[Discreetly married RenCheng, chaos discovery]
RenCheng | Mo Dao Zu Shi Modern AU 31-05-2022
[married #rencheng, modern sett., chaos >:3]
Jiang Cheng and Lan Qiren are both rather discreet men. One because he grew up with everything he did compare to others, the other because this is simply how he grew up.
This is probably why it wasn't all that surprising for lqr and jc to marry in such a discreet way, without officially telling anyone. They want it to be small and intimate, they knew both their family would have blown it out of proportion.
(they were also very aware of the rather large age gap too, there was no need to add to it).
The only ones present were little a-ling and little a-yi. Jl had fallen into shared custody between him and jgy after the unfortunate demise of his sister and brother-in-law.
ljy had been adopted by lqr somewhere at the beginning of their relationship, jc more than happy to help raise the little boy.
Their wedding was small, but having these two young boys with them was enough.
Afterwards they never really made anything official aside from documents. They didn't hide it either, they were simply discreet men who kept the intimacy for when they were alone at home, away from prying eyes.
They would both tell people how much they loved their husbands when asked, sharing a little house where they took care of ljy and jl. They went to events together, and people never questioned it.
Then chaos happened one evening when the Jade's brother and wwx came over for dinner.
lwj was asked to go get something upstairs for lqr and wwx decided to follow along, being a little snoopy since lqr never allowed him to go about freely in his house ("unfair, a-cheng can do it though 😤").
And slowly wwx started to realise that many of the things he found around the house belonged to his chengcheng?
Was his a-cheng cheating on his husband with lqr😱?! Even lwj frown, looking unsure if his own uncle was really cheating on his husband with jc.
cue wgxn running back downstair, their mission forgotten as they joined people back in the living room.
"A-cheng!? You are cheating on your husband?!" suddenly accused wwx cue jc looking at him all "???" because last time he checked he never did anything with anyone else than lqr, at least not since he started being with him.
"I didn't think shushu would do such a thing," lwj said, sounding disappointed.
this led to the four people in the living room being even more confused. "What are you even talking about?" jc ends up asking wwx.
"I found your thing scattered around the house" ("You snooped around?😑") "a-cheng you cannot do that to your husband!?".
silence follows wwx statement, the brother and wwx looking tense and apprehensive of knowing what exactly is going on.
"My things are "scattered" all over the house because 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 my house" jc points out, lqr shaking his head with a sigh.
this only made the trio even more confused. Since when? this led to lxc and wwx asking questions to their respective family member, clearly confused.
"They are married, you dumbass" jl ended up pointing out ("language" jc scolded after).
This left the trio gaping at the news, looking at the little family as if they all had grown a few other heads.
"Since when!!!!" wwx quickly asked
"You never told me" lxc frowned
"🤨??"
"I told you I was married" lqr said before drinking some tea
"I did too" simply shrugged jc, "Not my fault you never asked to who or didn't figure out in the past ten years"
"Ten years!!"
"yes ten years" ljy smirked, going to the corner table where stood a couple of frames. "Look at how small we were the day they got married" he added while bringing the frame with him.
"It's not our fault you never realised jiujiu was literally living with his husband, why did you me and jiujiu were always here when you came over?" jl asked, before a grin also spread over his lips, "Why we were always by yizhang side when going to a diner or other events"
"And when a-die couldn't pick me up when I was sick, it was Baba who came to pick me up" ljy commented "I even called jiang cheng baba in front of you more than once" the teen pointed out.
"Wei Ying, you were literally invited with lan wangji to our tenth-year anniversary last month" jc pointed out. they had gone for a nice dinner in a fancy restaurant and had invited the 3 men.
Silence came again as the Jade brother and wwx seemed to be slowly reviewing the past ten years, and from the look of it, they were also slowly finding more and more occurrences where everything made more sense knowing they were married.
the silence was broken when a melody started to play, jc looked down at his phone.
"Ah, food is ready," he said while standing up, "I'll need both your help," he said towards the two young men who followed after him.
jl and ljy both looked rather smug about all this. They had known for so long and had seen how happy the couple had been all these years without people bothering them. They were the ones who had been there ten years ago!
jl even stuck his tongue out to wwx, the man who claimed to know everything about his jiujiu but hadn't even figured out who his husband was all this time.
Later, the diner was served and a conversation started between the little family as if the event of earlier hadn't happened.
====
(that was pretty fun to write really, rencheng being a happily married couple for ten years and the people close to them none the wiser about it (maybe jgy had his own suspicious or had figured it out)

