CQL/MDZS AU where the events of Fatal Journey (including the nhs realizes he's been duped scene but prior to nmj dying) happen pretty much right after wwx breaks ties with yunmeng jiang. Meaning his reputation isn't completely in the tanks yet but things are building up.

Wanting revenge for his friends and to help his brother but realizing that actually involving said still-unstable-brother would probably get him killed, nie huaisang turns up at the burial mounds with a proposition. He can squirrel away the remaining wens to safety, hidden away within different pockets of qinghe that border qishan, if wwx agrees to marry him under the guise that they eloped during the sunshot campaign and come to qinghe to help his brother.

Wei wuxian initially opposes, but nhs is smart enough that he posed the offer to wen qing, citing that wwx has no right to refuse an offer not made to him. Wen qing asks what about wen ning and nhs admits that he can't integrate himself in with anyone normal, but the unclean realm is a fortress built to keep enemies out. There are places to hide even a fierce corpse. WWX eventually accepts after wen qing talks him around to it, knowing that nhs is right about their surrent situation being a literal dead end solution.

And because huaisang is trans in all my headcanons, wei wuxian also raises the question of others viewing nhs as his wife. Huaisang shrugs it off. He's accepted in qinghe and, more importantly, by everyone close to him. Everyone that he actually cares about. He's not so proud that he won't use an advantage when he sees it just because of some people he'll never meet will think him a wife instead of a husband.

Ofc they do eventually bring lwj into the fold. Whether they involve him in the plan or just in their relationship... who knows.

AND ofc a-yuan stays with wwx. Probably they'd give him to him to give him a chance of a better life. One not on the run. He gets three dads out of this so not a bad deal for the kid.

Anyways here's a bit of what I've got

"And what will you say to Chifeng-zun? Your brother won't object to you marrying the Yiling Patriarch, a monster and a known Wen-sympathizer?"

Nie Huaisang waved him off, as blase as ever.

"I think you're underestimating my brother Wei-xiong. He's a little self righteous and very bullheaded, he's not stupid. He's never believed a word out of Jin Guangshan's mouth and certainly isn't about to start believing him over me. If I say you aren't evil, he'll trust me. As for whether he'll oppose us? Well that's why we've already eloped and deflowered each other, remember? Harder to oppose something that's already happened."

Huaisang paused to consider before continuing in a much more somber tone.

"And besides, given recent events, I think... Well, let's just say he's currently very inclined to do anything he can to make me happy. I'd usually hate taking advantage of my brother in this state, believe it or not, but I'm willing to if it means he sticks around."

It was odd to see Nie Huaisang talk like this. Wei Wuxian couldn't really remember ever seeing him take anything seriously. Then again, he'd never before considered Nie Huaisang someone he'd had to consider seriously either.

"And you?" Wei Wuxian asked, "You won't oppose marrying me? Helping them? I saw you wince when you saw Wen Qing you know. I know what the Wens did to your family, how can I trust you won't try to hurt them?"

Nie Huaisang scoffed.

"Not all of us are so inclined to heroics, I would know. I can't say I don't resent them, but in their place? I wouldn't have opposed Wen Ruohan either. My brother would have. You would have too. That's the difference between us, I suppose."

"But you do resent them?" Wei Wuxian clarified.

"Yes," the other man answered simply, "Immensely. At least, in Wen-guniang's case I do. But you know? On the way here, I measured my hatred for the Wen sect—for the murder of my parents, for the war, for all they took from me—against my love for my brother..."

"And?"

"And they weighed nothing at all."

Nie Huaisang took a sharp breath in and a long breath out, as if he were actually letting his resentment flow out of him with the air in his lungs.

"Wei-xiong understand this, if I had to bring back Wen Ruohan himself just to give my brother an extra week of life, I'd do it. In a heartbeat. Damned be the consequences."

Happy happy holidays 🎁🎉🕎🎄❄☃️ As always, I’d love some more of thee MDZS Identity Porn (with the masks and LWJ getting jealous of all of his husband’s “husbands”) (Or JC traveling back in time?) Thanks!

a continuation of 1 2 3 4 5

Nie Huaisang has spent most of the banquet fluttering back and forth between his brother and Meng Yao, stroking and then soothing Nie Mingjue's anger by turns.

At this point, Lan Wangji can't help but find himself wholly unsympathetic to Nie Mingjue's plight. Meng Yao has his husband's trust and care and whatever friction he'd experienced in the Nie is lacking in the Burial Mounds.

The more formal portion of the night has faded and people are intermingling and drinking and spread throughout the Jin gardens and main hall.

Wen Qing spends the evening drinking and scowling and unsubtly putting as much distance between herself and Jiang Wanyin as possible.

