Reading about the cultural and social importance of bathing throughout Chinese history (because I am exactly the kind of person who spends hours reading about the cultural and social importance of bathing throughout Chinese history for no particular reason on a Tuesday night) and obviously now I'm imagining the sects all lowkey competing with regards to their public baths -- or at least the ones meant for visiting disciples and dignitaries.

The Jin are obviously doing The Most and being incredibly tacky about it. The floor of the bath is made of gold tile that dull super quickly and the whole tub needs to be frequently drained so the tiles can be deep cleaned and polished, and of course once they're shiny they reflect light up and through the water in a way that's actually really distracting. The bath bean has crushed pearls and seventy four different types of flowers in it. The benches are intricately engraved and inlaid with gems in places that pinch your butt when you sit on them.

The Nie have a natural hot spring that they have turned into their main public bath. The massive cavern houses a number of varying-sized pools, some of which interconnect and others of which are freestanding. The free standing pools are typically treated with different soaks to give the water various medicinal properties (most often for things like muscle aches or minor injuries, but also for skincare and such.) I imagine the Nie recipe for bath-bean would include animal fat and pancreas, making it very rich and cleansing.

Part of me wants to say the Jiang would just bathe in the lake but that seems cheap to me, so instead: Through a combination of well-placed pipes and clever array work, the Jiang bath house feels like a mini indoor rainstorm, with water falling in thousands of warm droplets from the ceiling above to fill the pools, which are more shallow that a typical bath would be. There are built-in overhangs you can sit under to get out of the "rain" while still being in the water. If requested the rain can be "turned up" and the lights dimmed, and cymbals crash so you feel like you're really standing out in a raging thunderstorm, which some people find incredibly soothing and others find terrifying. I can't think of anything unique for the bath bean other than lotus flowers but I do think, given the proximity to the river, that mud wraps would be a common treatment offered.

The Lan... probably have the worst public baths, actually. They may not even actually have a public bath at all. If they do have one, it's not meant to be a place of luxury or entertainment, although of course it would be tastefully decorated and comfortable. Rather they'd find some way to make public bathing less about socializing and more about silently meditating while pretending you aren't surrounded by other naked people. I guess the cold springs kind of sort of count as a public bath but not really. Bath bean smells distinctly medicinal, but obviously whatever is in it works, because the Lan all look Like That.

The public bath in Qishan stopped being a popular attraction when Wen Ruohan stopped having visitors, but for years their bath was one hell of a marvel. Massive, bronze statues of phoenixes would be heated until glowing-hot and then lowered into the stone tub, filling the air with thick steam. Patrons would sit around the room on their benches, sweating it out until the statues had cooled enough for the water to be safe to enter. If you wanted a cold bath, the adjoining room was also home to a massive bronze statue, this one of a dragon that sat in the center of the tub and poured cool water out of it's mouth. Bath bean was made with plant ash rather than rice or soybean powder, and the water was all treated with volcanic ash.

And, because I am Me, the Wei sect: I'm imagining a dark hall deep in the cave systems, the floor lined with man made in-ground pools of varying sizes not entirely unlike the Nie baths, however these pools aren't connected to an outside water source or each other. There are illusion arrays carved into the walls that send out glowing, ghostly shapes of fish and otters and other river creatures swimming through the air. The pools are filled through overhead pipes that pour water, oils, and herbal mixtures into the pool, and each pool has access to it's own set of labeled levers, so a person or group of people can customize their bath while they're having it, adding more cool water, hot water, or various add-ins. The bath bean is more of a paste due to the addition of a ton of collagen. (They get it from the kitchen's bone broth. The bones are not human, but that doesn't stop visiting disciples from scaring each other about it. Don't piss off the Yiling Louzu or you'll end up in the soap.)

