#was madam lan a wen?

[tea-cat-arts]

You know what, I've read enough fanfic. I'm confiscating Madame Yu from you guys

Free my girl- she did the things she's being accused of, but not as frequently or severely as the fandom pretends, her actions are being taken out of context, and her depth is being reduced to that of a Colleen Hoover antagonist

[writeitinsharpie]

ever think about the great sect madams of the generation before?

about madam yu, the violet spider, one of few in her generation to earn a title (even her husband was only ever sect leader. even wen ruohan was never regarded by a title other than sect leader wen). about yu ziyuan, about what she was like before years of jealousy and envy twisted her to only her most bitter parts? about the girl who was the third daughter of a sect leader, and then the wife of another, and yet all of her immense martial power meant nothing to the society around her.

about madam jin, known only by her title and never given a name or a natal sect, who was still somehow the closest friend to yu ziyuan. the mother of the sect heir and yet a wife who can do nothing but stand by as her husband dishonors their marriage over and over again.

about madam lan, the murderess locked up for her crimes, never seeing a trial and dying alone, only allowed to see her children once a month. who was she before she was the wife of the lan sect leader? was there a reason she killed the lan elder? did she want that marriage to qingheng-jun? did she even want the children she was kept from?

about the madams nie and wen, who only exist by implication, by the knowledge that their children exist and therefore so must they. about how so little is even implied about them?

Summary: Lan Xichen breathed in sharply, a crazed laugh escaping him. He lifted his gaze to meet his eyes, a look of despair etched onto the hard lines of his face. "My brother... my brother has always been our mother's child. For that, he could not live. He is gone. I could not find him, and I could not have brought him home. I can only hope now that Wangji is at rest," he said quietly, the wind whipping the greying locks of his hair around his face. Wei Wuxian stared at him, horrified. Lan Xichen looked away as fresh tears rolled down his cheeks. "I have only ever wished happiness for my brother, but I fear I have instead brought him death." Kay's comments: Oh, this story really has me on a tight hold and I can't wait to see what happens! It's starting out with Lan Wangji not returning to Gusu after he saved A-Yuan (and his sister, who also lived in the Burial Mounds!!) and instead seeking shelter at Luo Qingyang's place. We also got more of him being defiant and seeking out his mother more often back when she was still alive. The Lan Xichen POV to finding his brother gone in chapter two was also *chef's kiss* Excerpt: It was a normal day for Lan Xichen. Of course, as normal as a day can be when one’s brother gets whipped within an inch of his life and remains completely immobile. If normal could be defined as being consumed by your worries, then Lan Xichen’s day was absolutely normal. It was not as if Lan Xichen’s childhood was not defined by being a mediator between his brother and his uncle, between his brother and the elders. Surely, this push and pull would remain for the rest of their lives. Lan Xichen sighed. He sat himself on the side of his bed and nimbly pulled his hair out of his sleeping braid. The same braid he tied for his brother every morning. As Lan Xichen got dressed for the day, putting on all six pristine layers of his robes, he stopped at his desk. These days, he found himself almost crushed with the amount of work he had to do. Shufu, at the very least, decided to take on the work that Wangji could no longer do. Lan Xichen knew Shufu cared for and loved Wangji, but sometimes, even he himself found it hard to believe.

another one!! 🪳

recommend a great AU!

this took me too long to answer excuse mwah <3 sorry i couldnt resist asdhjash such a stupid joke

with you from dusk by katharija. WOH modern au, chronic pain, unspecified chronic illness, angst, trust issues, vulnerability, grief/mourning, sharing a bed, T. i literally just finished rereading it this morning! a brief glance at wenzhou's early days, but set in modern day. im very weak for conversations in the dark, after some guards have been lowered and possibilities to live your life a different way, a better way, seem tangible. there is also a sequel to this!

hunger by lastembers. WOH modern au, chronic pain, unspecified chronic illness, referenced cannibalism, canon-typical violence, domesticiation of a monster, M. also a fic i finished rereading the other day! what if wenzhou were neighbours, but wen kexing eats people? u know that im very into cannibalism as this metaphor for something else and as a stepping stone to experience real emotional intimacy! i also really like it when the very palpable sensation of hunger functions to talk about very related things, very visceral things, that can also be felt in the body.

there is a line here i particularly liked:

"Aren't you hungry?" Zhou Zishu asks. Wen Kexing is watching him like he's the most interesting thing in the world. "No," Wen Kexing says. Zhou Zishu knows its a lie. He thinks maybe Wen Kexing is always hungry.

