You've shown me the meaning of being lonely

Summary: Jiang Cheng's relationship with grief & loneliness was not new, but it was only much later he realised it went slightly deeper than just that, for you see, walking hand in hand with him was also heartbreak.

Inspired by: Backstreet Boys - Show me the meaning of being lonely

So many words for the broken heart

Jiang Cheng thought he knew grief. There were many occasions for it over the years of his life. From an early age, he’d grieved the loss of Princess, Jasmine, and Little Love. For a lonely little boy, they’d been his dearest companions. But the sting had been removed by the presence of a cheerful little boy, who initially he blamed for the first loss and was jealous of for the second thing he lost: the scraps of attention from his father which he had held onto all these years as a sign that his father did love him; his father after all was a sect leader and of course he was just too busy to indulge his young son. With Wei Wuxian’s arrival, these foolish thoughts were shattered. His father had picked up the boy, held him all day in his arms when he was afraid of the dogs, and his eyes when he looked at him shone with something that had never been directed towards Jiang Cheng.

When Jiang Cheng agreed to share his room with Wei Wuxian, his father had gleefully picked up the boy to celebrate. Wei Wuxian had only been there some days and he’d already been carried around by the sect leader and then picked up in joy. It was harder after that to fool himself into thinking that his father just didn’t know how to show affection and was too busy to hold him the way other fathers would hold their children. His father, it seemed, just didn’t do these things with Jiang Cheng, but he was fully capable of being that way towards someone he did like.

It’s hard to see in a crimson love

Everyone knew that his father didn’t like his mother and everyone said that Jiang Cheng was like his mother. It didn’t take a genius to put two and two together. Within a few days Jiang Fengmian had held the boy he brought back twice (and for a whole day at that!) whereas over the 9 years of his life, Jiang Cheng had been held less than five times, each time enough to make him happy for months afterwards. But Jiang Cheng had been a little boy with emotions that were too big for him, and so that night he had screamed at the usurper who’d been the cause of his only friends being sent away, who had shown Jiang Cheng that his father was in fact capable of affection and who was now supposed to sleep in Jiang Cheng’s room too. Jiang Cheng himself had agreed to it but that was before he realised that his father would hug the boy for it.

This boy was here to replace Jiang Cheng, he was sure of it. His heart stinging, he threw the bedding out of the room and told him to go away.

So hard to breathe

He’d quickly regretted it because he didn’t want to admit it but before seeing the way his father acted to the boy he had been excited to share his room, thinking that maybe even though his dogs were gone he could have a friend. And he felt guilty about throwing the boy out, it was cold outside, so he made to tell the boy to come back in. But he’d not been there and Jiang Cheng ran to his jiejie crying because his father liked this boy and if he found out that he left because Jiang Cheng threw him out then he’d dislike Jiang Cheng even more than he already did. He hadn’t truly meant for Wei Wuxian to really leave after all, he had just been upset. And he knew it wasn’t really Wei Wuxian’s fault that his father didn’t like him, it just hurt because in a few days Wei Wuxian had gotten what he’d been wanting his whole life: his father’s affection.

It was the first heartbreak he’d had, though he was too young to know what it was called. Family of course could break your heart as terribly as any lover.

Walk with me and maybe

But A-Jie had helped him find Wei Wuxian. And Wei Wuxian had said that he would lie to Jiang Cheng’s father so he wouldn’t get into trouble. They’d been inseparable ever since.

Nights of light so soon become

Wild and free I could feel the sun

It hadn’t taken them long to become good friends. Wei Wuxian was as sociable as Jiang Cheng was not. They complemented each other. Wei Wuxian was rather reckless and Jiang Cheng, the responsible sect heir that he was, was the one who was there to clean up the messes he left behind him. But he’d never resented it. Wei Wuxian dragged Jiang Cheng out of his shell. It was thanks to him that he’d become a bit closer to the other disciples. He was always getting into mischief, dragging Jiang Cheng with him.

When Wei Wuxian was there, everything was bright. Jiang Cheng often wondered how he’d lived before him. He was like the sun; everyone was drawn to his warmth. But though he’d played with everyone, at night it was Jiang Cheng alone who had his attention. Sharing the room often led to them trying to spook each other with scary stories, huddling under the blankets of one of their beds and laughing whenever they managed to provoke the other.

