#Wei ying gun rights

[mdzs-owns-my-ass-i-guess]

Event planning

Inspired by me watching too many wedding shows

"I really don't know what to do for my bachelorette party!" Yanli sighed, shutting her laptop a bit too forcefully. "Every idea I've seen is just so... weird!"

"What, not into the strip club thing?" Wei Ying laughed as he emerged with an armful of snacks after rummaging through her pantry. "The peacock would freak out if you did that, it would be so funny! I can already imagine him screaming, crying, throwing up about it!"

Yanli sighed and sent him a stern look. "A-Xian."

"Going to a strip club for a bachelor or bachelorette party is just downright disrespectful in my opinion." Wen Qing chimed in, handing Yanli a glass of champagne. "How can you claim you're excited about getting married if you act like a horn dog around strangers the night before?"

Wei Wuxian helped himself with a glass of his own. "Yeah, true. I don't know how I would've reacted if Lan Zhan wanted that for his bachelor party when we married."

Wen Qing flicked his forehead. "As if Lan Wangji would be in any way interested in anyone that isn't you!"

"I did prank him that I wanted to go to a strip club for my own bachelor's." A suggestive smile. "That went just about as well as you can imagine."

An eye roll. "Yeah, we know, he fucked the idea right out of you."

"As he always does ♡"

"This still doesn't fix my problem, though!" Yanli whined, sinking into the plush sofa of her living room. "It was so easy for A-Xuan, he knew right away he wanted to go to the family chalet with his friends to go hunting and whatnot..."

"Who says we can't do the same? You don't even need guns, have Wen Qing glare at a deer and you'll get stew in no time."

Wen Qing gave him one of her best glares, inadvertedly proving his point. "I will pour this champagne glass on your head, Wei Wuxian, don't test me."

"Shijie will be upset if you do that and we're here to help her, right?"

Wen Qing gulped her entire champagne glass, then her face lit up with an idea. "Why don't we go on a little trip ourselves then?"

Yanli shook her head. "It would be so expensive booking something last minute..."

"You are marrying into so much money, Shijie, the peacock has been basically begging you to spend it. Pick something nice like the Maldives or Bora Bora and let's go!"

"The bachelorette party is for bachelorettes, Wei Wuxian." Wen Qing flicked his forehead again. "You have a husband. And a son. And like 100 rabbits. You are also a man. You don't qualify."

"Maybe so, but shijie loves me so very much, she wouldn't leave me behind, would she?"

Yanli patted his head with sympathy. "As much as I may love you, A-Xian, it is a ladies only event..."

"I can pretend to be a lady! Lan Zhan says I look good in dresses!"

Yanli giggled. "I'm sure you do, A-Xian."

"Can't I just... pilot the plane or something?" A playful nose scrunch. "You won't fly public, right?"

"Look at him, scrunching his face like that!" Wen Qing laughed. "What, you're too rich for Spirit Airlines now?"

"I'm not, Lan Zhan is. I'm just taking after him! Anyway, where are we going, shijie?"

Yanli sighed, fondly. "Let's see what we can find."

I need modern hualian adopting little Wei Ying abo au, but like. With main families as the most influential people in China, smth like chaebol in Korea (like, the Jins could be taking care of the jewelry business, because they;re rich, so they can have a bunch of mines with gold and diamonds all around the world and the Nies could be producing things for the military, like guns and stuff)

And Hua Cheng is this new, young money guy, whose hella successful. He's taking care of the whole "underworld", like mafia and stuff, maybe he killed his ex boss or smth, and he opened new, big company, whose making cars and technology or he opened a bunch of clubs and casinos, smth like that. And Xie Lian is an ex model, fashion designer, he inherited his company from his parents and it's really, really popular and successful

So to the main plot, Hualian can't have kids, they tried countless times and Xie Lian miscarried a lot of times, and he's in the hospital and Hua Cheng met little A-Ying in there, whose parents just died in a car accident. And they both instantly have a connection and so hualian adopts this little kid (background, before the last miscarriage, they made a deal with eo, that if it won't work out, they will adopt) so A-Ying is like they miracle baby and a few weeks later he's theirs and happy and a new heir to their companies

And it would end with Wangxian of course. Like. I can see that, maybe they're in the same school, falling in love and just being happy. And some angst there's too. Oh, and Wei Ying is a model for his dad's company! And a painter! And he likes to draw some of his own fashion designs! And his golden boy, whatever he tries he nails it and so he can play instruments and hey loves sport. And he's totally a badass, so maybe boxing or smth. And he has a motorcycle! But he's bad at cooking obviously and some other "omega stuff", like cleaning, being always nice and respectful (excuse me, have you met his father?) and polite and silent etc.

And so like. I can see a few scenes. Like, all of the big families gave max. 5 years till Hua Cheng's company fall and boom, it was like 20 years and he became even more powerful (and rich) than all of them together so they want him in their little circle and he's like "nah, I don't need you for anything, I don't want your little noses in my business" and they met in like their usual, favorite gentleman's club to "talk" and then San Lang's like "nope, bye, but the drinks on me", because his owns that club apparently (which they didn't know about) and so they talk with the barman and he's like " yeah, the new boss is more scary, but he treats us right and if you want some business with him, I suggest to go through his husband. What do you mean you don't know who that is, I believe your suits are of his project")

And another one! So they have dinner at Hualians summer house and all of them with the wives and the kids go there and E-ming's a dog (Tibetan mastiff), A-Ying's dog (because he loves them, he was there when he's biological parents died and there was a dog who stayed with him the whole time, before the rescue team arrieved) and it was his first request when he moved in with Hualian, and Hua Cheng was like "you know what, that's a great idea. My little onega son's gotta have the best and most scary fucking guardian when we can't see him when he's in the other fucking room, I'm fucking on it". And Wei Ying and Xie Lian have pet snakes! White Ruoye and Black Chenching!

And about the world building, the main families are very traditional and closed off (like Lans for example) and so they're like "fuck Omega rights" and then there's Xie Lian, who owns his own fashion company and is doing charity and he's very loved and influential (and a badass) and they're like "woah, how can his alpha allow him that" and when they meet they're son whose like "so you think I;m as pretty as my dad? Woah, thank you for the complement, but I'm adopted". And of course Jin Guangyao wants to have some connection with them so he's like "I know that my wife promised her bestie that our children will marry, but hear me out-"

And of course as soon as they adopted little A-Ying they changed his surname and destroyed all of the records that he was in that accident, so no one would ask him questions in the future, so he won't have to relive the trauma again, so the Jiangs don't know that Wei Ying is Wei Ying, because he's Hua Ying now and yeah. And I hadn't decide yet if I want to do Jiang Fengmian dirty, but maybe he wanted the little omega son of his ex right hand man to marry his own son but yeah, I don't know. Maybe. But for sure, Jiang Fengmian and Lady Ziyuan married just because they slept with eo and she became pregnant young. And I don't know what to do about the Wens, but I want Wen Ning and Wen Qing to be Wei Ying's besties, like. Yeah

Like, you don't understand, I have this in my head and I can't stop thinking about it and I want to read it so bad, but there's no modern aus with hualian adopting Wei Wuxian and I'm so desperate that I would write it myself, but I don't have this much time and skils, please someone competent do it. I wish fics could just appear themselves when we think about them

[gravitywonagain]

Okay, I know, I know. I said I was gonna do Whumptober and then I just... didn't. But! In my defense! I think this ticks boxes for the first three days (which I know is not the point, but work with me here, I'm broken and wrote this instead of reading for class).

No. 1 A LITTLE OUT OF THE ORDINARY: Adverse Effects | Unconventional Restraints | “This wasn’t supposed to happen” No. 2 NOWHERE TO RUN: Cornered | Caged | Confrontation No. 3 A HAIR’S BREADTH FROM DEATH: Gun to Temple | “Say goodbye.” | Impaled

Wei Wuxian is not all here. Oh, also, major character death... yeah... okay :D This isn't a nice drabble, not a happy ending, but maybe you'll like it anyway? I'm sorry and thank you <3

[M, 1k, Wangxian (implied), AU: canon-divergent]

--

It was surprisingly easy to stop Hanguang-jun, to hold him in place. Wei Wuxian barely even had to task the resentment; it leapt at the challenge, at the bare notion in his will, wrapping around this jiandao cultivator’s limbs and trunk and bringing him to his knees. It bit and stung at his skin where it touched him -- six layers of silk protected most of him, but his neck and face, his hands were uncovered. The tips of his ears had gone red with… fury? Embarrassment? It was difficult for Wei Wuxian to tell. It was more difficult for him to care. Dead voices were loud in his head; living voices were calling for his blood. 

Lan Zhan was silent. He didn’t struggle, he didn’t speak. He stared at Wei Wuxian across the long spine of the rooftop, focused and intent, like he could rekindle the telepathic bond they’d shared once on another bloody night. 

An arrow lodged itself into Wei Wuxian’s chest and his body jolted with it. That wasn’t right. He’d been shot in the shoulder. Last time. Last time? 

