Married hero x villain
When villain just comes to hero’s rescue right after they’ve been severely tortured by supervillain (or superhero, whichever one is fine), and hero breaks down bc they lost their wedding ring during the fight and villain is like “baby that ring is nothing compared to your own life and safety, plus I can always buy you a new one.”
“Fuck, your stats are horrible,” the villain noticed. They still stared at the calibrations their little device offered, refusing to believe that the hero was in such a bad condition and still conscious.
Then again, the hero wasn’t quite human.
“I’m so sorry,” the hero whispered. The tears wouldn’t stop and the villain’s heart splintered with every drop.
“It’s not your fault,” the villain said. They tried to be rational, to shut off their emotions and concentrate on the hero instead of their anger. The villain knew they would take care of the supervillain later and they knew it wouldn’t be pretty. Carefully, they wiped the tears and blood from the hero’s face. “You’re safe now.”
“I can’t really breathe,” the hero said.
“I know, your left lung collapsed.”
“Has that ever happened before?” the hero asked. The villain could tell they were in immense pain but refused to show it.
“Yeah, a few months ago. It wasn’t this bad, though. Now, come here.” The villain pulled up their spouse but they noticed too late the hero’s ankles were broken. The hero moaned — nearly screamed — and the villain picked them up immediately, just like on their wedding day.
The fabric of the villain’s suit twisted in the hero’s hand.
“Shit, I scanned you all over, how did I miss this…?”
“Scan probably crashed. Happened to me when I tried to scan a dead person. Too much info. They really messed me up this time,” the hero whispered. The villain felt them shake in their arms, felt blood soaking through their own suit.
“Hey, it’s okay,” the villain said. They tried not to hold their spouse too close. They didn’t want to cause any more harm.
But despite the villain’s plan, they felt their own sanity slipping away. They had to swallow a sour taste in their mouth, had to blink away tears.
The villain needed to be strong for their hero but deep down, they knew how this was breaking them. How all of this was made to break them. Stealing their spouse in the middle of the night, torturing them, hiding them, playing with them; all of it happened because the supervillain wanted to toy with them.
Panic was an old companion and the villain was sure they would meet them soon enough. And if that happened, panic would beat the living shit out of them.
“Let’s go home,” the villain said, their voice shaking.
“Honey, I need to tell you something,” the hero said and the villain held onto them a little tighter, protective and worried. Their spouse was doing pretty well for nearly dying. No doubt, their superpowers made them harder to kill, but the hero was dangerously good at pretending they were fine.
The villain risked a look down at them in their arms and there were even more tears on the hero’s cheeks.
“I’m so sorry,” they sobbed and the villain had a million horrible suspicions running through their mind. What had happened to their hero? What had they done to them? The villain was losing it, was going to murder the supervillain with their own hands. “They took my ring.”
The hero’s tears wouldn’t stop, in fact everything got worse. The villain could tell they tried to swallow their tears. But their lips trembled and their eyes were red.
“Honestly? I’m just glad you’re alright.” One crack, then two. The villain’s voice gave up and so did the villain. They let the little wall in their mind crumble completely and let emotions take over. Everything broke down and the tears followed. They held the hero close, shaking.
Likewise, the hero stopped pretending and let the tears fall.
It was a curse. Pretending to be alright, so you wouldn’t worry your significant other. The villain hadn’t planned this but they couldn’t help it. Maybe the hero was the only person they could be their rawest self with. Maybe the hero was the only person who truly, deeply knew them.
Someone who had seen all the ugly parts, all the disgusting parts, all the faults and mistakes, all the imperfections and unpleasantries. Someone who, despite all, stayed.
“Oh god, my love,” the villain sobbed between tears, “god, I thought you were gone.”
“You’re not mad?” the hero asked and the villain shook their head, lost in complete despair. They needed a second to gather themselves.
“It’s just a ring,” the villain whispered. The hero wiped tears off the villain’s cheeks and the villain had to smile softly. “Marriage is so much more than one ring. All I ask for is your safety.”
The hero leaned their head against the villain’s chest. They seemed calmer as their fingers went over the villain’s forearm.
“I can always buy you a new one,” the villain promised. “But first, we have to get out of here.”
For the next few months, the villain didn’t let the healing hero out of their sight.

They make this fandom so insufferable to be in sometimes
All these vile, nasty comments over a fun hc?? An innocent little "what if" scenario OP made?? Based on the source material of the book, too.
Also, it's hardly a character bash when OP was just stating canon facts?? The fact that these bullies took it that way speaks volumes about their own insecurities. Accusing op of being loveless as well is just an all time low.
This shit is why I left Wangxian. The fact so many jumped on this post, liked it, and all had something nasty to say just says a lot about that side of the fandom.
This is also what we mean when we call JC antis bullies. Because this person knowingly entered a JC fan's space, took screenshots of a harmless Twitter prompt and shared it in their friendship circle to shit all over their work and insult the OP personally too. Disgusting behaviour. And to think most JC antis on here and Twitter seem to condone this!
And no, I won't allow them the dignity of having their names blurred. They didn't do it to the person in the ss, so I won't do it with them 🤷♀️ We out bullies here, folks. Just don't send the people in the screenshots hate. We don't stoop to their level. We're better than them. Just block and steer clear. What a vile bunch they are.