Even though his parents still fought and his father still looked past him, he had Wei Wuxian and A-Jie. Everything was okay. His life was not perfect, his heart still feeling the pain of not being good enough, but as long as they were with him he would manage.

Your every wish will be done

Unfortunately his attachment to Wei Wuxian often led to his mother scolding him too, because he let himself get caught up in all Wei Wuxian’s shenanigans. He’d grumble and complain but no matter what Wei Wuxian wanted to do he would follow him. His mother often despaired that he was supposed to be the leader yet whatever Wei Wuxian asked him to do, he would. What kind of leader followed instead? And what leader had a subordinate who wouldn’t listen to him?

They tell me

Show me the meaning of being lonely

Is this the feeling I need to walk with

He’d warned Wei Wuxian, begged him, not to draw attention to himself. To keep his head down. But Wei Wuxian being who he was just had to play the hero. Worse yet, he taunted Wen Chao. He made a fool out of him.

Wen Chao and his lackeys came for revenge. Wen Chao was an arrogant, pompous, spoiled brat. Of course he wouldn’t take it lightly that someone not only dared to defy him, but that they insulted him and made him a laughingstock in the process. It wasn’t simply that the Wens were going around flaunting their power. This was more than that. It was personal. It was personal because Wei Wuxian being Wei Wuxian had to fulfil the need to run his mouth while he was playing the saviour.

Dammit, save who you want to but did you have to hurt Wen Chao’s pride? If it wasn’t for this would they have come to Lotus Pier with a strong vendetta the way they did?

Tell me why I can't be there where you are?

There is something missing in my heart

Lotus Pier had fallen.

It had fallen and they were the only two who escaped. (Thank God A-Jie wasn’t there.)

And it suddenly struck him how alone in the world they now were.

The feeling of loss was quickly followed by anger.

If only Wei Wuxian had listened to him!

He’d let out all the grief and sorrow and rage onto Wei Wuxian.

As Wei Wuxian lay there and let him hurt him, the rush of emotions bled out of him as suddenly as they had come upon him and he was left with a pang of regret which quickly faded into a sense of nothingness.

He felt so many things that he felt nothing.

He was numb. There was a gaping hole in his heart. There was something missing that he would never be able to replace.

Why… why was he still here? He should have been there with them! With his family.

He had wanted to go back for them at the time, though Wei Wuxian had rightfully stopped him. But all he could think of was wanting his parents; like a child he cried for them.

Life goes on as it never ends

He’d done it, finally. He’d managed with the help of Wei Wuxian to kill those responsible for his family’s deaths. At seventeen he’d started fighting in a war, coming out of it Sandu Shengshou. They’d fought and they’d won.

But life had only just begun. And other battles would soon come. A war of words and wiles was still war.

Eyes of stone observe the trends

Wei Wuxian had proven himself to be a powerhouse. All eyes were on him and the Jiang Sect. For there were others who wanted the power he wielded. And barring that? Well they’d destroy him instead so that the Jiangs couldn’t wield this power themselves. Of course Wei Wuxian didn’t make it hard for them since he himself abandoned the Jiang sect to follow his own ideals.

They never say forever gaze, if only

Guilty roads to an endless love (endless love)

Promises of forever made by the youth couldn’t last after all. Who said they would stay by his side? Well…

There’s no control, are you with me now?

He couldn’t control the situation at all. Him trying to justify why Wei Wuxian might have done what he did just got him accused of being unfilial. And Wei Wuxian hadn’t even bothered to speak to him before he broke out Wen Ning’s crew from the Jin’s camps. Why didn’t Wei Wuxian come to him? Why did he have to move on his own and so publicly too? Everyone was whispering about how Sect Leader Jiang couldn’t even control his own right hand man, who he grew up with no less. In one fell swoop Wei Wuxian managed to not only make himself a pariah in their world, but to completely undermine Jiang Cheng’s very fledgling authority while he was at it.

Your every wish will be done

He’d begged Wei Wuxian to give up this foolishness and come back home. But when had Wei Wuxian ever listened to him? And when had he ever not given in to what Wei Wuxian wanted in the end? He’d always followed Wei Wuxian’s lead.

