The tone slides down Wei Wuxian's spine like ice water. He chuckles sheepishly.

"What a bunch of fools." says Jiang-gongzi, derision dripping from every word.

Wei Wuxian blinks, as the sharp words are turned on an unexpected target.

"Can you really blame them?" comes out of his mouth before he can think better of it. Anyone involved with Jiang Cheng should know what ruin Wei Wuxian could bring, even when he had the best intentions (maybe especially then).

"What do they think you are? A one-trick pony? If they're too craven to trust you with cultivation, they should be jumping on the opportunity to have you teach archery."

Oh. Wei Wuxian's mouth hangs open, his quick tongue slack with shock.

"Especially since the Lans are such shit archers. Not a decent competition placement in years."

A memory drifts from the muddy slit of Wei Wuxian's past life. Leading a group of excited juniors to the archery fields, showing them how to hold the bow, how to aim the arrow. The excitement of hitting that first target. For a moment, Wei Wuxian nearly chokes on want.

"It wouldn't do for the Yiling Laozhu to officially teach disciples. Even if it was just archery, rumors --"

"If the Lan sect can't handle a few rumors, then you should--" Jiang-gongzi stiffens suddenly. He grabs Wei Wuxian's arm, pulling him up.

"Jiang-zhongzu is on his way back." He pulls Wei Wuxian towards the door. "Listen, if you want to teach. Write to Jin-zhongzu, he could use all the help he can get." He gently shoves Wei Wuxian out the door. "Now, go, before you get me in trouble. I wasn't supposed to speak to anyone."

--

Wei Wuxian should know better than this. Wei Wuxian, in fact, knows better than this. But seriously, faced with such a mystery what could anyone but try to find out more? Could anyone resist? Is Wei Wuxian not supposed to send out the undetectable eavesdropping talismans, he's invented for Jin Ling? When he's conveniently carrying them in his pockets?

Duller men with less genius invention may resist but Wei Wuxian is not constrained by the limitiations of simpler minds. His talismans fly true, beneath the walkways, through gaps in the roof and open doorways.

"The Lans are as helpful as ever." Jiang Cheng's voice rings out.

"A wasted trip, then." Jiang-gongzi says.

Steps. Slowing. Halting.

"You were drinking?"

"Can't a man enjoy a drink?" A pause and then Jiang Cheng asks mildly. "Do you take me for a fool?" Something crackles and Wei Wuxian goes cold.

"What have you told him?" Something is humming ominously. Wei Wuxian turns on the pathway and runs back to the guesthouse.

"Jiang-zhongzu don't be ridiculous. I was merely making conversation." Jiang-gongzi says as if the truth could save him when Jiang Cheng gets like that. Accusing, finding fault by sheer desire, Wei Wuxian knows better than anyone else, he knows because he was there when Jiang Cheng learnt this.

"Of course, you didn't tell him..."

Wei Wuxian ignores a the Jiang disciple in front of the door to crash into the courtyard. Two people turn to him. Wei Wuxian stumbles to a stop.

"If he'd known, he'd never have shared a drink with you." Jiang Cheng finishes cruelly. Wei Wuxian gapes. Next to Jiang Cheng, his double in the unmarked robes balls his hands into fists and hangs his head.

Shoutout to the MDZS donghua for giving Wangxian their secluded home in the middle of nowhere, with a donkey and two bunnies. You dropped this, king 👑

[mxystan]

sorry just saw the tower records popup merch and the way they grouped them up made me ugly laugh. like you start off strong with fairly reasonable and expected combos of wangxian and the nie bros and then there's jiang cheng at the bottom stuck in the middle of the most volatile situationship in the jianghu. i'd kill myself

Where the hell did Jiang Cheng hide this guy? Yunmeng Jiang's disciples are stiff, highstrung and distantly, unfailingly polite (isolationist, the non-existant gossip in the Lan Sect says). But this one is willing to indulge Wei Wuxian, now that he ascertained his identity ("Only Wei Wuxian would drink so stupidly"). He took the bottle from Wei Wuxian and poured him a generous cup of one of Yunmeng's finest wines. "Here, maybe now you can drink like civilized folk, you haven't been raised by animals." Then he sat down next to Wei Wuxian Still with enough distance to be properly polite but no other Yunmeng Jiang disciple has been willing to give him the time of the day.