Horrible thing to say but I think there's a real chance Jiang Yanli was both of her parents' least favorite child and knew it and just kinda. Had to go on with her life knowing that.
#mdzs#jiang yanli#yunmeng siblings#madam yu's favorite kid is jc. she doesn't. um. SHOW it in a very affirming way but he's clearly the one she's emotionally most invested in#jfm's favorite kid is wwx. is he even one of his kids? doesn't matter. he's the favorite#(madam yu does NOT see wwx as her child so he doesn't factor into the calculation for her.)#i think jfm's neglect of jc is talked about. mostly because the both jc and wwx are clearly aware of it and so it's mentioned in novel#but um... DO we see either of yanli's parents give much a shit about her? ever?#jfm doesn't even ask if she WANTS her engagement dissolved before doing so#also the reason stated by other characters for jfm not liking jc is that he's madam yu's child. you know who is ALSO madam yu's child?#i think jfm may find jc.. harder to get along with. but i also think whatever discomfort from his marriage he projects onto his kids#it also extends to yanli. it's just that he's not constantly REMINDED of yanli like he is jc#(because madam yu keeps yelling about it)#and so he just... doesn't think about her much at all#madam yu meanwhile treats yanli with this air of disappointment. she seems to resent that she's 'weak' and gentle and quiet#and that she cares so little about status so as to treat wwx like her little brother#i think yanli is just fundamenally so clearly... not the child either of her parents wanted. and it shows.#i'm slightly peeved fandom doesn't talk about this as much as they talk about the effects the jiang parents had on the two boys.#but to be fair to fandom the book doesn't either#which is probaly just danmei-typical misogyny. but to give a slightly more watsonian reason#i think the yunmeng bros are genuinely unaware of this. yanli is PERFECT how could her parents not love her?#(of course they notice something like zixuan's initial dislike of her but that's blatant.)#(vs the attitude of the jiang parents towards their daughter which seems to be mostly... disinterest and disappointment)

rarepair on side, rarepair on side!
#dungeon meshi#shuro#toshiro nakamoto#namari#toshimari#i think i don't like them romantically as much as i do like... well#the guy went a little hard on the marriage proposal#i think he needs something more casual while he figures himself out too#n i wanna explore some stuff with namari too once i understand her more...#they have a lot of common ground i think. better thoughts coming soon#they're jist so underrated as a dynamic in general#like geez its not like they share half their screentime or anything!#but yeah like. one of those things that's short term experience rather than a long one#and i ❤️ secret third thing#you've heard “chilchuck's type is blondes''#now here comes ''namari's type is tall quiet black-haired people''

I feel like Jason would wind up married for some reason and just not tell anyone. And then one of his henchmen, while fighting the Bats during one of their weekly ideological disputes on how to handle a shared problem would go, "No wonder he hates you guys, you're ruining his damn honeymoon!" and all hell would break loose.
#Very very ooc#Dick would die laughing and play at being hurt while Cass got confused about why everyone was going so crazy over this (has married Steph m#Damian and Tim and Steph would send mocking wedding gifts like toasters#Bruce would probably have some kind of stroke while maintaining he doesn't give a shit and investigating the crap out of Jason’s partner#Alfred would remind Bruce to take it easy which is hard once Babs confirms the marriage is legit#Duke knew about it from the jump and witnessed it but honoured Jason’s request to keep quiet because he does not want to be involved#I feel like there's a reasonable set of shenanigans where Red Hood could get married#THIS IS A JOKE#If someone decides that they're gonna be annoying I will spray you with a water gun#You'll not like it#batfamily#personal#Shitpost#batman#dc comics#bruce wayne#jason todd#Red hood#Jeez Cass tag got cut off (has married Steph mid case)

this picture of sal vulcano really does have its own sorta je ne sais quoi that not only do i understand why from very early days it has been a staple on impractical jokers but it became a meme outside of that. it's not just like any sort of unflattering pic. it has its own kind of majesty
#there's one particular picture of me at age 16 that is so bad it's hilarious and kaily and i use it often#all of my friends have seen it. but it's not quite. the subtle grace#like i have a big thumbs up and am pulling the fuckiest looking smile and my hair's a mess#this is as simple as a bad angle and bad lighting. there's a quiet dignity in here. underneath the tonight's big loser meme#i used to know a guy in college who had this photo as his lockscreen and it always made me laugh when he checked his phone#text post#impractical jokers#sal vulcano#congrats to him on his marriage and daughter that he recently announced too#after having seen this picture of sal vulcano so many times it really does develop an unconventional beauty#it's admirable in a way#like i would paint this how andy warhol painted the campbell's can

