Wait! That's so clever :0 Lwj basically forces the marriage (onto lqr) and we'd get a bunch of overprotective shidis and shimeis on our hand :)
Every once a while I will cross paths with a another sect! Wwx au and yk that's cool and all, but these aus always (understandably) revolve around the Great sects, but that's got me thinking of a wwx being adopted by the sect leader of a relatively new sect!
Here I go:
Wwx is picked up from the streets by the sect leader when he's 6-7(? I can't remember how old wwx was when jfm found him) originally for selfish purposes to increase the disciplines in his sect, but unfortunately for the man wwx grows on this man and his wife like fungus (also wwx being a genius prodigy makes him even more favorable)
I'd imagine by the time wwx is 15 the sect had grown a decent size... not big by any means but wealthy enough to afford an invite to the cr classes, ofc wwx and like a humble amount of disciplines from the sect are taken and wwx meets lwj blah blah.
So ik alot of u are asking. What would be the difference to canon? Difference is Wwx actually has a good support system in this universe, also lwj being the petty man he is marries INTO the small sect just to piss off all the big sect leaders (and his uncle+ brotherl)
(Actually tbh he also has valid reasons, but its funny to think of those as reasons too)
Feel free to add to this as it matinatez.
so... more of these guys
IM SORRY, THEY'RE ON THE NOGGIN 24/7
but yeah, i came up with their designs
passages that make me want to hit Xichen with a steel chair
I LOVE ELDRITCH HORROR WWX SO MUCH, like PLEASE mess him up even more! Lwj finds his creepiness attractive.
It's the lan genes
Idea;
Wei Wuxian returns from the burial mounds... changed.
Obviously he's changed; anyone would change after such an experience, not to mention his new proclivity for demonic cultivation.
But it's more than that. Lan Wangji can't put his finger on it, but there's something... off, about Wei Wuxian. No-one else seems willing to directly acknowledge it, but they feel it too.
Lan Wangji approaches Wei Wuxian as he digs up corpses for the army, and when Wei Wuxian stands to speak to him something deep in the corner of Lan Wangji's mind cries out, telling him that something isn't right, but he doesn't know why. Something about how Wei Wuxian stands, the movement of his body, seems wrong. But Lan Wangji can't put his finger on why.
Jaing Cheng is directing disciples as they prepare to march, and Wei Wuxian suddenly whispers in his ear from just behind, calling his name. He flinches and turns around to scold him for playing around, only... Wei Wuxian is over ten paces away. He's waving at Jiang Cheng, clearly having just called him, but he'd sounded so close. Jiang Cheng had felt his breath on his neck! No, he must be mistaken...
Nie Huaisang finds himself distracted when speaking with Wei Wuxian. Something doesn't seem right about his eyes, but he can't quite figure out what. The color? They're dark gray, but weren't they silver? Is there more pupil than normal? It something off about the shape? He finds that if he tries to focus on it, to figure out what it is that's bothering him, Wei Wuxian's features almost seem to blur; he can see the man clearly, but for some reason he can't pin down what about his eyes seems strange.
There are a million other stories. Sometimes his shadow doesn't match him. Maybe his voice holds a strange, echoing quality. Sometimes you can almost hear the cadence of an entirely different voice hidden in Wei Wuxian's tone. From the corner of their eyes, sometimes people see odd shapes on his figure; like an arm where it's not supposed to be, a shift in his skin, his hair blowing in the wind where there is no wind.
No too stories are the same, and no-one can actually describe what it is about Wei Wuxian that seems off. The only thing everyone can agree on, is that something is very, very strange about Wei Wuxian.
Yk how in canon while it is said that cultivators do age physically they don't gain the average aging features (such as wrinkles, white hairs etc) I need me an au where wwx never regains his core so while wangxian do age together and grow old together, Wwx ages normally while lwj doesn't:
Wwx: ahh.. lwj i don't know why you stay with this old man..
Lwj: Wei Ying we are the same age.
"Omg wwx was so oblivious how did he not realize that he was in love with lwj/that lwj loved him?" Idk man he was busy being tortured by the narrative
do u think wei wuxian like felt up nie mingjue's chest and went "yyyup. thats nie mingjue" and then lan zhan was like cool lets go and wei wuxian just like...kind of kept his hand there for a bit
Nope I totally get your point! I think the only sect leader who was willing to call arh out was nmj and tbh... even his reason for doing so is really more cause his dad was killed and not because wrh was yk... slaughtering smaller clans
Am I missing something or is Yu Ziyuan half at fault for the Lotus Pier Massacre? I'm not talking about beating Wang Lingjiao up (understandable). But right before that, beating Wei Wuxian up to the point where he can barely move. And then when she starts beating up WLJ and orders her dead, WLJ escapes past WWX. He totally could've stopped her from setting off that signal flare if he hadn't been whipped with Zidian within an inch of his life.
I know there were a lot of factors and even if she hadn't beaten WWX up to the point where he couldn't do anything, or even if she grit her teeth and bowed down to WLJ (and subsequently cut off his hand), they probably would've found another excuse. But YZY's actions really didn't help.
