What would have happened if Wen Ruohan was able to time-travel with his future memories intact, knowing Lan Zhan and Wei Ying were the keys to his success?

Where Wei Ying meets Lan Zhan while Lan Zhan’s investigating a murder and Wei Ying is like “Hi I’m the yiling laozu.” With Lan Zhan’s answer being along the lines of “Boring” or “seriously” and Wei Ying being all “no really, I’m seriously I’m the yiling laozu.” And just putting himself into Lan Zhan’s investigation.

Chapter Text

Wei Ying felt frozen in time a high pitch ringing filling his ears as Xiao Xingchen, the escort of what generations ago was once upon a time known as Lotus Pier now simply known as District 12, voice fills the town square as he stands on the stage holding the drawn name in hand.

“Jiang Cheng” Xiao Xingchen repeats

‘No..No…Please no this can’t be happening..there has to be mistake they can’t take Jiang Cheng …..he can’t go into the arena he won’t survive. Jiang Yanli needs her brother she can’t lose him too.‘ Wei Yings mind races as he fell himself start to panic. Wei Ying can see the guards go to grab his brother, the blood is rushing to his ears but he swears he could hear his shijie screaming, before he can consciously even process what his doing Wei Yings feet move on their own pushing threw the crowd that gives way to him as if he where cured .

Wei Ying is about a foot from the guards and his brother now, he hasn’t even even cleared the crowd when he seals his fate with a piercing yell so loud that it brings the already subdued crowd and everything around it to a dead stand still

“I Volunteer as Tribute!!”

Wei Ying see his brother wheel around to face him wide eyed with fear, shock and anger, even so Wei Ying knows what must be done. Wei Ying promised he would always protect his siblings. So Wei Ying stands up taller, sets his shoulders, with a stronger, steadier voice that carries through the mostly silent crowd and over his brothers protests he repeats.

“I Volunteer as tribute. “

He doesn’t have time to register Jiang Chengs anger or Jiang Yanlis attempt at comforting words as he says goodbye to his siblings, for what may be the last. Jiang Yanli pulls him into one last crushing hug and her making him promise to come home to them, his siblings are escorted out.

Everything from there happens in quick succession like a nightmare that his viewing from an outside perspective and before he knows it he and the female tribute form 12 are off to the Capital. Wei Ying feels like his drowning in cold water, like a zombie, he feels hazy and numb. Throughout arriving in Nightless City the Capital of all the districts, meeting his new stylist Wēn Qíng and her brother/assistant Wen Ning, Wei Ying can’t help but feel numb. He is happy his brother is safe and doesn’t regret his decision, but he feels like he should feel something other than numb and empty.

That night unable to sleep Wei Ying sneaks up to the roof, and though he hasn’t specifically been told they couldn’t leave their floors unsupervised he’s sure it’s frowned upon. Figuring the roof would be a great spot to try emotionally and physically wrap his mind around everything that’s happened in the last 48 hours. Since it’s late and everyone else is most likely to be in bed at the moment he figured the roof would be unoccupied…..which is why Wei Ying finds himself shocked into silence when he enters the roofs balcony area to finds another person bathed in white already occupying the moon lit space. No, not just anybody but District 2 Career Tribute Lan Wangji.

‘Well, my life just keeps getting better and better.‘ Wei Ying thinks as he mentally curses himself. In his tired state he couldn’t be sure if it was the door closing behind him, or the small yelp he gave at the doors gravity closing the door with a bang, but either way the next time he looked back to where the career was sitting his silver eyes locked with a pair of golden eyes that burned like the sun. Wei Ying could of sworn his heart stopped and three thoughts flooded Wei Yings mind simultaneously ‘I should have stayed in bed’, ‘Will at least if he kills me, I’ll get to see something pretty before I die’, and ‘Honestly if this is just the beginning then the odds are not in my favor’ . With that last thought Wei Ying lets out a small exasperated sigh. He just wanted be be back home with his siblings in their small run down house, he will didn’t want to fight to the death with 23 other people, no, he rather hoped this was a nightmare and that he would soon wake to the smell of his sisters soup and not a participant in the 74th annual hunger games.

How would being in hunger games would change Wei Yings and Lan Zhans relationship??What challenges would they face??💙🖤❤️

WangXian District 12 and 2 forbidden love . Hurt/comfort. Angst with a happy ending.

Chapter Text

Waking up on his stomach in the medical wing the first thing he noticed was Nie Huaisang pacing worriedly close by his bed followed quickly by nothing but the thoughts of the searing pain Wei Ying feels in his back and body.As if sensing his awaking Huaisang looks towards him and seeing him awake crosses the few steps it takes to get to him all the while calling for one of the doctors letting them know he’s awakened. Nie Huaisang helps the doctor, who hurries over, to get Wei Ying into a sitting position. Wei Ying knows they are trying to be as gentle as possible but knowing this does not make the excruciating pain in his body hurt any less.

“Drink this .” The doctor demands as he basically pours the cup of liquid down Wei Yings burning throat.