He pulled the arrow from his body and looked at it. As he watched, smoke rose from his sleeve, wound around the tip, and licked his blood from the wood and iron. He felt something similar curling around and through the hole in his flesh. It tickled. 

Send it back, said the dead, repay him for our pains. 

What pain? Wei Wuxian couldn’t feel much of anything anymore. 

He threw the arrow back. He didn’t look, but the gasps from the gathered sects told him the dead had hit the mark. The mark was dead. 

Lan Zhan was still silent. Was that by choice? Did he finally run out of things to say to his lost-cause of a zhiji? His eyes were wide -- pleading and broken and afraid. Was he afraid of Wei Wuxian? He should be, probably. Wei Wuxian could feel his control slipping as the seal in his sleeve grew louder and more persistent. It wanted blood, see. And the war was over. But blood was plenty, pumping, provocative. Jin Guangshan had brought it a feast. Was that his plan? To seduce it away?

It didn’t matter. Wei Wuxian was so tired. 

Another arrow pierced him, his core this time. Or. Where his core would be. Was. Before. An interesting choice of targets. 

Lan Zhan screamed -- no longer silent; it must have been choice, then -- as thick, black smoke began to pour out of Wei Wuxian’s lower dantian. The scream was loud, raw, and Hanguang-jun began to fight against the ghosts holding him in place. 

The binding was never meant to be permanent, not really. Wei Wuxian would have let him go in a heartbeat. But. It was too late for that. 

A splitting sound accompanied a jolt of pain from his kneecap to his collarbones as the roof spine broke under the weight of him. The pain was-- nice. His power poured from him and left him vulnerable. So vulnerable. Another arrow. Another. Two more. Each one sharp and hot -- welcome after so many months spent cold and numb. 

Wei Wuxian looked over at Lan Zhan again. He was struggling and the ghosts were tightening around him with his every motion. It wasn’t going well. Not for either of them. He was yelling, too. Calling out for “Wei Ying! Wei Ying!” Wei Wuxian wasn’t sure who he wanted. Was it the boy who’d badgered him in the library? The inferior son of a servant who was playing with power he couldn’t hope to control? Was it-- Could it be the friend, the zhiji who’d fought by his side for years and years, who loved him and wanted for nothing but Lan Zhan’s attention and praise?

None of those people existed anymore. Wei Wuxian wasn’t sure any of them ever had. He knew that none of them could ever exist again. Not after what he was about to do. 

The tiger seal rose above the battlefield, light as smoke, black as shadow. It shivered as he promised it blood, as he fed it with the resentment bubbling out of him. He felt its anticipation brimming over and the bloodlust of it coiled in his own gut like a rising orgasm. 

His chin was wet, he noticed. His cheeks, too. He licked his lower lip: iron. 

Lan Zhan was glowing inside the cocoon of resentful dead that still held him. Wei Wuxian wished he could let him go, wished he didn’t have to watch. His name was still falling from those perfect lips. He couldn’t hear it anymore. 

When the seal shattered, shards of metal, no bigger than filings, rained down on the gathered masses and they stuck their hands out to catch the pieces like children catching snowflakes. 

Then Wei Wuxian felt his bones crack, his flesh tear, his lungs empty. The promises he’d broken exacting their toll. He slumped on the roof. His vision began to fail, black spilling in like his smoke, his shadows, until there was nothing left. His ears were ringing. He felt himself lifted, hands under his arms, around his waist, but he couldn’t move. There was shaking, too, jerky -- the kind he’d felt when he’d told Shijie that Lotus Pier was gone. But what would Shijie be doing here, on a battlefield? He thought, maybe, there were more hands, more than two. But numbers were becoming difficult. The cold was gone. That was nice. There was a gravity tugging at him and he really didn’t have any reason to fight it anymore. So he didn’t. 

He didn’t.

Wei Ying spends just another normal day at his job as a security officer... wait. Who's that sketchy guy? “Excuse me, sir. May I see your pass?” “Of course, my pass is right here.” The man smirked as he pulled a gun.

[lilnasxvevo]

I definitely feel like Lan Wangji was more…sensible? as a teenager/young adult, like, more prone to thinking things over before acting, but after the time jump it’s just like. Wei Ying says okay I know where Chifeng-zun’s head is so let’s burst into Jin Guangyao’s personal rooms guns-a-blazing right fucking now and Lan Wangji is like GREAT plan what could go wrong I’m right behind u bb

[silverflame2724]

Based on yet another YouTube short.

I know I should be getting to the prompts you guys give me but these ideas seem to take precedence.

_________________

“You’re never going to be found, so don’t get your hopes up.” Su-something said as he pointed a gun at a rather tired-looking Wei Wuxian.

“Hope? I do not know her.” Wei Wuxian said morosely as he rubbed him the l dark circles under his eyes as best as he could with his bound hands.

“……what.”

“Uh, the planet’s dying, I got student loans up the asshole—I hate customer service.” Wei Wuxian ranted. “I hate it.”

Su-something’s face - and Wei Wuxian swore that he remembered his name…..not - twisted with something like confusion. “Are you…..relieved that I kidnapped you?”

“I haven’t slept in three days.” Wei Wuxian was in near tears. “My life sucks, dude.”

“I could kill you or torture you.”

Wei Wuxian would have smirked if he had the energy for it. Now, he absentmindedly flicked dirt from his fingernails. “At least then I’d be in the hearts of the people, you know?” He shook his head helplessly. “No one cares about retail workers.”

The guy threatening him with a gun seemed to shake his head in disbelief. ‘Did I get the wrong guy?’ Is what his face seemed to be saying. “Maybe I should put you back—”

In any other situation, Wei Wuxian would have been ashamed of the sheer amount of panic that laced through him at those words. “Please, god, no!! I can’t take it anymore!” The other still didn’t seem inclined so Wei Wuxian hurried on, “Give me like three or four days to just, like, rest and wait till the gofundme money starts coming through.”

“Are you…..asking me to let you crash here?”

“I’ll be quiet!”

“Ugh, whatever.”

“Oh, gods, thank you, man, you’re a real lifesav—”

BOOM!

A large crash echoed out from somewhere and within seconds the Su guy who had kidnapped him had been knocked out and taken away by some men dressed in black.

“Wei Ying!!” Called a frantic, familiar voice.

“Lan Zhan?” The quiet, rather cute man he met at a coffee shop (and then continued to meet over the course of a year) had run in after the Su guy was taken away and started undoing the handcuffs shackling his hands.

“I’m so sorry, Wei Ying. Su Minshan was after me. He took you, thinking he could get one over me.”

Wei Wuxian looked tiredly at his friend and whined, “Lan Zhan!! Couldn’t you have waited for just a few more days?! I could finally have a break from that stupid customer service job and now I have to go back!!”

Lan Zhan just looked at him, shocked.

“……What is it? Why are you looking at me like that?”

“I was…..not expecting that reaction.”

“Huh?”

“I just told your life was in danger because of me. And you…..aren’t angry at me.”

“Oh, uhh, honestly speaking, I sorta figured you were part of the mafia.”

Lan Zhan’s face was in disbelief.

“Well, it’s true! Your men weren’t exactly conspicuous, even dressed as normal customers at the coffee shop we frequently met at and you always seemed to know where I am! I saw the outline of a gun in your shirt a few times too.” Wei Wuxian yawned. “Though I have to say it wasn’t that that made me think your were of the mafia. I used to be a part of the Jiangs, you know? Before they disowned me, I went with them once or twice when I was young and I saw you with the Lans.”

“Oh…..I see.”

“Mmhm, though Lan Zhan, the fact that I am not reacting right now is a testament to how tired I am. I’m well and truly too mentally drained to think beyond facts that I already know. Now can I sleep, please? Oh! Maybe you can….I dunno, like, kidnap me for a few days? I really don’t want to go back to work right now.”

“Okay.”

“Thanks.” Wei Wuxian mumbled before dropping into a dead sleep.

Lan Wangji picked Wei Wuxian up and carried him to his car. It was so easy to bring Wei Ying back with him. And even easier to get him to rest a ‘while’ in his estate.

But now the problem is……how could he get Wei Ying to stay by his side forever?

[sunarntarou]

okay but can we talk about a buzzfeed unsolved au-- juniors edition

The juniors start a youtube channel called Cultivation: Untamed

They investigate famous cultivation incidents rumored to be the result of demonic cultivation

It starts as a mini-series of episodes to debunk myths about the yiling patriarch. But then it grows from there

They start researching more incidents and decide to debunk those too

Their channel gains traction, and soon they have their own little corner of the internet

No one dares to say they can't do it because they have way too many Famous People backing them

The energy of them going to haunted places? Unparalleled.

Zizhen: I’ve connected the dots. Jingyi: you didn't connect shit. Zizhen: I’ve connected them

Fairy is their mascot. They bring Fairy with them and inevitably get scared whenever he starts barking at nothing.