Lan Wangji had gotten so caught up talking with his brother and other Lan, now that it's socially permissible to do so, that it takes him a while to notice that his husband is missing.

It takes him significantly less time to notice that Nie Huaisang is missing too.

His face drops into a scowl that he's afraid he's learned from Wen Qing. Xichen blinks then his eyebrows push together in concern. "Wangji?"

He forces his face to smooth out. "Apologies, brother. It's nothing."

Xichen raises an eyebrow then leads him away from the others with some murmured excuses that they pretend to believe. “Go on.”

“It’s fine,” he insists, then under his brother’s unwavering gaze swallows down his embarrassment to say, “The Yiling Patriarch and I have a political marriage.”

“Yes,” Xichen agrees in puzzlement before his faces darkens. “If he is behaving dishonorably-”

“He had a life before me, Xichen,” he says. “His personal and political interests are simply not aligned.”

Not completely. He had flustered Wei Wuxian before. He’s never seduced anyone before, but Wei Wuxian seems as if he’d be amenable, if only he can figure out how to do it.

Xichen looks at him carefully before his mouth tips up on the side. “This is displeasing to you. That the Patriarch’s interest in you is not personal.”

He flushes but gives a single nod.

There’s clear amusement in his tone now. “So he is handsome under the mask then?”

“Xichen,” he says, helpless and a warning at once. He’d spoken in generalities all evening, unwilling to reveal any of the particulars about the clan he’s married into, even to his brother. Meng Yao and Wen Qing are correct. Their clan will have to come more fully into the public soon but that’s Wei Wuxian’s decision, not his.

Well, realistically it’s Meng Yao’s, considering it seems as if Wei Wuxian would happily keep[ their clan in the shadows forever.

“Do you promise it’s not terrible?” Xichen continues, the teasing gone and just leaving gentle concern in its place. “You weren’t just saying that so the others wouldn’t worry? The burial mounds is such a horrible place. I hate thinking of you there.”

The burial mounds are beautiful.

It holds their village and their people and lush fields and thriving crops. There’s soft greys and blue skies and every horrible part of it is underneath his husband’s control and he would never, ever let that horror touch the people he’s sworn to protect.

“It’s not what it looks like on the outside,” he says finally. “The Patriarch isn’t either. You’ll understand when you see it.”

“I’m looking forward to it,” Xichen says.

modern nielan have so many options for meet-uglies as kids because of their didis? library meet-ugly. pool/waterpark meet-ugly. park meet-ugly. daycare/afterschool care meet-ugly. zoo or petting zoo meet ugly. cat cafe/bunny cafe meet ugly. Honestly, with all of these terrible meet-uglies, it's amazing that nielan get along so well.

Lan Wangji and Nie Huaisang: *duking it out in the daycare parking lot*

Nielan: *trying to get their didis under control so they can exchange phone numbers and persuade their respective guardians to set up a playdate*

[naehja]

Nie Huaisang: If you took a shot for every time you made a bad decision, how drunk would you be? Lan Xichen: Maybe a little tipsy? *says the guy who can burn alcohol with his Golden Core* Lan Wangji: I don't drink! Jiang Cheng: Unconscious! Wei Wuxian: Wasted. Jin Guangyao: Dead. Nie Huaisang, between his teeths: Yeah because i would have poisoned your drink, asshole!

this does not necessarily have to be your favorite character or the one you'd want to impress most etc. who would truly crush you the most to hear you disappointed them

[dagnyart]

Sorry not sorry

Since I don't ship wanxian (but respect it) I surprisingly found this match. Just think about it! They are both:

-introverts, overthinkers

-love arts, caligraphy, history etc

-have some small autistic ( here with love and respect) interests: like watching bunnies or birds for 3 hours in a row.

-don't share trauma, connected with each other

-Lan Xichen is very important person for them both, maybe they have more memories from familly hollidays we don't know about

- probably neighbours

I also have hc that Nie Huaisang had crush on Lan Wangji during the school days but never told anyone bc his bestie had already been obsessed with him, haha

okay, since I've finished the books, I've been watching bits and pieces of the show. among the many wild changes it includes, my favourite so far is definitely Nie Huaisang smuggling an entire ass bird into the Gusu lectures in his sleeve, what a legend

also the fact that Meng Yao is directly behind him for all of this and is, presumably, having a conniption...

theres like minimum 5 different examples in MDZS of strong-willed, stern, "mean" characters whose families only function normally because they're as mean as they are

the entire story of MDZS revolves around the aftermath of one of their deaths, and never once is his death painted as a good thing - especially in the eyes of the person he 'terrorized' the most

and yet literally any time i have seen half of these stern characters discussed to any capacity beyond 'oh they're pure evil,' there is at LEAST 1 person in the notes or QRTs or whatever treating the OP like they're literally satan
