“Mn,” Lan Zhan replies, moving to his dresser, “Is that the same book which you were reading yesterday?” “Yes,” Wei Ying says, “It’s written in your old script so it’s as difficult as reading the collection of righteousness.” Lan Zhan’s heart feels warm at his petulant tone as he picks out a set of travel-friendly robes, “Mn. What is it about?” “Divorce.” Lan Zhan’s hand freezes.

Length: 5.1k

This is the second work in my ongoing series - Our Eternal Banquet. I really like this one, cause, Wei Wuxian is a gremlin. But we (Lan Wangji especially) love him for it. And also Wei Wuxian is endlessly kind and everyone's parent and support person. And Lan Wangji definitely doesn't plan how he wants his coffin to look like.

10. Love love LOVE fics where Yu Ziyuan gets her way and Wei Wuxian is removed from the Jiang Sect, only for Yu Ziyuan to run the Jiang right into the dirt while the whole world sings the praises of Wei Wuxian, who can now reach his true potential without having to scrape and knowtow to Yu Ziyuan's temper. I need more of them. I need ALL of them.

... Or I guess really just any fics where WWX ends up standing above Yu Ziyuan.

11. I don't mind Best Jiujiu Jiang Cheng, but it's starting to bug me that everybody seems to forget it's not canon (CQL notwithstanding ig) so I'm asking for post-canon fics that acknowledge Wei Wuxian as Jin Ling's actual favorite uncle. It doesn't need to be Jiang Cheng bashing or anything like that really, I just want Jin Ling and Wei Wuxian feels and bonding that are NOT Yunmeng Bro reconciliation or focused on Jiang Cheng. I won't say NO to some Jiang Cheng bashing, but I'd prefer the focus be on Jin Ling and his ACTUAL Best Jiujiu Wei Wuxian.

15. Any fics where Jin zixun succeeds in killing wwx and being lazy and callous realizes he doesn't have a gift for the party and presents wwx's as his own instead. Maybe he is immediately found out cause someone recognizes wwx's handwriting on it or whatever. Or maybe jl grows up with it and adores it cause there isn't a wwx stigms attached and like it saves his life many times, people constantly saying whoever gave it to him must of really loved him. And then he finds out the truth

a symbol to remind you that there’s more to see by paperminds (T, 9k, JL & WWX, JC & WWX, JL & JC, post-canon, canon typical violence, hurt/comfort, angst w happy ending, JC & WWX reconciliation) this one (from 2 itmfs back) is 'similar' the  other way, jin ling grows up thinking his mom commissioned the bracelet. for #15, i think i've never read a fic with jin zixun specifically stealing jin ling's gift, so i hope op gets recs, but otherwise it might be a cool prompt for the kinkmeme!sadly i cant find the 'similar' fic i want to rec lol 🤦‍♀️ its the one with ghost rogue wwx who was (spoiler) killed due to jin negligence in a nighthunt iirc, and jin zixun steal all his notes and passes them off as his own. wx have a different first meeting and lwj investigates wwx's death.

16. ITMF fics with protective LXC. Maybe he goes against JGY because he dares to hurt LWJ and that's where he crosses the line. But I mainly want protective LXC over his brother (and maybe a bit dark?)

If you didn’t get an answer to your ask here, don’t forget to make use of @mdzs-kinkmeme and MDZS KINK MEME on Dreamwidth. Authors actually do use them for ideas. You may get what you order!***Your prompt doesn’t have to be kink! Fluff, crack, whatever - it’s all good!***

[withthewindinherfootsteps]

Welcome to my blog!

I'm Skye (she/her), and I primarily write metas/analyses about MDZS, though other things do get reblogged occasionally. I love analysing characters and waxing about the structure of MDZS, though there may be periods of inactivity. Regardless, I hope you enjoy the time spent on this blog, and that it may lead you down the rabbit hole of other people's metas as well – I've linked some of my favourite analyses down below, as well as a few of my own that I'm proud of.

Info

I'm about to start a reread of MDZS, and will post about thoughts I have/details I notice under the tag #skye rereads mdzs. For the posts that get longer and more analytical, I'll tag them under relevant #meta tags as well. I will be using online screenshots, but I do own all the books, if that's a concern!

Important tags (be warned tumblr does mix them up a bit when you search...):

#my meta for my analyses

#important for important real-world things, like donation links etc (because though this is a fandom blog, it's also the biggest platform I have, and the more people these posts can reach, the better – people can decide what to do with them after they've been seen)

#[mdzs/svsss/tgcf] meta for any analyses, mine or someone else's

#translation for analyses focusing on comparing translations

#[mdzs/svsss/tgcf] fanart for fanart i've reblogged

#fav tag for others' analyses or fanworks I particularly enjoy

#not mxtx is self explanatory

#asks is self-explanatory, too!

