#Noping Out Of Society With Your Boyfriend And Your 50 Wen Refugees: The Novel

[wangxianficrecs]

Throwback Rec

Original rec by Mojo. Boomarked on October 13, 2020.

Kay's comments: 💙 It's been a hot minute since I last read this story, but it's one of my favourite "Wei Wuxian fucks off with the Wen Remnants" stories out there. Love it when they decide to just leave the cultivation world alltogether and turn their backs. Lan Wangji eventually follows them as well and it's just absolutely perfect. Of course, there's some angst too and you can't just turn up somewhere, make camp and your life is perfect, no there are struggles, but nothing that can't be overcome.

Well DAMN, this starts with a bang, the Jins stating that wwx and the wens (vanished from their ken) should be hunted down and brought to justice. This makes lwj… feel some things. (None of them good.)

Story is from lwj’s POV – and his voice is FANTASTIC, and author’s style is dreamy and vivid, which brings his perspective to life. He follows wwx and the Wens, and eventually finds them, hidden behind talismans and barriers in a far corner of the wide, wild world. He joins them, but acceptance of him is slow (except for A-Yuan), and wwx is not doing well at all, draining himself until there’s nothing left. But slowly their lives congeal, homes are wrestled from the ruin of the abandoned town, crops are planted, wwx and lwj learn to understand each other better (and lwj is THOROUGHLY commited, although quietly sad that he’ll never see his brother again).

Culminates in an endeavor which shreds lwj’s back (like the 33 lashes) and very nearly kills him and forces this tiny Wen Clan to make a choice.

Excerpt:  “Bright-gege, where’s Xian-gege ?”

“He is— occupied.” The explanation is insufficient, but he does not know what else to say. Perhaps a-Yuan is familiar with Wei Ying’s clouded moods, because the boy frowns in something resembling recognition.

“Is he still sad?”

“I believe so.”

He considers this. “When a-Yuan is sad, Xian-gege makes it better.”

Wangji has no idea how to explain the wrenching, sucking sorrow of Wei Ying’s situation, of the estrangement of his family, how he has given up everything he has known to sequester himself in the furthest corner of the world in the hopes of keeping a-Yuan and all the rest safe. It is something even he cannot conceive in its entirety, everything Wei Ying has willingly let go in the name of doing what is right. He does not have the words to explain it to the boy.

“Sometimes,” he says, stilted, “the only thing one can do is be sad.”

Another excerpt *** The writing is often just pure poetry: ***:

“You should rest,” he murmurs, thumb sweeping against the curve of his knee, cloth bunching and unbunching with each stroke. Wei Ying watches the motion and meets his gaze. This is how he looks kissed: mouth bruise-dark, color high on his cheeks, neat-combed hair mussed where Wangji has threaded fingers through it. Wangji memorizes it, folds it thrice and tucks it in his chest, buried among the roots of the sapling seeded within.

Excerpt:  “Bright-gege, where’s Xian-gege ?”

This is how he looks kissed: mouth bruise-dark, color high on his cheeks, neat-combed hair mussed where Wangji has threaded fingers through it. Wangji memorizes it, folds it thrice and tucks it in his chest, buried among the roots of the sapling seeded within.
