Any good recommendations for either jc bashing or canon jc characteristic fanfics. Been trying to find some but went through the labeled stash on ao3. Been trying to find some that aren't labeled but it is really hard to find and mostly have fanon jc. Half of my soul by Asphodel_Meadow is pretty good and is a good example.
Sure, I'll provide you with some.
If They Began Dating At 15 (Translation)by Rurella (Rated T)
Author’s Summary: What if Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji got together when they were 15?
Mark me with your devotion by Xiao_Hua (Rated M)
Author’s Summary: People attain marks of colour on their skin from those who love them.
Wei WuXian has no discolouration on his body at all.
Switched by Xiao_Hua (Rated M) Or the one where Wei WuXian and Lan WangJi swap bodies with Xie Lian and Hua Cheng. Jiang Cheng is annoyed, Lan XiChen becomes worried, Nie HuaiSang remains greatly amused whilst Hua Cheng ships it.
Don’t worry, we’ll fix this by Xiao_Hua (Rated T) Or one where baby A-Yuan is sent back by Wei WuXian to fix things up with nothing but a manuscript artfully constructed by the YiLing Laozu.
For the Greater Good by Xiao_Hua (rated M) JC is very homophobic and bigoted in this fic , and WWX does not put up with his attitude.
Did I Not Explain Why the Sunset Turns Red? by 3988Akasha it's my favorite time travel fix it fic and it has canon jc characteristics.
A Good Sword by Haoppopotamus (Rated G) Wei Wuxian is forming a golden core in Mo Xuanyu’s body but realized that his sword is with Jiang Cheng in Yunmeng.(JC is his usual shitty self).
Jealousy by Marinelifeclub (Rated G)
Author’s Summary: Jiang Yanli compares her life to Wei Wuxian’s and feels bitterness settle in her chest. a fic where wwx doesn’t give JC his core.
and i I strongly suggest Vrishchika's fics they are so amazing.
Not This Time by Marinelifeclub (Rated T) Jiang Cheng, Nie Huaisang and Lan Wangji decide to team up to go back in time to protect the people they love.
ok dear anon, those all what comes to mind,as you mentioned it hard to find fics where their are canon jc characteristic. Many people choose to portray him as a the misunderstood sibling rather than the monster and the abuser that he is.
