The Sweetest Side Of Our Choices

by Preludian_Staves

T, 2k, wangxian

Summary: Though wary of their guests on a mountain of death, rumors are ignored when the Yiling citizens have a different reaction to their arrival.

Kay's comments: What a lovely little story where Wei Wuxian and the Wens get taken in by the citizens of Yiling with a side of secretely already established Wangxian! I'm very weak for stories where the people of Yiling look at Wei Wuxian and the Wens and decide: they are ours now. So, this was a lovely treat for me! Featuring Wei Wuxian's corvid companions!

Excerpt: They knew the moment Wei-gongzi finally noticed their eyes on him, as he froze and slowly turned to stare tensely back at the people watching him. The young raven on his shoulder cawed softly, beating its wings against the air threateningly before Wei-gongzi, without breaking the staring contest, stuffed a bunch of seeds from the folds of his muddied robes into the creature's beak to quiet it down while keeping his eyes on them.

11. Hi, I'm looking for a fic i read some time ago but i can't seem to find. Basically the great sects had isolated themselves for sometime and WRH still tried to burn CR but the Lan won that war , alone i think, and like they demanded a war prize/hostage/concubine? and YMJ with the other twos support , i think, sent WWX for the Lan's leader LWJ who was surprised by WWX's very feminine and very much marriage robes. So the Jiang and the Jin and the Nie got it wrong but LWJ lets him stay, I think it's been a while and they fall in love for real and LWJ reveals that his brother has been in a coma for some time. Anyway WX went to the Crowd hunt the Jin are trowing and YZY got very angry at like WWX being at her level socially, the spouse of a sect leader and then WX went home and LXC woke up and that's all i know because the fic had like 26/28/20 something chapters in total and it was a WIP and only one or two chpaters left till it was done. I don't know if it is still a WIP. @secretartquotes

18. Hiiiii! I hope you all are well! Boy it’s been a long time since I was here. I finally learned how to bookmark so I was not losing track *that* much, but today I was bored and tried to channel my inner MY/JGY and read at work. (Without logging to my account because i don’t want to give my co-workers another reason to think I am crazy).

But back to reason, i need your help lovelies. I am looking for a fic. LQR can read music and he bumped into NMJ and he heard the Turmoil song. He thinks LXC is poisoning him so he goes and ask WWX for help and basically it was a major Canon Divergence. That is where i had to close the tab. I would really appreciate all the help.

19. Hi! I'm looking for a fic where the best way I can describe it is WWX has a magic sex toy that is keyed into his own body which LWJ then confiscates and later uses not knowing it's keyed to WWX. I believe it's during the CR arc but not sure how the fic was tagged so haven't been able to pull it up and I don't remember much beyond that. Thanks for all you do!

20. Hi! Thank you for your hard work! I'm looking for 2 fics today, but I really want to find the first one. A) It's arranged marriage fic, LWJ is some sort of royalty. After the wedding (I think?) WWX is sent to live in a separate palace (?) He and the Wens (I can't remember why they're there) start a farm to make money (and have food?) to fix up the palace which I think was in some state of disrepair. Eventually he LWJ notices and starts to send gifts and such. I feel like there's something about a dragonfruit? But maybe that's a different fic?

B) The second one I'm looking for is a modern mob au, wwx asks lwj to watch a plant and then disappears for a year, or something like that. I'm sure I probably found it on here, but I must be overlooking it @iluvshikamaru

Hi! 20a is definitely sowing seeds in the cold palace! Thank you so much, it was driving me crazy!

20b is not lightning in a bottle, but it was a delight to read so ty for the suggestion! I seem to remember that jc shows up to kidnap lz at some point, and that lz was also part of the mob/mafia but has retired from it?

---------------

The booth is large enough for Wei Qing to see patients, Wei Ning to brew medicine and keep food warm, and for Wei Ying, Lan Wangji, and A-Yuan to stay toward the back. A-Yuan plays quietly with his toys, and Wei Ying works on his notes about invention ideas, specifically told he can do no experiments here by Wei Qing. 

“We don’t need to scare folks off with explosions,” she says wryly. 

Wei Ying squawks indignantly but doesn’t argue, instead focusing on getting his ideas on paper. Lan Wangji oscillates between meditation and transcribing his notes into something more orderly. 

Her patients range from people with headaches, to women who have their moon or are pregnant, to people with more serious conditions. Wei Qing is kept busy, and by extension Wei Ning is as well. Brewing medicine is a meticulous process and if Wei Ying distracts him, Wei Qing glares at him, so he generally stays distracted in Yiling.

They continue Wei Ying’s musical acupuncture treatments every morning before they leave the Burial Mounds and when they return in the evening. At times, the brighter and warmer sun in Yiling leads his husband to drowse, and he’s happy to lend him a shoulder to nap on. 

Over a week passes before one of the street children, one who seems to be newer to the street, less wary, allows Wei Qing to examine him and give him medicine and salve for a particularly nasty-looking dog bite on his leg, hidden beneath his tattered robes, which makes Wei Ying shudder in empathy. He rolls up his zhong yi trousers and shows the boy his bite scars. 

