#twelve moons and a fortnight verse
chaoticjingyi · 2 years
Text
Just finished twelve moons and a fortnight. It took almost a week and a lot of emotions. Beware of spoilers!! This is essentially a live blogging of it
I AM BACK ! and more prepared to read this than ever. I think I went long enough that I only remember 3 or 4 major bits from this (meishan yu, the amalgamation of all the dead from lotus pier before the sunshot campaign began and wei ying seeing them as acting sect leader, lxc healing a-Qing [which still hurts my soul,,,,its taking from. His life force :((] and if im not wrong, copious letters)
The rest though may be the same as if I was to Iread it for the first time and im looking forward to it.
I have my notes app on the side while I read this bc I am a serial binge reader and need sth to hold onto my thoughts before j forget them, it has happened way too many times ans I end an incoherent mess at every fix when this happens. BUT!! I want to really show how much I love this and I like being detailed. So if this end up crossing the character limit i am not sorry.
Buckle up for the torrent of enthusiasm bc
Here we go !
"crash of someone falling headlong into his room and stumbling over Suibian; he left his sword on the floor with the all the rest of his belongings, which proceed to trip up his mysterious guest three more times before he finally falls against Wei Wuxian’s bed" the mental image here is so funny twin jade of lan sect, stoic man tripping over a sword qjfjskfks aahh but wangxian are so adorable
"he and Wei Wuxian once spent a whole day trying to see which of them could best imitate the contemptuous flapping of Madam Yu’s skirts while Jiang Yanli laughed at them from her desk, only to be scolded and sent to bed early by Jiang Fengmian for skipping their meditation hour. " am I going to end up crying during work hours? Lets hope not, though I won't be surprised if so. Memories of the siblings Yunmeng days always make me emo
"Who’s going to teach him about romance if not Zizhen?”
“I always thought it would be Jin Guangyao.” 
>emotional damage meme starts playing in the background of my head<
" I could have perished at your hands, or Wen Ning’s at your command, and still kissed your fingers on Chenqing as I died. " thats a raw fucking line op holy fuck
DASHIXONG 😭😭😭
Jiang cheng gave him Yanli's clarity bell i -🥺 and ofc he is allergic to emotional convos and tells him to shut up ajfjjwgj
"But—Zhenhong, that was Uncle Jiang’s throne, and Madam Yu’s, and—”
Zhenhong blinks—half out of astonishment and half in what looks like understanding, though Wei Wuxian can’t imagine what there is to understand"
*inhale * FUCK Its a trying effort here to keep my eyes dry I keep tearing up every 5 minutes
Tumblr media
"do you think Jiang-zongzhu and Yu-furen could have stood it?”
“I—”
“And it was not the idea of a supervisory office that made her attack that Wang woman, either.”
“Wh-What?”
“You were hers , da-shixiong. ”
This entire conversation has made me scream inside my head and brought a raging melancholy I stopped breathing for a second.
"What will a mother not say out of worry, when she fears for the lives of her children?” barks the deputy. “Mine has said worse, I assure you! She could have kept you with her to fight, she knew your brother would meet Jiang-zongzhu and Jiang-guniang within hours of his departure—there was no need for you to go with him! She sent you away for your sake just as much as for Sect Leader’s, and I wonder how with your wit you took so long to realize it!”

