    Summary

    Wei Wuxian: "Yeah, sure. Like I'd ever marry another boy. No way you are telling the truth. Weak comeback. Really weak.”

    Lan Jingyi, who had evidently had *enough*, simply narrowed his eyes and marched their whole group to the edge of the clearing where Jiang Cheng was still locked in a standoff with the older Lan disciple.

    Once they had a good angle, he simply narrowed his eyes and pointed at the tall Lan.
    This was the exact moment when he looked over at them, and Wei Ying swallowed.

    “Oh. OH!”

    After he was able to do more than gape again, (which took a not inconsiderable amount of time) he quickly bustled over, shot the tall handsome man who was evidently his husband a charming smile, and took Jiang Cheng's arms into his hands.

    “If you would please excuse us for a moment, I need a word with my Shidi. Very urgently.”

    ~~~~~~~~~~

    A strange curse causes Wei Wuxian to shift back and forth between his childhood, teenage and adult self.

    Jiang Wanyin may or may not be in over his head with the task of keeping the mayhem at a minimum.

    Along the way, everyone gets to learn a few new things about Wei Wuxian, along with many realizations about their relationships.

    Summary

    "Dad, do you think they would have been proud of me?" A-Yuan asks, intertwining his fingers over his belly. The question takes the older by surprise, but he tries to conceal it. Sitting up, now he looks at his little, handsome radish of a son, who's started crying silently.

    "You mean... your ancestors?" He tries, even if it is a very dumb thing to ask, since he already knows who he is talking about. A-Yuan, always a kind boy, nods, not moving anything else but his hands, fidgeting with them as if it's going to help to calm his rattled heart.

    "Well, A-Yuan. I didn't knew them for years as I knew the Jiangs, and we didn't get to know each other deeply because of... the circustamces that surrounded us at the moment. But if there is something, you can call it a reason, that we had in common after spending barely hours together... that reason is you."

    Or, AU where Wei WuXian doesn't follow the Wen to nightless city when they go to appease the Jin's bloodlust. Instead he wakes up to the empty cave, save from A-Yuan's little hands on top of his, and the knowing sad smile of Granny Wen. So he takes both with him, and hides away for years, until he doesn't.

    Summary

    The stories changed from person to person, some said he was a monster, others that he was a heavenly officer who had come down from the heavens, and there were others who said that it was not a single being, but multiple ghosts in one body; the myths grew with the years, the only thing that remained the same was this: Anyone with a wish could go to the little shrine on the outskirts of Yiling, just above the mountain, before the Burial Mounds and pray, and if they left the right price, their wish would become true

    Wei Ying was 6 years old when he entered the Burial Mounds
    12 years later the Yiling Laozu, the legend, the monster, the wishing-granting demon that created his own sect deep in the mountains, joins the Sunshot campaign

    Summary

    “Of all the rotten luck I could have!”

     

    Outside, in between the gentle embrace of an imposing misty mountain and the caress of soft wind, stood the Cloud Recesses. It wasn’t a section that Wei Wuxian had recognized from his time in the sect, but the motifs of clouds and cranes in the buildings, the impeccable feng shui and carefully manicured paths, and the utter silence as the sect members slept peacefully, all burned themselves into Wei Wuxian’s eyes. No wonder the curtains were so firmly nailed to the walls! Any bit of demonic energy escaping the room could call down a veritable army of righteous cultivators! What sort of person in their right mind would dare to summon a spirit into their own body using resentful energy in the Cloud Recesses of all places? What kind of person would scoff so rudely at the Lan Clans most important rule, ‘Do not fraternize with evil?’

     

    After being dead for four years, Wei Wuxian wakes up in a body he doesn't really feel comfortable with, in a place that he's sure wants him dead, and married to a man who surely hates him.
