#young wei ying

[kachawo]

What if Wei Ying turned out different? What if he had gone through much worse as a homeless child?

Heaven knows what his life was like before Jiang Fengmian found him, but it surely wasn't friendly. What if that changed him so much? The trauma ingraining itself into his brain that it becomes his main source of survival?

Yiling was a badly managed town, even the children saw that. And among the cultivation sects, none were really keen on investing their time and materials on withered soil, especially the nearest jurisdictions of Qishan Wen and Yunmeng Jiang.

That's why in Yiling, everything tagged crime can be stashed away, hidden into, escaped out of. Sects turn a blind eye to it, hell, even the previous Baron of the land didn't bother reclaiming Yiling because of its high crime rate.

It built itself up by blood money and fear, and with the Burial Mounds so close in vicinity it was much worse.

Anything and everything illegal was practically spoiled culture there.

Especially,

Especially slave traders, especially human trafficking. There was no authority to call upon, no one strong enough of a will to stop it. And so whenever Yiling hears the heart-dropping sound of golden bells chiming, the heavy hooves of a bull that carries with it a large wooden cage. They do nothing.

They can do nothing.

And there goes A-Ying, freshly orphaned, still getting a hang of wandering around the streets he would have to call his new home.

The first time it happened, his face got too close to the torch while he panicked. The large men and their ropes scared him too much and he wanted them to let go let go let go-

They didn't like how he moved around too much and tightened the noose around his neck, A-Ying suddenly couldn't breathe. He felt the bones of his weak throat cave on itself and it hurts. It hurts. It hurts. It hurt so bad. It made him thrash around the cage widely, using his remaining air to scream so violently that would have guaranteed his broken throat.

In his panic attack he hit his head on the splintered pole used as a torch on the corner of the cage they threw him in.

A-Ying didn't think he had the strength to scream about it, but apparently he did. He realized later that the graining sound against his ears were his blood-curdling cries, and that he couldn't feel the left side of his head.

They never took him, in the end. The slave traders complained loudly that he damaged himself and would be of no value. The large man who tied him up, held him by his hair and threw him out of the cage.

After that it was black.

You'd think that after that experience, Wei Ying would have known how to escape people like these then.

He should have died. He should have died a long time ago. When the slave traders lured him in with promise of a meal, when a drunk man mistook him for someone else and beat him with shattered wine jars, when a cultivator feigned kindness and Wei Ying took his hand--

A-Ying should have died when he was 5 when-

Wei Ying should have died when he was 7 when-

When-

It hurts. It hurts. It hurts. It hurts. Someone stop it STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT STOPITSTOPITSTOPITSTOPITSTOPSTOPSTOP

He can't be blamed! He can't deal with it! The ringing in his head has made itself a home in his head a long time ago and at that point its been a part of his life.

He's half-blind, half-dying, half a body, full of scars.

Wei Ying can't be blamed.

So when a man comes to him, on a cold winter night calling his name-- he can't be blamed.

(That was used on him several times, several ways, at this point the whole world knows his name. Maybe they were never addressing him really? And it's just so his foolish brain responded to every call hoping it was a-niang or baba who came back to get him.--

Hoping. He was hoping. Such a silly thing to do these days.)

The man wore purple robes, was surrounded by many people with purple robes. One of them approached when he didn't respond.

Wei Ying was 11 by now, 12 almost, he couldn't be blamed.

The robes were different-- a dark royal hue, but it was the same color of the- the same- and the man was approaching him too quickly he-

A child was never supposed to go through this pain. Wei Ying wouldn't know this, but he couldn't be blamed. A small tooth-dagger was plunged into the cultivator's abdomen and the man shrieked--- he couldn't be blamed.

He ran and ran and ran, the man who called his name ran after. His feet didn't acquaint well with the cold solid ground, it burned his skin ironically, but he ran with only fear to power him.

