Nie MingJue, the unintentional kidnapper

Or that time A-Yuan almost got adopted into the Nie Sect

Nie MingJue is starting to get slightly uncomfortable. Sure, it has been decades since HuaiSang was a toddler (two decades, to be more specific), but surely toddlers need to blink more? The child is looking at him like he is the most mesmerising vision it has ever seen in its entire 4 years on earth.

He tries to glance through the door without being too intruding. He understands there is a touching reunion happening somewhere inside, and God knows he doesn't want to interrupt the Jiangs screaming and crying and hitting and hugging their wayward prodigal demonic cultivator, but surely someone else can take the child? Is it not a cousin of the Ghost General and her terrifying sister? Now he thinks about it, he is not so sure they are very fit guardians if they are willing to abandon their charge to any random cultivator. And the worst part is A-Yao, the person best suited to deal with this situation, has left with them, presumably trying to find a quieter resting place for the Wen remnants away from the chaos that is the 100 days celebration of the newest Jin baby.

He flinches when a soft finger cautiously pokes his cheek. The child grins guilelessly at him and says, "Pretty gege!"

Nie MingJue blushes to the root of braids. That's it! This child is obviously surrounded by unreliable people who would teach him utter nonsense or dump him in the middle of enemy territories, so as a responsible adult, it is his solemn duty to adopt the child (a boy? It is dressed as one, but who knows with Wei Wuxian?) and take it to Qinghe. He stands up with the child under one armpit, the child seemingly unbothered by being dangled like a sack of potatoes.

"He's mine!"

Lan Xichen's baby brother looks just as angry as he did on the day they first met, when he ended up biting HuaiSang. Except now he is almost as tall as MingJue, and he has already put the tip of his finger on his sword.

Rude!

Nie MingJue, a sect leader and the chief cultivator, is an older brother first and foremost. How can he resist ruffling Lan Er-Gongji's already ruffled feathers even more?

"I didn't know Wangji had a child."

Wangji bristles even further, reminding him of the time he accidentally stepped on Second Mother's cat's tail.

The child waves at him from his precarious position, "Rich Gege!"

Does Wangji's eyes soften a little? Nie MingJue can swear he saw a crack of smile in his lips. Surely, he is just hallucinating. The child chirps out again, "Pretty Gege!" pointing at MingJue. The room temperature plummets several degrees.

"GIVE HIM TO ME!"

If Wangji doesn't want to take over from Lan Laoshi, he can easily earn his living teaching enunciation to rich masters. Nue MingJue heard every syllable distinctly, including the single exclamation mark at the end. Is he serious?

Nie MingJue stares at him. He has heard rumours. The light bearing lord! The war has done awful things to the cultivators. Once kind, just men have been reduced to butchers with enough trauma to last a few lifetimes, but surely it hasn't changed the upright young man in front of him to such an extent that he was willing to...

He moves the child from underneath his arm and settles him down on the ground behind him.

"Look here, Wangji, he is just a child..."

He gets interrupted again by the same clear, obstinate tone.

"Give him to me! Now!"

Has Wangji lost it? Does he want to kill a child, practically a baby, to avenge his father and his sect? Does he really think he can get away with killing the adopted child of Wei Wuxian when Wei Wuxian himself was just a few doors away? Not to mention the Ghost General and the Jiang sect leader in the vicinity?

You can probably cut the tension with a blunt sabre. That's the first thing Lan Xichen notices when he walks in, the second thing being his brother and his best friend locked in a staring contest. Wangji looks like he is ready to start a fight, and Da-Ge has that little mocking smile, which means he is happy to indulge. Behind him, little A-Yuan is studiously examining the pattern on the carpet.

Wangji breaks the stare first. He turns to his big brother and says, almost petulantly,

"He's not giving A-Yuan back!"

Lan Xichen smiles and shakes a deprecating finger at MingJue in mock sensor,

"Now, now, what do you mean by not handing over my nephew to my brother? Da-ge! If you indeed want a child,..."

Wait a second! The jibe about the child being Wangji's, that was purely a taunt. Is it true? Did Wangji really have a child? A 4 years old? But, he begs your biggest pardon, Wangji is a child himself! How can he have a child? When? With whom?

Having his sympathetic brother on his side seems to encourage Wangji to speak further.

"A-Yuan called him pretty!"

If only people could see their Light bearing Lord pouting! Xichen tuts.

"For shame, Da-Ge!"

