Alluring Secret - Black Vow AU

The wingless fallen angel surrendered himself to the contract of evil. In the past they even loved each other, he ended it by his own hand.

A stray heartbroken angel wandered in a town at dusk…

Wei Wuxian groans, the injury he took from those dastardly evil Wens sends sparks of pain through his body; as an angel, he isn’t used to bleeding by a wound on his chest or overall pain, yet he won’t complain about it, the devils’ Wen’s brand that now marks his skin came from protecting his heavenly sister Jiang Yanli. It hurts, but he will take this pain every day over the alternative, better him than his precious Shijie.

Wei Wuxian looks up, in the heavenly realm there’s a war going on, the demon’s race known as the Wens raised against the pure heavens on the orders of the devil himself Wen Ruohan, only thanks to his informants, a pair of half-demons Wen, they could put up a battle against the evil beings that believed themselves superior.

‘Of course, not everything went according to plan’ he mutters as another wave of pain knocks him down, the thing with the demon’s marks is that they are not only skin-burning, but they also release a slow-acting poison that eats an angel’s powers away, with Wei Wuxian’s level of heavenly cultivation, the poison should run its course in a few days instead of outright killing him, with an insane level of pain instead, but at least he will live

“Fuck!” he groans as he stands up, he needs to find Wen Qing to get the antidote soon. The sooner he gets cured, the sooner he can go back to battle

Came across by boy with beautiful golden eyes

Wei Wuxian walks to the end of an alleyway and finally collapses on the ground, the bleeding barely stopped but the pain keeps going to unbearable levels, his breathing gets more and more laborious. Just when he is about to pass out, he hears footsteps coming his way, at first he is not too worried, humans aren’t supposed to see them as heavenly beings they are, still, his beautiful white wings try to cover him up with little success

“Are you alright?” a deep yet soft voice sounds over him, Wei Wuxian paralyzes for a second, no one is supposed to see him, even in this vulnerable state he’s supposed to be invisible to the human eye! Cautiously the angel looks up to the most gorgeous pair of golden eyes he has ever seen, distantly he thinks the ethereal man gasps, but Wei Ying can’t hear it very well over the sound of his own heart beating loudly practically on his ears

Wei Wuxian is a very popular angel, he is acquainted with at least half of the population in heaven (or at least he likes to think so), but even so, he would remember if there was an angel as beautiful as the man in front of him. As silver meets gold, his heart starts beating faster for an entirely different reason than the poison in his veins; he can feel a distinct heat over his face and he is pretty much certain that he is blushing. How pathetic he can be to fall for a human in this situation?! Nie Huaisang and Jiang Cheng are going to have a field day with this!!

“You can see me?” is what his mouth says unhelpfully

“You are bleeding” the gorgeous human gets closer to him, his pristine white robes touching the ground, the unknown man’s hands are in his line of sight now, slender and large fingers motioning at him “Let me help you”

Wei Wuxian feels himself nod and his hand reaching out before finally succumbing to the poison and passing out

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is just a little something I had in my “stories” file, hope you enjoyed it and if you’d like to read more about it let me know, you may actually rescue me from my writer’s block! :D

Continuation of this

The Yiling Laozu and the Yiling Wei Sect were called to war three months after the Sunshot Campaign started, but in truth, Wei Wuxian joined the efforts against QishanWen quite early

It all started during the last trip to move the Wen siblings to the Burial Mounds when he and Meng Yao happened to pass close to a certain cave that reeked of resentful energy; of course, as the grandmaster of the Demonic Cultivation, the young Wei Wuxian had to investigate. It was good that he had trained every person that came to live in the Burial Mounds to withstand and protect themselves from the resentful energy, or Meng Yao would’ve passed out when they reached the underground lake

“A turtle” Meng Yao deadpans seeing the monstrous creature that thrashes around trying to break Wei Wuxian’s shield

