Posting the last of my screamfest with Morty (@adelmortescryche ) it kept flooding out until it turned into THIS. Yeah. I honestly have no idea if I’ll write this. It’s damn tempting, not gonna lie, but I make no promises. Just venting this all out is making me want to go on a Rant again lol. Anyway, thank you guys for enjoying me and Morty’s endless shouting, it was a lot of fun!
WHAT IF THE FIC HAS WEN XU AS AN ACTUALLY DECENT PERSON
AND ICHIGO IS THE ONLY ONE WHO REALIZES IT
what if, WHAT IF, in this fic, ichigo meets wen xu or has a glimpse of him and ichigo, who is able to read people better than anyone, sees wen xu is not a monster, theres more to him that meets the eye
and he tells wen qing this. and wen qing is obviously VERY SCEPTICAL but ichigo has not strayed her wrong yet. so she sneakily goes up to wen xu, subtly asks his opinions on his father, hints at a revolution going on in the background headed by one growing unknowing sect leader kurosaki ichigo
and wen xu is, intrigued. and he and ichigo set up a meeting and they find out, oh, oooh, i like this guy
this guy might be the key to everything
and then SUNSHOT HAPPENS.
AND WEN XU IS HELPING THE ONES RESISTING, SAVING AS MUCH OF HIS PEOPLE AS HE COULD.
and during the war, i dont like the idea of ichigo outright fighting. only when he has to to protect the ones he love.
so ichigo is in the background, helping out wen soldiers and other sect soldiers, saving them and sending them to wen qing or wen qing’s other healers cause why the fuck would wen qing not have disciples who learn the healing arts, why isnt this a thing
so ichigo helps, ichigo fights when he has to
and then he hears wen xu has to fight in the war and ichigo’s like no fucking way
so he does what anyone in his position would do
he fucking kidnaps the wen’s prince and runs the fuck away
wen xu disguised in ridiculous getups. wen xu and ichigo just going around, seeing the world during war time and wen xu revealing himself to people ichigo feels they can trust to other sects.
in the meantime, theres jc who ichigo likes, and wei wuxian really likes, who they rescue after the lotus pier burns. jc loses his core. ichigo does not give a shit
wei wuxian brightly teaching jc the dark arts mwahaha cause jc has to have power in order to protect his remaining sect and sister and ichigo DEFINITELY approves
ichigo totally understands
so now, they have jc who meets wen xu, and its pandemonium
"why the fuck is there a wen dog here?”
“the only dog i see is you, you biteless mutt”
so now jc is added to the party of “ichigo’s protected ones”
and jc goes to the summit where they’re deciding whether they should go to war.
and jc is of course, of course, all like let’s fucking go
actually, not sure if wen xu would be “kidnapped” that early cause he fights a little later in the war. so maybe instead, ichigo just tells jc “i have an informat” to jc instead of jc meeting wen xu.
its only later jc will hunt ichigo down, who has by that point kidnapped wen xu, and jab a finger in the wen’s direction, seething
“I told you i have an informat”
“you didn’t say your informat was the fucking wen prince wtf ichigo?
and wen xu is just, enjoying the utter chaos ichigo is causing for everyone
anyway, ooooh, what if meng yao "defects”, ends up in wen courts, and meets wen xu. and wen xu is sharp and knows meng yao is a spy, but wen xu is not sure who meng yao is a spy for
so he questions him in the back discretely and they both realize they both know ichigo
“you know ichigo sir?? how???”
“of course kurosaki knows you. of course. this is so damn typical of him”
and they are allies from then on, bonded over ichigo’s absolute ridiculousness
hell, maybe meng yao helps ichigo kidnap wen xu.
and ichigo is like, meng yao, wow, what the fuck are you doing here you brat?
hey, so, we gotta go but if you ever need anything, just call. wei wuxian made these communication token thingies so you can talk to me on this.
or hey, i could kidnap you later? if you’re in trouble?
“what, no! ichigo, by the end of this war, people might paint you as a villain, kidnapper. they’ll rake your name into the ground”
“okay” thumbs up “thats fine. still gonna do it”
wen xu is laughing in the background
but by the end, ichigo has hidden wen xu away. and when the wen leader dies, wen xu appears and takes the throne and calls off the war.
and people are like where the fuck have you been?
wen xu dead eye stares at them
“or vacation, same difference.”
and at the side is ichigo, who jc nearly calls out but stops himself cause he’s not a complete idiot
unlike wei wuxian who takes one look at jc and brightens like the sun and crying out his name in joy
you idiot! stop acting like we’re friends!
all the sects are very very very confused
nie mingjue calls for wen xu’s head and ichigo is ready to fight
and the people who were saved by ichigo in other sects speak up for ichigo. ichigo winning hearts and loyalty from other sects and are defended because they owe life debts to ichigo
and ichigo is confused over this life debt thing, he just did what anyone else would do but whatever. he’ll take advantage of this to save wen xu’s life
and somehow wen xu becomes wen leader and willing to make peace and trade territories and when people check balance him he’s like thats fair
wen xu is a very rational person
its freaking people out lol
and wen qing is his second cause come on, theyve been helping each other out, keeping the other safe, bonding over ichigo’s everything
(thats a running theme, people bonding over how impossible kurosaki ichigo is)
jc is the head of a sect and does demon cultivation.
what the fuck how are people supposed to deal with that
luckily jc has a great reputation during the war, before the war, for being a reasonable, somewhat tempermental young man
and come on, you really want to go against the entire jiang sect? really? with freaking ichigo behind him?
its not like they can kick him out of the jiang sect either, he’s the freaking leader of it and his sister is not a viable option
that infuriates jc more how dare people think his sister isn’t capable? (he has his priorities straight, ichigo really likes this kid)
so wen xu being alive destroys any possibility of the jins taking the wen renmants, cause of course such a thing wouldn’t exist.
jins are incensed. the nies grudgingly might like this wen xu with how they’re screwing over the jins
ah, also, meng yao and nie mingjue are forced to talk things out as xichen is, like i said before, an ineffectual nice guy and won’t strongarm them to try and understand the other’s position.
ichigo will grind his fist into meng yao’s skull and have him choke out some honesty.
and nie mingjue is so disarmed by ichigo’s behavior that hes not as guarded when meng yao haltingly explains his role, he’s loyal to mingjue, he really is, and he’s sorry. he’s sorry.
“are you sorry you killed them or sorry that it lost my respect for you?”