But before Nie MingJue can demand explanation, A-Yuan decides he has had enough of the carpet and stands up, then walks over to Lan Wangji in a brisk, businesslike manner, who bends down to pick him up without breaking eye contact with Nie MingJue and pointedly kisses the child's forehead.

Nie MingJue is pretty sure he is having a Qi deviation right now. Ah well, there are worse ways to go, he supposes.

#mdzs #mo dao zu shi #mdzs crack #pure crack #nie mingjue #lan wangji #a yuan #wen yuan #lan xichen #Just imagine Wei Wuxian brought the whole burial mound to the Carp Tower for Jin Ling's 100 days celebration #of course he and the Jiang siblings have a lot to catch up on #and Jin ZiXuan needs to hold the baby while patting Jiang Yanli on the back #And Jin GuangYao needs to somehow accommodate few extra dozen of people!

tbh i think the thing that kinda trips people up when it comes to analysing lwj is that his character progression is not a straight line

like, he spent wwx's first life in internal conflict over wanting to help him but knowing that he'd have to violate his boundaries to do so. in the end he still chose respecting wwx's wishes even if it meant certain death for him.

but still, he wasn't prepared for the emotional fallout of his death, even though he'd long ago accepted the possibility. he probably spent a lot of time agonising over what he could have done differently, because what human person wouldn't? but still there was no alternative solution. he still has the same dilemma of helping wwx vs wwx's consent.

this leads to lwj doing unhinged things upon wwx's resurrection, like dragging him kicking and screaming back to the cloud recesses (though i still maintain that wwx wasn't actually all that unwilling).

and then in qinghe, he lets him go again, reluctantly, but he does. while wwx had a new body, he wasn't exactly safe, there was always a risk of his identity being uncovered. there was at least one person who wanted to kill him already (JC still wanted to capture him despite being under the impression he is MXY, so his new identity wouldn't have saved him regardless). anyway, wwx was in danger, but lwj let him go anyway.

lwj's arc is not a straight line from struggling over consent but ultimately deciding it's the most important. he zigzags in his decisions. his moment of greatest diversion from his usual principles is when we're introduced to him at the start of the novel.

further into the novel, just like in wwx's first life, lwj doesn't intervene while wwx makes decisions that endanger himself (eg, the paperman trick, the spirit attraction flag). he doesn't forcibly take him to safety again like he did at the beginning of the novel. lwj made the decision once to protect wwx at the clear expense of his wishes, technically it worked out better for him than any other decision he'd made wrt wwx before. yet he never did it again

#mdzs #mdzs meta #lan wangji #it's just like how people often summarise lwj's character as essentially 'he was like x then he became like y'#no!!!!! it's not that simple!!!!!#and like #when people say lwj's character development all took place off screen after wwx's death...#like. what do you think is happening with all that kidnapping wwx insanity then shdkglg

Wei Wuxian is a young prodigious scholar renowned in cultivation world and the lans are very happy to host him during their yearly lectures. He wasn't adopted by the jiangs but still is a cultivator and scholar and damn good at it. The whole lan sect being the sucker for rules and books and knowledge, love the young scholar who is so famous while being younger than their second jade.

Now coming on to the angst 😈. Jiangs try to stake claim over wwx trying the card of emotional manipulation that his parents lived there. And jins try to betrothe wwx with someone of their clan. All this makes wwx so confused? Like he's kinda naive due to those emotional manipulation. In conclusion the lans get truly angry and snap. They show their secretly dark side and take their precious lan er furen with them.

Please do this one.

It took me some time to find a reasonable background for Wei Wuxian, so I hope you enjoy! (I actually wasn't sure if you wanted me to have WWX be alone growing up or not, so I'll make do with what I have.)

____________________________________________

When Wei Wuxian's parents went on night hunts, they typically left him in an inn with enough money for the few days they were gone. However, a particular harrowing night hunt that took many more days than usual caused them to come back late and find their son wandering the streets in rags. Wei Changze and Cangse Sanren went back to the inn and demanded their stuff back before realizing that this could not go on. If they left their son at at inn and didn't come back in time, what sort of horrors could befall their only son?

So they did the smart thing and left him with a trusted friend and scholar of theirs from the empire. They had met this traveling scholar while on the road and had saved him from a hoard of attacking monsters.

Since then, the scholar, Xu Fenghe, had occasionally employed them as his bodyguards and gradually became their close friend throughout the years. They knew his character and trusted him enough to take care of both their belongings and their child.

