Meta: Genocide in the Earth-Minbari war? A new and improved objective analysis. Canonicity and the consequences of terminology. by Ad Astra (Itur_Ad_Astra)
Fandoms: Babylon 5, Babylon 5: Legend of the Rangers, Babylon 5 & Related Fandoms

Summary
Second only to scripture, novels are the books that "change readers' lives". Fiction matters.
To not use "genocide" to describe genocide is inhumane and unconscionable.
Leading genocide scholars also advise:
"When genocide is used in a loose and irresponsible manner ... it diminishes the significance of and minimizes those actions that are truly genocidal in nature" -Dr. Totten, Genocide Studies and Prevention
"rhetorical issues are of some importance because calling every abuse or crime a genocide makes it steadily more difficult to rouse people to action when a genuine genocide is taking place." - Dr. Ignatieff, Lemkin memorial lecture.
This work examines the Earth-Minbari war of B5 canon, (as per JMS), in the context of international law & definitions by renowned genocide scholars.
If the B5 E-M war fits any such definition, we have a responsibility to call it so.
If -only if- it does not, then we should think about our use of the term, and if it's worth risking the trivialization that genocide scholars warn of.

What if, when Jiang Cheng felt he was forced to choose between protecting his beloved older sister or his loyal brother he remembered that Wei Wuxian always found the worst trouble and he never, ever remembered to guard his back.
Or, what if Jin Guangshan never managed to tear the Twin Heroes of Yunmeng apart.

Summary
“What if we weren’t?” Lan Zhan says.
“Sorry, weren’t what?” Wei Ying replies, not understanding what Lan Zhan is getting at. “Everything?”
Lan Zhan thinks for a moment. “Mn.”
Wei Ying’s mind starts whirring, trying to figure out what Lan Zhan is implying. “So you mean if we didn’t know each other?” he asks, thinking out loud. “Just Jade and Laozu, two strangers on their way to an action together.” It could work, now that he’s thinking about it. He had expected to meet a comrade but not a familiar face when he signed up for the carpool, had known enough about the group and trusted the Wens enough that anyone they trusted to be in the action was good enough for him.
“Strangers,” Lan Zhan agrees.
Or: a love story forwards and backwards, in a world where demonic cultivation is the norm.

Summary
After his death at the first siege of the Burial Mounds, Wei Wuxian is thrown back in time to when he was nine years old, just before Jiang Fengmian took him to Lotus Pier with its tumultuous affection and unpayable mountain of debts. He decides to take the second chance he has been offered, to live freely and without regrets.
As it turns out, a life without regrets involves:
1. Avoiding all attempts to be adopted so you can launch your career as a rogue-cultivating-assassin, while
2. Juggling a hit-list comprised of the cultivation world’s Who’s Who, and
3. Desperately missing your not-boyfriend who picked the worst ever timing to confess his undying love for you.Murder and mayhem to follow.

Summary
Wei Changze knew he couldn't put his former sect brother off forever. Not without creating a rift with Lotus Pier that he - and more importantly his children - couldn't afford. But he would never rejoin the Jiang.
He wouldn't dishonor his wife's memory that way.
What he *would* do was take his adorable, incorrigible, chaos gremlins he called children for a visit to their paternal homeland in Yunmeng and let Jiang Fengmian try his best to set a love of the Jiang into his children's hearts.
His former shixiong had no *idea* what was coming for him, or what the outcome would be, as a result of his manipulations.
But then...
Jiang Fengmian had always ever seen what he *wished* to see.

