#yiling wei sect au

[lewiscarrolatemybrain]

I love that whenever people draw any kind of Yiling Heir Sizhui we always depict him with his collars closed.

I imagine him trying to go Tiddies Out like Wei Wuxian exactly one time, only for the Tiddy Laozu himself to see it and aggressively tuck Sizhui’s robes tighter while scolding him that a respectable young man has no business showing so much skin!

Sizhui can’t look into the camera like he’s on The Office because cameras haven’t been invented yet but he does make exasperated eye contact with one of the nearby fierce corpses.

🖤 Second disciple of the Yiling Wei Sect - Mo Xuanyu ❤️

[sharkji]

The more I think about this [this post], the more a Yiling Wei Sect AU comes to mind.

Everything plays out mostly the same, but the rumors are true! Wei Wuxian really did start his own sect!

Perhaps the timeline diverges after Qiongqi Path.

Wei Wuxian successfully convinces Wen Ning and Wen Qing not to turn themselves in. They have a sect to run together now! They'll deal with the consequences together.

The siege still happens but it's more evenly matched. Since it was just rumors that wwx started a sect, they were more prepared to fight wwx and wn. Two against many. They didn't expect wwx to have actually skilled disciples! (In my heart of hearts, wwx's disciples would be a bunch of lost, outcasted queer kids he found (think mxy!!) that found a home in his sect)

The siege concludes with casualties on both ends. Both jc, who's leading the siege still, and wwx have newly formed sects. They can't afford to loose much more. It's a draw. Terms and conditions of the draw are to be established.

Meanwhile, the siege is still locked down as the greatest battle in history. Lan disciples come back tired and ragged. Lan Wangji has received his punishment of 33 lashes and is in seclusion.

He is never the wiser if his brother comes in and says wwx lost the siege and is now gone.

In the dead of night Iwj breaks several more rules sneaking out of the Cloud Recesses and heading towards the burial mounds. He has to see wwx's dead body for himself.

He doesn't expect to see a recovering, but mostly okay sect. With just a roughed up, fully alive wwx attending to his disciples.

And when wwx sees Iwj and the state he is in, he comes to the correct conclusion about what happened to him.

This is when I play my uno reverse card.

Instead of Iwj wanting wwx to "come back to Gusu with me” to protect him from the world. We have a wwx wanting lwj to "stay in the burial mounds with me" to protect him from the Lan clan.

Okay okay so, the symbol of Yiling Wei Sect. I realized what it should be.

So like, with the Wen Remnants and the Yiling Laozu; the Qishan Wen had the sun with flames as their symbol, Wei Wuxian wears black and red with flames: the Yiling Wei Sect should have a solar exclipse as their symbol.

Partially to represent the remaining Wens, partially to symbolize that Wei Wuxian's darkness overtook the sun (the Qishan Wens) during the war.

It just feels right. It has the sun and flame symbology I like while also keeping the dark aesthetic needed.

[thisisallthehattersfault]

Yes yes Yiling Wei Sect teaching safe and controlled demonic cultivation is very sexy but I think too many people overlook that Wei Wuxian is first and foremost an inventor! He is a man of science! Manipulating resentful energy and doing necromancy is only ONE of the many things this man has done or come up with that changed the cultivation world. Yiling Wei Sect AU where the burial mounds are crowded with workshops and laboratories, forges and studios. Little shidis run errands, fetching and carrying crafting materials, and in addition to the older disciples teaching cultivation there are also classes held for mundane trades and crafts, to be combined and reworked in new and incredible ways. Talismans, enchanted objects, spiritual tools and weapons, useful gadgets. Workrooms full of long, low tables where disciples work shoulder-to-shoulder on their newest inventions, shouting ideas and suggestions from one end of the room to the other. Swords are still traditional, but the Wei Sect is always inviting guest instructors to teach other forms of weaponry, and it’s not unusual for a student’s actual preferred weapon to be something other than a sword. Classes are chaos, students are encouraged to argue and debate, and no topic is ever considered “mastered” even by the teachers -- there is always more to learn, to explore, to invent or re-invent. We teach all that is known, but not all that IS. Respect the old ways, but don’t be mindlessly obedient to them. Yiling being the fantasy equivalent of the most technologically advanced city in the world. Not all the things the Wei sect come up with are strictly for cultivation, after all. There are talisman-powered looms and plows that pull themselves and little crystal charms that store spiritual energy so that even non-cultivators can activate the flameless lanterns that light the town and the moving platform that will carry them up the mountain path, if they have right or reason to go visit the burial mounds. What I’m saying is that they’re all nerds. They’re all nerds, is what I’m saying.

