#Lan Wangji struck gold when it came to siblings or he might have struggled a lot

[jayktoralldaylong]

Two types of Autistic:

Baby Lan Wangji carrying a candle.

Lan Xichen: Lan Zhan, put that down, it'll hurt you.

Lan Zhan stares at Lan Xichen, then the candle. Gently sets it on the ground.

Lan Xichen, pats his head: Good boy Lan Zhan. ^_^

Yin Yu to baby Qi Ying when he sees him carrying a candle: Qi Ying put that down, you'll get burnt.

Quan Yizhen blinks slowly....tries to bite the fire!

Yin Yu: Qi Ying! O_o

Quan Yizhen gets burnt and cries. Yin Yu sighs and treats his burn.

Yin Yu: I told you not to touch that!

Yin Yu gives him hugs and pats. Quan Yizhen stops crying. Quan Yizhen learns that when he gets burnt his Shixiong will give him hugs and pats....... Quan Yizhen tries to eat fire again.

Yin Yu, horrified by this behaviour: Qi Ying! (TT)

Yin Yu, baffled as to why it's so hard to raise this kid when Lan Zhan is so well behaved.

Yin Yu, scolding: Qi Ying if you want hugs then just ask for them. You don't have to bite fire just for hugs. Ask and Shixiong will hug you.

Quan Yizhen, immediately with arms stretched: Shixiong hug me!

Yin Yu hugs him.

Quan Yizhen, excited!: Shixiong hug me!

Yin Yu hugs him more!

Quan Yizhen: Shixiong hug me! Shixiong hug me!

Quan Yizhen proceeds to shamelessly ask for hugs all day long and Yin Yu hugs him every time he asks. Lan Zhan sees this and gets jealous. He wishes he was brave enough to ask for hugs but he's an introvert.

Lan Zhan's fingers curl into himself. He grips robes and lowers his head down in a sulk. He doesn't want to show how disappointed he is. Lan Xichen walks by and notices his body posture.

Lan Xichen: Ah Wangji, would you like a hug? ^_^

Lan Wangji is shocked that he was immediately understood. An angel has appeared before him! He is still shy and looks away.

Lan Xichen, hugs him anyway!: A big hug from brother! ^_^

Lan Wangji feels inexplicable joy! (๑♡⌓♡๑)

umm here is an au where jiang yanli becomes chief cultivator that i plotted out so... enjoy-

It all started with the death of Jin Guangshan during the sunshot campaign. The Jin clan folded in on itself in a battle of heirs, as with Jin Guangshan's death came the reveal of the other children he fathered. There were many small houses that twisted the horrors that had been faced into a grab for power.

It had little effect on the war, as the Jin were always far from the front lines.

The second change was when, after being freed by Jiang Cheng, Wen Qing picked up her own sword and joined the fight against her uncle. She could see that the only world were she and her brother would be safe was one without Wen Ruohan.

That final battle all happened the same, until it didn't. It was Wen Qing who struck the final blow against her uncle. Meng Yao still earned his status as a hero for his spy work and scurried off to enter into the debate over the Jin heir. He wasn't much seen after that.

Wen Qing invites everyone to stay at the Nightless City, to oversee as she takes power. She quickly begins healing her people and those soldiers she fought with alike, as well as helping those who had been possessed. She and Wen Ning quickly sort out the good and the bad, handling the issue justly. And she holds a banquet. Where the throne once sat, she had cleared it so there is space for each of the major clan leaders to sit together as one.

Nie Mingjue doesn't feel as wronged by the Wens, at least not these Wens, having fought side by side with Wen Qing. She has also been able, with Lan Xichen, to help a bit with the sword sickness as well. He gladly takes a seat at Wen Qing's side, Lan Xichen beside him, as they show their support of the new Wen clan leader. The Jiang come in, and it's not Jiang Cheng who walks up to the other sect leaders, but Jiang Yanli, both her little brothers watching proudly. She takes Wen Qing's other side and they exchange a small smile of understanding.

No one really expects the Jin to show up at this point, which works to make sure no one is sitting at the center of the table and make some kind of implication of superiority. But when Wen Qing stands to begin her speech about peace and reparations, there is a commotion at the door and a party dressed in Jin gold enters. Wen Ning goes to meet them, as he is closer, and Wen Qing is soon at his side.

The woman who joins the leaders at their table is not one who is known. She holds her head up high and introduces herself as Jin Su and sits at the end beside Jiang Yanli (Wen Ning is quick to find a place for her as his sister resumes her own). Wen Qing is now front and center but hopes no one reads into that, given it was not her plan. Nie Mingjue's expression, who is Wen Qing's biggest potential nay sayer, gives her a small nod in understanding.

Wen Qing's speech is well received, and Jin Su stands to speak after her. She invites them all to a Hunt, to celebrate victory and to share the goods of the Jin clan. It is a nod to the fact that the Jin did not expend as much as the other clans in the war and it is appreciated. She does not speak on what happened that lead to her becoming leader over any of the others, especially heir Jin Zixuan. But there are whispers it is a plan to save face, after all that Jin Guangshan had done, by putting a woman forward as leader.

From here people go home to rebuild, for the most part. With the Wens, there are some things still asked, such as Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian to be left to watch over Wen Qing and make sure she does not grab for power as her uncle did. This is helpful because people don't worry about something being slipped by two the war heroes. The added benefit is Wen Qing is able to use her skills to help Wei Wuxian so he doesn't get worse. In fact, due to her skill at surgery, there is a hope that Wei Wuxian's core might reform. Wei Wuxian is glad to be able to hide his struggles from his siblings, but visits as often as possible to see how Lotus Pier is being rebuilt.

When it comes time, there are a few back room deals happen at Phoenix Mount. Not that they are sketchy, per say. No, it is more to figure some "arranged" marriages that might really be more love matches. The first is to secure the Jin and Jiang clans. Jin Zixuan has been a lot better now that his dad is gone and he doesn't actually have to take over the sect. He is happy and excited to try and court Jiang Yanli and a tentative betrothal is put back in place (less public, in case it falls through, but there once more). It is possible because Jin Zixuan is not leader of his own sect. Another suggested deal comes about because Wen Qing looks Jiang Yanli and then Lan Xichen in the eye and tells them that they might as well make an arrangement because, no matter what sooner, or later Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji will become official cultivation partners, so they might as well add some political heft to the inevitable.

As the time passes clan meetings go well. Jiang Yanli gets along famously with every other clan leader, and finds herself in position of chief cultivator, despite having been told her cultivation is weak for so much of her life. The people trust her though, to look out for them and to make the choices that need to be made. She has swore brothers in Lan Xichen and Nie Mingjue. She has a political marriage with the Jin. She and Wen Qing have long been allies, due to their support and help of each other before, during, and after the war. Lotus Pier, with Jiang Cheng as her right hand man, has been rebuilt. And she has a healthy baby heir in Jiang Ling.

The cultivation world settles into an era of peace and stability, under the eyes of this generation.