Jingyi is adamant that he is not scared at all. “hey there demons, it’s me, ya boy”. He talks big game of making fun of spirits until the flashlight starts blinking. 

Jin Ling is also very loudly not scared, fuck off. He covers his fear with anger in true Jiang Cheng form. “fuck you, goatman, this is my bridge now!!” and he always brings Fairy with him because Fairy is the bestest boy not because he’s scared or anything, of course not

Zizhen is scared, yeah, but less likely to get spooked because he spends less time pretending he’s not spooked. “don’t try it, demons,” he says, pulling out the holy water gun. 

Sizhui is the only one actually chill about the whole thing. Listen, he grew up in the Burial Mounds, it doesn’t get anymore haunted than that. “we’re here for the cult stuff”. He thinks this is a great way of spreading information to the general population on how to deal with this stuff.

Wen Ning is the Adult Supervision and also the camera man

Yanli and Jin Zixuan always comment under the videos things like "love the video A-Ling!!" "So proud!!"

They're definitely old souls who don't know how to use the internet. Jin Zixuan does that weird old person punctuation with lots of periods. The only time they can ever be found online is when they comment under the videos. 

The juniors get permission to investigate the unclean realm because Nie Huaisang is a huge fan. It's the highest production quality video. Nie Huaisang funds it

Sometimes Wei Wuxian guest stars to give "expert advice"

Lan Zhan was in one episode, but only because Wei Ying forgot his flute and Lan Zhan was bringing it to him

No one in the video acknowledges the fact that the Chief Cultivator is there. Someone in the comments section: That's Hanguang-Jun in the background 

Jin Ling: This ain't about him

The comments are just "Hanguang-Jun!" " is that Hanguang-Jun?" "omg that totally is Hanguang-Jun" and the Lan juniors are like "we should see if Hanguang-Jun would be a video. everyone seems to love him" and Jin Ling's like "no because that will take the focus off of the point of the video. it's supposed to be about us" and the juniors are like yeah you're right. Jingyi definitely isn't salty they agreed with Jin Ling, what are you talking about?

Lan Zhan still keeps appearing in the background in like blurry shots because Wei Ying keeps forgetting his flute or his talisman or Sizhui needs something from home or Jingyi forgot to bring batteries for the camera, etc. And they still refuse to officially acknowledge it. So, he becomes kind of a cryptid in the videos

Viewers make compilations of all the blurry screencaps of Lan Zhan in the background. They're obsessed. It's become a whole thing in the cultivation: unsolved fandom

Meanwhile, Jiang Cheng, who once had to drive the juniors to a distant sect and had vowed never to be a part of this again, barges in the filming to bring Jin Ling his little bell because "knowing you, you'll go and do empathy even though i told you not to, but when do you ever listen to me. it's too risky for you to be doing Jin Ling, and if i see a video fo you doing it again, i'll break your legs. so take the bell, but i better not see you using it"

Fans go apeshit.

They're like "omfg jiang wanyin!!" "omg he's a legend" "he's so hot" etc.

There ends up being a whole Lan Zhan vs Jiang Cheng discourse in the fandom. The juniors are like how did it even come to this? Hanguang-Jun and jiang wanyin don't have anything to do with the show??

The comments blow up, and it goes viral. Jin Ling gets into fights on Twitter because that's his uncle!!!! stop saying stuff about his uncle!!!! Its gross!!!!! And no, the bell is a very serious cultivation instrument!!!!!

Jingyi makes buttons with "team Jiang Cheng" and "team Lan Wangji" as merch.

Lan Zhan and Jiang Cheng get into the discourse in the sense that while they think it's stupid, it's also something they can be petty about.

Meanwhile, Wei Wuxian is trying to get the fans to obsess over him. It's not working

The juniors are just trying to get their channel back to normal, but what even is normal? They can't remember a time before the Lan Wangji vs Jiang Cheng war. It feels like it's been years. It's been two days

No one believes Wei Wuxian is Wei Wuxian. Everyone thinks he's doing cosplay. “Ofc that's not the yiling patriarch that's crazy.” “The ribbon isn't even in the right color, jesus.”

They're like "they think just because they got Hanguang-Jun on the show that we're going to believe that's Wei Wuxian? nice try. we all know he's your guys's uncle so obviously he's going to pretend this guy is Wei Wuxian if you tell him to"

Meanwhile, Wei Wuxian is doing all his Yiling Patriarch tricks on the show, trying to get people to believe him. Finally they do believe he's the real Wei Wuxian, but only after he's in an episode with Fairy and nearly faints

The comments are like "yep. that's definitely Wei Wuxian" "no one could fake utter terror that convincingly" "he definitely peed his pants. that's Wei Wuxian"

Wei Wuxian laments to Lan Wangji that his fear of dogs, his fear of dogs, is the reason people believe it's actually him now? how embarrassing

But now Wei Wuxian is a sensation in the fandom. Gifs and photos of him being scared of the dog are now widespread. 

Jingyi and Jin Ling make merch of it together. It's the first time they've been civil since the whole Hanguang-Jun thing started. Zizhen makes one of those remixes of Wei Wuxian screaming in fright. Sizhui (reluctantly) accompanies it on his guqin

It spreads beyond the fandom. He's now more famous than Lan Wangji vs Jiang Cheng. But at what cost?

Buzzfeed makes a compilation of "20 times the Yiling Patriarch nearly fainted." Jiang Cheng sends him links to every article about it sometimes 

Jingyi will just smirk at him and Wei Wuxian knows he's thinking of the memes

A merch mug appears in the Jingshi but neither Lan Wangji nor Lan Sizhui admit to shit

Lan Qiren has no idea what's happening, but he gets one mug too. Just because it makes Wei Wuxian go apoplectic. 

Lan Qiren smiles at Jingyi once in passing

He also plays the remix in the background on an almost silent volume. Wei Wuxian can't tell where it's coming from. It's driving him crazy. Lan Qiren thinks this might be what finally makes Wei Wuxian leave Cloud Recesses. 

Lan Qiren makes Zizhen an honorary lan disciple. No one knows why. It's because of the remix

Jin ling isn't jealous about that, of course not

One time, Jin Ling visits Cloud Recesses with Fairy. Wei Wuxian is suddenly nowhere to be found. Lan Qiren makes Jin Ling and honorary Lan disciple and tells him to visit whenever he wants

Jiang Cheng hears about it and immediately adopts all of them as Jiang disciples and Wei Wuxian just to one up Cloud Recesses

After all this shit goes down, if people hadn't heard of Cultivation: Untamed before, they sure have now.

[mejomonster]

Ice Fantasy

me too girl.

also it is the funniest thing to me the second she sees him on the riverside her voice is gentler and more conversational. then later when she tells him well be my slave until you remember, she’s still more gentle and conversational. its just like a little thread indicating she probably wants to be a relatively friendly flirty warm person but when she’s working (like when she thinks she’s handling Ice Kingdom, or Fire Kingdom fellow soldiers) she puts on a much tougher/crueler act (either because they’re an enemy or she feels she needs to be seen that way to be respected/for people to believe she can handle things). her voice just gets... so much softer and lighter and she starts smiling like ah yes This warmth is how she’d like to talk to neutral strangers IF she ever got the chance so now she’s doing it with hottie mcstranger she found lying in the river ToT

i really like their dynamic. i mean i’m already biased towards women in charge, servant boy following her, AND secret identities, so i’m kind of a sucker anyway. but their characters also just work really well off each other - he knows she’s suddenly less hostile and so he’s acting a lot more manipulative about ‘oh i could say anything right now’ which i imagine is going to help evolve his character into what looks to be a schemer later in the series. its also giving him a chance to learn to stop acting so straightforward/get yourself killed like he was before, and practice some cleverness like his older brother likes to (although in a different way). also since she is relatively warm, he’s teasing her ToT. which to be honest with a woman like her who needs to be tough all the time its probably nice to have someone look at you and say their mom is prettier, you’re being silly, and not have to worry you having been ridiculous/playing is going to get you killed. I can already see how their dynamic together would eventually lead to them becoming best friends.

Speaking of new friends:

Their dynamic is EXTREMELY Shen Wei/Kunlun (Zhao Yunlan). Li Luo reminds me of Guardian drama Kunlun’s potential SO much. She’s got 2 guns that can hurt gods, is the most skilled Guardian Envoy, she’s taking care of this silent duty bound prince who has a responsibility to his country and world but is TORN UP worried for his little brother. And she looks out for him even though he thinks her way of doing it doesn’t follow the rules. Her energy is AMAZING and I already love Li Luo with my whole heart. 