oh, you're mine to take, i wanna hear the sounds you'll make by anonymous. MDZS modern au, genderbend wangxian, experimenting with gender, E. just quoting that one tumblr post from a while back: "dykes who want get fucked in the ass like gayboys." yep!!!

fish & wild geese by impossibletruths. MDZS modern au, wangxian, little forest AU, hunger as a metaphor for grief, farming as a metaphor for healing, food as a metaphor for love, T. lan wangji moves into his dead mother's house and tries to remember how it is to live. its been a while since i read this but i still remember how the grief felt like a fishbone stuck in my throat.

and you must keep your soul/ like a secret in your throat by athena_crickey. MDZS, The Untamed, modern au, modern cultivation, supernatural elements, vampires, culture clash, case fic, grief/mourning, complicated family dynamics, the weariness of being old and immortal, what it means to be alive, E. wei wuxian is an ancient vampire and lan wangji is a young (youngish) cultivator who seeks him out for a case. i particularly liked seeing glimpses of wei wuxian's earlier lives through fictional academical articles and reports at the end of each (i think it is each?) chapter, and sometimes through their conversations. i like it when there is a really old (really, really old) being there and through them, you are challenged to confront what being alive for such a long time does to a person, in what ways it reshapes them.

in the water grass, in the green by nerdzeword, twigofwillow. The Untamed, modern with magic, wangxian, angst, illness, curses, witches, river spirits, family, gardening, G. lan wangji's mother falls ill. he asks the wen witches across the street for help. this fic, too, has the theme of finding solace and comfort in cooking, food, and nature! i love lan wangji being this transcended being between a person and a river! there is also some anticipatory grief here and complex family dynamics; even though madam lan isnt dead, it is hard for lan wangji to reach her because she is not accepted by his family. he has feelings about that.

Shattered Path by meyari

Series, AU 3 works

I have read a number of stories that begin with Lan Wangji attempting to rescue Wen Yuan in the Burial Mounds and ending up in Lotus Pier with Jiang Wanyin. This series has one such tale, and a broad realignment of what comes after throughout the three stories. Overall, the series is a fun read, with the third story ending on a hopeful note.

Here's a brief overview of stories in the Shattered Path series.

The Price of Freedom 10 chapters (complete) 32k words

"Fuck, yeah, he's really sick," Jiang Wanyin said. "I'm surprised you didn't take him to the Cloud Recesses. They'd have helped him."

"They do not help," Lan Zhan said, swaying as the last of his strength drained away and the room began to retreat down a long, echoing tunnel of grey. "They only crush children into their mold. I could not do that to Wei Ying's son."

"What?" Jiang Wanyin's so distant face asked. "The hell? Are you all right…?"

"No," Lan Zhan replied honestly because the habit of perfect honesty wasn't one he could shed even when he was dying. "I'm not."

The distant vision of Jiang Wanyin's face contorted in a startled shout as darkness rushed in at Lan Zhan. It didn't matter. Nothing mattered anymore. A-Yuan was safe. He would be healed.

And Lan Zhan was free to follow Wei Ying at last.

In which a former Lan survives, a child is rescued, the Jin are received, the Lan are received, and advice is given to Jin Guangyao.

There are reflections on the past, and action in the present.

The Cost of Power 10 chapters (complete) 28k words

"I am not a boy," Jin Guangyao said in a quiet, threatening tone. "I am Sect Leader Jin. What did you want?"

"I want my grandson back," Madame Jin said in an angry rush even though her hands clenched fearfully, and her eyes were wide and desperate.

"It will not happen," Jin Guangyao said. He held up a hand when she opened her mouth to fight him. "I have this place because Jiang Wanyin gave it to me. Chifeng-Jun and Zewu-Jun both approved. They accepted. It was Jiang Wanyin who decided it. I will not oppose him, especially since his instant response to seeing Jin Ling in distress was to take Jin Ling into his arms to tend to him. Despite the messy diaper. Despite the fever. Despite everything."

He had never seen Madame Jin hold Jin Ling. Smile down at his crib as Jin Ling fretted, yes, but never touch him. Never hold him. Never comfort him.

When he was Meng Yao, he had seen far too many babies. Some had been loved. Most had not. He knew how babies thrived or did not based on their mother's love.

"You won't—"

"No." Jin Guangyao cut her off. "I will not. I would appreciate your advice on a bride who will not kill me as soon as she has a baby in her belly, preferably one who doesn't cringe to speak to me. I would greatly appreciate your help as Jin-Furen. I would be delighted to recommend any young or old lover you would prefer, should you desire male companionship. I certainly know more of their habits and desires than any one man should after… serving my father. However, I will not anger the Jiang Sect when you could not be bothered to so much as hold your grandson when he cried."

