Time lapse of this art!!

[sasukimimochi]

I decided these sketches would go up as is so here they are! i might work on the left sketch separately in the future, because that one is my favorite of the wwx sketches on his own but i don't think it looks quite right like this [and i still like the sketch alone more than with any color even if its muted, which is usually a sign it needs to be worked on lmao]

anyway, this is IMBSB WWX! aka Angel WWX for my other afterlife au, "In My Blood, Stardust Blooms". i wanted to focus more on figuring him out than drawing anything super nice for these. [these were drawn before my actual ficlet art i recently posted, so he looks better in that ficlet art than here imo lol]

more info and links to art under the read more line!

“In My Blood, Stardust Blooms” / IMBSB is a short project that not unlike COI is about the afterlife, but centered on angels pretty exclusively this time [while COI is mostly centered in hell]. It delves into the mysteries of the forbidden land of Yiling and loss, and of course a particular couple of angel’s love for each other. I have started writing, but it's of course not up yet as it's going to be either a one shot or very few chapters. [this doesn't mean i won't make more stories about this setting in the future, it's just i don't have any future plans for it yet past what i'm doing as of now]. You can find the first post on Reddit here and Tumblr here!

Something I noticed about myself is that I always give my favorite characters the head cannon that they can make great soup.

Dabi? Great chicken noodle for his bad immune system.

Wei Ying? Not as good as his beloved Shi Ji but he does a pretty good spicy version of pork rib and lotus root soup.

Angel Dust? His straciatella is always rich in flavor and full of fresh, still crispy peas.

Itachi? Don't make me laugh. He can whip up a cream stew that would knock your socks off.

Soup wizards one and all!

I'm desperatley trying to make time go faster while my chicken stock finishes.

Ángel - Wei Wuxian AU!

This story has a beginning of wanting to put spiritual wings on Wei Ying and demonstrate his marvellous cultivation, although of course these would disappear when he gave up his core. It is an AU inspired by a fanart

1. Hii I'm kinda new here but if you can help me it would be awesome!! So basically, I don't know if there really a fic like that exactly, but anything close is great. I'm looking for a fic where lan zhan locks wei ying (probably in the cloud recesses), and for some reason, wei ying can't see/has eye cover. The idea is based on the scene where lan zhan says he wants to take someone (wei ying) and hide this someone. Thanks a lot😁 @untamedlover

2. Hi! I would love recommendations for Wei Wuxian/Nie Mingjue if anyone has any! I loved “Better Things To Do With A Flute In Wartime” for the sexy times but mainly for the feeling like Nie Mingjue recognized that Wei Wuxian was more than just a troublemaker, he saw that Wei Wuxian was a strong, capable, smart man. Would love any recs people have for this duo! Thank you!

4. Hi!! 👋🥰

It's me! I'm on vacation finally, I missed you all so much, but I couldn't read fanfics during my exams (it's too distracting). But now I'm free again, so I'm here to ask a ITMF! Yey!

Lately I'd like to read fanfics in which:

A) LQ discover about the absence of WWX's core and decides to help WWX and the Wens. And bring all of them to Gusu.

B) LQ discover about the abuse of Madam Yu and decides that WWX will stay in Gusu. (I love when this happens during the Cloud Recesses Study Arc, but it's ok if this happens in other moment).

I like happy endings, and I prefer when the good people live (Wens, JY, JC...) and only bad people dies. Long fics if it's possible, but shorts are ok too. No modern fics.

Thank you for everything! 🤟🥰💕 @wangxiansgirl

It's been a while since I read the fic so I don't remember if there's an eventually Golden Core reveal, but it's not the reason LQR has for inviting WWX and the Wen to the Cloud Recesses. But hopefully this is similar enough that the requester will enjoy it anyway.

Wei Wuxian scoffs, “Kids these days can’t handle a little dismemberment.” Lan Wangji frowns at him, “No one likes dismemberment, Wei Ying.” Wei Wuxian shrugs, “Well, presumably not, but you kind of get used to it.”

the juniors are a bit squeamish (chp. 24)

“Aunt?” Wei Wuxian asks, looking at Wen Qing. “Who else do you think could handle being married to Jiang Cheng?” she says, tone deliberately casual. It’s very satisfying when his jaw drops and he goggles like a fish. “What did you people do while I was gone?” he shrieks.