The man grabbed him by the shoulder and said his name again-- Wei Ying couldn't hear anything amongst the rapid beating of his own heart. Couldn't see quite clearly, couldn't think quite straight, he feared.

Wei Ying couldn't have been blamed. When carriage wheels screeched to a halt but it was too late-- and the man in purple had to let go of him one way or another.

He didn't stay too long to see what happened to him. He just ran and ran and ran.

Until there was no ground to run on. Until Yiling was no longer seen. Until he felt the last of his breath stolen from him.

Wei Ying falls falls fall-

His eyes close on their own, they can't be blamed.

Jiang Cheng said that Lan Wangji truly must be suffering having to put up with Wei Wuxian every day. This was Wei Wuxian's response.

Jiang Fengmian and Wei Changze decidedly to bring Wei Ying with them to the conference because they fear what the child would do if left alone back in Lotus Pier - they could be back to see the sect flourishing under the guide of a 8 years old or to disciples running around in panic because their second young master burned another building or just disappeared (or worst, both).

This time the conference was in Qinghe Nie's Unclean Realm and the tension was a little higher than normal due to Wen Ruohan. Fortunately, Wei Ying seemed oblivious to it, looking around with sparkling curious eyes.

Recently, the leader of the Wen sect started to amass power, more than normal, and acting, unsurprisingly, arrogant and making everyone else uncomfortable in a way. No one wanted to offend him or to get too much of his attention, the only one going against common sense was the currently Nie sect leader, and Wei Changze worried.

Maybe it wasn't the best choice to bring Wei Ying.

Sighing, Wei Changze followed his leader and brother around with a polite smile and a hand against his son's small back to guide him to walk with them (and to know when he decides to run away from what he calls "boring adult stuff"). They made small talk with other sects, greeting whoever they knew when passing by, introducing Wei Ying to other kids around in hopes he would behave like his age for today.

"Jiang zongzhu." came the greeting when they were returning to their seats as the conference was about to begin.

"Wen zongzhu." Jiang Fengmian bowed, followed by Wei Changze and Wei Ying.

"Ah, is this the famed brother?" the sect leader looked at the man with grey eyes with an empty smile.

"Wei Changze is honored to be noticed by sect leader Wen." he bowed formally.

"Wei? I thought you would adopt your father's name at first opportunity." the smile turned a bit ironic before looking down to the child behind his father's leg, pausing for a moment "And who is this?"

"I'm Wei Ying." the child said, bowing as formally as his father did.

"Ah, the little genius the Jiang clan caught." Wen Ruohan nodded a greeting back "You have your father's eyes. But your face..." with intensity, the sect leader crouched down to the child's level and analyzed his small face "Do you know your mother's family, perhaps?"

Wei Ying shook his head "Only a-die's...."

"I see..." Wen Ruohan lifted his hand and held Wei Ying's face, turning from side to side with delicacy "It's curious how much you look like that woman."

"What woman, if I may ask?" Wei Changze was starting to sweat in nervousness.

Wen Ruohan turned back with a smile "The woman I wanted to marry before my wife."

"Before your wife?" Wei Ying asked.

"Yes. I was a young man in love, you see. But then my father arranged my marriage and that woman ran away and I never saw her again. Perhaps she was with my first born in her belly?"

"Hm.... My mother? The first born?"

Wen Ruohan's eyes widened, together with Wei Changze's.

"A little genius, indeed." Wen Ruohan laughed.

A rather familiar laugh that made Wei Changze shiver.

"Father, it's time." a new voice approached them.

"A-Xu, come." Wen Ruohan said, without looking back "Meet your jiejie's son."

"Jiejie?" Wen Xu looked curious.

"Yes."

Both Wen Ruohan and Wei Ying turned to look at the young man with identical smile that shocked everyone that was looking (and eavesdropping) at the scene.

"I see." Wen Xu said after a moment "Nice to meet you. Apparently, I'm your... uncle."

"Perhaps we could arrange a visit after this conference end, what do you think?" Wen Ruohan booped Wei Ying's small nose with a smile.

