Hello! As a prompt, can I ask for an AU where WWX says "fuck it", gives the seal to the Jins, and disappears from the cultivation world with the Wens. At first ppl are happy, then they realize letting Jin Guangshan having the seal was a huge ass mistake, and now they have to find WWX, swallow their pride and ask for help.
Untamed verse
āIn retrospect, Wei Wuxian shouldnāt have given Jin Guangshan the Yin Tiger Seal.ā
āWhat choice did he have? Jin Guangshan had him over a barrel, especially with what he did in defense of the Wen sectā¦ā
āAt least he only abused his power to defend people, rather than āā
āShh! Donāt say it specifically. He might hear.ā
Lan Wangji continued walking, his head held high, and didnāt allow any sign of his displeasure to rise to the surface. It was all well and good for the various small cultivators to regret it now that Wei Wuxian was gone, but werenāt they among those who spoke against Wei Wuxian when he was still here? It was partly their disdain and revulsion that cause Wei Wuxian to give up, to give up the seal, to retreat from the world without leaving the slightest trace behind beyond the empty dwellings of the Burial Moundā¦
It had been a few years now.
At first, the cultivation world had celebrated Wei Wuxianās disappearance; in fact, the only thing they regretted was that he hadnāt been killed outright. The right way for the end of such a tragedy, they said, was a grandiose battle that would live up to the rest of his legend ā but Lan Wangji knew that their real motive was so that they could say to all who listened that they participated in taking him down.
And Jin Guangshan ā with the power of the Yin Tiger Seal in his hand ā had become Chief Cultivator, showering everyone with the Jin sectās riches. The Nie sect had protested, but wasnāt interested in starting another war, and all the junior sects were inclined to support it.
It hadnāt been long before that had spoiled.
Jin Guangshan had always enjoyed having things go his own way, after all ā and heād never been good at restraining himself, especially when it came to women. At first it was limited to those who didnāt have the ability to protest, but after the first one didā¦
The Yin Tiger Seal gave him too much power. Who could resist him?
The first time Jin Guangshan wiped out a clan, heād come up with an excuse for it. But when he got away with that, it seemed to go to his head, and he stopped even pretending after that. Female cultivators fled Lanling in droves, whether they could afford to do so or not, and the sects who tried to make trouble faced disaster.
The junior sects turned to the three Great Sects, but they had their own troubles. Jiang Chengās sister had disappeared, her son with her, and Jiang Cheng was certain that Jin Guangshan was behind it, though Lan Wangji personally suspected that Wei Wuxian might have had something to do with it ā assuming he could get news from wherever-he-was, he would never leave his shijie to suffer.
Lan Wangjiās own sectā¦
A frown surfaced on Lan Wangjiās face, just as it always did when he thought about it. Jin Guangshan had seen the noises the Nie sect and the Lan sect were making about him; heād sacrificed a pawn to trip them up, and very successfully, too.
The former Jin Guangyao ā Jin Guangshan had cast him out of Lanling and told both his sworn brothers about the various things heād done. Obviously, everyone knew that heād undoubtedly done it at Jin Guangshanās instigation, but heād still done themā¦and he was the only one clever enough to think of using the Song of Clarity, Lan Xichenās gift, as a method to poison Nie Mingjue through his familyās hereditary weakness.
The revelation had very nearly destroyed Lan Xichen, and Nie Mingjue wasnāt much better. The former had largely withdrawn into seclusion, while the latter had temporarily removed himself from his role as sect leader in order to try to heal the damage. Nie Huaisang had temporarily assumed the position, nearly red-eyed with rage that reminded everyone that his share of the family inheritance was merely latent rather than absent ā Lan Wangji worked closely with Nie Huaisang these days, managing the resistance against Jin Guangshan.
They got along well. Lan Wangji had his own rage to work through, too ā for Lan Xichen, of course, but not just that.
For Wei Wuxian, too.
Jiang Cheng was the third member of their group. They werenāt as easy with each other, as Lan Wangji couldnāt quite let off his suspicion that he knew where Wei Wuxian was and just wasnāt telling.
Lan Wangji couldnāt blame him if that were the case, and yetā¦
Their efforts had borne some fruit, creating a division in the cultivation world between them ā they werenāt powerful enough to attack Lanling, but Jin Guangshan was too lazy to do much more than rule his own territory and occasionally lash out at people who disagreed with him, even from a distance. Even with the Yin Tiger Seal, he didnāt have the heart of a conqueror, and that was the only thing keeping them all safe.
It wouldnāt last, though. He lashed out more and more, his temperament affected by the resentful energy, his psyche cracking ā one day, heād attack, and theyād lose hundreds of lives trying to stop him.
