy.

Well, Teacher Lan Qiren liked everyone but Jin Chan.

Jin Ling was pondering about this match when he noticed that Fairy destroyed the lotus pond in garden again. Crap.

Uncle Cheng will kill him.

"Sometimes I don't know if you love me or you hate me." Mumbled Jin Ling as he takes Fairy with him, looking around before to go outside the house.

Unfortunatelly, Wen Yuan wasn’t at home when he passed out of his house.

You could notice this because the house was silent as a crypt, usually when Wen Yuan or his Dad were in the house someone played the flute and other instruments all day. Jin Ling swears he could hear them from his room sometimes.

Geez the man was musician or something like that.

However, he decided to go to the park. Hoping the snow could cover Fairy’s calamity before his uncle Cheng noticed anything. His uncle would love dogs dearly, but it was his lotus pond.

Uncle Cheng loved that lotus pond.

Jin Ling sigh, suspecting that the park was less crowded at this hour.

He wasn’t a fan of winter, neither the snow. Cold was burning his cheeks and Fairy paws, but Jin Ling take the route to the south where were stablished places for dogs. Yet the dog-friendly drinking fountains were already frozen, he knew this place was beautiful in Spring, but now were just the trees and the snow. Not fragrant flowers around.

Yunmeng was so different in winter, thought Jin Ling. Lost in thoughts when someone whistles at him loudly.

Jin Ling twitched.

He looked over at the sound, a part of him was offended while the other really liked what he saw. A pretty boy wearing running at him, wearing white clothes and blue headphones hanging in the neck. Gods, the boy had the most glossy black hair that Jin Ling has ever seen in his life. He just couldn’t stop noticing the perfect way than an hair bangs framed his handsome features and those fanfiction gray blue eyes… Damn Zizhen! Fucking fanfics he read all day!

Nevermind. He was rude.

“Excuse me?"

The pretty boy frowned, blushing when he noticed the misunderstanding and said "Sorry, I didn't wanted to... that was for your dog!"

What?

Jin Ling looked at Fairy and cocked an eyebrow.

Well, people liked huskies a lot. Since his uncle Yao give him a dog for his birthday, he always get stopped by people who wanted to pet Fairy when he go to walk his dog.

“Really?”

"Yeah." The pretty boy said as a beautiful smile rested easily on his lips when he whistled again at Fairy and the dog just wagged the tail friendly.

Fuck, even Fairy liked him.

“Maybe it could be rude from me, but would you let me pet your dog?” He asked, using all his charms when he looked right into Jin Ling's eyes.

Jin Ling tried to control his heart, but he couldn't.

Why is my heart racing? He wondered. He couldn't fall in love at first sight, right?

“You don’t have to do if you don’t want it.” Added the boy, noticing his uncomfortable behavior.

”I don’t mind, go ahead."

The pretty boy didn't hesitate to bent and stroke Fairy's ears, enjoying the fluffy fur. "She is so fluffy. What's her name?"

"Fairy."

"That's a cute name for a dog, did you chose it?"

If Jin Ling didn't fell already for his fanfiction grey blue eyes, he fell in that moment. "Actually, it was my uncle idea."

"Seems like your uncle has an original way to name dogs."

Jin Ling grinned.

He was going to say something more when a voice interrumpted them, breaking the spell.

“A-Yi, we are leaving!”

“Ugh, that's my Dad. See you next time!” He said as he got up and runned to the other side of the park, but Jin Ling wasn't sure if he was talking to him or his dog.

The pretty boy waved bye into distance, smiling.

But Jin Ling don’t waved bye back, he was this skilled with people.

Specially with the people that he liked.

. 　 · ✦

His phone beeps that night.

Zizhen was bored, he knew that. Zizhen didn’t get along with the sons of his father’s friends in the parties.

Jin Ling read the message, raising an eyebrow.