(On a separate note I am again disappointed with Eternal Love’s overall handling of women and women warriors, this show managed to show both very feminine maternal mothers who mainly specialize in domestic affairs AND a wife who kills to try and save her loved ones and Li Luo the leader of the Guardian Envoys AND Yan Da above the most Interesting character of the Fire Kingdom and a key Princess Warrior, and Ying Kong Shi’s mom Lotus who’s clearly got a lot of shit going on in her life that’s hidden under secrets and royal pressures, the Mermaid Princess and Mermaid Saint who had political influence on the story outcome Already... just like I am only on episode 6 and already I’ve seen more women in battles than I did in all of Eternal Love, more women get to rescue men or fight for them/against them, get to be the protector, in Yan Da’s case get to be the dominant playful flirt, their actions and words clearly carry weight in this show and if you’re GOING to have a cast with lots of women and men then yeah I expect this level of range and good writing for the women too. Love and Redemption does a decent job at accomplishing this too (one reason its my favorite romance xianxia), Eternal Love absolutely did not (Bai Qian gets the most fighting scenes but even then at the finale she’s put out of commission and doesn’t get to fight the Final Bad Guy herself, Fengjiu arguably gets the most equal relationship with her love as far as making choices but as a fighter she’s just not that kind of strong trained character the way Bai Qian is, and the Demon Princess is wonderful but again she’s stuck kind of in this domestic-nurturing category and for the most part no one gets to branch out much except the villains - still in domestic spheres/regarding their love pursuits though - and Bai Qian (and when she branches out, just as often the writing made her a damsel which at the finale of the story was ultimately my breaking point ;-; ). 

Li Luo is phenomenal, serious, friendly, playful, competent, a protector, and she reminds me SO much of Zhao Yunlan when he’s at his most leader-esque or when protecting Shen Wei physically and emotionally by getting him to feel safe and understood and part of the world. I find it impossible to do anything but love her (and I love that so far this show’s given me two leading women I absolutely LOVE both the character setups for and the actual acting/execution of these characters - last time a show gave me leading women that specifically hit the kinds of things I prefer this much was Secret Of The Three Kingdoms with an Empress scheming orchestrator of the country and a widow-princess who’s become a cold assassin). 

And Ka Suo? Reminds me SO much of Shen Wei. The way he has a duty to his brother, country, world - but unlike Shen Wei he’s ALREADY seen how hard the duty was on his father, how much it destroys one’s humanity and personal values, and Ka Suo just wants to fly away like a bird and have his own life (much like I think Shen Wei desperately feels trapped in his duties as the Envoy and all the responsibility he has to the world over even his brother or his own values later on). Ka Suo is the heir, and unlike Shen Wei he is trying so hard to keep balance and at LEAST keep his little brother even if Ka Suo doesn’t have control over the duties he must also handle because the whole Ice Kingdom needs him. I love that he’s playful and curious and likes to learn (very Shen Wei) as seen by how he used to talk to Li Luo and his brother, I love that he’s overwhelmed by worry now and duty and trying his best to be perfect at all things somehow (again VERY Shen Wei). Ka Suo is sort of a mix in vibes of young Shen Wei and 10k years later - Ka Suo still has some hope, is clinging to the idea of getting to stay with his brother alive, does seem to get emotional support and relief from someone (Li Luo) treating him like another ordinary equal, is a fish out of water immortal in a mortal world (Shen Wei my mutant love dealing with Humanity), but is also so bound up in duty and responsibility AND all the death that’s already occured he is definitely holding himself together tightly with everything he’s got right now (very 10k years into present Shen Wei). 

Ka Suo and Ying Kong Shi remind me of like. Shen Wei and Ye Zun if they’d never been separated young. Also, there’s parent dynamics at play creating inequality in a way (whereas in Guardian the inequality was Shen Wei being propped up as a war hero/leader and Ye Zun being villainized as an enemy and slave). Like Ye Zun, Ying Kong Shi has ‘no powers’ and when they eventually come out its due to how much he cares about his brother, and its uncontrollable and dangerous and kills. Like Ye Zun, Ying Kong Shi has the suckier power dynamic - he’s the smallest youngest prince with no political future, no powers so regular civilian kids bully him, his mother is the concubine and not the queen like all his other siblings, his mother clearly doesn’t love the king (there’s some not-great something going on there) and is treated slightly less well than the Queen (which extends to her son), the only person with POWER that really favors Ying Kong Shi is his older brother Ka Suo who considers him his dearest brother and a best friend. Its no wonder Ying Kong Shi idealistically promises his brother “I’ll help you not be king and become free like the birds.” Its not surprising when Ying Kong Shi kills the Fire Prince, he wants to be punished or die instead of the older brother he loves who he KNOWS would do anything to protect him. Its not surprising saving his brother is what triggers his powers and causes his first kill. Unlike Ye Zun though, Ying Kong Shi’s close long term upbringing with his brother means he WANTS to believe in goodness in people and in heroism (whereas Ye Zun after being separated thinks all people will do is harm you and others so no cause/person is worth protecting - except maybe your brother you love and miss, or getting revenge on him if you can no longer have his love). 

So when everything hits the fan, Ying Kong Shi’s dad tries to give him to the enemy to BE KILLED as a trade!! Which is horrific! And despite even THAT totally fucked up situation, afterwards Ying Kong Shi offers to die to get a sword to save everyone - because he believes in being noble like his brother, and his dad JUST reinforced how worthless Ying Kong Shi is seen as, Ying Kong Shi JUST killed someone as a child and is clearly coping with guilt badly by thinking he deserves to die too. And so that is an action I don’t think Ye Zun would’ve made, but since Ying Kong Shi has his brother’s influence he’s got more idealism that I’m assuming the story will break down to make him get a more realistic understanding of the world over time. As it stands this kid is SO good, so kind, his brother raised him to be Such a good wonderful person. And this kid does not deserve how fucked up his own father and country treats him, and it really is him and Ka Suo against the world on a personal level.

Unrelated note but I find it extremely odd this show often has Ying Kong Shi just called “Shi” by people. I’m not sure if they’re saying “A-Shi” each time but I don’t think I’m hearing an Ah before the name. I thought it was usually 2 syllables said when saying someone’s name (like how Zhao Yunlan is at least called A-Lan or Yunlan and never just Lan, like how Wei Wuxian is called A-Xian by his sister but never just Xian). But like... everyone just keeps saying Shi to this boy. I’m not sure if like I said, I’m just not hearing the Ah before the name, or if this show/writing purposely calls him Just Shi.

chengqing modern “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” au: 

Get a cover they said. It’ll be fun they said. You don’t actually have to love the person they said. Boy meets girl. Boy finds girl pretty. Girl finds boy tolerable. Boy and girl are both professional contract killers in need of covers. Boy and girl get married. Problem? They work for competing firms.....and nobody bothered to do a background check.

At counselling: 

JC: k, I’ll go first. Lemme say eh...we don’t really need to be here. So we’ve been married 5 years.

WQ: Six. 

JC: .....right. Five or six years. And this is like a check up for us. A chance to poke around the engine, maybe change the oil, replace a seal or two.

Counsellor LXC: ...very well then. Let’s pop the hood. 

On the scale of 1 to 10 how happy are you as a couple? 

WQ *resolute*: 8. 

JC: wait, 10 being perfectly happy? And 1 being totally miserable or??? 

LXC: just respond instinctively. 

JC: okay..... 

JC&WQ: 8. 

How often do you have sex? 

WQ: I don’t understand the question. 

JC: Yeah I’m lost, is this a one to ten thing? 

WQ: Because is 1 very little or is 1 nothing? Because technically, technically speak....0 would be nothing. 

LXC: ....how about this week?  

JC&WQ: ..........................................................

In which Jiang Cheng works for Lotus Pier and Wen Qing works for Nevernight. Jiang Cheng is a “big time contractor” and Wen Qing runs a “IT server company” downtown. They live in a 3000 sqr feet house in the rich suburbs and their neighbors are all ordinary (annoying) families with 2.5 kids and a picket fence. Everything is “fine” in their lackluster sham of a marriage until they’re sent to kill a common target. And then shit hits the fan. 

JC trips and fires a bullet through WQ’s windshield. *oh shit*: “Honey, accident. It was an accident -” WQ: *pissed, floors it*  JC :“Wen Qing stop the car!!”  WQ: *hits him with the car* 

///////////////// JC *shows up at WWX’s house, roughed up after being hit by WQ’s car*  WWX (JC’s good bro also contract killer): jfc, what the hell happened to you?! JC: ...............my wife. 

/////////////////

Miamian: Wait......... your husband is the shooter? That’s impossible!  WQ: *deadpans* really? 

WWX is the chillest guy in JC’s department, but he’s deadly. He’s verrrry picky with his assignments but because he’s literally Death reincarnate with a man-bun, their boss Yu Ziyuan (no one’s mom in this au) just about tolerates him. Everyone also knows WWX’s cover husband is his real husband, and if anyone so much as think about hurting a hair on LWJ’s precious music-prodigy head, WWX will pull their intestines out from their esophagus and use it to make the strings on LWJ’s guqin. LWJ was a child music prodigy but decided to go into classics academia (think Kevin from B99) and teaches at a university. He knows WWX is not in fact “a bartender”, but doesn’t press too much about WWX’s real job. 