At least, they would if they couldnāt find someone to beat Jin Guangshan at his own game.
They needed Wei Wuxian.
Lan Wangji needed Wei Wuxian.
He was on his way to the Lotus Pier once more to beg Jiang Cheng to share what he knew, if he knew it; perhaps this time, he would be successful.
Perhaps this time, heād be able to show Wei Wuxian that heād stand by his side, rather than in his way

Life is Like a Stranger
by through_shadows_falling
G, 30k, wangxian, WIPĀ
Summary:Ā Ā The marketplace was too loud, too much, and Lan Zhan couldnāt 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)
My comments:Ā Ā omg, THEYāRE SUCH TINY WIDDLE CUTIES aaaarrrrggghhhh!
Lan Zhan is autistic-coded, which means heās easily (and wildly) overstimulated and often utterly tongue-tied. Heās got a twitch in his hands that he canāt control when heās too stressed (which leads to some bullying). Wei Ying is a beam of sunshine, of course, and he and Lan Zhan are inseparable from the get-go (although his carefree ways cause baby lz soooo much stress).
different first meeting, wei wuxian is adopted into the Lan Clan, canon divergence, pre-canon, cute kids, kid fic, orphan wei wuxian, homeless wei wuxian, child wei wuxian, child lan wangji, autism spectrum, autistic coded character, fix-it, emotional hurt/comfort, POV lan wangji, growing up together, wei wuxian raised at cloud recesses, fluff, angst, protective lan wangji, possessive lan wangji, jealous lan wangji, sharing a room, friendship, feels, hurt/comfort, cuddling, protective wei wuxian, abandonment issues, cynophobia, bullying, lan zhan has twitching fingers, itās an uncontrollable thing when heās stressed, and bullies make fun of him for it, adopted by Lans, growing up in Gusu, @through-shadows-fallingā
(You may wish to REBLOG as a signal boost for this author if you like ā or think others might like ā this story.)

The Untamed, episode 42 - watching notes
I was up playing partygames over discord until 3 am yesterday, so I didn't get to watch another episode. I complained about it to my friends, which in turn made them complain that I sounded like I would rather watch my "gay chinese fantasy show" than spent time with them. I contemplated saying yes, but decided to keep my friend instead :D
And we were currently in the middle of a confrontation with Jiggy (as I've been informed he's called ... what? ^^) who apparently murdered his son to keep some secret, which with how this shows is going, I wouldn't be surprised is them going full game of thrones and ... you know what I'm talking about
Oh right, Su She is there
He's the Jin Zixun to my wei Wuxian. As in, I can never remember his name or why I should care š¤·āāļø
(But thus time I DO remember who he is. That is, after lwj said his name ^^)
I'm so sure that jgy hit all evidence by now, btw
Okay, no. his wife is still there
Su She might be an asshole but his hair piece is gorgeous :D
What does it say about me that my first thought about that dagger was COOL!!! š±š±š±
How dare you take Wen Qing's name in vain! š¤¬
š±
I thought she'd stab him!!! Not herself :'(
I'm a bit surprised that with 5 cultivators in the room, no one does more to save her
Oh, JGY is a damn good actor!! I mean we knew that before, but now his apparent confusion and grieve for his wife seems even more (dare I quote lwj?) shameless
Lan Xichen, i know you love him but ...
Fun fact: In German, we call fake tears "KrokodilstrƤnen". Literal translation: "crocodile tears"
That's what this is š
Especially about the nie Mingjue
Poor Nie Huaisang ššš
"Taking the head. Who in the world would have done such an insane act?" GEE, I WONDER ...
Sorry, I still find jgy fascinating, but this is so uncomfortable to watch, knowing at least part of what really happened š
Lord, give me the power to murder people with one gaze like Lan Wangji š
This whole conversation is so supremely uncomfortable
I'm still unsure if Jin Guangyao really doesn't suspect that "Mo Xuanyu" isn't who he says he is or if it's just a very convincing act š¤Ø
Favourite trope: Hanguang Jun, Yiling Laozou's knight in shining armour
First of all: Hot
Second of all: Lwj internally: DON'T YOU DARE FUCKING TOUCH HIM I ONLY JUST GOT HIM BACK AND WE HAVEN'T EVEN MADE OUT YET
probably
Also, for a split second there, you saw Jiang Cheng leap forward with a real look of concern on his face, like his first instinct was to help wwx himself š„ŗš„ŗš„ŗ
HE'S USING SUIBIAN AGAIN!!!
This feels so huge! š±
I'm weirdly emo about a sword rn :')
His cover is blown of course
And him and Jin ling just had a good relationship :(
NHS, JL and JGY: How could it BE that this is Yiling Laozou???