Having late night thoughts about how in the TSCU the faithless love and betrayal of hoax flows right into the loveless marriage allegory in Fortnight
#don’t want no other shade of blue but you ->#All my mornings are Mondays stuck in an endless February#your faithless love’s the only hoax i believe in ->#my husband is cheating i want to kill him#what you did was just as dark ->#what about your quiet treason#etc#like the loveless marriage in fortnight is the consequence of sticking by the faithless love in hoax#the tortured poets department#writing letters addressed to the fire

Cursed but funny: Tuvok transitions... and so does T'Pel. They are still straight, just t4t about it
Alternatively: Tuvok and T'Pel are both bigender and they take turns so there's always a wife and a husband, it just varies who's who
Incorrect! Bigender/Trans Tuvok is not cursed at all and is in fact a blessed image, sight, thought etc v_v Please rise and salute Mz Vulcan!!!! That IS undoubtedly a funny scenario though - they are forever destined to be Husband & Wife. Imagine worrying for several years that your wife might leave you for being trans and then you meet with her again and she's your husband and the only thing that changes is you're HIS wife now. This is T'Vok's life.
#'Mz' as in 'Mizz Vulcan' not a nonbinary equivalent of Mr or Mrs#Mz Vulcan just suits Tuvok so much more than Ms or Mrs#Q&A#anon#Tuvok would transition and not tell anyone the entire time#It'd be like a game of chicken - who's gonna say something first? Tuvok certainly will not#Neelix: Hello Commander~!! -pouring tea- Did you have a good day~?#Tuvok: -takes a sip without looking at him- That depends on what the parameters for a 'good' day are.#Chakotay: You love giving our chef here a hard time huh~? / Neelix: Oh nothing I can't handle commander!#Tom: Ok. I'll bite. WHAT is going on with you Tuvok?#<- Finally asking after several months of not saying a word#Tuvok: -raises a brow- You will have to be more specific.#Neelix & Chakotay: [enjoying this] Yeah I don't really catch your meaning <3#Harry who was smart enough to stay quiet is dying beside his man#I love bigender Tuvok as a concept#both Tuvok being personally bigender and also the concept of Vulcan marriage involving both parties becoming a bit bigender - as a treat#trans star trek#trans tuvok

a current day nils and a 90s college student nils who's way too intense about his internship walk into a bar
#hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii nils hiiii 💗🤭#let me get my important tags out of the way so i can write you a novella in the rest of them#ts4#ts4 cas#ts4 edit#the sims 4#nils#i've been exploring his character 🏃♂️#his full name is nils pelletier he's from canada originally he went to nyc for college and stayed there forever#he didn't grow up with much but he was really good at school so he got a scholarship and he was very very determined to become rich#he interned at frankie's dad's company and was offered a full time position after he graduated yayy you made it. i guess :| (evil company)#he's always been very stern very serious very quiet he's never had many if any friends. he was a deeply unhappy child#his parents weren't even bad they're nice and supportive and tried their best#he was married and has one son but he hasn't been married for a while. i don't know if it's divorce or death or what yet#it was the first girl he ever had a relationship with and he was also her first relationship#a very dull marriage but again not a bad one. she was nice and supportive and tried her best#it seemed like it was what they were supposed to do. get married and have a child bam done you did what was expected congrats#they barely ever even argued it was just. well loveless seems a harsh word. and 'well they were friends at least' seems untruthful#anyway he often has to be frankie's handler because frankie's dad is his boss and he does what he's told always#frankie's really difficult though