Pt. 1 Pt. 2 Pt. 3

Wei Wuxian enters their meeting room with an innocent-looking smile on his lips and silver eyes shining with playfulness, which makes both Meng Yao and Wen Qing get on high alert, their past experience telling them that whatever the kid is thinking, is not good at all

"So!" The teen smiles with excessive mirth "I received an interesting wish today"

"Going by your standards, I must question what exactly you mean by 'interesting'" Meng Yao comments wryly, even if they have shared interests and multiple things in common, some of A-Xian's tastes have always been more... weird; courtesy of growing up in a mass grave and being raised by ghosts, he guesses

The teen shows them a smirk in response

"Qing-jie" he turns to the healer "What kind of person is Wen Ruohan?"

The question takes her by sorprise

"Wen Ruohan? Well... he is very powerful and ambitious, when we left he was starting to invade minor sects out of some delusion that everyone was too dumb to lead themselves so he has to conquer us and do it himself" Wen Qing scoffs with a frown. Honestly, moving to the burial mounds was the best decision she could've taken

"Huh..." Wei Wuxian contemplates it for about a second "Between us, who do you think is more powerful?" He wonders innocently

Both Meng Yao and Wen Qing feel shivers down their spine

"Wha-"

"What's this about, A-Xian?" Meng Yao looks at the one he considers a younger brother with trepidation, the teen clears he throat and starts reading the scroll in his hands

"'Great Yiling Patriarch, I've heard all about your amazing accomplishments, so I send this missive to you out of despair. As you must know by now, the cultivation world is going through a great war against the Wens. Because of this, my family is in danger, so I must ask... please kill Wen Ruohan'" both officers loudly inhale. Wei Wuxian continues "'... I can't ask you to kill the entire Qishan Wen sect, though if you did the reward would be just as big, so at least I implore you to take down Wen Ruohan, without him, the remaining Wens might surrounder and my family will be safe. With this request, I leave you the list of payment and a way of contact' so it says"

"Ho~ interesting indeed" Meng Yao says that but he looks like on the verge of qi deviation

"So? What's the reward?" Wen Qing questions with a frown

"Hmmm says that the ownership of several stores and locals here in Yiling, an entire cargo of silks, gold, silver, licor, rice, rare medicinal plants, and the ownership of a plot of land in Yingchuan" Wei Ying reads

"What?! Let me see that!" Wen Qing practically rips the letter from him and Meng Yao also hurry to peek at it next to her. Wei Wuxian looks at them fondly, they get along very well despite their usual bickering "Are you going to meet them?" The healer asks him with her 'suspicious scowl', as Wei Wuxian calls it, the teen shrugs

"Sure, the Yiling Patriarch never refuses a wish"

'He says that but whenever he doesn't want to grant a petition he makes the offender forget everything about it' Meng Yao thinks raising an eyebrow 'Well, if I were asked to kill and torture innocent people I'd do the same' he sighs, and turns to look at Wen Qing, he knows they share similar thoughts

"These plants that are listed..." Wen Qing seems conflicted "They could help Meng-furen with her breathing problem"

"For real?!" Wei Wuxian exclaims

"Its a very strong possibility, what she has is something chronic from her days in the city, bad weather, and a weak constitution, Wei Wuxian's treatment has been effective so far, but it only alleviates the symptoms and stalls them, the problem persists, which is why she still has such a hard time in winter, this-" Wen Qing points at a plant whose name Wei Wuxian doesn't recognize "is a root that could help her lungs expel all the mucus and make them stronger"

"Auntie..." Wei Ying beams at the news "Well, I was going to accept solely for the challenge but with this..."