JC is hiding out with WWX bc WQ is out to get his ass (they're charged with taking each other out in 48 hours), and WWX is pacing around with a shotgun. LWJ calls from upstairs, "Wei Ying- ” WWX startles and cocks his gun, "LAN-ER-GEGE, I LOVE YOU BUT WE'RE ON HIGH ALERT HERE. I ALMOST KILLED YOU RIGHT THERE YOU DO NOT EVEN KNOW!!"  LWJ: ............nevermind. 

WQ’s department is filled with badass ladies, JGY, and NHS. You have Qin Su the hacker. You have MianMian the sniper. Have you Sisi their admin clerk who keeps shit under control. 

WQ talking through security feed, about to blow up the elevator JC is in: "Five, four, any last words?" JC, crossing his arm, "The new curtains you got were ugly." WQ >_> "Goodbye Jiang Cheng." JGY *presses detonate* The elevator explodes. WQ: 😨😱 “What the hell was that!???”  JGY: ..........what? You said goodbye. 

But....then when they finally get together for real: 

WQ: "A-Cheng, my parents, they died when I was 8, I'm an orphan." JC: "Then who was that guy that gave you away at our wedding??" WQ: "Paid actor." JC: "I said!!! I said I saw your dad as an extra on Nirvana in Fire!"  WQ: "I know....."

JC: "I can't believe I brought my real sister to the wedding."

////*five minutes later*/////

JC: "Hey, so, I gotta tell you, I was married once before." WQ: ....... WQ: "What's her name and social security number?" JC: "No, you're not gonna kill her."

Hey, it’s me again! Can I request a another popstar reader who is gender neutral that has a problem with a obsessed fan and their worried for their safety so they ask their s/o to accompany them when their guard is off duty. Can this be for Wei Ying and Jiang Cheng. Also can the obsessed fan attempt to attack the reader but then the boys come save the reader?

Haha! Hi again! Sure! I’m multi-tasking right now and watching TPN ( The Promised Neverland ) and writting! Currently in episode 10 in season 2 and hooked up on the plot haha! I figured I wouldn’t let a fan attack the reader so instead I’m sorry but they will attack the boys.. Don’t come at me here but just who in the world would hit their idol? Anyways.. Here’s to your long overdue request!

☆*: .｡. .｡.:*☆ I Will Protect You ☆*: .｡. .｡.:*☆

☆*: .｡. .｡.:*☆ Wei Wuxian ☆*: .｡. .｡.:*☆

He was just an ordinary fan of you until your personal guard was sick, you asked him if he could act as your guard since there was a fan that was making you uncomfortable.. “Don’t worry! I will protect you!” He says to reasure you that you are safe. After your performance and fanmeets you saw the fan.. “Y/N!!” He says running to hug you “Stop.” Wei Wuxian glares at the person and tells him that you are uncomfortable with how he hugs you and the way he acts makes you uncomfortable.. He of course, didn’t listen and lied that you are close childhood friends. “Thats not true Wei Wuxian! He’s lying!” He trusted you enough and knew you wouldn’t lie about this. “You are lying, kindly leave and never bother Y/N again.” He was holding back until the guy punched himin the face, thankfully it was a weak punch so it didn’t really hurt ( Oh my, Oh my, this man is weak as hecc ) so Wei Wuxian of course did not hesitate to return the punch ( Go Go Go Wei Wuxian! ) they ended up getting hurt badly but then you called for more backup and seperated the two. “Wei Wuxian! You know I hate it when you get rough! I said to guard me, not to literally beat him up!” He doesn’t pay attention to your lecture as the guy walked away and he sends him one last long icey glare telling him to Get away from Y/N, stay away from Y/N, Y/N doesn’t like someone clinging to them like a koala. During the intense stare the guy took this as a warning and left. “Don’t do that again..” You tell him and treat his wounds “What can I say? Anything for you Y/N.” You blush at him and you both laugh.

☆*: .｡. .｡.:*☆ Jiang Cheng ☆*: .｡. .｡.:*☆

He has experience for guarding Yanli anyways and you were very close to him. He couldn’t say no even if he wanted to anyways ( He thinks of it as an excuse to hang out with you after the event )

He got into a fight with the fan and proceeded to curse at the person while you held him back as he tries to kick the persons behind... ( Good Luck ) “Come here you little son of a gun!” He yelled and infact.. The person was a momma’s boy/girl and he finally got out of your grasp and hit the person “Why you!” The person shouted at him and you told him to stop and he finally did after the 5th call.. You grab his wrist and pulled him to your car and scolded him to never do that again when guards you. “Your so overprotective..” You mumble and he heard it “I’m protective if the person is important to me.” He replies and you blush curling yourself in a ball of embarrassment afterwards while he smirks even after he says that.

( shorter than usual but I will make the others longer! Keep sending in requests! I love it when people request for me to write their ideas! )

prom night

16: Why haven’t you kissed me yet? From this prompt list…

Wei Ying is sitting in the beanbag chair when he mentions it, hunched over forward as he plays Mario Kart solo. Lan Zhan is reading, and trying to keep himself from stealing glances at Wei Ying. It's not easy. Wei Ying's legs are miles long, extended on the carpet. He's got his video game face on -- intense, focused, just barely biting his lower lip.

Lan Zhan has just forced himself to look back down at his book when, in a sweeping motion, Wei Ying throws down his video game controller. His eyes dart Lan Zhan's way. "Hey, want to skip prom with me?"

Lan Zhan blinks. He closes the book and sets it aside. "You're not going to prom?" he asks, trying to tamp down on the throbbing of his heart. He was sure Wei Ying would have two or three dates to prom by now. It was that certainty that kept him from asking Wei Ying himself -- that certainty, and maybe a lack of courage.

Wei Ying blows air through his lips. "Pffft. Who wants to go to prom? All that dolling up." His expression changes, and he flips onto his stomach on the big beanbag chair, legs kicking up in the air. "Why, have you got a hot date for prom already? Who is she? Do I know her? When'd you ask?"

Lan Zhan is actively trying not to stare at Wei Ying's legs. "No."

"No, I don't know her? Or..."

Lan Zhan sighs. "I do not have a date for prom."

Wei Ying claps his hands. "Sweet! Then hang out with me that night. I'll show you a good time."

It feels like a flirt, but Lan Zhan doesn't dare hope it really is. Sometimes Wei Ying's just like this. It's maddening, and he's maddening, but Lan Zhan can't get enough of him. Ever since he walked into history class freshman year with a jumbo-sized cup of Coke and a carefree smile, Lan Zhan's been gone.

Of course he will skip prom with him.

So on the night where giggling girls wear corsages and flirt near the punch bowl somewhere across town, Lan Zhan comes over. For a while it's like every other time they hang out: They go upstairs to the attic den and sit by the big TV shoulder to shoulder. They play Mario Kart without talking and, in Wei Ying's case, without blinking (Lan Zhan's pretty sure). But at about 10 PM, Wei Ying abruptly jumps up and switches off the TV.

"Uncle Jiang has to be asleep by now," he says. "Sweet. Time to go."

"To go?" Lan Zhan's vision is still swimming with red and blue shells.

Wei Ying grins and winks at him. "You didn't think we were going to stay around here all night?"

Which is how Lan Zhan ends up sneaking down the steps and out to the driveway and "borrowing" Jiang Cheng's bicycle. He's not sure how he feels about the ethics of all this, but he'd follow Wei Ying anywhere, any way he can. So they make a beeline through the night and end up in front of the Yunmeng Secondary School building. Wei Ying leads Lan Zhan around the side of the building and tucks their bikes in the shadow of a tree.

"What are we doing at school?" Lan Zhan asks.

"Whatever we want. Come on." Wei Ying heads toward the building.

"You're going to break into school?"

"No." Wei Ying makes a face at him, half-lit by a lamppost ten meters away. "It's not breaking in if I don't go into the building."

"Then what are..."

Wei Ying hefts his backpack on his shoulders and points toward the fire escape. Lan Zhan follows that pointer finger all the way up. "The roof?"

"Well," Wei Ying says too loudly, "I'm going up. You can stay here." He makes another face and trots toward the fire escape, leaping onto the first step with a ridiculous amount of grace for a teenager carting a heavy backpack.

You can stay here, he says, but Wei Ying must know that's impossible. Lan Zhan clenches a fist. "I'm coming," he says.

They scurry up the stairs and across the landings like mice in a maze, and Wei Ying swings himself over the concrete barrier and onto the roof. Lan Zhan follows, cautiously. The roof is plain, ugly even, just concrete and an HVAC unit that gurgles dangerously in the darkness. But the view is all right -- sprawls of suburban houses, vague orange glow above the treetops, bright full moon above. Lan Zhan gets a little lost looking around at it all. Then his eyes fall on Wei Ying and he's even more lost.

Wei Ying's wide-eyed, walking in a circle with his arms outspread. The moonlight and the muddled light from streetlamps join to illuminate him, the sharp curve of his nose and those smiling lips. Lan Zhan has, yet again, the urge to hold him still and kiss him. Wei Ying is always on the move, and all Lan Zhan wants to keep him in one place long enough to make his feelings known. But  that would be so unfair to Wei Ying, who is so beautiful when he's in motion. So all Lan Zhan can do is follow.

