Pairing: Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian (eventually--you know how they are)
Oops! I almost forgot to post!
REC
I mostly read Wangxian fic, so the focus is on them. I rarely come across fic that focuses on the friendship between Wei Wuxian and Nie Huaisang, especially set post-canon. It was really nice to see Nie Huaisang using his powers for good to look after Wei Wuxian and encourage his creative genius. And, of course, I always enjoy watching Wei Wuxian being a creative genius.
TEASER
Huaisang understands the satisfaction of doing things, to see with one's own eyes the marks and changes one had wrought. To make a difference and help, in Wei-Xiong's case of a bleeding, overly kind heart. Because Huaisang knows that outside of his protection, there would be a lot of people who'd condemn and vilify Wei-Xiong for merely trying to help, who'd bar him from trying to help at all, seeing only the rumours of the Yiling Patriarch instead of what Wei-Xiong could do.
And honestly, it's their loss. Because over the three short months Wei-Xiong had been here, his Sect has practically been freed from the curse of their Cultivation path - even if the actual application of harmonizing with their sabres regularly, a heavily simplified form of Empathy, is still a work in progress of being made more accessible. The people of Qinghe have been blessed with numerous inventions to make the harsh winter easier, and farmers all over his territory are looking forward to planting season without the trepidation they usually have, courtesy of Wei-Xiong's many agricultural talismans.
Three months, and the Yiling Laozu's name is spoken with gratitude and wonder in the streets. It might not have been something Huaisang had designed for him at the beginning of his ploy - For Wei-Xiong to be this patron hero of farmers and the common folk - But he thinks it makes for a good chapter in the already so colourful story of the Yiling Laozu.
