lirazel: Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji from The Untamed ([tv] 畢生知己)
As you may have noticed, I have upped both the chapter count and the rating. I ended up fleshing some things out to the point where it made sense to divide the last (already lengthy) chapter into two, and it now requires an M rating. I apologize if this is a problem for anyone, but it's what the story needed.

Title: use the wood brought in by the tide
Fandom: The Untamed, Módào Zǔshī - Mòxiāng Tóngxiù
Characters/Pairing: Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian, Jiang Yanli, Madam Yu, Jiang Cheng
Chapter: 4/5
Rating: M
Wordcount: 5,942
Warnings: This story features abuse from Madam Yu. I don't think it's overly graphic, but it is emotionally heavy and explores living with domestic abuse, so take care of yourself if you don't need to read it.
Additional tags: alternate universe - arranged marriage, hurt/comfort, warning for physical abuse, wwx is an adult but madam yu is madam yu, just keep in mind that the jiangs' a+ parenting is the backdrop for this fic, also featuring: falling in love with your husband, pining for your husband, sibling solidarity, dealing with your in-laws, lan wangji's typical inner maelstrom of emotions, wei wuxian whump, protective!lwj, lwj&jyl friendship, intimate hair brushing, and a happy wangxian ending
Summary:
Lan Wangji looks from face to face to face. All three of them are red-eyed and weary-looking. There is no feeling of resistance in the room. Everyone in this room knows how unjust Yu-furen’s reaction was. And yet not even Wei Ying, so quick to speak, to act when anyone else is the subject of unfairness, seems…resigned. Yes. That is the word. They are all resigned.

It curdles in Lan Wangji’s stomach, the knowledge that this must be a common occurrence. He had known that things were not right in the Jiang family, but he had not known that they were like this.



Months into his arranged marriage to the head disciple of the Jiang sect, Lan Wangji confronts family dynamics unlike any he has encountered before.

(The fact that he's desperately in love with his husband only complicates things.)