Wei Wuxian wanted to (at least outwardly) leave the Jiang sect. He wanted his actions to be viewed as his own so that he wouldn’t drag the sect down with him. He knew after all what he’d done and what would come of it. Or so he thought at least. He always thought he knew best after all.

They tell me

Show me the meaning of being lonely

Is this the feeling I need to walk with (tell me why)

Tell me why I can't be there where you are?

There’s something missing in my heart (heart!)

But in the end, wasn’t it Jiang Cheng who ended up being right? He’d take being wrong any day over being right when this was the result. His sister lying dead in his arms. Wei Wuxian being hunted down like the dogs he feared. And him having to lead the charge with the odious Jin Guangshan, for who lost more to the Yiling Patriarch than the Jin and Jiang sect after all?

There is nowhere to run

I have no place to go

He didn’t have any choice in the end did he? And of course he was angry. Wei Wuxian always told him he could control himself, and being the fool he was, he trusted him!

But even he didn’t know what he would have done when seeing him at the siege. After all, he'd agreed to lead the charge. His mind was in disarray. He’d needed to do it after all, his sect depended on it. And if a part of him hoped this meant he would reach Wei Wuxian first and manage to claim him as Yunmeng Jiang’s prisoner so he wouldn’t be left to the mercies of the Jins, well that was for him and him alone to know. What he would have done with Wei Wuxian after capturing him even he didn’t know. But even in his anger, he wasn’t sure he would have killed him.

Surrender my heart, body, and soul

However in the end the decision was taken from him, wasn’t it? Wei Wuxian chose self destruction instead. The horror of watching him be torn apart by corpses was seared into his brain. It was an image he would never forget. Wei Wuxian surrendered to the mercies of his own weapon turned back on him. His body torn apart, his soul surely full of resentment. And with him, with the last of his family being destroyed in front of his eyes, Jiang Cheng’s heart was torn into pieces.

How can it be you’re asking me

To feel the things you never show?

(Show-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh!)

What else could he feel? Numb. It was all that was left now. His heartbeat thudding in his ears. The shouts of victory from the others echoing without registering. He moved on autopilot, simply doing what had to be done. Thoughts and feelings were muted. There was nothing. Once more, there was nothing.

You are missing in my heart

Tell me why can't I be there where you are?

Some days, he wished he’d joined Wei Wuxian. Let them both be torn apart together. After all, why should he remain living when there was nobody left? Didn’t Yanli say that the three of them should stay together? So he should join them shouldn’t he? Together in death the way they couldn’t be in life.

Show me the meaning of being lonely (being lonely)

Is this the feeling I need to walk with (tell me why)

He was left all alone to rebuild his family’s legacy. Every second of every day was painful, but the crushing loneliness, the ache inside, was just something he needed to learn to deal with. He carried on and they walked with him like bosom friends.

Tell me why I can't be there where you are? (where you are)

There’s something missing in my heart

(You are missing from my heart)

The only thing that kept him going was Jin Ling. If it wasn’t for his nephew he wasn’t sure that there would be any tether strong enough to stop him from going to his family.

But he could not keep Jin Ling with him all the time. The ache was more pronounced when they were apart. When his nephew was in Lanling he felt as if whatever meagre shreds of his heart that survived were all there with him. In his chest there was nothing, a hollow space bereft of all softer feelings.

When he got blacklisted by the matchmakers, instead of despair all he felt was relief. Relief that he would not have to pretend to care for someone else when he had no care left to give. Whatever was left of him was for his sect and Jin Ling.

A spouse deserved better than a shell anyway. For that was what he was.

And Jiang Cheng did not want to become his father. Someone who would not be able to show his family love or attention because the ones that they loved more than anything were gone.

Show me the meaning of being lonely (being lonely)

Is this the feeling I need to walk with

But you couldn’t claim loneliness when you drowned in work, could you? There’d be no time to feel anything but exhausted then.

He spent all his time chasing after those who started practising demonic cultivation and wreaking havoc on the lives of the common people with their unhinged and destructive behaviour. As always, he was cleaning up after Wei Wuxian’s messes.

If he used the time to also search for Wei Wuxian’s undoubtedly resentful soul hoping to put it to rest well, others were welcome to think it was destruction that was also his aim.