Meanwhile Lan Xichen and Jiang Cheng
"With the right kind of sacrifice, it can safe one who was seriously injured." Is this another instance of "we can't say this it's necromancy because censors, but y'all damn well know this is necromancy because no one falls down a cliff and then lies there "seriously injured" for goddam 16 years"?
I'm all teary eyed at lwj not even hesitating to flee with wwx :')
Jin Ling šš„ŗ
Fuck you Jin Guangyao for playing at his pain!!!
Omg they're as good as holding hands!!! ššš
Of course, wax is pushing lwj away, OF COURSE. Self-sacrificing idiot!
That mask reveal was *chef's kiss* the drama! The gasps! The ... long-suffering "here we go again look" from lan Xichen :D
I LOVE IT WHEN LWJ SPEAKS UP!!
"You're wrong."
So simple. Yet saying so much: "I kniw him. I trust him. I chose this."
And OF COURSE Wei Wuxian gives him another way out
BUT THESE TWO FINALLY GET THEIR SHIT TOGETHER AND COMMUNICATE THEIR THOUGHTS! FINALLY!
"Did you believe in me back then?" YES, I WAS JUST TOO AFRAID TO SAY IT,SO MY CONCERN CAME OUT AS ANGER ššš
And the single logged bridge again ššš I adore that metaphor! And I love that they chose to show us the flashback. Because last time, wwx and lwj parted, took different roads so to speak, one the one of defiance, the other the one of orthodoxy. Neither wanted to part ways, but neither probably thought that they had much of a choice. But they did have a choice and they made it. And lwj has already expressed his regret over that. So here he is again, using his second chance without a thought.
Because lwj believes that wwx is right, MORALLY, so he will go against his clan, reputation be damned, and stand with the man he loves ... finally. He'll choose what they both believe to be right and walk with him "until it's dark" :')
And THAT'S WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS SO MUCH!! It's not just that "oh they're so cute and they compliment each other so well, they must be soulmates uwu". Most of all they share a common morality!!!
I'm so goddamn amazed at this ship! This is not I was thought I was getting when I boarded it, but goddamn it I'm loving the ride! ššš
And .. just, the look in Lan Wangji's eyes ... they have 50 swords drawn on them, but guessing from the look on his face and the softness of his gaze they might as well be at their wedding ššš
He looks like a man entirely at peace with his decision :')
Just ...
Look
At
THEM!!!
They're holding hands in that last shot!!!! ššš
I'm absolutely floored at how utterly beautiful this scene is! "Romantic" seems too insignificant to describe it. It feels more like 42 episodes worth of love and pining and misunderstandings coming to their natural conclusion
My heart is so full right now guys :')
Very nice of these 50 people to wait for their moment to pass before attacking. Very considerate š
"Are we going to fight or not." "Too much talking" I WANT 50 EPISODES OF THESE TWO BICKERING!!! ššš
Jin Ling :'(
Noooo
No
Noooo
I don't know who my heart is bleeding for more here
Jin ling doesn't deserve to have to shoulder his parent's and uncle's pain :'((
All this supporting each other when injured? That's the good stuff
And those flashbacks ... wwx finally FINALLY realizes that lwj never hated him for his actions, he was afraid for him :')
Tbf,the guy has a sliiiight communication issue š
That quote about how lwj is at his side now that everyone else despices him!! That's it THAT'S THE SHIP!!ššš
Oh, lwj took him back to cloud recess
I'm surprised he was allowed to, tbh
Ooh, so Mo Xuanyu knew something!
And... someone else must now know about him?
Also, I didn't realise that wwx still had a cut from the curse
I gotta take a moment to scream about HOW UTTERLY DOMESTIC AND AT EAS THESE TWO NOW ARE WITH EACH OTHER!!! š
XICHEN!!!
I should have known that the OG wangxian shipper would support them
But he still trusts Jin Guangyao. Not that I'm surprised
It's so weird to see anyone on this show in trousers btw š
"You're more than I can handle." Lol ^^
"You trust Master Wei, while I trust Jin Guangyao." Oh boy ...
I feel like this might be more of a confrontation than these two brothers had in their entire lives
Love me some detective-wwx
Poor Xichen š he doesn't want to believe it
Somehow, wwx with a white underrobe makes me think "that's what he looks like when he and lwj accidentally swab robes" :D
Uuuh! The restricted section forbidden chamber!
So ... jin Guangyao somehow got this piece of music from the lan library?
But he's good! He's really good! He consistently uses others weaknesses and prays on them so that they act in a more extreme manner, but not so much that others would suspect foulplay. Case in point: nie Mingjue's death by anger and (more recently) the way he played towards Jin ling's feelings.