"Eh~" Wei Ying lifted an eyebrow then shrugged "Ok."

Wei Changze would definitely drink until he passed out that night just to run away from his worries for a few hours at least.

He definitely should have left Wei Ying behind.

[mitchmotch]

I'm so interested in your Anastasia au! will you tell us more?

yes of course i will! @revalito and i are genuinely so elated that so many people like the au HEHJKSDHJKS i will always want to talk about it trust

i don't know if there was something specific you wanted me to talk about, so i'll just talk about their time in the cloud recesses when they were younger =]

as i said before in my tags, wwx found lwj sitting outside the gentian cottage waiting for his mom and that's how they first met--he brought him a blanket and something warm to drink and offered to sit next to him. after that wwx would find lwj every now and then and hang around a bit but not for long. that does.. imply that his parents died sooner but well. HEJDSJKSD we figured one of the servants was his dad's close friend that agreed to babysit wwx for a while before they died, so now at least wwx has someone that was considered family (and that can tell him about his parents)

wwx didn't actually start working as a servant until he got older and that's when he was really allowed to interact with lwj. silly little comments turned into prompts to speak more and eventually, they'd have "conversations" (lwj would listen, wwx would talk) as wwx did what he had to. one day lwj asked wwx if he would be allowed to be a personal assistant on a quick task he had to do outside of the cloud recesses, and of course that's allowed. and that's the loophole they found to spend more time together =]

lxc knows about lwj's crush. he could read it on him easily HEJKSDJK i'd like to think one time wwx was called in to serve something to them, and as he did he made some comment to lwj. lwj acknowledged him with a small uptick of his lips and lxc was just ⁉️⁉️⁉️ HEHKJDHJKDHDJK he starts making excuses for wwx to go see lwj. the first time he asks a servant to call for wwx bc he needed something delivered to his brother it started a rumor within the servants immediately. this is where the teasing among them began HEHJKSDJKSDK lxc is the main reason why eventually wwx is the main servant/one of the only servants for lwj

wwx starts learning about cultivation in his free time--and we'd like to think the gusulan sect would set aside a teacher for willing servants on their breaks--but he never attends any actual classes. it isn't until they accept guest disciples when they're around 15/16 that he even entertains the idea. he probably makes a side comment to lwj, like "ah, guest disciples… it would have been nice to attend a class or two.." and lwj is immediately like i'm on it. he talks to lqr to attend the classes and ofc here lan qiren doesn't Need lwj to be a good example to wwx like he does in the novel, but we think lqr would still want to show him off HEHJKSJKSD also, lxc is probably like "it would be nice if wangji had more friends =] perhaps if we have wwx in there (someone he is already comfortable with) he would be more willing?" and that seals the deal HEJKSDHJKSD wwx is invited to his classes to be a "personal servant" to keep up appearances, but he is there to learn.

of course some other people there aren't to keen on the idea of having a servant in the class with them, so this time when lqr calls on wwx, it's not to test him, it's to prove his worth. he knows wwx and lwj are friends so in his head, his justification is that disciples are offending wwx -> they're offending lwj -> lwj is his nephew -> they are offending lqr too. ofc. HEHJKDSJKSDK lwj defends wwx in his own ways.

nie huaisang is the first to go up to wwx to chat and they become good friends, and since wwx is friends with lwj, nhs becomes friends with him too. it's a funny dynamic but lwj inwardly thinks it's nice.

thank you sm for asking! <3

The Lessons We Have Learned by sami

New Young Masters 6 chapters (complete) 24k words

"Yao has always been a dick," Wei Wuxian says, and Jin Chan can't believe his ears, either. That the Yiling Patriarch would speak so disrespectfully of a sect leader! "Clearly Yao Jian takes after him. So why is Jin Chan in trouble?" He gives Jin Chan an appraising look.

Lan Sizhui just looks at Jin Chan.

He swallows. "Fighting," he says, voice barely above a whisper.

