Hello~ Do you know of any fics where Yanli doesn’t push WWX away in time and doesn’t die? Idk if that makes sense 😅
Here’s some fics where JYL Lives but WWX Still Dies Taking the Sword Hit :
Survival by Jinko (40K, Explicit, Series)
(Canon Divergence, WWX Dies, JYL Lives, WQ Lives, Suicidal Thoughts)
Jiang YanLi didn't die on the battlefield.
Jiang YanLi reminds Lan WangJi that he has a son and a nephew he can't abandon as he mourns.
“Lan Zhan, I’m So Cold” by Peytonriri (1K, Mature)
(Major Character Death, WWX Dies, JYL Lives, Episode 32 Related, Angst, Crying!LWJ)
Where instead of Yanli getting the sword through the chest it Wei Ying that gets impaled as Lan Zhan watch his lover die in his arms slowly and painfully
“Làn Zhàn...I’m so cold” he whispered

(Canon Divergence, Major Character Death, Grief/Mourning, Execution, Angst, Hopeful Ending
Wei Ying wasn't paying attention. He was blind to everyone else. He was vulnerable. He didn't notice the attacker behind him.
Lan Wangji wasn't fast enough.
What if it wasn't Jiang Yanli who took the sword hit for Wei Wuxian, but someone else.
Rated M for graphic depictions of violence, blood, political death sentence, and intense mourning/depression. Please read at your own risk. MAJOR CHARACTER DEATH.
Mod note: (The last fic ^^^ is not exactly what you’re looking for, nonny, but if you still want to read an angsty fic where WWX dies and JYL lives, you should read this one. It’s a beautiful fic and also an absolute tear-jerker, so this is a heads up because LWJ is the one who takes the sword hit and WWX dies after him!)
