The Hate and Love of family by Moonlit_dewdrops

The Hate and Love of family

by Moonlit_dewdrops

T, WIP, 20k, Wangxian & Sangcheng

Summary: Wei Wuxian gets sent home after the fight with Jin Zixuan. Jiang Cheng is right to have worried. Kay's comments: Sometimes. You just read Wei Wuxian getting put through a meat grinder named Yu Ziyuan, because he's your beloved blorbo. In this story, he gets punished by Madam Yu after he punched Jin Zixuan, luckily the Jiang siblings are there for him and get him to safety. Featuring some minor Sangcheng, the Nie brothers being awesome, the Cloud Recesses being a safe haven for Wei Wuxian and the most tender hurt/comfort post-study arc Wangxian interactions. Excerpt: Jiang Cheng knows he has to leave for Cloud Recesses. He has no idea when his mother will be returning but he knows he has to get himself and his brother out before then. Wei Wuxian’s condition hasn’t gotten better though it has not gotten significantly worse either. He had yet to regain consciousness. During the past few nights, Wei Wuxian tosses and turns restlessly from nightmares on top of the fever, crying out names in his sleep. Most of the time, it’s their sister’s, sometimes it’s Jiang Cheng’s, and other times even Lan Wangji’s name. During the day, he continues to plan how to get to Cloud Recesses, despite his exhaustion from the restless nights he had looking after his brother. Jiang Cheng, being fearful of something terrible happening hadn’t returned to his own bedroom to sleep. In fact, he had barely been sleeping at all, jerking awake every time he no longer heard his brother’s breathing. He only manages to get some rest after Jiang Xing and his assistants assured him that they will wake him up if anything happened.

Devotion of Love Chapter 12

It's Chapter 12! An angry plum has arrived! I wish you lots of fun reading this. A snippet of the chapter is under the cut.

„Ah, that is difficult. You have to promise me to hear me out and then to let me have a look, alright?“, Wei Wuxian asked of his brother. After his tense nod, he started to collect his own words and answered. „After your core was melted we went to the mountain to get you a new one. I told you it was because of Baoshan Sanren that you got a new core, but it was because of Wen Ning, Wen Qing and me. After you went up and had your blindfold secure on for the whole time you were sedated Wen Qing transplanted my core into you so that you can have a core to cultivate with. After the surgery, I got captured and thrown into the Burial Mounds. And the rest you know, sort of...“ He rubbed the back of his head. His nerves were climbing higher and higher waiting for a reaction from his brother. At last Jiang Cheng sighed and took a big gulp of the wine Wei Wuxian had brought with him.

„You wanted to examine me? Do it now“, Jiang Cheng spoke and observed Wei Wuxian coming to his side. „When have you learned to heal?“

„After you and Lan Zhan fought and ended in Ziwan during our guest lectures. I asked Wen Qing if she would teach me and she did. She never got to finish my training before she died, but I have all her memories about it in my head. Hm, just as I thought. I am still connected with the core. At the moment we have a kind of dual cultivation going.“

„I don’t want to dual cultivate with you! You’re my brother!“, Jiang Cheng screeched and scrambled away, knocking into furniture along his way. Wei Wuxian blinked and went over his observation before he broke out in helpless fits of laughter. „This is no matter to laugh about! We are brothers! We shouldn’t dual cultivate!“

„Sorry, sorry“, Wei Wuxian chuckled, holding his stomach and picking himself up from the floor he found himself on. „It’s just that your reaction to what I said was funny. You are right, we shouldn’t be cultivating like that. It should be your core and I am not sure it is wise or healthy to sustain a core from outside for so long. I actually am curious if that is why I felt so drained and destabilized. It couldn‘t all have been coming from the Yin Tiger Tally. Give me some time and I will sever the connection, alright?“

„No! You should have your core! What will you do without it? You know what resentful energy did with you!“ The protests were loud and made sense in a way, but Jiang Cheng didn’t know what Wei Wuxian knew.

Yunmeng siblings! I had fun messing around with their character designs to reflect my personal preferences in various ways.

#art tag #mdzs #yunmeng siblings #wei wuxian #jiang yanli #jiang cheng #i went down a rabbit hole for jiang yanli's outfit and im really happy w it #but now the other two outfits look plain by comparison to me. whoopsie!#i wanted wwx to be a bit of a tall beanpole with messy thinner hair bc I think that's cute #jc is a bit stockier by comparison and that confirmed one (1) cm shorter. he's always gotta lose by a hair's width #i love that aspect of him the most. i love a good vegeta character #and then jyl is ROUND and SOFT with SAD EYES bc im a HOMOSEXUAL #anyway enjoy!