And, sure enough, one terrible night hunt later left little Wei Ying orphaned all at once. Xu Fenghe knew that the two did night hunts for income to feed their child and themselves, but they honestly shouldn't have taken such grueling ones knowing that they might not come back alive.

Fenghe mourned his friends and decided to take care of their child as if he were his own. He took their bodies back and buried them both near a beautiful magnolia tree near his house. And then, gently, he explained the concept of death to a young Wei Ying who shouldn't have needed to know of this.

The boy did not seem to understand death, but seemed to know that his parents would no longer come back. He became despondent for a while.

But as Xu Fenghe grew closer to the boy and adopted him, he opened up a little and within a few years, was the same bright, bubbly child, if just a little more subdued.

Xu Fenghe had no heir to his name but he had siblings that he had planned to pass his estate to when he died. Naturally, people thought that he would make Wei Ying his heir. But no, that child was destined to walk his parents' path and Fenghe did not want to restrict his adopted son from doing anything.

He gave the child his parents' cultivation method and allowed him free reign over his library. He even bought the child talisman paper and research materials and whatnot.

It goes without saying that Fenghe doted on Wei Ying. But, he supposed he was a little overprotective. Having been a scholar and even one that served the current Emperor, he knew of the daggers people hid behind kind faces and rumors that could break even the strongest of souls.

He didn't isolate Wei Ying, but nevertheless, kept him away from the ugly side of human society. Despite this, with the talismans that Wei Ying sold under Fenghe's direction, he gradually became known as a young inventor to the cultivation world and cultivators from all over clamoured to get a piece of him.

Xu Fenghe was glad that he had some amount of power and connections within jianghu. Otherwise, waving off those arrogant cultivators that thought they had a god-given right to his child's talents would have been a hassle.

However, he knew he couldn't wave them off forever. Wei Ying, now with the courtesy name of Wuxian as his parents desired, received an invitation letter from the Lan sect, hoping for his attendance.

Xu Fenghe was still wary of cultivators, but Gusu Lan had a clean enough reputation. And besides, they had a larger library and a wealth of knowledge that A' Ying was sure to eat up.

The starry-eyed look A' Ying had when he told him of all the books and research he could do in the Lan sect made him not regret his decision. But he still had to warn his child of the dangers of letting strangers too close.

"A' Ying, I know you're friendly but make sure to keep your cards close. Don't get overly close to anyone until you are sure you can trust them."

"Hmph! This is the fourth time you told me that Xu-shushu! I got it already!!" He whined.

"I know, but I can't help but be protective. It wasn't that long ago when they thought the could steal you away from your home."

"Heheh, don't worry, I'll be careful!"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes!"

"Okay then, but make sure to send weekly updates!"

"Hahaha, will you miss me that much, Shushu?"

Fenghe patted his head, "Of course I will, you may not be my son by blood but you are my son nonetheless."

"Hehe," A' Ying giggled happily at that and packed everything.

Fenghe made sure to send him with a guard to escort him all the way there. He could only hope his child would be safe.

.....................................

Wei Wuxian marveled at the Cloud Recesses when he arrived. The walls were tall and white and pretty! He had never seen so much white before! Though....for such a beautiful place, they sure had a weak barrier. The one I made surrounding Xu-shushu’s home is definitely a lot sturdier. I wonder if the Lan sect will let me tinker with it.

He got up to the entrance and showed his invitation card. He was given a jade pass that would allow him to pass through the barrier and a guide to get him to his room. A jade pass to get into the Cloud Recesses? I really have to wonder about their security. I mean, couldn’t anyone just take one of these, replicate it and be able to get into the Cloud Recesses? Unless the Lan sect is able to revoke a particular jade pass’s permission to enter. Hmm, I’ll ask about that later.

He said his goodbyes to his bodyguard, a tall, solemn man whom he had grown up with and turned to the guide to lead him to his quarters.

“No invitation, no entry.” He heard behind him. He turned to look and caught a flash of purple and heard some angered voices.

“Wei-gongzi?” called his guide.

“Hm? Oh! Sorry, I’m coming!”

.........

He was given a decent room, tailored clothes, and instructed to read a book of the rules that the guest disciples had to follow. All. three. thousand. of. them.

Ahhhhhh!!!! There was really three thousand!! Xu-shushu warned me about this but I thought he was kidding!! How am I supposed to remember all of this?! But....I don’t want to disappoint Shushu.....hmm, well, I’ll just do my best!

Not even half a shichen later and Wei Wuxian was bored. He’d memorized all those ridiculous rules and really didn’t have anything to do. Normally, he would do some research but he had already completed all his recent works!

