good jiang parents au where lan wangji finally went to visit wei wuxian in lotus pier and they have a romantic/sexual tension moment in wei wuxian's room, they're almost kissing when jiang cheng suddenly arrives and opens the door sharply and loudly, startling the boys inside.
jiang cheng stares at them and wei wuxian stares back, lan wangji panicking in silence in the back. and then jiang cheng smirks and turns around, making wei wuxian scramble up and run after him yelling "jiang cheng NO! COME BACK HERE"
they run for a moment, servants and discuples stepping back to avoid collision, until jiang cheng finally arrives at his parents favorite pavilion where he knows they're having afternoon tea together and yells: "MOM WEI WUXIAN WAS KISSING LAN WANGJI IN HIS BEDROOM!"
wei wuxian, "SHUT UP!"
madam yu, almost choking on her tea, "what"
jiang fengmian, breaking his brush in the middle of letter writing, "WHAT"

Knowing damn well I'm going to be disputed, I just want to say:
One thing that's discussed a lot is Wei Wuxian always being singled out for punishment in the Jiang Household no matter what happened or how many were involved. It's how he developed his "I'll just do and say what I want since I'll get punished anyway" mentality in the first place. Yet we don't talk enough about how Jiang Cheng still tries to defend him despite being scared of his mum.
Everyone knows that Jiang Cheng often puts pleasing elders first before anything else, that's why he scolds Wei Wuxian so much while they're at Gusu, cause he's causing ruckus and "disgracing the family name. Stop that". Jiang Cheng is not the bravest of people and everyone can talk from now till the next decade about how he should have stood up more for what's right, but he's not the kind of person. Jiang Cheng will not stick out his neck to defend someone he does not give two shits about. 💀 It's family first. People can hate him for that, judge him for that, but let's face it there are very few people that would compromise their family's safety or comfort in the name of doing the right thing.
So when the Wens come and start demanding that the Jiangs submit and that Wei Wuxian should get handed over to them, Jiang Cheng starts begging his mum to spare him (I don't know if that's in the books but it's in the drama and it's in Donghua). In the drama, her maidservants had to literally drag Jiang Cheng off Wei Wuxian when Madam Yu started her brutal whipping. If anything, Jiang Cheng's unwavering care for the child Madam Yu considered his replacement only riled her more. That's why she called him a fool. That's why Jiang Cheng suffered so much emotional abuse, because Jiang Cheng wouldn't stop caring for Wei Wuxian.
"Jiang Cheng only loved Wei Wuxian as a servant" my ass. 🙄 How many nobles get tortured for their servants?

I could see Jiang Cheng taking in demonic cultivators and saving them, not out of the goodness of his heart, but out of spite.
Like every time he convinces someone to stop their demonic cultivation, he cackles, and says "Take that Wei Wuxian! Point 1 for me and point ???? for you. There's one less person being piece-of-shit demonic cultivator like you." with the added bonus of now having an additional cultivator in his ranks.
and then we get the angst of "if i can save these people, why couldn't i save you?"

