    Summary

    “Your father will accept you, A-Yao,” A-Niang reassured, tilting his head up till he meets her eyes, and if he was really young Meng Yao it would have worked. He was not Meng Yao. Not anymore.

    “I know, A-Niang,” Jin Guangyao said, trying not to let the frustration creep into his voice. “It’s just…” he lets himself look elsewhere. “I heard about those rogue cultivators,” he said, pressing on. “I heard they roamed the Jianghu, helping people. I could do that, instead.”

    --

    Jin Guangyao decides to become a rogue cultivator.

    Summary

    This fic owes its inspiration to Set that crown on the ground by Yeats in which rather than being accepted into the Jin sect as a son after the Sunshot campaign, Meng Yao is given a pouch of money and a letter from Jin Guangshan inviting him to take up the leadership of the Moling Meng sect, under the patronage of the Jin sect.

    It’s obvious in the fic that this is just a way of getting rid of Meng Yao, without having to legitimize him. Meng Yao is insulted and accepts Lan Xichen’s offer to bring him into the Lan sect instead. But I thought, “Honestly that’s a pretty sweet deal. I would like to see what a Moling Meng sect would be like.” So this fic is an attempt at imagining what might have happened if Meng Yao had accepted.

    Thank you to JMO2244 for finding Yeats' fic for me :) (Which it turns out I did not remember as well as I thought!)

    Summary

    Since he was a child, since Lan Wangji had first become aware of his own alienating effect on others, he has long resigned himself to a loveless marriage. Perhaps even a companionate one, so long as his partner was agreeable and unbothersome and let him have his own space.

    He could not have even begun to predict Wei Wuxian.