“Ah!” the 14-year-old kid realizes “Popo talked us about this! The ancient turtle… uh… the Xuanwu!” Meng Yao remembers the story about the semi-divine turtle, the Xuanwu of slaughter

“Great… now what?” he crosses his arms, he has his own sword forged by Wei Wuxian and himself, but if a thousand cultivators couldn’t kill this thing, what makes anyone think that two kids can? they can’t. At least not with spiritual energy

Wei Wuxian considers it for a moment, the Xuanwu has a lot of resentful energy, but it is not the most he can feel inside the cave. One perk of being adopted by the Burial Mounds as a whole (after almost dying 2 times but who is counting?), is that the ghosts and the fallen gods taught him to use both spiritual and resentful energy, so he mastered both paths when he was 8 (those two almost deaths don’t count!!), so he does what he knows best

In another world, he would’ve wondered if it was possible to use the victims against the executioner, in this one he does exactly that. ‘There’s not much love for the semi-divine turtle here’ he thinks as he raises the ghosts of centuries of victims against the creature, effectively killing it. In doing that, he also discovers a black sword, full to the brim of resentment

“You think Subian will feel replaced?” he jokes as he tries the sword, he can feel the thrumming of energy, and distantly he can hear the screams, though it’s nothing like the Burial Mounds back when he first entered. Meng Yao takes a look without getting too close

“I think Chengqin will feel threatened” he counters, and sure enough the dizi is letting a small tendril of dark energy out in displeasure. Wei Ying chuckles

“Aw it’s okay” he pats the precious flute that he so painfully carved day after day so many years ago “I still have to purify and tame this one, will see if it can be used later”

After taking one tooth as a trophy and some other parts for experimentation, Wei Wuxian and Meng Yao seal and hide the cave, writing purifying symbols in the wards to ensure the cleansing and rest of all the poor victims of the demonic turtle

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Three years later, Wen Chao drags the heirs all over the mountain, trying to find the mysterious prey some say there’s on the mountain but without success. When the unsuspecting heir tries to enter a warded cave for the fifth time, the backlash is so strong Wen Zhuliu has to take him in arms to rush back to the city to a healer, of course, the hostages heirs take this chance to escape.

Nobody knows who or what put such an impressive ward in a normal-looking cave, but nobody asks, they focus on getting back to their respective sects safely

One month later, the Jiang Sect is saved from full destruction by remarkably similar wards

Surface Pressure

Wei Wuxian is the strongest disciple in all the Yunmeng Jiang Sect, he was even granted the title of Head Disciple when he was 12 years old!

Sometimes Madam Yu berates Jiang Cheng for this, for not being strong enough, for not being better than the son of a servant and a rogue, but even this doesn’t happen often, even so, Jiang Cheng will always feel bad for not being enough at his mother’s eyes and he will be feeling down for the rest of the day the few times that this happens

Wei Wuxian tries to not feel too guilty about it because he doesn’t have a choice, he has to be stronger, faster, smarter, and better than anyone else! He has to train harder than any other disciple, to meditate and expand his Qi beyond his own limits, to develop his golden core more and faster than any of his peers.
Because if not, he can’t protect his family
Because if not, he’ll be weak and disposable
Because he is blind

He wasn’t always blind though, he was born with beautiful, seeing, silver eyes that looked at everything around him with deep curiosity… But then, during a night hunt, the monster that took his parents from him also landed a direct hit to his head and eyes.

Even so, the change wasn’t immediate

Young Wei Ying spent a few months on the streets before his sight began to deteriorate, with good medical treatment and a strong golden core he could’ve been cured… but instead, the stress, danger, infections that his small developing core couldn’t fight, dogs, multiple injuries in all his body (in his head) and the non-existing medical care finally robbed him from his vision just a year before Jiang Fengmian found him

By then, the healers of Lotus Pier couldn’t do anything to reverse the process, the kid had lost his eyesight, he was blind. The medical team couldn’t do anything about it, but they still taught him to “see”; they taught him that by using his Qi in his eyes, he could see the spiritual energy of every living being, and the more Qi he used, the more Qi he had, the better his “sight” was.