The Crimson At Dusk Will Always Lead To The Crimson At Dawn
MDZS What if - Aftermath of the First Siege of the Burial Mounds
What Happened after JWY stabbed WWX during the Siege.
Jiang Wanyin stared at the Yiling Patriarch as the harsh sound of steel stabs through flesh. A mission well done. He should be happy. A-Jie, this is how it should have been, who were you trying to save?
He looked up.
A burst of happiness should have filled him; a bit of color after being drenched in black, shadows within his vision everytime he wakes up. These last few years has been suffering after suffering after suffering. The hands of the ones who used to hold him whenever he needed it, wanted it or just because they can are long gone. They left him and the only who was still here became someone he couldn't recognize.
Or maybe he just pretended because he needed something from us. We were convenient.
A demon that murdered someone who only wanted to protect him despite everything. A beast that takes and takes and-
But this isn't a night hunt. What he hurt isn't a fierce corpse or a vengeful spirit. He glanced up and opened his eyes halfway, scared to realize what he was looking at. Terrified to the bone to know what he had done.
This isn't the monster who took everything away from him. This is his brother.
His brother who always looked at him with pride whenever he did something good. The first one to always praise him whenever he did something good and takes him away before he does something unforgivable.
The one that was always with him. The one that promised to always be with him.
If only you stayed with us. This never would have happened. This is all you fault.
He wanted to blame him. Tell him that he should have chose better. You should have chosen us, he wanted to say.
But all the words got stuck on his throat. He felt like a petulant child that has gotten caught sneaking out at night. You liar, he wanted to say.
His brother was looking at him with those familiar eyes. The ones that he had always seen whenever his brother saw the progress Lotus Pier had after the war. A look of utmost pride for him.
For a moment, he felt a burst of delight filling his chest, just like it always had, until it all bursted away with the sight of dark crimson blood.
He thought of the red ribbon that his brother always wore. It was worn and used but was taken care of. The only thing that his brother kept and wore throughout everything. His sword and bell, long forgotten.
He thought of the robes A-Jie wore during her wedding, the dusk that his brother always loved seeing and the dawn Jiang Cheng always thought was more beautiful.
Then he thought of the floors Lotus Pier bore during the massacre. The walls and the liquid that dripped into the lakes that surrounded his home. Of the color that filled his vision upon the sight of it.
What is the difference between love and suffering, if both are covered in red?
His brother looked at him as if he wanted to pat his head and he can almost hear his voice.
ChengCheng really is the best! This Da-Shixiong is so proud!
Can almost see him try to wipe away his imaginary tears and-
He can almost see himself yelling and punching him in the gut just like what he deserves-
He looked down.
His sword that he once used to protect his brother, now deeply embedded into him. Instead of his fist, it's the sword he used to kill the Wens that destroyed his home, murdered his parents, took his brother -- his brother who was killed by him.
No. I didn't hit anything important. With his core, he could heal this in a few days, a week at most. I didn't kill him. I didn't. A-jie believe me I didn't-
Dozens of corpses surrounded them, for a split second he felt betrayal. A feeling that disappeared after he saw the corpses go after Wei Wuxian and he disappeared under the mass of bodies he knows in his heart that his brother commanded.
The sight left him confused. This is familiar. His A-Jie died surrounded by corpses but this is also his brother, he was still there. The only one still here, he thought.
He didn't know whether to kill the corpses attacking his brother or leave it, controlled by grief.
His confusion left him grounded, his feet planted mere centimeters away from the soil that was stained by his brother's blood, blood that he himself spilled.
His only consolation is the knowledge that his brother can control corpses as easy as breathing. His mind going to the last conversation they had, the last time that there are still three of them.
I thought you said you can control it!
I can! It's not me! I already stopped!
He found that a bit hard to believe. If there's anything he can put his trust on, its his brother's strength. The strength that always made him second in his father's eyes, he bitterly thought. Who could ever be stronger than his brother?
He turned around and declared "The Yiling Patriarch has been hunted down!" That's right, the Yiling Patriarch is gone, he'll make sure of it. There were cheers around him but he can't seem to join them and he fears he knows the answer why.
A few hours passed and it was way past midnight. He looked around and made sure no one is following him, that no one is watching him.
Jiang Cheng went to the place he last saw his brother in and called out his name, disdain almost solid in his voice.
"Wei Wuxian!"
"Wei Wuxian! Think about all the troubles you already caused me and show yourself!"
"You have to pay for what you did to A-Jie! Your face would be a nice payment! We will burn it until you could no longer even recognize yourself in the mirror"
"Wei Wuxian you-"
All the words that he wanted to say died in his throat the second time during the day.
Chenqing is in the middle of a puddle of blood, right where his brother got buried under the army he once commanded with ease.
His brother is strong, he's not dead and if he thinks he can hide from me then-
"WEI WUXIAN ARE YOU RUNNING AWAY AGAIN?!"
He shouted and cursed until his voice is sore, his core healing him despite the damage he purposely kept doing to himself and it filled him with warmth.
Warmth like an embrace but, as he looked back, there's no one there anymore. The last one slipped right through his fingers, right in front of his eyes.
But Wei Wuxian is not dead. The next time he see him he will break his legs so that idiot won't be able to run away anymore.