Metas

Metas I'm proud of:

My 'WWX is not a self-sacrificial idiot' series: 1, 2 (my favourite one), 3. Also compiled into one essay on AO3, with clearer definitions and an added introduction!

NHS and the morality of revenge

Trope subversions in MDZS and SVSSS

How might NHS have found out about NMJ's death?

Yi City + 3zun parallels

JYL is a well-written character, actually (second is unfinished)

How the way the world views LWJ reflects his character arc

On LWJ remaining in the Lan sect after WWX's death

The Morally Grey Debate^TM from a different angle

On the nice, broad road metaphor and how LWJ ties into it

Any meta around or over 3k words which I'm sufficiently proud of will also be crossposted onto my AO3 account!

My favourite metas to read:

LWJ and JC being foils/the theme of "love is an action word" by @/rynne (there are two parts, they're not dealing with two different subjects)

The theme of resentment in MDZS also by @/rynne

WWX, making miracles, and what defines him by @/righteousinadversity

The development of WWX's attitude towards LWJ in his first life by @/wutheringskies

NHS, WWX and masks by @/morethanwonderful

There are many more, and this list will definitely expand as I track down them and their links. But I love all the metas I've reblogged, so feel free to scroll through the #[fandom] meta tag to see more recommendations!

With all that said, have a great day!

[catmaid-san]

favourite wangxian scene or dialogue exchange if you wish to share?

@wutheringskies Hmm this is hard since I adore every WangXian interaction. But lately, I'm most impressed with the scene during the 2nd Siege.

This scene makes me so happy. It feels like a fulfillment of both of their wish. To be accompanied, and to accompany.

This scene also sounds like a proposal. When it comes to WWX, his chosen life path matters more than any affection. In the past, often times whenever he attempted to do something, no one was there to accompany him. So when he asked LWJ to accompany what he wanted to do, it felt like asking LWJ if he was willing to accompany him on his chosen path in life, a.k.a sharing weal and woes.

Those Hundreds of Clans were there to besiege WWX, yet they were entrapped and about to be massacred by their trusted and beloved Governor. WWX could have ditched them on their own, considering their original intention. However, despite the stabbed wound in his abdomen has yet to recover and should be aggravated even, as it was later showed that:

,,,, he still chose to yet again, endangered his own life to save lives. You know what JC will say about this? It is a Heroic complex. "What do those people's lives matter to us?"

But this kind of choice has always been WWX's life path. Just like what he did in XuanWu Cave or with the Wen remnants. Therefore to have someone who not only agrees to his choice but is also willing to accompany him, really means a lot.

To me, this is like a declaration, a spoken proposal for WangXian before even the Heaven and Earth kowtows or the Love Confession. WWX should have already realized LWJ would follow him, yet he still asked for a spoken agreement. And LWJ, despite how he usually rarely responds in words but in action, he gave the assurance verbally with firm determination. And that is what I found, endearing.

[amzyspinkarch]

If you’re part of the western audience like me, and a live action or Donghua fan (also like me), do not let what fans who have not read the novel, or even fans who have but have negative things to say about it deter you from reading it for yourself. The novel is too good of a story, and a message, for you to pass it by. Read for yourself, understand characters, for yourself, understand the story for yourself.

Fans aren’t wrong when they say there are stuff in the live action and donghua that are misinterpreted or changed so I highly recommend reading the novel.

Another thing, it will or may be hard to shed what you’ve been taught, it might be hard not to compare (?) the characters and story to what you know, or your beliefs in order to understand the story better but try not to. I say that because even though you’re trying to use what you know to understand these very different people better, it may do more harm than good and you may find yourself putting things on the characters and the story to better understand for yourself.

It’s very, very important to remind yourself that this is a story from a Chinese standpoint. You’re reading a story about a different country, with a different culture, and a different language (which is also incredibly important as translation errors occur). You can’t use western logic.

The language part is so important. If you purchase the novel (in parts via Seven Seas) you’d think after reading you have a good or good enough grasp on the story. You don’t. Things in Chinese have a different meaning to English, and you’ll misunderstand some things due to translation errors. So, I also recommend finding fans who can translate and explain things well and/ or if you’re unsure or curious about anything.

Metas are also great help. These will help you understand the characters and story better especially if things go over your head (like me). I think the great thing about metas as well is that you will always learn something new. There’s different perspectives you that can see the story from. However, not every meta is good. Some people just chat shit about characters like WWX and LWJ for example, and get an inflated ego since so many agree with them and think they did something right. My advice is, if you truly want to understand, find people who will keep it real, who you can learn from even if the truth burns you. People whose metas challenge you.