"We have some Yunmeng snacks, if you want." This Jiang-gongzi informs Wei Wuxian. His gaze travels up and down Wei Wuxian's slight body, when he speaks next the judgmental frown is audible though not visible. "That Lan fare is so bland, it's an affront to food."

Wei Wuxian snorts. "I am indulged plenty. My husband allows exceptions on behalf of my adventurous palate."

"As they should." Jiang-gongzi says with such certainty that Wei Wuxian holds back correcting him that it's not the Lans but only Lan Wangji who indulges Wei Wuxian.

"Will you teach the guest students this year or are the Lans hoarding you?" Jiang-gongzi inquires so earnestly that Wei Wuxian nearly swallows his tongue with his drink.

"Me?" He spits. Jiang-gongzi carefully lowers his cup.

"Aren't you the most talented talisman maker of our generation?" He asks. Yeah, among a few other notable things like the whole demonic cultivation.

"Aya, I'm afraid my husbandly duties keep me quite busy." Wei Wuxian wiggles his eyebrows and grins lecherously. Jiang-gongzi mid-swallow, nearly chokes on his drink.

"Shameless!" He hisses between coughs and snorts. "Absolutely shameless!"

Wei Wuxian chuckles. "How maidenly and here I thought Jiang disciples were so much more worldly than all my pure Lan hosts. I could tell you things about my husband's..."

"Not a disciple. It's all fine as long as you like it. Just don't let our Sect leader hear it."

That sobers Wei Wuxian. "I won't bait that bear. Jiang Cheng has always been uptight about these things."

Jiang-gongzi shakes his head. "No, he couldn't care less about that. But the whole -- it's not a rumor that Lan Qiren put a rule about you on the wall?"

Wei Wuxian gasps, "One rule? Of course, that's not true. He put up about ten more by now."

Jiang-gongzi's shoulders stiffen and his voice goes flat. "Is that so?"

1. hello!! any fics wher we get more backstory, lore or details about wei changze? in canon we as the audience knows almost nothing about wwx's parents, just as wwx himself, and when i see it being explored on fics it's usually just focusing on cangse sanren and her connection to baoshan sanren and xiao xingchen.

i wanted to see fics that talk about wei changz3 as more than a servant and a footnote, only coming up to remind wwx that he is the son of a servant (if he really is one, since wcz was a powerful cultivator? jfm's right hand man??), which very on brand with the mdzs cultivation society, but also as his own person

+ not necessary but if it features wwx being his father's spitting image, or even fics that just mention that he looks just like his dad

🧡 Stunted, Starving Juvenility by TomatenMark (E, 925k, WangXian, WIP, Cloud Recesses Study Arc, Getting Together, Supportive LQR, Hurt/Comfort, Fix-It of Sorts, Supportive LXC, Canon Divergence, Inventor WWX, Possessive LWJ, Cultivation Sect Politics, Pre-Sunshot Campaign, Fluff and Smut, Burning of the Cloud Recesses, Fall of Lotus Pier, Angst, Sunshot Campaign Not JFM Friendly, split into parts, Part 1 complete, Part 2 complete, Original Character(s)) doesn’t come up much for a while, but in the more recent parts of the fic it’s getting more focus, I haven’t read a couple of the more recent chapters, but the one I last read had WWX charging into an inadvisable journey to try to see his last remaining living relatives. (Inadvisable because it’s in the Sunshot Campaign arc rn.) Also him being a carbon copy of his father with his mother’s personality is a whole minor plot point in itself in the first part.

11. Hello again! A) Do you have any transmigration fics that are like svsss or just classic isekais? In which people aren't supposed to know they got transmigrated, and they're trying to fit into their new rule. I read one about wwx transmigrating into an a/b/o world were he was married to lwj and I loved it.