So he started his ridiculously hard training regimen

At first, Madam Yu had grumbled about him once or twice, but in all honesty, it was kind of her fault

After the leaders learned about the kid’s blindness, the woman, in a few moments of pure spite, hate and bitterness, had threatened the child to throw him into the streets again if he ever proved to be a weakness for the Sect.

She never really meant it, but the kid always took it seriously

Everyone in Lotus Pier knows about it… the reason why their Da shixiong is so strong, Jiang Cheng might be dissatisfied with himself for being weaker, but he never is bitter about his brother being stronger. He understands that Wei Wuxian needs the strongest golden core to be able to see

Also, it’s almost impossible to be mad at him, even if he is mischievous and appears to be arrogant at times, Wei Wuxian is also bright and fiercely loyal, and, how can Jiang Cheng be seriously mad at him when the kid keeps stumbling and crashing against trees and walls and overall being clumsy as hell??

He can’t, that’s how. And not only him, but the entirety of the Jiang Sect is really protective of their Da shixiong, they try not to show it out of respect, but really they can’t help it!

Especially Jiang Yanli! She is the most overprotective member of the sect; even if her cultivation isn’t strong, she has become the resident master in the healing arts and protective talismans

Both she and Wei Wuxian spend hours inventing dozens of talismans and arrays together; it was something that Wei Ying came up with in the first place (“It’s alright if you can use your sword shijie, look! today they taught us about this talisman, but I thing that if you invert the symbols…”). Wei Wuxian invents hundreds by himself as well, most of them are ones that make his life easier: a communication talisman, Qi infused paper so he can read, a talisman to help him with directions, etc.

While he and Yanli are masters in talismans and wards, he and Jiang Cheng are masters at archery. Whereas Jiang Cheng is actually the best archer at any given moment, Wei Wuxian can only shoot and hit marks that have some sort of spiritual signature, normal kites, or targets he can’t see them.

In the cultivation world much is said about the Twin Jades of Gusu Lan, especially in the north. In the south though, everyone talks about the Three Lotus of Yunmeng Jiang, with the emphasis on the Head Disciple of the sect; everyone says how bright he is, how genius and strong he is. No one says he is blind… because no one knows.

By the time the disciples go to Gusu for the lectures, the three children have a fearsome reputation. They arrive a week early, to let Wei Wuxian get used to the place and learn to navigate it, no one says anything about it

Wei Wuxian doesn’t have any problems being blind, he is already accustomed to it and he is even a little proud of what he has accomplished even with his condition, but there are times, such as this, that he is a little more than annoyed about his spiritual sight

Wei Ying takes one step inside the wards around Cloud Recess and instantly he has a massive headache. He felt the energy from the outside, but he never expected it to be this bright!! The Jiang siblings look at him concerned and take him to the healers (the Jiang Sect only tell about Wei Wuxian’s blindness to two people: the Lan Sect Leader, Lan Xichen, and the head healer Lan Hui)

Afterward, in the middle of the night, Wei Wuxian wakes up for some reason and he can’t go back to sleep. So, feeling restless, he goes for a walk (adjusting his Qi to lessen the brightness of Cloud Recess), only to get lost in the next few minutes; at some point, he takes a turn somewhere and crashes, head first, into a cultivator with the purest, most bright and beautiful spiritual energy he has ever seen

His breath actually hitches and he is pretty sure he is gapping and possibly blushing

He opens his mouth to say something, anything, when the stranger beats him to it

“Venturing out at night is prohibited in the Cloud Recess”

And that is how Wei Wuxian meets the second Jade of Gusu Lan, Lan Wangji

Sanctuary

Wei Ying was 6 years old when he entered the Burial Mounds and it adopted him. By that time he had been fighting dogs for scraps for a year and a half, and it was one of the same beasts that drove him to the outskirts of Yiling, we kept wondering out of curiosity and hope that he might find a place to stay, a place where he could be safe, a place where he could belong.