Wei Wuxian's eyes narrow. "And why were you fighting?"

Lan Sizhui smiles encouragingly.

Jin Chan takes a deep breath. "Yao Shaoqing made Wen Changming cry," he says. "Wen Changming was nice to me, he - he's a good person. And Jin Rulan and the Jiang twins looked like they were going to fight him, and it would be a big problem if the sons of Jin Zixuan or Sandu Shengshou were fighting Sect Leader Yao's son, but if it's me then - it's not such a problem. I'm nobody important. I don't matter."

He lowers his eyes so he doesn't have to see their expressions.

"You matter, Jin Chan," Wei Wuxian says in a gentle tone. "Everyone matters."

Jin Chan bursts into tears, at that.

Jin Chan is one of the minor characters in the novel. We also meet him in the manhua, the donghua and The Untamed versions of the novel. He is not a sympathetic character, a bit of a bully in fact. Yet, the universe to which this story belongs can be kinder to such characters.

We meet Jin Chan (courtesy name Ruchan) in the universe that Author sami had created through several works in the series titled The Same Moon Shines, where he begins in somewhat the same vein as canon and then changes over the course of the two stories in the series, The Lessons We Have Learned being the first.

I talked about the "New Young Masters" here because it follows the events of And Time Is But a Paper Moon by sami, which I have reviewed earlier. The Young Masters of that era are grown up but will show up in the story.

These New Young Masters, with an age range of 14 through 20, are attending the lectures in Gusu because, well, most of them are related to each other. You do not need to read the original work of fiction to enjoy this one (but I highly recommend you do so later).

The story follows the lectures, centering on Jin Chan and Jin Xuanyu (son of Jin Guangyao and Mo Fan). The two share a room with Jin Xuanyu's younger brother, Jin Kang.

Jin Chan learns to make friends, plays a cultivator game, and attends the [in]famous training exercise that is essentially a contest between Wei Wuxian and Jiang Wanyin to see who can "kill off" the largest number of juniors during a simulated night hunt. (No Xuanwu of Slaughter is harmed in the hunt.)

This is a story about gaining new family. And about a budding romance between Jin Xuanyu and, as Wuxian rants at Lan Xichen, a Lan "with all your irresistible Lan sexy powers!" Definitely good reading over an afternoon or two.

[I'll provide a follow-up recommendation for the second chapter in the continuation of this saga soon.]

OP how dare you keep this in tags, everything about this AU is PERFECT

Yes yes Yiling Wei Sect teaching safe and controlled demonic cultivation is very sexy but I think too many people overlook that Wei Wuxian is first and foremost an inventor! He is a man of science! Manipulating resentful energy and doing necromancy is only ONE of the many things this man has done or come up with that changed the cultivation world. Yiling Wei Sect AU where the burial mounds are crowded with workshops and laboratories, forges and studios. Little shidis run errands, fetching and carrying crafting materials, and in addition to the older disciples teaching cultivation there are also classes held for mundane trades and crafts, to be combined and reworked in new and incredible ways. Talismans, enchanted objects, spiritual tools and weapons, useful gadgets. Workrooms full of long, low tables where disciples work shoulder-to-shoulder on their newest inventions, shouting ideas and suggestions from one end of the room to the other. Swords are still traditional, but the Wei Sect is always inviting guest instructors to teach other forms of weaponry, and it’s not unusual for a student’s actual preferred weapon to be something other than a sword. Classes are chaos, students are encouraged to argue and debate, and no topic is ever considered “mastered” even by the teachers – there is always more to learn, to explore, to invent or re-invent. We teach all that is known, but not all that IS. Respect the old ways, but don’t be mindlessly obedient to them. Yiling being the fantasy equivalent of the most technologically advanced city in the world. Not all the things the Wei sect come up with are strictly for cultivation, after all. There are talisman-powered looms and plows that pull themselves and little crystal charms that store spiritual energy so that even non-cultivators can activate the flameless lanterns that light the town and the moving platform that will carry them up the mountain path, if they have right or reason to go visit the burial mounds. What I’m saying is that they’re all nerds. They’re all nerds, is what I’m saying.