B) Wwx and Lwj get reincarnated, both of them do (as in neither of them cultivate towards immortality.) Then they meet again, whether they recognize each other or fall in love again and remember later. Although I'd prefer that the reincarnation isn't just some modern au of canon- it doesn't even need to have the rest of the cast. Even being born with different names is okay.

C) The last one: wwx and lwj are the juniors' high school teachers who haven't met previous to the job, and the juniors set them up/discover their relationship.

16. Hello! I’m looking for fics where LWJ has wife WWX up or is looking to. Pretty much any fic where WWX becomes LWJ’s little wife or fics where LWJ calls WWX has wife @bigmeatycl0ws

My Leaves Reach Ever for the Sun by nonplussed (T, 26k, WangXian, Fake/Pretend Relationship, Fix-It, Crossdressing, Idiots in Love, Sharing a Bed, Canon Divergence, Happy Ending, Mutual Pining, Everyone Lives/Nobody Dies, [Podfic] My Leaves Reach Ever for the Sun by neiread (derenai)) This is either not what you were looking for or 100% what you were looking for. It’s a fun and mischievous fic, but just like cannon it also takes itself seriously at times. Additionally, LWJ & WWX get to pretend they’re married. LWJ is obviously mentally blue-screening and celebrating this fact in equal measure for the whole fic.

~*~

17. For the next itmf, it would be awesome to find out if there’s more fics where wangxian are arranged to be married, and because preconceived notions (or any reason at all) Lan Zhan doesn’t treat Wei Ying well, and regrets it later. I recently read Atonement by vivillainous, and just really crave similar fics. Thanks a lot!!!

해냈어

지저스 크라이스트 수퍼스타 - 겟세마네 // Jesus Christ Superstar - Gethsemane

마이클 리 MV-Gethsemane (지저스 크라이스트 수퍼스타)

가사ㆍ번역 // Lyrics & translation

나 오직 한가지 물어 봅니다

이 순간 나에게 주신 이 독잔을 거둬줘요

다가오는 죽음이 난 너무나 두려워요

I only want to ask one thing

Take away this cup of poison you offer me now

My approaching death scares me so

흔들리는 맘

지쳐버린 몸

무얼 위해 싸워왔나

누굴 위해 죽는건가

이 고통이 나에게 무슨 의미가 되나요

Wavering heart

Weary body

What have I been fighting for?

Whom am I dying for?

What meaning does this torment hold for me?

나 죽을 때

예언하신 당신 뜻을 이루시겠죠

날 못 박고 치고 찢고 죽이시겠죠

When I die

Will your foretold will be fulfilled?

Will you hammer me with nails, hit me, tear me, kill me?

I'd wanna know

I'd wanna know, my God

Wanna know

I'd wanna know, my God

Wanna see

I'd wanna see, my God

Wanna see

I'd wanna see, my God

내가 죽어

얼마나 더 대단한 걸 갖게 되나요

얼마나 더 위대한 걸 이루시나요

So I die

How much more importance will I receive?

How much more greatness will you achieve?

I'd have to know

I'd have to know, my Lord

Have to know

I'd have to know my Lord

Have to see

I'd have to see my Lord

I'd have to see

I'd have to see my Lord

죽어서 난 무엇이 되나

죽어서 난 무엇을 얻나

If I die, what do I become?

If I die, what do I gain?

Have to know

I'd have to know, my Lord

Have to know

I'd have to know, my Lord

Why should I die?

왜 죽나요 내가 왜!

Why do I die, why?

보여줘요 내 죽음이 갖게 될 의미

알려줘요 내 죽음이 갖게 될 영광

헛된 죽음 아니란 걸 보여줘 제발

난 거부조차 할 수 없는 존재인가요 왜

Show me the meaning my death will have

Tell me the glory my death will have

Please show me this is not a death in vain

Why this existence I cannot even refuse?