‘Man my mouth and jaw hurts ……’ was the only hazy thought Wei Ying gets before the memories of what happened on the Pier came rushing back. Madam Yu’s boiling rage, angry shouts of wanting him out of her home, the usual accusations of him bringing both the sect and her son down, but what Wei Ying remembers most is the strike of Zidian hitting his back. Wei Ying had pushed his friend Huaisang  behind him and away from the angry Madam for fear that Huaisang could accidentally get hit in the crossfires.

Wei Ying was used to Zidian for this wasn’t the first time Madam Yu has used Zidian on him and he has somewhat built up a pain tolerance to the spiritual weapon, no longer screaming out when the burning wip hits his skin. How tiered Wei Ying was of all the pain and taking the blame for things that wasn’t his fault, because that was the thing he could not help that he was naturally better at cultivating than her son. Wei Ying is always protecting Jiang Cheng, his always taking the blame for things when they get in trouble……even when most of the time it wasn’t his fault….

‘And it’s still not enough……never enough…I could rip out my soul to save her son and it still wouldn’t be enough would it? No after all I’m just a son of a servant to them. Somehow everyone forgets my mother was a student of the immortal Baoshan Sanren’ Wei Ying thought hazily before tuning into what Huaisang was saying, he could finally feel the medication starting to kick in.

“Wei Ying? How are you feeling?,” Huaisang asks nervously twitching his fan in between his hands.

Wei Ying tries to focus his attention on Huaisang but he is felling a bit dizzy, and he doesn’t really feel like talking to anyone. Matter of fact if he’s honest with himself Wei Ying really just wanted to lay back down and close he’s eyes, his head was pounding plus his back was still on fire even with the help from the medication. But this wasn’t just anyone this was his best friend Huaisang, who has been like a brother too him. ( The only other person who he would be happier to see at the moment would be Lan Zhan. Not that he would admit it to anyone other then himself, even then Wei Ying isn’t sure he could bring himself to conjure up his happy and upbeat personality even then). In the end it doesn’t matter because before he can even think of opening his mouth Hauisang continues on speaking 

“I know you’re probably in a lot of pain, but Da-Ge is here and is meeting with Sect Leader Jiang now. If everything goes how it’s supposed to you’ll be going back home to Qinghe, the unclean realm with us.” Huaisang said scowling while waving his fan before closing it in his hand “But really how are you feeling.” He finished turning a worried look onto Wei Ying as if he was afraid Wei Ying was going to pass out again.

Which was honestly a possibility with how Wei Ying is feeling. As his  vision swam  he had to briefly close his eyes at the on slot of nausea and information he was just been given.

‘Could I …..Could I really leave?? Leave Jiang Yanli and Jiang Cheng? Not that Jiang Cheng would care….and his shijie has been consumed with her broken engagement with the peacock, to focus on anything else, not that ot would matter he knows exactly what his shijie would say and do. His shijie would pay his hair and say that Madam Yu didn’t mean it, that she was just angry, she would then try to heal his pain with soup and Wei Ying knows she would only be trying to help.That said Wei Ying can’t help but feel angry in the darkest depths of his heart, that she would push away and minimize his suffering, shoving soup at him as if soup could heal this type of pain.

Opening his eyes to look at his friend Wei Ying tried to force a small smile to his face and to somewhat ease his friends mind by trying to play off how bad he really hurt. Wei Ying took a deep breath centering himself before opening his mouth to speak……Only for no sound comes out.

Temporarily mute. Selective Mute Wèi Yīng | Wèi Wúxiàn. Happy ending WangXian. Fix it. Nie Wèi Yīng | Wèi Wúxiàn. Jiang bashing. Bad parent Madam Yu.

Chapter Text

Lan Zhan has no ideal how they got here, how he could be losing him…. how could it all be going wrong? He had crossed paths with Wei Ying and Wen Ning on the way to Lanling Jin for Jin Lings Wei Yings Nephews 100 day Celebration. They had stopped for a quick lunch, they had decided that Wen Ning would go back to the Burial Mounds to protect the Wēn Remnants. Lan Zhan had made a last minute decision to volunteer to take Wei Ying to the celebration and back safely, it had taken some convincing on his part. (He thinks it is probably the longest conversation that they have had since he left the Burial Mounds on his visit to Yiling) They part way with the Wen Ning and they are soon safety stepping off of Bichen (Lan Zhan tries to not let his mind wonder to how nice it had felt to have Wei Yings arms around him) at the door for Golden Carp Tower they are greeted by a flustered Jin Guangyao who is all but interrupted by his brother Jin Zixuan, who all but changes direction from heading to his brother to where He and Wei Ying are, Jin Zixuan then pulls a the flabbergasted , Yiling Lounz down the hall Stating that Young Madam Jin has been anxiously awaiting his arrival. Lan Zhan doesn’t hesitate to draw Bichen back into its sheath and followed behind at a Lan acceptable pace … barely…but still an acceptable pace. Wei Ying had got to see his family and hold his nephew for the first time. Lan Zhan doesn’t remember the last time Wei Ying looked so happy. That night after the awkward dinner banquet with Sect Leader Jin passing angry glances at Jin Guangyao, and though Sect Leader Jin Guangshan
did bring up the subject of the Yin Tiger Tally up once before the conversation was squashed by both the older and Younger Madam Jin’s, other than that the banquet went smoothly. Wei Yings sister convinced him into staying the night with the excuse that it was too late to fly, Wei Ying sent a message to Wen Qing letting her know that they would be arriving tomorrow morning instead of later tonight, Wei Ying smiles as his sister sets up Guestrooms for both of Lan Zhan and Wei Ying in her guest side of Tower, just to be safe.