Wei Wuxian evacuates the Burial Mounds before they fall. Jin Zixun attacks before Jin Ling's birth. Yanli and Jin Zixuan survive and Jiang Cheng marries Wen Qing to protect the Wen Remnants. Thirteen years later Wei Wuxian returns from the dead to a very different world.

Winter Wei Ying Head Cannon

He’s never seen snow until he goes to the Cloud Recesses. He knows it’s on the mountains and has heard that it’s cold.

he’s never seen it falling, or touched it. He makes demonic snow angels by accident, because he’s just rolling around in it like a dog.

Wei Ying thinks he’s the first person to make snow people and throw snowballs. Lan Zhan joins in when Wei Ying asks, he doesn’t correct him about inventing them and let’s him tell everyone he’s the inventor of snow people.

Lan Zhan just watches as Wei Ying pelts the juniors with snow balls. When they shout to Lan Zhan for help. He tells them it’s combat training.

I just finished angelxian!!👼 wwx is too playful~ look forward to the time-lapse👀

[sasukimimochi]

sorry guys i got so tired suddenly (i've been running on very little sleep) and i ended up napping before i finished the sketches

BUT once i finish sleeping (cuz i am still in dire need of more sleep rn my head is killing me) i will finish working on them. i did get it ready to go in clip but i still wanna line/color one of the smaller things for reference and of course edit everything to be more easily seen how i usually do, and maybe even clean them up as well i'm not sure since my brain is just not doing so hot rn

here's another preview as an apology for accidentally lying about when i was gonna post this asdfsg

as a reminder: these sketches imma show are for angel wwx from my short fic i want to finish writing called IMBSB, or "In My Blood, Stardust Blooms" that like COI, is about the afterlife but centered on angels instead and not meant to be very long. [though who knows if i might ever write more one shots for it or make it one or three chapters long, but for now, it's just a one-and-done type project i'm planning]. more below the cut with extra art!

Here's another new text preview as well for another treat:

more Info/art is below the cut!

here's the previews from the last preview post as well:

And the fic summary!

“In My Blood, Stardust Blooms” / IMBSB is a short project that not unlike COI is about the afterlife, but centered on angels this time. It delves into the mysteries of a forbidden land and loss, and of course a particular couple of angel’s love for each other. I have only done one bit of art for this project [LWJ looks the same for the most part as he does in COI however] even though I have started writing, which you can find on Reddit here and Tumblr here.

of course this doesn't count the art that i will be posting a little later!

Also, just as a detail i wanna mention: this will not be a completely happy fic, it will have a happy-ish ending, but i did come up with parallels to canon for this story! so if you think it'll be boring, i hope you won't think so now haha but of course i'm hoping for a lot of gay so it will have the best of both !

Moods

Here's the LWJ (me) being thirsty over WWX fic I've been wanting to write all day and have been enabled to do by @sasumimo <3

Enjoy!!

Today, Lan Wangji has woken up in a mood. What mood?

Guess. It starts with an "h".

Now you might be wondering - isn't he always like that? And the answer is yes, he is, but today it's even more so than usual, and that's saying something.

There isn't even a particular reason. He just woke up at 5 on the dot, like he always does, turned to look at his sleeping husband Wei Ying and had the same realization he has every morning - Wei Ying is alive, in his bed, naked, beautiful and married to him. For some reason, that realization hit so much harder today.

Wei Ying has always been beautiful, even if only just by virtue of being Wei Ying - but his features have always been objectively beautiful even without the added layer of Lan Wangji's adoration.

And now that Mo Xuanyu's body has become more Wei Ying's than ever before, his appearance shifting closer to that of the soul inhabiting it, Lan Wangji can't help but be attracted to him. That's a given, of course, since they're married and also very sexually active - but to be absolutely blunt, Wei Ying has been getting hotter by the day and Lan Wangji feels himself flashback to his teenage years when his beloved's beauty haunted his dreams and his fantasies every night.