He wandered around for a bit and managed to catch sight of the other guest disciples. He chatted with a few and settled on Nie Huaisang, the young master of the Nie sect. He seemed pretty nice and there were a lot of things he was able to talk about with the other. He followed Nie Huaisang back to his room and played a few card games with him until sunset. He then said his goodbyes and walked back to his room.

As the cold night air hit his face, he shivered, willing his golden core to warm him up. Wanting to get a better view of the moon, he hopped onto the roof near his dormitory and sat down.

The wind is cool and crisp and the night is beautiful. A perfect place to meditate.

He closed his eyes and circulated his energy but not even a few minutes later, he sensed a presence.

“It is nearly haishi, go back to your room.”

Wei Wuxian opened his eyes and glanced at the person next to him. “It’s haishi already?”

“Mn.”

“Hmm, thanks for informing me.....Lan.....gege? But I’m not tired yet so I’ll stay up for a bit more.”

“Not allowed. Go back.” The stern, but handsome boy shook his head.

“Aww, come on, gege! Make an exception.”

One of the eyebrows on the other’s face twitched. “No.”

“Hmph. If that’s the case, then how about this? The rule said to be asleep at haishi, right? But it never specified whether it was the beginning or end of haishi. I still have time.”

“You--!” The other gritted out.

“Me~...what?” Wei Wuxian teased, a big grin spreading across his face. “Come on, Lan-gege, you’re going to have to complete that sentence if you want me to answer?”

“Shameless.” The other hissed out and drew his sword.

“Ah-ah-ah,” Wei Wuxian shook his finger at him. “Lan-gege, unauthorized fights are forbidden! And what are you so angry about? I didn’t break any rules!”

“....” The other did not say another word. It seems Wei Wuxian teased him enough as he lunged at him.

Wei Wuxian swiftly dodged the attacks. He brought out some rops and wrapped it around the tip of the blade, stopping the sword mid-slash.

“You’re so easy to anger, Lan-gege~. How cute~.” He suddenly let go of the rope, causing the Lan to stumble back a bit. Using that gap, Wei Wuxian got close to him and blew some air into his ear.

“You---! How dare--!”

“Heheh, this was fun Lan-gege, but if I play with you any longer, haishi will be over! It was fun, but I’m leaving now. Sweet dreams!” Wei Wuxian cackled as he dashed away. He finally found something fun to do!

Wei Wuxian arrived on time to class the next morning despite his body protesting to the early time. Ugh...maybe I shouldn’t have teased that Lan last night. The adrenaline from the fight kept me up! Oh well, might as well bear with it.

“Good morning, Wei-xiong!” Nie Huaisang called out.

“Good morning!” Wei Wuxian greeted and the two chattered about mundane topics until they got close to the classroom.

“Wei-xiong, there is one person you must never offend while you’re here.”

“Hm? Who? Lan Qiren-laoshi?”

“No, not him, but his youngest nephew, Lan Wangji! He’s the head disciplinarian and very bent on the upkeep of the rules.” Nie Huaisang shivered.

“Huh.” Bent on the upkeep of the rules, huh? “Say, Nie-xiong, did he happen to have a stern expression on his, be very handsome, and possess golden-colored eyes?”

“Yes, yes! That’s exactly him! But Wei-xiong, how did you know? Lan Wangji has been in seclusion for some time and only recently got out!”

“Heheh,” Wei Wuxian scratched his nose and pointed to the wall behind them. “Up there. Last night.”

“Wei-xiong!!! ......I’ll pray for your soul.”

“Oh come on, Nie-xiong, it can’t be that bad! I didn’t do anything to him......much. Just maybe, a little teasing?”

“Wei-xiong.....” Nie Huaisang patted his shoulder with pity. “Good luck.”

As the entered the classroom, there was Lan Wangji, sitting with in an upright position. Hearing the commotion, he turned around and narrowed his eyes. “....You.”

Nie Huaisang flicked his fan open, “He has his eyes on you.”

..........

All in all, class was.....boring. It was all too easy! But luckily, his boredom seemed to be noticed as Lan Qiren questioned him rapid fire and he answered with a nonchalant look on his face. In regards to his last question, Wei Wuxian had thought of a fourth path, but knowing what he knew about the rigidness of the Lan clan and Xu-shushu’s warnings, he kept those thoughts to himself.

Later, Lan Qiren would offer him some interesting supplementary classes that would replace the regular class, provided he passed the test. (He passed with ease.)