She flinched at the snap of fury in his voice.

In which many things happen, including the theft of Wei Wuxian's works. There are misunderstandings about relationships at Lotus Pier, Wen Ning recovers, and Xue Yang becomes a Problem. Also, Jin Guangyao is the Sect Leader required for these times.

The Toll of Change 10 chapters (complete) 26 k words

"Can't you just leave me alone? I was having a nice nap and you had to go and poke at me."

Wen Ning jerked, standing straight, and turning towards the northwest. That was Wei Wuxian. Not his physical voice, but his spiritual one. It had been so long since he heard it…

Wind drifted across Wen Ning's cheek. There was the faint scent of flowers, though his nose no longer picked up scents properly. If it was faint to him, the smell of the lotuses and iris must be overwhelming around him and A-Yuan. He'd come out onto the pier with A-Yuan to officially check on the giant catfish. A-Yuan was very, very eager to start to learn swimming, even though the water wasn't warm enough yet.

Wen Ning cocked his head.

He had the faint sense of cursing so far off that it was all intonation, no meaning, but it wasn't something he heard with his ears.

It was something that he heard through the bonds Wei Wuxian had crafted to bind his soul back to his body. Which was… not good. At all.

"A-Ning," A-Yuan asked with a tug on Wen Ning's cold hands. "What's wrong?"

"I… thought I heard… something," Wen Ning managed to say.

In which Xue Yang attempts to bring back Wei Wuxian, Wen Ning hears one-sided conversations, and the "misbegotten idiot" (Xue Yang, in the thoughts of Wei Wuxian) attempts to "try something stupid, half-assed, and incredibly unlikely to succeed eventually". He fails.

Wei Wuxian does impossible things, Jin Guangyao gains a family, and Wen Ning and Mo Xuanyu capture a giant catfish. Sort of.

[lilapplesheadcannons]

Guys, it's time for serious questions now. You know how it's kinda widely accepted that all juniors have crushes on Jin Ling's uncles? Whether it's Jiang Cheng or Hanguang Jun? I think they'd have crushed on Jin ZiXuan if they could have met him.

Please mention the reason behind your choice in comments or tags.

Summary: To protect the Wen, Wei Wuxian throws himself on the mercy of the Lan Sect. To protect Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji marries him. To protect them all, Lan Xichen orders the Yiling Laozu's seclusion in the Jingshi. But the Jingshi had another occupant in the past. One who lingers on, furious to think that history might repeat. Kay's comments: An interesting story that just finished posting! Based on The Untamed canon and characterization, a story where Wei Wuxian marries Lan Wangji/let's himself be imprisoned by the Lans for the Dafan Wens' safety. However, it turns out he's not the only one trapped inside the Cloud Recesses. Featuring lots of Wangxian miscommunication/misunderstandings, Wei Wuxian's need to receive therapy and Wei Wuxian and the Wens being a family. Excerpt: Fortunately, despite the hasty arrangement of his marriage, it had previously occurred to him that learning to prepare those foods favored by residents of Yungmeng might be a valuable skill. In truth, it had been a foolish pursuit at the time. Wei Wuxian had been so thin during the Sunshot Campaign. He drank alcohol eagerly, but seemed to pick at any food not prepared by his sister. Back then, Lan Wangji had been gormless enough to hope that someday peace would come again and with it Wei Ying’s return to proper cultivation. He might visit the Cloud Recesses as a welcome guest, perhaps on sect business as the Jiang’s First Disciple. So someone should be able to make the food he liked. On the off chance that such a situation came to pass. Shamefully, Lan Wangji was also aware of the warm praise Wei Ying always gave to his sister when she made his favorites. He fantasized sometimes that Wei Ying might flatter him similarly, in that easy, honest way. Now, of course, it would be undeserved. As his jailer, offering Wei Ying palatable meals was merely meeting the baseline of his moral obligation. Nothing Lan Wangji did for his husband could be praiseworthy. Not anymore. Even so, when Wei Ying rolled out of bed in his sleeping attire and snatched a baozi from the steam basket with his bare hand before Wangji could offer properly, he smiled.

pov alternating, canon divergence, fix-it, wen remnants live, madam lan lives, hurt/comfort, emotional hurt/comfort, imprisonment, wei wuxian needs therapy, wei wuxian gets therapy, miscommunication, misunderstandings, developing relationship, mutual pining, married lan wangji/wei wuxian, arranged marriage, getting together, friends to lovers, first kiss
