Not rated, 8k, Jin Ling
Summary: Mo Xuanyu was not the first demonic cultivator Jin Ling had to rescue from his uncle's hands.
My comments: The author made the super interesting point that Jin Ling was a bit too casual about caring for people his uncle suspected were Wei Wuxian and was about to torture, so this fic explores the years before Wei Wuxian's return and how Jin Ling came to slowly grow into his role as the person who will attempt to free people his uncle mistook for Wei Wuxian, because it happens like every other week and it's a bit embarassing for teenage Jin Ling too, like: urgh, can't believe my uncle is once again shouting about having caught Yiling Laozu. I really enjoyed this story!
Excerpt: “Well your music must suck if they think you are a demonic cultivator after hearing a song.”
“I would argue the opposite. My music was just so good that even the dead enjoy it and why wouldn’t they gather to listen? Music speaks to the soul. All it took was the sound of a dizi and the presence of calmer corpses for that idiot to think I am a demonic cultivator.”
His uncle wasn’t an idiot. He wouldn’t accuse someone of this wouldn’t hurt someone without good reason. He wouldn’t. Lee Xiu didn’t care about his internal turmoil and was tying her hair back with a bit of twine.
“My uncle isn’t stupid he grew up with the Grandmaster of demonic cultivation. If anyone can recognize a demonic cultivator it’s him. You’re lying.”
“Then Jiang Cheng isn’t just stupid he’s crazy too. I mean he thinks I am Wei Wuxian!” She seem to find the accusation ridiculous Jin Ling didn’t.
Wei Wuxian grew up with Jiang Chang, fought with him, fought against him, if anyone could recognize him from a song it would be his uncle. Jin Ling stumbled backward wary. If this really was Wei Wuxian… he would have to be very careful getting his sword back. He would get to kill the man that murdered his parents.
“What are you doing acting so scared? Do you really think I am the Yiling Laozu?” She studied him for a long moment then lifted her long draping red sleeves. Even in the darkness he could clearly see the branching whip marks of Zidian. Blood flowed freely and it was a wonder that Jin Ling’s robes weren’t stained with her blood. She wasn’t Wei Wuxian. Zidian was never wrong.

MDZS AU where Jiang Cheng realizes that Lan Sizhui is the Wen orphan that Wei Wuxian took care off during the Burial Mounds arc, decides that's close enough to qualify him as Nephew, declares that no Nephew of His (much less a surrogate son of Wei Wuxian's) is going to be raised in the Cloud Recedes, and immediately launches into a custody battle with Lan Wangji.
But since neither Jiang Cheng or Lan Wangji can acknowledge that Sizuhi has any connection to Wei Wuxian, both begin steadfastly and stubbornly insisting that he is a Cultivator of peerless potential and skill and he belongs in their sect thank you very much, and would clearly be very unhappy in the other's. This confuses the hell out of the already mystified Cultivation world, who had barely adjusted yet to gossiping about Sizhui being Wangji's illegitimate child by mysterious love affair.
(Eventually the common consensus in the rumor mills is that both JC and LW where in love with Sizhui's mother and both believe themselves to be Sizhui's real father.)
(LW couldn't care less what gossips say, but JC has to bite his tongue till it bleeds to avoid telling anyone the truth in a fit of anger.)
(It was Nie Huaisang who put that rumor out in the first place, partly to troll JC, partly because, in a way, it's a little true.)