Tell me why I can’t be there where you are? (where you are)

There’s something missing in my heart

Of course he never found Wei Wuxian’s soul. No, that dubious honour went to Mo Xuanyu. Wei Wuxian came back after all, like he knew he would, though not in quite the way he’d anticipated. He’d expected him to be back as a resentful spirit, unable to rest with the violence of his death. He’d tried to exorcise him from Mo Xuanyu’s body, thinking he’d finally found him and would be able to let his soul move on from this plane. How could he have known that Mo Xuanyu wasn’t possessed but had willingly destroyed his soul to give Wei Wuxian his body.

And how could he have known that even still he’d only have loneliness for company as he watched that unfamiliar, yet familiar back walk away from him once more?

In the end he thought he’d known grief. He’d walked with it all his life after all. But how could he explain the grief he felt now? Knowing that Wei Wuxian was dead was lonely enough, but knowing that he was alive and chose not to come back even when he could have.. Chose to leave Jiang Cheng in his past.. It was a new form of grief. He couldn’t be where Wei Wuxian was before, and he couldn’t be there now either.

Those promises of being by his side were brushed aside with a simple ‘sorry’. In the end it was only he who valued them. He was worth little more than a debt to be paid. And oh did Wei Wuxian pay for his perceived debts dearly.

It was just that he was willing to sacrifice Jiang Cheng’s feelings at the altar of ‘owing’ too.

But he’d get over it.

He always did.

After all, grief was his companion. Loneliness, his friend. They were intimate acquaintances by now. Heartbreak? Well it was only a new word for an old feeling. There were so many words for it after all.

He would move on because he didn’t have a choice. There were many things missing in his heart, but he still had one left.

Jin Ling. The light of his shadowed life.

His nephew needed him, now more than ever.

And if one day he didn’t anymore, well…

He would cross that bridge when he came to it.

heads- up: someone is taking jc-centric fics and turning them into jc-bashing wangxian fics

I don't usually like to bring twitter drama over to tumblr but since the perpetrator in this case explicitly said they do this ON TUMBLR I felt it was pertinent to do so.

Today user DyuaLan on twitter, aka @jiaoji on tumblr, publically bragged about finding chengxian, xicheng, and zhanzheng fics and changing the names to make them wangxian fics with jiang cheng bashing.

When authors (understandably) reacted to this by blocking them, they boasted about still having 15 stolen fics in their drafts on top of the ones they've already posted.

And that they do all of this stuff on tumblr anyway, not twitter

If you have written any kind of Jiang Cheng ships, or Jiang Cheng-centric fic in general, and are not a fan of your work being stolen, it's in your best interest to block them.

They also said that they block everyone they steal from. Though if you go to the blog now and are blocked, please don't panic, that might just be for fanwar reasons.

Here's proof that DyuaLan is in fact the same person as Jiaoji:

(@jiaoji and @jiaoji2 lead to the same blog, it was probably called this because they at some point lost access/moved from their previous blog @jiao-ji)

And here jiaoji is bragging on their tumblr about feeling too lazy to even rewrite someone else's work

Their ao3 is "Jiao_ji" where they have 16 works total, most of which are in portuguese, making it harder to verify which ones are stolen, as a lot of their "sources" are probably in english. (Most of the fics they have written on tumblr itself are also in english) They also have a wattpad account with the url "Dilf_ji"

As a bonus here they are 2 years ago whining about zhancheng authors blocking them because it means they can no longer steal their fics, this has been going on for a while.

And talking a bit more about stealing from chengxian and zhancheng authors:

While I haven't written any jiang cheng ships, I am a fic writer, and I know the work that goes into it. I can work on a single oneshot for months on end. So this kind of attitude, where if you hate a ship the author's work is just free for the taking, is appaling to me. Inspiration is normal, fandom is inherently transformative. Hell, ao3 has a "works inspired by" function for exactly that. But wholesale lifting someone's else's writing, only changing the ship and adding salt about a character you hate? Yeah, no. "Character bashing" fics aren't my cup of tea in the first place, but if you're going to do it, at least have the decency to write the damn things yourself.

