Nobody at all asked, but...
Dec. 23rd, 2022 05:43 pmThe problem with having the Untamed fandom as your main fandom is definitely not thinking of plot bunnies, I'll tell you that right now. I always have an endless amount of ideas. I just haven't written them because they would end up being at least 50k words long (or, you know, 100k) and I do not have the stamina for that.
CQL fics I would write if I had the time and energy:
+ The mpreg Jiang Cheng fic that Snick can't write me because she's not in this fandom. Jiang Cheng needs a daughter. I think this would probably be an AU before the Burial Mounds arc. But it could possibly be post-Wei Wuxian's death. I would really lean into the Jiang Cheng-is-ace reading in this one. It would basically be the equivalent of Seraph only with Jiang Cheng instead of Spike.
+ The one where Jiang Cheng goes to the Burial Mounds and finds Lan Wangji searching for Wen Yuan. When he sees what the Lan have done to Lan Wangji and hears that LWJ plans to take Wei Wuxian's son back to Gusu with him, Jiang Cheng is like, "Oh hell no." Lan Wangji passes out from blood loss and Jiang Cheng takes him and Yuan to Lotus Pier. When Lan Wangji wakes up, Jiang Cheng convinces him to stay and they become single dads together. (Someone has written this fic--actually, someone has written a number of the fics on this list--but not like I'd write it.)
+ Mo Xuanyu is a cis woman, but still sacrifices her body for Wei Wuxian. I just think everything that happens post-time jump would be very interesting if Wei Wuxian were in a body that everyone perceives as female. I think he would not care very much what kind of body he's in except when he and Lan Wangji get together, he'd be like, "Oh, no, Lan Zhan is gay! Very gay! What if he doesn't want me now?" And of course LWJ is gay, but he is mostly Wei Ying-sexual and also not a TERF. This is Wei Ying, and Wei Ying is male. It's not that complicated.
He still wants WWX to rail him though, so pegging ensues.
+ A fic wherein after Mianmian defects from the Jin sect, Jiang Cheng recruits her to the Jiang. Everything else happens according to canon, except this time when Jiang Cheng loses everyone he loves, he has someone by his side. They raise Jin Ling together and, knowing me, probably fall in love. Or maybe just become bffs. Either way, they become ride-or-die for each other. I just feel like if Jiang Cheng had had an adult someone on his side through all those years, things would have gone so much better for him, and Mianmian is not the kind of person who would take his shit. I think they'd suit each other pretty well.
+ A post-canon fic about Wei Wuxian slowly, slowly winning Lan Qiren over. Lan Qiren resists it for a long time, and even after he softens towards Wei Wuxian, he pretends he hasn't. But eventually they become bffs and argue over theory for hours, pretending to be very grumpy with each other but really enjoying it completely.
+ Jiang Yanli becomes Jiang sect leader after her parents die and then after canon happens, she still lives and becomes CHIEF CULTIVATOR. We deserve Chief Cultivator Jiang Yanli.
+ Wen Qing steals the throne from Wen Ruohan and then takes Jiang Cheng as her consort. Jiang Yanli is head of Jiang sect. Between the two of them, they figure out a way to bring the war to an end. This is basically just Girlboss: The Fic.
+ Mianmian goes to Qiongqi Path with Wei Wuxian and ends up going to the Burial Mounds with them and then Mianmian/Wen Qing ensues.
+ Wei Wuxian and Wen Qing have to get married for some reason. Cue Lan Wangji and Jiang Cheng being very depressed and full of yearning. The marriage goes great, actually--Wei Wuxian and Wen Qing are a great team--but also they're not in love. Eventually they figure out this lavender marriage thing and Wangxian and Chengqing ensue.
+ WWX and the Wens are left alone in the Burial Mounds and Yuan is raised there. Fifteen years later, WWX and WQ finally decide it's okay to engage with the world again. Cue Wen Yuan engaging with the world outside of the Burial Mounds for the first time and meeting Lan Jingyi and falling in love.
+ A rewrite of the second half of canon where Jin Ling is a girl. I just think Jin Ling should have been a girl. Imagine Jiang Cheng raising a bratty little princess. I want it.
+ Fic where baby Wei Wuxian is found by the Wens before Jiang Fengmian can find him and is raised by the Wens. When Wen Ruohan decides to attack the rest of the cultivation world, Wei Wuxian has to make a lot of complicated moral choices that are only made more complicated by how drawn he is to this Lan Wangji guy who should definitely be his enemy.
+ A what-if about how things might have gone down if Lan Wangji and Jiang Cheng found out about the golden core while they're watching Wei Wuxian confront Wen Chao and Wen Zhuliu after the three months of radio silence.
+ A what-if about how Lan Wangji might figure out that Wei Wuxian is back if Wei Wuxian didn't play Wangxian. How long would it take? What would finally make him figure it out?
+ The Jiang siblings get thrown into the Burial Mounds with Wei Wuxian. I just want dark!Yunmeng Siblings!!!