After a few excited laps around the roof's perimeter, Wei Ying settles next to him and swings his backpack down from his shoulders. When he unzips it, Lan Zhan can see the plaid peek of a picnic basket and a couple of cans of beer.

Wei Ying takes one can and offers the other to Lan Zhan. Lan Zhan shakes his head. Wei Ying shrugs, then pops his can open and drags out the blanket.

Several minutes later, as they lounge quietly on the blanket with the wide sky above them, Wei Ying mumbles, "Lan Zhan."

"Hm?"

"What are you gonna miss about high school?"

There's color in Wei Ying's cheeks, and Lan Zhan can feel his ears go hot in response. He turns over the question in his mind. There's not much about high school that he won't have in college, and he's looking forward to that more than he's worried about missing high school. He turns the question on Wei Ying. "What will you miss?"

"Oh, man, so much." Wei Ying lies on his back and lifts his arms, pretending to draw a bow and aim it at the moon overhead.  He lets go of the imaginary arrow and snickers. "Those stupid pep rallies we had to go to. Huaisang's locker full of dubious items. Failing math quizzes."

"You've never failed a math quiz in your life," Lan Zhan points out.

"I've tried," Wei Ying says with a laugh. "I'm gonna miss the pool."

"There will be pools at college," Lan Zhan says. "Better ones."

"Yeah, but will they have the charm of our dumb little kiddie pool? Will they have locker rooms that smell like beef for no good reason? Huh, Lan Zhan? Will they have that?" He points his finger at Lan Zhan and closes one eye as though aiming a gun.

Lan Zhan plays along, putting a hand on his chest and looking down as though he's been shot. Wei Ying cackles.

They spend hours up there, talking of this and that. Mr. Wen's hair, whether Jiang Cheng really could shove Wei Ying in a locker like he always threatens to, what they'll major in when they get to university, everything. Wei Ying slings over casual questions and Lan Zhan answers them, calm, looking up at the few visible stars. He'll miss this, he thinks. Even though Wei Ying is going to the same university, it's a big campus, and it won't be like it is now, with Wei Ying a few doors down or a classroom away. And there will be so many new people, and Wei Ying will find a whole other group of friends. Lan Zhan will inevitably be left behind. He wishes he had the courage to tell Wei Ying how he felt. He wishes he had any confidence that Wei Ying feels the same.

So he'll hold on to this night, the two of them alone beneath the canopy of sky, the smell of beer and the sting of insects. He'll hold on to the look on Wei Ying's face now, happy and flushed from alcohol, and the way his hair spills out of his ponytail onto the blanket like a waterfall. He'll hold on, and he'll want, and then when he has to, he'll try to let go.

Lan Zhan doesn't remember when they fall asleep, but when he wakes, the beginnings of dawn are painting the eastern sky pale blue. Wei Ying is curled up, head on Lan Zhan's stomach, and Lan Zhan reaches down to touch his hair, pet him gently. "Wei Ying," he urges.

Wei Ying sits up, blinks, and gives a big yawn as he stretches out his arms. "We slept?" he complains. "I wanted to stay up all night."

"You had to sleep off the beer," Lan Zhan says, kneeling and then standing up. The heat that had been Wei Ying's body is dissipating too fast, and the morning air is chilly against his bare arms. He crosses them over his chest, trying to hold in some warmth.

"I was never drunk," lies Wei Ying. He wipes his mouth with the back of his hand and unfolds from a crouch to stand with Lan Zhan.

"You'll be unstoppable in college," Lan Zhan says with some consternation.

"You'll be there to keep me under control," Wei Ying replies. Strangely enough, it's the first time he's talked about the two of them still hanging out when they go to school. Lan Zhan's heart twinges with a painful bit of hope.

Wei Ying saunters to the edge of the roof and leans on the barrier. "Well, Lan Zhan, how'd you like prom night?" he asks, offering a winning smile.

Lan Zhan just nods. Wei Ying smiles wider.

"How about a dip before we go home?" he says.

Minutes later, they've shinnied over the fence like a pair of climbing monkeys, and Lan Zhan is standing awkwardly next to the school's outdoor pool. Leaves have fallen in from the tree that arches over the pool area, big maple hands with spread fingers. Wei Ying is stripping somewhere near him. Lan Zhan has the good sense not to look. Instead, he turns his eyes to the western sky, still dark with night. The last remaining star winks at him.

And then he has Wei Ying's arms around his waist. "Take off your clothes," he drawls, trying to ruck up Lan Zhan's sweater from the hem. Lan Zhan shakes out of his grip, but not before Wei Ying has laid a warm hand on his bare side. Heat courses through Lan Zhan even after they've parted, and he fixes Wei Ying with an angry gaze.

"Fine, if you want to wear clothes into the pool, see if I care!" And Wei Ying drops his pants in a rush of motion and cannonballs into the water in just his boxers. Water splashes onto Lan Zhan's slacks, and he looks down in dismay. As he does, Wei Ying sends up another fountain of water, and this time it soaks him up to his sweater. Dismayed, Lan Zhan grumbles and starts to strip.

Wei Ying does the backstroke at a remarkable pace as Lan Zhan eases down the ladder into the pool. The water is cold, not icy but chillier than the mild air around them. Lan Zhan swims a lap or two, then relaxes against the side of the pool and watches Wei Ying horse around. He gets splashed several times. It's fine. He doesn't care. Wei Ying's attention is on him, so he'll take whatever shit he's given.

Wei Ying grabs his hands, pulls him underwater. Lan Zhan opens his eyes and blinks away the sting of chlorine. Wei Ying is a big fish, his whole body one sinuous movement. Lan Zhan could grab his elbow, pull him close. Kiss him under the water like some sort of fantasy. He could. He's strong enough.

But he runs out of air too soon, and comes up sputtering to the surface. Wei Ying surfaces next to him and laughs uproariously.

When he's had his fill of the pool, Wei Ying hoists himself up and out, then pulls two big towels out of his backpack. Lan Zhan marvels that they were able to fit. Wei Ying has thought this through, going so far as to bring spare boxers for the pair of them, and Lan Zhan is impressed. If only this was a date he'd planned out so thoughtfully. Lan Zhan's stomach sinks as he reminds himself that no, it's not.

Wrapped in towels, the two of them lean against the chain link fence and watch the sun come up. The orange-yellow light makes Wei Ying squint and shield his eyes. Lan Zhan can't not look - with the rays of the sun streaming onto him, he's all lit up, his face illuminated planes and long shadows. He's breathtaking, and Lan Zhan indeed forgets to breathe, gulping in a lungful of air like he's just come to the surface after minutes underwater. He forces himself to exhale slowly, normally. Why is Wei Ying so beautiful? It isn't fair.

"We should probably head home soon," he forces himself to stay. "Your uncle will wake up."

Wei Ying affects a labored sigh. "I guess," he says. "I'll be in trouble anyway, but you should probably head home and rest."

"Mn." Lan Zhan turns and walks toward the corner where his clothes are piled up. Or, he starts to walk. He doesn't get much further than an inch. Wei Ying has him by the arm, both hands stopping him.

"Wait," he says. "I have an important question for you."

Lan Zhan can do nothing but give him his full attention. He turns to face him.

Wei Ying flushes. The color in his cheeks rises so suddenly that Lan Zhan worries he's gone feverish from the early-morning swim. His hands are still wrapped around Lan Zhan's bicep, strength and warmth against his skin. "It's a very important question," he says, and there's some tension in his smile.

"Go ahead." Lan Zhan ignores the strange lurching feeling in his chest. The sense that something is happening. "What is it?"

"It's like this." Wei Ying beams at him, hands tight where they tug at Lan Zhan's arm. "Why haven't you kissed me yet?"

Everything stops. Time stops. Breathing stops. Lan Zhan forces out a "What?"

"I mean, I set everything up." Wei Ying says, a whine in his voice. "We spent the whole night together, and now we're watching the sun rise and it's prom night and I'm shirtless. What else is it gonna take?"

Lan Zhan's thoughts have gone so still, he has to kick them back into gear. "For me to kiss you?" He hears the words come out of his mouth and can't believe it. He can't believe this moment is happening.

"Yeah," Wei Ying says. "I thought you would have done it months ago. Unless I'm misreading everything." His hands loosen their grip, then let go, trailing down his arm and away.

There's dismay in his gaze all of a sudden. Lan Zhan can't bear to see it. He lifts a hand to Wei Ying's face, touches where he's dreamed of touching for four years. "Wei Ying ... really wants me to kiss him?"

Wei Ying laughs. "I've made that pretty obvious by now, right? Lan Zhan, don't tell me--"

Lan Zhan muffles any further words with his lips.

Wei Ying is sweet under him, so sweet. Sweet and yielding, and when Lan Zhan licks the seam of his mouth he opens to him, the kiss deepening but still soft, still gentle, still careful. Lan Zhan is aware that his hands are trembling.