I don't like doing callouts, so while I know that I can't really control anyone else's actions, I want to say for my own peace of mind... please just block this person. I don't wanna cause even more discourse. Remember: you don't feed trolls. I posted this because i think writers deserve to be warned when someone is maliciously stealing and editing their work, not to instigate harassment.

#mdzs #jiang cheng #discourse #complaining and whining about fandom #fanfiction #long post #they seem to have a decently sized following so there's a chance you're reading this and already know them #because you read and enjoyed their wangxian fics... sorry. those might in fact not have been theirs

jiang cheng sees dead people au

after everything, jiang cheng finds himself experiencing frequent minor qi deviations — not that anyone realizes, since most of the time zidian will discharge the excess volatile qi to stop the qi deviation in its tracks before it can get too severe.¹

unfortunately, so many minor qi deviations have had a negative effect on his mental health — specifically, the worst problem would arguably be the hallucinations of his dead family.

it was something that started small but slowly got worse — at first, just whispers of speech that sounded eerily like his parents... eventually, full-on vivid hallucinations of his entire family — his parents, his sister, even his brother...

astonishingly, there actually is a possibility for a cure — it wouldn't be easy, and it wouldn't be quick, but there exists a solid chance...

alas! jiang cheng refuses to even consider it. he knows he should, but he simply cannot bring himself to — not when this is the closest thing to his family that he has left.

and sure, he has jin ling! but jin ling is naught but a baby at this point — he treasures him, of course, its his only sister's son afterall! but as much as it sickens him to admit, he would forfeit that little baby's life in an instant if it would get him his family back... even just one of them.

but time goes by, and jiang cheng grows to love jin ling as a son — as unwilling to give him up as he would be with jiang yanli herself.

but the thing about raising a baby, is that you don't really filter yourself around them. afterall, why would you? it's not like they're going to remember any of this anyway, not when they're still this small.

but. but. the act of not filtering yourself around a specific person... it can be habit forming. you can forget yourself. when alone with them, you can completely forget that you would normally censor these things around other people. afterall! you've never stopped yourself from doing it around them ever before!

this is all to say this: jin ling grows up with an uncle (father) who talks to people who aren't there.

over the years, there's a lot of confusion over it — times when jin ling thought, maybe, that he was talking to their ghosts... until he gets a little older, and actually learns about ghosts and how they work, and realizes that it can't be that...

he never asks his uncle about it, because ever since he was small any time that he would try to mention it or bring it up, his uncle would get angry and defensive; he would lie and insist that jin ling had heard wrong, that he hadn't been talking to anyone, that he had no idea what he was talking about...

eventually jin ling learned to stop asking... but he never stopped wondering. afterall, how could he? when jiang cheng would address those not-ghosts as a-die, a-niang, a-jie, and — most damning of all — wei wuxian.

he got older. his uncle stopped denying it, but would still avoid any questions about what they were...

(jiang cheng didn't want to admit to his nephew that his dear uncle was crazy and saw dead people... didn't want to worry him...)

but as time passed he slowly eased up enough that jin ling could mention it sometimes, offhand and casual-like... say things like, "is grandmother bothering you again?" or "you should listen to mom more!"

(jin ling may not know their personalities first hand, but he can infer things based off of what his uncle would say and how he'd re/act, the faces he'd make...)

time passed by, and he got older. eventually, jin ling learned what was wrong with his uncle. he learned about hallucinations and what they were, how they worked... he understood that the people his uncle saw and spoke to weren't real, they weren't there...

but he didn't do anything. afterall, uncle had always been like this and he seemed fine. some of the hallucinations bothered him, sure (*cough* madame yu *cough*) but others... jin ling can't even imagine trying to take jiang yanli, his mother, away from jiang cheng...

he knew about what caused the hallucinations, too — afterall, how could he not? jiang cheng raised him and would frequently endeavor to spend as much time with him as possible. it's only inevitable that eventually, one day, he would witness his uncle having a qi deviation.

it would either have to be during a time when he wasn't wearing zidian so the spiritual weapon could not ease his qi — perhaps while sleeping or bathing? — or the qi deviation would have to be severe enough that it overpowered zidian's attempts to mitigate it.

during this time, jin ling would finally find out about his uncle's frequent minor qi deviations. maybe it was while he was trying to sleep or bathe, and so when jin ling sees/shows up/happens upon him, jiang cheng has to ask his nephew — through gritted teeth slick with blood — to bring him zidian, quickly.

