Au where hualian are the same age. 10 year old Xie Lian saves equally 10 year old Hong-er (admittedly I couldn't figure out how a wee child saves another from falling off a ridiculously high wall but if you can think of a way I highly encourage it)

And of course, they are immediately besties, so Xie Lian's parents are all "Of course you can keep a cute little orphan boy, sweetie. Let's just send him down to (insert head of servant title here), and they'll get him cleaned up. When he's less raggedy and feral, he can be your personal cook or something. How does that sound?"

Xie Lian thinks that it sounds better than leaving Hong-er on the streets, but there's definitely room for improvement.

Cue shenanigans as the pair repeatedly do everything in their 10 year old power to be within arms reach of each other.

Where's Xie Lian? He's late for his lessons.

Next to Hong-er, cutting vegetables

Ok Xie Lian is at his lessons. What's with this large, oddly placed vase?

Hong-er is there

Why has Xie Lian's calligraphy tanked suddenly?

They accidentally handed over Hong-er's practice work

This idea is strangely spiraling away from me but I'll try to pace myself

Au/fic where post cannon Xie Lian time travels back to book 4, whether it's body swap, gaining memories or there's just two Xie Lians, doesn't matter. Though for the bit we'll say it's a body swap thing. So obviously this most likely wouldn't happen because trauma and what not but I think I'd be really funny if XL just started trolling JW/BWX

BWX: We're one in the same

XL: that's crazy

BWX: ...

XL: Now if you excuse me I got to go back to busking :3

BWX appearing in a mirror or something

FX: Your Highness? What are you looking at?

XL, staring directly at BWX: My eyes, were they always this brown? (Or really anything about his appearance)

BWX pulling XL into a hug

XL: Personal space please :/

XL fawning over ghost flame HC

BWX: Has his Highness really lost all hope that he has turned to the comfort of ghosts

XL: he's more then deserved it :,]

BWX: ???

HC: :O

XL: We both can't wait to put you under a mountain in 8 centuries

BWX: ????????????

XL: :D

XL: I miss my husband :[

BWX: ???

XL: I'll be back, your Highness

BWX: ...

BWX: wait

Wulian as a flower

I have already written a post about the language of flowers, but I love symbolism so we are going back to this. When I was defending my project "The Language of Flowers in Classical Literature", one girl realized that I knew TGCF and asked about the meaning of a white flower. I think it is interesting. We were not told the name of the flower. In fact, all flowers of this color have "purity" and "innocence" in their meaning. It suits Xie Lian, right?

BUT. WHITE LILY.

“Justice and integrity, sincerity of feelings” (Wu Ming!!), but in another meaning, the white lily is a funeral flower, which is placed at the funeral ceremony (Calamity Xie Lian). The wulian themselves are the personification of this flower.

I fucking love Wu Ming

They are both so normal. Definitely nothing wrong with them or anything <33

I finished no paths are bound like a week ago and it has been all i've been able to think about. the thought about xie lian creating tapestries so beautiful athena would cry in shame yet being unable to see his own art. the knowledge that he cannot recognize his loved one's face but he knows the contours of their soul. the wu ming curse making hua cheng unable to tell his god that he’s here and alleviate the pain he's going through. the characters like zhao beitong and shuo being so dear to me if feels wrong when i read something without them. can't we all agree to pretend these details were always here?
