The Architecture of Heartbreaks
by tigersugargirl
T, WIP, 5k, Wangxian
Summary: In the span of days, the foundations of Wei Wuxian's bright, idyllic life crumbles : His aunt discovers that he's dating a boy and disowns him for shaming the conservative Jiang family, and he finds out that Lan Wangji, the guy he's dating, has only been dating him as part of a bet.
Left adrift, Wei Wuxian nevertheless tries to slowly rebuild his life, with the help of his friends and the kindly Uncle who shares his love for historical buildings. It's nothing grand, but he thinks he's on his way to building a small, warm home for himself in the world.
But when Lan Wangji is finally forced to face his feelings for Wei Wuxian and comes knocking on that painstakingly built home, will Wei Wuxian let him back in?
Kay's comments: This story hasn't been updated in a hot minute, but it shouldn't deter you from reading it. I already love the story it tells. In which, Wei Wuxian's life falls apart in one day. He gets kicked out by Madam Yu after it came out that he dated Lan Zhan and it's also revealed that Lan Zhan apparently only dated him as part of a bet. However, there are still people who have Wei Wuxian's back. Chief among them He Su (and I love, love, love it when he appears in stories, he's a chronically forgotten character) and Lan Qiren (who doesn't know that the guy who broke Wei Wuxian's heart is his nephew rip).
Excerpt: And three months ago, Lan Wangji told him he loved him, and Wei Wuxian had thought that like that, his life was just perfect.
Now, three months later, Wei Wuxian is chased out of his own home - Someone had seen him with Lan Zhan and told Madam Yu, and he is given barely an hour to pack his things. A bad influence, she screams. An immoral wretch like you, just like your mother.
Now, three months later, Wei Wuxian stands in the middle of a room of laughing, drunken people as Meng Yao calmly, almost sweetly, congratulates a drunken Lan Zhan for upholding the end of his bet for three months : Dating the campus flirt Wei Wuxian.
Now, three months later, the foundations of Wei Wuxian's life cracks and crumbles - spider-like cracks creeping through the walls of his heart, shattering his windows and buckling his columns.
He runs past laughing, jeering people, through the open doors, and doesn't look back.

Crossover - MDZS + Twisted Wonderland
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5
Twisted Wonderland Part 2:
Backstory: the MDZS cast was transported to the twisted wonderland world by a talisman or from a gathering nighthunag or with an ancient artifact. Though, when they get back it’s where they started so it’s a pause on their world. This will be taken place after all the overblogs actually. ENJOY!~~
Heartslaybel Dorm:
Riddle:
He ain’t R E A D Y
He facing nobility with powerful mana- wait. Spiritual power.
Able to defeat high grade monsters and all that jazz on fierce corpse.
Lmao!
He will find some solace with Jiang Cheng and Lan Wangji
Strict mama? Angry mommy? Comparing and toxic standards on childhood?
Angry grape uncle (Jiang Cheng) got chu covered angry strawberry
They will vibe and Jiang Cheng will see HIMSELF in him
Both are angry and will lock magic or break legs on anyone when forced to
Lan Wangji is calming
Both are rule followers
Well…Wangji mostly when it’s rules cause Wei Wuxian be getting his sugar dadd—
He will seek advice from Lan Xichen and will most likely be raised by Lan Qiren
The Junior quarters will remind him of the first years
He and Jin Ling with Sizhui will click
Jin Ling as both had threatening guardians (Jiang Cheng was only threatening verbally but they both know he is a huge softie for his nephew)
Sizhui as he is a role model for Riddle
Reminds him of Trey lmao—!
Jingyi and Jin Ling can be similar to the adeuce duo so Riddle will have a tantrum at that
He be seeking Lan Xichen for music to soothe his poor UNFORTUNATE souls
Will be curious of their cultures and learn a few tricks and tips
Immediately adopted by Wei Wuxian
No question asked
Cause Wei Wuxian thrives on teaching the younger generation
I mean— look at how many disciples followed him during the first arc and at the Yiling City
Riddle will remind Wei Wuxian of Peacock low key but he acts more like his martial nephew Jin Ling
Riddle will have uncle figures go BRRRRRR
Riddle will be a bit concerned on the huge PDA displayed by the couple (Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji)
He be alright
Hopefully those two won’t do papapa on the school property—
Lots of good role models and will not survive Wei Wuxian spicy foods
May the lord pray that Trey use his special magic to change the hot flavors
Will be aghast on how Lan Wangji eats Wei Wuxian food no question am and a stoic face at that
Jingyi: first time?
Riddle: *dying from the hotness*
This angry strawberry is in for a RIDE!
Trey:
Haha..