The art at the end of  chapter 3 is adorable!!!
"Everything was peaceful and sedate and perfect, and then Lan Jingyi grew old enough to venture out of his parents’ quarters by himself. 
The Cloud Recesses never recovered. "
Every day I am reminded of my love for lan jingyi <3 (hence the username :3)
Reading Ouyang Zizhen's letter and he is so sweet. I love he
"I think Xian-gege knows,” Sizhui says at last. “He was thinking about it before Hanguang-jun and Zewu-jun took him to the discussion conference, I could tell. But when I found him at the Guanyin temple, he looked like—like everything made sense. Like he understood something he didn’t before.”
He knows but I don't know if the boys are ready for this knowledge,,,
JIN LING!!!! I am delighted at the junior quartets friendship. Also remembered both the clothes and what happens when a-qung wakes up and im looking forward to it.
"His stomach growls, and he claps his hands over it in embarrassment before Hanguang-jun produces a second bowl and sets them both down on the table along with two pairs of chopsticks. “You too, Jingyi. Eat.” 1. I KNOW its because of wei yings letter. 2. Dad wangji!!!! My heart is warm, my crops are watered and my skin is clear
"for upon receiving your last letter I thought of how ill he was when I found him hidden in the Demon-Slaughtering Cave, and how long it took him to reach a normal height for his age—his growth was stunted for years after that, and nearly prevented his forming a golden core. Rest assured that I will make sure he is fed and well-rested, Wei Ying, for your sake and mine as well as his—he will eat at least once a day with me in the jingshi from now on, unless he grows so tired of it that even his filial tenderness can no longer bear my company. "
This>🥺< is literally my face right now. I may look incredibly ugly but I 🥺😭😭 AHH *Clutches hand at chest* my heart
Tumblr media
" I was so happy that it felt as if my heart would break"
I am going to save this for days where I don't have the words. I have felt it before but never had such clear words for it and hhhhh your writing is incredible
"But for now all I can do is pray that Lotus Pier does not go the same way as everything else I have ever tried to protect" actually I think you just like making us sad
The way you capture every characters voice and essence through the letters (in general too but thus isn't abt that) is so good and I am filled with awe and an urge to re read everything though I only have the first volume at home
"kind as well as beautiful, so if someday you wish to marry—you might as well begin here as somewhere else, right? You’ll find someone to match you, sweetheart, someone as brave and good and wise as you are" I am going to go INSANE, xie lian grant me patience for this foolish man. And well. Lwj WILL indeed marry someone from Yunmeng. It IS you wei ying you fool
"“If his first set of standards was because he thought shijie was the best girl in the world, and he wanted a wife like her,” he says at last, “then—Zhenhong, doesn’t it make sense that this set of standards describes someone he already knows? And it’s not Yu-furen, because Yu-furen never—” Wait WAIT IS IT WEN QING
"She sits there for nearly an hour gazing at him in confusion and a little pity, because he wears the same lost look on his face as Daozhang did, right down to the melancholy turn of his mouth and the swollen eyelids that tell of recent tears (because her Daozhang used to cry, and cry often, even though he no longer had eyes to cry with). " EMOTIONAL DAMAGE part 2, electric boogaloo
Lan xichen makes my heart hurt in 7 different ways, 🌊🐴man
Tumblr media
(I can now add pics bc tumblr :D )
"Jin Ling worries his lip for a moment and then runs to join them, propriety be hanged. They’ve only got two weeks, and it’s not as if anyone here is going to tell tales to his Uncle Jiang. He flings his arms around Jingyi, and then Sizhui, and then around all three of them before one of the older Jin disciples clears her throat. " they own my heart, im telling u
Drunk jiang cheng made me sad again :( he does deserve to be happy !!! 😭😭😭
Oh boys,,,,, if it is who I think it is u can't help Jiang cheng. The person may be dead already
“He’ll have to visit me every month,” he mutters at last. “You—you have to share him, okay? He’s mine too.”
“Of course he’s yours too,” Sizhui soothes him, sounding suspiciously near tears himself. “You’re his nephew, he’s never going to leave you. Don’t cry, A-Ling. Don’t cry.”
Each word brings me closer to crying aaaaaaahhhh
Lan wangji's letters to wei ying are going to make me swoon oh my goodness. They're in LOVE ND THEY ARE SOULMATES
Wait wei ying is chronically ill and didn't tell anyone? And he ???? Has been since he was summoned????????? and he didn't ask for help??? What is Going On
...And a little bun has been adopted, my heart really cannot take this
"So she smothered,” says Wei Wuxian, stricken. Jin Guangyao, Jin Guangyao—why does it always come back to you in the end? Is there anyone you did not hurt? Nie Mingjue, my shijie, Jin Zixuan, Jin Ling, Lan Xichen, Lan Zhan—even this poor woman, A-Xin, who died and left her son motherless just as your mother left you." hhhhhhhhh
I love that they'll build a women's shelter, and the soul calming ceremonies written a little while back
"Miles away, in the Cloud Recesses, the third disciple class (including a certain young romantic from Ouyang, who is still a year behind his three best friends in the second group) gets a once-in-a-lifetime glimpse of Hanguang-jun blushing over his morning letters and kissing the pages they were written on until his lips go numb.
(Lan Qiren doesn’t break his jade token. He doesn’t. ) " ah wht a blessed sight, i wish I was there
Junior break!!!! !They're adorable. No I will not stop saying that. Them having a picnic and letter meeting at the rabbit field os the cutest thing aaa♡♡♡♡♡♡
"As it happens, however, his lunch isn’t the only thing waiting in his rooms. 
A second plate has been laid out across from his, and two cups of tea are already steaming beside the incense burner—and someone is sitting in Lan Wangji’s place at the table, dressed in mourning white without a single ornament in his hair or even a sword at his waist. The man almost looks like a ghost of Lan Wangji’s younger self, in the days after Wei Ying’s death at the Nightless City and his own forced confinement away from the rest of the clan—but then he turns his face towards the door, and Lan Wangji nearly bites his tongue at the realization that it isn’t a ghost at all.
“Xiongzhang,” he chokes, nearly weeping in relief as his brother’s thin hands rise to clasp his own. “It’s good to see you.”
Screaming and nearly crying again </3
"at last my brother lost his patience and silenced him so forcefully that even the two disciples standing near him found themselves unable to talk for the next twenty minutes. Jingyi was in the room at the time, and he has still not recovered from the shock; Sizhui, on the other hand, is steadfastly refusing to believe that it ever happened at all. "Holy shit I love this. Lxc hath become a parent
I really like Healer Pan
Wei yings more serious letters always leave me feeling stricken with sorrow and yet I keep on hoping hr will realize. He does have a home. With lwj as well as lotus pier
Chapter 11 and holy shit you were not kidding Hanguang-jun is SMOOTH!!!!!
"Don’t let him shirk his duties, or I’ll tell Li Shuai about the time you tried to propose to her with Farmer Tang’s ghoul when we were eighteen.
    In distress, as usual, 
        Sect Leader Jiang Wanyin. "
I cannot stop laughing ajfjskfjsjgj
"That settles it, my Lan Zhan. I’ll make you all the soup and seed-cake you want, but stop asking for the porridge.”
“Mn, all right.” 
His face is pink again, and this time he’s not sure it’s only because of the congee. " they are SO domestic and this is too cute
“You gave up your life for our son,” Lan Wangji tells him, pressing his chin to the top of Wei Ying’s head. “I could do no less.”
Oh my god. .. oh my god
Story time with wen ning! :D
And the aforementioned trunk of clothes appears!
LMAO HOLY SHIT I FRGIT ABT THE RULE WALL  ! lxc is wonderful
"The elders used that one on my younger brother sixteen years ago,” Lan Xichen says grimly. “He was judged for injuring thirty-three clan members after Wei Wuxian was killed, and this was the punishment. But they knew I would speak out against such a harsh sentence, even if it meant I had to take Wangji and A-Yuan and secede from the clan—so they drugged me the night before the trial to ensure that I would sleep straight through it, and then they decided Wangji’s fate in my absence and held me down on the floor in the hanshi with all their spiritual power so that I could not interfere until the beating was over.” my reaction is the same as the kids,,, DAMN