They break apart and look at each other in the rising sunlight. Wei Ying's cheeks are rosy, and his lips are wet and shining, slightly parted.

Lan Zhan kisses him again, and this time, he's not careful.

He pushes Wei Ying against the chain link fence, feeling it sway under their combined weight, and drinks from his lips again and again. Wei Ying's arms wind around his neck. A groan breaks free from Lan Zhan's mouth. Wei Ying answers it. Beneath the slanted sun's rays, they kiss and kiss, Lan Zhan sighing, Wei Ying moaning and pushing his body against Lan Zhan's wantonly. Heat fills Lan Zhan's body all the way down to his toes. He licks into Wei Ying's mouth in desperate, powerful sweeps of tongue. The broken noises Wei Ying keeps making are driving him crazy.

He only stops kissing him when he can't kiss anymore. When they're both too out of breath and flushed to continue. They breathe raggedly, as though they've just run a marathon. Wei Ying's hands cling to his back, his head bobbing against Lan Zhan's shoulder.

"Wei Ying," Lan Zhan begins, not knowing where he will go from there.

Wei Ying cuts him off with a delirious sigh. "Finally," he murmurs against Lan Zhan's ear. "Finally, finally, Lan Zhan, I've been waiting so long."

"Why didn't you say something?" Lan Zhan asks, truly confused. They could have been doing this years ago.

"You know." Wei Ying's voice drawls, smooth and sweet as honey. "You were Lan Zhan, you didn't worry about things like that. I was just nursing the same crush that every girl in school had on you. Was I so special that I could have what all of them couldn't?"

Lan Zhan holds him close. His heart is thudding with happiness and his mind is singing. "Wei Ying is very special."

"Does that mean we're boyfriends now?" Wei Ying asks, still a shudder of uncertainty in his voice.

It's the silliest question he's ever asked. "Mn."

"And when we head off to college--" Wei Ying wriggles in his arms happily. "I can't wait to tell everyone I'm spoken for."

"Wei Ying. We should go home."

Wei Ying throws himself forward, squeezing Lan Zhan around the waist.

Lan Zhan sighs and tips his chin forward, his lips catching Wei Ying's cheek. Wei Ying makes a happy noise. "Five minutes," he whines. "Give me five more minutes and then we'll go."

A jogger passes on the distant sidewalk. The neighborhood is waking up, and they're still half-naked and damp. Lan Zhan really should urge him to go now, lest they be caught. Instead, he holds Wei Ying close and kisses his hairline. He's waited four years. He can certainly spare five minutes.

They go back to Wei Ying's place, and get in trouble, and pester Jiang Cheng about the prom. He has brought back with him loads of gossip, which he shares over the breakfast table. Wei Ying hooks his foot around Lan Zhan's ankle under the table. It feels like fireworks. Lan Zhan fixes him with an incredulous stare, and Wei Ying just grins.

Wei Ying walks him to his house; they kiss, hot and messy, outside the front door before Lan Zhan walks in to inevitable scolding. It's worth it. He couldn't have imagined a better prom night.

[besanii]

oh god i just saw the angsty shippy prompts you just reblogged and now i have to brace myself for angst for DAYS ㅠㅠ and because your writing always makes me feel All The Emotions i just know i'm going to feel like i've been punched in the solar plexus each time i see (and read, and re-read) an update and its reblogs... anyway i feel like this would be a fun one "i can't always help when you're in trouble" whichever ship you choose! ^^

He wakes to a dull, rhythmic throbbing in his head. There’s an itch on his nose that is growing more and more irritating by the second, but his body feels like it’s being crushed by a dead weight and his arm won’t move. The most he achieves is a tiny twitch of his right hand; it brushes up against something warm, and then he hears a sharp intake of breath close to his ear.

“Wei-xiansheng,” a familiar voice says. “Wei-xiangsheng, are you awake?”

He groans.

“My nose itches,” he croaks. His lips are dry and his mouth feels like sandpaper. “And my throat hurts.”

“That would be the anaesthetic wearing off,” another voice says. “If you’re not feeling nauseous, we can probably get you something to wet your mouth.”

‘Thanks’ is what he tries to say, but it comes out more like a garbled ‘auuaagh’. Nevertheless, a cool, wet cloth is pressed to his lips and he sighs gratefully at the soothing sensation. He opens his eyes slowly once it’s taken away, wincing at the way his eyes seem to have been caked shut; the first thing he sees is a very handsome, albeit very concerned pair of pretty honey-coloured eyes watching him.

“Hey,” he rasps. “Hey, gorgeous.”

A tiny frown appears in between those perfectly shaped brows.

“Wei-xiansheng,” Gorgeous says. He frowns.

“Don’t call me that,” he complains. “You should call me by my name.”

Gorgeous sighs. Put-Upon is a very nice expression on him.

“Wei-xiansheng,” he says again. “How are you feeling?”

“Mm,” he says coherently. “Better now that you’re here.” A deeper frown, and a pressure around his hand. “Ooh, you’re holding my hand. That’s nice. I like that.” He pouts when the hand is quickly retracted, but is rewarded by the adorable sight of reddened ears instead, so he lets it pass. “Fine. I’m uh—dizzy, kind of. Thirsty. Oh—uh, my shoulder hurts?”

“That would make sense,” the other voice says from somewhere on his other side. “Considering that’s where you were shot.”

A woman with a stethoscope around her neck is poking at the tablet in her hand as she studies his chart. She gives him a Look over the top of her glasses as she details the extent of his injuries.

“You were very lucky this time, Wei Wuxian,” she says sternly. “A couple of millimetres off and it would have nicked a major artery. I’m a world-class surgeon, but I can’t work miracles—not if you insist on putting yourself in unnecessary danger all the time.”

“In my defence, Qing-jie, it was completely necessary this time,” he says cheerfully.

Wen Qing raises the tablet over her head as if to smack him over the head with it. Wei Wuxian pouts and gives her his best puppy dog eyes, but Wen Qing does not buy it. She usually doesn’t, but her features soften anyway and she pats him on his uninjured shoulder before she leaves. 

“Don’t let him get out of bed,” she instructs his companion. “Got it, Lan Wangji?”

Lan Wangji nods. “Thank you, Wen-daifu.”

And then it’s just the two of them, in this too-sterile hospital room, staring at each other. The little crease is still there between Lan Wangji’s brow, and Wei Wuxian’s nose is still itchy, but it feels a little too awkward to be taking care of that particular problem now. He clears his throat and looks away with a wry grin.

“Hey,” he says again. “Thanks for today, Lan Zhan. Really. Don’t know where I’d be without you.”

Lan Wangji says nothing, but the hand resting on the sheets beside his curls into a fist. His face is impassive as always, but there is a twitch in the muscles of his sharp jaw that gives away the extent of his displeasure. Wei Wuxian shifts around, adjusting his position in bed and winces at the discomfort in his shoulder still dulled by the effects of the anaesthetic. Being the subject of Lan Wangji’s disapproval has never been a pleasant experience, but it feels different this time.

He stretches his index finger and taps the knuckles of the fist resting beside him.

“Hey,” he says softly. “Don’t be upset, Lan Zhan. I’m fine. Look!”

Lan Wangji’s frown deepens and the corners of his mouth turn down imperceptibly as he drops his gaze to the bed.

“You should not have done it,” he says stiffly. Unhappily. “You were the target, you should have stayed behind me—”

“Aiya, Lan Zhan,” Wei Wuxian says with a click of his tongue. “I couldn’t stand back and do nothing, could I? You could have been shot!”

“And now you’ve been shot!” The force behind his words startle Wei Wuxian into silence. “Wei-xiansheng. I am your bodyguard. My job is to protect you. Not the other way around.”

Wei Wuxian gnaws on the inside of his cheek and looks up at the ceiling. The tiles are plain and white, as sterile as the rest of the room. It makes his skin crawl.

“I didn’t want you to get hurt,” he says finally. “Not for me.”

“That is my job,” Lan Wangji reminds him. He sighs, frustrated. “Wei-xiansheng, we’ve been over this. Your personal safety should be at the forefront of your concerns.”

“Your brother tells me to leave the worrying to you,” Wei Wuxian says with a wry grin. “That as long as you’re here, I’ll be in safe hands. Or is that not true?”

It is clearly the wrong thing to say, because Lan Wangji’s knuckles turn white and the sheets crumple and twist beneath his fingers. He’s shaking so hard the bed begins to trembling, just slightly, but enough for Wei Wuxian to feel it rattle. He opens his mouth, ready to placate him, but Lan Wangji is faster.

“We cannot protect you if you do not protect yourself first,” he bites out through gritted teeth. “You keep—throwing yourself into dangerous situations without thinking. It was pure luck that you weren’t hurt, or killed any of those times before—”

“Well, not just luck. You’re just really good at your job,” Wei Wuxian interjects. He shrinks under Lan Wangji’s glare, chastened. “Sorry, please continue.”

Lan Wangji exhales and relaxes his grip on the bedsheets.