He grabbed Chenqing and refused to hand it over to the Jins who demanded it like a trophy. They took Suibian, but that's fine. That sword that his brother refused to carry is not the one Wei Wuxian will want to take. He would want Chenqing and when he comes for it, he will make sure he won't ever leave Lotus Pier again.
"I killed him, this is mine"
He lied through his teeth. Despite knowing that he didn't hit anything vital to kill, that this is just Wei Wuxian's ploy to escape. Despite knowing that his brother is not dead, he's alive.
Years passed and his brother never came for Chenqing. Maybe he abandoned it. Just like he abandoned me.
If Wei Wuxian isn't coming, then he'll hunt him down.
Before he knew it, more than a decade passed, thirteen years to be exact. Jin Ling was night hunting in Dafan, when he heard Wen Ning is still around and he was called by this person who doesn't look like his brother but with eyes so familiar.
All the grief he pretended that doesn't exist transformed into anger far more than he thought he could ever feel.
You chose him over me again? Were you together this whole time while I was all alone searching all over for you?
He hates Wen Ning. His brother left them for him and the other Wens despite knowing that he will be forsaken by the world, knowing that the Wens are the ones to destroy their home.
His brother always loved saving people but he never thought that he will leave them for a couple of strangers.
Is he your brother now? Why do you keep choosing him over me? Twin Prides of Yunmeng? How laughable. I'm always lacking in your eyes, just like how my father and mother kept telling me.
He learned that his brother actually died that night thirteen years ago after being stabbed by Jiang Cheng. He was told it was not him who killed him.
He knew that already.
Wei Wuxian that's only fear is to be bitten by dogs.
And Wei Wuxian who was bitten to death by the corpses he commanded.
Wei Ying that was found alone in Yiling.
And Wei Ying who died alone in Yiling.
His brother who killed himself right in front of him , who looked at him with pride before everything ended.
The Jiang Sect gained a lot from the Siege. Recognition and funds came easy until it doesn't seem like he was rebuilding a dying sect anymore.
Is that why you let me come close? So I could get the honor of killing you? Did you know what will happen after that?
It felt too much like a last gift. The refusal to dodge and the look of pride before he killed himself in front of me.
They settled on a new relationship, an awkward closeness and distance between them. Lan Wangji is his brother's new partner now. His brother? Can he even call him that?
After the events at Guanyin Temple, he learned the answer. Wei Wuxian who never chose him, or so he thought.
It was Jiang Cheng who he thought of the most after all. Who he chose above all others. It was him all along.
His brother died thirteen years ago, because Jiang Cheng did nothing; killed himself thirteen years ago, because Jiang Cheng did nothing.
He thought of the what-ifs, if only he killed the corpses attacking his brother like he considered back then, yet he stared until there's not even a body to give a proper burial to, refused to give a proper burial to.
He could only laugh as tears joined the water he and his brother used to swin in when they were kids. His brother that he doesn't deserve.
His mind went to the night he called his to brother until he could no longer utter words. He wasn't imagining that warmth.
He touched his chest where his, no Wei Wuxian's core is. His brother never left him, he was always with him all along. Twin Prides of Yunmeng. His brother who helped him achieve everything he had these past thirteen years, without asking for recognition. His brother who loved him so deeply to give him every cultivator's greatest treasure.
His brother who starved in the mounds asking him to abandon him despite knowing that if he just told Jiang Cheng everything, he would help him and protect the people he wanted to protect so much.
But he didn't, because he did not want to cause Jiang Cheng trouble. This secret that he carried to the grave just to spare his feelings.
He wanted to laugh but it came out as a sob. There was never any monster, never any beast. It was always just his brother all along. His brother who wanted to carry all the sufferings for him if he could.
When his brother and Lan Wangji wore red together. He remembered the question he once asked himself.
What is the difference between love and suffering, if both are covered in red.
The answer is nothing but also everything.
He saw his brother at his worst wrapped in red, and now he is seeing his brother at his happiest surrounded and enveloped by red.
His face is different but is also exactly as he remembered at the same time.
If red is both suffering and love, then it was not the world that was cruel, it was you who loved me so much to wish the best for me.
He and his brother were never the same as before anymore. Way too many words and regretful actions have been said done between them. But blood or not, he is still his brother. He doesn't quite live in Lotus Pier, not even in Yunmeng unlike his time in Yiling. He was way up into the mountains in the place with more rules than words spoken a day. In the place he said he hated.
He told Wei Wuxian he hated him right before he stabbed thirteen years ago. It turns out they really are brothers, throwing words they never meant.
Wei Wuxian drags Lan Wangji, Lan Sizhui and the too noisy brat to be called a Lan every holiday and birthday to Lotus Pier late at night, past the Lan bedtime to celebrate with him and Jin Ling.
How he could convince to old man to let them go, Jiang Cheng doesn’t know nor does he want to know. Looking at Lan Wangji, maybe his brother isn't the one responsible for it. And how Wei Wuxian convinced the walking rules to do his bidding is something Jiang Cheng doesn’t even want to think about.
If he asks the servants in the house to start the preparations for the celebrations late in the afternoon and to absolutely have the finest wine Yunmeng currenty has on the table, that is none of Wei Wuxian's business.
Jiang Cheng slept easier that night. Way easier than the times he slept all these thirteen years.
I was writing a prompt then it turned into this lolol

