    Summary

    Han Ruzuo wouldn’t presume to know better than his Sect Leader. Between the two of them, one had fought in a war and rebuilt a sect from practically nothing, while the other had spent the first eleven years of life cultivating rice instead of a golden core.

    It was only because of the Yunmeng Jiang’s desperate need for cultivators that Ruzuo was at Lotus Pier.

    However, even Han Ruzuo understood that taking in a demonic cultivator was an objectively strange decision.

    Summary

    Since the tender age of 9, Jiang Cheng has been convinced there is something growing within his chest.

    He fancies it might be a rose bush, full of thorns that poke his lungs everytime his father praises Wei Wuxian while his mother compares his lacking skills to his adopted brother and his sister dotes on the older boy, first and foremost. Or maybe it's a cactus, one that parches his throat dry with a hacking cough when all his friends favor the cooler Jiang sibling and dismiss his minuscule insecurities. But sometimes he contemplates if it's poison ivy wrapping tightly around his esophagus, causing uncomfortable irritation when his childhood crush, flawless Lan Xichen doesn't notice him the way Jiang Cheng notices everything about the older boy.

    He might not be certain what it is, but all he knows is that he is growing something so magnificent and indescribable.

    And it hurts.

    Yet no one believes him when he mentions the pain, when somedays the basic skill of breathing doesn't come easy. He catches the eye rolls, hears the scoffs, fumes at the blatant teasing, and clams up at the scolding he receives for his "exaggeration".

    Though perhaps his imagination wasn't too far off the mark.

    Summary

    Sometimes, when things get to being a little too much, when the restless lightning in his bones stings in his marrows, when the dark clouds in his head whisper too loudly, Jiang Cheng goes to the water. Things are… better, in ways, now that he knows that his br - that Wei Wuxian is still alive, but war and violence leaves scars deeper than skin and bone and muscle, and sometimes, the prickling phantom pain is too much for a man to bear.

    So Jiang Cheng goes to the water.

    --

    Jiang Cheng's unhealthy coping mechanisms do not involve hugging. Wen Ning intends to fix that.

    Jiang Cheng wants to force the thought from his mind, but his stupid, foolish brain has already launched into a playthrough of the scene. How Jin Guangshan’s mouth will drop open when he hears, a vein throbbing in his temple. How Madame Jin and all the senior disciples will whisper in shock, pressing their sleeves over their mouths. How Jin Zixuan will look at him in horror, reeling back. Skilled cultivator or not, why would he want to trade the elegant Lady Jiang for her surly brother?

    Or: Jiang Cheng volunteers to take his sister's place in her arranged marriage. What he didn't expect is that his new fiancé is the least of his problems.

    Summary

    When Wei Wuxian turns to his brother, he catches an odd expression pinching his face, before it melts away under the attention of his father, like a flower reaching for the warmth of the sun. He notes the stiff line of his brother’s shoulders and slight preening as the sect leader acknowledges him.

    Summary

    “Does bonding with you mean you’re mine?” he asked with nearly a childlike wonder.

    Gasps erupted behind them.

    Familiars did not speak aloud.

    Shen Jiu ignored everyone else completely.

    “It means you're mine,” he corrected coolly.

    The creature’s eyes narrowed pleasantly.

    “Ah,” it said softly. “That works too.”

    Shen Jiu wants a powerful familiar. An intelligent familiar. A familiar worthy of the Academy's top student.

    What he gets is Shen Yuan.

    Or:

    Shen Jiu accidentally summons an eldritch horror with the personality of an affectionate cat and discovers that everyone else's survival instincts are dramatically overdeveloped.

    Summary

    The flower disease isn't always fatal. The petal-crying variant, for example, is more often painful or embarrassing than deadly. Coughs can be suppressed with medicine. There’s not much to be done about the blood variant of the disease—that one’s nasty, as one would expect when someone has plant matter gunking up their veins—but meditation and regular qi infusions help tamp down symptoms of all kinds. Best-case scenario, the feelings, and the need to share them, fade in time, and then huzzah, problem solved.

    …Or, the person processes their emotions and, instead of disgorging flowers, spews their secrets to the person who caused their ailment and thus returns to health pretty much instantly! (Or so people say, but that cure’s not very common. Wei Wuxian can’t imagine why.)

    - - -

    Wei Wuxian, after several years of wandering, comes to stay at Lotus Pier for medical treatment.

    “Lady Jiang is a guest. She’s Wei Wuxian’s sister!”
    “And I’m the Empress of Heaven!” Sha Hualing snipes back. “What do I care?” She turns pouty, sidling up to Wen Qing and draping herself over her arm. “Only I get to make Qingqing laugh.”
    “Don’t call me that.”

    Or: Somehow, Wen Qing has wound up with a demonic wife who whines, pouts, and threatens her guests with knives. At least she's cute.

    Hanguang-Jun is well known for being a man of integrity who is scrupulously fair, except Jiang Cheng knows that does not apply when it comes to him.

    Jiang Cheng had however still done his duty and submitted a petition to Hanguang-Jun with a request to have the upcoming conference which is to be held at Cloud Recesses, be moved forward by a few days.
    Hanguang-Jun, under the title of Chief Cultivator, had summarily denied the request.

     

    OR Jiang Cheng reaches his limit and says never again.

    “...What is it?” Jin Ling ventures, knowing whatever Ouyang Zizhen suggests won’t end well.
    Ouyang Zizhen rises from the low table; now that all focus has shifted to him, he’ll preen in it until someone wrestles it away. He puffs his chest out, placing his hands on his hips and looking imperiously towards the inn roof.
    “We’re not going to let your uncle be tragically alone all his life! We’re going to find Sandu Shengshou a Cultivation Partner!”

    Summary

    "Jiang Cheng was lost, stumbling through a forest. He had no idea where he was, nor did he care. His parents were dead. Yanli and Wei Wuxian were dead. His entire clan — everyone he had built up during the Sunshot campaign and the siege of Yiling — had abandoned him."

    After the Burial Mounds Siege, Jin Ling was taken away to be raised at Golden Carp Tower. Jiang Cheng loses all sense of self, and ends up somehow at the foot of a mysterious mountain caught by an ethereal beauty.
    This takes place post-svsss (transmigrators included) and about a month after the yiling siege