He found it

.-.-.-.-.

Meng Yao was 13 years old when he and his mother arrived at Yiling, his father had tossed him down the stairs of Koi Tower, and after an incident in the brothel they couldn’t stay in Yunping, they had no idea where to go, but Sisi helped them

“The rumors say the Yiling Laozu can help,” She told them as she put all her own savings in young Meng Yao’s hands “that he can fulfill any wishes for the right price”

Meng Yao didn’t believe that, but they had no place to go and in any case, Yiling was far enough of Lanling and Yuping so he worked and worked until he and his mother were able to afford the trip. He kept working along the way, hoping to be able to afford whatever price was needed to ensure his and his mother’s safety

When they reached the base of the mountains, of the Burial Mounds, they found a little shrine, they had discussed that one of them hide in case things went wrong, but in the end, neither he nor Meng Shi wanted to leave the other, they only had each other now

So they walked and reach the shrine, there was an unnatural amount of dark fog, resentment the other cultivators they meet on their way called it. Meng Yao noted the very second they stopped being alone, he tensed and his mother bowed next to him, pressuring him to do the same

“Yiling Laozu, we, humble servants come to you to ask for your protection” his mother’s voice was firm even if a bit rough from the new disease that was starting to take root in her lungs

It did not pass a full minute until a small figure stepped out of the shadows, if he wasn’t an expert in keeping his emotions in check, Meng Yao would’ve gaped. In front of him was a child, one a few years younger than he himself

“What sort of protection do you seek?” He asked them with a childish voice

Meng Yao was 13 years old when he and his mother went looking for safety.

They found it

.-.-.-.-.

Xue Yang was 5 years old when he was tossed into the Burial Mounds, the man had tricked him to give a letter that only resulted in him getting beat up, after, the same man tried to get rid of him, he would’ve succeeded and possibly hurt him badly, but then, the kid made a scene

“YOU ARE A BAD MAN!!!” the child yelled, making everyone turn to look at them, the cultivator, Chang Ci'An flushed embarrassed, even if the kid was a street rat, it was still a small one, it started to look very bad for him “BAD MEN LIKE YOU WILL BE PUNISHED!! YILING LAOZU WILL COME FOR YOU!!” the brat screamed one of the most common threats he heard in the alleys. It had been roughly two years since people started whispering about the shadow demon that roamed the Burial Mounds and controlled the fierce corpses that tried to get into the town

The cultivator flushed bright red, both from embarrassment and also from the secret fear he felt, for he too had listened to the rumors and stories

“You want to meet Yiling Laozu? Then so be it!” he grabbed young Xue Yang from his collar and mounting his sword he flew as fast as he could until he was over the mass grave. For a moment he paused, feeling the doubt creeping in, it would be easy to just toss the kid in Yiling, where he couldn’t bother him anymore, but then the kid started to spit out insult after insult, making the rage reach its peak “Tell the Yiling Laozu I send my regards” he sneered as the let go

Xue Yang had a moment of pure fear as he fell, then, the darkness engulfed him

Xue Yang wakes to the kind face of a woman, she reassures them that he is alive, that he is safe. He is inside a shack, inside there’re also two young men, one looking at him with slightly apprehension and the other with open curiosity

“Welcome to the Burial Mounds” the curious one chirps, he has silver eyes and a sunshine-like smile

Xue Yang was 5 years old when he was tossed into the Burial Mounds. Once, he hoped to find a family

He found it

-.-.-.-.-.

Wen Qing was 17 years old when she arrived at the Burial Mounds to ask for help

She was from a branch of the Qishan Wen Sect, her family resides in Dafan Mountain, a few years ago, her uncle, Wen Ruohan had killed her parents because they refused to make poison for him. Since then, Wen Ruohan took her and her little brother under his wing, threatening her compliance with the safety of her brother and extended family.

