NingXian Omegaverse AU Where Wen Ning Was Wei Wuxian’s Worshipful Alpha Before Lan Wangji
I dropped this idea in the GDC Discord chat already, but I’ll drop it here, too.
There’s just something appealing about such a gentle man treating his love with considerable care and reverence. Imagine it: Wen Ning pampering his pregnant spouse with what little resources are available to him in their situation, Wen Ning going absolutely crazy the day of their son’s birth but doing his best to be in control; Wen Ning crying like a baby when the actual baby is born, and Wei Wuxian laughing good-heartedly.
Of course, what’s an AU like this without a little bit of tragedy?
Only three years after Wen Yuan is born, his mother is defeated atop Luanzang Hill, his family’s home, and his father is...of unknown identity.
The Gusu Lan sect, being the compassionate sect that they are, then takes the child under their wing, and he’s renamed Lan Yuan.
Today, he’s called Lan Sizhui, and little does he know that he’s already been reunited with his mother after the incident at Mo Village.
…….l…….wen ning/wei wuxian because i hate being happy
So, like...thanks for the art. That crown is super dope, and sect leader!WN as a whole looks super dope.
I also want to thank you for this AU. I need to see more.
100/10
- Mommy, who is this young master? - See the sun on his clothes? This is a young Leader of Qishan Wen Sect, sir Wen Qionglin. - Wen? The Wen sect? - Yeah, dear, but don’t be afraid. The Sun for left the warpath long time ago. - He looks so sad, mommy… - Yes, honey. That’s because he lost… someone very important to him. - Who? - Mm, do you remember the story about Yiling Patriarch? - The one who was betrayed by his own men and crucified on the gate? - Yes, honey, but don’t shout it so loud. - So? - What “So”, honey? - I remember the Yiling Patriarch. So? - Sir Wei Wuxian was the precious spouse of sir Wen Qionglin. And the mother of his child. - Ooh… - Yes, honey. Now let’s go, we don’t need to bother sir Wen for nothing…
A part of my Ningxian AU. Actually i just wanted to draw Wen Ning as a sect leader, so text is a kind of bonus xD
Uh, honestly speaking, this is one of my older AU’s, and I can’t answer a single one of these. XD I never actually thought this one through.
to be morbid on main based on this post by @jae-duhb bc i hv a few questions
why did the lans (most probably lwj anyway) take in wen yuan? this indicates that he had met wwx and a-yuan that day in yiling and by extension knows that a-yuan is wwx's birth son (even if he probably doesnt know who the father is)
and bc a-yuan grows up with his actual dad i.e wn, he probably wouldn't be so sticky with lwj
if lwj was never wwx's lover, would he still receive the 33 whips and come back to burial mounds to save a-yuan? if not why would he go back all the way after the massacre to save one child? bc as righteous as the lans may be, they still, u know, participated in the killing
im assuming wn still becomes a fierce corpse
would lwj still look for wwx? or would he still do bc he only realized he was in love with wwx when it was way too late?
again, assuming lwj would still defend wwx and help him clear his name like in canon either bc hes a good guy or bc hes besotted
and afterwards lan sizhui would be reunited with his birth parents that he lost so many years ago, how would he continue his life as a lan disciple? unless wwx gets together w lwj, he has no reason to stay in cloud recesses. which is probably the case bc wen ning is there. and lwj never showed interest in him anyway, he wouldn't ever know.
how would lsz feel abt his name? would he even be named sizhui at all?
one possibility is wwx and wn live a simple life near caiyi so their son can visit them easily
or.. dark lans bc i love this au so much, lwj puts the nails back into wen ning and forces a mating bond on wwx to keep him in cr. which, i think would absolutely revolt a-yuan, to think that his adoptive father would do that to his mother.
Hmm...
I am thinking of writing a short NingXian fix and posting here. Can you guys give me some themes? ^^
I am so glad you liked those! >///< I was worried that you wouldn't be satisfied at all haha
Omg, you made the meaning for Baochen so much more deeper and beautiful yet somewhat tragic ;-; I imagine Wen Ning naming him and thinking about everyone he loves and their wishes for the Wen Sect, specially Wei Wuxian's, for it became the kind and honorable sect it once was, he must have let out such a bittersweet yet gentle smile when Wen Mao came of age and WN gave A-Mao his courtesy name. I absolutely love the way you understood it! 'When dawn comes, everything will be clean once again, A-Xian, I promise.'
Thank you, once again, for answering me!
True! Wen Ning would try to be more positive, I believe, when naming him, different from Lan Wangji. Maybe he thought A-Yuan would be A-Mao's other half, like how Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian thought they would be the Twin Heroes of Yunmeng, (... ;-;) because A-Yuan would, too, in a way, be a new hope for Wen Sect alongside Wen Mao. I am sure they grew up as like the most closest of the siblings haha
Yessss MaoMao would be such an awkward but caring big bro lolol
First of all in this house we stan happy NingXian Family and Babies.