“I’m doing the best I can to protect you,” he says in a small, defeated tone that weighs heavily on Wei Wuxian’s chest. “But I can’t always be there. I-I can’t always help you when you’re in trouble, Wei Ying.”

Oh. Realisation hits him like a tonne of bricks and he lays there, craning his neck against the terrible pillows, looking at Lan Wangji. His shoulders are slumped, his head bowed; there are dark circles under his eyes and the faint hint of stubble along his jaw, a far cry from his usual crisp, professional demeanour. Wei Wuxian grimaces as a wave of nausea hits him, although he’s not sure if it’s due to the anaesthetic or the guilt churning in his stomach.

Lan Wangji is there immediately, the hurt on his face replaced by concern. 

“Is the wound hurting?” he asks. “I will call Wen-daifu—”

“No, no don’t,” Wei Wuxian says quickly, grabbing onto his hand before he can leave. He feels Lan Wangji’s hand jerk beneath his as if to pull away, and is grateful when he doesn’t. “I’m sorry.”

He chances a look at Lan Wangji and finds his honey-coloured eyes wide and his mouth soft and open with surprise as he stares down at him. It lasts only a second before it disappears behind a mask again, but it’s enough to send his heart tripping over itself and blood rushing to his cheeks. He looks away, chewing on his bottom lip.

“I didn’t mean to worry you,” he continues, staring determinedly at the railing on the other side of the bed. “I just…I didn’t even realise I was moving until I was, you know? I saw the gun pointed at you and my body just…reacted.”

He laughs, blinking back sudden wetness in his eyes.

“I just didn’t want to see you hurt,” he finishes quietly.

He doesn’t dare look at Lan Wangji to gauge his reaction, but he hears the sharp intake of breath and feels the hand in his shift. It turns over and returns his grip, engulfing his hand in a warm, gentle grip.

“Wei Ying,” Lan Wangji breathes. “Wei Ying, look at me?”

His eyes are warm and gentle, tinged with sadness. He lifts Wei Wuxian’s hand and clasps it in both of his, bringing it to his cheek and brushing his lips over the knuckles. The brief contact sends tingles rushing down Wei Wuxian’s arms and his heart does an involuntary little flip. And then Lan Wangji smiles, no more than a tiny little quirk at the corner of his lips, but it is enough to send his heart rate skyrocketing—which is embarrassingly reflected in the sudden spike on the ECG machine still beeping away merrily by his bed.

“Wei Ying,” Lan Wangji says softly, the words ghosting over his fingers. “I don’t want to see you hurt either.”

The matter-of-factness in his tone fills Wei Wuxian with a warm, fuzzy feeling he’s quite sure does not relate to the anaesthetic. He offers him a sheepish little smile and strokes his thumb over the back of Lan Wangji’s hand.

“I’m sorry,” he says in a small voice. “I won’t do it again.”

Lan Wangji huffs.

“Yes you will,” he says with a hint of fondness in his voice. “But thank you.”

Wei Ying's eyes widened when a body was reported. "Oop," he said, mind already coming up with his alibi.

"Body was in med," Wen Qing said.

"Hm, purple is a little sus," Wei Ying tossed out with a shiteating grin.

"What? No! I've been doing my tasks! Wei Ying, you fucking moron, you saw me do trash!"

"Could've been fake,"

Jiang Cheng exploded and Wei Ying leaned back, enjoying the increasing chaos. Wen Qing tried to get it back under control. She failed.

Ten seconds before voting, "Hey, does anyone wanna marry me?"

A beat of silence.

"Wei Ying what the fuck-" Jiang Cheng started.

"I will," Lan Zhan interrupted.

"Sweet!" Wei Ying said as 'no one was ejected' was typed out in his screen. "Meet me in electrical."

"Mn."

Wei Ying immediately went to electrical, grinning ear to ear.

"Yay! Me and Lan Zhan are married now!" He giggled then inched his character forward before moving it back and forth erratically. As he did this, purple flashed before his eyes and then his new husband's body flopped forward, ruthlessly cut in half.

"It's Jiang Cheng!" He screamed the second his mic was unmuted. "He killed my husband! Why Jiang Cheng, why?!"

"I- hey wait-"

One by one, red vote icons appeared before every character whole Wei Ying dramatically sobbed. Jiang Cheng was ejected.

"My heart," Wei Ying sniffed. "It's a void that will never be filled again," he wiped a tear. "If I can't be happy, no one can."

With renewed determination, he exited cafeteria and went on the hunt.

"Hello, Wen Qing," he murmured before boom, gun to the back of the head. Nie Huaisang was the next to fall, but the body was reported a second later.

"Um, I saw Wei Ying kill Huaisang," said Wen Ning.

"The ultimate betrayal!" Lan Xichen gasped. "My poor brother."

"Hey! I didn't kill Lan Zhan!" Wei Ying shouted. "I just went on a rampage. Like John Wick!"

Nie Huaisang snorted.

"Wei Ying," Lan Zhan said gravely.

"Yes?"

"Will gladly be Wei Ying's husband in real life too."

Wei Ying's jaw dropped. "Did you, did you just propose? In Among Us?"

"Mn,"

"Lan Zhan!!"

"I cannot believe these two morons," Jiang Cheng groaned and Wen Qing rolled her eyes.

"Congratulations," Wen Ning piped up.

"I am so tweeting about this," said Nie Huaisang.

"A-Jie is going to kill you," Jiang Cheng said, but was ignored.

"Lan Zhan I can't believe you!!" Wei Ying wailed. "I can't even kiss you right now!"

"My apologizes. Will kiss Wei Ying as many times as he wishes to make up for it."

"Please stop," Lan Xichen begged.

"Yes please do!" Jiang Cheng said. "I do not need to think about my brother kissing anyone, much less Lan Zhan!"

"Wei Ying, I love you," Lan Zhan said so tenderly it was creepy.

Wei Ying's face turned bright red, but he managed to stammer, "I love you too," much to the exasperation (and disgust in Jiang Cheng's case) of everyone.

Modern Mafia AU! + cliff scene from the Untamed

So here. Everyone goes on as is canon, but think of it as a war between mafia members and replace swords and magic with guns. The Wen remnants escape, JYL survives a gunshot wound but is in a coma. JZX dies in a car crash where WWX had been driving but the car was rigged by JGY.

This idea was inspired by a video on how a magnet floats on a superconductor.

_________________

“Lan Zhan, let me go!”

Lan Wangji gritted his teeth and shook his head. There was still a way out of this. Wei Ying did not have to die!!

But then Jiang Wanyin came up beside him, gun in hand and pointed it at Wei Ying. Lan Wangji was about to use his own gun to knock off Jiang Wanyin’s when the man redirected the shot at the last moment, hitting something else.

But he aimed at a core structure that held them up and Lan Wangji felt the wooden structure beneath them shake violently.

Lan Wangji turned to Wei Ying and saw the resignation in his eyes as he managed to slip his hand from Lan Wangji’s grasp.

“Wei Ying!!” He wanted to leap after him but was held back by his brother, who drew him away from the edge.

No, no. He couldn’t believe it. This isn’t—this can’t be happening.

Wei Ying……

……………

They never found a body at the bottom and that was the only thing keeping Lan Wangji going, despite there being no way Wei Ying could have survived the fall.

He kept hoping that Wei Ying would turn up one day, and rejoin both him and A’ Yuan who he had been entrusted with when Wen Qing and her family escaped. Even when a report of a body with Wei Ying’s likeness was found, he ignored it. Wei Ying was alive. He had to be. Lan Wangji didn’t know what he’d do if he wasn’t.

He trudged along as the days passed and before he knew it, three years had passed since that fateful day.

And Wei Ying returned.

………………….

After all the lies and schemes that Jin Guangyao had told and done, Wei Ying returned with Lan Wangji and became his husband.

Everything was all well and good but there was one thing on Lan Wangji’s mind.

“Wei Ying?”

“Yeah?”

“How did you survive the fall?”

“Hm? Oh, that.” Wei Ying sat up. “Well, er-gege, it was quite simple. You saw that superconductor at the bottom right?”

Lan Wangji nodded.

Wei Ying grinned. “Well, did you know that I have magnets imbedded in my shoes?”

“You…..You planned this?” Lan Wangji was speechless. He was well-aware that magnets float when coming into contact with superconductors.

“Well, yes. Nie-Xiong had told me that the car was rigged when I got into that crash. And with the events that followed, it was clear that someone was trying to frame me.” He shrugged. “So I framed my death and worked with Huaisang to find out the culprit. But I had to make sure everyone knew I was dead so I left a fake body.”

Lan Wangji’s hands tightened around Wei Ying and he buried his face into his shoulder.

Wei Ying stroked his hair. “I know…..that my “death” caused you pain. So,” He turned to face Lan Wangji, a wicked, sultry grin painting his face. “Let me make it up to you, er-gege. For the rest of our lives.”

“Mark your words.” Lan Wangji growled and pounced on a giggling Wei Ying.