Time passed and Wei Wuxian spent his days conversing with Nie-xiong and teasing Lan Zhan to anger. (If Wei Wuxian were to be honest, he would think that he’s start to grow on lan Zhan.) He also buried himself in research and was happily asking Lan Qiren to see his work, gradually enjoying their long discussions of talismans and morality. It was honestly not that bad of a life.

Well, until the fight between the Jin heir and the Jiang heir. Honestly, Wei Wuxian wasn’t really involved with either party, but he thought it to be a pity that Jiang-guniang was brought into the middle of a silly fight.

Sighing, he brought out his binding talisman and stopped the brawl.

“You-let me go!” Jin Zixuan struggled.

“No. You two need to calm down. And besides, it pains me to hear a young woman being brought into the middle of a fight that honestly does more harm than good. Now then, Jin-gongzi, from what I’ve heard, you do not like this engagement with Jiang-gongzi’s sister, right? And this engagement was set up by your mothers and not her?”

Jin Zixuan was bewildered but nodded, “Yes...”

“Now that I have the facts straight, Jin-gongzi, have you ever considered that perhaps, Jiang-guniang didn’t have a choice or rather, even less choice than you to decide her marriage?”

“Uhh...I--”

“So, Jin-gongzi, how do you think she would feel hearing her fiancé, whom she has no choice but to be with, bad mouthing her and fueling terrible rumors?”

“Umm, horrible, I guess?”

“Yes. So, knowing now that she had less choice and knowing that it is perhaps your fault that the rumors slandering her have gotten so bad, do you feel guilty at all?”

“I.....I.....”

Wei Wuxian sighed dramatically, “Really, Jin-gongzi, have you even met Jiang-guniang, gotten to know her at all, and then decided you don’t like her? Or, out of spite for this engagement, not even given her the time of day?”

“The....latter....” He admitted weakly.

“Okay, so here’s what to do since you seem so hopeless.” Wei Wuxian enjoyed the outraged look on his face. “Get to know her. Talk, actually communicate, and find out whether you can truly see yourself being with her. And, if not, amicably break off the engagement so that she can still find someone worthier of her time. Does that sound like a better plan than whatever you were doing before?”

“....yes.....”

“Good.” Wei Wuxian turned to Jiang Wanyin. “Now, you. I’m going purely based off of rumors, but your sister likes this guy?”

“Yeah.” The other grumbled.

“Okay, so have you considered what might happen to the engagement should news of this fight spreads to your parents’ ears? It could be broken! And your sister’s heart with it. Not to mention what her reputation will be like knowing how it ended.”

“Why do you even care? You’re not involved with it!”

“I may not be involved but even I know what rumors can do to a person. It’s honorable of you to protect your sister’s honor, but beating down your opponent with scalding words to the point where they’re speechless sounds a lot better. You’ll also look good for keeping your head cool when another was goading you on.”

“....Okay.....”

Wei Wuxian removed the talisman from the two of them and sat them up. “Now, go to the infirmary and get patched up. I’m sure news of this has already reached Lan-laoshi. Just go obediently accept your copying punishment and perhaps all of this could be swept under the rug. If not, you’ll be responsible for explaining this to your parents.”

Having finished that long speech, Wei Wuxian patted them both and returned to teasing Lan Wangji again, like nothing happened. Though....there was something burning in Lan Wangji’s eyes as Wei Wuxian chattered at him....

..........................

In the end, their parents were called and Wei Wuxian wished them the best but washed his hands of anything else. He was an uninvolved party after all. And the two heirs could deal with the aftermath.

However, he didn’t expect a man dressed in purple robes to call out his name.

“Wei Ying! You’re Wei Ying, right?” The man asked, seemingly excited.

“Yeah....?” Wei Wuxian took a step back, wary of the stranger. “Who are you?”

The man’s face fell. “I see you don’t remember me, but I don’t blame you. I saw you as child after all. My name is Jiang Fengmian. Your father used to be a part of my sect.”

“Oh.” Xu-shushu did mention that his father was a part of the Jiang sect at one point but left due to reasons that he didn’t want to discuss.

“I’ve been looking for you for years! I had heard of a genius inventor with the surname Wei that was invited by the Lan but I never thought it would be you!”

“Uhh, thank you for looking for me, Jiang-zongzhu.”

Jiang Fengmian smiled. “Please, call me Jiang-shushu.”

