Why is this heat so hot 😩

[runespoor7]

On top of every other issue having unavowable feelings for JC was for WWX

(in no particular order: being a cutsleeve; fear of doing really stupid stuff that he wouldn't otherwise do, for love; wanting unacceptable things with the son of the dude who took him out of the streets which is never a good look; fear of JC rejecting him; fear of JC giving in so, so easily; the very real risk of yzy flaying him alive)

we kind of have to consider that wwx doesn't respect JC even a little bit, and that meant he was in love with someone who wasn't as good as him, which. well. I guess this also circles back to love making you limit yourself/doing really stupid things.

[runespoor7]

Jfm's influence on WWX's as a Male Role Model is insane. Wwx fully internalized that JC is Like His Hot Mom, ie Mean and Nagging and Too Emotional To Be Reasoned With, and that informs his behaviour with JC about 100% of the time.

everything else in the story aside you know jiang cheng doesn't really want wei wuxian dead because wei wuxian tells him to calm down when he's reminding him just why he can't stand wen ning even after sixteen years and the guy still gets to walk out of that room alive, like

calm down? i'm gonna kill you

1)so it takes wwx about two decades to realize, but like. after wwx got thrown out of cloud recesses? and he left behind a thoroughly worked-up lan zhan? (with jc.) JC only seemed studious and respectful but was in fact a little shit! Lan Zhan would definitely have mistakenly assumed jc was more decent than wwx, and approached him once wwx was gone, and jc was very pretty back then and desperate for friends, sooooooooo... Fffff would lwj have punished JC when he realized JC was almost as bad as wwx but just more careful about not getting caught. Is that why JC doesn't like LWJ.

2)not that? okay so what about when LWJ and JC teamed up to look for WWX during the beginning of the war. WWX's heard how it was, they were partners, went everywhere together looking for WWX - LWJ was there when JC found WWX in LP even! Months, full of tension, depending on one another-- you're saying nothing happened? two good-looking, repressed guys like that? Would even explain the weird vibe WWX got when JC and LWJ found him and JC wanted LWJ gone and LWJ wanted to stick around.

3)wwx was DEAD and GONE for thirteen years. Which is AMPLE time for something sexy and ill-advised to happen. (but sexy. It bears repeating because lwj isn't looking convinced, when he should!) Did they miss wwx together. Not companionable together necessarily ("you'd tell me if you had a Relationship with JC while I was dead huh Lan Zhan.") but miss at one another. Trying to count points. They didn't get along at all, so-- They had a sexy enmity. Right. They kinda had to hatefuck about WWX. (Spoiler: they didn't. WWX's heart is relieved but his dick is sad.)

4)oh, oh, what about that time when JC got cursed in Jinlintai, and the cure was dual cultivation, and-- oh. Lwj was in Gusu. :/ man.

5)okay but now, today, okay wwx means three days ago, right, WWX got wounded and that's why he's in the infirmary at Lotus Pier, and LWJ heard and got worried and flew out here, and this is basically the first time WWX's woken up in two days? And you and JC keep exchanging glances, so. Have you been sneaking around kissing JC because you were worried about me, Lan Zhan.

( +1)"if you get weird about it I will fucking break your legs," JC threatens.

Wwx only beams harder. "Aw, but I thought you meant it as a resurrection anniversary! Wouldn't that ruin the purpose. Tilt your head a little so I can get a better view, will you?"

Obligingly, LWJ pulls on JC's hair until JC's neck is bared, his lips open. It's not totally new to WWX in this context, but LWJ is a new addition, and WWX's dick wants more of it, every time it's possible.

"This is nice. I think it's nice. Don't you think it's nice Lan Zhan? I knew I was right about this."