Wen Ning was barely 10 years old when they started to listen the rumors, the ones about a shadow roaming Yiling, then, a demon who fulfilled wishes; then, about people starting to willingly enter the Burial Mounds. Wen Ning turn 13 years old when his older sister decided to take them there

When Wen Qing turned 17 and her brother turned 13, she had a vision. Nothing dramatic or prophetic, she just saw her uncle’s actions, and, logically followed them until she reached her conclusion: War.

At some point, not too far, the sects would go to war against Qishan Wen, and whoever won would take over her family. Wen Ruohan had them already under his thumb, he could send them to fight at his own whim, without caring if they live or die; the other sects could decide all Wens were guilty and torture them or kill them. Either way, they lose. Wen Qing didn’t want that future for her family. So, taking advantage of a night hunt she goes to Yiling.

The entrance of the Burial Mounds doesn’t look as grand as Wen Qing would’ve imagined; there’s a rundown shrine with offerings, a dark fog surrounds the area, she represses the shiver the resentment gives her. After a few minutes, a figure emerges from the darkness, Wen Qing tenses, even if the young man looks barely older than her brother, anyone who manages to live inside a mass grave is considered as dangerous according to her

“Yiling Laozu” she says as she bows as low as her dignity allows her “This lowly healer come to you seeking for your help”

“How may this Yiling Laozu be of service?” the kid gives a tentative bow

“I seek refuge for me and my family”

In the end, it takes six months to move the Dafan Wen to Yiling.

Wen Qing is 17 years old and Wen Ning is 13 years old when they entered the Burial Mounds looking for protection

They found it

.-.-.-.-.

Mo Xuanyu was 5 years old when his mother brought him to the Burial Mounds

His mother was the second young mistress in the Mo Clan, she was 15 years old when Jin Guangshan approach her. The “romance” last roughly two years until she got pregnant; the young Mo girl truly thought that Sect Leader Jin would come for her, for his son at least, but her dreams were crushed by Madam Jin, who she stumbles upon during one night-hunt she was having with Madam Yu. By then, Madam Jin had the ability to accurately recognize her husband’s bastards, which was what happened with young Xuanyu when he was playing in the town

The Madam didn’t chase her out of the village, but she might as well have when she almost laughed at the promises Guangshan had made to the young girl in front of the Mo manor. After the cultivators left, her older sister Mo furen, kicked her out of the house, calling her a disgrace for the Clan

The pair of mother and child then walked and walked, looking for someplace to stay, somewhere warm and dry… but there weren’t many places like that that wouldn’t try something more perverse with a young, beautiful, desperate mother. During the travels, the young mistress heard the tale of the Yiling Laozu, the demon who fulfilled wishes and took strays under his wing, there were talks and rumors about a new Yiling Wei sect, but nothing concrete, the only things that were consistent were that the Yiling Laozu could fulfill wishes for a price and that the Burial Mounds now was a place for the ones who didn’t have a place to go. So young Mo Ning took her child and made her way to Yiling

The mother and the child were hovering in the outskirts of Yiling, near the shrine where offerings and hunt requests were placed. She was unsure of what to do next, the dark fog was very intimidating; her nerves were such that she didn’t notice the young man walking towards them

“Hello” the polite man saluted her, she flinched and hastily bowed to him “Are you perhaps looking for the Yiling Laozu?” he gave them a smile that looked friendly enough, at least his dimples made it look friendly

“Yes gongzi” she bowed as low as she is used to as the daughter of a servant, her child clumsy follows her. She didn’t see the wary look the man gives to her son, also recognizing the Jin genes “We hoped to ask for a place to stay, at least until my son is older and can provide for himself… I am the daughter of a servant so I can pay our stay with work!” she hurried to add

The young man contemplated for a second before he moved to raise her from her bow

“It’s alright guniang” he reassured her “Come on, follow me” he instructed as he started to walk towards the dark fog

Mo Ning took her son’s hand tightly and did as instructed

Mo Xuanyu was 5 years old when his mother brought them both to the Burial Mounds in search of a new home

They found it

-.-.-.-.-.

