WangxianFicRecs Presents:

Non-Yunmeng Wei Wuxian

(Y’all reblog, because this has too many links to show up in tag search)

~~ JIN ~~

❤️Candy & Conspiracies by cl410

T, 16k, wangxian, my post

Summary: “Wei Wuxian is the son of two rogue cultivators who recently died on a night-hunt,” his mother explained. “We are taking him in as a favor to a friend.”

At least it wasn’t another surprise half-sibling.

It did not take long for Jin Zixuan to reconsider. Wei Wuxian was a gremlin, brought to Koi Tower for the sole purpose of driving Jin Zixuan into insanity.

Twin Treasures by crossdressingdeath

T, 81k, WIP, wwx & jzx (other relationship tags to be added)

[I haven’t read this one yet, but I’m definitely subscribed!]

Summary: When Madame Jin happens to come across Cangse Sanren’s orphaned son on a trip to Yiling, she can’t bring herself to leave him there. Wei Wuxian finds a somewhat different family. Jin Zixuan finds a little brother. The course of history changes accordingly.

(Some things are written in fate, but even fate itself changes.)

~~ LAN ~~

Life is Like a Stranger by through_shadows_falling

G (I’d say T), 70k, wangxian, my post here

Summary: The marketplace was too loud, too much, and Lan Zhan couldn’t breathe.

So he ran from his brother and uncle and hid in a back alley, which was not as empty as he thought.

Enter the dirtiest boy Lan Zhan had ever met - a boy who called himself Wei Ying.

(AKA Lan Zhan brings Wei Ying back to Cloud Recesses and this is their childhood as they grow up together)

❤️The Three Jades of Lan

by IceBreeze

T, 37k, series with 5 works, WIP, incomplete (READ IT ANYWAY) [my post here]

Summary: “Lan Zhan, Lan Zhan, look!” Wei Ying did a twirl. “I’m the same as you now! Am I pretty? Say Lan Zhan, am I pretty?”

Huan muffled a laugh behind his sleeve as A-Zhan said “Mn,” eyes never once leaving Wei Ying. There was something a little like awe in his stare, like Wei Ying was the only one in the world to him at that moment, and if Huan hadn’t already known that his little brother cared deeply for Wei Ying then that look would have been all the confirmation he needed.

(If A-Zhan knew what marriage and romance was beyond the vague explanations he’d heard then he’d probably already be courting Wei Ying, with all the dogged determination he shows everything he puts his mind to. It’s adorable, and Huan supports it wholeheartedly, no matter what direction it heads in the end).

Or: an AU Wei Wuxian is taken in by the Lan clan instead of the Jiangs.

soft-hearted by sarahyyy

G, 6k, wangxian [my post here]

Summary: Lan Zhan finds himself returning the smile. “Go home,” he urges gently, because it’s cold, and Wei Ying does not look like he’s dressed warmly enough to be out in the streets like this.

Wei Ying’s smile dims. “A-Ying sleeps here when it’s cold,” he tells Lan Zhan. “When it’s summer, A-Ying likes to stay by the pond!”

Lan Zhan frowns, looking at the alley around them. His stomach churns at the thought of leaving Wei Ying there. “Has Wei Ying eaten?”

(Or, the one where Wei Wuxian grows up in the Lan Sect.)

Summary: Alternate Universe - Jiang Fengmian never adopts Wei Ying.

Lan Zhan and Wei Ying grow up together as best friends. Nothing has really changed, but everything is different.

Summary: What would happen if Wei Wuxian had never been found by Jiang fengmian and had been raised in the Cloud Recesses instead?

The Light That Fails to Dim by glowingreverie

T, 310k, wangxian

[I haven’t read this one yet, but it ‘s on my list!]

Summary: Wei Ying lost his parents in a night hunt. Cold and alone, he wandered the streets of Yiling for nearly two years. However, one fateful night, a tall, scary man finds him and takes him back to a place he calls Qinghe. Later Wei Ying, now known as Wei Wuxian, discovers that that tall, scary man is not bad at all. And his cowardly brother makes an even better friend than he initially thought he would. With a content feeling in his chest every day, Wei Wuxian can only hope these peaceful, happy days with his new family will last until the end of time.

Or, in which Jiang Fengmian is unaware of what happened to Wei Wuxian’s parents and Nie Mingjue takes him in and the story continues from there…

~*~

A Good Placement by madwriter223

T, 12k, wangxian, my post

Summary: What if Madam Yu was the one to find Wei Ying living on the streets? And the last thing she was going to do was the bring him back to Lotus Pier for Jiang Fengmian to fawn over.

❤️shades of grey by cl410

M, 58k, nielan, wangxian, my post

History, Fate & the thread of a goose by Blooddust (Lockel)

[Haven’t read this yet, but I’m subscribed.]

T, 69k, wangxian, WIP

Summary: Fate pulls one of his threads…

Wei Ying is not adopted by the Jiang. Strangers become family, some ties strengthen, others loosen, others change… and it all starts with a goose (because somehow geese always make stories better).

UPDATE: This story will cover the full novel time span (like 30 years or so) and have at least 4 arcs: childhood (which canon didn’t cover much), canon events part 1, the black hole of those 13/16 years (essentially original), canon events part 2. The events of canon will come to pass but play differently and there will be parts that are completely new. The main characters are and will remain the ones you hopefully expect to see.