mdzs kindergarten au where 10yo nie mingjue went to pick his baby bro a-sang and baby a-ying and a-cheng look at him and go woah you're so big gege are you adult?? a-sang your brother looks so cool!! and start following mingjue gege around like little ducklings, a-sang loves this because he loves his dage and loves when people love him, so he's a very happy child; on the other side, shy a-zhan is silently jealous and bit a-sang until he bleeds because a-sang is a friend thief and a brother thief
they grow up and wei ying and jiang cheng still look up to mingjue, now 20yo, and start playing football ⚽ because of him and huaisang is like "please don't ask me to do this with you guys or i'll hate you forever and tell dage to not talk to you guys ever again" so he ends up as they supporter from the stands while they play and always ask mingjue ge to watch their big games, trying to shoot as much goals as they could; while they're at it, lan zhan, still jealous of mingjue but now for a different reason, decides to play basketball (because he is higher than everyone in school) and try to show off to his best friend wei ying in hopes he'll finally fall in love with him, and even asks huaisang for help sometimes (he doesn't know, but wei ying is already head over hills in love with his lan zhan, but is afraid of losing his friendship over a (im)possible unrequited love)
now they're all in college, jin zixuan finally realized how much of a idiot he is and now is trying to court jiang yanli (and is somewhat successful although nothing he does go exactly the way he wanted to), mingjue is married to meng yao, and both wei ying and jiang cheng still look up to him but now they're more mature about it. wei ying stopped playing football so he could chase his dream of being an artist, going to university with huaisang who's studying fashion. lan zhan thought very seriously on what he wanted to do and he more or less disappointed his uncle when he said he would go to the same uni as wei ying and huaisang because he wanted to study music. xichen asks, very seriously, if he chose this so he could still be beside wei ying and lan zhan is quite offended, but doesn't really deny it. jiang cheng went to another uni the same as jin zixuan and senior lan xichen, still plays football and still asks mingjue ge to watch his important games together with his friends and sister
and when they're finally adults, during wangxian marriage (after do many years pining stupidly), huaisang smirks and start his maid of honor speech with a power point presentation full of pictures and some short videos about their love story, talking about wei ying's crush on his dage and lan zhan's cute childish jealousy (and he can clearly see xichen's fingers in this, he didn't remember being filmed while crying that wei ying loved mingjue ge more than him, but he was six for the love of the gods!!) and proceedes to show embarrassing pictures of both of them pining from afar and everyone just laugh and share their own stories and the couple is embarrassed but a bit more in love with each other. they're all happy
by the end of all the speeches, lan zhan very calmly take the microphone, thanks everyone for being present, his uncle for everything, his parents in law for wei ying, his husband, and then he turns and look to his brother for a long moment with a tiny, tiny smirk and then look to huaisang ans says, very serious "thank you huaisang for being our friend, and for holding my brother's heart with so much affection, i can't wait for my turn to make a speech on your marriage"
wei ying and jiang cheng laugh so hard and so loud, mingjue chokes hard on his wine and laugh and cough at the same time, wei ying's parent try to hide their own laughter and uncle qiren just sigh with a head shake, while both xichen and huaisang just turn bright red with embarrassment, huaisang glaring at lan zhan before sighing loudly and muttering "i hate you, you petty bitch"

I just remembered a comment I saw on tiktok about a year ago. It said: "There is a club that is in charge of trying to convince Jiang Cheng that he hates Wei WuXian, when he really does not, The leader of the club is Jiang Cheng."

The symbolism of Jiang Cheng giving back Suibian and Wei Wuxian leaving behind Chenqing.
Then Jiang Cheng giving back Chenqing after Wei Wuxian leaves behind Suibian.
Jiang Cheng is always taking care of Wei Wuxian's legacy, hm?

"Why are MXTX books 90% angst?"
We should be thankful of the 10% because left to her own devices, I'm pretty sure MXTX would be happier writing tragedies back to back. (TT)
Her last deuteragonist was stuck waiting 800 years, I really feel for the fourth guy. I also pray that it's not our first tragedy. (TT)
