The Shuttle AU where Nigel Anstruthers is even more devious and DOESN'T separate Rosalie from her family, and he pretends to be nice and good and even invites Bettina to spend her school holidays at Stornham Court one year.
(That last one was not his best idea, tbh.)
Through chance, circumstance, or maybe the weaving hand of Fate, Bettina Vanderpoel and James Hubert John Fergus Saltyre meet, speak, and quickly discover their mutual distaste for Sir Nigel Anstruthers...
Anyway I call this one Jem and Bett Ruin Nigel's Life (Ten Years Ahead of Schedule)

For wen!wwx: "you are a fool wei wuxian," Wen Qing hissed angrily. "What of a-yuan? How will you protect him if you are dead?" She asked, violence on her face. "This poison will destroy your jindan, if not outright kill you!" But A-Ying had already made his decision. She can only have faith. They may not be of the same blood, but Wen Zhuliu had taught him all he knew. And there was no one alive or dead who knew more about the jindan than the core melting hand himself.
I'm guessing that this prompt assumes that Wei Wuxian was behind his own poisoning/is preventing his recovery in some way, so here's some more background for the AU.
This wasn't covered in previous asks, but Wei Wuxian has been subtly influencing battles/supply runs in favor of the Sunshot alliance for years, since the obedience seals bound to his life-force prevent him from openly rebelling against Wen Ruohan. Until the year before his poisoning, WWX was ferrying information across the Jiangling battlefront to Yunmeng by way of Yu Zhenhong and Li Shuai; and when he was forcibly retired and sent back to the Nightless City, he could no longer interact with his spies and gather information in person. Furthermore, the safety of his household depends on how well he serves Wen Ruohan, which means that Wei Wuxian has to be more useful to WRH as a wounded battle strategist than he was as a general on the front lines.
Wei Wuxian would much rather have found a cure and gone back to the Hejian (Qinghe) battlefront, but Wen Qing couldn't find a remedy for his core-poisoning in time—which is unsurprising, because the poison was developed in Gusu Lan as a last recourse in case of siege, and never tested on a single human victim prior to Wei Wuxian.
Re: the poisoned arrow, Jingyi was the archer who shot Wei Wuxian. He switched places with one of Nie Mingjue's disciples and sneaked in as part of his dad's first regiment; and when he actually got to the front lines, he panicked and shot WWX. :/

hopefully this isn’t a hot take but I hope gen z realizes that the punk, goth, industrial etc etc subcultures all kinda diy’d their stuff by way of investing in real vintage, hand me downs, sewing, refurbishing and modding their clothing. Their makeup wasn’t perfect, their hair was not perfect, nothing was perfect. Like I remember watching some Irish news segment about goths in Dublin and these teens and young adults were borrowing and taking clothes from their parents and grandparents and going out of their way to come up with their own style instead how now everyone is buying from shein or some shit and nothing is unique in fashion because everyone is obsessed with some niche garbage “aesthetic” that lasts for a max 5 months
basically what I’m saying is: you don’t need an endless closet of clothes, you don’t need to keep up with every stupid trend or follow some uniform outfit for whatever subculture you’re a part of. Real quality clothing that has lasted an excess of 30 years and still is in good condition, or can be taken in to fit you properly (which is something you can do!!) is worth a million times more than whatever garbage you’re buying from a fast fashion demon. Trade clothes with your friends! Go to clothing swaps! Dye your jeans another color! Learn how to sew! Steal shit from your parents and siblings!(they won’t miss it) literally if you’re under the age of 20 you will be way cooler than an alt influencer on tiktok
