Summary
"This is not what they wanted, and it’s almost enough that they both know that. Yanli knows that it’s not fair, because she has come out with the better half of the bargain--she gets to stay at Lotus Pier with her brothers, her people, her home. Jin Guangyao has been married off, outside of his Clan, practically abandoned to the plain faced sister of a Sect Leader; the second choice after his older brother’s engagement to her fell through with devastating finality. But Jin Guangyao has been patient in all of their meetings, his manner pleasant, his smile gentle."
--
Jin Guangshan gets Jin Guangyao out of JinLinTai almost as soon as he is recognized as his son, marrying him into the Jiang Clan.
Jiang Yanli gets a husband, though it's not the one she expected.
Jin Guangyao gets a family, though it's not the one he worked for.
But maybe that's alright.[Peony to Lotus!Verse]

Summary
“Jiang-furen,” he had said lightly, because it made her wrinkle her nose at the formality-–and she had, and he had smiled. “Would you allow this one to court you?”

Summary
“And so what are you going to do, then, Jin Guangyao? Because this feels an awful lot like a threat,” he demanded, all at once flipping over and sitting up with a scowl, staring at his calm face. “I don't appreciate being manipulated. Bad things tend to happen.”
“This also feels an awful lot like a threat.” When Jin Guangyao smiled back down at him, nothing noticeable in his face had changed and by all rights should still be classified as pleasant, dimples and all. But there was something--maybe the eyes--that all at once had a weight that was not there a moment ago. And maybe a warning. “Are we threatening each other? I wasn't under the impression that's what we were doing.”

Summary
“You need to think again. If you go, it will be considered a rebellion against orthodoxy with no way back.”
Wei Ying’s face darkened and he demanded with the hint of a trapped, disbelieving smile, “Rebellion against orthodoxy? What kind of orthodoxy is that ?”
Jin Guangyao took a step forward, his hands coming up in placation as he grimaced against the onslaught of the rain. “You may be right, but this isn’t the time for ideology--”
---
In a universe where Wei Wuxian has Jin Guangyao as a brother-in-law, a lot of things can change very quickly. Is it possible to stop the fracturing of the Yunmeng siblings before it even begins? Can there be a different way to keep the Wen Remnants safe?

Summary
"Jin Guangyao hated when his thoughts became too much to ignore. It should not happen, he should be able to package this anxiety into a neat little box like every other thing that had ever made his hands shake and get on with his business but here he was, gripping the edge of the window sill tight enough to make his knuckles ache as he simply fought to breathe."
---
Jiang Yanli is pregnant, the Wen's are safe within Lotus Pier, and Jin Guangyao has a good relationship with his brothers-in-law. Things are peaceful. He feels safe and happy.It's awful.
And now, Jiang Cheng wants to talk to him about something. Surely it's not worse than this.
(Jin Guangyao receives the Jiang Sect Clarity Bell in the midst of an anxiety attack and has a very hard time processing the idea that people actively want to be associated with him.)[Peony to Lotus!Verse]