[loomka]

always found it weird that wei ying wasn't wearing the yunmeng 'uniform' in neither the donghua and drama when he was a teen - like, he's an important clan member. he's the clan's leader's adopted son and represents the clan alongside jiang cheng too

i'm pretty sure there's no description in the book regarding his clothes in the past - maybe expect for his iconic red rubon - but i've read it a while ago and could be wrong

anyway i know for a fact wwx would still rebel and wear mismatch clothes and colours to piss off the grown ups tho

thinking about that makes the trio's downfall even more painful tbh

Through gritted teeth, in a deep tone of voice, vibrating with irritation, Wei Wuxian said:

"Huaguang-jun, what did you do? You finally managed to drag me back to Gusu. Are you satisfied now?"

This is Lan Wangji's turn to dream with Wei Wuxian from the past. The Yiling Patriach is back thanks to the incense burner.

[allpiesforourown]

Idk if I've ever posted this on here but I will always love the idea of Lan wangji thinking Wei Ying is a teen parent. Because from Wei Ying point of view things went like this

1. Leave gusu at 15 to go to another school

2. Adopt young Wen Yuan when you're 20 and he's a toddler

But from Lan zhans point of view it was

1. Your crush who flirts with everyone randomly left your school (but his brother stayed so why???)

2. You meet him again a few years after he left and hear him say he birthed his son himself and his son is ... also a few years old . Oh my god he had to drop out because he was pregnant

1. Hello! Thank you for being doing this, I find so many things I haven't read! Today, I'm in the mood for any fic where WWX is really shy only around LWJ, like, incredibly nervous, and they end up together eventually, maybe one where LWJ is the one who flirts, subtly, in his way and WWX loses his mind over it 😂 @ghostwolf-93

2. I am in the mood for a fic with dark Jiang Cheng (maybe even demonic cultivator Cheng) and some Jiang Cheng/Wei Wuxian pairing. It could be alternate universe where they didn't grow up like siblings and I would like some arranged marriage between them. It doesn't have to come through and the endgame can be different pairing. I am curious if there is such fic out there.

3. hello and thank you so much for what you do!!! I just read "although my mind is young, it is not gentle" by everythingispoetry and I was hoping you could recommend me something similar?

6. I am in the mood of fic with some body swap trope. I mean like if Lan Zhan swapped his body with Wei (maybe some magic went wrong) and both have to pretend to be who they are not. Or it could be bodyswap with any other character. Lan Zhan and Huaisang or Wei and Mingjue or anyone else. I think there is big potential for great stories in there. No modern aus or gender swap please.

7. ITMF request pls 🙏🏻 there's quite a few reincarnation/time-travel fix-its where either both WWX and LWJ retain their previous memories, or only LWJ but not WWX. Are there any where WWX retains his, but not LWJ? Thank you in advance ♥️♥️

Practical Mythology by metisket (T, 17k, WangXian, Time Travel, YLLZ WWX, myths and legends, apparently the burial mounds has to fix everything itself, zombie farm collective, accidental deities, Families of Choice, WWX has no idea what he’s doing, that’s why he’s doing great) WWX travels back in time & becomes known as a powerful immortal. Baby!LWJ grows up on the myths

Last(?) Loop by PyrrhaIphis (T, 9k, WangXian, Canon Divergence, Time Loop, Implied/Referenced Character Death, Implied/Referenced Child Abuse, before the Cloud Recesses study arc) WWX is in a timeloop, but told from pov of LWJ, who is not in the loop

❤️ And Time Is But a Paper Moon by sami (M, 138k, WangXian, XiChengQing, Time Travel, Fix-It, Everyone Lives/Nobody Dies, Healing, Mental Health Issues, PTSD, Hurt/Comfort, Depression, BAMF WWX, BAMF JC, BAMF LWJ, BAMF JYL, Getting Together) multiple podfics and translations into multiple languages available