Zizhen:

Missing your grumbling ass ︶︿︶

. 　 · ✦

For wednesday, Jin Ling can’t stop thinking about those fanfiction gray blue eyes or the kissable lips. He had this awful feeling like a hundred of golden butterflies were flying in his stomach every time he thought about the pretty boy in the park.

Gods, he became this such of weirdo.

Sure Zizhen will have a good laugh at his expense when he noticed that his friend had a big fat crush on a pretty boy named A-Yi.

Well, it wasn’t a name. But it was something.

His crush was so overwhelming that he decided went to Wen Yuan house without knowing what he could talk with the guy, they barely knew each other. Maybe Jin Ling didn’t wanted to talk much and just needed Wen Yuan’s Dad loud music so he can’t hear his own thoughts about how that pretty boy made him feel.

When he went inside the house, Wen Yuan’s Dad looked surprised that his boy take a someone at home. He even stopped drinking alcohol before to talk.

He introduced himself with a bright smile “Wei Wuxian. Wine?”

“Dad, please no.”

“A-Yuan, your friend needs it more than me”, Wei Wuxian pointed his face. “Look at him! He seems too devastated to be that young.”

Jin Ling frowned, understanding why his uncle Cheng told him to no talk with the neighbour in first place.

He was so gross.

“Okay, okay. Your old man wouldn’t shaming you in front of your boyfriend.”

“Oh my God, Dad. Why are you like this??” Yuan blushed, really ashamed while his father seemed to have a good laugh at his own son expense.

“Forgive your old man, little radish. Old habits never dies.”

Yuan put a hand to his face. “Sorry, Jin Ling. I swears he’s not like that all the time.”

“I'm going to pretend that I don't hear it.” Jin Ling mumbled, without knowing if he was going to regret coming to Wen Yuan house or not.

“I got the feeling that your face was familiar, are you A-Cheng’s boy?”

The question caught Jin Ling off guard.

“Do you know my uncle?”

“He never talked about me?? What a friend!” He complained, taking another sip of wine “We were childhood friends, best friends actually.”

Jin Ling doubted, seriously.

However, later Wei Wuxian show him an old photo where a younger version of himself was here with Jin Ling's mother and uncle. It were just the three of them, smiling at the camera in Jin Ling's grandparents house.

Jin Ling looked at the photo, admiring how pretty was his mom at that age.

The three of them seemed so happy that Jin Ling wondered what happened, why he didn’t knew this man and why his uncle Cheng told him never speak a word with him.

And for a moment, his mind stop thinking about some fanfiction gray blue eyes.

Well, until monday when he went to school and the Teacher Lan Qiren introduced a new student. The pretty boy, Lan Jingyi.

Fuck, he had a crush on Lan Qiren grandson.

He was really fucked.

sad ship thoughts: the implicit power imbalance even before wn turned into wwx's fierce corpse is indeed unfortunate lol

annoying fanfic things: stop woobifying wen ning this is a grown adult dead man wtf lmao

fanfic things i look for: i actually don't read much fic of them bc it often ends up with lwj being mixed in and i'm not a fan of that poly ship lol

if not endgame, then with who?: wangxian obv but also i GREATLY enjoy cheng.ning lol

my happily ever after for them: they get to travel all over and then come home to their farm where wen ning also treats ppl at :(((

big spoon/little spoon: it's more like wen ning lays on his back and wwx just flops over on top of him during the night lol

their favorite non-sexual activity: they teach each other medical things/how to make medicine/etc and also they enjoy hanging out with sizhui and telling him about his past :,)

and now: SANG.CHENG MY BELOVEDSSSSSSSSSSS

when i started shipping it: i fell in complete love with jiang cheng then then after like 3 appearances from nhs i was like Ah, This Is The One

my thoughts: IT'S A LEGIT GOOD SHIP the insane potential for comedy....the insane potential for them to just be fuckin asshole sect leaders together.....the fact that there's canon history between them that really lends to them really being able to work well with each other........AND the fact that they'd be the best dressed out of everyone <333