Even though it was late by Lan standards Lan Zhan still stopped by Wei Yings room pausing to grab the Wine that sat just outside of Wei Ying’s room before knocking. Wei Ying had invited him in with a smile, Lan Zhan had sat and listened as Wei Ying talked avidly about how nice it was to see his siblings and to meet his nephew while making a pot of tea. Once the tea was done and the both sat a crossed from each other at the table Lan Zhan pours Wei Yind a glass of the wine before taking the glass of tea Wei Ying poured him. They had been talking and Wei Ying had been looking so happy, Lan Zhan had been feeling lighter than he has in forever….. then everything changed so quickly. Wei Ying suddenly has stopped speaking, he had his head in his hands before giving a soft statement of not feeling well and trying to stand only to keel over letting out awful rench. Lan Zhan was at his side before he could he even comprehend he had moved just in time to pull a collapsing Wei Ying into his arms. Lan Zhan’s mind went into over drive and then shock when he sees the little spots of blood on Wei Yings now too pale lips. Wei Ying let’s out a wheeze of air and a cough, his body seems to shake in Lan Zhan’s arms, quickly Lan Zhan starts passing spiritual energy into the man he considers his soulmate….but it’s not working. Lan Zhan can feel his self control slipping as the panic rises, with the way his ears are ringing it takes him a second to understand that Wei Ying is speaking even though his speech is labored, airy and seems to take far to much effort Lan Zhan is still able to makes out what the younger is saying.

“It won’t help…Lan Zhan.. it’s not going to help.. Wen Qing….need… Wen Qing..Burial Mounds.”

Thats all it takes for Lan Zhan to sweep Wei Ying into his arms, grabbing the wine bottle that still sat in the table, before releasing and stepping onto Bichen and using the one big window in Wei Yings guest room to leave with Bichen pointed in the direction of the Burial Mounds. Lan Zhan doesn’t remember most of the flight to the burial mounds or much that follows after, he remembers the fear, holding Wei Ying who’s chest seems to heave with the effort to breathe, he remembers dividing his spiritual energy into passing energy into his soulmate and urging his sword to move faster.

Lan Zhan doesn’t take heed of the wards once they enter the Burial Mounds still urging Bichen faster and once the village starts coming into View his calling out to Lady Wen. Wen Qing and her brother are rushing to his side before Lan Zhan has even fully landed Wen Ning has taken Wei Ying out of Lan Zhan’s arms and is following his swiftly behind his sister to the ‘Demon Subdued Palace’ as Wei Ying had named his room. Lan Zhan can see how pale and grey Wei Ying has gotten from where Lan Zhan leans against the entrance of the room exaiughsted, afraid and mind panicking with the thoughts of losing the man he loves before ever getting a chance to explain how he feels, all the while trying to stay out of the doctors way. Lan Zhan swears Wei Yings lips seem to be turning bluer as time passes, Wen Qing rushes around speaking while she examines Wei Ying, and it only takes her calling out to him once and asking him what happened before he is quickly, mind working on auto-drive to take her through everything that has happened tonight after they separated from her brother. Wen Ning takes the Wine bottle that Lan Zhan still has before handing it over to Wen Qing. Lan Zhan hears the word poison leave her lips as she hands the bottle back to her brother.

“Poison? It should not be effecting him like this. Wei Yings golden core should be purifying it . “ Lan Zhan Hears himself State.

The next sentence Wen Qing gives she says while focused solely on saving Wei Ying, but even so Lan Zhan feels like she stabbed in the heart with his own sword.

“That would be true if Wei Ying in fact still had a golden core, then yes it would be able to work against the poison, purifying it before it does too much damage to his system but he doesn’t. Wei Ying doesn’t have a golden core.“

Lan Zhan’s whole world stops ‘Wei Ying doesn’t have a golden core…but he would have noticed… they fought a war together fighting side by side.. he would have noticed… right?….He did notice something was wrong but he figured it was just Wei Yings new cultivation and then his trauma from the war on top of it.’

“When??” Lan Zhan hears himself ask voice sounding hoarse and pained even to his own ears.

“Since before the war. “ is all the information she gives before giving her brother orders .

Lan Zhan feels as if he’s going to be sick, ‘before the war? How could Lan Zhan not see? He knows… he was too focused on the wrong thing …everything, all the conversation, all the misunderstandings now made since. Wei Ying had tried to tell him in his own way but Lan Zhan Was too worried about the repercussions that Wei Yings new form of Cultivation might have on his body and mind.’

