💠💙The past before your eyes

By:Bastet_Fanwork

Summary:

Lan Zhan couldn't speak. Was he still breathing? He wasn't sure. He didn't know if he could see or hear because his entire being had become his beating heart in front of the boy who had just entered the room.

Wei Ying was... young. By the gods, he looked so young. His hair was styled in the ponytail he had stopped wearing along with his sword, as if loose hair could help him hide from the hostility and fear of others. His eyes were bright and happy. His lips were curved into the smile that had captured Lan Zhan's heart from the very beginning.

The Wei Ying in front of him was just a boy, not yet tainted by war's harshness and people's cruelty.

A Wild Wangji has appeared in Cloud Recesses and he will bite anyone who isn't wei ying 😌😌

Long ago, Wei Ying became the beginning and end of his world. Wei Ying was his own life.

~~

with red cheeks, bright eyes, and a wild expression, Wei Wuxian laughed again. In Xichen's perceptive eyes, this took his brother's breath away.

~~

Lan Zhan had never believed that he could love someone with such absolute fervour and devotion

~~

he and Wei Ying were destined to be together. If the world had said otherwise, he would have turned it upside down to prove it wrong; if anyone had dared to suggest that Wei Ying was not worthy of him, Lan Zhan would have replied that he was the greatest blessing the gods had ever given him. In fact, it was Lan Zhan who was unworthy of him.

~~

He wanted to scream. He wanted to rage. He wanted to ask what his mother had ever done and what Wei Ying was doing to deserve the Lan family's contempt.

Summary

“Lan-er-gegeee?” he sweetly singsonged.

Lan Wangji, like he had been doing the entire afternoon, immediately looked at him upon being called. His eyebrows raised minimally as he took in Wei Wuxian’s appearance.

“How about this? Am I still nice to look at, Er-Gege? Do I look cute?” Wei Wuxian asked, sugary and nasally, as he twirled the end of one pigtail around his finger and batted his eyelashes.

The other didn’t miss a beat.

“Mn. Very cute,” Lan Wangji confirmed, not seeming flustered at all.

Wei Wuxian was starting to despair.

(Or: Lan Wangji discovers a method to find out if a flirtatious guy is being serious or just playing and decides to test it on Wei Wuxian. The method? Flirting back.)

💠💙Menace, to headache, to…nephew in law?

By:Nyatci

Summary:

Lan Qiren decides to supervise Wei Wuxian’s punishment himself. While doing so they come across a mysterious orb that seems to show them visions of the future.

—————

Alternatively: the fic in which Lan Qiren suffers, sees the future and suffers some more. He also gets drunk. Shenanigans ensue.

Menace to headache to…nephew in law?

‘Wangji !’ He thinks in despair, ‘I’ve seen visual representation of the depravity of your thoughts and what those red ears mean! Go copy virtue a thousand times!’ But he remains quiet. After all, any mention about what they had witnessed would make people think them mad.

~~

Lan Wangji’s gaze lingers on Wei Wuxian longer than is proper and the Yungmeng Jiang head disciple flushes again! Right in front of Lan Qiren!

~~

He almost sputters at those words! “Boy what on earth are you saying now?” He asks for Wei Wuxian to answer with a shrug. “I don’t want to be a mistake for him to make” the boy says softly and Lan Qiren wants to strangle somebody. Maybe he can get Xichen to copy Conduct as Wangji copies Virtue. Yes, that seems reasonable to him in order to avoid future disasters.

Summary

"Lan-xiong,” Nie Huaisang says one afternoon, while Lan Wangji is trying to meditate in the courtyard behind the Yashi. “There’s something you ought to know before the guest disciples get here.”

“What is it?”

“It’s about Yunmeng Jiang."

“What about Yunmeng Jiang?" Lan Wangji asks. "Have Jiang-zongzhu’s daughter and her shidimei decided not to come?”

Nie Huaisang waves his fan in dismissal. “Oh, nothing so serious as that. It’s only—well, have you heard of Wei Wuxian?”

Wei Wuxian—the calamitous beauty of the Jiang sect, famous for breaking hearts and turning heads—is about to begin his guest discipleship at the Cloud Recesses. Lan Wangji is tasked with making sure that the famed Lan Clan restraint holds true to its reputation.

💙Hanguang-Jun and His Beloved Pet Rabbit

By:96qutie

Summary:

A gentle touch stroked his back, and Wei Ying stiffened in surprise. He looked up to find pale-gold eyes staring down at him intensely.

He gulped.

“Are you hurt?” The young cultivator asked in a soft voice, as if he expected an answer— even though he was already prodding Wei Ying’s ears and legs to see for himself. When he didn’t find evidence of injury he seemed to relax. “Are you frightened?”