Also no wonder they danced around that fire they were getting rid of some stuff
“I’ve also defaced the wall of sect rules,” Lan Xichen says cheerfully. “And now there are only about two thousand laws left, so perhaps you and the council would like to spend a few hours contemplating the alterations in the morning.” this may  be one of my favorite chapters i can't stop re reading it and am v much invested here
"It occurs to him then that despite the presence of the disciples—all of whom, if he remembers correctly, are still younger than eighteen—the most helpless cultivator among them might as well be himself." HHH HOLY SHIT
"don’t you dare write me directly unless it’s an emergency, you hear? I might have a dying brother on my hands, to say nothing of a twice-orphaned baby, because if Wei Wuxian decides to leave us all because of a night-hunt I doubt Hanguang-jun will wait even a day before following him. Damn them both, to hell and back—I’ll drag them both back to life and murder them again if they even think about it, but I suppose the healers and I ought to try saving them first. " Iam going to go feral actually. I'll go outside and scream towards a lake,  theres one like a bus ride away, I will go insane. I am having si many emotions i can't name em
I may not have much to say at the hunt this time bc im very drawn in and it must me speechless. But the feeling translated and carried over si well. The pacing incredible
"He pauses, wondering what else might be left to ask, and then—
Was it Yu Ziyuan?
The beast responds to that question by reaching forward and striking him across the face. It doesn’t seem angry, exactly, but the unspoken reply was very clearly a negative one; the cloud of resentful energy looks offended on Madam Yu’s behalf" it has been months, but this scene and what followed throughout the chapter have  remained clear in my head ever since the first time reading this. Legitimately unforgettable
"The ghosts come to a halt, then, standing right in front of Lan Wangji’s ward with pensive looks on their faces. Some have clear death-wounds in their chests, and one of the boys wears a gown covered with dull black blood from the cruel gash in his throat—but all of them are looking straight at Li Shuai, and their lips shape her name with open wistfulness; some of the older ones call her A-Shuai, and the children call her Li-shijie, and then they nod once in Lan Wangji’s direction before stepping closer to the ward and disappearing into it. 
He feels their spiritual energy pouring into the seals before he sees it in the ward, reeling back at the sudden shock of ninety-one ghostly golden cores taking up arms beside his—ready to defend their sect in death as they could not do in life, and then he finally understands why the land-eater went unnoticed for so long. The ghosts must have been suppressing it until its power surpassed theirs, and then they sought out Wang Hai for help when they could do nothing more—but for them to have taken shape like this, in something resembling their living selves even though their bodies must long since have rotted away—it should have been beyond them to do such a thing, unless…"
I am both in awe and full of wonder and feel as though I'm there. Words do not begin to describe the intense experience it is to read this
Now to the note on ch 18": If you're reading this as a completed work, stop here and take a break if you need one! The night-hunt arc is officially complete, and the recovery arc picks up in chapter 19. :)" ill take your advice this once bc I have to sleep at a reasonable hour
Started chapter 19 and I am shaking. Oh dear
"He took wei ying from him" NOOOO MY HEART 
"“Oh, he’ll like it well enough,” the other man grumbles, shoving the finished dinner tray towards him and then pushing him out the door. “Make sure you eat some of it, too, or I’ll have two sick people on my hands instead of one.” as always showing care with food <3
Lan Xichen’s letter to mingjue is utterly heartbreaking, and so is the whipping, no matter how many times I've read it
LXC joins the shipping !!!!
'"Wei Wuxian finds his gaze fixed on his brother’s left hand, and on the faint sparks rising from the serpent-shaped ring glinting there. 
“Di-di,” he gasps, trying to fight against the fire in his knees as Jiang Cheng pushes Lan Zhan away and attempts to lift him up. “Don’t whip me anymore, I didn’t mean to—I won’t make trouble for our family again, not as long as I live, please— ”
An utterly stricken look crosses Jiang Cheng’s face, and he stuffs his hand into the pocket of his robes"
FUCK!!! AAHHHHH!!!!! MY HEART!!
Nie huaisang having a tiger is one of the best things in my life now. Good for him good for him
"Wouldn’t you have learned about it anyway, Nie-xiong? Wei Wuxian thinks wryly, as they walk over the high stone gate that separates the training field from the living quarters. You managed to find out the truth about Jin Guangyao and Qin Su, when the only person alive who knew aside from Lianfang-zun was Qin-furen’s maid Bicao. Is there a secret under the sun that you couldn’t bring to the light if you waited for it long enough?"
Okay tbh you'd find me hard pressed to say a mdzs character im not fond of, and ofc the Nies are also some of my favorites. And thi makes me think so much. Because after all is said nd done, after nhs exposed jgy and his schemes and wit came to light, we do know he is clever but he is then also under constant suspicion and scrutiny. And yes he may scheme but didn't he only do tht to avenge his brother? I do believe he is done with it. And yet I also believe he is also very up to date with news and gossip and going-ons. It brings me to mind, how much does he know, and how much of that weighs on him? He doesn't have much family left, most of his friends from his youth have grown apart or may have died at the war. Anyways im very emotional about nie huaisang
''realizes exactly why Nie Huaisang called out in fear on that night in the Guanyin temple, and why he had refused to let Jin Guangyao leave the place alive. 
The very last mystery, a voice in the back of his mind seems to say, solved by the simple fact that Nie Huaisang’s loyalty ran deeper than any of us ever knew. "
Many scenes here just make me go "Holy fucking shit man"
"the knowledge that Jin Guangyao’s death was an act of love as well as an act of hate,"
Tumblr media
"As for the kisses you owe to me, my heart, you must tell our little son that he is lucky to be receiving them in my place. Such tender gifts are rarer than gold and dearer than the stars, and I will count myself blessed if you deign to give me another. "💘💘💙💙💙💙
"I was used to kissing you whenever the mood struck me while we were still together in Yunmeng, after all, and breaking the habit has been most difficult. I even kissed A-Hong once without thinking about it, and this morning I almost kissed the top of Nie-xiong’s head after breakfast. He took it as a slight to his small stature, though, so he chased me all the way back to my rooms and told me he would feed me to A-Yong if I dared to do it again. " screaming again. They're so married already. And nhs forehead kiss abjdsr that's adorably funny
"Shufu always suspected them, Lan Wangji repeats to himself. The next several years—
“Xiongzhang,” he ventures at last. “The trial they tampered with, was it—”
WAS IT HIS MOM'S???????
[lxc, on the podium: and in conclusion, i will make a-qing a wonderful father and will protect her all my life
lwj, supportive but confused: i agree, brother, but where are the elders?
lxc: in a better place now. sit down immediately]
Some of ur notes are really making me laugh a lot akxksfkskf
Nie Shiyong!!!!! I totally forgot abt her!!! One line and I already lover her
"Nie Huaisang closes his eyes and puts his head in his hands. 
“When he brought you back, he brought you back wrong. ”
I, too, am putting my head on my hands. Jesus
Tumblr media
“to know the beast is to know the girl, and to know the girl is to know the beast. As a maiden, she is bloodthirstier than most men, and as a tigress, she is gentler than even a house cat." Tbh that's a mood
Ah yes, the qinghe robes
“I was promised a hundred, in your letter,” he whispers, lifting his beloved’s arm again and kissing the heart of his palm. “Will you deny me, my heart?”  this was so sweet !!!!!!
