three cheers for literacy

Of all the people who get sent back in time in fics to fix things in The Untamed/MDZS, I think Wen Qing is my favorite. Speed and efficiency, everyone! Wen Qing is not here to mess around.

I went with The Untamed chronology, which is to say that there is no chronology and A-Yuan ages only in accordance with narrative convenience. Because magic. *nods*

Summary: If Wen Qing had realized sooner that she wasn’t in the afterlife or hallucinating, but had actually traveled back in time, she’d have done things differently. There’d have been less murder, for one thing.

Because it is always a good time to pick up a random fandom rather than finish any of my EIGHT MILLION WIPs, here is a fic for The Untamed. Soon enough I'll read the book, too, and then this whole problem will get worse. Haha.

And remember: if canon belongs to no discernible era, there can be no anachronism. (Though I did take out the reference to welding, since it seemed like the Industrial Revolution might be going too far.) (That said, I'm considering leaving in the lighting rods.)

Summary: The good news is that Lan Jingyi has found a mentor, friend, and constant companion through the difficulties in life.

The bad news is that that’s because he’s been accidentally possessed by the Yiling Patriarch.