Xiao'Beiye did *not* sign up for this.
No.
Absolutely not.
Death was bad enough, but having to endure a second life on top of it?
Rejected. Blocked. She'd like a refund now please.
Worst yet...she was in some version of a historically inaccurate and anachronistic Ancient Fantasy China in the middle of what might-have-been an assassination attempt. One that was probably going to end with her either dead or married off far too young. The only light in her particular tunnel?
Running away to Cang Qiong Mountain Sect, where they didn't care about your social status or wealth, only your potential as a cultivator. The only problem was, she *knew* that name. She knew what it implied about the future of the world around her.
And she was *not* going to stand for it.
No matter what she had to do - or who she had to piss off - to save the decent kid she met at the disciple selections, and his slave-brother, from a fate that could turn out far worse than death.

Summary
“I’m not here to help you with your work,” said Lan Zhan, injecting frost into his voice to deter any further attempts at charm. “I’ll be focusing on my research.”
Wei Ying cocked his head. “Research?” he said.
“Mm. I’m a cultivation researcher, not a department employee. I’m reconstructing the ancient musical cultivation techniques of the Lan clan.”
___
Lan Zhan’s new liaison at the Caiyi Municipal Cultivation Department is an enigma – ridiculously talented, yet somehow content with mopping up spiritual pests for barely above minimum wage. Wei Ying is slapdash and irresponsible, and Lan Zhan doesn’t like him at all… but then he meets A-Yuan, who loves music and longs for a piano his father can’t afford.
Forced into cautious friendship by a four-year-old's music lessons, Lan Zhan soon realises Wei Ying is more than he seems. The single father is a man of many secrets – including, perhaps, the key to Lan Zhan's life's work. And in the meantime, the background resentment in Caiyi Town is rising to dangerous levels…

Bookmarker's Notes
❤️Well, this was just a good time, through and through and I read the whole thing in one gluttonous go. This story was recced to me by a Nonny over on Tumblr, and their rec was so good I'll just re-use it here:
"On ao3, user so_shyy has just written and published a masterpiece! Cant believe I’m forgetting the name, but it’s 16 chapters, modern au with cultivation. Lan zhan has left the lan sect to dedicate himself to uncovering the ancient lan musical cultivation techniques, which have been lost to time. In his work, he meets the equivalent of a cultivation “street sweeper”, who happens to live in his building and have a young son, but who also happens to have a strangely high cultivation level for a poorly paid municipal cultivator. Beyond that little mystery, there’s an excellent underlying problem that leads to a big revelation.
"More perks: Renowned sect leader and the darling of the cultivation world lan xichen overuses emojis! It’s a kidfic! And wow, it is so well written. What more could you want? I have honestly been looking for a fic like this since I joined the fandom over a year ago.
Cannot recommend enough, 💖/10" -

Summary
Lan Zhan dies two years before canon and promptly wakes up in the library at Cloud Recesses right across from Wei Wuxian, napping facedown in a pile of copywork.
He has a lot of questions. Is this the afterlife? If it's not, then is he alone with his memories? And most importantly, what does he need to do to keep his soulmate alive this time?
Wei Ying did not stir as he knelt down by the desk. It had been so long since Lan Zhan had seen those beloved features and even longer since he’d been allowed to either get or stay this close to Wei Ying.
He looked so different from Lan Zhan’s memories; apple cheeked, clean, and relaxed.
Lan Zhan clamped both hands over his own mouth to stop the pained noise that threatened to escape him. Hot tears spilled down his face as he watched the young, safe, and whole boy sleep. His stomach cramped with the effort of holding the sound in, but he’d sooner die than wake Wei Ying up.

The Wild Geese's Tomb
by The Feels Whale (miscellea)
Wangxianficrecs post here. (Archived.)I was interrupted so many times while reading this that it took 3 days and I cannot do it justice. I did tags, though!
Anyway, it's a delightful time travel fix it, wherein lwj dies and opens his eyes to his student days. Slowly, he determines that a handful of other people came back, too, all of whom died before him. He and wwx team up, try to tweak events, get together (lwj died during the 13 years, so there was no established relationship). Meanwhile, there's a mastermind somewhere, pulling strings, putting everyone in their places (meng yao shows up as a student and gets a new arc, focused on lxc of course).
Great thoughts on musical cultivation, yin iron and resentful energy. (Also, Madam Yu and Meng Yao get to do a bitch-off, which is very satisfying.)