jin ling would watch as jiang cheng slid zidian on and it immediately started sparking harsher than he'd ever seen it do before. and he would be concerned, of course, that the sparks would hurt his uncle — and so to stop him from ripping it back off, jiang cheng would then have to go through the mortifying ordeal of admitting to your nephew that you secretly suffer from frequent minor qi deviations.

and of course, after that, jin ling would never be able to forget. and so any time he saw zidian going haywire with wild sparks, he would assume (correctly) that his uncle's qi was veering into the danger zone, and so out of fear for his uncle's safety and sanity he would do his absolute best to help his uncle calm down before he hurt himself.

of course, this gets interpreted incorrectly by outsiders — they see sect leader jiang getting pissed off, zidian throwing off sparks, and they see little jin ling frantically trying to calm his uncle down, fear clear in his eyes... it doesn't paint a good picture, suffice to say.

for years and years and years, no one outside of jin ling is aware of jiang cheng's struggles with hallucinations and qi deviations — right up until one day, wei wuxian is raised from the dead.

and, well... it's one thing to try to hide something from strangers — but siblings? they're a lot harder to fool.

(that's not entirely true — jin ling may know the most, and he may be the only one that jiang cheng is even semi-open about it with — but he's far from the only one to ever suspect anything, to notice anything. the closer a disciple is to jiang cheng, the higher up they are, and/or the more they interact with him, the more likely they are to know something is up — to notice the little things jiang cheng does that he thinks no one notices... but they do — they do notice. they just... choose not to say anything. to trust in their sect leader, who has yet to ever lead them astray.

...but they're not the only ones to notice something's up, and unfortunately the next person is a lot less nice... afterall, what with jin ling and all it is only inevitable that jiang cheng will end up spending a fair amount of time with jin guangyao... and, well... let's just say that the scene in the temple goes a lot differently in this au — what with all of the additional secrets jin guangyao has undoubtedly been gathering on jiang cheng...

maybe this is when wei wuxian and et all finally find out. maybe wei wuxian's been suspecting for some time that something's up with jiang cheng but he couldn't put his finger on quite what...

until jin guangyao unflinchingly announces it in front of everyone in the temple, without hesitation. he's been waiting to use this information, this blackmail, for a while now... and finally, the opportunity has arisen.)

---

¹idea for jiang cheng's qi deviations and zidian's effect on them from anonkun's "hating the hand life has dealt us" on ao3 (strongly recommend)

(it's a sort-of crossover fic with svsss about the og shen jiu being reincarnated as jiang cheng except when jiang cheng regains his memories of being shen jiu he flat out rejects them to the point of accidentally developing a sort of dissociative identity disorder where he sees himself and shen jiu as two separate people just inhabiting the same body)

Jin Ling and his Jiu-jiu

Jin Ling is seven when he almost understands love.

It's past midnight, and he had had a very bad nightmare. Someone was chasing after him, calling him names and yelling that he was an orphan, and that his uncle was dead, and that he had no one left in this world, and so on and on and on—

He had woken up screaming, rousing his uncle who was fast asleep and had gone to sleep dead-tired. I woke him up, Jin Ling thinks guiltily as he twists his fingers into his uncle's shirt, burrowing his teary face deeper into his neck.

"What is it, A-Ling?" Jiu-jiu's voice, though rough from sleep, is soft and comforting as he cradled the boy into his lap. "It's just a nightmare, alright? No one is going to hurt you — I'll break their legs before they get to you."

Jin Ling giggles wetly, wiping at his eyes before leaning his head on his uncle's shoulder and looking up. His jiu-jiu was the best in the whole world. He was so handsome, and so cool, and all his friends were jealous of him because he was just so cool. Everyone loved him, though he was often grumpy — the only person he didn't get grumpy at all the time was him. And Sang-gege, of course.

Ah, Sang-gege. Jin Ling thinks, suddenly straightening up, before lying back down against his jiu-jiu's chest.

"Jiu-jiu?"

"Hm?"

Jin Ling hesitates, before leaning his head slightly up. "Jiu-jiu, can I ask you something?"

"Well, go on," his uncle tilts his head to a side.