I love Jiang Cheng and I hope you agree. The most tragic thing about yunmeng siblings is that JC and WWX really love each other the whole time… I like to think they can fix it someday

Someday perhaps....in the meantime, I bet he's loving having dogs run around lotus pier. As a WWX deterrent of course. No therapeutic reasons at all.

#Poorly Drawn MDZS #MDZS #Jiang Cheng #As much as I put him on blast #I do like JC quite a bit.#Man....I'm sad you're on anon cause I'd love to talk more about the yunmeng sibiling tragedy #Part of me so badly wishes that they do reconcile after some time #though a good tragedy comes from the pain of what could have been #JC is definitely in my top 5 mdzs characters and its absolutely due to how messy he is #ngl I can kinda relate to where his hurt comes from and it makes it very interesting to analyze.#Favourism and antagonism of parents messes up sibling dynamics so much #The grief and trauma ended up causing a rift not a shared moment of solidarity #JC is a counter-representation and a foil to how LWJ deals with his grief #as heartbroken as LWJ is he...keeps his life going. The grief settles and he doesn't forget but he *moves forwards*#JC doesn't! He can't! He has so much guilt and regret and the grief stagnates him! Love and grief can become so terribly consuming!#He's so human for it! This is a story where no-one is morally black or white! *People* aren't black and white!

WWX stans saying he would have been the best uncle and Jin Ling's favorite uncle like we didn't see the man see Jin Ling go through the most horrifying event in his life and witness his uncle (who was also one of his two guardians) painful, traumatizing death after the said uncle was dismembered and after some really earth-shattering truths being unraveled, and LEAVE THE BOY THERE CRYING WHILE STARING AT HIS UNCLE'S COFFIN to go fuck in the bushes with LWJ. Like not an hour after the incident, or even a quarter of an hour. no. right after that whole shitshow happened!

(And JL accusingly asked JC why he let them go! JL...my boy... the real question is why did THEY choose to go?! When WWX had a traumatized nephew & a literally and figuratively bleeding brother to take care of, and LWJ had a traumatized brother who seconds ago WAS WILLING TO DIE WITH JGY and LWJ hadn't yet made sure that LXC's willingness has ceased since!)

And then WWX didn't even go to check on JL after that! While JL was a 15 y/o sect leader dealing with the power vacuum left after the scandals of the previous sect leader who was also coincidentally the Xiandu, & going through a power struggle with one of the worst sects out there.

WWX asks after Jin Ling from the Lan Juniors instead of going to see him himself! When he next sees JL it's said that the news of his struggles had reached Wangxian in Gusu, meaning that WWX hadn't dropped by to check on JL to hear of these from JL himself and he hadn't dropped by to check in on him even after hearing these news! He was only there bc JL had invited the Lan Juniors for a field trip!

WWX shows his love with drastic, big, dramatic, sacrificial acts like giving his golden core to JC or transferring Jin Ling's curse to himself, but since he himself loves to run away from his traumas and his responsibilities, he's not someone who can be counted on to help his loved-ones with their traumas and responsibilities. He didn't do it with Jiang Cheng and he didn't do it with Jin Ling. He never even talked to Wen Ning about Wen Qing and the Wen Remnants. (Or how WN feels about being a zombie forcefully brought back to life in a world that hates and fears him)

Maybe diplomacy is not his strength and he'll only make things worse by trying to help JL with his sect leader duties, but it wouldn't have taken anything from him if he had only stayed by JL at least for the night after the Guanyin Temple, not even doing anything, but just being there. (And I understand that narratively it might have been a point in the story where some readers might want to see the main couple sail off into the sunset together, but all it would have taken for the main couple to be shown as less of a dick was adding a phrase like "the next morning..." or even "later that day" or something like that before writing about them disappearing into the sunset...or the bushes.)

I love Wei Wuxian, but post-resurrection Wei Wuxian was really...not particularly an ideal family member.