If Wei Ying were human, he would have blushed and tried to crack a joke to hide it. As a rabbit, he could only kick his feet like a shy toddler.

“Wangji? I heard a commotion. Is everything alright?”

With the swiftness of a child being caught up past their bedtime, Wei Ying was shoved inside a billowing sleeve.

“Mn.”

It wasn’t that this reaction was entirely new. He had been unwillingly fixated on Wei Wuxian since the moment he’d laid eyes on him. He’d been dreaming about him before they even met— or at least that’s what it felt like. It had to be him. He thought for the dozenth time since they met. It’s impossible to mistake Wei Ying’s presence for anyone else’s. It would be like mistaking a fire for the sun.

~~

“Lan Zhan!” His voice was almost musical with delight. “You’re here!” The youth in question froze. Wei Ying had always been a cheerful person, but this was different. Wangji thought he might physically start glowing at any minute from how brightly he was beaming.

~~

Wei Ying laughed, bright as silver bells. “Ah, but we’re so close, aren’t we? Why speak with such formality?” Lan Zhan could feel the flush in his ears and wanted to curse his own body. “Since when are we close?” A hush fell over the room at his words, and just like that… the blinding light faded from Wei Ying’s eyes. “Oh, uh...” He smiled, but it was a much weaker thing. Barely there. “Right. Sorry, Lan Er-Laoshi.” He turned around and walked back to his seat. Lan Zhan felt shattered. What did I just do?

Summary:

When Lan Wangji only stared in response, Wei Wuxian looked away and played with his hands on his lap. For some reason, his disapproving eyes were making him feel very small and he didn’t like it.

“It looked crooked, so I wanted to fix it for you”, he bullshitted through his teeth, incapable of raising his eyes to meet the alpha. He drew a circle on the wooden floor with his index finger instead. “I just wanted you to look at me.”

“Very well,” Lan Wangji said flatly, and Wei Wuxian’s eyes snapped up at him. He was standing up, bringing the omega with him by the arm. “As you wish.”

Or: Wei Wuxian wanted Lan Wangji's attention, so Lan Wangji gave it to him.

💙but I figured it out, then made my way back

By:MichelleFeather

Summary:

It was an extreme, a desperate decision fueled by anger towards the entire cultivation world, a grief deeper than the deepest trenches in the ocean. The realization that Lan Wangji would now have to continue on living a second time without his beloved, where Wei Wuxian had died once again. Where, once more, his love had been taken from him by cruel, unrighteous men who thought they knew better, that they were doing the world a justice.

Lan Qiren had seen the state that his nephew had been in after Wei Wuxian’s first death, what Lan Wangji had done in his grief then, and he feared what Lan Wangji would do to himself if he was left alone with this repeated grief.

“Regardless, Wei Ying is Wei Ying, and I will always support any decision you two make. If this is your A-Ying, we will just have to expedite our plans, get him out of the hands of the Jiangs and back where he belongs - in yours.” Lan Wangji finally let out the sob he had been holding.

~

“Did you know you would come back with us?” Wei Ying let out a small laugh. “I was there when you activated the array. You didn’t really think I would let death take me away from Lan Zhan a second time, did you?”

~~

Zidian unfurled and was darting towards Wei Wuxian - only to be caught by Lan Wangji. He pulled the whip taut, seemingly unaffected by Zidian’s energy, by Yu Ziyuan’s attempts to pull the whip back towards herself. Lan Wangji flooded Zidian with his spiritual energy, the purple whip momentarily turning blue before Madam Yu slumped to the floor, her eyes wide as she stared in shock at the Lan. Her hands shook as she looked down at the ring on her finger, eyes widening as it no longer responded to her calls. The once purple hue of her ring, now a cerulean blue. No longer under her command. Yu Ziyuan swallowed, nodding as she arranged herself to sit properly in her seat. She wasn’t stupid. She knew when she was faced with a strong opponent. Yu Ziyuan knew that she wouldn’t last a moment against Lan Wangji, for reasons she didn’t quite understand, but she wouldn’t dare further challenge someone able to so easily take control of Zidian, of changing the very color of the heirloom, the very foundation of its spiritual energy’s focus.

~~so badass of Lan Zhan 👏👏👏👏

“I have seen more men to death than you can imagine. However, I will not be the one to end you, I will leave that up to your incompetency, your inability to control your wife, and lead your sect. There will come a day, Jiang Fengmian, that the Jiang Clan will fall.” Wei Ying held onto the Clan Leader’s neck before throwing him to the ground. “And I will celebrate that day as it will have been many lifetimes worth of karma finally seeking justice.”