"Jiu-jiu," Jin Ling whispers, closing his eyes as he leans his head back on his uncle's chest.

"Jiu-jiu, do you love Sang-ge?"

He hears his uncle's breath hitch, and smiles a bit when he felt his heart speed up under his ears. "Jiu-jiu?"

He heard his jiu-jiu huff before he asks, "Suddenly? What brought this on?"

"Well, Sang-gege loves you. So I thought you would—"

"He said that?" Though he doesn't look up at him, Jin Ling heard the sudden softness and something — hope? — in his uncle's voice.

"No, but he looks at you like that."

"Like what?"

Jin Ling makes a face as he continues, "Like Zhan-ge looking at Wei Wuxian."

"That's Da-jiu for you," his uncle corrects, and laughs as Jin Ling makes a face again.

"Like Da-jiu and Zhan-ge look at each other."

"Do I look at him like that?"

Jin Ling contemplates that for a moment, before shaking his head. "No, you are different. Your eyes go all soft, and sometimes I think you don't even breathe when Sang-ge is here. You go all warm and soft even if you snark at him all the time, and you almost always look at him like that."

Jiang Cheng's mouth has fallen open at some point. He opens it, closes it, then lets out a snort. "That's way too observant for a 7 year old."

Jin Ling smiles smugly at him, before commenting in wonder, "Jiu-jiu, you are so red right now, you look like tomato soup."

His uncle's smile gives way to a scowl as he lifts Jin Ling off his lap.

"That's enough for now. Go to bed."

"But jiu-jiu!" Jin Ling whines as he's dragged into his uncle's bed, and immediately smothered by blankets. "I don't wanna sleep! I wanna talk about Sang-gege!"

"I said sleep." Jiang Cheng climbs under the covers with him, switching the light off, and cuddling him close. Jin Ling sighs, observing his uncle's face in the soft glow of the nightlight. Then he whispers.

"Jiu-jiu."

"What?"

"When am I going to fall in love?"

"Sleep."

"But jiu-jiu—"

Jiang Cheng now cuddles his nephew closer, closing his eyes as he hugs him tight to his chest.

"Another word and you can go back to your room. Sleep."

Jin Ling huffs, annoyed, then gives up and closes his eyes too.

"Good night, jiu-jiu."

"It's almost morning now, idiot child. Sleep. Wake me if you get a nightmare again, okay?"

Jin Ling smiles wide at that, and nods against his uncle's chest, before dozing off.

14. hello!! not sure if i was able to send this ask already, but do you know any fics were lsz is referenced as the lan heir? thank you! ☺️ /cuddlemehun

A Civil Combpaign Series by Ariaste (T, 19k, JL/LSZ, wangxian, arranged marriage, courting, teenage drama, humor) it's mentioned in the second fic, Besieged

~*~

15. Hello! For ITMF I am looking for canon-divergent fics where Song Lan and Xiao Xingchen help fight through the Sunshot Campaign, and perhaps join Wei Wuxian in the Burial Mounds after. I would love for Wei Wuxian to have had more allies in those years. Thank you for any suggestions! /gloriousclotpole

The Tiger has Destroyed his Cage by updatebug (G, 54k, WangXian, Shapeshifters, Fix-it fic, Animal Pelts, Tiger WWX, Found Family, adopted family, Yungmeng Siblings, Canon appropriate angst and violence, Gratuitous OCs) the tiger fic has XXC&SL get involved in the Sunshot campaign on WWX's behalf. it's canon divergent/ends before the Burial Mounds Settlement Days, but it's also just a really fun fic (and great for "wwx has more allies")

💖 Xiao XingChen’s travelling sect series by The Silverfish (ZephyrAndTheSilverfish) (T, 43k, wangxian, SL/XXC, time travel, children, rogue cultivators, hurt/comfort, murder mystery, world travel) Maybe also "Xiao Xingchen's traveling sect"? that's canon divergent much earlier than the sunshot campaign though

~*~

16. Hello, I'm looking for works, where JC was the initial source of hate rumors targeted at WWX that led to his demise. Could you please help?

~*~

17. Hi, I'm itmf NHS as chief cultivator. Best if before wwx death. Maybe he saw that everything is gradually going shit and decides to abandon his weak persona mask early