happy ship thoughts: they do get married and become the most insane power couple the cultivation world has ever witnessed. like yeah sure wang.xian's love is the stuff of legends, but these two sect leaders can get shit done while smooching at the same time

sad ship thoughts: i.......still haven't figured out their whole living situation after marriage/long-term dating lmaooo rip

annoying fanfic things: ppl really love feminizing nhs to the point where it ain't even him anymore, just to force him into the 'female' role of this relationship and i have had ENOUGH

fanfic things i look for: i don't read as much anymore as i used to but i love the slice-of-life fics and anything where jin ling was featured lmao

if not endgame, then with who?: hmmmmm i know i said cheng.ning earlier but sang.cheng is the it one for me so if not that then. well!

my happily ever after for them: jin ling officially has an uncle in every sect once they get married, and nhs has (unfortunately?) gained like four nephews <333

big spoon/little spoon: they switch lol if either of them try to force being the big spoon then they will fight until someone gives in (when it happens naturally tho it's most often nhs being held)

their favorite non-sexual activity: they read to each other. they swim at lotus pier. they wrestle in the unclean realm. they roll their eyes at each other across the room during cultivation meetings. there's so many bc nhs loves indulging himself and jiang cheng is quietly marveled by how much nhs genuinely enjoys spending time with him <3

#these are actually probs my top two pairings so maddie you nailed it lmaoo #ask

If jingyi is adopted by nielan, sizhui is wangxian’s child, and Jin Ling is Jc’s ward plus biologically and legally jc and WWX’s nephew. Does that mean these kids can post a “we be irritatin’” meme but instead it’s “we be cousins.”

oh yes absolutely. this family dynamic is making my lose my Mind with how many uncles there are like it's hard to comprehend. because jin ling notoriously has a lot of uncles but now he has more... bonus uncles. wei wuxian and jiang cheng (and jin guangyao but he's ugly and dead and mo xuanyu but he's pretty and dead) are his uncles but by marriage nie huaisang and lan wangji are also his uncles and, technically, so are lan xichen and nie mingjue via being his uncles husbands brothers (you're not having a stroke that's a real sequence of words that means things, unfortunately) and THEY'RE married so like. uncle². and it's like that for All Of Them just slightly shifted depending on who the kids parents are. I've helpfully provided this graphic to make things "simpler":

if this incredibly comprehensible and well made infographic doesn't help, let me brake it down character by character:

lan sizhui:

his parents are wei wuxian and lan wangji, which means that jiang cheng (wei wuxians brother) and lan xichen (lan wangjis brother) are his direct uncles and jiang yanli (wei wuxians sister) is his direct aunt. if jiang cheng (in this au) is married to nie huaisang, then nie huaisang is lan sizhuis uncle by marriage, if lan xichen is married to nie mingjue, then nie mingjue is also his uncle by marriage, and if jiang yanli is married to jin zixuan, then jin zixuan is ALSO his uncle by marriage. but we're not done! your uncle by marriages brother could also be considered your uncle. don't know what this is called so I'm referring to it as being someones 'second uncle'. nie mingjue is lan sizhuis second uncle because he is nie huaisangs, his uncle by marriage to jiang cheng, brother. the same goes for nie huaisang - he is nie mingjues brother, who is lan sizhuis uncle by marriage to lan xichen. mo xuanyu and jin guangyao would also be considered second uncles. wen ning is a bonus uncle related to nobody else in his family, wen qing is a bonus aunt. if we add this all up, lan sizhui has eight (8!!!) uncles and two aunts

lan jingyi:

his parents (in this au) are lan xichen and nie mingjue, which means that lan wangji (lan xichens brother) and nie huaisang (nie mingjues brother) are his direct uncles. if lan wangji is married to wei wuxian, then wei wuxian is lan jingyis uncle by marriage, and is nie huaisang is married to jiang cheng, then he is also his uncle by marriage. if wei wuxian is lan jingyis uncle by marriage, and jiang cheng is his brother, jiang cheng is his second uncle, and vice versa for wei wuxian. if wei wuxian and jiang cheng are both his uncles by marriage, then their sister, jiang yanli, would be his second aunt, but her husband, jin zixuan, would probably not be considered his uncle in any respect. lan jingyi has four uncles and one aunt