Meng Yao is 19 years old, Xue Yang 10 years old, Wen Qing 20 years old, Wen Ning 16 years old, and Mo Xuanyu 7 years old when a letter arrives to the relative new Yiling Wei Sect about the start of the Sunshot Campaign

Wei Ying, courtesy name Wuxian, master of demonic cultivation, Yiling Laozu and Sect Leader of Yiling Wei, is 17 years old when he closes the wards surrounding the Burial Mounds and goes to war

Next

WangXian personality swap

So I was watching this and the idea was born!
It goes like this:

• Wei Ying’s parents die when he is 4, and the hotel where his parents left him charged him with labor, treating him like a servant until they eventually kicked him out a year later, he still spends 4 years on the street, earning food and the occasional roof over his head working for a lot of different people. He learns to be meek and quiet to avoid beatings; when Sect Leader Jiang finds him when he is 9 yo, he keeps his low profile and servitude under Madam Yu’s watchful eyes, who doesn’t want to have anything to do with the brat until she sees Wei Ying protect Jiang Cheng from a rabid dog, despite the small kid shaking in fear, from then on, the Matriarch takes Wei Wuxian under her wing, personally training him
• On the other side, in Gusu, Lan Wangji suffers his mother’s absence, but while he normally is a shy, introverted type of child, he now remembers the last words of his mother to him “A-Zhan looks so cute when he smiles, your smile is like gentle moonlight in a dark sky, won’t A-Zhan keep smiling for mother?”. A few months after little Lan Zhan understood that his mother wasn’t opening the doors ever again, he cried on his brother’s arms, telling him between sobs how much he wanted to be the smiling child his mother wanted him to be, Lan Huan promised himself to help his little brother in anything he needed, even in this
• So Wei Wuxian grows with his mother’s talent and strength and his father’s personality and looks. Under Madam Yu’s training he flourishes as the perfect bodyguard for the sect heirs, he raises as head disciple and no one bats an eye, because is the perfect position for him to take his place as Jiang Cheng’s right hand man when the times comes, he is serious and seemingly cold with his silver eyes that glare the other disciples to perfect behavior when the leaders are near. But everyone in Lotus Pier know that he still has a soft spot for the younger juniors and that both Jiang kids are fiercely protective of their brother, being that many people used to bullied him, feared him or pushed him aside for his stern looks and position in the sect
• While Lan Wangji could never be someone one would call ‘extroverted’, he grows up to be considerably friendlier than when he was younger. His uncle still points him as head disciplinarian, and with this responsibility he takes care of not only reinforce the disciplines, but also to explain why they are necessary and to ensure that every punishment is fair
• They both met the first night of the lectures, when one Jiang disciple gets caught after curfew, Wei Wuxian almost sighs and glares at him, as the head disciple, is his duty to ensure all his shidis are behaving correctly as their standing requires and that they don’t cause troubles. He grabs the disciple by the neck of his robe (he is not fond of human contact after his years in the street) and makes him and he himself bow to the Lan disciple who caught his shidi climbing the roofs after hours. When he raises with an apology in his mouth he has to stop for a moment, because in front of him is the most beautiful person he has ever seen, with a soft smile that shines beautifully like the full moon in the sky, with golden eyes that speak of amusement more than annoyance for the obvious rule breaking; Wei Wuxian feels his heart melt a little when those gorgeous eyes look at him with open curiosity
• Lan Wangji is curious, he has heard stories about the impressive, cold head disciple of the Jiang Sect, but he never thought the guy could be so handsome! clean features, silky head, beautiful silver eyes and elegant poise, besides, over the weeks he also shows to be a dedicated student, and excellent mentor to his sect siblings, ugh, a person can’t be this perfect but also this cold!, Lan Wangji despairs.