Ha…
…
Wei Wuxian cooking: *existed*
Trey: *internally dying*
He is gonna be using his special magic a lot on Wei Wuxian cooking so the students can not suffer
Like Riddle and Ace are dying on the sidelines with the Junior quartet and deuce patting their backs with concerned and neutral faces
Trey will click with Lan Xichen as both knows what it’s like to mediate and deal with arguments
Wei Wuxian adopted Trey
Wei Wuxian gonna adopted the rest of the twst cast no questions asked
Adoption paper go BRRRRRRRR
Trey is quite fine with the rest but Nie Huasiang be sus
Nie Huasiang gives the same vibe of Idia and Jade aura at the same time
Trey will be alright with Lan Qiren as he is similar to Professor Trein and Professor Crewel on a way
Will suffer the shamelessness of Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji love for each other
Ouyang Zizhen: first time?
Trey: …
Trey be alright with most, though be concerned with others
RIP kitchen
Cater:
Nie Huasiang and cater will click automatically
Aesthetic? Yes. Appreciating anything trendy? Yes.
Both be gossiping lmao
Cater will definitely Magicam a the chaos that will happen
Likes go BRRRRRRRR
Wei Wuxian shenanigans will most likely be joined with Cater
Cater only their for the context
He is immediately adopted
Ouyang and Cater will be partners cause y’know
Cater will likely record and make a compilation every time Jingyi calls Jin Ling “yOuNg MiStReSs!!”
Poor Jin Ling—
Absolutely intrigue by the spells of the lans and complicated arrays of the Jins
Will most likely be there for every night hunt for the views
He pretty chill with them all
Definitely gets seen through on his problems
He will definitely be like Lan Xichen on supporting the Wangxian couple after hearing their hardships and all
Cater definitely enjoying the ride!
Ace:
HAH! Troublemaker meets master troublemaker?
Chaos ensues.
Meets Jingyi?
Best pals for life!
Definitely teases Jin Ling with Jingyi and clicks with Wei Wuxian
He idolizes Wei Wuxian. Literally.
Will gag at the pda of the wangxian couple
Despises Lan Qiren cause of rules and why so many rules?!
Ace: wait. So you’re telling me. You have 4000+ RULES?!
Jingyi: Yep! And still counting. Wei Wuxian-qianbei (qianbei= senior) is still finding loopholes and all! He even made a book on how to beat the system!!
Ace: *immediately respect Wei Wuxian on a whole notha level*
Ace will get silencing spells and discipline by Lan Wangji 2 or 1 time a day
Sulky and Riddles appreciates Lan Wangji even more
Definitely causes mayhem and scolded
Was terrified when meeting with Jiang Cheng
Zidian literally used when a bunch of bullies was targeting Yuu cause of grim.
The first years and Junior quartet about to throw hands. But a huge whip sliced down.
It’s strike crackle and zipping lightings as the rest of the spectators looked wide eye at a tall sneering man.
His purple fine silk robes and dark aura cackle, as if bearing its fangs to those to bow.
Zidian whip was slithering as Sandu Shengshu was prowling towards the rowdy 2nd year NRC delinquent with a terrifying scowl
Ace had never been terrified before as he did right now.
After that, no one dared to approach until once or twice that Wei Wuxian with his demonic cultivation powers, Wen Ning Ghost general, Lan Wangji guqin and sword skill, and Lan Xichen terrifying smile scared off there troublemakers
Ace now knows not to piss these war veterans off
He still scared of Jiang Cheng but lower down a bit when he knows Jiang Cheng protected him from a monster
All in all, he vibing and enjoying these new people appearance
Will hear the war stories and all the adventures
Deuce:
This sweet child gonna idolize Wei Wuxian and be adopted quick!
He will idolize Lan Xichen for his mannerism and Jiang Cheng for his bada$$ moves
Definitely will know about the chicken story and stay clear of handing chickens to anyone
Will definitely be interested in any night hunt stories
He will sympathize with Jin Ling as both of them are teased.
They be clicking
He will be helping Ace on Wei Wuxian spicy cooking while Sizhui brings sweet milk for everyone
Definitely looks to Lan Xichen advices and learn moves with Lan Wangji
He will be teased by Wei Wuxian in good spirit
Definitely empathizes with Wen Ning
Both be isolated and with bad backstory or history
Both are babies, fight me!
Will blush on the pda displayed cause he is an innocent boi on love
Lan Qiren is intimidating to Deuce, but will learn of Lan Qiren softness later on
This boy will definitely wanna try to ride the flying spiritual swords but is too neevous to ask
Jin Ling takes him on the ride
He enjoys the feeling and will ask lots of questions about it to Lan Wangji who simply replies with patience with bunnies around
Will definitely believe anything Wei Wuxian says which Lan Wangji gently and lovingly stops Wei Wuxian from doing
He gonna be having lots more role models now!
————————————————