The family having a meal together 😭😭😭💙💙💙 and the yearning keeps strong ah Lan zhan hang in there
"Xiao-Yu refuses to take the bee back as they walk to the the city gates to summon their carriage, content merely to watch Sizhui pretend to play with it until the black-painted conveyance comes rolling up the road—which is when the baby falls fast asleep, right before A-Yuan tucks the doll safely under his arm and sits on the bench opposite him to stare in utter adoration" my heart is full and soft. This is absolutely precious
:And Lan Wangji obeys and lowers his head, nearly sobbing aloud as Wei Ying fastens the necklace just below the fall of his hair—because it feels like a moment of marriage, somehow, as if this oath to return to his heart was the first of their bows before heaven." I should really stop (mentally) screaming everytime something gay or cute or emotional happens, I already get daily headaches. But alas I carry much emotion with me
Yes it was extremely gay and extremely tender and I love them. Jiang cheng pls stop being an angry grape and jealous brother wwx won't abandon you after getting married
Holy shit was madam yu betrothed to zhao zhuliu?
OH SHIT
Oh S H I T this is heartbreaking
Damn the amount of harrowing family secrets for each clan ,,,, p a i n
"But the Unclean Realm was only once a second home, because it ceased to be so, after Mingjue was dead. Lan Xichen has not held the place of the sect master's sworn brother for many years, firstly because his sworn brother was gone, and then because he failed him and Huaisang so completely that he did not notice Mingjue’s murder taking place right before his eyes. 
I promised you I would take care of Xiao-Sang, "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH😭😭😭😭
"My heart was broken the day the council refused to use Inquiry as testament for your mother’s trial, and there was nothing I could do "
IT WAS THE TAMPERED TRIAL WASNT IT???? Also, hhhhhhhhhhhhh big oof for lqr. My heart goes out to him too
"To this day, Wangji insists that there is no need for thanks or contrition between sweethearts. 
But in Lan Xichen’s opinion, the old saying holds even truer for brothers, and it always will." This while part,,, i keep saying it but its because it's true. The way emotion is captured through the words is breathtaking and leaves me bereft of words and full of feeling
"Was that at the discussion conference when you woke up with a giant boil on your forehead and screamed so loudly that you woke me up?” Jiang Cheng snorts, swallowing his mouthful of pastry. “Let that morning be forever enshrined in the memory of my disciples, who jumped out of bed and got into emergency formation for a hunt before they figured out what all the wailing was.”
“You’re heartless, Jiang-xiong.”
“But not pimply, though.”
This is amazing ajckskkckskfkej discussing skin care has never been more entertaining
"“Don’t be mean!” Lan Xichen cries, pulling him into his arms. Wei Wuxian feels his mouth drop open, completely forgetting to struggle even when the older man tucks him close to his chest like a mother holding a child that matched her in height, and then he looks toward Jiang Cheng in sheer confusion when Lan Xichen points an accusing finger at him. “Wangji’s head is empty of everything but Wei-gongzi, too. You mustn’t say such things!”
“I know that, Zewu-jun.”
“We all knew that,”
This is delightful and I cannot stop laughing
The lightheartedness of this just,  it makes me very happy. Them re doing the list too !!! Amazing,  *insert lady gaga meme here*
Ofc , all in agreement Lan Xichen is incredibly beautiful. No arguments to be made
Ans lmao the rankings andjmakdka
"ensuring that the walking talismans are fully replenished (so that it can follow Wei Wuxian on its own, rather than either of them having to carry it) and that it is stuffed with plenty of soft pillows and blankets, not to mention their son’s beloved bee. " I keep trying to picture this but I cant. Does it Just float around him? Slide through the floor? I have no clue and will remain figuring this out
HHHH the WEDDING ROBES!!! lovely mental image,  we have been blessed on this fine day
"Lan Wangji found himself wondering where she procured it before noting that the dress was made in the light, layered style of Yunmeng and Baling Ouyang.
Ouyang Zizhen, then, he thinks, hiding a smile at the thought of it. Perhaps he even chose this one for her to wear tonight."
Once again: they're the cutest
HOLY SHIT WHAT A START TO THE BANQUET
"At least—at least it wasn’t the fire.”
Be right back, im gonna go stare at a wall until I get myself together
Also Jin guangshan,,, he can meet me in the fucking pit
"Lan Zhan!” he hears Wei Ying shriek, just as he takes a sip to ensure that the drink will suit his zhiji’s tastes. “That’s honey mead from Baling, not fruit tea! Spit it out, now, or you’ll–”
And then the world goes dark around him, like the feeling of falling into a pleasant dream, right before he wakes up in Wei Ying’s bed the next morning with no memory of how he got there. " im so ready for shenanigans
OH I WAS JOT WRONG! I was thinking about it, and wwxs pains,  and nearing the end of this chapter I was like,  wait isn't he regaining his scars also? And isn't it the wen brand this time? And it’s was and I was essential surprised pikachu
... but WHY are they appearing? If it due to the ritual? To zidian? A mixture of both or sth else,???
(Both regarding wwx being ill and the corpses in the water) The mystery solving here Is so interesting and *chefs kiss* amazing. I love me a good case solving
Im so confused about the dagger
[Post data- I finished the fic and am no longer confused]
"In which Wei Wuxian finally discovers the truth behind his illness, and the reader learns that stiltonbasket has been lying about the title all along." WHAT
"I heard Shijie calling me,” he whispers, swinging Xiao-Yu up into his arms. “She’s outside all by herself, so we have to go and get her.” oh no just what is happening???
Xiao yu had been saying his a-niang had the knife, and they just said the lining of the robr may have been removed with it. Was Wei ying possessed? And why was he drawn away???
HE *WAS* POSSESSED
I wonder of the ghost was mo xuanyu. "“I think it jumped with me,” he says slowly. “The ghost, I mean. It kept saying it was sorry, and that it wouldn’t have doomed me to death if it knew any better.” you know? Thats my current theory
"but if death occurred, it always came exactly twelve moons and a fortnight after the patient was first healed, though I was never able to determine the reason why before I stopped performing the procedure, even for those whose cores I was certain would be sufficient. "
WHAT?  W H A T?
"And then the book falls open to the very last page, displaying a half-finished, familiar array with a tiny caption written underneath it in red ink. 
Yanghua advised me to make a replicable array for the core sacrifice, in case it should be needed again. Despite her urging, however, I only consented to create one for healing with the sacrifice of one’s own golden core, instead of the core of a willing participant. 
Wei Wuxian picks the book up and closes it. 
I didn’t have a choice, a mournful voice echoes in the back of his mind. I was dying, Young Master Wei. "
HO L Y SHIT MO XUANYU HAD IT
I know he wrote a will, but there are 10 chapters left so this mf better not die
This is so intense I can barely pause to write. Holy shit. Empathy
"The array he constructed was half of Wei Ying’s and partly his own invention, and the rest was taken from his memory of the physician’s journal he read in Qinghe" /oh/
"but Mo Xuanyu was certain that his jindan would be more than sufficient to heal him; as long as the core was not wholly used up," then tge passage makes more sense now. If the core is weaker, they will die after twelve moons and a fortnight. His core wouldn't be enough, especially considering that even though Wei ying nonlinear had one, before that he was a genius and remarkably powerful
A mistake. There was an accident which may have been the cause of it all. Oh my goodness
"Not a mistake, Mo Xuanyu tries to say. It was written in the belief that two golden cores would be enough to heal you, and your jindan was not there!"
I am losing my goddamn mind
“Wei Wuxian doesn’t need your core, Lan Wangji,” Jiang Wanyin rasps. “He needs his jindan. He needs mine.”
I mean,  I was thinking the same but im still very anxious about it...
 