Summary
Lan Wanji was never told the details of his parents' story. Now that he has discovered his own desires, his life's goal is to keep Wei Wuxian from finding out. But life is cruel and truths get revealed at the worst possible times.
Since I suck at summaries, here are some key features:
- it's Wangxian mainly
- plus some development of the prev generation Lans
- plus going to war with the Wens
- plus Wen Qing being totally badass
- plus Jin family craziness
- plus just about every character ever mentioned on the show and some assumed ones getting screentime and storylinesAnd if you're still wondering, here's a taste:
------------------------------
“Ah, but there are other Wens here though,” Jin Guangshan gave an appraising look to Wen Ning and Wen Qing. “Who could say where they were last night.”“Where do you think I was,” Wen Qing retorted quickly, “on my wedding night?”
[...]
“What about him then?” a Jin pointed at Wen Ning.“He was with me,” Nie Mingjue said flatly.
“All night?” Nie Huaisang peeked over his fan to stare at his brother. “What were you doing?”
“Talking,” Nie Mingjue said in a threatening tone. The fan went back up.

❤️Gentians in bloom
by teawater
wangxianficrecs queue. archived as series (2 works).Really fascinating and entertaining, epic fix-it with depth and twists and just, wild and uninhibited creativity along the lines of [Magical Marriage Ribbons, and Fallen]. In which wangxian get together (after awkward adolescent stumbling) as students - a relationship that begins to solidify as they study together and debate cultivation theory and invention. (Wwx is already a prolific inventor, and lwj is reluctantly fascinated.) When the Wens attack CR (and WQ turns coat to warn the Lans that it's going to happen) it is, of course, wangxian who save the day with an insane off-the-cuff invention through which they fool the wens into thinking they burned the sect and then quite literally bag them.
There are so many departures from canon! For example, wwx figures out how to call the other Yin pieces to them; wangxian learn to combine their qi and make a single big, extremely powerful entity out of their two selves; wwx never loses his core and while he uses demonic energy, it's not in the same way it is in canon, so he's not universally reviled. And, of course, he and lwj are paired up since their student days. There is heavy focus on his talismans and inventions (yay!) They save the Wens; and stumble over child mo xuanyu (whose sass blossoms once he understands he's safe with wangxian).
Story is loaded with plot and action and character interactions and transitions seamlessly between all of them so that when your teeth ache from fluff there's angst to cleanse your palate, and the same with action and relationships. Wwx's self-worth issues are ENORMOUS and don't seem much settled by the fact that every single other sect wants him and his genius, and there's digging into his past and why he's so fucked up, which gives room for lovely emotional h/c.
And I'm not even going to go into the possessed baby xuanwus (from eggs collected by young mxy), all the illegitimate Jin brothers, the whole province given to wwx by GusuLan as thanks for winning the war (he's SO unprepared to be the Lord of a city), lwj's foul-mouthed secret uncle, the meteor and the volcano. Just. It's epic, trust me.
In the sequel (nearly another 100k) you get wwx trying to face his fears via puppy therapy, a grand cultivation tournament (featuring a newly young adult mxy and his crush), a woman with a strange history, an incredibly awkward jc, wwx hiding a secret he doesn't feel is his to tell and lwj drinking vinegar. It's delicious. [This is the one where wwx is a teacher doing lectures at Lotus Pier involving The Chair that is a yao and goes in a wall...]