Lan Wangji likes to take the time and appreciate what he has every now and then - and today he wants to do so thoroughly. And if he's a little late to his duties today, let the elders dare say something about it.

Wei Ying sighs, wistfully, in his sleep, his lips slightly parted to let the breath out. They're pink and plush and Lan Wangji knows from first hand experience how soft, inviting and insatiable they can be. And how very teasing and skilled.

Wei Ying's nose scrunches slightly at whatever he is dreaming, and Lan Wangji almost moves to kiss the very tip of it. But he knows Wei Ying doesn't like to be woken up so early, even with affection, so he tallies the kiss for later and continues his bout of admiration.

Wei Ying's long lashes nearly brush the tips of his soft cheeks, pulled over his stormy eyes in a serene expression. He looks angelic like this, nestled in white sheets like he is sleeping on the softest cloud in the sky.

His hair falls around him like a veil, the long strands hiding the naked skin of his back where Lan Wangji has bitten his love into so many times last night. The training he has been doing has already started to pay off, muscle rippling underneath the skin as Wei Ying turns on his other side, the blanket riding down to expose even more skin.

Lan Wangji's eyes inevitably draw along his spine, where his body narrows into his thin waist that still carries the finger-shapes bruises of Lan Wangji's hold, a dip like a valley between his torso and his hips.

The blanket covers everything that comes next, but Lan Wangji knows it all too well. The soft plush of Wei Ying's thighs, littered with hickies and bitemarks, the round meat of his ass that Lan Wangji just so loves squeezing and turning red and-

There is an insistent knock on the door of the jingshi and Lan Wangji curses in his mind at that. He did not want his fantasies to be interrupted just yet.

A disciple he doesn't recognize bows deeply. "Apologies, Hanguang-Jun, your uncle wishes to speak with you right now. I was sent to remind you, as you are late."

Lan Wangji sends the disciple on his way and grumbles to himself about the rude awakening from his soft, horny world, and finally proceeds with his morning routine.

Well, he'll get plenty of time to admire Wei Ying later.

---

Lan Wangji is going to die.

Okay, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, he's not in any mortal danger, he's just doing sword practice runs with the juniors right next to where Wei Ying is doing his core strengthening training.

Shirtless.

Why is he shirtless? Who knows, maybe there is some kind of cultivation-related reason, maybe he's just hot.

(He is.)

Either way, Lan Wangji is trying so hard not to embarrass himself in front of his class right now. He's trying to focus on their swordplay and give genuine advice on how to improve - but his eyes linger a bit too much on the way Wei Ying moves swiftly as he wields Suibian, his skin glistening with sweat in the sunlight. And so very full of hickies.

He's focused on his work, eyebrows furrowed, and his ponytail swirls in the wind like a whip - and Lan Wangji is so in love right now, and so distracted. He has never wished to be Suibian more than right now, to be so tightly held onto and moved around with such precision...

And then. And then! Wen Ning shows up. Why is he there? When did he return?

(Sizhui must be back too, what a relief, they've been gone for a long time!)

But Wen Ning and Wei Ying begin sparring after a short conversation and Lan Wangji doesn't know if the display makes him more jealous or aroused. His husband moves so nimbly, so confidently, and he's so powerful even if he has yet to reach the prime of his first life - Lan Wangji doesn't want to be Suibian anymore, he wants to be Wen Ning and get to fight Wei Ying, strategically let him close in the distance between them and pretend to lose his footing and ask to surrender... beg for mercy even...

One of the Lan juniors turns towards Jingyi, who pointedly refuses to look at either of their seniors, a pink blush on his cheeks.

"Should we tell Hanguang-Jun class is over?"

"You tell him."

"Why don't you tell him? What's wrong with him?"

"You don't wanna know."

---

When Lan Wangji doesn't find Wei Ying in the jingshi at the end of the day, his first thought is panic.

His second, the cold springs.

He does remember Wei Ying telling him he will be doing some intensive training today and will need to heal and balance his body after - and what better place to do that than the cold springs.

So, Lan Wangji goes to find him.