💙 Hold on to the reason that you stayed by tawaen

💙 Hold on to the reason that you stayed

by tawaen

M, Series, WIP, 62k, Wangxian

Summary: Once, Wen Qing vowed to preserve the lives of others, to rescue all living beings from their sufferings. It's a pity the Jin sect killed her. Now, no vows restrain her. (Two years after her death, the ghost of Wen Qing flees Golden Carp Tower with her brother. They accidentally kidnap Mo Xuanyu on the way out. Then, they set about collecting the scraps of Wei Wuxian's shattered soul.) Kay's comments: This series absolutely gutted me. Like, the end of the main story actually left in tears and it's been a while since I cried over fanfiction. Absolutely loved it, 10/10, would recommend, very cathartic. I loved Wen Qing's POV in the main story, how her anger and her thirst for revenge transformed the story and the cultivation society at large. Everything about this felt very satisfying and I loved how certain minor characters got second chances (via kidnapping) as well. Resentful ghost Wen Qing and martial god Wei Wuxian is such an awesome combination as well and Wangxian in this story were very adorable as well. Excerpt: She uses memories of her family as a bulwark against influence from the tormented yin energy. She needs this energy to become hers... If she fails here, A-Ning will be destroyed. Her family will never be given a proper burial. They will suffer eternally, trapped in the blood pool at the Burial Mounds and left out of the cycle of reincarnation forever. The people responsible will escape their karma. The resentment tries to crush her, wants to influence her and consumer her power, but Wen Qing has an anchor – Wen Ning's eyes widen slightly, and he reaches out to her. Pupils have returned to his eyes. “A-jie...” Her brother is finally conscious. Wen Qing will not fail him, not ever again. She pulls, letting her own will clash against the sentient portions of the power. They have suffered longer, but her resentment is fresh and fully remembered. She is not a fragment. She will not lose herself to them. The spirits go dormant – Wen Qing absorbed all the resentment fueling them. Her hand closes around Wen Ning's. “A-Ning.” She reaches out and brushes his hair out of his face with her other hand. She can actually feel the strands under her fingers. She no longer lingers as an incorporeal apparition, full as she is with resentful energy. “I missed you so much... But we need to leave quickly.” He leans into her touch briefly before nodding and pulling away. As she turns to grab a bag from one of the shelves so she can stow away the shattered pieces of the Yin Tiger Tally, Wen Ning gasps. Which is nearly impossible, since he doesn't breathe. When she looks back, she also releases a gasping sound. Hovering over the broken shards of the Tally, a nearly transparent image of Wei Wuxian flickers. His eyes glow red, as his ghostly image lifts an image of the fully completed Yin Tiger Tally, but then he disappears back to a flicker of ghost flame, fading.

the tiny heir of Yiling Wei

part 1

the clothes wei wuxian was "politely" asked to wear for today's ceremony were itchy and heavy, and he really just wanted to take everything off and jump on a lake. but he has a duty to take care - it's his coronation day, after all, it's important.

the noises around him when he finally stepped out of the main manor felt far and muted, like he was underwater. the sun was bright and blinded him for a moment. his heart kept a quick pace inside his chest, his stomach flipping and knotting tightly, making wei wuxian feel sick. nerves, wen qing said.

he bowed to the other leaders and to his elders, right knuckles pale where they were gripping his sword. he received the hair ornament with a serious face, keeping still as they arranged it on his hair.

it was soon over and he sat on yiling wei sect throne as their rightful leader. the descendent of baoshan sanren finally back home, the tree in the middle of the patio, the leader's tree, full of flowers for once after decades.

people came over to him saying their well wishes, asking things, joking a bit, congratulating wei wuxian.

then it came. they came. the immortals from gusu.

wei wuxian got up, jogging to where lan xichen, the currently leader, was smiling politely, almost softly, at him.

"congratulations, sect leader wei." lan xichen said, voice even and deep "it is a good to see the true heir on his rightful house once again. your parents would be proud."

wei wuxian gulped, willing the tears away.

"thank you, sect leader lan." he bowed "it's good to be back home." although he never lived here before now.

wei wuxian opened his mouth to say something else, something he forgot, but was interrupted when lan xichen chuckled behind his long sleeve and used his head to point to the flag a step behind himself.

for a moment, a quick thought about which prominent disciple was holding the flag passed through, but then the cloth was pushed aside and his breath was taken from him because there, with a soft expression and rich robes, was lan wangji.

"lan zhan." wei wuxian said softly, the brightest of a smile blooming on his face.

lan wangji smiled back, a tiny ray of sunshine, and passed the flag to another disciple beside him, before taking sure steps to his lover and kissing him deeply in front of everyone.

ah, wei wuxian thought, i'm finally home.

#the huge flock of crows and the green fire and the dark aura and the resentment spikes(??)#[megamind voice] PRESENTATION!!!!!!#not art #mdzs #currently looking for backgrounds for the mdzs aa au. involves rewatching parts of the animation and WOAH #sorry he killed and maimed and cannibalized and tortured all those people :/ he looked sexy doing it #the gender stored in the yiling laozu cannot be understated. GOD i wish i could cosplay him #i wish. they couldve put in the wwx/jc reunion in s1e15 :(#jiang cheng my (indecipherable noises)#hes so relieved and happy!!!!!! the reunion scene URGHRGRHRG. genuinely torturing wen chao IS a bonding moment #adn it speaks to the whole horrors of war thing.. when you have nothing left to bond over (because yunmeng burned) you bond over violence #and the fact that it is in THIS scene that its very emphasized how close they are/how much they trust each other/how they grew up together #. ouhhghhhh.#wwx is quipping at him about being a sect leader and jc is complaining about how long he was gone. they are so incredibly severely #traumabonded guys. ugh. also honorable mention to the cql after-lotus-pier-burning scene for being fucking heartbreaking. love you mwah #mdzs spoilers #at this point in time lan “cannot talk about his emotions” wangji and jiang “bitches and complains as affection” cheng and wei “arrogance #and self destructiveness" wuxian are not communicating very well. shocker #to delete l8er

The more I think about this [this post], the more a Yiling Wei Sect AU comes to mind.