“I was on the streets here in Yiling, too, for a long time,” he tells the kid, who looks awed. 

He’s maybe four years old, close to A-Yuan’s age, maybe a bit older. The boy eventually gives them the name Zhi. The inflection could have multiple characters, one meaning will or determination, another meaning wisdom, and still another meaning essence, though it’s doubtful he knows which one. 

It takes another week, during which A-Zhi stays near their booth and plays with A-Yuan much of the day while eating multiple meals, before they offer to take him home with them in the evening, explaining they live in the Burial Mounds. 

“What about the Yiling Laozu?” the boy asks in a whisper. “Is he going to eat me?”

“Aiya, if I was going to eat you, I would have already,” Wei Ying says softly. “And I haven’t eaten A-Yuan either.”

The boy bolts, leaving a distraught Wei Ying in his wake, but he returns the next day, a bit shy, but still staying close. When they ask if he’d like to come with them that evening, he bravely nods, following them up the mountain until he tires and joins Wei Ying and A-Yuan in the cart. 

“You’re not ugly, though,” A-Zhi says thoughtfully on the way. “Yiling Laozu pictures are ugly.”

Wei Ying huffs, and Lan Wangji answers for him. 

“The pictures are lies. Wei Ying is very beautiful.”

That gets a bashful whine from Wei Ying, especially when A-Zhi and A-Yuan agree. 

“Many lies are told about Wei Ying,” he tells the boy seriously. “Gossip is often wrong.”

A-Zhi is doted upon by the aunties and uncles, spoiled by Popo, fed plenty, and given a nice place to sleep with Popo and A-Yuan. When he comes with them to Yiling the next morning he is dressed in fresh, clean robes sewn from the bolts of fabric they had dyed green with bamboo leaves. One of the aunties, Qiuyue-ayi, sewed it in expectation of this development, having heard nightly from Wei Ying talking at dinner each night, giving them all anticipation—she is already working on more. A-Yuan happily calls him Zhi-gege.

“You don’t have to come to Yiling with us,” Wei Qing tells the boy.

“I want to play with A-Yuan,” A-Zhi says shyly, “and show I’m not eaten.”

He is clearly a bright child, potentially forced to mature beyond his years by his brief time on the streets as Wei Ying was. They don’t ask him how he wound up there, at Wei Ying’s insistence. 

“He’ll tell us if he wants to, Lan Zhan. Let it be his decision.”

Eventually, when he’s ready, they learn his father was killed by soldiers, likely Wen in the Sunshot Campaign, and his mother died of illness not too long ago, leaving him with no one and nowhere to go. 

They find the street children staying closer during the day and eating their fill after A-Zhi joins them, and slowly they add two more coming with them to the Burial Mounds. 

Aside from A-Zhi, who apparently imprinted on Wei Ying when they shared scars from dog bites, the other two gravitate toward the aunties and uncles. Lan Wangji cannot help but be relieved, as he is not certain they can effectively parent so many children. 

One, a little girl of about seven who suddenly joins them partway home one evening and introduces herself as A-Mei, mostly stays at the Burial Mounds during the day as well instead of following them into Yiling. She sticks close to Qiuyue-ayi, who presents her with a little dress made from the purple-dyed fabric and brushes her hair once she’s bathed. Wei Ying spends the next day at their booth whittling a rabbit hair pin, which she takes shyly with a happy little giggle. She largely stays close to Qiuyue-ayi and only goes back to town with them once. 

A slightly older boy, maybe eight or nine, A-Tao, identifies the character of his name as “like the tree,” which is good information to have because it could also mean pottery or cleanse. He spends several days hanging close to their booth before coming to the Burial Mounds, then mostly stays there and watches the farming and does little chores, like bringing water to those tending the crops, and is roundly spoiled by Popo with food. He’s understandably wary, shying away from them, and they let him sleep in Jifu’s old hut so he can be alone. 

“None of their stories are likely happy,” Wei Ying says softly after they’ve bathed and gone to bed to bask in the afterglow. 

Lan Wangji knows this, but Wei Ying is in part thinking aloud, which he is quite used to, so he only shifts to bring him closer. He knows also that this is forcing Wei Ying to relive a painful time in his life, but he hopes it brings a sense of catharsis. He is saving children from the very circumstances he was in as a child. 

“Even if they had happy lives before, those lives are gone now.”

“We will make new happy lives for them,” Lan Wangji promises, and is pleased when this seems to make Wei Ying settle. 

When Min Cenxi next visits with more supplies she is delighted, and she comes with disciple uniforms and other clothing in child sizes. She introduces herself as their da-shijie and fields questions about Lotus Pier. 

“We’ll teach you to swim, because there are a lot of lakes. And I’m sure Wei Wuxian will plant you with the lotuses so you’ll grow big and strong.”

A-Tao and A-Mei giggle at the idea, while A-Yuan insists it works and even gives siblings to a rapt A-Zhi.