A few I know of if you want to learn and understand more:

I hope my points came across well. If you decide to give the novel a try, happy reading. You’re in for a ride.

Proud Author Spotlight

Hey! I wrote my first two fics for this fandom. I'd love to gain more of a reader-base. Why I think it would be enjoyable: canon dynamics and Lan Zhan absolutely doesn't plan out which sort of coffin he should get that Wei Ying would approve of.

Everlasting Sunshine

by wutheringskies (@wutheringskies)

M, 5k, Wangxian

Summary: “Mn,” Lan Zhan replies, moving to his dresser, “Is that the same book which you were reading yesterday?” “Yes,” Wei Ying says, “It’s written in your old script so it’s as difficult as reading the collection of righteousness.” Lan Zhan’s heart feels warm at his petulant tone as he picks out a set of travel-friendly robes, “Mn. What is it about?” “Divorce.” Lan Zhan’s hand freezes.

1. Hello...how are you. I'm looking for two fix

a) I don't know if it will make sense. I think it was a time travel fanfiction and wei ying was doing a mock night hunt with the juniors and every time jiang cheng and wei ying met will chose a group for themselves and do this mock night hunting.

b) Lan Zhan was hit with an isolation curse. He first lost his hearing then sight and eventually feelings but wei ying still found a way to commicate with him @hewhomustnotbenamed24

2. hi wonderful people! i've never done this before so hopefully i'm doing it right. i am very desperate to find this fic because it's haunting my brain!! i remember wei ying gets encased in some sort of crystal in jinlintai during jin ling's one month celebration or near that time and is kept hidden there. there was this one part where someone tried to break it and they were attacked by resentful energy? i'm pretty sure it was an everybody lives fic and it was quite long, if that helps! thanks! &lt;;3 @circussocks

4. I'm looking for a modern AU meet-cute where single dad WWX goes to a party at JYL + JXY's place (I think he gives JYL an ink painting for her birthday). Wen Chao hits on him and WWX needs an escape. He sees LWJ looking at a painting and pretends they're married, and LWJ immediately rolls with it to play the protective husband. They're smitten and leave together. LWJ makes pancakes the next morning and wins over A-Yuan. The fic is under 10k, I think, and probably E-rated for smut. Thanks so much!

~*~

5. hi! I'm finding this fic on ao3 where Wei Wuxian is from a minor sect. I think he was from Tianshan He (the clan that JGY and XY murdered in Villaneous Friends but I'm not very sure. The plot was starting from the Wen Discussion Conference I think ? Everyone is surprised to see a minor clan get the top spots because of Wei Wuxian, and take keen interest in him @wutheringskies

6. im looking for a fic but all i can remember is that after lan xichen caused wwx's death (killed him? kept lwj frok saving him? led a siege) lan wangji challenged him to a fight. for years after lxc refused to talk about his brother at conferences and i think? lwj left the cultivation world behind or went into hiding with ayuan? any help appreciated 🙏🏾 @onlyegret

7. hi! i'd love help finding a fairly popular (?) time travel fic that's escaping my searching ability somehow... it's a lil short, from at least a year ago. post-siege lwj is sent back to sunshot, and wants to do better by wwx, but wwx is already friendlier to him, and takes him flying to where he's hidden the wens. they play music to a-yuan, and then! (spoiler haha) it turns out to be post-canon wwx <3 idk why i can't find it, so thank you!

8. Hi, you seem like you know things and I have exhausted myself trying to find this fic.

It’s about Wei Ying, his siblings and the Wen siblings living in a house together, modern era, while he renovates it little by little. He is actually a tattoo artist but isn’t working atm. Then Lan Zhan moves in and stays in Yanli’s room with her so he assumes that he is Yanli’s bf but never opens his mouth to ask. Lan Zhan and Yanli are actually best friends and while Wei Ying and Lan Zhan instantly click he tries to push Lan Zhan away because he thinks he is dating his sister. I vividly remember this fic but no matter what tag combos I try, I can’t find it. If you can find it you’d be my heroes :) Lan Zhan also wears skirts here which is always a bonus.