jin ling:

if his parents are jiang yanli and jin zixuan, then wei wuxian and jiang cheng (jiang yanlis brothers), and mo xuanyu and jin guangyao (jin zixuans brothers) would be his uncles directly. if lan wangji is married to wei wuxian, then he is his uncle by marriage. if nie huaisang is married to jiang cheng, then nie huaisang is also his uncle by marriage. jin guangyaos wife, who I cannot for the life of me remember the name of, would be his aunt by marriage (and his direct aunt. unfortunately.) lan xichen is lan wangjis brother, so he would be jin lings second uncle. nie mingjue is nie huaisangs brother, so he would Also be his second uncle. they're married which really does not mean anything familialy but seems like it has extra uncle power. jin ling has eight uncles and one aunt

lan sizhui and jin ling have the same number of uncles total, and all three of them have the same number of "living" uncles, but lan sizhui has the most "living" direct uncles because of wen ning. they all share two uncles in common: jiang cheng and nie huaisang - perhaps one day they, too, adopt a child, making my graph even more colorful. IMAGINE the family dinners. amazing

I imagine ouyang zizhen, much like myself currently, just sitting on the ground with his head in his hands trying to piece it all together after they explain their family tree to him. he comes to the conclusion that he's happy to be from a smaller clan where this kind of shit doesn't happen. but since he's related to none of them in any way, he could date or marry any of them. I cannot explain the way this possibility and the uncles it would create absolutely shakes me to my core. goodnight

Lan SiZhui for the character thingy?

Thank you!!

How I feel about this character

I love Sizhui with all my heart -- what a pure and loving character <3

I’ve seen some posts around that capture my response to learning his background perfectly: the first 2 episodes of CQL are quite confusing, so this friendly young man was the only one I ended up focussing on: like, I don’t know about the rest, but this one I like! I wasn’t spoiled for the reveal, so when the small flashbacks started hinting at this, I gasped. Seriously, it’s one of my favourite aspects of this story!!

All the people I ship romantically with this character

Nobody, really? I don’t think I ship anyone in CQL apart from Wangxian, haha. I’ve seen some people ship Sizhui with either Jingyi or Jin Ling, but I don’t really feel either of those.

My non-romantic OTP for this character

Junior ducklings for the win! Ouyang Zizhen, Jin Ling, Lan Jingyi, and Lan Sizhui are the best squad. I love love love fics featuring them :D Send all your recs my way, I really want to read them!

My unpopular opinion about this character

I don’t think I have any! Unless it’s saying I didn’t much like his character in The Living Dead? His interactions with Wen Ning were awkward there -- and I do still think he addresses Wen Ning as Uncle, bite me.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon

More night-hunts? More adventures with the junior ducklings? Nothing I can’t find in fics, though, so I’m more than happy with Sizhui’s story in CQL!

For the “Give me a character” meme!

#ask game #lan sizhui #so little to add to this lovely character <3

Hi! if you're still taking Qs for the MDZS : Your three favorite characters? , What’s your OTP? , You can bring one character back to life, but you must pick someone else to die in their place. Would you do it? How would this affect the story? and If you could make one major story change, what change would you make? Why?

I still am! if very belatedly! Please excuse how long this took xD

1. top three characters

nie huaisang, wen ning, and nie minjgue!

2. otp

this is really hard, since there’s so many good ships but - I’m attempting to cobble together a raft for Sangning, despite them not really interacting in canon, on account of:

> looks like a cinnamon roll, could kill someone meets could kill someone, looks like a cinnamon roll. they both disagree on which one of them is which cinnamon roll.