By this time the children know they’ll be going to Lotus Pier eventually, but A-Mei is distraught upon learning Qiuyue-ayi will leave with Min Cenxi and insists on accompanying her, something easily accommodated. 

“Honestly, da-shixiong, I’m not surprised you’re already bringing that poem to life,” she says, which is how they learn that she’s heard it in Yunmeng already. “You’ve always been good with kids. Now for the lotuses.”

She gives him several varieties that Jiang Wanyin sent with her, meaning a pond will have to be built. Lan Wangji is about to resign himself to going without his husband to Yiling daily to protect Wei Qing until he’s succeeded when she reveals that two senior disciples will be staying to accompany her and help around the community. So he will be able to help with the process of growing lotuses after all. 

The disciples will serve as further protection for their little settlement, as well, and Lan Wangji nods his thanks. While the Jin haven’t acted, there is no guarantee they won’t. 

The children look adorable in their little Jiang sect disciple uniforms, A-Mei in her blue practice-appropriate dress, A-Zhi and A-Tao in purple hanfu. There are even several lotus guan for the boys to wear, and A-Tao can’t stop touching his when Popo puts his hair in a proper crown. 

Wei Ying starts building the pond for the lotuses near the cave entrance, between the entrance to the great hall and the Demon-Slaughtering Cave. He is helped by Lan Wangji, who insists he isn’t bothered by a little dirt, and a thrilled A-Yuan and A-Zhi, for whom digging is great fun getting dirty—not in their disciple uniforms, but what have been relegated as play clothes. A-Tao joins in when the Wei uncles insist on helping, and A-Mei just watches them as though judging them all, her countenance similar to Wei Qing’s. Even some of the visiting disciples help out. Popo brings out lunch for them all, cooked by some of the aunties, and they enjoy a small meal of noodles, mushrooms, and pork. 

By the end of Min Cenxi’s stay, the pond has been built and filled with water by Wei Ning, who simply fills a bathtub in the stream several times to do so, and the lotus seeds have been planted. The excuse to celebrate is a welcome one, so a larger meal is cooked, and Min Cenxi brings out some Lotus Breeze. 

Wei Ying asks A-Mei if she remembers her surname, or if she would like to take Wei or Jiang as her surname, and she wants the same surname as Qiuyue-ayi. A-Zhi wants to be a Wei as well, as soon as he hears she’ll be one, but when they ask A-Tao if he remembers his surname, he clams up. 

“If it’s Wen, that’s what we used to be,” Wei Qing tells him bluntly, and then has a crying little boy clinging to her. 

It’s a sad story—his parents pushing him out the back door of the farmhouse, telling him to run to the woods as gold-clad cultivators approached their farm, having heard terrifying rumors of what happened to people named Wen. They took his parents, likely to a labor camp, and burned the farm and slaughtered the animals needlessly, leaving the carcasses to rot. The poor child has wandered from town to town since, terrified someone will realize he’s a Wen and turn him in. 

Lan Wangji can’t help but wonder if other street children have similar stories, their lives ruined by the war and its aftermath. He wonders if the yuefu will draw them to Yiling.

“You’re our tang-di,” Wei Qing tells him, “and it’s up to you, but our surname is Wei now.”

And so they hold an adoption ceremony for all three children, bringing them into the family officially. Wei Ying takes great joy in introducing them to his parents, and explaining to their tablets why he is doing so, asking for their blessing. A-Yuan adorably insists they’re all his siblings, something A-Zhi enthusiastically agrees to. A-Mei shyly offers to be his tang-jie instead, and A-Tao shrugs at the idea, too worn down from crying to make a decision. Likely he will be their tang-ge. 

In the aftermath, A-Tao takes to sleeping with the aunties and uncles in the larger building, happy to have rediscovered distant family, trusting finally that he will not be turned out, and the Jiang disciples are able to take Jifu’s hut instead of sleeping in the great hall, and the uncles get started on building a second bed for them so they don’t have to trade off or share. They try to protest that it’s unnecessary, but the uncles insist, having worked on making small beds for the children so they don’t have to share with an adult unless they want to for comfort. 

A-Mei thanks Wei Ying, calling him gege, and he suggests she can call him Xian-gege.

“A-Yuan called me that before he started calling me A-Die,” he tells her.

“Okay, Xian-gege. You’re coming to Lotus Pier later?”

“Of course.”

She gives him a hug, brief and shy, and then runs to Qiuyue-ayi. 

A few days after Min Cenxi leaves with two of the remnants and the newly-named Wei Mei, several Nie disciples arrive with Nie Zonghui to night hunt the resentful creatures of the Burial Mounds beyond the wards. To start the arduous process of clearing them, with the hope of eventually cleansing them entirely. 

The Nie disciples have clearly been briefed on the situation, and they cook a feast out of a boar they slew on the way, while Wei Ning makes side dishes using supplies they provide. By the time the meal is finished, the children are stained liberally with grease and drowsing happily, likely soon to be bursting with energy and ready to run it off. 