If I might, does Wen Mao has a courtesy name? I just became really curious! ^^"
Hi! Sorry i didn’t answer your previous ask, i just want to draw smth but i’m a bit busy haha ^^”No, Wen Mao do not have another names. Actually i’m not good in creating names ^^” I named him “Wen Mao” because it’s Wen Sect Founder’s name and i thought it would be kinda symbolic. A-Mao is a new hope of Wen clan! But i never thought about courtesy name for him… If ypu have any ideas, I’m open to suggestions! xD
Is this a kind of AU where Wen Wuxian is the best disciple of Wen sect, and Wei Ning is just a shy member of Yunmeng Jiang Sect ? I don’t know hahah
Hey,
Send me a pairing in the tags and I will tell you some personal headcanons about it!
You can also send me a specific au and I may even write a small fic about it ^^
For @klashta-neali,
(Xiyao is next ^^)
Ningxian
-When Wei Wuxian first praised him for his archery, Wen Ning never felt so *warm* in his life.
-He loved his sister, yes, and he knew she did, too. But all the time he remembered her yelling at him from getting the wrong herbs and her sighs didn't help him in any way with his stuttering and shy self.
-Even if he knew they were healers, not killers, it still hurt when the other Wen Sect Members would look down on him and laugh at his incompetence.
-So, after so long, hearing someone praise him honestly like that, a genuine smile on face and not laughing at him, Wen Ning felt happy.
-So, so much happy, he felt a pleasant curling at his chest even if his shyness made him initially hide from the other.
-Wei Wuxian was his (courtesy) name, and Wen Ning gave his own name.
-At first, what he felt for Wei Wuxian was platonic respect, *gratefulness*, not even once the thought of being romantically involved with him crossing his mind.
-Of course, he did risky things for him, but to Wen Ning, helping Wei Wuxian was something that came naturally despite all the embarrassment he had to go through of.
-(Jumping on the lake at Lotus Pier might have been rather reckless, Wen Ning thinks.)
-But, but… Had he really the right to be next to him? He, for all worst and bad, did help in burning the Lotus Pier no matter how much he did not want to.
-Wen Ning felt a fear then, for surely Wei Wuxian would resent him. All the clans resented the Wens, even the ones that didn't have a shed of blood on their hands.
-Wei Wuxian didn't, but he was slight distrustful of him at first. His home, his companions, Madam Yu and Uncle Jiang had been burned down to ashes because of the Wens, of course he would be. Wen Ning, however, for all his timid demeanor, wasn't a coward.
-So, he helped him because, because…
-... Why he couldn't answer that? Was it simply because Wei Wuxian had been kind to him and recognized his skills? This might have been far too simply, but it made Wen Ning feel like he had a debt-- no, that he should support him no matter what.
-Because, to someone like Wen Ning, that small praise and him standing up for him was something he couldn't ever forget. But it wasn't because he was indebted to him, but because he…
-He liked him. He wanted to be his friend, someone he could trust even though Wen Ning knew he was insignificant compared to him; a Wen no matter how distant he was from the main branch, weak cultivation, couldn't even hit the bull’s eye at other people’s presence.
-Wei Wuxian will give you that, he didn't recall Wen Ning when he first helped him hide from those Wen Dogs, but then he squinted and had a brief flashback of a youth with teal eyes.
-Wei Wuxian had doubts on whether he should trust him or not, but he upon analysing him better, he knew Wen Ning was honest in his desire to help him.
-Then, he met esteemed healer Wen Qing and briefly wondered how they could be related.
-... They somewhat reminded him of Jiang Cheng and Shijie, yet were far too different.
-Wen Qing was fierce and strong, Wei Wuxian could tell that at first sight. Like Jiang Cheng, with his sharp eyes and straight face. But that was where the similarities ended for them.
-Wen Ning was kind and nice, but his shyness wasn't something his Shijie had, and their smiles were different. Shijie’s was… open to everyone see and bright, but Wen Ning’s was hesitant and reserved, as if he was scared that smiling at him would bring consequences in any way.
-But he was a nice guy, and tried to help heal Jiang Cheng and himself even as he used the wrong dose to a medicine or bandaged him messly.
-Wen Qing proved herself to be reliable and firmly set in not joining the slaughter the other Wens were at.
-Wei Wuxian felt relieved in meeting them, he realized one day. They helped him distract himself from the burning despair inside him, made him feel like he had a new family, another little brother and older sister.
-It was going to be fine, he reassured himself. He could do this, despairing and sadness won't bring him any good, it won't make the Wens at Lotus Pier *drop down and die*, it won't bring Madam Yu and Uncle Jiang back.
-The medicine felt much more bitter on his tongue at the remembrance.
-After giving up his golden core to Jiang Cheng (He deserves it, he is the Sect Leader now, he is his best friend and brother), Wei Wuxian felt… empty, at first.