All right… I'll die

Just watch me die

See how I die

See how I die

흔들리는 맘

지쳐버린 몸

지나간 시간이 마치 영원처럼 느껴지네

끝내야 할 나의 운명

당신 손에 정해진 운명

Wavering heart

Weary body

The time that's passed feels like eternity

My fate that I must see through

A fate determined by your hand

뜻하신대로 날 죽게 하소서

당신 주신 이 독잔이 핏물 되어 날 적시고

찢고 쳐서 죽이소서

Kill me, in accordance with your will

Stain me with blood from the cup of poison you offer

Tear me, hit me, kill me

지금 내 맘 변하기 전

지금 내 맘 변하기 전

Now, before I change my mind

Now, before I change my mind

@wouldyoulikeacupofteadear More thoughts on chengyao, those tags on their dynamics/sex with my in customer mode and jc aiming to please and thinking my wanted big strong man and them having mediocre sex were great

"Thank you for answering my letter. It is delicate," Jin Guangyao said, shifting his teacup, "since it is believed that a young man changing the way his house is run within three years of his father's passing must be unfilial." Jin Guangyao allowed that statement to breathe, and Jiang Wanyin waited patiently with a slight frown between his eyebrows. "However, some matters require immediate redress."

From his sleeve, he pulled a scroll and placed it between them on the table.

Jiang Wanyin's gaze darted to it. The air grew thick, the heavy feeling of a storm approaching. Zidian lay quiescent, at least.

"Which aspects of the contract would you like to amend, Lianfang-zun?"

"Although you may not know, I was raised in Yunping. We rarely saw cultivators, but the few times our neighbors required help, it was given by YunmengJiang. Your father required very little payment from those who had little to give; and this, I believe, is a tradition you have honored him by continuing."

Jiang Wanyin held still. A clearly practiced posture even now, years into his leadership. "It's reasonable. Expecting poor people to pay you more than they make in half a year allows resentment to fester."

"Not every sect leader makes that choice."

"You've met them," Jiang Wanyin said drily. "You know how they make their choices."

Jin Guangyao smiled and refilled Jiang Wanyin's cup. "Just so. In that spirit, I would like to renegotiate our formal alliance, paying particular notice of certain clauses—especially the ones placing conditions on your access to Jin Ling."

Almond eyes wide, Jiang Wanyin said, "How?"

"By removing them."

With a gasp from Jiang Wanyin, the air cleared. He pulled his hands to his lap, but not before Jin Guangyao noticed them quaking.

Jin Guangyao continued, "Jin Ling is very fortunate to have a jiujiu like you. If it would be amenable to you, I think he would enjoy splitting his time between Jinlin Tai and Lianhua Wu. There are considerations, of course, such as his attendants needing accommodation."

"What do you want in return?" Jiang Wanyin asked neutrally.

"This contract is secret. Changing it will not alter the appearance of either of our sects. No one knows the pressures which were placed upon you; once those pressures end, outsiders will rightly attribute your sect's recovery to your own excellent management, which has been hampered all these years."

"I won't support all of your acts as xiandu," Jiang Wanyin said immediately. "No one can be right all of the time, and I won't pretend you are."

Jin Guangyao shook his head. "Oh my, I explained myself poorly. There are no conditions on this, implied or explicit. Even if nothing else about our alliance changes, that will change. My hope is not for you to become a sycophant, but to understand me better."

Jiang Wanyin raised an eyebrow. "You ended the war with a tyrant. You're the sworn brother of the two most powerful cultivators alive. You're the damn xiandu. Why would my opinion matter?"

"Jin Ling is a sweet, sensitive boy." Jin Guangyao straightened his robes, fingers fluttering over the embroidered garden of his sleeves. "It will be his sect someday. I don't want him to find this contract in ten years' time and discover things about his grandfather and shushu that would disappoint him."

Jiang Wanyin huffed. "Give him twenty years instead, for all our sakes. In ten, he'll still be the silliest boy alive."

[ultfreakme]

Hey have we tried reframing Jiang Cheng not supporting the Wen Remnants as instead Jiang Cheng trying to keep whatever is left of his sect safe? Like the man's first thoughts were not "let's go kill them", that didn't happen until JYL's death. Why is JC the bad guy for wanting to restore his home? WWX and JC mutually split up responsibility on who each of them are going to protect and were bantering like they usually do after like why is JC the bad guy for wanting to protect his family's legacy?