Though they don’t want for meat anymore, such a meal goes a long way in rebuilding strength for the previously malnourished, and is thus welcome. Lan Wangji and Popo join forces to bully Wei Ying into eating enough, and A-Zhi mimics A-Yuan when he feeds Wei Ying from his bowl, too. Wei Ying puts on an exaggerated pout, but eats what he’s given by their children. 

“I know how to feed myself, you know.”

“Are you sure? I thought Xianxian was three,” Popo teases, and Wei Ying laughs. 

They also come with gifts of toys for the children, clearly acquainted with the poem, along with more practical gifts like better tools for farming and woodworking. They pass on a letter from Nie Huaisang, in which he tells them of his success with the yuefu and where it is currently released—Gusu, Yiling, Yunmeng, and Qinghe, carefully avoiding Lanling for now, though it will undoubtedly travel by word of mouth at some point.  

I don’t want Jin Guangshan time to notice it yet. He might scoff, but Jin Guangyao knows the power of such things. 

A cautious, intelligent approach that again reminds him that Nie Huaisang isn’t the know-nothing fop he pretends to be. Lan Wangji reminds himself to never play weiqi with him. 

While the Nie disciples conduct their Burial Mounds night hunt within the warded-off areas, Wei Ying and Lan Wangji rejoin Wei Qing in her daily trips to Yiling, along with A-Yuan and A-Zhi. To their surprise, the street kids seem pleased to see them, showing more interest in hanging around the stall, with new faces appearing for the free food. 

That night two more, a pair of orphaned brothers about A-Tao’s age, named A-Yun, for cloud, and A-Heng, for persistent, join their ranks on the trip back to the settlement, admitting they’d heard the yuefu while loitering outside a wine house in another town, then traveled to Yiling. Already its reach has brought results. 

“Will you really adopt us?” A-Yun asks, wary but hopeful. 

“If you’d like, or you can take the Jiang name when we go to Lotus Pier,” Wei Ying says seriously. ”If you become Weis, you’ll have plenty of aunties and uncles and a popo to dote on you, plus you’d have A-Yuan and A-Zhi as your didimen, if you want.”

“You need not decide immediately,” Lan Wangji adds, knowing the boys may want time to make a decision. “And you may take the Wei name without regarding us as parents if you prefer.”

“Planting with the radishes worked!” A-Yuan crows happily. 

This requires explanation to the other boys, and leaves A-Zhi awed and A-Yun and A-Heng amused. 

The two murmur between themselves the rest of the way home, and Lan Wangji makes no effort to listen in, allowing them their privacy.

The boys recognize one of the uncles as soon as they get to the Burial Mounds, one of the few not from Wei Qing’s branch. It winds up being a family reunion, if a bittersweet one because Bai-shushu confirms their parents died—their mother on the march to the labor camp, and their father taken by the smiling man and never returned. Like A-Tao and A-Mei, they’ll become cousins to A-Yuan and A-Zhi through Bai-shushu. 

“They did a good job, staying together and taking care of each other,” Wei Qing says, watching the boys as they cry tears of grief and joy. 

“And now they have more family to take care of them,” Wei Ying says, smiling softly. “The yuefu is bringing Wen children here, and may bring any Wen in hiding to us as well.”

“If not, it will still bring hope to them,” Lan Wangji adds. 

Wei Qing and Lan Wangji treat Wei Ying’s back before dinner, then wake him so he can eat. Afterward, they help get the children ready for bed and Lan Wangji organizes the mess of notes Wei Ying brought back from town that he has worked on while idle. 

The Nie disciples camp in the great hall, boisterous about the successful night hunt, which involved fierce corpses and several yao. They leave the next day after breakfast with a letter Wei Ying has written for Nie Huaisang, letting him know of their progress. 

The next day is not one of Wei Ying’s good days, so after his morning musical healing session, Lan Wangji lets him sleep instead of waking him to go to town with Wei Qing. He’s had a nice series of good days, so she isn’t worried, telling him to simply let him rest. So Lan Wangji spends the day working on sorting his recent notes and fielding A-Yuan and A-Zhi when they come together to check on “A-Die.”

“Baba takes care of A-Die,” A-Yuan tells A-Zhi, who nods seriously, letting his new brother explain everything to him. “Diedie sleeps after music and needles.”

They are not disruptive, so Lan Wangji entertains their questions and even shows them how to write their names, fascinating them, and eventually Popo comes to collect them. 

By the time Wei Ying wakes, Wei Qing and Wei Ning have returned from town with three children, two girls and a boy. When they leave the cave, they find the lotuses sprouting and are in time to stop A-Yuan from pulling one out. 

They are well on their way to fulfilling the yuefu. 

—————

Getting a new PCP this month and I have a long Covid appointment to see if they think I have it. I just want answers, you know?

Many thanks to adrian_kres, who also writes amazing fics, for being my awesome beta reader throughout this fic.

A-Zhi is named with the character for will, 志, pinyin zhì. Or at least this is the character Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji will decide upon.

A-Mei is named 美, pinyin měi, which means beautiful. Not demon or dark, I promise. Amusingly, apparently meimei, or little sister, sometimes uses this character. I can just imagine someone calling her Mei-meimei with all three characters the same. Or at least Wei Wuxian teasing. 