#mdzs #cql #the untamed #mo dao zu shi #chen qing ling #the grandmaster of demonic cultivation #jiang cheng #wei wuxian #yunmeng bros #yunmeng siblings #yunmeng shuangjie #twin prides of yunmeng #twin heroes of yunmeng #my two cents #Donghua did JC especially dirty bc JC WOULD NEVER GO INTO SECLUSION WHEN JL NEEDED HIM! NEVER!#his family always comes first for him especially JL!#and actually everytime he encounters a trauma he drowns himself in work after his due breakdown #that's how he copes #and also I'm gonna be honest with you good people #when I say I love Wei Wuxian I mostly mean CQL!Wei Wuxian. and then the WWX BEFORE the timeskip.#after the timeskip especially in the book WWX was kind of a dick and my love for him greatly decreased.#and personally I really don't like the main couple sailing into the sunset trope #the most interesting parts of the story for me are the side characters and the platonic relationships among the characters #and the place established as 'home'#(In this context I'm taking about LP just to be clear. not the CR.)#honestly the prospect of forever roaming some stranger lands with only LWJ of all people (love the guy but he's super boring) by your side #or even worse. living in Gusu! sounds super boring.#especially for someone like WWX.

when stuck in writing block, killing off a characters works like a charm

#writing #mdzs #brutally murdering jiang cheng #to unleash the most unhinged JYL&WWX mentally ill codependency #nothing like a man determined to make his sister the greatest sect leader ever as a coping mechanism #nothing like a woman giving up on her good reputation entirely to keep her brother by her side #jiang cheng's ghost watching this like “my siblings loved me... and now they're incapable of functioning on their own”#anyway scary guard dog wwx ruthless sect leader jyl rights #aus and ideas

I find the sibling dynamics in the untamed genuinely fascinating because like jiang cheng has all the flaws of a youngest sibling but he ALSO has to fulfill the roles and responsibilities of an oldest sibling (his family’s heir and leader of his clan) which results in a man who sucks so bad and fails so much 🥰 i love him

#he’s SUCH a good dude and he’s trying SO hard and he’s just set up to fail on every level #like youngest siblings have no conflict resolution skills because it’s their older siblings role to be the bigger person and fix things #but his literal societal role is suddenly conflict resolver #(my little sister has great conflict resolution skills because i raised her right! but she did not use them until college lol)#they have no gravitas or authority his whole demeanor is perpetually 5 years old yelling ‘wait for meeee!’#as he runs after people #but now he has to get all these adults to listen to him and respect him #it’s his job to provide for and protect everyone in his family and clan #but his closest family members still think he’s 13 and stupid and it would never even occur to them to ask him for help #how are you supposed to be taken seriously when the guy standing next to you is 2 seconds from giving you a noogie at all times!#also like… it sounds insane but there’s no way he thought that trying to kill wwx would mean wwx would be dead. not at all #youngest kids grow up kinda thinking their older siblings can take anything they can dish out?#like I know that jiang cheng could stab wwx through the heart and still expect him to stand up and make fun of him for being bad at stabbing #it’s dumb but it’s true!#sorry i haven’t even finished the drama but i see him. i see the truth #the untamed #thank u

honestly i wonder if the people who think jc didnt do enough to help wwx or any of that kind of thing ever had a really fucking complicated relationship with their older sibling

#like. there is a very specific feeling of knowing full well your mother thinks your older sibling is corrupting you #there is a very specific feeling of being really scared that one day she WILL flip out and decide your sibling should be dead #there is a very specific feeling of knowing your older sibling cant be trusted but you want to give them the benefit of the doubt anyway #because you're their little brother and you want to trust them and you want to know your mother was wrong and you can be good siblings #there is a very specific feeling of having so much love and so much fear and so much pain all centered around one person #and knowing that its neither of your faults that things are the way with each other. but you want to be able to blame your sibling anyway #you want to say your mother was right as she wanted your older sibling dead. that she was right you're both disappointments #man theres a reason i related to jiang cheng besides the aroace bitch vibes isnt there #braincell posting

can you imagine the first time, post-canon, that wei wuxian hears jiang cheng laugh?

#and i mean /laugh/ like full belly laughter #the juniors were probably running around lotus pier having fun and accidentally pushed someone into the water #if it's some kind of conference then it's probably sect leader yao #and the laughter is delayed because jiang cheng has to wait for him to be escorted back to his guest room #/and/ he has to pretend to scold jin ling for not paying attention and acting un-zongzhulike #but if it's just the usual suspects then it's probably wei wuxian who gets dunked which means #jiang cheng tries really really hard to keep the laughter in but the kids are on the floor and wei wuxian has something in his hair #and he looks like a wet dog and he's in a good mood and what is he going to do?#he's a younger sibling after all we're programmed to laugh when our older siblings fall <3 #they have us sign a contract #gosh idk i'm just thinking about yunmeng shuangjie again and the happiness they can have now that everything is done.#now that there's a brighter future to look forwards to #yunmeng shuangjie #jiang cheng #wei wuxian #untamed.txt #fra.txt

Jiang Yanli loves her brothers. She loves her family. She always has. But sometimes she pulls herself away. Because her family is broken and they tear at each other with the shards. She is sometimes so scared of getting hurt and hurting in return.