“Umm...” He wasn’t really comfortable with that. Xu-shushu taught him to be wary of strangers and knowing his father left the sect for reasons aside from marrying his mother, he felt unsure how to treat him.

“Take your time if you’re not comfortable.” He patted Wei Wuxian’s shoulder and Wei Wuxian tensed up.

“Mm, I will.” He said in lieu of a reply.

“I....there are many things I want to show you. After the lectures, would you like to become a disciple of the Jiang sect? I know it must have been hard all by yourself. You could even call my son and daughter as your siblings. Changze and I were as close as brothers so it wouldn’t be a problem.”

You were as close as brothers yet A’Die left and spoke little about the Jiang sect to Xu-shushu. Something’s not adding up. “I was not alone.” Wei Wuxian refuted. “Xu-shushu looked after me.”

“Ah....that.....scholar. I’m sure he did, afterall, you grew up so well! But, I know he’ll be happy to see you be a part of a cultivation sect, especially one that your father was in.”

“Umm, I’ll think about it...?”

“Yes. Do think of about it. Your father was dear to me and your mother did stay with us for some time. I have many stories about them that I’d like to share with you.”

If Xu-shushu hadn’t shared everything he knew, this offer might have been tempting enough. “Thank you.” He said, neither accepting nor denying the offer. He didn’t want to offend a sect leader, after all!

Jiang Fengmian seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted.

“Wei Ying.”

Wei Wuxian turned around and was surprised to see Lan Zhan calling his name. He was delighted. “Lan Zhan! You finally said my name! Does this mean you accept my friendship?”

“Mn.”

“Heheh, I knew I’d break through your walls someday, er-gege! But...is there something you need me for?”

“Promise.”

“Hm?”

“You promised.....lunch.”

“Oh! That. Right! Let’s go! Umm, Jiang-zongzhu, I have to go now. Nice to meet you!”

“Yes. Remember my offer, A’ Ying.”

Wei Wuxian felt shivers crawl down his spine. We’re not close and yet you call me A’ Ying? “I will. Anyway, Lan Zhan, where did you disappear to earlier?”

“Went to see brother.”

“Zewu-jun? For what?”

“Hm. To tell him how close I am to Wei Ying.”

“Aww, really? That’s so sweet, Lan Zhan.”

“Hmm, most would disagree.”

“Why? You’re so interesting and so easy to tease! It’s amusing!”

Lan Wangji gave him a deep look that made Wei Wuxian feel like he’ll regret all this teasing one day......

...........................

The weirdness of that day didn’t end there. He was summoned to a room where they greet guests and was faced with members of the Jin family.

“Hello, Wei Wuxian.” said someone whom Wei Wuxian assumed to be Jin Guangshan.

“Greetings, Jin-zongzhu. Is there something you require of me?”

“Yes, yes. I have long since heard of your prowess in talismans and arrays and was wondering if you’d like to work with us as a disciple.”

Again? “I appreciate the offer Jin-zongzhu, but I’m very happy where I currently am.”

Jin Guangshan didn’t seem too surprised at his answer. “Then what would you desire? Money, safety, women? I can provide whatever you want.”

“Jin-zongzhu, I.....” What was he meant to do in such a situation??? Xu-shushu had long since provided anything I needed and I’m a romantic so I really don’t want to touch anyone....... Urgh. “I really appreciate all the...gifts, but I’m happy with what I have now.”

“Hm. Then how about a betrothal to one of my daughters? They’re pretty enough and having an alliance with us will benefit you in the long run.”

“?” Jin-zongzhu doesn’t have any--oh. Oh, he meant the daughters that were born because he slept around. “Jin-zongzhu, I.....I would prefer to marry someone I love. Umm, if that’s all, then I got to go. I’ll be late for class. But I’ll think about your offer!” He placated, not wanting to attract the sect leader’s ire.

“You should definitely think about it. This kind of offer doesn’t come very often.”

“Yeah, okay. I’ll take my leave then!” He dashed out of there as quickly as he could without seeming impolite.

Wei Wuxian’s heart beat fast. Geeze, honestly, what’s wrong with all of them? I just want to peacefully invent in private. Not be hounded by people!

“Wei Ying.”

“Uwah!” Wei Wuxian jumped. “Oh. Lan Zhan, it’s just you. You scared me! Why didn’t you make any noise to alert me? I swear, er-gege, sometimes I feel like you do this on purpose.” He pouted.

“Hm.” That was not a no. But before he could comment on that, Lan Wangji spoke, “What did Jin-zongzhu need?”