Qiuyue is named 秋月, pinyin qiūyuè, which means autumn moon. 

A-Tao is named using the character for peach tree, 桃, pinyin táo, the wood of which in Taoism is considered to repel evil spirits. He knows the meaning of his name and doesn’t need one chosen for him. 

A-Yun uses the character for cloud, 云, pinyin yún, and A-Heng uses the character for constant or persistent, 恒, pinyin héng. 

Bai means cypress/cedar tree, 柏, pinyin bǎi. 

I should specify that these aren’t going to be major characters (except maybe A-Zhi) but it felt awkward not to name them. This is largely so we can see how quickly their numbers grow with the children coming to trust them and even learning of a benevolent war-hero Yiling Laozu adopting and taking care of children and traveling to get in on the deal. Especially Wen children. Kind of an interlude chapter.

hello, i have a question and maybe you have the answer? when lwj took wwx to a cave on the burial mounds, was it his cave? because if so, didn't the 33 elders, lqr and lxc see the wen remnants? not that i think they cared at all after their wangji dared to go against them and the rules and the society and blah blah blah for wwx, but was it? because if so, they went to the siege still...? i see a lot of people talking about how jc KNEW and had a debt, but didn't they see...?

Lan Wangji did not take Wei Wuxian to a cave in the Burial Mounds; he took him to a cave in Yiling per Lan Xichen's own words:

"...Together, we searched in secret for two days before finding traces of the two of you in Yiling. WangJi had hidden you within a cave..."

—Chapt. 99: A Hatred for Life Part 2, boat-full-of-lotus-pods

Lan Wangji could not get into the Burial Mounds on his own and neither could any other cultivators outside of Jiang Cheng. But even if the Lan Clan members didn't go up and see the Burial Mounds settlement pre-first siege, Lan Wangji would have told them what he saw when he, himself, visited. The Jin had already verified who was missing from the labor camp when the emergency conference was held. Lan Qiren led the Lan contingent during the first siege. They had plenty of time and opportunities to figure out who the Wen remnants were and chose not to take them.

It's not that only one side character was evil and everyone else was just ignorantly misguided. It's that everyone willingly and gleefully participated in one of the most heinous acts in the novel, completely of their own free will despite having multiple chances to diverge from the path that led to baying for the blood of old people and toddlers and multiple examples of going against the crowd via Mianmian and Lan Wangji. Some may have more culpability than others for their hand in setting up the circumstances and leading the charge, but everyone else did their part in turning an indefensible massacre into a group project.

Summary:

“You were out late,” the figure on his bed says, bemused. Nie Mingjue lowers Baxia and then sheaths her. Something complicated fills his lungs—it’s shaped a little bit like fondness and apprehension. “You came.” Wei Wuxian rises from the bed, looking more like the dead he commands than flesh and blood. “You called.”

[curiosity-killed]

whipstitch deleted scenes: nightless city

WC: 1001

this was the original start to chapter 4 but got cut for pacing reasons

At first, Lan Xichen thinks he’s dead. The body slumped on the bloodred rock certainly doesn’t seem a living thing: gaunt, bone-white, lifeless. Fear rises steam-like through his chest, and he forces it to condense, to settle into the lake-deep calm of concentration. There is blood running down Wangji’s arm, and his brother looks only a few breaths from shattering.

“Wangji,” he starts, voice hoarse.

Wangji has to drag his gaze up from the body lying limp in his arms, little stuttering motions that draw his eyes up to Lan Xichen. The expression there makes him stop short, take in a sharp breath.

When their mother died, Wangji knelt outside of her house for hours on end with a stubborn hope straightening his back and rooting him before the door.

There is no hope in his eyes now. He looks unmoored, lost—his eyes are wide and begging.

“Xiongzhang,” he says.

Lan Xichen stumbles forward, reaching out for Wangji as if he’s still a child to be lifted up and carried on his hip.

He knows Wangji cares for Wei Wuxian, of course. His brother has never made friends easily, and Lan Xichen had encouraged this in the beginning. At the lecture in the Cloud Recesses, Wei Wuxian had seemed a bright spirit—clever and humorous and skilled—that might draw Wangji out of his internal seclusion and into the world.

Lan Xichen had never wanted it to be like this.

Jiang Wanyin stands beside them, blood soaked into his sleeves and skirts. It’s not his; no wounds cut through the purple and indigo silk to bleed out. Grief is a distant thing to Lan Xichen’s mind, familiar and faraway. Jiang Yanli had always seemed a kind spirit, patient and good-natured.

“Wei Wuxian has been captured! The Yiling laozu is ours!”

The cry goes up behind him, spreading like contagion among the cultivators still standing in the smoking field. He can’t track who starts it or picks it up as he stands frozen before his brother and the edge of a great and terrible cliff.

Wei Wuxian does not look captured. He is cradled in Wangji’s bloody arms, limp across his knees as if dragged there without resistance or aid. A streak of blood is painted over his cheekbone like a single stroke of scarlet ink.