So she loves and smiles and cares and fears. She puts on a facade of peace in hopes that it'll become true. It's easy sometimes. Her brothers come to her to find peace and she offers it readily. But sometimes it's hard. Her father plants a knife in Wei Ying's hands and Jiang Cheng gets cut on the sharp edge. It's terrifying to see Jiang Cheng embrace Wei Ying even as he sees that knife.

She wants to slap herself. If she had tried harder, if she had been more than just a safe place, things could have changed. She wouldn't be sitting here in the middle of her youngest brother's room and staring blankly at the walls.

She'd noticed him writing, complimented him, smiled, had given him a hug. He'd always lit up back then. But it hadn't been enough. She didn't understand that writing had been his life, that his fingers had always been stained with ink, that he always had a brush in his pocket and words on his skin.

She stares at the walls now, noticing points where the ink runs out and then runs slightly red. She's heard rumors, about people like her A-Cheng who didn't mind destroying themselves in order to keep going. To stop would be to live a life worse than death.

She gets up and puts her fingers against the wall, where the ink starts to run a little red.

How had she not noticed her brother bleeding?

She presses her forehead against the wall, against the heart that A-Cheng had poured out with ink and cries.

Pure curiosity poll of the day for all of my followers: what was your initial opinion of Jiang Cheng and what type of sibling are you (oldest child/only child/youngest/etc.)?

Pls drop your answers and anything else you'd like to add in the notes or in my asks!

#I'm the oldest in my family and have a similar age difference as jyl and jc #so i do think that affected my way of looking at him at first interestingly #its the instinct of seeing a younger sibling as needing to be protected and the idea of them losing everything #including you... its scary!! it's really really scary #idk try not to get too much into hardcore jc discourse on here just giving my 2 cents #im fully aware that its very biased and not a good objective reading of the book by any means #jiang cheng #jc #cql #the untamed #mdzs #mo dao zu shi #gdc #the grandmaster of demonic cultivation #daily poll

happy valentine Shana!!! I can't believe i made it finally jgfcjjcgjgx i would love to see some fma (Sacrifice is free/ed&ling betrothed/What They Expect) or more of Lord Arthur De Bois, or time travel Jiang Cheng/drarry, or Avengers' Three Faced Goddess! (can anyone tell I Cannot choose favourites? They're all so gooood) and if none of those sound appealing, dealer's choice! thank you!!

continuation of 1 2 3 4 5

It's sort of awkward, because Eden insists on thick tights and long sleeves and keeps her gloves on, but Catherine takes it in stride and doesn't react with anything more than a single raised eyebrow. Maybe she thinks she has some sort of terrible skin condition on her limbs, or something, because she's perfectly fine with plunging necklines and the lacy bras Catherine shoves at her.

She hasn't worn anything besides a sports bra since she's had breasts. They're not exactly comfortable, but compared to the constant, background ache of the automail it doesn't even make a blip on her radar.

Besides. They make her look like a girl, shoving her breasts up front and center, and their size had been an annoyance when passing for a boy and a comfort when she looked at herself naked in the mirror, searching for the girl she was rather than the boy everyone saw, but this is different.

"Wow," Catherine blinks, tilting her head to the side.

Eden flushes and wishes that at any point she'd learned how to talk to pretty girls outside of life or death situations. "I hadn't realized they - I'm not used to wearing, um, girly stuff."

"You look good in it," she says, touching Ed's back and shifting her to face the mirror.

She's in black tights and boots with a chunky heel, taller than the ones she normally wears and sleeker, stopping just below her knees. She's wearing a dark green dress with a deep neckline. She's used to be hard lines and sharp edges, but she looks soft here, her hips and breasts curving out from her waist and the dress somehow minimizing the breadth of her shoulders, or maybe it's just that with all the skin on display in the center, her shoulders just don't get as much attention. She'd had to build them up, to make the automail balanced, to make sure her body could support it, and she'd always hated how masculine it made her look. But looking at herself now, she wonders if that just wasn't in her head.

Green's never been a color she gravitated towards, but the dark color makes the gold of her hair shine, brings out the warmth of her eyes and the pink of her lips.