Wish me luck by starlight1395 (Not Rated, 164k, WangXian, Fix It, Time Travel, Angst, PTSD, Hurt/Comfort, Flashbacks, Nightmares, Slight fluff, Implied Sexual Content, Lots of tears, canon levels of blood/violence, Minor Character Death, secondary character death, Sibling Bonding, JC curses alot, battle scenes with appropriate levels of violence and blood, semi mild smut, it's emotional and soft smut tho so it's okay, mild Self-harm)

Lay my body down by tawaen (M, 48k, WWX & WQ, WWX & WN, wangxian, WWX & JYL, Canon Divergence, Time Travel, Rogue Cultivator WWX, Eventual WangXian, No Golden Core Transfer, Not Cultivation World Friendly, Canon-Typical Violence, Not JC Friendly, What if WWX saw the first siege of the burial mounds and said Nope to the war, OCs, OC point-of-view for one chapter for plot reasons) has WWX's soul zip back to the moment JC strangled him. The memories are incomplete but I think it still counts?

We’ll Build A Dynasty (one the heavens can’t shake) by One_eyed_God (T, 66k, WangXian, WWX & WQ, WWX & WN, WWX & JYL, canon typical Jiang family dynamics, BAMF WWX, Canon JC Characteristics, POV Outsider, Hurt/Comfort, Pre-Relationship, WWX is a Wen, Sect Leader WWX, Genius WWX, The Casual Intimacy of Hand-Holding, A Love Letter to WWX, Not JC Friendly, Time Travel Fix-It) is one where WWX is the only one to travel, but the story is told from everyone else's POV

two guys r in love thats literally it by victortor (M, 11k, wangxian, Time Travel, the fluffiest thing ive ever written)

~*~

8. Itmf more like " dispersing clouds ". I Just love the wwx in it. He's written soo good there. Especially the aspect of him being a head disciple, the author wrote about it in such a way that he actually felt like a head disciple. That one paragraph about him waking up and going " 5 laps around the pier now. " It was soo hotttt! Helooo?

Everything else in the book was written so perfectly true to every character.

This book comes par with " 12 moons and a fortnight " for me NGL. @constellationdks

Just go forward like you mean it by tawaen (M, 101k, WangXian, WWX & WN &WQ, WWX & JYL, NHS & WWX, Canon Divergence, WWx does not attend the Wen indoctrination, WWX saves Lotus Pier, Inventor WWX, No Golden Core Transfer, Sect Leader JYL, JC Has No Golden Core, Bad Parents JFM & YZY, Not JC Friendly, but he gets a happier ending than canon so don’t look here for bashing) Like in Dispersing Clouds, WWX leaves the Jiang but spends time fixing the defences & interacting with elders & fellow disciples. I definitely feel it has similar vibes to that fic

The Wild Geese’s Tomb by The Feels Whale (miscellea) (T, 66k, WangXian, Time Travel AU, fixit, Temporary Character Death, all women live no women die, LWJ’s canonically intense feelings about everything all the time, WWX’s clinical depression gets treated and blamed on resentful energy, navigating gay marriage in ancient china by utiliizing class snobbery for your own ends, if you’re not sure whose fault anything going on in here is then blaming NHS is probably a good bet, WWX plays ‘summon LWJ’ it’s super effective!, the ‘unexploded cow’ approach to dealing with your enemies) CQL rather than novel canon, but it's too good to not recommend

~*~

10. Itmf: the most comforting and soft fic recs you have!

I want a happy ending and for it to be about Wangxian. I don't care about length, it can be a long, plot filled story, as long as there's plenty of fluff!

I'm talking lots of cuddles, soft kisses, non sexually bathing each other, hair brushing, things like that! Bonus points for the smell of sandalwood relaxing Wei Wuxian, but certainly not required!

Thank you all! @acebookdragon47