FOUND? could be Once Upon a Place by zeldasayre (E, 80k, WangXian, House restoration, Falling In Love, Misunderstandings, Enemies to Lovers, Enemies to Friends to Lovers, Bisexual WWX, Trans Male WWX, Gay LWJ, JYL & LWJ Friendship, Modern AU, Set somewhere in America, Tattoo Artist WWX, Librarian LWJ, Mutual Pining, Angst with a Happy Ending, Slow Burn, Domestic) I looked it up by the tattoo artist Wei ying tag, I haven't read it tho

~*~

9. It's a modern-day college AU - Wei Wuxian has a roommate who is very confused why he keeps rhapsodizing about someone named Long John (as the roommate hears it)

FOUND? Long John by hasu (G, 3k, wangxian, modern, Crack Fluff, POV Outsider, College/University au)

~*~

10. hi I'm looking for a modern au where lwj is kidnapped by the wen and wwx is being forced to work for them but they realize they're soulmates(?) and i think they might have memories of their past lives. wwx has to help the wen cuz jyl and jc are being held hostage. please and thanks 🙏🏾 @onlyegret

FOUND! in another life by dogear (M, 33k, WIP, WangXian, Past Lives, Enemies to Lovers, WWX POV)

~*~

11. I can’t find this fic and it’s driving me crazy! It was a modern college au, and lwj brought wwx back to his family ranch for break. The premise was that wwx stole lwjs hat to wear, and everyone was giving them looks because there’s a saying like ‘wear the hat, ride the cowboy.’ There’s a scene where lwj literally grabs a bull by the horns and wrestles it to protect wwx. In the end lwj tells wwx about the saying and they fuck. I think this fic might be hidden/deleted but I can’t be sure? Even a link for the way back machine would be amazing. Thank you!! (I know exactly which fic this is but I cannot find it either :( I hope it wasn't deleted - Mod C) @adeametea

FOUND? 11 on recent FicFinder might be Local Cowboy Goes To Town (On A Poor Defenseless Twink) by Pancho. Unfortunately, Pancho's works are currently hidden due to AI scrapping

~*~

12. Hello! I’m looking for a fic I read a while back where Wei Wuxian was resurrected by Qin Su, finds out that he is pregnant by Jim Guangyao, and tricks Lan Xichen into thinking that the child is his. I’ve been searching everywhere for this fic but I can’t seem to find it!

FOUND? So You Want to Start a War by JaenysBloodcourt (T, 41k, WIP, MY/QS, MY/WWX, WangXian, Reincarnation, Half-Sibling Incest Mention!, QS does the ritual instead of MXY, WWX as a woman, MY Is His Own Warning, Canon Divergence, Impersonation, Additional Warnings In Author’s Note, Please check the notes before reading a chapter, Timeline What Timeline, WWX Has PTSD)

13. Hello I’m trying to find a fic i read a few years ago it was modern day and lan zhan kidnapped Wei wuxian who works at a coffee shop to be his husband and he keeps he locked up in a penthouse and he wasn’t allowed to look out the windows and one chapter he had a fever and stepped on broken glass. @stitch97

FOUND? Courtship Rite by FunkyShoes (M, 26k, WangXian, XiYao, Dark LWJ, Dark LXC, Morally Gray JGY, Malicious NHS, but that's not the focus of the story, banality of evil, Kidnapping, Courtship Gone Wrong, Manipulation, Mind Manipulation, Off Screen Violence, Supportive Sibling LXC, Modern AU, Dubious Consent, Rape/Non-con Elements, Non-Graphic Rape/Non-Con, I've been told I should tag for passive victim wwx) I think. It's JGY POV

~*~

14. I'm looking for a fic, but the main problem is I'm not sure if it was on AO3, Tumblr or Twitter (and if it was Twitter, I think I read it as an unrolled thread). LWJ visits WWX in Lotus Pier and at one point gets accidentally whipped by YZY when she was aiming for WWX. He demands WWX's hand in marriage as reparation and I think LXC was a little exasperated but didn't contest it.

Thank you in advance, and no worries if you can't find it! (I feel like I read something like this recently but which of them was it is the problem TvT ~Mod L)

FOUND! Tumblr post by ronniexian I’m fairly certain it’s this

~*~

15. I’m looking for a Cloud Recesses fic where Wei Wuxian wants to signal that he and Lan Wangji are courting so he grinds ink for him before class.