"Wait a second A-Xian!" Meng Yao interjects "I understand how big this is, and I know how strong you are, but to fight Wen Ruohan..." he pauses, A-Xian is strong, he really is powerful but... "It's too risky, what if it's a trap?"

"Huh?" Wei Wuxian looks at him curiously, normally, he fully trusts his instincts, which were honed to perfection to avoid any type of danger by living inside the Burial Mounds, but after growing up with Yao-ge, he learned to trust his slyness and understanding of human plotting more

"The only city the Wens have been unable to obtain is Yiling, they've tried multiple times and you always send them flying, so what if it's a trap to lure you out?"

"Hmmm? The Wens also failed to take Yunmeng though," Wei Wuxian adds

"Thanks to you" Meng Yao crosses his arms "My point stands, also... if you enter the battle alone with your powers, the war council may have problems with it, remember what we talked about?"

"Hmmmm that I have to play nice with the other sects?" Wei Ying wonders innocently

"Exactly" his brother frows at him "If we want to grow as sect, to exchange goods and obtain things we don't have, we can't allow ourselves to make them think we are an enemy"

"Then what can we do?" the Yiling Patriarch frowns slightly "This is a wish that I really want to fulfill, because of the families that are suffering, because of Auntie Meng and..." there's a guilty, yet playful glint in his silver eyes "because it really sounds like fun"

There's a moment of silence while the two arms of the new Yiling Wei sect try to process what their patriarch just said

"I... see" Wen Qing facepalms "Well, if that's what you want we can't stop you" she sends him a long-suffering look "So? What's the plan? How do you intend to kill Ruohan and be friends with the other sects?"

After a moment, both Wen Qing and Wei Wuxian turn to see Meng Yao, expectation bright in their eyes, the strategist sweatdrops at their expressions and sighs, already used to this 'This kid, really...'

"Alright, let's see... why don't we start by..." Meng Yao takes out an old scroll that they received three months ago "entering the sunshot campaign as they ordered?"

Wei Wuxian might've been adopted by Meng Shi, but at that moment, they have the exact same maniacal grin on their faces. Wen Qing suppresses a shiver

wei wuxian really put his whole pussy into the donghua yiling patriarch reveal huh

YilingWei Sect AU: Sect Heir + a few changes

Click here for the YilingWei Sect Masterlist

___________________

Our very own Sect Heir! Wei Yuan, Courtesy name Sizhui (brought to you by someone who still yearns a certain man). The adopted son of Wei Wuxian and heir to the sect.

Born and practically raised by a man-child, Wei Yuan is nothing short of a mischievious child much like his father. The only difference is he has more restraint, and more often than not is subtle in his mischief.

He’s strong-willed and diligent, a very caring shixiong towards his fellow disciples and much to everyone’s surprise: He’s the laid back shixiong while Mxy’s the strict one.

Wei Yuan is adept in medical cultivation being taught by his aunt/the head physician. He’s also talented with a bow, being inspired by Wen Ning’s story about how Wwx was the best archerer in their generation.

In the Wei sect it is encourages that disciples wield at least 2 weapons with ease, since circumstances can never be predicted. Mo Xuanyu has a sword but his fan is his main weapon, Xue Yang has twin daggers and Xiao Qing is adept with a spear. On the other hand disciples like Wei Yuan choose instruments as a secondary weapon.

