the wangxian + a-yuan "dads with an adopted son" thing is fine and enjoyable in fanfics honestly but I think we as a fandom are really not utilizing the idea of all of them in unconventional familial structures enough. Like, canonically it wasn't so much that wwx was a-yuan's guardian as that a-yuan was being raised collectively by the wens and wwx was adopted INTO the larger wen family. And lwj got attached to him through that. A-yuan just has these very attached weird uncles/older cousin figures that aren't related to him by blood at all but keep sticking around.
Just think of a modern AU with a lot less death where lwj does as he does in canon and keeps showering a-yuan in gifts as much as he can and when wwx is like "aiyah lan zhan you're gonna spoil him. Not everyone is as rich as you! What's his family supposed to say if they can't buy him all the stuff you do?" lwj just goes "Hm". And from then on out every year once a-yuan's birthday is near the extended Wen family members (well. the ones that are invited that is. No one wants wen chao at a birthday party) wakes up to a wechat payment from lwj.
Random wen cousin number 6 texts granny like
cousin 6: i just got 400 yuan????
granny: oh that's just wangji
cousin 6: i've never met this guy in my life???
granny: he wants you to buy a-yuan a nice birthday present!
cousin 6: how does he know my bank account???

I for the life of me cannot find my og post but I shall take the concept and what I remember from it and make this one. So, snippets from that one au inspired by the Kwami from Miraculous Ladybug.
For context, Danny and Vlad are trapped in a necklace and bracelet (iirc) and are both just miniature versions of themselves, an eastern dragon and phoenix respectively.
===
Vlad, standing on Lex Luthor's desk with his head raised and a haughty look in his eyes: If you, a mere human, wishes to use my power, you will have to prove yourself worthy of the barest dregs of its embers-
Lex Luthor: No.
Lex Luthor taps his bracelet and Vlad gets sucked back in, finally leaving Lex's office blissfully silent.
Meanwhile, in another city:
Danny, currently flying near Tim's head as he takes up a camera: Hey, hey kid. Wanna use my power?
Tim, currently checking over his camera: Would it help me keep up with Batman and Robin more easily?
Danny, blinking as he questions what the hell is a Batman and Robin in this context: Yes...?
Tim: Deal.
Danny, blinking once again as he thought 'Huh, well that was easy'.
===
Lex Luthor, currently in an elevator minding his own business on his way to a shareholder meeting:
Vlad: Luthor.
Lex Luthor: What is it now.
Vlad: We need to go somewhere.
Lex Luthor, raises eyebrow: And that somewhere is?
Vlad: No time to explain but we need to go.
Lex Luthor, questioning how he ended up in this situation: You are aware I have an important shareholder meeting, yes?
Vlad: I know, and I don't care, you can always reschedule those things, but this is more important than that.
Lex Luthor: What could possibly be more important in your eyes?
Vlad, voice barely above a whisper: The Packers.
Lex Luthor:
Lex Luthor: No.
Vlad: You will not deny me this, I have been deprived of them for hundreds of years and I will not be denied the chance to watch them once again.
Lex Luthor: You say hundreds as they haven't been around for a century.
Vlad: Interdimensional time hijinks, not something someone like you would understand but that is besides the point. You will take me to the Packers game currently happening right this instant.
Lex Luthor, fixing his tie: I certainly have no incentive to do so.
Vlad: I will give you a portion of my power if you take me.
Lex Luthor:
Vlad:
Elevator:
Lex Luthor: Truly, a tempting offer-
Elevator: Opens
Lex Luthor, walking through the doors while tapping on his bracelet: -But no.
Meanwhile, in another city:
Danny: Kid, boy, child.
Tim: My name is Tim.
Danny: Right, yea, Tim, Tim, Tim, Tim.
Tim, currently standing on the counter as he looked through the cupboard: Yea?
Danny: I saw an observatory while you were out looking for those Batman and Robin dudes.
Tim, taking out some ingredients and checking to see if they're still good: Go on.
Danny: Take me.
Tim: Sure.
Danny, flying loops in the air: Yes!
Tim: But after I finish cooking.
Danny:
Danny: Can't you just buy something on the way?
Tim: Yea but if I do these will go bad.
Danny: Fair.