Before he can fully come to terms with what he has been told Wen Qing let’s out a panicked sound and then precedes to push on Wei Yings chest with both hand.

“What can I do” Lan Zhan demand moving to the other side of Wei Ying .

Wen Qing has him take over pressing on Wei Yings chest in a repeated rhythm while she starts passing breath from her mouth to Wei Yings. Some where in the haze and adrenaline that has taken over Lan Zhan his mind realizes that he can’t feel Wei Yings heart beat beneath his hands, he doesn’t know how long this goes on for his next memory is Wen Qing placing her hands over his, the chest under his hands doesn’t move, there are tears clouding Wen Qings eyes , Lan Zhans own eyes flicker quickly over to Wen Ning who is now standing over to the side head bowed, before focusing back on Wen Qing. Lan Zhan sees her shaking her head and then she speaks and Lan Zhan’s heart dies with her next sentence.

“He’s gone, this nothing we can do.”

Lan Zhan can feel the anger burning in his chest….’the day had been going so well not even a couple hours ago Wei Ying had been a live, happy, and thriving getting to see his family….how had things gone so wrong…..the Jins ….the Wine outside Wei Yings door… that’s the only way he could of been poisoned….Wei Ying was the only one to drink the wine….they new he would drink it if they left it for him….someone had deliberately poisoned Wei Ying.’

Lan Zhan’s world felt numb with only the soul deep pain of losing the man he loved, along with the raging hatred he felt for the people that had hurt Wei Ying . ‘People like Jin Guangshan who is nothing but a power hungry dog, who is no better than Wen Ruohan. They both where men that would order the death of innocent people just to feel powerful, men who would kill someone as good and Loving as Wei Ying. All that Jin Guangshan and his followers wanted was power, they just wanted to get a hold of the Yin Tiger Tally, they didn’t care who they hurt in the process as long as their pockets where full and they hold the power.’ Lan Zhan’s mind whispers.

Lan Zhan can feel his blood boiling and his resolve strengthening. Taking a deep breath, Lan Zhan took in the pale appearance of Wei Ying, his long untamable hair framed his face, his eyes closed as if only sleeping. Lan Zhan pushes back the tears he can feel in his eyes, before taking off his top robe and Laying it over Wei Yings still form. ‘Even death can not change his beauty ‘ Lan Zhan think before turning to the Wen Siblings who are have now gone quite and are looking at him , Wen Qing with red eyes and tear stained face and though Wen Ning can no longer cry Lan Zhan can see the pain burning in the ghost generals eyes.

“Stay here I will be back” That is all Lan Zhan gives them before he is headed out of the cave. Most of the Wen Remnants are still asleep though some of the elders are up as Lan Zhan goes to leave. Lan Zhan stops to strengthen the wards on his way out and that is where Wen Ning catches up to him.

“You are going to avenge Young Master Wei. I would like to go with you?” The first of Wen Nings sentences is a statement and the second a question.

Lan Zhan somewhere in the back of his mind thinks he should be concerned that the first is not a question too, but he can no longer bring himself to care, anyway what does it matter Wen Ning is right. He won’t let them get away with what they have done …Lan Zhan doesn’t care who had a hand in it…whether it Sect Leader Jin Guangshan….his nephew Jin Zixun … all those who had a hand in plotting Wei Yings death…Wei Ying…The man Lan Zhan loved, the man who burnt like the sun, the man he wanted to protect with all his being, who would always put others first is dead because of the other sects greed…and that would be their last mistake….After all the Lan sect was known for two thing it’s righteousness and the fact that Lans only love once. Lan Zhan gives The Ghost General a small nod before they head off in the direction of Lanling.

100 years later:
Wei Wuxian is excited to be in the imperial city of Yiling with his best friend and foster brother Mo Xuanyu . This was the first time they had gotten to go to the city. Wei Ying was excited and was hoping that on there visit to the city that they would get a glimpse of the Emperor.

The legend that has been passed from generation to generation tells that the immortal Emperor Hanguang Jun went to war with the some of the other sects after the sects had killed his Wife. The story tells about how a heart broken and righteous Hanguang Jun was able to come out victorious with the help of his leading general The Ghost General as the story call him, to bring the rest of sects under his control and bring peace to the land. It is said that the heavens where so moved by Hanguang Juns devotion to his spouse that they granted Emperor Hanguang Jun with immortality.
Wei Ying can’t but help to want to be able to get a glance at the immortal that was strong enough to conquer some of the biggest sects of his time. That and though Wei Ying would never mention it out loud he also found the whole story very romantic and as Wei Ying was a romantic at heart he was excited to see if he could get a glance at the highly esteemed Emperor.

If Wei Ying only knew that his wish would come true . Not only that but meeting the said Immortal Emperor would change his life forever, in new exciting and dangerous ways that Wei Ying never could have dreamed.