“Please,” he sobs, knocking his head against the ground until Lan Wangji can hear the sound of it striking the floor. “I have lived in anguish without a jindan, and I have lived for sixteen years without my brother. I know which between the two is worse, and death would be better than knowing that he suffered and died in such a way, because of me. Please, Lang-furen—I know it will be breaking your healing vows, but this is the only way forth, I pray you—”
Yeah alright now im legit crying,,thank goodness I cried yesterday too or id be sobbing rn
Tumblr media
"Brothers, sharing a single core, Lan Wangji thinks dizzily, slumping to the floor. One flesh and two masters of a single jindan, which loves and obeys them both. "
Im speechless once more.
It was a success. I'm so glad. This was a Rollercoaster of emotions
"Rather, he needs what you and Wei-xiong have: a faithful, steady deputy who can handle matters in his stead if necessary, and stand beside him in all things no matter what he must face. Luo Qingyang was once that for Jin Zixuan" MIANMIAN!!!!!!!
Nothing warms my heart more than seeing Jiang cheng and wei wuxian be brothers and being happy
"he is as well and grumpy as ever, which delights Wei Wuxian so much that he pushes him into the lake as a welcome-back present. 
Jiang Cheng yanks Wei Wuxian in after him, and it reminds Wei Wuxian so much of the happy winters of his youth that he bursts into tears" now im emotional again, this is making me wanna see my sister 🥺😭💙
FINALLY !!! BETROTHED!!!!! WWX REALIZED HES IN LOVE!!!
"Lan Zhan would probably rather kiss Jiang Cheng than blame Wei Wuxian for any of his troubles."LMAO
"squeezing poor Xiao-Yu like a laundress wringing out a tablecloth." Poor xiao yu skfwkgkskkgkw
"Not yet,” the baby protests, when Wei Wuxian makes note of his observations to Jiang Cheng. “Xiao-Yu is little! Only Papa can say my big name.” PRECIOUS !!! Did u kidnap my donkey andjsj lmao
The junior's shenanigans will never stop being funny. Lan Qing being exasperated and fond of her boys is super relatable too and brought a smile to my face
I am jittery with excitement as Lan zhan goes to wei ying
[Brief trivia note: the Ouyang cultivator who brought Xiao-Yu gifts is his paternal grandfather; Xiao-Yu's birth father is the young master from Baling who challenged LWJ's choice to adopt Xiao-Yu during the discussion conference.] holy FUCK HOW THE TURN TABLES?!!!! AH?!!!! DUDEE
Wen ning 🥺😭😭😭😭pls come back 😭😭
WA IT WHAT???? "Wen Ning drags in a deep, loud breath, crying Jie, Jie, Jie, and takes another staggering step into his sister’s arms. " im going to have to re read the second half of this chapter aren't i
Did Lan xiyan summon wen qing to her body to cure the plague and her baby? Or is it something else? “It was, I think, only out of desperation that Lang Xiyan managed to find a remedy that would cure the blinding distemper.” my mind is running in circles
THE SERVING GIRL?
/oh/ it *is* wen qing. Im-
You really did that holy shit.  I deeply appreciate tge explanation on the author notes and am happy to see i did understand and realize. I'm gonna have to re re read this a third time to see the foreshadowing again bc its immaculate holy shit.  This is so good
"Upon further reflection, perhaps he ought to think about why A-Hong’s words cheer him as they do. 
But Jiang Cheng is nothing if not a master of dismissing such matters entirely, so he finishes the rest of his dinner in silence and hurries off to bed. " must all Jiang men be fools when it comes to love?
“Whatever you may wish from me, it is yours already,” Lan Zhan says solemnly. “Our marriage bows have nothing to do with it. Have we not lived as zhangfu and xiang-gong these last thirteen months, my heart?" Im going to get cavities.
The wen siblings arrived to gusu!!!!!! 💙💙💙
"Wei Wuxian slumps back onto the floor like a miserable red pancake as he stares up at the rafters. " I too am crying over wen qing.  Also 'miserable red pancake 'ajfjskfkskkf
"Wei Wuxian obeys with his heart in his throat, and blushes so fiercely at the thought of the day to come that Wen Qing giggles herself into a coughing fit. " 🥺🤣🤣🤣
lmao MIANMIAN! Telljng the "are you in love with maiden Luo? " story ajfjamfkskgkskgi prime material always to poke fun at wangxian
THEYRE MARRIED YOUR HONOR 😭🥺🥺💙💙💙💙🥺🥺🥺🥺💙💙💙💙💙💙
"Mm, I know. It’s the same with A-Hua, even though I didn’t give birth to her. She’s mine, the best of me, and she’s going to have everything she could ever want.”
MY HEART!
[a look into the future at Ouyang Zizhen and A-Qing's wedding day! Much baby fluff, feels, and hijinks to follow. <^-^>] !!!!!! IM EXCITED FOR THIS!!
"for the Cloud Recesses loves its troublemakers dearly, and nobody weeps more bitterly than its master when one is finally married away from the sect. " you keep coming out with Bangers for lines these are so good
Aaahhhh my heart!!!!! A single tear of joy dropped from my face as I finished reading sjskciaufis. This was so good !!!!!!! I mm going to go on and read everything in this series of course.  I hope I wasn't too bothersome with my long ass coment, quotes and all

