just made myself sick imagining a demon slayer inspired au of mdzs. in which the jiangs are attacked by a demon while jiang cheng is the only one out and when he returns everyone is DEAD. yes yanli is dead too. but he finds a still alive wei wuxian. who is turning into a demon. who is the only one who survived. who has become the exact same thing that killed them, killed HER. and of course jiang cheng is gonna try and save him but imagiiineeeeee how mixed the feelings must be.
(yes this is basically "what if yanli didn't survive the massacre" with a twist)
you must imagine that first fight where wei wuxian first wakes up as a demon and attacks jiang cheng on sight. this jiang cheng knows how to fight but he is caught by surprise bit his brother (is it his brother?) is pinning him down by the throat (yes i am imagining that choking scene after the fall of lotus pier reversed) and there is no light of recognition behind those eyes (is it still his brother?)
and what do you think brings wei wuxian back in this scenario? would it be jiang cheng calling his name with fear in his voice? would it be jiang cheng calling him by a nickname only their sister ever used? does wei wuxian think, for a split second, that yanli survived and is calling him and that's what brings him back? is it that jiang cheng himself is not enough, never enough to come back for? does he think about it? does it matter?