[rottingcheng]

allcheng in which jc’s experience of first (unrequited) love with wwx informs all his future relationships [wholesome]

xicheng: it’s ingrained in jc that you’re supposed to have to share the person you love with everybody else! even when you have your loved one’s attention, isn’t it just natural for their attention to stray and be caught by other people and things all the time?

when jc first becomes closer to lxc, the undivided attention makes him uncomfortable. he’s scared he’ll get used to it, especially if it’ll eventually be taken away. so he pushes lxc away first, gets irritable when lxc goes everywhere with him, gets irrationally angry when lxc politely tells other people he is busy so he can keep hanging out with jc. why!!! it makes no sense? is there something wrong with lxc? isn’t he being too obsessive? jc gets anxious because this isn’t the kind of love he understands.

one day he shouts for lxc to leave him alone!! and lxc does!! and jc suddenly feels… lonely…

everyone notices how slj’s mood seems so off that week, until lxc pops in to ask if he’s ok and jc goes “!!!! please don’t ever leave me again!” and lxc goes “my pleasure~”.

mingcheng: like everybody else in the jianghu, jc greatly admired nmj for his martial prowess. when they got together, nmj was extremely caring and protective, which was great—a love language jc understood. however, jc was worried nmj would look down on him for being a young and inexperienced sect leader. sometimes he didn’t believe in himself either.

but nmj always trusted jc to handle himself. maybe even a little too much, because jc would be waiting for nmj to take over fighting a yao or fix a tricky political situation, but instead nmj would just wait for jc to take a stab at it first (sometimes literally). even when jc felt like he was out of his depth and couldn’t handle things, nmj would always give him the opportunity to try to work things himself first. jc thought it meant nmj didn’t care about him, that he didn’t mind seeing jc struggling. but after he defeated that yao (with difficulty), after he came to that political agreement (with great difficulty), jc felt so happy. and nmj would pull him close and tell him he believed in him all that time. it was terrifying, but it was good. ~~

xuancheng: jc was always used to having the person he loved be in the spotlight while he watched from the shadows. it was only natural after all. jc was born second, born second-best. so it was a strange feeling when jzx, who had just won first place in the yearly lanling archery competition, picked jc up and waved him around in the air, calling for everyone to look at his very talented lover and be amazed at him for splitting an arrow with his second shot during warm up. jc grew completely pink, unused to the attention he felt was surely undeserved.

and it wouldn’t stop there! jzx was amazing in his own right, a high achiever with an incredible record. but he was never afraid to lose to jc, and would always celebrate jc’s wins without having to upstage him in some way. jzx was genuinely always so proud of his lover!

whenever jzx was better than jc at something, he would always offer to give jc some tips to help him improve, and would always ask jc for tips too. jzx loved sharing the spotlight with jc, even more so did he love looking at his lover smiling wide from above him in first place.

sangcheng: jc was always snappy and combative as a kid. as he grew older, he naturally mellowed out and was generally more agreeable to others around him. with his lover nhs, though, jc would scold and berate him even for little things. jc imagined it would be equal, that nhs would point out jc’s mistakes too, make fun of him where everyone could see. but nhs just…never did. nhs never really complained about jc’s harsh words, only ever pouting and pretending to cry. jc would roll his eyes and leave. nhs would chase him —

“jiang-xiong don’t go! you have to cheer me up now!” jc thought that nhs was boring at first, that he didn’t have the wits to banter back. then one day, jc accidentally broke one of nhs’s fans and received the scolding of his life. that was when he learned nhs was in fact very good at giving jc hell. he just usually didn’t want to.

at first that was so strange. isn’t it more fun to hate on each other? and then jc realised that whenever he wrote a character imperfectly or practiced a sword form wrong, the little pang of anxiety he used to get was no longer there. oh, he thought. that’s…nice. after that, jc would still scold nhs every now and then, but not without giving nhs the head pats and praises the man would demand afterwards. it was quite a comfortable arrangement. ~