Everything plays out mostly the same, but the rumors are true! Wei Wuxian really did start his own sect!

Perhaps the timeline diverges after Qiongqi Path.

Wei Wuxian successfully convinces Wen Ning and Wen Qing not to turn themselves in. They have a sect to run together now! They'll deal with the consequences together.

The siege still happens but it's more evenly matched. Since it was just rumors that wwx started a sect, they were more prepared to fight wwx and wn. Two against many. They didn't expect wwx to have actually skilled disciples! (In my heart of hearts, wwx's disciples would be a bunch of lost, outcasted queer kids he found (think mxy!!) that found a home in his sect)

The siege concludes with casualties on both ends. Both jc, who's leading the siege still, and wwx have newly formed sects. They can't afford to loose much more. It's a draw. Terms and conditions of the draw are to be established.

Meanwhile, the siege is still locked down as the greatest battle in history. Lan disciples come back tired and ragged. Lan Wangji has received his punishment of 33 lashes and is in seclusion.

He is never the wiser if his brother comes in and says wwx lost the siege and is now gone.

In the dead of night Iwj breaks several more rules sneaking out of the Cloud Recesses and heading towards the burial mounds. He has to see wwx's dead body for himself.

He doesn't expect to see a recovering, but mostly okay sect. With just a roughed up, fully alive wwx attending to his disciples.

And when wwx sees Iwj and the state he is in, he comes to the correct conclusion about what happened to him.

This is when I play my uno reverse card.

Instead of Iwj wanting wwx to "come back to Gusu with me” to protect him from the world. We have a wwx wanting lwj to "stay in the burial mounds with me" to protect him from the Lan clan.

It really isn’t fair how rarely Meng Yao shows up in Yiling Wei Sect AUs.

You look at that brilliant man with his murder dimples and his love of event planning and tell me he wouldn’t absolutely thrive as The Yiling Patriarch’s Gay Assistant.

Also not for nothing but nobody in history has ever needed a PR manager more than the Yiling Wei Sect as a whole

After the Drought by Aki_no_hikari

After the Drought

by Aki_no_hikari (@akinohikari)

Gen, 4k, Wangxian

Summary: Point of divergence: chapter75, lwj stays to eat that night… and seeing that they need him, he stays the next day and the next... Driven by feelings and morals, Lan Wangji leaves the Cloud Recesses and his family behind. Fourteen years of hardship later, he comes back as a father and leader. Kay's comments: A sweet canon-divergence story, in which Lan Wangji stays in Yiling with Wei Wuxian and the Wens. A very soft story with a non-linear narrative focussing on what happened then and what is happening now, 14 years later, during Lan Wangji's first visit back to the Cloud Recesses. Excerpt: As soon as they step in, his uncle stands up and looks at him with a closed off expression. Lan Zhan clasps his hands and bows. “Good afternoon, uncle. I am glad to see you in good health.” “Straighten up.” His voice is rougher than he remembers and as he straightens once again he studies his uncle’s face. He still looks much the same, but there are subtle differences that mark the passage of time, small wrinkles around his eyes and a handful of white hairs upon his head and beard. His uncle is doing the same, staring at Lan Zhan’s face as if he were a particularly difficult question.

pov lan wangji, canon divergence, non-linear narrative, wei wuxian creates a sect, yiling wei sect, wei yuan, family feels, happy ending, married lan wangji/wei wuxian, everybody lives, fix-it

Okay okay so, the symbol of Yiling Wei Sect. I realized what it should be.

So like, with the Wen Remnants and the Yiling Laozu; the Qishan Wen had the sun with flames as their symbol, Wei Wuxian wears black and red with flames: the Yiling Wei Sect should have a solar exclipse as their symbol.

Partially to represent the remaining Wens, partially to symbolize that Wei Wuxian's darkness overtook the sun (the Qishan Wens) during the war.

It just feels right. It has the sun and flame symbology I like while also keeping the dark aesthetic needed.