Lan Zhan’s pov: 

A lot of things have changed but Lan Zhan had kept the silent promise to avenge Wei Ying, in doing so he was able to protect the Wens that his love longed to protect. After the War that had ensued in the wake of Wei Yings death, Lan Zhan can’t really remember all details as they have got fuzzy with time, but Lan Zhan has a vivid memory of Bichen blade cutting down the arrogant and pleading Jin Zixun, who had blamed everything on « that whores son and his Uncle » as he had put it before Lan Zhan’s sword removed his head from his shoulders. Lan Zhan can remember ending both Jin Guangyao and Jin Guangshan (the former was at the disapproval of his brother and though it had taken some time after the Twin Jades had reconnected). Lan Zhan had ended the war with the help of both the Wen siblings, Wen Qing at Yiling being the head of medical and the main leader of the Burial Mounds when Lan Zhan was away. Wen Ning had fought as Lan Zhan’s General and Second. Yunmeng Jiang along with Madam Jiang Yanli and her husband who had since relocated to Lotus Pier (at Sect Leader Jiangs demand after getting word of what had happened to Wei Ying), had joined Lan Zhan in the War. The   Qinghe Nie Clan had broken its silence 6 months later at Nie Huaisangs insistence of joining the war to help Lan Zhan put a stop to the Jin’s tyranny.  The War had not Lasted Long, with The Cloud Recess taking a neural stance and refusing to take part, the War only lasted 3 years. During this time Lan Zhan figured out how to balance his power, protecting the Wen Remnants, purifying the Burial Mounds and raising Wei Yings son Yuan now Sizhui (who had reached his own immortality at the early age of 20 though he still looks roughly 16. ) Lan Zhan has heard many versions and legends of the night he reached his own immortality but  for himself it only comes in flashes. What he remembers most was way the anger and pain coursed through his veins, Lan Zhan and Wen Ning had made made it to Carp Tower. That early morning, Lan Zhan and Wen Ning had been met at the bottom of the steps outside of Carp Tower by a smugly confused Jin Zixun and a more stoic Jim Guangyao who stopped at the top of the steps close to the entrance of Carp Tower. Lan Zhan had standing a few feet away from the man, Wen Ning close behind waiting for a threat or a sign to move. Lan Zhan could remember calmly demanding answers (even though he felt anything but calm at the time, his whole body seaming to vibrate with a silent fury). Jin Zixun been unpleasant, rude, and his mocking at how  « It servers that demon right he got what he deserved, how no one would care about a servants son turned traitor»

Lan zhan remembers his his rage rising to a point that Lan Zhan was sure he would now explode with it. Jin Zixuns voice seemed to have been loud enough to carry because Jiang Yanli Wei Yings sister child in arms , was quickly making her way down the steps her husband at her heals.

Lan Zhan can remember her reaching his side while asking him  what was happening and if his seen Wei Ying. Lan Zhan can feel him self briefly telling her of the events that have taken place, his eyes never straying off Jin Zixun increasingly smug smile, Jiang Yanlis anguished sob as he delivers the news that Wei Ying had died from being poisoned while staying here, that worried he had taken her brother to Wen Qing but by the time he arrived, it was to late and the poisoned wine left for Wei Ying had already done its damage. Lan Zhan remembers seeing Jin Zixuan inside his profile take both his wife and child into his arms with a look of pure shock and deviation directed to his Cousin. Lan Zhan can feel the rain that has started pouring, the pressure in his ears pumping…..

« He Was nothing but a dirty dog anyway who cares » Jin Zixun had sneered

That is the moment Lan Zhan feeling his Control snaps , the next thing he comprehends is Bichen blade is at Jin Zixuns throat the man’s sword is on he ground at their feet eyes wide with panic as he pleads and throws accusations towards Jin Guangshan and Jin Guangyao as being behind the wine that had been left for Wei Ying. Lan Zhan had noticed Jin Guangyao flee back into Carp tower as well as Wards go up ‘silently Lan Zhan had wondered if some of Jin Zixun fear came from the fact that the Wards that now  surrounded the tower Started at the top of the stairs leaving him defenseless. Lan Zhan didn’t hesitate and in the next moment two things happened The Pain and anger within his chest seemed to explode out, and the blade of Bichen relieving Jin Zixun of his head. Lan Zhan knows that they ( He, Wen Ning, Jiang Yanli and her small family at her her please to see her brother.) made it back to the Burial mounds, The next time Lan Zhan is fully conscious he could feel the difference within the power of his core and how his whole body of felt overly warm and that is all Lan Zhan remembers about reaching his own immortality. The war was latter won Jin Guangshan and Jin Guangyao dead some of the minor sect Leaders had fallen along with them such as Sect Leader was Yao, who died at Sect Leader Jiang‘s hand. Most of sect leader Jin’s supporters where smart enough to surrender such as the Ouyang sect. Lan Zhan had been voted to take on the roll as Chief Cultivator and shortly after Emperor since most where to afraid to challenge Lan Wangji with the known support of three of the now four great clans, (as The Jin Clan had lost many in the war, plus it had taken Jin Zixuan years to fully clean house) and Lan Zhan who before the war was originally from the Fourth. After the war Lan Zhan had purified the Burial Mounds of all resentful energy and making it his Empire’s Capital.

