''Everyone Lives With Knives'' is a fic series by tucuxi based on ''Series/TheUntamed''. It diverges from the main series when Wei Wuxian notices Su She at Qiongqi Path and kills him. This action results in Jin Zixuan's survival, and the series deviates more heavily from there.

!! This series provides examples of the following:
* AdaptationalHeroism: Jin Guangyao, once his character development has kicked in. By the end of "What Could Have Been", he is truly loyal to his half-brother's family.
* BabiesMakeEverythingBetter: Variant in that they’re not his own children and it's not his own marriage, but Jin Guangyao’s situation and personality alike are greatly improved thanks to the four children Yanli and Zixuan have.
* BecomingTheMask: Jin Guangyao goes from using his nieces and nephews’ need for his care as a way to increase his own fortune to genuinely loving them.
* BlatantLies: Jin Guangyao does not love his nieces and nephews and does not melt whenever he gets affection from the children, no, not at all.
* DeathByChildbirth: Narrowly averted for Jiang Yanli. In-series her mother-in-law assumes that this will happen to her.
* FirstNameBasis: After seeing him with his nieces and nephews, Nie Mingjue use Jin Guangyao’s full name for the first time.
* FourIsDeath: Discussed but narrowly averted with Jiang Yanli's fourth child. She has a difficult pregnancy and an early childbirth that nearly kills her and the baby.
* ForWantOfANail: Wei Wuxian notices Su She at Qiongqi path and kills him, preventing Zixuan’s death. He then quickly surrenders and destroys the Stygian Tiger Amulet.
** This results in Zixuan surviving Qiongqi, though Zixun is still killed. Zixuan’s survival means that he and Yanli have several more children, spurring the beginning of "What Could Have Been”.
** The presence of the children prompts Jin Guangyao’s redemption.
** With Jin Guangyao too busy helping run the Jin Sect and look after his nieces and nephews, he hasn’t had time to play music for Nie Mingjue. Lan Wangji plays instead; there are implications that the music is genuinely helping Mingjue, as his appearances in "What Could Have Been" and later on in "Always walked a very thin line" show his temper is in better control.
* HappilyMarried: Jiang Yanli and Jin Zixuan. Zixuan is known to be devoted to her, spending a lot of time with her when she is recovering from giving birth to Jin Hua.
* HeelFaceTurn: Jin Guangyao has one of these.
* HeelRealization: Very subtle one, but Jin Guangyao realizes that the neglect baby Jin Hua has been subjected to could well be traced to the rumors he himself encouraged that the baby was cursed. While he mentally admits that he was willing to let the child die at first, he works very hard to keep his nephew alive from that point on, even getting the baby food and letting him sleep in his room at night himself.
* InSpiteOfANail: Jin Guangyao still ends up pushed down the steps at Koi tower a second time, and then learns the song of turmoil to worsen an advancing mental condition. Only this time it’s his own father rather than Nie Mingjue.
** A-Yuan still ends up at Cloud Recesses…with the rest of the Wen Remnants
* {{Irony}}: A conversation in "Always walked a very thin line" shows that most of the Nie characters fear for the Jin children now in Jin Guangyao's care. Those who have read “What Could Have Been” know that Jin Guangyao is at that very moment developing into a true ally of the four children, and wouldn't dare hurt them.
* LoveRedeems: Platonic version. Jin Guangyao’s love of his nieces and nephews prompts his Heel-Face Turn.
** Wei Wuxian's love for A-Yuan and Jin Ling prompts him to stay calm and avoid giving into resentful energy.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Nie Huaisang, as in canon. Unlike in canon, Mingjue is on to him to a degree. Wei Wuxian is on to him fully.
* {{Patricide}}: A very, very justified one by Jin Guangyao, who worsens Jin Guangshan's STD-induced disease until it becomes fatal.
* PromotionToParent: Jin Guangyao serves as a temporary one to his four nieces and nephews, including a sickly, premature infant whom he keeps with him at nights.
** A throwaway line by Nie Mingjue suggests that he was one of these with his own brother, as is Xichen with A-Yuan.
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: The children’s nurse. Madam Jin claims she ran off with a man. Jin Guangyao believes it was due to Madam Jin herself.
* ShellShockedVeteran: Everyone from the sunshot campaign is suffering from this. Jin Guangyao specifically has a freak-out with one of his nieces hits her head and nearly draws his sword.
** Wei Wuxian too, worsened by his resentful cultivation. He seems to be recovering, however.
* SilkHidingSteel: Jiang Yanli. After one meal with her, Jin Guangyao knows not to cross her.
* SingleTear: Lan Xichen cries one of these when Wei Wuxian is admitting why he cannot cultivate anymore.
* {{Unishment}}: Wei Wuxian is honestly relieved to be told to stop cultivating and to not have to look after everyone anymore
* WiseBeyondTheirYears: Jin Qing, who is very inquisitive and whose trust of Jin Guangyao is taken very seriously by those around her.
* WouldHurtAChild: Jin Guangyao subverts this. He's perfectly willing to imply he'd hurt Jin Ling to keep Wei Wuxian in line, and considers all sorts of ways to keep him and his siblings in line...but as soon as he’s confronted by a very sick Jin Hua, he does everything to keep him alive.
* YouAreNotAlone: From Mingjue to Jin Guangyao - “Rest. You need not do everything alone.”
* YouCanAlwaysTellALiar: Exploited by Jin Guangyao, who works to convince his brother that he’s got a specific tell when he lies.