“To the Burial Mounds! Let’s burn it down!”

Immediately, the cry is followed by raucous agreement.

“Burn the Wens! Take everything!”

Like a tide pulling back from the shore, Lan Xichen can feel the crowd turning and pivoting. They should be exhausted by the fight, but instead, they are galvanized and reenergized by their apparent victory. He doesn’t have to turn around to know his own disciples are waiting, eager for his command.

“Xiongzhang,” Wangji repeats, fear and doubt breaking through his gaze.

Lan Xichen swallows and shakes his head slightly. He doesn’t want this task. For the first time in his life, he wants to run away from his title and responsibilities. If he refuses to help take the Burial Mounds settlement, all of Gusu Lan will be denounced as traitors to all the cultivation world. Their rebuilding efforts, still shaky even with Jin Guangyao’s best support, will be burned down before the roofs are even raised.

If he goes, he will pierce his brother’s heart with a hundred swords.

“Wangji,” he says. He tries to make his voice placating, reasonable. It comes out hoarse, cracked, “Stay with Wei-gongzi.”

Please, he doesn’t beg. Please don’t fight.

Eyes wide, Wangji stares at him before his brow slowly furrows and he shakes his head. His arms tremble as he drags his feet underneath him. His whole body is shaking with exhaustion, spiritual and physical fatigue causing fine tremors through his hands and legs.

“Wangji,” Lan Xichen tries again.

“What are you—”

Jiang Wanyin is cut off by the sharp glare of Bichen unsheathing, letting out just enough spiritual energy to knock both of them back a step. On any other day, Bichen’s glare would be deadly. On any other day, Wangji would not turn it on his brother.

But today, Lan Xichen is exhausted and shaking with the same fatigue as his brother. He stumbles, trips back and falls to his knee. The jagged rock bites through his robes, cleaving into the skin stretched over his knee and bringing startled tears to his eyes. By the time he has pulled himself to his feet, Wangji is gone, vanishing west.

“What the hell is he doing?” Jiang Wanyin spits, knuckles white around his sword’s handle. A fresh cut bleeds down his cheek. “He’s going to kill them both. What the fuck, Lan Wangji!”

He snarls, turning and stalking back down to where his own disciples are surely waiting. Left alone on the edge of the cliff, Lan Xichen swallows ash.

They won’t win. Two cultivators, exhausted, crushed, cannot stand against three thousand. Even with the aid of the Wens still sheltered in Wei Wuxian’s encampment, they cannot win.

His brother is going to die protecting a man who has never loved him.

“Zongzhu?”

“Yiling,” he says, or someone else says with his own voice. “We go to Yiling with the other sects.”

Drawing in a breath, he forces his voice to come out steady and even. This is his task. He is the mediator, the bridge across gaping chasms. He will lay his body down if it can bring his brother to safety.

“Send a message to the Cloud Recesses,” he says. “I request the elders’ presence at the siege of the Burial Mounds.”

Wangji has always respected them. He’s always been the most devoted disciple—too much so, Lan Xichen had thought once. He holds tight to that belief now as he turns away from the cliff’s edge. Let it be enough. Let them bring him home. The sun rises slow and ashen through the grey clouds, and his shadow stretches long and wavering down the blood-streaked rock as he walks alone toward the end.

Wei Wuxian has never been a creature of the night, not intentionally at least. Despite the tendency to wake up at ungodly hours and finding it much easier to think and work in the evening, he enjoys sunlight too much to give up the luxury of basking in it. But the Yiling Laozu is a whole other story. Having spent many months in the darkness, he suddenly found it almost impossible to be out during the day. The light would hurt his eyes, make him squint, make him want to hide in the shadows or opt to go out into town when it's cloudy and dark. (Part of it was to let the darkness hide his exhaustion, the pallor of his features and the slightly older look that he shouldn't have yet come to possess.)

He still kept busy during the days, hiding in his cave or helping around in the settlement, but then of course the dead are more active at night, so more often than not he'd stay up until well after midnight and get up early to make himself useful (which only contributed to the exhaustion as a result).

[ID: A tweet thread by EternalContradiction @/relenafanel. Copied from alt:

#wangxian howl’s moving castle au where: - wwx is the yiling patriarch - the burial mounds move locations (to other famous battle locations) so one day the scenery is normal and the next it’s full of resentful energy and the yllz has come to town

-he leaves as easily as he arrives -tax evasion? nah. Well kinda. -he’s evading the big sects bc a war will start if any of them claim his power -plus like 50% of them are family members who think he’s dead and yuck. that’s sounds like emotions to avoid

(He promised his heart for power, you see) -lwj is the beautiful 2nd heir of the Lan sect -cursed bc he was dismissive of his beauty, claiming intelligence, skill & compassion to be more important traits -lwj is 🤷‍♀️ over no longer being young and beautiful.

(The curse just didn’t understand his point at all) -but something interesting happens when ppl see an old man they assume is powerless -he decides to use it against the looming threat of the yllz -and walks into the burial mounds.