-It reminded him of the times as a street kid that had to fight dogs for scraps of food. Why? He just felt so… weak, suddenly.
-He could starve now, his body was far more fragile now and he couldn't use cultivation anymore.
-Wen Ning had given him a concerned, helpless look when he thought he wasn't looking, but Wei Wuxian simply turned to him and smiled.
-’It is alright, I was the one to make this choice. I will face the consequences, now.’
-The unspoken words between could be understood, even if Wen Ning didn't really knew him that well.
-“Wei Gongzi…” “Come on, don't call me that.”
-Wei Wuxian laughed, albeit quieter than usual. Such a cute little thing, Wen Ning was.
-Of course, he knew they needed to leave soon. Wen Qing suggested they should leave Yunmeng as soon as possible to seek refuge-- She noticed him of other Wens that weren't involved in the war.
-But Wei Wuxian couldn't leave Jiang Cheng alone. He knew he had Shijie but… He swore to be at his side. They would be the Twin Heroes of Yunmeng.
-Wei Wuxian never thought that he would broke this promise, when Wen Ning said *those* words.
-Wen Ning started feeling more and more nervous around Wei Wuxian, but not the way he would he around anyone else normally.
-His stomach knotted and he felt like like butterflies were dancing there with all the churning.
-As they walked side-by-side (“You're not my servant or anything, we're friends, so it's okay to walk next to me, y’know?” “B-but--” “No buts!”), Wen Ning couldn't help but smile shyly as he looked down. He felt so happy around the other, it is the first time he liked to be with someone so much, outside of his family.
-It was always so hard to make friends to him.
-But Wei Wuxian was bright (now darkened by the tragedies he went through, but still smiled and always was going forward) and talked to him as if they knew each other for years.
-He should have payed attention to his surroundings more, huh.
-Wen Ning stumbled on a rock mid way and let out a small ‘Wah!’ as he fell next to Wei Wuxian, who let out a surprised sound of his own as Wen Ning fell on him.
-Wen Ning felt like screeching and apologizing-- Until he saw the beautiful man (awfully bold of you to believe I am not into cliché tropes) beneath him and his breath caught up evenly.
-How-- how did he never notice it before?
-“Wen Ning? You there?” “Y-yes!” “Mind getting off me or…?” “Of course!”
-Wen Ning stood up in an instant, nervously offering a hand to help Wei Wuxian, whose response was to eye it for a while before holding it and help himself standing up.
-“Your clothes are dirty…” “It's black, nobody will notice.”
-After that, they walked in silence, Wei Wuxian wondering if he did something wrong.
-Wen Ning confessed a week after.
-Wei Wuxian stood frozen, then he accepted. Because, didn't he love Wen Ning? Even if he wondered how the hell Wen Ning had… had feelings for him (and Wei Wuxian become confused and didn't understand it), Wei Wuxian just… didn't think of saying no.
-It definitely wasn't out of pity (Wei Wuxian would never degrade Wen Ning’s feelings like that), yet he didn't feel like anything other than taking in gladly the confession, stumbling and nervous, yet full of determination and courage (those that almost everyone overlooked because of Wen Ning’s meekness. But Wei Wuxian knew better.)
-Wen Ning awkwardly tried holding hands with him, blushing as he thought on what Wen Qing would think of this whole affair. Wei Wuxian had chuckled, amusement sparkling in his eyes.
-Wei Wuxian dragged him to one town one day and buyed them a matching pair of hairpins, one silver with small blue jewels (they reminded him of Wen Ning’s eyes, and definitely planned to use that to tease the other), a plum motif adding to its beautification as short threads that carried the same blue stones jingled like bells.
-Wen Ning had hesitantly choosed a much simpler one; a white jade hairpin. Not much, but beautiful nonetheless.
-Wen Qing was suspicious as Wen Ning and Wei Wuxian came to her later that day, wearing jewelry she never saw before on their hairs (the later having a strangely girlish-looking one). The only thing she spoke was that it totally, utterly unmatched either of them.
-Wei Wuxian had given her a bright beam and Wen Ning smiled sheepishly but sweetly nonetheless.
-Wen Qing had huffed, warning for them to not spend their money on useless objects next time.
-Wen Ning smiled at the man next to him, eyes fluttering fondly as he watched him. He still couldn't understand how Wei Wuxian had come to accept his feelings, but he was happy he did. Not that he wouldn't be there if he didn't, sure he would be dejected but would understand and stay at his side even then. A mere rejection won't stop him from following Wei Wuxian.
-“Call me Wei Ying already! I just call you Wen Ning and aren't we dating?”
-Wen Ning shook his head out of his reverie, looking at Wei Wuxian confusingly.
-“Uh… Wei… Ying…?” “Not so paused! Wei Ying! Wei Ying!”
-Wei Wuxian laughed, thinking he was truly happy there and then.
I hope you like it;;;
Will make more if asks me! ^^