Wei Wuxian sighed dramatically. “The same thing Jiang-zongzhu wanted. He offered me money, material, and even a betrothal to an illegitimate child of his! Honestly, I just wish they would--”

“A betrothal?” Lan Wangji interrupted.

Wei Wuxian gasped, “Lan Zhan! You interrupted me! Isn’t against rule....like......two hundred and fifty eight or something?”

“You were quite close. But that’s besides the point. A betrothal?”

“Yeah. I refused but tried to make it seem like a hard refusal. I don’t want to attract any ill attention, after all.”

“Is that something Wei Ying would want?”

“Hm? Want what?”

“A betrothal.”

“I mean, yeah, sure.” Lan Wangji narrowed his eyes in displeasure. “But I want it with someone I love and who loves me back. Not an arranged marriage. But rather, a marriage like the one my parents had.”

Lan Wangji’s expression smoothed out. “I see.”

Wei Wuxian hummed, “What about you, er-gege? Do you want to be betrothed?”

“Same as Wei Ying. I would like to be with someone I love.”

“Really?”

“Mn.”

“That’s so nice, Lan Zhan! Soooooo, do you have anyone in mind?”

“Mn.”

“You do?!” And why did it somewhat hurt to think of that. “Who is it? Anyone would be lucky to have someone like you! Even I--” He cut himself off abruptly. What was I about to say?

Lan Wangji suddenly turned sharply causing Wei Wuxian to follow in suite. Seeing the dark look in Lan Zhan’s eyes, Wei Wuxian suddenly felt hunted. But he couldn’t even decide what to do, as his back hit a tree.

Suddenly, Lan Zhan got really up close and personal with him. He was so close that Wei Wuxian could count the individual eye lashes he had and smell some sandalwood incense on him.

“L-Lan Zhan?”

“Wei Ying.” His hand came up and caressed his face. “Wei Ying, you said anyone would be lucky to have me.”

“Y-Yes.” He answered, very conscious of the warmth from Lan Wangji’s palms.

“Then what about Wei Ying?”

“H-Huh?”

“Would Wei Ying want me?”

“A-Ah? I.....I’ve never thought about it. I’ve always seen you as--mmph?!” And then he was being kissed thoroughly. At first just lips, and then....than a tongue?! It was wet....and a little messy and Wei Wuxian felt like he couldn’t really breathe.

But it...it felt good. His head became really mushy and he began to lose the ability to think. At first, he felt like he should reject this, or at least push Lan Zhan away, but with how strongly he was being pressed into the tree, combined with Lan Zhan’s grip on his chin and wrist, he didn’t feel like he could escape even if he wanted to.

Lan Zhan soon released him, but Wei Wuxian could barely stand, he leaned against the tree in hopes to stay upright.

“Wei Ying.”

Wei Wuxian looked up at dark, seemingly possessive golden eyes. “Wei Ying, would you accept me?”

“Hah.....what? Accept....you?”

“Yes.” He pressed another kiss against his lips. “You said anyone would want me. Did you lie?”

“No....?”

“Then do you accept?” Lan Wangji rubbed his swollen lips gently. “Do you promise to be mine?”

Wei Wuxian was so flustered by everything that had just happened, he missed the glow of an array Lan Wangji activated behind his back.

Suddenly, his thoughts became clear. As he processed Lan Wangji’s words, something in him told him he wouldn’t regret it. Lan Zhan and his clan can protect me. They are strong enough to protect me from the Jin and Jiang sects. They won’t let them take me away. Xu-shushu may have connections everywhere, but he can only protect me so much. But Lan Zhan can protect me. However.....

“Lan Zhan,” he started nervously. “You....like me?”

“Mn. Like Wei Ying very much. Will protect Wei Ying from Jin-zongzhu and Jiang-zongzhu. Won’t let them take Wei Ying away.”

Having gotten his answer, Wei Wuxian smiled happily and threw his arms around Lan Wangji, “Then yes, I’ll accept!”

Lan Wangji smiled faintly at that.

...................................

He had actually done it. He had finally made Wei Ying his. Sure, he had used an array that would push Wei Ying’s thoughts in Lan Wangji’s favor, but if Wei Ying hadn’t formed those thoughts already, it wouldn’t have been this easy.

His clan would be delighted.

They already looked upon Wei Ying with much favor and desired to keep the young genius with them, whether it be through making him a disciple or marriage. They were enraged when the Jiang and Jin sects began making a move on him and tried to take Wei Wuxian away from them.