The city of Yiling is now thriving and the Burial Mounds beautifully green and back to its former glory, before it became a dumping ground for resentment, the air was back to being just as pure as the air in The Cloud Recesses. Over all the last 100 years have been as good as they could be. Some things  were still painful such as losing Granny Wen and later on Uncle four but throughout the years the small clan of the Burial Mounds (now the Imperial family and the Yiling dynasty) has grown and peace has reined. Though some things over the years haven’t changed for example, Lan Zhan still plays wàngjī in hopes of contacting Wei Yings soul every night, he still considers Sizhui to be his (their) son and holds both the Wen siblings in high regards.

Through all these years Lan Zhan has never taken a spouse or loved anyone else, his heart belonging forever to Wei Ying. Lan Zhan would  Wait for the opportunity to meet his love again no matter how long he had to wait he could be patient. Somedays of course will always be better than some, which is how Lan Zhan and Sizhui end up in town dressed down in fairly common robes.(Wen Ning sticking to the shadow following from behind, to let the father son duo have a chance to catch up with a since of privacy as Sizhui has been visiting his Uncle Lan Huan at the Cloud Recesses for the last month.) They had been heading back to the palace when he heard the laugh that stoped his whole world…. His head turned to the right side of the street and though it was getting late Lan Zhan could swear that a couple stalls down across the street was a person that looked and sounded like his Wei Ying ….. No it had to be his Wei Ying…. Lan Zhan could feel it within his own soul. Now that his love has returned to him Lan Zhan will stop at nothing to have Wei Ying  at his side again.

Chapter Text

The atmosphere around and in the Capital of Gusu, The Cloud Recesses, was unusually energetic as the many different royal families gathered together for this blessed day. Today was the day that the young Alpha Lan Huan, courtesy name Lan Xichen would be coronated in, taking his rightful place as Emperor and soon to be husband of the royal Omega Wei Ying, courtesy name Wei Wuxian, who is the only member from the royal line of Wei left. Wei Ying had been a small child when it had been decided by the elders that the pure royal omega who had been born with unique talents, such as empathy and frequent visions would be the perfect mate of the future Emperor. The people within the capital waited excitedly the air filled with an energetic energy as the crowd cheered with happiness…. all except a specific Alpha Lan Zhan courtesy Lan Wangji, heir and second prince of the Imperial family.

No,  Lan Zhan wasn’t happy at all ….no Lan Zhan’s blood boils. How could he be happy when his brother is getting ready to be crowned Imperial Emperor and with it take Wei Ying as his mate…. ‘Wei Ying who’s smile and laugh could rival the sun?………Who’s beauty and talents inspired envy in those around him but at the same time Wei Ying’s out going nature and good heart made it impossible not to love him…. And oh, how Lan Zhan loves Wei Ying.’ Lan Zhan has been in love with Wei Ying ever since Wei Ying was brought to the palace for his protection at the young age of five when it was decided that the young gifted Omega was Prophesied to be the mate of the next Emperor. Lan Zhan fell  almost immediately for the curiously smart, bright and beautiful Wei Ying on the spot and the feeling just grew as they grew up together. Lan Zhan was happy to be one of Wei Ying’s closest and most trusted friends other than Nie Husain who was the omega prince of the Nie family, Wei Ying’s omega head handmaiden Mo Xuanyu and Wei Yings personal beta guard Xue Yang (who was taken in and  assigned to protect Wei Ying after Wei Ying’s parents were assassinated on a trip away from the palace. ‘Thankfully Wei Ying had stayed at the palace, Lan Zhan shudders at what could of become of his Wei Ying if he wasn’t left at the palace.’) Lan Zhan has always made time for Wei Ying and he knows deep within his being that Wei Ying is his. Lan Zhan can’t quite explain it but he knows that Wei Ying was met to be at Lan Zhan’s side….his omega…even if Wei Ying and everyone else hasn’t figured it out yet. Lan Zhan loves Wei Ying , can’t be any one other than Wei Ying. That being said Wei Ying wasn’t Lan Zhan’s… no he was to married to the next Emperor as it has been prophesied and so it shall be so … ‘the only problem is as it stands at the moment Lan Xichen is to be Emperor at the moment not Lan Zhan’….

‘Lan Zhan loves his brother, he really does and there is nothing that Lan Zhan Wouldn’t give to his brother there would never be a moment where he didn’t have his brothers back….but Wei Ying was the only exception to that rule… no Lan Zhan hungered for Wei Ying in away Lan Zhan would never be able to put into the right words because there was no way to explain the burning desire that Lan Zhan felt for Wei Ying.’

Lan Zhan takes his eyes off of Wei Ying to focus in on the closing of the inaugural speech which has been repeated for generations.

“The Emperor your duty is to lead justly and to see to all the peoples needs, no matter their birth, nobility, or gender. As Emperor you shall lead with honor, Integrity, fairness and compassion, without biases you are to lead and to protect bring in a new area of peace and prosperity for both the kingdoms and the royal family.” Lan Qiren passed briefly to look over the royal families and the rest of the crowd before speaking “As has been the tradition for every new coronation, any who wishes to challenge the First Prince Lan Xichen for the throne and tittle of Imperial Emperor must speak now…..”