-he’s surprised to find there’s already a settlement of ppl, most of them also elderly -granny takes him under her wing, calling him a young man -when he meets yllz the man looks at him carefully, turns to granny and whines “are the elderly multiplying? So many mouthes to feed”

-lwj is surprised the yllz is a cheerful young man trying to provide for a settlement by selling talisman in each town they stop at -instead of the dark dictator everyone whispers about in fear -lwj as an early riser is assigned to cleaning yllz’s dark cave and feeding him.

(Granny has a sense of humour) -the first time wwx tastes lwj’s food he spits it back in the bowl -completely undignified and embarrassing but why does it taste like that?? -he starts dodging meals and upending spice into what he can’t dodge.

-also why is his workspace clean?? -where’s all his stuff?? -he’s being harassed in his own home -it’s completely unliveable -he’s being forced to wake up earlier and earlier -why does he suddenly have more energy? It’s awful. -also why is it kind of hot? Is he into old men now?

-lwj has no idea why the yllz has started flirting with him -maybe the curse has slipped? -but no when he sees his reflection it’s still the same and the rest of the settlement treats him as an elder no matter how often WWX calls him gege.

And in truth the curse is slipping. It slips when lwj admires wwx’s intelligence (and face and body) and skills and compassion. It slips when wwx flirts with him and he’s exasperated and fond and pleased. Sure it slips while he’s sleeping but that’s not the first wwx notices.

And so they break each other’s curses wwx in learning to let someone new into his heart & lwj in someone finding him cute despite what he looks like (which was meant to be ageist and harmful and which reflects more on the caster than him).

Bonus: wwx: lan zhan you’re beautiful! lwj: and? wwx: what else is there? Oh, not about you. You’re very skilled and smart, but for the curse? lwj: ah lwj: you know about that?

And: wwx: wow gege you’re so strong. wwx: *flutters eyelashes* lwj: *ears flush, face turns young wwx: what the fuck wwx: no it’s ok I can work with this. Just felt conflicted for a week about my tastes but I can work with this.

And: wwx fluttering around the settlement chasing after lwj in true pick-me girl fashion: oh lan zhan you’re so good at everything. So virile and attractive Fourth Uncle: what the fuck? End ID]

The Laoshi and The Yiling Laozu by chiyukimei

The Laoshi and The Yiling Laozu

by chiyukimei (@chiyukimei)

M, 7k, Wangxian

Summary: Burial Mounds era Lan Qiren and Wei Wuxian had time travelled. - Lan Qiren narrowed his eyes. “You’ve heard of the Patriarch of Yiling before, boy?” Wei Wuxian watched his former teacher with suspicion, “Laoshi, you’ve been there when the sun was shot?” Lan Qiren nodded. Kay's comments: It's rare to find a Lan Qiren time-travels story that still feels close to his character like here. Though he's still a much nicer uncle than he is in canon, he actually needs some time warming up to Wei Wuxian after accidently time-travelling together with him. It's also extremely cute to see how much Wei Wuxian enjoys running around younger Lan Wangji and playing with him. Excerpt: A few days later, Lan Qiren caught sight of Wei Wuxian running alongside Lan Wangji, trying to make him smile and shouting non-stop: Lan Zhan this, Lan Zhan that. He tried hard to not roll his eyes at that childish behavior. God forbid, this man was twenty years old, and still, had no trouble blending in with the fifteen-year-olds. After Wangji left, he stopped Wei Wuxian. “What are you doing?” Wei Wuxian asked with a surprised face, “What am I doing?” Lan Qiren, “Why are you pestering Wangji?” Wei Wuxian bit his lower lip, “I’m not pestering him. I just want to be friends with him.” Lan Qiren, “Why?” Wei Wuxian happily exclaimed, “Isn’t it obvious? He is an upstanding, righteous, and beautiful person. Who wouldn’t want to make friends with him? If he smiled a bit all the sisters would be running after him.” “…Hmm, maybe that’s a good thing he doesn’t smile. You don’t have to deal with all those ladies Laoshi!” Lan Qiren grumbled, “Shameless!” Wei Wuxian, “Hah! That’s what Lan Zhan says, all the time! I really forgot how strict he was even when he was a teenager.”

2. Hi! This is for ITMF. I want a semi-serious (?) And slice-of-life fic. I dont know how to explain it. Just an example like WWX in his yiling laozu ers tells people in yiling that that person who sells talisman from yiling laozu is a fraud. And then it snowballed to people ask his service to banish monster or something and WWX reputation gets better. But the story focus on WWX everyday life like he make new inventation or trying to describe his cultivation. An example maybe something like Just as the Snow Melts by draechaeli or if a modern fic it is something like I Don't Want to Debut! By countingcr0ws or Anything For Wei Ying by panda_desu.

5. I love your blog so much! It helps me find fics i sometimes unknowingly overlook, so...thank you so much! Itmf fics in Lan Wangji's POV, any AU works but if its canonverse, may I request it be novel or donghua canon please? Also have another request for wangxian recs...jealous Lan Wangji because Lan Xichen flirted with/dated/fucked Wei Wuxian in the past (could be a rumour but I'd prefer him to have heard/seen it happen and decide he wants Wei Wuxian for himself)...any AU!