When Lan Wangji told them about his feelings, they were, of course, excited at this outcome and supported his plan. They gave him full access to the forbidden section in the library and encouraged him to do whatever it took to entice Wei Ying to their side.

Now Wei Ying was his and he would never let him go.

And as for the Jin and Jiang sects. Well.

They would regret ever even looking at what was his.

_______________________________________

Well. This became another long one. Hope the prompter is satisfied with this!

I did have another idea of them kidnapping Wei Wuxian on his way home and then slowly brainwashing him to accept them, but I decided on this route instead.

The Sunshot Generation as Babies/Toddlers

(And That One Story that was always told about them when they got older).

Wei Wuxian: Surprisingly, was a very good kid. There are shockingly few juicy stories.

Lan Wangji: By contrast, he was an absolutely feral toddler who terrified EVERYONE. Lan Xichen was the only one who could settle him down. It got so bad that Wangji got to attend class with his brother, because discipline did not work.

Jiang Cheng: Very cuddly baby/toddler. Was nearly kidnapped once or twice because he was offered cuddles. Developed his temper/paranoia/general prickliness later on.

Jiang Yanli: Accidentally kidnapped Wen Chao once. She wanted to give him soup because he looked sad. He was one year old and could not properly explain he was supposed to stay in place. They were halfway to Lotus Pier when it was discovered that the Jiang delegation had accidentally taken Wen-gongzi hostage.

Lan Xichen: Much better toddler than Wangji, but for a while refused to walk anywhere on his own. Surprisingly, the adult who gave in to his (very muted) temper tantrums most often was Lan Qiren.

Nie Mingjue: At his 100-day ceremony, he cried every time Wen Ruohan got close. His father was very apologetic. His mother thought it was hysterical and had to duck into antechambers to laugh in private.

Nie Huaisang: Normally too sick to do much, but bit Jin Guangshan one time at a delegation when he didn’t listen to the also-small Nie Mingjue’s warnings that Sang-er didn’t want to be held at the moment. Once again, his father was very apologetic. Mingjue was extremely proud of his didi.

Wen Xu: Made the mistake of shoving Yanli at a discussion conference. She tried to tell him to stop, but he didn’t listen. After the third time, she gave in and shoved him back, knocking him off the pier and into the water.

Wen Chao: Went through a period of time when his favorite adult was Wen Zhuliu, and he would throw a raging temper tantrum if anyone else handled him. This included servants, other sect leaders, his father and his mother. Neither he nor Wen Zhuliu were ever able to figure out why.

Wen Qing: While she did not cry very often, she scowled so fiercely at everyone that her parents had an exorcism performed on her at one point for fear that she was being possessed by a very unfriendly spirit. Nope, she just had enough of everyone’s nonsense before her hundredth day.

Wen Ning: Very nice baby. One time accidentally ripped the head off a doll and cried for hours until Wen Qing fixed it. She explained that he was giving it surgery.

Jin Zixuan: Very quiet baby. Was routinely taken to healers to ensure he wasn’t sick. Nope, he was just boring.

Meng Yao: Could climb before he could walk. Meng Shi learned this the hard way when she turned her back and found him on top of a table, clapping his hands and babbling excitedly at her. It was the only time she well and truly freaked out.

Mianmian: Was left alone in her parents’ garden one afternoon. When they returned, it was to find that she’d somehow dug up five worms and declared herself the worm empress. Once her husband heard the story, he teased her with it for weeks.

Okay so that part when the world is turned against Wei Wuxian who won’t give up demonic cultivation, and Lan Wangji and Lan Xichen are like walking out of another group project meeting on what everyone should do about the Yiling Patriach, and then Lan Wangji says to his brother “remember how mom did an unforgivable act so dad married her to keep her safe by becoming the jailer of the woman he loves but who doesn’t love him back?” and Lan Xichen is like “but of course” and Lan Wangji is like “I’ve been really tempted lately to follow in our father’s footsteps” and Lan Xichen is like “oh buddy no”

I’m paraphrasing, that’s the gist of it, but anyway the point is that think about a canon divergence au where Lan Wangji proposes marriage-jail to Wei Wuxian by which I mean he kidnaps him, accepting that the price of keeping the person he loves safe is to take away that person’s freedom and earn his hatred. I just think that’d be really sexy, and this fandom has like 50k fics already, so the second I’m done watching the show, I’m gonna be shaking down the tags like I’m trying to knock loose a coconut (the coconut is a preferably >80k word fic)