FOUND! 💖 Magical Marriage Ribbons Series by starandrea (Varies, 1m, WangXian, Canon Divergence, Accidental Marriage, Fluff, Happy Ending, Telepathic bond, Kink Negotiation, Family Drama, Magical Pregnancy, Dual Cultivation, Shapeshifters, Modern with Magic, Immortality, Yilling Wei Sect, podfic) I think #15 is one of the early worlds in the magical marriage ribbons series by starandrea. I'm not sure which, but I think there's a 30(?) Days of secret courting in cloud recess in it

~*~

16. hi! for the fic finder: i remember only one scene from a fic where at a cultivation conference both lan xichen and nie mingjue kiss jiang yanli on the cheek. i think it was either to make jin zixuan aware of jyl or otherwise a result of someone's political scheming? i dont remember whose idea it was but it wasn't lxc or nmj's. im positive this fic is in my bookmarks somewhere but i dont remember enough to find it lmao

FOUND? Lynchpin by ShanaStoryteller (Not Rated, 103k, WangXian, JC & WWX, Time Travel, Fix-It, Lynchpin [PODFIC] by Opalsong, [PODFIC] Lynchpin by Gwogobo) nhs convinces nmh and lwj to kiss jyl on the cheek at the phoenix mountain hunt to make jzx jealous

~*~

17. This is a hyper specific ask because the only things I remember about this fic is wangxian are in university and wwx is an art major or in some art class where he shares this big space with a bunch of classmates that's divided up with tape. At some point he gets into a fight with another classmate cause he stuff spills over and lwj helps him. I think it might have been lwj's pov?

FOUND! could it be "show me a quiver, give me tonight" or its part 2 "crossed the world with these empty hands" by spookykingdomstarlight

~*~

18. I’m looking for a fic where Lan Wangji first meets Wei Wuxian as his doctor, with Jiang Cheng storming out of his room shouting that Lan Wangji should just kill him because obviously WWX didn’t value his own life. (WWX had pushed JC out of the way of a car.) LW is darkly amused by it. He’s mildly obsessed with the pearl drop WWX wears? Runs into him in the meat department later, & eventually moves WWX in. Loves having him in their apartment, providing for him. Possibly too much @any-mouse

FOUND! singularity by azuresummer (E, 7k, WangXian, Modern AU, Dom/sub Undertones, Dominant LWJ, Submissive WWX, Serial Killers, Dark LWJ, Possessive LWJ, Protective LWJ, Serial Killer LWJ, Doctor LWJ, Stalking, Manipulation, Obsession, Mentions of Murder) I think 18 is singularity! Where lwj is a doctor/serial killer that stalks wwx at forst to kill him but falls in love wih him instead

~*~

19. hi. i'm searching for a fic, i don't remember much except the wei family is actually a merchant family and wei changze is their 3rd or 2nd young master. wy inherited all his father wealth and let the butler to continue doing it for him? then the wei family send dowry to cloud recesses, lotus pier n qinghe? withdrawn their business from lanling jin? anyone know where i can find it? thank you. :) @aishiteru-amie

20. Hi !! I've been looking everywhere for a fic (or maybe two ?) that takes place in the north (or south?) pole. I remember that they get trapped in there, and something is very wrong. I THINK that there was something about resentement-virus or something ? It was quite a while ago...

him? he's forever waiting.

The Fool

standing by the door, waiting for a voice that will never return. ready to spend an eternity, accepting you will always be without a piece of your soul, for the boy who laughed like the sun has set, and plunged your story into unending darkness. so, go on, little lover, light up the lanterns and sit by the door. your bed is made for two, and the wine is warm for him. cherish the flowers he gave you, adore the child he left you, and tell his stories anew. one day, perhaps you will hear the song in your heart from the flute of another's, perhaps his restless, bright soul will pay you a visit and light up your world again. until then, you will wait. if it's forever, then you will wait forever.

SOS: Wei Ying Injured from Fighting a Horrifying Monster!

Written for @mdzsxchange - Case Fic!

Read here!

Length: 16.8k Excerpt: “…See, it’s a very scary curse that prevents me from stating the truth about this creature!” Wei Ying raises his milk to the ceiling, “It’s deceitful and secretive. It’s done this so I can’t share with anyone else, about the horrors I have seen. Lan Zhan, these horrors are meant for my eyes, and my eyes alone. This is a battle I must fight on my own. Lan Zhan, my good Lan Zhan, you understand this, don’t you?” Lan Zhan stares at him, completely deadpan and fish-eyed. “Lan Zhan, you understand, don’t you?” Wei Ying raises the milk carton higher. Lan Zhan turns resolutely towards the stove, then casts a side-way glance at Wei Ying, “I do not.”

Or, Wei Ying returns injured from a night-hunt. Lan Zhan is worried. And there was something about an elevator. Tags: Modern with Cultivation, Housemates, Yiling Laozu Wei Wuxian, Hanguang-jun Lan Wangji, Porn with Feelings, Fluff, Humor, Love Confessions, Forehead Kisses, Caregiver Lan Wangji, Brat Wei Wuxian, Genius Wei Wuxian.

My longest published fic for Wangxian fandom! I love their banter.