6. hii this is for itmf!! modern au or not but just anything where wwx gets pregnant with lwj's child and runs away for whatever reason without lwj knowing that they have a child together and then years after they will have a reunion and the big reveal. I just love tropes like this and idk what tags i have to place to get these results (so if anyone can kindly guide me on what tags are the best to look for these fics, i will be so grateful!!)

7. Hello, for itmf id like ask for work in modern premises where lxc and others accidentally or semi intentionally killed wwx and conspired to never talk about it. Lwj is relentless in searching for wwx. Canon period is ok if there is no canon conflict as the reason @best-before-end

~*~

8. Hi! For the ITMF, I wanted to ask if there are any fics where WWX died at the end of the war? I don't know if it's hc or canon but I keep having the thought that he didn't expect to survive the war without a core. I was wondering how it would have been if WWX over did it or something and died. I'm looking specifically for him dying at the end when the sun shot campaign isn't hindered by it, I suppose. Thanks to everyone in advance! @hikato-chan

~*~

9. heyo! can you rec me a canon compliant/canon divergence wangxian fic that

A) has one of them explore his sexuality, identity, all that good stuff

B) has both of them explore the above together

basically i just want fics where wangxian explores and accepts their own queerness and sexualities and it's a verh lovely time, hehe

~*~

10. Itmf fics that highlight how sweet wen ning is, and his friendship with wwx. (Also any sweet-yet-badass wen ning stories, esp if wen ning gets the recognition he deserves, with a good title/respect etc.)

~*~

11. For the next imtf, can you recommend me some of your favorite non English FFs on Ao3

I’m sorry, Good bye by NHaraki (M, 35k, WWX/WRH, WIP, Jiang Family Bashing, Time Travel Fix-It, YZY Bashing) I translated it via Google Chrome and it was fine. It's an WWX/WRH fic where WWX returns to his childhood after the Siege. Stuff happens, YZY throws him into the burial mounts and WRH finds him. It's a lot of healing and hiding WWX. Found family. WC is raised better. It's adorable

~*~

12. I recently finished reading a wangxian fic told from Jingyi's POV and in that post-canon fic, everyone loves and lusts for wei wuxian to the point many believe its not even possible for his original body to have been better in terms of attractiveness. So itmf of wangxian fics with like...sorta similar premise in the way everyone loves/lusts for/is awed by wei wuxian to the point of hero-worshipping/using him as a standard for future spouse, etc. Lots of wei wuxian swooning and sighing about not finding someone better than him and so on please!

~*~

13. any truth spell/potion fics for itmf? as long as it’s not a sad ending i’m game for anything involving the truth being revealed in some manner like this!

From the next chapter of “the thread may stretch or tangle but it will never break.”

—————

The response from Yunmeng is swift, with Jiang Cheng showing up personally with multiple disciples within days. During that time, Wei Qing didn’t go to Yiling, and the magistrate sent a messenger to the Burial Mounds to inquire her whereabouts; he came away with details of the Jin-sent attack, and apologies that they may not be able to return to Yiling for some time. Already ailing villagers have come to the base of the Burial Mounds, at least those desperate enough, and she treats them once they’re brought to the settlement by Wei Ying and Lan Wangji, sometimes with Wei Ning’s assistance.

All of them seem stunned by what they see at the settlement: peaceful people simply farming, the laughter of children playing, and none of the rumors of the Yiling Laozu evident. The lotuses have sprouted, though it will take time for them to bloom, but so far the commoners are witnessing the truth of the yuefu. In truth, having patients come to them will enable positive rumors to spread, something Lan Wangji is certain will help.

[mxtxfanatic]

In less than three days, almost all of the cultivators learned a terrifying piece of news: Wei WuXian, the one who defected from the Jiang Sect and made his own home in Yiling, had created the the highest level of fierce corpse yet.

—Chapt. 75: Distance, exr

I still maintain that Lan Wangji attempted to tell his brother the truth about the Burial Mounds settlement, and Lan Xichen took that information right to Jin Guangyao.

Great news! The Yiling Laozu is a Cutsleeve!

Great news! The Yiling Laozu Is A Cutsleeve! by Luluko Kururugi

Sometimes, all it takes is one rotten conversation for the world to change tracks. When Jin Zixuan inadvertently insults Jin Guangyao's mother, Jin Guangyao hatches the perfect plan for revenge. He will make Zixuan perfect wife, his precious A-Li, look like the whore of the Yiling Laozu. It works better than expected--and he expects the Yiling Laozu to erupt in fury and draw the sects' anger any moment now.

Suffice to say, Nie Huaisang isn't very thrilled with that option. After all, if the sects have to fight the Yiling Laozu, his Da-ge will be on the front line. And scandalous gossip about a demonic cultivator will always be more interesting than the life of a rather unimportant woman. And so - another rumor replaces the first. "Have you heard? The Yiling Laozu is a cutsleeve!"