❤️The Amazing Adventures Of Jiang Xiaolian And Family
by bumbledees
Wangxianficrecs post here. (Archived, 3 works)In which wwx has to pose as a girl (Jiang Xiaolian) and marry lwj in order to ensure the safety of himself and the wen remnants. It works like a charm, and turns out wwx makes a pretty nice girl (lqr loves his perfectly behaved niece-in-law sooo much, heh). There are still obstacles to overcome, like the treacherous Jin sect machinations and learning to recognize his own feelings, but it's done with humor and enthusiasm.
Part 2 shows jc struggling with Feelings and slowly falling for wn ('cause who wouldn't, he's such a sweetheart).
Part 3 is completed and it's hilarious and soft and shamelessly bizarre and I love it.
***
From near the end of part 1:
It's unorthodox to be sure, but it doesn't look like anyone actually has an argument against it.
"So the great Hanguang-Jun cuts his sleeve?" Sect Leader Yao asks instead, because the conversation was missing an intellectual point of view.
"Yes," Lan Zhan says.
There another flutter of whispers, but no one really has an argument for that, either.
"Does it matter if he cuts his sleeve if he could cut you in half?" Wei Wuxian asks from Lan Zhan's lap. "It's romantic! We fell in love and stopped evil!"
*** From Part 3 ***
"No one's getting new parts," Wei Wuxian says. "We're going to plant it!"
"You're going to what?"
"We're going to plant it in the ground like a radish and water it every day, and at the end of nine months, we'll have a baby!" Wei Wuxian says.
"No you won't," Jiang Cheng says, because he has no imagination.
"Yes we will," Wei Wuxian says. "You're going to meet your niece-sprout and you're going to love her more than anyone else except jiejie and Jin Ling, and there's nothing you can do about it."
"I hate you so much," Jiang Cheng says

“Oh, hey,” Wei Ying says as the audiobook starts up. “Snacks?"
Lan Zhan spares a glance from the road as Wei Ying hoists his tote bag of goodies and opens up some Takis. “The driver should not eat,” he says.
Wei Ying stuffs three Takis into his mouth at once and mulls aloud, “You totally wouldn’t let me eat in your car if I wasn’t getting an abortion.”
“Mn,” Lan Zhan agrees.
Wei Ying crunches happily. “I should probably insist on being treated normally,” he says, mouth half-full, “but fuck it. Normally you’re mean to me.”

Bookmarker's Notes
Dealing with Lan Zhan is Wei Ying’s punishment for being a good teacher. Every department is asked to select a couple of dynamic instructors to lead freshman undergrad interdisciplinary seminars. Some committee pairs them all up. Wei Ying, who’s a fun and excellent teacher, has been paired up with Lan Zhan to teach one next semester. He’s never attended one of Lan Zhan’s classes, but Wei Ying is sure that Lan Zhan was chosen not because he’s inherently good at teaching but because he was the best of several bad options. Musical cultivation researchers are, by and large, not known for their lecture skills.
He’s such a boring, stuck-up rule follower.
Wwx culti throught music
In half an hour, they’re on the highway, and Wei Ying is staring out the window, listening to a rundown on atonal musical cultivation and the growth of the modernist movement in Germany.
“Schoenberg molded Berg into a substantial force in musical cultivation, but there was a price to be paid for the transformation,” the audiobook says.