Series: Part 49 of Twelve Moons and a Fortnight Verse
Summary:
“Xiongzhang and Gege and Jueying all know where they come from,” Shuilan said to herself, on a chilly green morning in the spring of her ninth year. “And Qing-jiejie didn’t come to the Cloud Recesses until she was almost grown up, so it’s different for her.”
And then, very quietly, she whispered:
“Everyone’s parents died but mine, and Chun-bao never had any others to start with. I’m the only one of us who was sent away.”
Or: Wei Shuilan contemplates the secrets of her past, and grapples with the prospect of never learning anything more about them.

1. Hi how are you?🤭 do you have fic recs that are canondiv (fix it would be better) + abo? I’d loveeeeee if xicheng is also involved (im rewatching it yes)

2. For the next itmf request, I'm interested in fics where at least one character is understanding of (or even defends) wwx for not being ready/emotionally available for romance as quickly as others would like. (I mean... look at his life. Which spoons, exactly, was he supposed to dedicate to romance?) Basically a more sympathetic take on wwx's late blooming.
does it have to be canon timeline or is modern AU okay?

5. Hello, I love this community and the work the mods do for it! For the next In The Mood For, could I get recs for Wangxian with Sugar Daddy LWJ? Doesn't have to be explicit or a formal sugaring arrangement, just the vibes is also good. @aralintheobsessive

7. Hello amazing people! For the next itmf, could you please recommend some extremely kind, soft, sweet or comfort fics? It may be a tooth-rotting sweet love story or a nice and funny one with junior adventures. Preferably something with Wei Wuxian as one of the central characters!
I am interested to see what people usually read when they get sad or depressed or, for example, disturbed by some sad/dead-dovy story and read something extremely comforting which helps to raise the mood and concentrate on positive and happy thoughts. Something that would return you from the pit of distress into fluffy and sweet cloud, if the story makes you hide in your pillow from love, humour and cuteness, it's definitely one.