oh Wait A Second
Hang The Fuck On
Ive Got Another Thing Actually my beloved eloise Also came up with the dumbass plan to claim to be whistledown when she was backed into a corner by the queen it was a stupid plan then same as it was for cressida
the difference being eloise was confiding unwittingly To whistledown who immediately did everything in her power to shut that shit down for obvious reasons
ELOISE WAS IN DAMN NEAR THE SAME POSITION AS CRESSIDA WAS
at least in terms of personal desperation and impending doom closing in like for the love of fuck no one else could have possibly been in a better position to if not help then at the very Least EMPATHIZE
if everything went exactly as it had but *before* the dropping of the 'friendship soured' Out of Nowhere eloise had tried to comfort or reason with cressida Especially from this VERY RIDICULOUSLY SPECIFIC AND NICHE common thread but nuture and fear won out and cressida still went ahead with her ill-advised gambit?
and their friendship imploded accordingly
I would Not be nearly as annoyed as I am now because hey I like angst WHEN ITS GOOD STORYTELLING like damn
IT WAS RIGHT THERE Y'ALL ELOISE LITERALLY EXPERIENCED IT SHE HAD THE SAME THOUGHT WHY DID NO ONE USE THAT
#cressida cowper#im im y'all what#why#the more i sit here thinking about the less sense it all makes#i think maybe eloise is so bad at reading people that she thought#cressidas desperate attempt at finding a silver lining was geninue#and she just wrote her off in that moment#in my more delusional shipping mode i like to think my oblivious little babydyke el#heard cressida talking about this marriage with FEIGNED enthusiam and her heartbroke#like you can see in her eyes that shes trying to put on a brave face to smile through the horror of what cress is actually saying#and it hurts so much in a way she cannot quantify or understand#so she does the simplest thing a removes the source of it cressida#and then she reconciles with pen#and so she once again is not alone#and i think once she has the space and the quiet away she may start to feel the pain of cressida's absence just as keenly#as her presence just out of reach#and i want to be clear here i am not hating on eloise#i love eloise#i do however wanna meet some of these writers in a denny's parking#c'mon i just wanna talk#cressida x eloise#bridgerton spoilers

my hot take of the day is that clearly the people who swallow the in universe targ & valyrian exceptionalism are being completely taken in by the exact system that george is trying to critique but also i think the people who over correct into this idea that not a single targaryen is worthy of like, our empathy or sorrow or are rightfully chafing against the structures put in place by valyrians, first men, and andals alike are also being incredibly 2d in their analysis. i feel like this happens most often when people try to make the case that andals are somehow oppressed in westerosi society on a cultural level simply bc valyrian supremacy trumps andal culture. i think this is incredibly silly to say or posit as the truth in universe because there is in fact some oppression of culture in westeros but it’s not the andals lol!!! it’s the first men, the dornish, the rhoynar/greenblood orphans, and the ironborn. there Is some level of,,,, idk bigotry/xenophobia towards valyrians but only valyrians who don’t worship the faith - people like larra rogare, who still follow valyrian gods, do face this bigotry because they’re Too Foreign, the same way someone like thoros, melisandre, taena, etc who are essosi but not from a still heavy valyrian-based society like volantis and lys, and that’s definitely important to the conversation, because it shows the Dominant Culture is in fact the Andal culture when it comes to westeros and that’s like,,, fine, and even more interesting to me to see how andals, who have been the dominant force on westeros for thousands of years, interact with valyrians, who clearly want to keep ideas of valyrian supremacy alive somehow and essentially try to get the other dominant force in westeros to buy in (which they do!). like, are these two at odds sometimes? yes! but i don’t think it’s correct to say that the andals face ~prejudice for being andals or followers of the faith either!
#like certainly people in fandom get insane about the andals bc they’re projecting their hate of catholicism onto them.#but george himself is not writing about how all catholics are inherently evil he’s writing about the STRUCTURE being evil. i think the#series in fact finds something useful in one person’s individual faith & the way they may internalize it. that’s why we get the quiet isle!#getting on my soap box#yes i did see a post about the [redacted] being oppressed by the mean evil valyrians and rolled my eyes.#anyways like this idea that the valyrians are being forcibly assimilated? false! they are doing it very willingly as a matter of fact! aegon#and jaehaerys and viserys all in fact are clearly trying to mesh themselves with andals not bc they are forcing the family to assimilate#but bc they believe the only way to keep valyrian supremacy going is to team up with the culture in westeros that Does frequently impose#itself on its neighbors! i’m not saying the andals are like the ultimate big bad evil here either that’s just as stupid as the knee jerk#‘every targ is evil and anyone who fights them is morally corrupt’ thing that happens in this dumb ass fandom but i AM saying the andals cut#down every weirwood in the south & attempted to do like glorified missionary work in the iron islands instead of actually engaging w what it#is that makes the ironborn so fucking deranged.#anyways the only leaders who are unproblematic are mors and nymeria for managing to mesh two cultures in a way that wasn’t insane aksjdj#dorne has its problems re: deeply entrenched class structures & the use of marriage as punishment but at least people aren’t whipping#ellaria naked through the streets like the andals love to do to essosi women 😭😭#‘oh didn’t dorne oppress the rhoynar’ i said they were better not perfect thank you!!!!! aksjd