“I challenge.” The words are clear and spoken with our hesitation, and are almost out of his mouth as soon as the speaker is done with the speech. He speaks, he speaks even though he knows the weight of what he has just done.

Lan Qiren turned wide eyes to Lan Wangji but Lan Zhan doesn’t pay attention as he locks eyes with his brother before speaking louder again, not that it is needed as a ghostly hush has fallen over the crowd,

“I Lan Zhan, Lan Wangji second prince of Gusu Lan challenges Lan Xichen for the right to marry Wei Ying and the title of Emperor.”

Because to Lan Zhan that’s what this was really all about … ‘he wanted Wei Ying… Wei Ying had to Marry the Emperor…. The prophesy never specifically stated that Lan Xichen has to be the Emperor (Lan Zhan had checked the archives and talked with the older elder who had had the prophecy Lan Yi) Lan Zhan would do many things for his brother….’but he won’t lose Wei Ying.’

Lan Xichen nods at his brother never once losing his polite and kind smile, (even the smile dose hardens a little, though none but those closest to the First Prince would notice)before walking a bit closer in his brothers direction and stopping “Are you sure Wangji?”

“Em.” Lan Zhan States with a firm nod.

“Lan Wangji…” his uncle growls out (there are days that Lan Zhan wonders how the man a was born a beta and not an Alpha)

Lan Zhan doesn’t stand down turning his golden eyes on his uncle. “ I challenge. “

Lan Qiren huffs out a frustrated breath before announcing

“A challenge for the throne has been made……As Tradition dictates once a challenge has been issued the challenge must take place immediately, the one challenged picks the weapon…..the fight does not end until One of the participants surrenders admitting defeat or the death of a participant, which puts a stop to the challenge immediately. The Winner will be crowned Emperor and decides the losing parties fate if the defeated party is still alive at the end of the challenge. “

This rule is another reason that Lan Zhan feels completely comfortable with the challenge he is making.’He won’t need to kill his brother …. No….. to achieve his goal Lan Zhan just needs to get his brother to surrender’. Though he knows his brother is an amazing warrior in his own right Lan Zhan doesn’t feel worried….because even though he does not think himself able to kill his own brother…… Lan Zhan has no qualms about temporarily incapacitating his brother if it met Wei Ying would officially be his…. no there wasn’t much that Lan Zhan would deny his Wei Ying, once the omega was his legal and official mate.

The challenge goes the way Lan Zhan predicts his brother is a formable opponent but Lan Zhan does not hold back not when his inner Alpha is so restless at the thought of being so close to having Wei Ying….though his inner Alpha does preen at being able to fight and show off for his Wei Ying . Lan Zhan isn’t completely sure how long the fight lasts but when he sees an opening in his brothers defense tackling his brother to the ground and gaining the upper hand before placing the blade of the spear (his brothers chosen weapon for the challenge) to Lan Xichen’s throat..

“Surrender Brother…..I don’t want your life… Yield.” Lan Zhan growls putting some pressure on the wrist that tried to reach for the fallen weapon not far from the brothers.

Lan Xichen struggles for a second more releasing frustrated growls at his brother before stilling as the blade presses firmer …Lan Xichen does not wish to surrender…most Alpha hate surrendering (which is why many most challenges results in more to the death challenges than surrenders) but Lan Xichen can see it in his brothers eyes as the blade keeps him from moving…..his brother will not take failure as an option. Lan Huan has seen this look in his brothers eyes many times on the battle field when they fought to protect the lands but never has the look been  directed at him. Lan Xichen closes his eyes, ‘oh how today has turned out completely different than what he thought it would this morning. He was the be Emperor, he was to marry Wei Ying who he new he was to marry from a young age … his future that had been planned basically since his birth had just begun to take fruition and Lan Huan is not exactly sure where it went wrong but he knows his brother, he knows that look and when all is said and done he knows he doesn’t want to fight his younger brother,  no he doesn’t want to fight Lan Zhan especially not to the death so Lan Xichen dose the only thing he knows he can do.’
Lan Xichen First prince of Gusu Lan, opens his eyes to remake eye contact with his brother before uttering the one sentence that will forever change both of their paths and the destiny of a nation “I surrender.”

“I surrender “ Lan Zhan swears that the sentence is like music to his ears ….. ‘he has done it…. He’s won. Wei Ying is his’….. Lan Zhan drops the spear away from his brother before standing, taking a step back from where his brother is catching his breath, Lan Zhan eyes connect with Wei Ying’s who’s expression is one of shock but Lan Zhan can’t help the excited shudder that runs threw him as he stares into those silver pools ….’ Mine …. I won…he’s finally mine’… and Lan Zhan the new Imperial Emperor Smiles .

Chapter Text

He had been walking back to the inn he was staying at after a long and successful mission. The sun was setting and all Wen Zhuliu wanted to do was get to the inn so he could eat and rest. Though as luck would have have it Wen Zhuliu was about a lǐ from said inn when he heard shouting coming from one of the venders not far from him. Since it the sun was setting and the temperature was dropping as it tended to do in Yiling especially during this point in winter, so there were few people still around and most of the vendors have or where closing up shop. What had caught Wen Zhuliu attention was not in the fact that the vendor was yelling no, honestly Wen Zhuliu didn’t really care about the other people around him at all….no Wen Zhuliu might be one of the last people that people would consider a people person.