one ever knew why the bright genius from Yunmeng Jiang left the righteous path and cultivated resentful energy. No one knew what happened in the three months he was missing. No one ever bothered even asking why Wei Wuxian refused to carry his sword, a part of his soul, once he came back, crediting it to his arrogance.
Why will any cultivator, the fourth best of their generation especially, disregard their hard work since childhood and follow the dark path?
Wei Wuxian, unlike the belief the masses still held, didn’t even have a choice.
Why did no one even doubt it once?
Explaining time trvale
LWJ & WWX can't be seen together
“Oh Heavens,” Nie Huaisang laughed, “I did not expect this. So you are telling me, you and Lan Wangji—the Hanguang-jun have a kid together?”
“Hmm~” Wei Wuxian replied gleefully, “Our baby.”
If Nie Huaisang wasn’t already seated, he is sure he would have dropped to the ground.
“Anyway,” Wei Wuxian jumped back up again as if he just didn’t almost cause Nie Huaisang a minor qi deviation, “It’s almost sunset: lets go back. I wanna see my Shijie again.”
As he mentioned her, Wei Wuxian’s face glowed and Nie Huaisang, as he got up, thought wryly, At least this makes me feel like I didn’t just use him for my own gain.
Ch 3 Just because Shijie doesn’t have talent for Yunmeng Jiang’s offensive techniques doesn’t mean she is weak cultivator. Unless we let her try every form of cultivation: healing, talisman and arrays, defense or musical cultivation, we can’t say that she doesn’t have talent for cultivation. It is simply that she doesn’t have talent for offensive cultivation, but if she can be given time she might flourish in the other cultivation techniques and strengthen her core that way.”
Ch 4 Actually you know what?
Nie Huaisang is actually going to cry.
Lan Wangji…married Wei Wuxian in a goddamned cave and Wei Wuxian doesn’t even know.
“Master,” Wei Wuxian lets his tone get a little sharper, “My mother was Baoshen Sanren’s best disciple. It is not unlikely for her to know multiple techniques of cultivation. Especially considering how Baoshen Sanren’s sect was not segregated by blood, any and every technique could be easily available for learning.”
Lan Qiren scoffs.
CB 7 Jiang-xiong, since Yunmeng Jiang came to Cloud Recesses, Wei-xiong has constantly been scrutinized. For the smallest things, he has been punished. You might think Gusu Lan is so strict up on the rules that his punishments are justified,
“I will not stand you insulting my mother.”
“What about my mother then?” Wei Wuxian snaps. “All of you seem far so happy insulting her! What has my mother done? What has she done that you and your mother are so keen on twisting her memory to fit your fucking insecurities? Why is she reduced to Jiang Fengmian’s unrequited love? Is she not Cangse Sanren? Is she not the best
Ch 8 Jiang Yanli could have stood up for Wei Wuxian because she was in Jin Guangshan’s household and anything she said would have been respected by her husband and her mother-in-law…and if there is something Wen Qing knows about Lanling Jin, it’s that their madam is ferociously righteous. Jiang Yanli had the means to work something out, pull the strings from the shadows and yet…she did not. She came to visit her so called brother on a mountain of corpses donning red silk and never thought to look back.
Cn q0 No seriously, Nie-xiong,” Wei Wuxian whines, taking the cup of water from Lan Wangji and gulping it down. “I have been sitting here for the past two hours, unable to speak while my mind replays every single incident with that bastard.”
“I pray for your soul.” Lan Wangji says, completely serious as he takes back the cup from Wei Wuxian, lips tilted in an open smile.

Summary
Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian have dealt with a lot of threats to their home, but this one is... different. Their opponents don't seem to be cultivators at all - and good heavens they're so young.
Gideon and Harrow have a mission from the Emperor - but serving that mission is much harder than it looks.

On ch 12
Cj 3 comemtms
god! god! Gideon is Trying Her Best but she is a humble knight of the Space Holy Roman Empire, of course she doesn't know how to comport herself in Fantasy Ming China! I am so, so fond of cross-cultural communication mishaps in fiction and this is. ugh. it's so good.Ch 4 implications of their arrival are ominous. What little information they cornered Harrowhark into sharing was a few bare sentences. “The Emperor awaits my signal. No others are coming that I know of. ” Whether it’s true or not, it’s troubling. And there was a sense, a strong one, of her holding back more.
Ch 6 The girls have traveled from very far away - we’ve never heard of their sects, or their emperor, but they sound powerful and have a long reach. Where they come from, everyone who cultivates uses the demonic path. Everyone. Harrowhark is one of their sect heirs. Gideon is a disciple of her sect.”
god!!! more "fitting
hey send their cultivators to generate more resentful energy wherever they can, adding territory as they go. Their emperor claims dominion over everyone who cultivates the demonic path. And he is, ah, possessive of it. He was not pleased to have heard reports that others have discovered this method of cultivation.” Wei Wuxian sounds a little guilty. He is recalling the reaming out that Lan Qiren gave him about his presumed culpability on this point.
He continues, “So Gideon and Harrowhark were sent by their emperor to destroy me.”
Comments
ALSO, I have no idea where you are headed with your plot, but as my brain was ruminating on this fic last night, I came to think about how the Empire of the Locked Tomb series is many thousands of years into the future of our solar system (I think), while the events of CQL took place at least a thousand years in the past of same solar system, which implies to me that in this fic, SOMEHOW the Emperor has developed TIME TRAVEL, which is concerning, to say the least. Not least b/c now I'm wondering to what degree is Wei Ying's founding of the demonic/ghost path actually a precursor to the kind of necromancy that is the only known kind of cultivation by the time we get to Gideon the Ninth. I AM CONCERNED

