WangXian Week

@wangxianweek day 06: sacrifices, devotion & role reversal au AU where Lan Wangji died protecting Wei Wuxian in the First Siege of the Burial Mounds. In order to communicate with his spirit, wherever it may be, Wei Wuxian plays his Chenqing at the guqin left behind… And the instrument responds back.

Summary: “If someone had told him five years ago that, as a grown adult, he would be back in Gusu, copying scrolls in the Library Pavilion voluntarily,. Wei Wuxian would have laughed his head off. You couldn’t pay me to come back to the Cloud Recesses, Land of Three Thousand Rules, he would have said. Wei Wuxian is very fortunate that this never occurred, as he has always hated eating his words. Because here he is. Copying scrolls. And being paid for it.”

Day 8 - Free day / late submission orz

In which Wei Wuxian is the world’s worst System, Lan Wangji is stuck as his long-suffering Host & absolutely nothing can go wrong as they travel back in time to try for a second chance at happiness.

Another high fantasy AU: Second prince LWJ of the heavenly Crane Tribe x WWX, last heir of the banished, disgraced Crows

“Wei Wuxian, your Hanguang-xianjun is here to see you.”

Wei Wuxian glances up from his tinkering just as Wen Qing enters.

“Lan Zhan? Again?”

“You’re asking me? I would also like to know why he keeps visiting. And why you let him. You’re really not afraid of his motives?”

Wei Wuxian scoffs. “Him? Lan Zhan? Up to something? It’d be fun to see him try something on my territory. Anyway, he hasn’t poisoned me yet.”

“And you’re the only one reckless enough to eat whatever he brings.”

“It’s Emperor’s Smile! How could I let it go to waste? We’re not lacking for anything here in these Yiling mountains except good alcohol.”

Arms crossed, Wen Qing stares him down with clear disapproval. “How many times do I need to tell you? Your wounds are not healed and alcohol will slow it down!”

“It’s nothing to worry about!” Wei Wuxian leaps up and dashes for the door before his Qing-jie can turn him into a pincushion. “I better go see Lan Zhan! Can’t keep the Er-dianxia waiting too long!”

xianjun = heavenly-jun, heavenly respectable gentleman (?)

er-dianxia = second prince/highness

In this AU, LWJ is younger! I wanted to try writing that for once. (Though WWX might still call him er-gege just to tease him.) And given how long the notes are already, I might actually write this.

Title: a home through fire and storm Author: lareine Rating: T Warnings: None Summary:

“A captain’s goal was simple: Find a crew. Find a job. Keep flying.”

Six years after the failure of the Sunshot Campaign, Wei Ying is captain of Suibian, a Firefly-class spaceship. Due to a job falling through, he’s forced to take on three passengers, all of whom have brought secrets on board.

A Firefly au.

                                After the world ended (Heart to Heart)

Author: LilyMaxwell Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: None Summary:

“Who are you?” The man asks from his throne atop the rooftop. The shadows that grow under the man’s feet are not an illusion, but a certainty captured by focused eyes.

“I am Lan Zhan, courtesy name Wangji,” he responds. He doesn’t project his voice the way the man had, but in the silence, he’s heard just the same. “My brother hid me in the Cloud Recesses for three years. It has been three years since he died in 2117.”

Lan Huan didn’t leave him any notes, just a code. A code that sent him to the ancient past, with nothing but the artificial heart he made him, and the knowledge that even this barren wasteland would eventually bloom again, until the tragedy that destroyed his future happened.

One thousand, two hundred and seventy eight days after his brother’s death, he meets the demonic cultivator, Wei Wuxian.

(For Wangxian Week Day 4, Futuristic AU)

WangXian Week - Day 8: Free Day

Title: find me here amidst the chaos Author: serpentinerose Rating: T Warnings: Major Character Death (canon) Summary: It is difficult to remain rational in the face of love lost, Lan Wangji of all people know this. One half of the Stygian Tiger Seal may have been lost in the Siege of the Burial Mounds, but there are darker, older magic in the world, and if he has to, Lan Wangji will claw his way to Hell to bring the one he lost back to the Cloud Recesses.

Inspired by the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, retold in novel-compliant timeline, viewed through the lens of Chinese folk mythology. Written for Day 5: Mythology of Wangxian Week 2020.

I initially told myself I would not do wangxian week because I actually have a lot of work to do and I’m falling behind. So naturally, I just reworked my schedule so that I could do wangxian week AND all my work. I hope you enjoy!

day 1: running on the roof of the world

Wei Wuxian has figured out time travel. And he went back in time. One problem… he’s unsure of how to go forward. With a younger version of himself chasing him for answers, and a younger Lan Wangji very close to figuring out who he is, Wei Wuxian needs to figure out how to get back before things escalate.

day 2: skip a beat

The golden eyes of the man were focused on the instrument, his perfect skin practically glowing in the moonlight, his long hair swaying in the midnight breeze. Wei Wuxian drew in a breath. Lan Wangji, the second prince Lan, was up on the rooftop at midnight, playing his Guqin. Wei Wuxian was immediately mystified by the beauty of the man on the roof.

And in his chest, though he tried to deny the warm and sudden feeling, Wei Wuxian’s heart skipped a beat.

day 3: careless attachment

Wei Ying, his brain said as the man with the blue scrunchie started walking out the store. Wei Ying. His Wei Ying. Lan Zhan quickly jumped the very low door separating his workspace and the café area, much to the protest of the lady who was waiting at the counter. But Lan Zhan didn’t care. Because this man was Wei Ying. His Wei Ying.

day 4: wreckage breaks the peace, but sews us together

“Huanguang-Jun, he got hurt in the arena, they won’t give us medical coverage because Master Wei has a criminal record, Jie-Jie is busy working her shift at the public medic bay, I’m sorry, I didn’t know where else to go-”

“Shut up,” Lan Wangji spat, moving the curtain aside and stepping into his small living quarters. Blood was dripping off of Wei Wuxian now, onto Lan Wangji’s hands, onto the floor, onto Lan Wangji’s clothes. Shit. “Shut up, shut up shut up.”

day 5: one man short of paradise

“And… we’ve come to ask you, seeing as your husband is dead, permission to court you?”

Lan Wangji’s mind went blank for a second, his false pleasantness and miniscule respect towards this man snapping in two, then shattering into small shards, never to be recovered again. Lan Wangji’s eyes widened at the man’s still smiling face, clenching his hands tight, feeling the hilt of his sword shift under the pressure of his fingers. Lan Wangji didn’t even try to hold back.

“HOW DARE YOU-!”

day 6: losing my balance

Lan Wangji died at Qiongqi pass, pierced by a thousand arrows, each one meant for Wei Wuxian. And Wei Wuxian doesn’t know what to do. Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian doesn’t know what to do.