> little brothers who go hard RIGHTS

> imagine the potential hilarity of if they had an ill advised hook up at the cloud recesses or the wen indoctrination camp, half out of a mutual thirst for wei wuxian that neither of them was having luck with and half out of a mutual fuck you wen chao alliance, which they promptly realize they can never talk about or their siblings’ reactions will be more disastrous than the upcoming sunshot campaign

> which means wei wuxian only learns about the ghost general lost half of his virginity to nie huaisang when he finds them six months post canon, letting the juniors take over a fancy restaurant in qinghe and getting along much better than he ever anticipated

“nie huaisang, did you fuck my best friend??”

“i mean, you didn’t?”

(putting the other two under a cut for major spoilers)

3. bring someone back and kill someone else off

i know that mo xuanyu is the thesis statement for the ongoing theme of ‘who lives who dies who tells your story’, and the ambiguity of how much he knew and how much he was involved in the overall endgame is part of many ambiguities that invite the reader to know more - but on the other hand, i am wildly curious about what he was like (and love seeing every variation of him there is!)

as for my mxy: he’s the best babysitter in koi tower until he gets kicked out, on account of your dinner is ice cream and your bed time is never for his beloved nephews, who he spoils immensely. an isolated childhood with the mos and going straight into koi tower to learn from jgy and xue yang have given him a very loose grip on morals but a very firm grip on loyalty, and although the only life he ultimately takes is his own, he’s devoted to his chosen family and to art of demonic cultivation and his decision to summon wei wuxian is in pursuit of those things.

nie huaisang ends up befriending him on account of ‘holy shit this teenager is this close to a qi deviation what the fuck’ when mxy ends up getting hit with side effects from demonic cultivation, and they end up hitting it off as cutsleeve artists, and later as the fuck you jgy club. he ultimately gets kicked out of koi tower in a grieving rage after rusong’s death, when he decides to try and take out jgy early and. it does not end well.

and so when he’s trapped in his own hometown by his abusive family, mo xuanyu decides that if he’s doomed, he’s taking people with him - and nie huaisang, despite knowing the costs,d espite knowing he would be losing his dear friend -

jin guangyao knows how to recreate the yin tiger seal, and there’s at least one working copy of it floating around. they know that much from mo xuanyu’s time as a jin demonic cultivator. if they want to defeat jin guangyao without massive casualties - if they can’t get it from him, then they need someone who can. someone who can counter the tiger seal.

so, if his ritual...somehow ends in him AND wei wuxian alive - on the one hand, jgy may find out that people are out to get him much sooner, since wwx can’t hide beyind mxy’s name, and there’s the complications of if mxy and nhs can keep their collaboration quiet -

on the other hand. jin ling gets his disaster uncle to clumsily worry over. the juniors get mildly terrorized by two demonic cultivator teachers. xue yang vs mo xuanyu teacher-student bickering while they try and off each other. two demonic cultivators in the lan libraries!

(and mo xuanyu gets his happily ever after. and a little mo family murder as a treat!)

as for kill? su she, probably. “who the fuck is su she” meme, but also - if he’s gone, does jgy have someone else he’s befriended into being his loyal minion? are there other people he would have cultivated a relationship with? or were the circumstances of their friendship unique? su she’s devotion to jgy is obvious and a little heartbreaking, (something something parallels to wen ning), - and jgy obviously likes him enough to rescue him in the temple, but how much of that is because he’s useful and how much is because of genuine friendship?

4. one major story change

more on the mxy and nhs team up! there are already some fantastic fanfictions about what exactly was there, but like. hell yeah. (though i do prefer them as a sibling relationship to a romantic one, so we can have yet another traincrash sibling bond broken for parallels. also nhs losing two siblings to jgy... and giving him a good reason to sic his brother’s arm on the mo family other than for The Plan)

alternatively - more on what the wen sibs were doing during the war. we get an implication of punishment in the live action and nothing about consequences for meddling in lotus pier in the book in the book - were they caught at all? were they suspected? what was wen qing like as the supervisor in yiling? was there a field hospital she ran?? did wen ning snipe people as an archer or was he full time doctoring??? I HAVE QUESTIONS