"Gloating is forbidden," LWJ intones, and swallows JC's snicker.)

once again I'm very tired so instead of coming up with scenarios myself, I'm forcing the rest of you to do it for me. if you would like that shit.

tell me about the five times wei wuxian erroneously assumed lan wangji and jiang cheng were boning (and the one time he was correct, if you'd like)

going insane thinking about the harrow and palamedes friendship. harrow, who has never met another necromancer her age forming a bizarro 3D chess rivalry while pal worries about her safety at every possible turn. harrow, who is up to her eyebrows in paranoia and secrecy, trusting the sixth house with gideon unconscious and hurt, letting them into the ninth house quarters unsupervised. if “i cannot conceive of a universe without you in it” is goth for i love you, “death first to vultures and scavengers” has got to be goth for i love you (platonic). pal’s first reaction when harrow comes into his bubble in the river is to scoop her up in a hug, and at this point she doesn’t remember anything about him because cutting out all her memories of gideon is impossible without cutting out memories of the sixth, but she still makes him a skelehand to inhabit anyway. when harrow’s memories are finally whole, she tells dulcinea she couldn’t face pal knowing that his pen pal girlfriend died on her account, but the next time she “faces” him, palamades’s soul is in someone else’s body and harrow’s body is full of nona’s soul. he spends six months protecting and caring for harrow’s body (and nona obv), believing in the possibility of bringing her back to it the same way cam believed in him. “god, do you know i miss harrow terribly.” and by the time harrow comes back to her body at the very end of ntn, pal is gone forever, fully pauled. the last time harrow and palamades see each other as their complete selves is in canaan house, alive and unlyctored. two of the smartest and loneliest people in the solar system meet each other in the worst of circumstances and spend the rest of the story dancing around each other as fragments of themselves, trying to care about each other in the interim but never fully meeting like they did the first time. a friendship made almost entirely of missing the other person. “do you know i miss harrow terribly.” god. i need to lie down

10k of Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply i’m as surprised as you are Relationships: WWX/JC/WQ Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Blindfolds, Golden Core Transfer (Modao Zushi), Sexual Roleplay, JC getting everything he wants, Smut and Miscommunication, WWX has at least two feelings, Polyamory Negotiations, Established Relationship, Post-Sunshot Campaign (Modao Zushi), we don’t solve shit here we simply consider it, Non-Penetrative Sex, Under-negotiated Kink 

On the one side, Jiang Cheng is getting Everything He Wants: sexy roleplay; a chance to work through the golden core thing; Wei Wuxian and Wen Qing and a happy ending.

Wei Wuxian and Wen Qing navigate these waters. (Also, fraught feelings that it’s imperative that JC never. know. about. but mostly smut.)

(for the regulars on this blog the fraught feelings are those about WWX using WQ to hurt JC and WQ wanting to not do hard dom stuff every time.)

alas poor unmatchable offer

I discover the existence of a noncon fic exchange where the signups are open until Saturday the 14th. This is dangerous.

What do we think about Untamed-verse WWX nonconning WN. It sounds intriguing but the delineation between dubcon and noncon seems closer to dubcon at first thought than to noncon (to my thought).

like mother like son passed on her love for tall big tiddy goths

*less than a week after posting a fic where JC cries but it was extremely and enthusiastically consensual. especially on his side:* god.... it's been too long since chengxian (or assorted: ningcheng, chengqingxian...) jc-whump....

As I have been reminded:

Lewyn's boyhood crush on Erinys' Hot Older Sister vs WWX thinking YZY is hot

me comparing Lewyn (Lewyn/Erinys) and WWX (chengxian)

it's about the obnoxiousness. the mixed messages. the not being even a little cool about it.

characters who are canonically described with feminine connotations:

- wwx (gave birth to a-yuan etc)

- lwj (wwx imagining a domestic scene of lwj spending the day weaving while wwx works outside, wwx imagining lqr being furious at him for stealing his cabbage)

- jc (is like his mother)

- jl (young mistress)

characters who canonically aren't:

- nhs

the modern western normativity is transparent

Actually, 'Zelda' is the name of the princess. The guy who runs around smashing everyone's pots is just called 'Zelda's monster'.