9. Hi! For the next ITMF, could you recommend me
A) a failed ambush at qionqi path. Like WWX didn't come to the celebration/WWX and JZX alive
B) a succesful one. Like WWX dies/WWX, JZN, JZX dies (all of them dies)
Thank you!!! @idontknowwhattowriteforusername
All these are a mix of A & B, in the sense that the ambush fails (WWX & JZX live), but WWX is assumed dead at first & the cultivation world reacts as if he is. So a little of both depending on how you look at it.

10. Hi! Thank you for running this blog, I’ve found so many good fics from here.
I want to ask, for ITMF, do you have any fics where there’s a lot of world building, especially with cultivation (demonic or otherwise). An example I could think of is ‘Talking is Better than Silence’ by KuroiWrites, and ‘Flute in Wartime’ series.
If that’s too restrictive, could I ask for general world building ones. Long fics preferred.
Thank you very much!!

In the Lull Before Paradise
in the lull before paradise by stiltonbasket
“A-Zhan, married after all this time!” he chuckles to himself, quivering a little at the sweetness of it all. “I can scarcely believe it.”
“Neither can I,” Wangji says sleepily, propping himself up on his elbow. “Xiongzhang, aren't you tired yet?”
“No, not really. I've been trying to sleep, but I can't.”
Wangji puts a hand on his brow. “Are you ill?”
“Not in the slightest, didi. I was only thinking about tomorrow.”
Or: on the last night before his wedding, Lan Wangji sleeps in the Hanshi with his brother.

~*~
If you didn’t get an answer to your ask here, don’t forget to make use of @mdzs-kinkmeme​ and MDZS KINK MEME on Dreamwidth.  Authors actually do use them for ideas. You may get what you order!   ***Your prompt doesn’t have to be kink!  Fluff, crack, whatever - it’s all good!***

To celebrate the absolute insanity that is this little blog reaching a follower milestone of over 1,000 followers (honestly, how did that even happen?)

There are just so many amazingly talented writers within this fandom, and this is really just the tiniest slice of some of the fantastic stories out there in the wild. Thank you to all the many fic writers out there that provide such incredible content simply for both the love of the characters and the love of writing in general! 💖 I appreciate you for providing so many wonderful escapes and new journeys that we can once again join our beloved characters on.

7. Do you have any enemies?
BOY DO I!!!! do they know they're my enemies? probably not but here's a quick list:
1. my dad
2. a retailer in canada who is the rudest man i've ever spoken to
3. a retailer in florida who made up a whole fantasy world where i am either a phone sex worker OR his wife with which he has 2 kids
4. a man in my comm classes who i yelled at twice: once for interrupting me while i was asking a question to ask his own question, and once for saying "but if women went to work, who would take care of the kids at home" and like. Meant it. (fun fact bc i went to a small school the first incident spread fast in our department despite there only being 5 people in class that day. the next week i had other people coming up to me saying they were rooting for the day i finally snapped and destroyed him) (fun fact redux one of those people was the prof from the second incident)
5. a fairly popular blogger on This Very Website who reported my friend's fics (which would be considered Fandom Classics nowadays for the fandom we were in) to ff.net during the 2010-11 M rating purge. they bragged about it, basically said "follow the rules and there won't be a problem, sweaty :)", sent their followers to harass those of us who stood up for my friend, and in the meantime they were doing illegal scanlations of fancomics and manga. every single time i see their user name i see red and have to close the app for a bit. we haven't shared a fandom since 2016-17 but i dread the day it happens again
6. jeff bezos

3, 6, 19, 20 for the fanfic asks please!! Hope you're having a good evening 😊💙
I am thank you! Sorry it took me so long to answer this!
3. Do you prefer canonverse or AUs?
AUs! Canon is nice but I enjoy seeing other people’s takes on it and writing my own
6. What’s the last thing you read that made you laugh?
“<<Why couldn't you walk?>>
<<Oh, my innocent younger self...>>”
from I Would Enter Your Sleep If I Could And Guard You There by lovelyseraph which I stayed up until 4am reading and am still not done (we love long fics)
19. What’s your favorite character headcanon?
Lan Wangji picked the Suona as his cultivation instrument when he was 7 for the sole purpose of driving the Elders mad after his mother died because he didn’t understand what had happened and thought that they were keeping her from him as punishment. He was later begged forced asked by Lan Xichen to switch to Quqin, which he ended up liking a lot more as it was his mother’s favorite instrument.
20. Do you have a favorite fanfic or author? If so, tag them/post a link and share the love!
I have So Many but here are my main faves:
The Murder of Crows by cerbykerby
Yearning for Miles by Murahi
Twelve Moons and a Fortnight Verse by @stiltonbasket

“What else did you miss?” Shi Qingxuan mutters, completely oblivious to Nie Mingjue’s inner turmoil as she peels herself another mango. “Hua Cheng invited all of his Highness’s friends from heaven to the Ghost City, if you can believe it. Lord Mercy even managed to visit, so he could give the baby a blessing.”
“Lord Mercy?” Nie Mingjue asks. While he hasn’t had the time to meet many heavenly officials, he does know most of their names and titles by virtue of hanging around with Shi Qingxuan; and whoever Lord Mercy is, he’s fairly sure the Lady Wind Master has never mentioned him before. “Who’s that?”
 Nie Mingjue’s ascension to the heavenly courts comes as a surprise. Thirty years later, so does Lan Xichen’s.
(Wherein the Red Blade Master stumbles his way into paradise with none other than the new Lord Mercy, and everything is Shi Qingxuan’s fault, as usual.)

