Wei Wuxian BECOMES Wei Wuxian
So basically wwx starts to look a bit different
Not a big change at first but he starts to grow a bit taller
Everyone just blames it on a late growth spurt or something
A lot of the Lan disciples don’t really notice a lot changing since Wei Ying visits often (except for the juniors lol, they’re always checking to see when they’ll be taller than wwx)
But then some start noticing his facial features changing a little bit
They become more defined and more clear cut
Wwx doesn’t quite notice this until one day Lan Qiren spots him out of the corner of his eye and immediately enters a defensive fight posture
Odd, but not a lot to worry about. Wwx figures Lan Qiren read too many rules and was now hallucinating
Anyway, one day Wwx decides to begin training his body more, to make sure he stays fit because all of the juniors are very close to leaving him in the dust
So he begins lifting more weights, doing more headstands, practices a tiny bit with his sword
This becomes a small hobby and he soon begins to see the fruits of his labor
In fact, he finally notices how much mxy’s body has changed
It’s taller, stronger, and, dare he say, even more handsome than before
Some other odd occurrences are that sometimes when he meets up with lwj, his husband pauses for a second before refocusing on wwx (wwx blames these mini heart attacks as his husband being so in love with him lmao)
But it isn’t until after about a year of these changes that a very weird thing happened
When he and the Lan juniors were saying goodbye to Jin Ling after a night hunt, JC had shown up to collect his nephew (He’d heard the prey was particularly strong and wanted to make sure A-Ling was okay but he would rather break his own legs than admit that)
But the moment he sees Wwx, he completely freezes
Because, no matter how he sees it, that is no longer Wwx in mxy’s body
That’s Wei Wuxian, the Yiling Patriarch, the one who promised him to be the Twin Prides of Yunmeng, his brother
That’s the exact face of the brother he killed
Wei Wuxian’s body is exactly the same, whether it be height, strength, facial features, or that stupid smile
Poor Jin Ling is basically dragged by his collar at the speed of light so that JC doesn’t have to look at that face anymore
Now, lwj is very surprised by this turn of events but has somehow fallen even more in love? Like, his hot crush from when he was 16 is back and absolutely jacked? His poor little gay heart might explode lol
Wei Wuxian also realizes that teasing Lan Wangji is the SMALLEST bit easier
For example, one night Wei Wuxian says a flirty line and Lan Wangji just…. needs a moment- to compose himself…. Because…. Holy fuck, you know? (Unfortunately for lwj, he can try all he wants but he’ll never be able to counter against wwx during these moments)
Lan Zhan with pink cheeks and ears when he gets flustered
And when the juniors finally find out this is what the YILING PATRIARCH looked like, they can’t help but think that the cultivation world’s fear might’ve been based on less nonsense than they originally thought
This man looks like he could snap your neck like a fucking cracker
Whenever Sizhui sees him now he can’t help but feel the urge to run towards him at top speeds (Obviously he represses this urge but he can’t stop giving wwx the biggest hugs he can)
Wwx’s wen scar also begins to morph on his skin so he and Lwj have the world’s weirdest matching married couple scars anyone has seen
Wwx loves going out to drink liquor in his past most frequented shops because a shit ton of the shop owners knew him from way back (cue the “you’re really back????? I thought you were dead for good?????” And wwx’s just like “GIVE ME 10 JUGS OF WINE AND I’LL PROVE TO YOU IT’S ME”)
His golden core has also returned to how it was before, which gives him the chance to cultivate the “proper way” and he’s got the opportunity to reach lwj’s level, if not higher
But the juniors are hardly intimidated by this because they know wwx
He might look different, but he’s the same guy who helped them with homework, hunting, and cooking (eh, cooking is debatable. He improved their tolerance for sure tho. Before, they couldn’t even walk into the kitchen if he was making spicy cuisine. Now, they can cut onions while he’s destroying the kitchen so that’s improvement) (still can’t eat it though, unless you want sobbing juniors with red faces while wwx consoles them with glasses of milk)
But if some random person has the audacity to humiliate the ducklings?
Hohohohohohoho, Wei Wuxian shows up right behind them (where did he even come from? No one knows) and can just go, “Say that again.” It FEELS like there is NOTHING stopping him from ripping their tongue out. He could shame the person into never wanting to come out of a cave again……… but mainly he spooks them away and then takes the kids to get chicken wings
Basically, Wei Wuxian BECOMES Wei Wuxian again (still a dork though)