Aaaand another rather abrupt end in the middle of a conversation. That's one thing this show does not do well š
Anyway, I'm not complaining this episode send my shipper heart (BECAUSE I'M SO DWEP DOWN THIS RABBIT HOLE AT THIS POINT) fly with joy!!

ā what happened in this comic? ā
When Wei Wuxian was brought back by Mo XuanYu, he never planned on staying. He lived his life and died, his story was done. But he did want to fix all of the issues that he had left behind. He went through the novel and played his part. At the end, he was able to resolve all things that were left unresolved in his death. He finally made up with Jiang Cheng. He finally met his nephew, Jin Ling. He finally understood his soulmate, Lan Wangji.
But there was one last thing that wasnāt resolved.Ā
WWX was incredible thankful to MXY for giving him a second chance to tie up loose ends. MXY, someone who was misunderstood and abused, died partially due to his inventions. And so, WWX decides to give MXY his life back, to give MXY a second chance just as MXY had given him.
(is lwj and co. torn up about this? yes. was that selfish of wwx? maybe. but wwx never did ask others for permission to do what he wanted.)

At sixteen, Izuku got married on a warm spring day to a crowd of seven hundreds and only a handful of familiar faces. His new husband was a boy heād met and played with in the summer of his eighth year, but who now looked upon him with eyes of contempt.
Heād never felt smaller.
Their marriage was arranged by their mothers before even their birth. Lady Mitsuki was the Duchess of Musutafu and his mother the daughter of a shipping merchant, but despite their differing social station they were best friends, sworn sisters.
Now, Izuku and Katsuki reaped the consequence of that promise.
Since young, Izuku was taught under the strict tutelage of his mother and tutors to perform his spousal duties to the best of his ability so that when they meet one day he wouldnāt fail the Bakugouās name, wouldnāt fail Katsuki. And he certainly didnāt want to fail his future husband.
He was already hopelessly charmed. Smitten. Halfway in love at six years old and gone for Bakugou Katsuki ever since.
But theyād only met once when Katsukiās parents had sent him to live in the Midoriyaās estate for the summer in Fukuoka. That summer had stretched out before them in a field of marigolds and by the water of riverbed. Theyād played and laughed with the folly of youth and ignorance of what the future entailed for them. Izuku only knew of the boy before him; a bright, confident, and willful child who made the world bent to his will and not the other way around.
Strong in mind and body, Katsuki was everything to Izuku.
But even before that, Izuku had learned of Katsuki through long-winded letters from Lord Masaru through a series of correspondence that had lasted all the way up to the first time heād stepped foot in Tokyo with his parents and soon after heād became the sixth generation Marchioness of the Bakugou Household.
The boy he had grew to love had now suddenly became a man with a fierce glint in his red eyes and sharp features that cut away at Izukuās malleable heart. Everything heād known of Katsuki had disappeared under scornful glares and his utter repulsion in their arranged marriage.
He was impossibly cold and hostile to Izuku, but he had held on anyway because even if Katsuki didnāt want him, he was sure with enough time and effort Katsuki would grow to accept him, accept their new relationship status.
Except three days later after the wedding, Izuku was sent home packing and wouldnāt see Katsuki again for another five years. It was humiliating. Izuku couldnāt even leave his estate for months because he was afraid of the rumors that
Izuku wouldnāt be call back to Tokyo until Lady Mitsuki had fallen ill and was trapped to her bedside for weeks. And it was there that she had begged her only son and precious heir to give her the grandchild she so desperately wants before she lost her last will to live.
Bakugou Katsuki, who could do so many impossible things and do it extremely well, found himself in a conundrum because even he could not give her a child himself, not when his husband, the one he hadnāt seen in five years, was all the way back in Fukuoka.
Abandoned. Neglected. And waiting.
Izuku came back to Tokyo again upon his husbandās requestāorderābut this time heās not that awkward and shy young man anymore, who fell for an idolized dream. Armed with a lethal smile, a guarded heart, and a sworn promise to bring Bakugou Katsuki down to his very knees, Izuku wonāt forgive or forget. Katsuki may be his husband and Izuku will remain ever faithful and loyal to him, but only after heād prove he deserves Izuku first.

[ktdk] treasure.
The hands pinning his wrists above his head are rough and dry from the lemongrass dishsoap they used after dinner. The lips pressed to his taste sweet from the cake Katsuki insisted was foisted off on him by a colleague, after he gave Izuku the strawberry from his own slice. The body warm against his smells of his sheets. And the heart beating furious and loud in the chest opposite hisāis his.