emple, needless to say, the disciples of MolingSu Sect poured in Cloud Recesses seeking to join GusuLan Sect after recognizing their founder, Su She’s evil acts. It was only obvious that they would take GusuLan’s teaching above any other sects because of the similarity of their cultivational techniques.
Ch 2 It looks like another group of Wei Wuxian’s admirers.
Lan Wangji didn’t respond, he too is watching the scene in front of them. He had seen a lot of Wei Wuxian admirers the past few months. The rumors eventually broke among common people about

Ch 5 Yesterday morning, through his husband’s honest concerns about not seeing the maiden that works in the inn, they found out the maiden recently lost her unborn due to an ‘accident’. Since mothers who fell victim to yinghaishi’s attack, go through paralysis and all the while induced with anesthetic substance unique to this demon, before their unborn babies get taken away, they would not be able to tell how they miscarriage.
Yinghaishi is a demon of every mother’s nightmare.
Ch 7 The person wore a white flowy cloud-patterned GusuLan robe, one of those their female clan members would wear – yet the cloud patterns that embellish the attire is of different design, a design only reserved to a certain person within the Lan Clan. It spoke volumes.
RobesCj 10 “Senior Wei, these patterns are only reserved for the leading Lan family’s wives.” Lan Jingyi said, “So, it is possible that you and the late Madam Lan would have similar patterns.”
“Jingyi.” Lan Wangji warned.
“Madam Lan,” Wei Wuxian repeated before his eyes widened as it struck him, “Well that explains it!” He remembered every junior who

Lan Xichen nodded unsurely, “I think so.”
Wei Wuxian’s grin widened, “Why don’t you give it to A-Cheng, burn incense while you’re at it?”
“Wei Ying.”
Wei Wuxian laughed. “It’ll be fun.”
“Wei Ying,” It was Lan Qiren
Ch 13 Wei Wuxian sighed. He and Jiang Cheng just had enough time to gather young disciples for the lecture. Whoever suggested to Jin Ling to host a lecture despite the sudden decline of LanlingJin Sect’s standing among the cultivational clans, knew how to make the young Sect Leader Jin lose face.
It is obvious that upon the first invitations were sent out to other sects to allow their junior disciples to join the lecture in Koi Tower, their leaders would have just disregarded the invitation. After all, who would send their juniors to a sect that harbored the most manipulative, albeit shrewd, cultivator? Not to

Summary
After barely surviving the assassination attempt at QiongQi Path, Wei WuXian and the Wen Sect remnants are left to figure out how to protect themselves and their new lives. Meanwhile, the Jiang siblings and an unharmed Jin ZiXuan try to figure out who's bright idea was that stupid ambush. In Gusu, Lan Wangji panics at the idea of Wei WuXian's near death and tries to figure out whether to insist to stay by the Yiling Patriarch's side or hang back in the Cloud Recesses.
And Wei WuXian struggles with the idea of whether becoming a teacher, teaching demonic cultivation and setting up his own sect might not be a bad idea after all...