But again it wasn’t the fact that the vendor was yelling but instead it was the fact that the vendor was leaning down and yelling in the face of what looked like to be an under nourished child in rags that couldn’t be over the age of seven. The child seemed to be small and wearing thin dirty clothes if the dirty worn rags could be considered that. The child had no shoes, was filthy and far too thin. While the vendor continued yelling at the small child the hand that wasn’t rapped tightly around the child’s wrist was holding what looked from Wen Zhuliu point as old burnt bread. Wen Zhuliu was going to ignore the commotion knowing he had a long flight back to Qishan and to report on his mission to his sect leader Wēn Ruòhán, though that decision changed when the vendor decided to back hand the kid. Wen Zhuliu mentally cursed himself before quickly making his way to the stall.

“Problem?” Wen Zhuliu asked grabbing a hold of the vendors wrist, who still held the child(.. no … boy he could see now…)in a tight grip. The vendor a tall and lanky woman who reeked of too much scented oils looked up from the boy to him in surprise.

(Now that the woman was actually looking Wen Zhuliu could make out that the woman’s facial features, he was reminded of an ancient type a bird he couldn’t name off the top of his head. He could tell that the vendor was an older woman by her facial wrinkles, though going by her plastered makeup she seems to be going a long way to hide it.)

The vendors eyes widened even more when she took in his clan colors . The woman quickly released the child and gave a him a quick bow.

“This street rat was stilling from my stole“ the women spit out turning stormy eyes back to the boy.

“ Nuh…she’s lying… it was in the trash ….. she had thrown it away..” The boy said giving a small defensive shout before sniffing behind his small fist as the child rubbed his cheek.

“why you little…”the woman cried in fury raising her hand again.

“Lay your hand on the boy again and you will loose it .” Wen Zhuliu stated in a calm tone his eyes going from the boy , to the rock hard bread, to the vendor and back to the boy.

Wen Zhuliu took a deep breath as he started into the silver eyes in front of him before he settled his gaze back on the vendor. Reaching into his pocket Wen Zhuliu took out a piece of silver before dropping it on the ground in front of the bird like woman.

“For that monstrosity that you call bread.” Wen Zhuliu snarked before turning to the boy, “ follow me,” Wen Zhuliu turned from the boy and started walking back in the direction of his inn, hearing the child pause for a second before following.

“Where are your parents?” Wen Zhuliu grumbled out turning his head to look at the boy as they walked.

“They didn’t come back after night hunt, inn keeper kicked me out, but Wei Yings okay. “ the child said giving Wen Zhuliu a big smile.

“Wei Ying? Cangse Saren’s son?” Wen Zhuliu looked at the child curiously. The boy… Wei Ying stopped and stared at him with big eyes.

“You knew my mom?”

Wen Zhuliu had met Cangse Sanren a few times in his youth. He knew of the name Wei, almost everyone heard about how Cangse Sanren got married and went off roaming with her husband. A few years back there had been news that she and her husband had gone missing and that Jiang Fengmian was looking for their son. That being said Wen Zhuliu new the reputation of the Violet Spider and didn’t think that she would welcome the child with grace, not with the old rumors that Jiang Fengmian had been in love with Cangse Sanren .

Wen Zhuliu nodded and stared at the young boy for a moment. Wen Zhuliu knew he couldn’t take the boy to the Jiang sect but he also couldn’t just leave Wei Ying here alone, not after his mother had once saved his life…

The boy gazed back curiously at Wen Zhuliu. Taking a deep breath to calm his mind and collect his words Wen Zhuliu stated “I had known your mother in my youth, she had saved my life once during a night hunt,” as he stared down at the bright eyed child, Wen Zhuliu made up his mind sealing both their fates and asked the small child one last simply question, “Wei Ying how would you like to go home? “

“Home? Where’s home?” The boy asked rubbing one of his dirty fingers against the bridge of his nose.

Leaning down so he was eye level he stated “My home is in Qishan. I’m a cultivator in the Wen sect and if you would like, you can come back home with me…. you would live and study as my son and one day train to become a cultivator yourself, you may keep your Wei name, it would be a warm, dry place, with plenty of food where you could grow and learn.“ Wen Zhuliu stated plainly to the child, he wouldn’t lie and say it was nice or safe because Qishan is neither and Wen Zhuliu who was so used to people fearing him was almost certain that the young boy would turn and run so he was knocked off his feet when Wei Ying launched him self at Wen Zhuliu for a hug. After a second Wei Ying Pulled back with a huge smile.

“Yes please, Wei Ying would like to go.” Wen Zhuliu nodded at the boy feeling a small smile of his own pulling at his lips.

“Okay then.” With that Wen Zhuliu stood up moving Wei Ying still in his arms into a more comfortable position on his side before finally heading in the direction of his inn for the night.
