Outside POV Body Horror Wei Wuxian fics?

Fanfic

I really want a fic that leans into the horror aspects of Wei Wuxian’s return from the Burial Mounds. Canon (and a lot of fanfic) focuses a lot on the psychological toll or his reputation, but I want something that actually makes him feel like a figure out of a horror movie—something viscerally wrong.

Specifically, I’m looking for fics where:

  • WWX comes out of the Burial Mounds physically altered—maybe undead, zombie-like, or kept alive by demonic cultivation in a way that’s clearly unnatural.
  • There’s a real sense of body horror—necrotic skin, unhealed wounds, a feeling that he shouldn’t be moving but is.
  • His aura or presence is disturbing—people instinctively recoil from him, or he unnerves cultivators just by existing
  • He feels like a revenant, a cursed being, a monster shaped by death and resentment
  • I’d love to see this from the perspective of others—whether that’s Lan Wangji, the Wens, Jin Zixuan, Jiang Cheng, random cultivators, whoever.
  • Not really looking for comfort/romance/whump unless it still keeps the horror vibe strong.

If there are any fics like this out there, please send them my way.