Is TMAAF a crossover with TGCF?
Sort of. TMAAF and TGCF are set in the same universe, but at very different points in the timeline. TMAAF takes place during the 700s, by which point the Great Sects were about 300 years old, and the "present-day" arc of TGCF took place around a century before the Great Sects were founded.
None of the TMAAF characters interact with the TGCF "world" (i.e., the heavens/ghost realm) or characters until 35 years after Wangxian's wedding, when Lan Xichen ascends as a deity of healing.

Jin chan is next in line for Jin himbos liking strong competent girls.
Somehow, almost every straight couple in the TMAAF + adjacent verses has ended up being himbo + Strong Competent Girl (except for Jiang Cheng and Yu Zhenhong, because they're not exactly himbos). I don't know why this keeps happening. :0

curious anon-do you have any go-to language/terminology references for your fics?
Yes, definitely. Here's a mostly complete list: if I remember a few more, I'll add them in later. If you find this post through a reblog chain, please keep in mind that the version on my blog will be updated from time to time, so click back for additional references if the reblogged post contains broken links or doesn’t have what you’re looking for.
Masterpost of references for the MDZS/CQL fandom (re: terminology, look here for naming guides and a list of familial terms. You'll also find information on wedding and funeral customs, cultivation lore, MDZS maps and sect history, and novel/audio drama summaries.)
Click here to find the "40 Q&A's" interview with MXTX.
Detailed glossary/explanations of concepts in wuxia, xuanhuan, and xianxia novels. Look here for a guide to weapons, martial arts, more cultivation lore, and a few units of measurement.
Guide to the martial family. You can also find a separate guide through the masterpost.
Guide to modern/historical titles. This is a Wikipedia page and most likely incomplete, but came in handy after the guide in the MDZS masterpost was removed. 
Guide to Chinese nobility. Look here for basic information about the peer ranks of various dynasties.
For a guide specific to the Qing dynasty (aka, the one I used for Flowers in the Palace) click here.
For a guide to marriage, concubinage, and social mores and customs for women, try Marriage and Inequality in Chinese Society.
Guide to Chinese clothing, by @ziseviolet. Click here for information on historical fashions, hairstyles, accessories, and so on. Try this link for clothing/textile references for other countries/cultures.
Brief overview of Chinese musical notation and guqin musical notation. Not detailed, but provides a fair explanation of how written music was recorded.
Color terms you're not likely to find with google translate, by @linghxr. These include translations for colors like cyan, indigo, luminous white, etc.
More about colors and their symbolism here.
Timekeeping. Wiki article about the dual hour, fifteen daylight hours, etc.
Traditional calendar. I bookmarked this page for the phenological month names used in TMAAF, but there’s a lot more information here. Look here for a list of traditional Chinese holidays.
For food: someone on Twitter made a detailed guide to the dishes that the characters in MDZS would have eaten, but I’ll have to go looking for it. In the meantime, try these links.
Hubei cuisine (Yunmeng): 1, 2
Hebei cuisine (Qinghe)
Shaanxi cuisine (Qishan)
Shandong cuisine (Lanling)
Jiangsu cuisine (Gusu)
(Note: most of the recipes in the Twelve Moons and a Fortnight verse are from The Woks of Life and Made with Lau.)
For individual words and characters: try hantrainerpro or its full dictionary index. Given a word/character, you can find its definitions, synonyms, other words that contain the character, and a list of different words pronounced the same way. I also use Written Chinese to look up the individual radicals within a character, but there are several better dictionaries out there.
For a mobile Chinese dictionary, try Pleco.

I'm rereading Twelve Moons And A Fortnight for the 4th time, as well as dipping into your other fics - I love the world(s) you've created so much!
I want to ask about the thing I'm kind of still confused about: how exactly does Wei Ying (and Xichen as well) actuallt cultivate a child? Is it your JC that they do some kind of intensive meditation that creates one from a golden core? Or does the soul that wants to reincarnate pick them or what?
Always the former, sometimes both. The parent's golden core has to set aside an amount of "extra" energy equal to the total energy the child's body would contain, once born; and after the parent stockpiles enough energy, the child is able to use the parent's body as a kind of template to construct a body of its own. This is why the infant spirit of Lan Jingyi spends so much time wandering around Lan Xichen's body in Life in Love's Exchange; he's learning how human bodies work so that he can manifest one after LXC saves up enough energy to create it.
Re: reincarnation, this is the only way someone without a golden core can cultivate a baby in the TMAAF verse. When Jiang Yanli's soul was ready to reincarnate, she went to her original birthplace of Lotus Pier and found that two of Jiang-furen's dead relatives were waiting to be reincarnated as her children; and by the time she traveled to Lanling, Jin Zixuan's spirit had already chosen Jin Ling as his future father. After that, she went to the Cloud Recesses and waited until Wei Wuxian had soaked up enough spiritual energy from the cold springs before being reincarnated as his daughter Chunyang.

@3point14rsquared​ “That rumor is intriguing. Is Jiang Chi, Jiang Fengmian’s father?”
Jiang Chi was the founder of the Jiang sect, so from the same generation as Lan An and Wen Mao! In the TMAAF-verse, Wei Long was his second-in-command (and also his older half-brother, since his mother had a son from a previous marriage, though this was never publicly acknowledged because Wei Long was technically born into a different family.) This makes WWX and JC (and Jiang Fengmian and Wei Changze) very distant cousins, with about six or seven generations’ worth of separation between them; after Yunmeng Jiang was established, the Wei family served as deputies to the Jiang family until WCZ’s elopement and then Wei Wuxian’s marriage into Gusu Lan, which is when the role was officially taken over by Yu Zhenhong’s branch of the Yu family.
