#and ending up writing bad poetry or giving giant gaudy bouquets of flowers that trigger lan zhan's pollen alergy

you know, i feel that wei ying had realized his feelings for lan zhan during the sunshot campaign (in the CQL-verse). i know, i know - he’s oblivious about the ~romance~ transpiring between them, and he doesn’t seem to catch onto the depth of lan zhan’s feelings for him until 16 years later, after he comes back from the dead - but when he asked yanli about why a person would like someone so much and how ludicrous the whole thing is, and when he saw lan zhan at the mountains during the hunting contest and remembered lan xichen’s comments about the people he cares about being affected by his actions etc.... i don’t know, it seems like wei ying had a bit of an inkling to just how much he likes lan zhan. and afterwards, when he said that he wouldn’t mind being killed by lan zhan, and even later on, when they bumped into each other in yiling and later that night when wei ying was reminiscing while he was drunk -- i’m about 97% sure he wanted to ask lan zhan to stay, and in a different universe, he would’ve definitely done so. (there’s also the whole thing about proclaiming that lan zhan is his match and that they’re superspouses/soulmates/partners in crime/lifelong confidantes etc, but that deserves its own post tbh)

what i’m saying is: in a different universe, where the persecution against the Wen remnants and all the shitty politics didn’t happen, i think that wei ying would’ve courted lan zhan. he would’ve stuck by jiang cheng’s side like he promised so they could rebuild lotus pier, and with soft nudging from yanli (assuming she doesnt die in this verse lmao), wei ying would’ve definitely tried his best to woo lan zhan and court him with all the refined graces he thinks lan zhan deserves to be courted with and ask for xichen’s blessings (and lan qiren’s lmaooo) and then ask for lan zhan’s hand in marriage.

#the untamed #cql #chen qing ling #idk you dont just ask your sister about why ppl fall in love unless you're in love yourself and is petulant about it #this post is a mess but y'all. please imagine. #wei ying's flirting taking a dive once he realizes his feelings #and instead of being all ~smooth~ he becomes. incompetent. #trying to lean sexily against a bridge and falling into the water instead #or wondering what gifts to present to lan zhan to make his feelings clear #and ending up writing bad poetry or giving giant gaudy bouquets of flowers that trigger lan zhan's pollen alergy #throwing pebbles on the jingshi windows and serenading lan zhan at night #like the teenage delinquent that he is #making dozens of rabbit lanterns and trying to light them all at once and accidentally burning a portion of cloud recesses #wangxian #wei wuxian #we stan a disaster chaotic bisexual #oh and lest we forget all the pining that went on when he tried to distance himself from lan zhan by being a shithead #damn now i want to write this au