"You're really good at this," she tells Catherine, throat tight.

Catherine grins. "You are a beautiful canvas, Eden. It was not difficult." Ed's face burns. "Do you have plans for dinner? We could have it at my home. I am, honestly, dying to curl your hair."

Ed hesitates, because her shade of blonde is rather distinctive, then takes a second look at herself in the mirror. No one is going to think she's the Fullmetal Alchemist looking like this. "Okay, yeah. Sure. That'd be great."

~

Catherine knows that Eden is military at first glance, seeing her elder sister in the way Eden stands and moves. She looks young, but she can't be that young, not when she has the stance of someone who's been enlisted for years.

She figures that Eden is looking for clothes to wear outside of her uniform for the first time and something in her softens at how insistent Eden is on keeping certain parts of her body covered. Her siblings have scars too.

When they get to their home, Eden seems slightly surprised at the grandness of her home, but gets over it quickly, which Catherine almost expected. She hadn't looked at a single price tag as they'd been shopping and had paid for her bags of purchases with a nonchalance that spoke of a familiarity with money, although that leaves Catherine to wonder how she ended up in the military in the first place. She hadn't gotten a last name out of her, but Catherine is familiar with most military families, and she would have heard if any of their daughters had enlisted.

"Your bedroom is so pretty," Eden says, looking around at her pink, frilly room filled with flowers and clothes and gilded in gold with a soft wistfulness.

Catherine loves her. "Thank you. Here, sit at my vanity, let's play."

Eden laughs and pulls her hair out of the hasty ponytail she'd pulled it into, letting Catherine run her hands through it and carefully brush out every knot. It's gorgeous, thick and silky and the most wonderful shade that Catherine's never seen on anyone else.

People always act so oddly with her because of her family, even those similarly situated looking down at her for her choices, to be neither an officer nor married to one, but that's just not what she wants right now. It's nice to hang out with another girl that just treats her like a friend.

"MY BELOVED SISTER HAS RETURNED!" booms from what sounds like the first floor.

She sighs.

Eden goes rigid in her chair, eyes wide. "What - why-"

"It's just my brother," she says soothingly, concerned with how pale Eden has gotten. "He's harmless, really."

"Brother," Eden repeats. "Fuck. Fuck! I'm so stupid-"

"It's okay," she says in alarm, "Eden, what-"

She gets to her feet, grabbing her hands and looking at her a desperation that Catherine doesn't understand. "He can't know I'm here. Who I am. Do you understand? It's important."

She doesn't understand. "Eden-"

There's the sound of heavy footsteps heading their way and Eden wrenches herself away, bolting for the other side of the room. She claps her hands together, then presses them against the wall, and in flash of light she's disappeared.

Catherine stares. mouth agape.

She's familiar with alchemy. The skill has been passed down her family for generations.

Eden didn't use a circle.

"I HEAR YOU HAVE MADE A FRIEND, DEAR SISTER!" Alex shouts, flinging open her door and flexing in the doorway. "I WISH TO MEET YOUR NEW COMPANION!"

She picks up a pillow from her bed and lobs it at him, hitting him right in his stupid curl. "We're having girl time, go away!"

"Ah, girl time!" he says. "A storied tradition that has been passed down the Armstrong family for many generations!" He looks around, seeing her empty room, and his eyebrows dip together.

She grabs a makeup brush, holding it up threateningly. "You know what else has been passed down our family for generations? The art of knocking! Go bother Momma!"

"Where's," he starts.

Catherine throws the brush, pointy end towards his eyes.

He ducks, retreating to the safety of the hallway and closing the door just in time for the brush to hit it.

She takes a deep breath, calming her racing heart and smoothing her hands down her skirt. She crosses the room, knocking against the wall and whispering, "Eden? He's gone."

There's nothing for a moment and then there's light and heat and she's looking at the the inside of her house, pipes and insulation, and Eden standing there in the center of it, eyes blown wide and lips trembling.

Eden, who won't let her look at her limbs and doesn't know how to wear girly things and uses alchemy without circles and recognizes her brother from his voice alone.

"I'm sorry," Eden whispers, arms wrapped around herself, trying to make herself small. "I just wanted-"

Catherine interrupts her, reaching out to place her hand over the arm Eden had been careful not to let her touch and is unsurprised to feel hard, unyielding metal. "The art of secret keeping had been passed down the Armstrong family for generations."

Eden's eyes snap to hers and Catherine smiles, squeezing her arm and hopes that she can feel it. Slowly, wondrously, Eden returns it.
