400 words on a’yuan’s first time cursing in front of his dad

.🤬.

Lan Yuan freezes. He feels the hair on his arms prickle, rising on end. He’s standing on one foot, holding the smallest toe of his other tightly in his fist. It hurts. Even with his whole body frozen stiff, it hurts. A sharp throb that had ricocheted up to his knee and back down to his toenail, but had somehow come out through his mouth.

He turns slowly, his own words ringing loudly in his ears.

Hanguang Jun looks similarly frozen in place. Shocked still like the rabbits in the meadow when Jingyi forgets not to shout.

“Where did you learn that phrase, A’Yuan?” he asks, voice low and gentle.

Lan Yuan looks down at the leg of the table. It appears entirely unconcerned with the drama it has caused. Not even a scuff mark for his trouble.

He looks back up to the man he privately considers to be his father. The man who has been with him for the past four years. The man he’d do anything not to disappoint.

Hanguang Jun doesn’t look mad, though Lan Yuan gets the feeling that anger might just slide off his face, unable to stick, like ink on waxed paper.

“I don’t know,” Lan Yuan answers honestly. In his mind the cadence is rough like untilled soil and the words are the color of fresh cinnabar. But he doesn’t know why. There isn’t a memory to call up so much as an emotion, an instinctual vocal response to pain. “I think I heard it somewhere.”

It’s unlikely he heard the phrase in the Cloud Recesses. Profanity is forbidden. But it doesn’t sound like it would fit into the tongue-tripping Gusu dialect he hears on their day trips down to the Caiyi markets either.

Hanguang Jun still hasn’t moved. His posture is rigid and strange. His eyes are aimed toward Lan Yuan, but they’re not looking at him. Not seeing him. Hazy and far away and… wet?

A small smile lifts the corner of Hanguang Jun’s mouth. He hums.

Then his eyes seem to focus back on Lan Yuan. He says, soft but stern, “Profanity is forbidden. You will copy Conduct.”

Lan Yuan drops his foot to the floor, the pain already forgotten, and bows his apology.

When he rises, the smile is still there.

Then Hanguang Jun adds, “On your hands,” and Lan Yuan fights not to say the phrase again.

#i didn’t have to research anything for this one! #i did for the next one though…. :) #4x drabble #quadruple drabble #i cannot write 100 words apparently #wife prompt no. 2 #my writing #lan yuan #lan sizhui #lan wangji #wangxian fam #that feel when you accidentally curse in front of your father figure and he gets weirdly nostalgic about it #you all know the one

i know its probably been pointed out many times already but WangXian as Hozier’s Too Sweet is making me feral this morning

for all the obvious reasons of course but specifically “if you can sit in a barrel, maybe i’ll wait” for the 13 years lan zhan “sat in a barrel” aging like fine emperor’s smile wine and by the time wei ying came back he was indulging his shenanigans, teasing him back, breaking rules, and basically wei ying didn’t stand a chance not falling for him after that like!!!!!!

#im losing my mind in love with them and this song #wangxian #mdzs #grandmaster of demonic cultivation #the untamed #wei wuxian #lan zhan #help me out fam are we tagging lan zhan as ‘lan zhan’ or ‘lan wangji’???

More Wangxian Faves: Post-Canon & Canon Divergent

This list was made to honor the request in the notes on my WWX recs post from @100percentserenity for some more fics featuring Wei Ying set in canon or canon divergent fics. Now, not all of these are strictly from his POV, but they all feature him at his quick-witted, charming, & hopelessly oblivious best. Canon divergent can be a pretty wide category, so do keep that in mind if you see a rec & think, "This isn't very canonical.." Haha. There are two repeats from my first Wangxian rec list, but they fit the ask & are both excellent & worth mentioning twice! Now, in no particular order, may I recommend:

Far Away You Are by cqlorphan (E, 17,358)

Thoughts: I absolutely loved the idea of the esteemed Hanguan-jun being this not-so-secret purveyor of comfort hugs & heartache advice. Wei Ying’s shock upon finding this out was so funny I couldn’t help but laugh, & my amusement only intensified when he made the scary Yiling Laozu face while asking who broke Lan Zhan’s heart, only to be told it was him who’d done so. I wanted to hug all the Juniors myself. They’re all so very precious. This was a lovely story where very little hurt in the end, & sometimes that’s just nice after the gut punch that canon gives us.

my age has never made me wise by idrilka (E, 63,439)

Thoughts: I absolutely loved this. It was pretty CQL (The Untamed) compliant & told the post-canon story of Wei Ying wandering alone as a rogue cultivator after the events of the show. Of course he was pining after his zhiji the entire time, so when he heard gossip that the Chief Cultivator might be married by summer's end it nearly undid him. The angst was excruciating, but One Brain Cell WWX Strikes Again fics somehow always manage to be fun at the same time. I've read several post-canon, wandering Wei Ying stories, & this one was particularly good.

Not What We May Be by brooklinegirl (E, 29,222)

Thoughts: I love Wei Ying’s cleverness in this. He’s his usual irreverent, chaotic, charming self, & I never get tired of how wonderfully his mind works. The odd phenomenon occurring in the town he’s staying in was an interesting mystery to solve, & I had to laugh when Lan Zhan arrived with the usual Lan Juniors ensemble in tow. Watching them all work together to figure out how to fix the issue while also dealing with the healthy side helping of oblivious Wei Ying & searing sexual tension between him & Lan Zhan was a fun treat.

