#(since the entire revenge mission purpose of xianshe doesn't seem like it'd necessarily call for anything long term

[presumenothing]

post canon crack scenario where wei wuxian's soul just..... y'know........ sometimes forgets to stay in mo xuanyu's body. it never lasts long and doesn't really happen that often but oh boy did lan wangji freak the hell out the first time it did

#wwx doesn't freak out on account of this not being the weirdest thing to have happened to him and also he knows he's not dead obvs #(he's something of a subject expert of the matter) #hey on the bright side he can answer inquiry for once #(this is not a bright side it's just a theoretically interesting thing to focus on so nobody (lwj) freaks out) #it's not like anyone's documented the long term effects and stability of the xianshe ritual!! how was he supposed to know!! says wwx #this is not reassuring in the least says lwj #mdzs #ramble tag #yes this is the THIRD time i have brought up the idea of accidental ghost mode in as many fandoms #i'm physically obliged to mention it whenever at all possible that's just how it is #(though this particular iteration branched off a much angstier thought about mxy's body potentially failing after enough time has passed) #(since the entire revenge mission purpose of xianshe doesn't seem like it'd necessarily call for anything long term?? sooooo)