Although he’s not as talented in talismanry and array study like Mxy he’s the best swordsman among his peers. He knows how to play the guqin but only slightly, the only lessons he ever got was from this certain man a long time ago…

__________________

CHANGES:

I think the most visible change is the sect emblem here. Before, it was an intricate dreamcatcher-like design of the Stygian Tiger Seal because it was the only thing I could think of back then. Now the emblem is a Black Bamboo Stalk with red outlines and black smoke in the background.

There’s a small detail in my AU to explain this, the bamboo is the sect’s foundation for many things: they make houses with it, instruments, paper, sigils, harvested for food and so on. It was the only resource they had in the BM and without it they wouldn’t have survived.

The black smoke on the other hand represents Wei Wuxian and his cultivation, which kept Yiling safe from outside dangers, obviously the sect wouldn’t have formed without it.

And since the emblem changed I figured the pattern on their robes should as well. It’s different for each disciple but one thing remains consistent: the repeated circular pattern on the edge and the black smoke. WY’s and MXY’s robes have bamboo patterns, showing that they represent the sect right after WWX, and additionally, WY has a blossom patterned fabric wrapped around his skirt to represent his small family of Wen healers.

[lewiscarrolatemybrain]

It really isn’t fair how rarely Meng Yao shows up in Yiling Wei Sect AUs.

You look at that brilliant man with his murder dimples and his love of event planning and tell me he wouldn’t absolutely thrive as The Yiling Patriarch’s Gay Assistant.

Also not for nothing but nobody in history has ever needed a PR manager more than the Yiling Wei Sect as a whole

[ssilcatt]

jin ling is very serious about helping out his fav cousin and his dajiu on their farm  °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖° find out more about this two lil cousins on my yiling wei sect au thread on twt!

[freda-art]

My small collection with designs by Xue Yang and Mo Xuanyu from mdzs in different AU.

Those who are somehow familiar with my arts know how much I like to draw them together. Besides the fact that I like their canonical designs, they didn't suit me for certain subjects and I came up with others. I've already posted three of the four sketches.

1. Mo Village AU.

The design of this homewear was specially designed for a role-playing game, the plot of which is based on the life of Yang and Yu in Lanling. According to the plot, due to some circumstances, the guys go to the Mo village to visit the Xuanyu's family. They stay there and rest before returning to the sect.

2. Yiling Wei AU

3. Lanling Jin AU

4. Everyday Lanling Jin AU

[mdzs-owns-my-ass-i-guess]

Gusu Lan has 3000 rules pertaining to life and work and morals and pretty much every aspect of existence in order to guide cultivators to the right path

Yiling Wei on the other hand has one single rule: fuck around and find out.

Guess whose cultivators are less unhinged.

[lordmushroomkat]

I've found there are two specific genres of mdzs canon-divergence universes that I am most fond of.

There's the classic nothing-goes-wrong AU. Featuring Cloud Recesses pining and friend-to-lovers and romcom nonsense. I fully believe that wangxian would have eventually gotten together in their original lifetimes if only they were given the time and opportunity to do so. Sure Wei Wuxian is very bad at recognizing his own feelings but I have faith that eventually it would click. Pure fluff. Everything is beautiful and nothing hurts.

And then there's Yiling Wei Sect AU, my beloved. We are legitimizing the Burial Mounds settlement through political alliance and interpersonal connections. And then, then, we are fixing all the problems and saving everyone. Xue Yang? He's found and rescued by the Yiling Laozu as a small child and doesn't become filled with mortal resentment. Mo Xuanyu? He becomes a disciple of YilingWei and kicks ass. Meng Yao? Yeah sure, we really need a PR person! Nie Mingjue? He's not going into qi deviation on our watch! Nie Huaisang? He's pals with Wei Wuxian and probably learns the battle fan at some point and he knows everything about everyone. Everyone can be saved with the power of Wei Wuxian not having a mental breakdown. Yeah, that's right, give that man a support structure and I think everything will be okay. Is this actually accurate to canon? Fuck off, this is my house.
