Resent & Blossom

Part 1 The Shadow | Part 2 The Cliff | Part 3 Unseen | Epilogue The Flower

Fandom: The Untamed | Mo Dao Zu Shi Pairing: Nie Mingjue/Wei Wuxian (main), Jiang Yanli/Jin Zixuan (only mentioned), Lan Wangji & Wei Wuxian (not endgame) Rating: Teen Genre: Romance, Arranged Marriage, Canon Divergence

Summary:

Cleansing as played by Jin Guangyao is not helping Nie Mingjue any. If anything, his condition is worse than before. However, Wei Wuxian will be thrice damned if he'll let the man who saved his family die – even if their marriage was purely political in nature. If it means he has to learn to play the difficult score himself and enlist the help of the one he's been secretly pining over all this time, then so be it. He's really been through tougher shit and survived. For the most part.

This was originally a commission by @robininthelabyrinth, which as it turns out I failed since my head spun it into a direction that wasn't something they enjoyed. Still, I hope people like it. It was originally posted on my main blog, but has since been moved here.

It was supposed to be much shorter, but it had so much potential that before I realized what I was doing it was another 10k monster, and then robin's birthday came (this was before I knew I failed), so here we are.

The original request was: "if you feel like it, I'd be happy to see more WWX/NMJ (no sad endings or breaking the ship, adding other characters is OK) canonverse preferred."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

@robininthelabyrinth: I hope you like it! I know you like threesomes, but the thing with me is that while I have nothing against healthy polyamory, I tend to take the more tragic route. I feel like forcing my characters to choose makes for a more storytelling potential. In this case it even allowed more room for worldbuilding, in regards to the marital traditions of different sects, so I hope that's a good enough compensation. It was fun to write. Part two is almost done, I hope I can finish this before Christmas lol.