On ch 8
Ch2 . I overheard that they were trying to create a rift between you two so they could convince Wei WuXian to join LanlingJin but when he actually left YunmengJiang it was too late.”
For a moment Jiang Cheng froze before almost turning purple in anger. That – that had all been on purpose? Trying to create a rift between him and Wei WuXian? How dare they?
Ch 5 Points it that it was a genocide
50 out of 1000 wens surivedCh 14 A/N Jiang Cheng’s perspective of Lan Wangji: Younger brothers can be just as protective as older brother’s when they realise their older sibling is hurt by somebody. JC knows his brother. He knows Wifi admires and respects LWJ and is very fond of him. And as far as JC knows, all LWJ did was brush him off and ignore him then condemn him. As JC is well aware of, rejection in any form is hurtful. So, whenever Wifi would want to go and talk to LWJ, JC would dissuade him because he just saw the interaction going the same way as before: Wifi would talk then tease, LWJ would ignore or condemn, Wifi would essentially be rejected and a little hurt that someone he cared about thought so little of him. JC was just trying to protect Wifi in his own way. JC doesn’t know LWJ. As far as JC is concerned, LWJ does not deserve Wifi’s good regard or his attention. LWJ has to redeem himself in JC’s eyes the same as JZX had to for similar reasons.
In canon, the weird flipped relationship was another thing that screwed with his head. He used to be the one helping to protect Wifi before Wifi went insane. Now the man who always condemned Wifi is on his side and JC was the one who helped kill him.

In the book they refuse money from people because it wasn’t right to take their money when they were going to perform the night-hunt anyway and some of those night-hunts take place in areas where there are no residents. And don’t say they get money for every monster or whatever they defeat. This isn’t a video game where they drop money as they disappear. Who would pay for those monsters etc. to be defeated? How would they even get proof that whoever did actually kill that monster or exorcize a ghost? It isn’t logical.

Summary
"By the Heavens, did you hear? The Yiling Patriarch has been invited to the Discussion Conference in Qinghe!"
Gossip was, by far, the fastest way for information to spread.
"What! Whose idea was that!?"
It was not the most accurate or most reliable method, but people were people, and the tedium of daily life would always bore them.
"I heard it was the Nie Sect leader's suggestion."
----------
After thirteen years in the Burial Mounds, the Yiling Patriarch finally makes a public reappearance. Civilians are scared. Cultivators are outraged. Sect Leaders are concerned. Wei Wuxian has been too quiet, they say, and nobody knows what dark horrors the Burial Mounds may now contain.
Wei Wuxian wouldn't quite call them dark horrors, but the description wasn't too far off.
(tl;dr Wei Wuxian lives, raises a whole gaggle of demonic cultivator children, and the cultivation world panics.)

Ch 17 comments
Pg 4
Clearly, the other heirs had better things to do than greet the people of their long time enemies. He couldn’t say he blamed them and he knew for a fact that most of his friends would have done the same if the roles were reversed.“Thank you for your graciousness,” Kun replied as he ducked into a low bow. He didn’t want to be in Eplyae by any means, but he could at least thank his hosts for being kind enough to have them. He had been brought up well enough to know that much.
Ch 18 Comments
Take WWX to Gusu, protected him, and would shoulder every trial with him,
Were all indeed beautiful words and promises.But,
One, it could not protect the Wens.Two, no matter how much LWJ believed WWX would not be punished, there's no way Gusulan would let a demonic cultivator strolling around with ChenQing and Stygian Tiger Seal in their sect.
Three, it'd highly possible that the punishment would be transferred to LWJ instead.
Four, if LWJ was incapacitated he could not do anything to protect WWX regardless.
Five, between protecting WWX and let Gusulan be condemned alongside WWX as the sect who hoards demonic cultivator what could LWJ do? Would he let the hundreds years history of his sect destroyed because of his whimsical desire?
Six, even though he could protect WWX out of it, it's highly possible that wWX would be imprisoned, stripped off of his tools and resentful energy and Gusulan sect would think that letting him live at all was the highest mercy.
felt so real when you mentioned that Sizhui was greatly ashamed over WWX's antics of teasing LWJ as his dad.
Why?
Because it felt like boot licking from WWX's side when he talks like he had the best relationship with LWJ.
While in reality?
LWJ is especially harsh to Sizhui.
I'd also felt a great shame if my parent were boasting being close to some important figure while in reality the important figura couldnt care less to pay attention to me.Wwx teaches his students to fear LWJ
WWX calls out LWJ ocer his bad parenting