And find him he does.

He's submerge underneath the little waterfall that supplies the cold springs, hair curtaining his body as he meditates, water running down the contours of his body like silver rivulets.

Lan Wangji decides he's going to be a voyeur for a little longer, he's going to award himself the pleasure of watching the water drip down Wei Ying's body, shining onto his skin, and he's going to allow himself to fantasize about his hands trailing down the same pathway.

He's going to imagine himself joining his husband in the water, and pressing himself close to Wei Ying under a pathetic guise of seeking warmth... and he's going to find that warmth all over and inside Wei Ying for hours, with only the water as their witnes...

"Hanguang-Jun." Wei Ying's teasing voice comes and Lan Wangji nearly jumps out of skin at the sound. "It is improper to stare when somebody is bathing." And his eyes open, a mischevous glint in the grey pupils. "You either leave, or join in."

Wei Ying swims to the edge of the spring that's closest to Lan Wangji. "And by the looks of it, you've been wanting to join me for a while."

Lan Wangji's ears burn, caught red-handed, but he doesn't deny, proceeding to discard of his many layers of robes.

"I was wondering when you'd break." Wei Ying smiles, dark and seductive and Lan Wangji wonders if he'd regret not undressing properly if he jumped Wei Ying in the water right now. "I know you've been... admiring me all day, undressing me with your eyes... I'm going to catch a cold if you do that so often, you know? Exposure is no joke."

Lan Wangji reaches to undo his forehead ribbon.

"Leave that on." Wei Ying nearly purrs as he puts some more distance between them, taking his place beneath the waterfall. "You'll need something to catch this siren with, won't you?"

The tea to my heart by blackmorphos

What a soft, sweet story. I really loved the emotions and pacing - adorable! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Quotes:

Early next Saturday morning, the brothers were at work in the bakery, enjoying the calm, quiet time together after a busy week. Lan Zhan was focused on shaping long ears out of pink dough and placing them on his rabbit-shaped buns, a Saturday only special that was very popular with children. 

In the back of his mind, he was running through a new melody that had come to him. He also hadn’t been able to get the young man from last week out of his thoughts, remembering his restlessness, how he talked too much, and his bright blazing smile. Lan Zhan did not receive smiles like that very often unless it was to flatter him, or chat him up, both of which he detested. He had honed his cold stare put-down into an art form. But that man’s smiles had been charming and natural, not at all calculated and false.

————

Lan Zhan resumed his work in the kitchen, pointedly ignoring Lan Xichen’s amused glances. Casual conversation was difficult for him, but Wei Ying didn’t seem to mind his silences. That man could talk enough for both of them in any case, he mused. Sometime later, he heard Wei Ying call, “your payment is on the counter,” and then the bell as he departed.

Left behind was a delicate sketch of two rabbits with angel wings. He picked it up and smiled. Then he noticed that there was something on the back as well. 

Written in a messy scrawl was:  

‘Elm Street Community gardens, 58 Elm Street. We are there every Saturday from 1 - 4pm, mostly - (if it’s raining, don’t bother). Come along sometime. Only if you want to. WY’

T, 84k

Summary:

A tray being placed onto the table in front of him startled Wei Ying’s attention away from his phone. He looked up with a smile before seeing what the man had brought him.

“You will have tea,” the man said in a low deep voice that brooked no argument.

By the time that had filtered into his brain the guy had already walked away and disappeared out the back. Wei Ying looked down. No coffee, but there was a blue teapot with a small matching cup and a plate with a steam bun on it. Wei Ying blinked stupidly at it for a few moments before deciding it wasn’t worth arguing with the scarily intense man over it, and reached for the bun. It looked so inviting, and it was still warm. Biting into it Wei Ying then realised just how hungry he was, and within seconds the bun had been devoured. It was the best thing he had ever tasted.

—

A sleep deprived Wei Ying stumbles into a tea shop, meets an impossibly beautiful man, and is served a cup of tea that changes his life in more ways than he could have possibly expected.

A modern day meet cute with heaps of Wangxian fluff, mutual pining, and A-Yuan adorableness galore!
