FIC + ART: 江湖 | jianghu (wangxian, WWX, multiverse)

[dragongirlg]

I posted my second MDZS RBB fic two weeks ago, the jianghu multiverse fic centered on Wei Wuxian! Featuring Chinese mythology, Chinese history (including Republican era Shanghai), diaspora life, and wangxian meeting through various lives.

江湖 | jianghu

He is a young man caught in the throes of war, digging up the dead and filling them with yin energy.

He is a swordsman roaming the land with Lan Wangji, chasing an infamous murderer with poison hidden in his pinky.

He is an exiled alchemist standing next to a lotus pond, waiting for Lan Wangji on the shore.

He is a shopkeeper in a narrow little alley, sharing Lan Wangji’s truths in a world full of lies.

He is a gangster assigned to collect debts, returning Lan Wangji’s violin in an act of righteous justice.

He is a child at a raucous party, extending a hand of friendship to the quiet boy at the table.

Five times Wei Wuxian died in the jianghu, and one time he lived.

Or: An exploration of the term "jianghu" centered around Wei Wuxian's rebirths and deaths in various jianghu settings.
