Friend, imma let you in on a little secret: it’s bc xiao xingchen is dumb as shit. 

I literally can’t think of any othe reason. 

I mean all things considered it’s probably like a weird ‘self sacrificial’, ‘oooh look how noble he is, how selfless’ trope that mxtx was trying to pull there, which is not unique to cql. it’s a rampant stupid trope, sacrificing yourself needlessly for your loved ones and then hide it from them. everyone suffers, no one wins, but Pride and Honour right? 

Fuck that shit. Even the chinese fandom is like: you got two eyes? why not one each? 

Because drama. 

Hi @ladyaulis! Man, I really need to make a tag for that because I have come across a few fics like that. There was one where Wei Ying grew up in the Cloud Recesses... but I haven’t found it yet... HOWever, I found some Nie Sect fics that I can suggest for now until I find some more :) The Light That Fails to Dim by glowingreverie 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...

Little Sister Nie by BethBell Summary: Wei Ying saves Nie Huaisang and finds herself somehow a member of the Nie Sect. Or how Nie Mingjue gains a little sister and the headache his two scheming "siblings" get into. Oh and XiChen is along for the hilarity of it all watching LanZhan despair after Wei Ying with hearts in his eyes while Nie Mingjue actively pushes him away from his precious little one. Because Wei Ying is precious.

Aigoo... I feel super dense. But I found some more fics:

Some call it kidnapping. The Lan Clan call it adoption. by IceBreeze 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. 

Thank you!!! Sorry, this isn’t ringing any bells for me.

Can someone else help with this fic?

Thanks to everyone that helped find this fic!!!

"What are you doing?", asked the Sheriff incredulously, leaning on Stiles’ opened door.

"I’m researching for a book", Stiles answered not looking up from where he was scribbling into a notebook.

Oh thank you, and I’m so glad you loved that fic - it has a special place in my heart. (Having said that, of course, basically all my fics do.)

The poor thing has been backburned but not abandoned. I’m actually not sure if I transferred everything from LJ over to AO3 regarding the fic, so I need to investigate that. lol

I’m thinking Stetopher, Biker/Nerd/Jock trifecta?

1. Stiles is the nerd, Peter is the basketball jock, and Chris is the rebel biker who dropped out of school and got his GED instead

2. Chris and Stiles meet when Stiles’ brings the Jeep to the mechanic that Chris works for. He takes one look at the guts of the car and is about to say “junk it,” when he looks up into those big brown eyes. Stiles is already anticipating what Chris is going to say, and he looks heartbroken over it. And somehow, without the permission of his brain, Christopher’s mouth instead says “This is gonna take a couple weeks. You got a ride?”

3. Stiles does, indeed, have a ride, in the form of his smirking next door neighbor. Peter takes him to school in the morning and brings him home after basketball practice/chess club. They swing by the garage a few days after Stiles dropped off the Jeep to check on his baby, and Peter gets to meet Chris too. 

4. Chris can see the confident (almost smug) initial interest when Peter looks him up and down at their handshake. But not two minutes later Chris writes him off when he sees the soft way Peter looks at Stiles as he trails after him, catching him every time he trips over tools. Stiles has also apparently read six books about car repair in the last few days and has a shit load of questions. Chris answers them patiently, explaining everything and smiling at how excited Stiles gets about learning new things, rather than mocking him. By the end of their visit, Chris has earned a few of the soft looks that Peter usually reserves for Stiles. 

5. Peter visits Chris by himself a few more days after that, saying he’s there to settle Stiles’ bill. Chris raises a single eyebrow. 

“Does he know you’re doing this?”

“It’s a surprise.”

“Is it the kind of surprise that’s going to piss him off?”

“... no...”

Chris sighs. “Let’s work out a deal. I’ve mostly been working on this after hours anyway, so let’s call my labor free, and then you can pay for half the parts, alright? I’ll give Stiles the bill for the other half, and that way he doesn’t feel like a charity case.” 

Peter’s mouth drops open. “You can’t just give away what’s gotta be at least 20 hours of work for free!”

“I can do whatever the fuck I want. Now are you paying for your half of the part with a card or by batting your pretty blue eyes?” Chris intended for the second half to sound sarcastic, but something about Peter’s contemplative face makes him think he wasn’t entirely successful. 

6. When the Jeep is finally done, Peter drives him to the garage, Stiles practically glowing with excitement. When he sees the Jeep and starts her up, the engine turning over smoothly and the gears shifting easily, he actually sheds a few tears. 

Peter knows what the Jeep means to Stiles. He looks at Chris with obvious gratitude in his eyes and nods in thanks, throat a little too tight to speak. 

When Stiles hops out of the Jeep he runs over to Chris and plants a kiss on his cheek. 

“Thank you so much!!”

Then he turns to Peter. 

“And I hope you don’t think I’m dumb enough to believe that was actually the entire price of the fix. I’m going to pay you back, but thank you too.” And leans forward to plant another kiss on Peter’s cheek. 

Chris and Peter both stare after him, dazed, as he dances back over to his car and coos at her. 

“Wow.”

“Yeah.”

They glance at each other, cautious for a moment before Peter’s mouth lifts in a little grin. Chris can’t help his returning smile.