“You want everyone to be happy, right A-Ying?” his mom would ask him when he didn’t want to let them go. Wei Ying thought that everyone being happy was nice, he liked being happy so other people must like it too. He would nod and his mom would give him a big beautiful smile. “You need to be brave and sleep little man and we will be back to wake you up in the morning”. His dad would tell him. “If you don’t sleep, you will be too tired to smile all day tomorrow and if you don’t smile how can we be happy?”. So Wei Ying would sleep.

no rating, 10k, WIP

Summary: Nie Mingjue leaves his first Discussion Conference as a Sect Leader early, desperately needing to find some fresh air and possibly something to hit. Instead he finds a small, dirty child that reminds him of his brother, cowering away from some dogs -

Maybe he should take him home.

~~ OTHER/ROGUE CULTIVATOR ~~

❤️ asymptotic by chinxe

T, 27k, Wangxian [my post here]

Summary: The members of the Lan Clan have never been particularly well-known for their good judgement when it comes to matters of the heart.

Which is why it should come as a surprise to no one when Lan Wangji falls in love with an actual ghost.

~*~

❤️ A Street Kid Named Wuxian by NaoNazo

G, 9k, wangxian, WIP [my post here]

Summary: “Pffffff- ahahahAHAHA!” The kid curled up, resting one hand on his stomach while he used the other to smack at Lan Wangji’s shoulders. “That was close!” he giggled.

Lan Wangji was starting to think he’d been saved by a madman.

“… Thank you.” He bowed as best he could while seated and prepared to make his way down.

“Wait wait wait!” The kid grabbed at his sleeve before he could shift away. “If you go down like that, you’re just gonna get caught, y’know!”

Lan Wangji looked down at himself and back at the kid, raising an eyebrow.

The kid propped himself up on his elbows and gave him a blatant once-over, obviously holding back laughter. “You’re wearin’ all white, genius. Even if you scuff it up a bit and take off the girly ribbon–” Lan Wangji scowled reflexively– “no one around here wears stuff that nice.”

Lan Wangji had to admit he had a point.

We met again but in a different time by akumanomiyu

E, 36k, wangxian, WIP [my post here]

Summary: Jiang FengMian never found Wei WuXian after he lost his parents, so he spent his life on the street, alone.

He didn’t have a clan to protect him and teach him how to become a true cultivator, but he still managed to grow up a strong and righteous man.

People hated him or feared him for the demonic tricks he had to learn to survive. His life wasn’t easy but he lived it as he wanted.

Until one day, a good action made him discover an evil plot against the cultivator world and cross path with the Lan clan…

~*~

Of the Shadows by nockingarrows

G, 35k, wangxian, my bookmark

Summary: Wei Wuxian has been waiting his entire life to turn sixteen and be assigned a shadow creature that will depict how powerful his soul has been deemed. He’s expecting maybe a rabbit or a deer, and dreads the possibility of getting a dog.

Instead, he gets a white-scaled, golden-eyed dragon.

[OR: wwx and lwj are still soulmates, but as a human and a dragon, respectively]

~*~

In Another Life by SingingInTheRaiin

M, 21k, wangxian, my post

Summary: The night Wei Wuxian ran from Lotus Pier out of fear of the dogs being called on him, the Jiang siblings were unable to find him because he was rescued by somebody else first. Without a clan to betray and a family to sacrifice everything for, where does that leave Wei Wuxian?

~*~

love, in fire and blood by cicer (E, 360k, wangxian, my bookmark)

Summary: “You want Wen Ruohan dead,” the Patriarch continued idly. “You want his corpse puppets eliminated. You want his halls burned to the ground and his soldiers disemboweled and begging for mercy. Have I about covered it?”

He gave another knife-edged smile.

“But what will you give me in return?”

“We would be willing to offer quite a bit in return for Wen Ruohan’s defeat,” Lan Xichen admitted. “But I’m afraid we don’t know what an immortal such as yourself desires. Please advise us.”

The Patriarch waved at hand at the front of the tent. “I want Second Young Master Lan.”

(In which the Sunshot Campaign ends through an arranged marriage to the Yiling Patriarch, and Lan Wangji suffers the mortifying ordeal of falling in love with his own husband.)

~*~

❤️ spider lilies to sunflowers by cicer (E, 33k, wangxian, my bookmark)

Summary: “Ah! I know!” Wei Ying pointed at the pretty young master. “If I agree to help you in the fight against Wen Ruohan, then you have to give me your firstborn child.”

The young man’s eyes grew wide. For a moment, he seemed wholly taken aback. Then his expression hardened and he nodded.

“I cannot create life by myself. If the Yiling Patriarch wishes to claim my child, he must first help me conceive.”

(In which the “terrifying” Yiling Patriarch strikes a bargain, and winds up in over his head.)

~*~

Become Tomorrow by ShanaStoryteller (not rated, 8k, wangxian, WIP)

Summary: Wei Wuxian gets caught sneaking into Cloud Recesses.

But since he can’t tell the truth - that he’s just here to deliver his teacher’s most recent love letter to her soulmate who’s stuck in a cave - he tells a lie instead. He says that he’s a Jiang disciple that had arrived late and so had snuck in through the gates. He hadn’t expected the lie to work, sure that it would unravel as soon as they found a Jiang to verify it, but instead Jiang Yanli backs up his story, and even adds to it.

Which is how he ends up masquerading as the first disciple of Lotus Pier while trying to figure out how to get out of Cloud Recesses without anyone discovering that he’s the disciple of Baoshan Sanren.

~*~

Frost moon’s sun by RenaFair (T 116k, songxiao, wangxian)

Alternately; Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan adopted Wei Ying after his parents’ death.

The Vermillion Ribbon by Unforth

E, 233k, wangxian, my post

Summary: When Wen Chao and his entourage arrived in Cloud Recesses, Lan Wangji saw that all the things he’d been told about the arrogance of the Wen clan were true. Wen Qing was aloof, Wen Ning was distant, and Wei Wuxian

Disrespectful, cocky, self-centered Wei Wuxian was the worst.