On ch 2
Ch 1 Cultivator position. There’s currently a vacancy of power after the war. Not just for a Xian Du, but for the rest of everything as well.” Dead people would need to be replaced, and this was the time the cultivation world was in a swirl of competitions.
“But Jie, this and Wei Wuxian’s deeds are two different matters.” What does Jin Guangshan coveting for the Chief Cultivator position had anything to do with Wei Wuxian’s unthinkable actions, saving the Wens?
WQ aunt
While the Yiling Patriarch was a wild card at best and a disgrace to their Sect’s name at worst, his existence had been invaluable in establishing the scale of power. The name Yiling Laozu was enough to keep unwanted people away. And in a way, it has helped them rebuild the sect in peace.
The tipping scale of power play is a delicate thing and Jiang Yanli knew this.

Comments
for Wei Wuxian being ostracized in canon, i do think a large part of it is actually a plot device for the story that basically ended up in "romantic interest is everything". An idealism we see in so many fictional works that just fell short. WWX as a character is so complex and fascinating bc of the many many relationships and emotional connections he had with so many people, it's like he's the center of the spider web that is the story. But at the very end he is stripped off of every relationship he's ever had, save for one.Ch 4 Comemrna
Bith WWX & NHS are using each otherPg 2 And youre absolutely right on point about nobody trying to overthrow NHS. Nie sect is among the great sects; there is no way anyone isn't vying for the seat of power, especially if the sect leader is truly incompetent. NHS is WEAK. Honestly anyone couldve poison him or chop him down with their huge sabers, if he is truly bringing the NIe Sect down, NHS honestly wouldn't be able to defend himself. Its my heacdcanon that NHS has true allies within the Nie Sect; and they have a common goal of avenging the late sect leader.
So yeah. Good Sect Leader Nie Huaisang, to me, is my canon (he is an even better leader than Nie Mingjue i believe; Mingjue might be a good war general but i believe NHS is so much well-versed in politics).

On ch 34
Ch 3
Ch 5 XXW & HC bind over theories
LWJ & XL bind over sword fightingCh 9 Artists WWX & HC
A/N sarcastic.
2. MDZS+TGCF/HOB Crossover -- TGCF/HOB post-canon, WWX ascended after XL's second descension, but as both an orthodox cultivator and demonic cultivator. LWJ is MIA even before WWX ascended for unspecified reasons. For as long as HC waiting for XL, WWX searches for LWJ. And everything goes to shit as I continue to write.
3. MDZS+TGCF/HOB Crossover -- Around YiLing Patriarch time, LWJ forced himself into WWX's life through arranged marriage, constant rejection from WWX as a husband/part of the Wei family. And meets HC and XL, discovers the potential future where WWX will die. LWJ changes the future by collaborating with HC and XL, becomes the enemy of earth/mortal, heavens, and hell, all hate will be focused on LWJ instead. And... LWJ removes himself from WWX's life. It's not really Dark!LWJ though since I want to keep LWJ as the "appears wherever chaos is." I'm not too sure yet.Idea 3 is my fav even though it is angsty
Ch 11 Pregnancy
Ch 13 Exhaustion
Ch 16 oil-paper umbrellas
Ch 33 Misunderstanding