All Caught Up by brooklinegirl (E, 36,934)

Thoughts: Wei Ying proposing to Lan Zhan to get him out of an arranged marriage he didn’t want is so something he’d do. There is no character more quintessentially chaotic good than Wei Ying. You can’t change my mind. The practice kissing was a lovely regular feature from this author, & my particular favorite thing in this fic was Nie Huaisang’s cameo as their pseudo wedding planner with his classic meddling while insisting he’s useless shenanigans. This was super cute. I liked it a lot.

love, in fire and blood by cicer (E, 360,042)

Thoughts: This was an example of a cool MDZS-specific trope I hadn't seen before, & in it Wei Ying, the infamous Yiling Patriarch, was a cultivator who had achieved immortality (aka, he's OP as fuck but in a fun way). The great sects enlisted his help to win the Sunshot Campaign, & what did he demand in return? Lan Zhan's hand in marriage, of course! It was a fantastic slow burn in which poor Lan Zhan suffered the mortifying ordeal of falling in love with his own husband. An amazing & complex plot, chock-full of angsty goodness.

Birthday Party by waffles_4_breakfast (E, 100,123)

Thoughts: I loved the idea that Wei Ying would actually get to attend Jin Ling's one month celebration, but I was, of course, still concerned about the continued danger he'd be in. This fic nicely showcased Wei Ying's sharp wit, charm, & ever-present sass. I also loved his dramatics when it came to his interactions with Lan Zhan (and in general, of course, haha), but their sweetness together was ultimately my favorite thing about them. The continued threat to Wei Ying's life & all the plotting surrounding it was interesting, but the best things about this fic were the characters & their bonds with each other.

Fentao-laoshi's Guide to Cut-Sleeve Pleasures by occultings (E, 31,775)

Thoughts: This was set during the Cloud Recesses Study Arc, & it was so, so good. The sexual tension between them was just simmering the entire time, & the idea of them “practicing for marriage” on each other was fucking hilarious. Their banter was top notch, & I absolutely loved Lan Zhan’s nearly overwhelming desperation for Wei Ying, not to mention Wei Ying’s bullshit getting him in over his head (as usual, but this time in a fun way, haha). The feelings were actually very sweet, too. I enjoyed this a lot.

wide enough and wild by impossibletruths (E, 64,120)

Thoughts: I love the tag “Noping Out Of Society With Your Boyfriend And Your 50 Wen Refugees: The Novel”. It made me laugh before I’d even started the fic. While this was set during the time period in which Wei Ying frees the Wen refugees, they didn’t end up in Yiling this time. I won’t get too specific, but they still ended up rebuilding their own little settlement & farming to survive, basically. Lan Zhan found them & decided to stay. The slow burn was so good, & I loved the pining in particular. I cried a couple of times in this. It really was just that good.

your problem as a mountain. by cupofwater (E, 30,989)

Thoughts: It was so cute to see the difference between Wei Ying’s & Nie Huaisang’s fantasies, & Wei Ying’s turning out to be more vanilla & romantic in nature absolutely cracked me up. I nearly hurt myself laughing when Nie Mingjue sent Lan Zhan some of the letters by mistake, & I was delighted by Lan Zhan’s reaction. I won’t spoil it, but the smut was lovely & despite the misunderstanding our boys definitely both got their happy ending, haha.

The Vermilion Ribbon by Unforth (E, 233,368)

Thoughts: This sat on my Marked For Later list on AO3 for the longest time, & I really did myself a disservice by not reading it sooner. It was absolutely fantastic. The world-building, pacing, & intricate plot were all brilliantly done, & Wei Ying being in the Wen clan was nothing like I imagined it was going to be in this. Instead of his core family being the Jiangs, we get Wen Qing in Jiang Yanli’s role & Wen Ning in Jiang Cheng’s. Now I’ll warn you that this got super heavy in some places, so mind those tags & take care of yourselves. Nothing was graphic enough that I had to stop reading, but it didn’t shy away from the serious subject matter it covered either. The whole fic was a real emotional roller coaster, & I can’t recommend it highly enough.

#WOT cast is unfairly hot according to viewers of all ages and sexualities #we were at my cousins' house yesterday and WOT came up bc my fam was saying we were currently watching it #and my uncle and cousin said they'd read a few of the books (but couldn't get thru them djkfg) so they knew the main characters #and my mom immediately started gushing about how much she loves lan LMAO she's obsessed #wot

[theinkgirl]

my sister was talking about wizard ghost book with me, and was like ‘I know there’s like 7 gay tragedies, but the most canon ones, the nice ones, (she was meaning wangxian and songxiao) both have the surviving person in the couple become the caretaker for the other one’s kid. And I really like that’

And she’s right. It’s a parallel I hadn’t noticed. You can’t not pay attention to LWJ raising WWX’s child while he’s dead. But Song Lan doesn’t just take the shattered fragments of his partner’s soul. He’s given (as if it’s the most natural thing to do) the shattered fragments of his partner’s kid’s soul too. And his stated goal is to safeguard both of them, take care of both of them, figure out a way to repair both of them get both of them back. He doesn’t have any promise he’s getting either of them; but he takes them both. He knew A-Qing for like 4 minutes before death, but that’s his kid now too.

I don’t know where I was going with this, I just saw that official art with Song Lan and the shadows of XXC and A-Qing and started typing at light speed

I saw a couple comments that the scenes with Alanna's family felt like filler until you realize they were investigating Lan, and I 100% went.

Must things "happen" in a show? Is it not enough for there to be beautiful people?

#WoT #Wheel of Time #this is half humorous in that: they were unironically some of my favorite scenes I just loved hanging out with Alanna's fam #didn't notice at all the plot wasn't moving. #Plot? Who is she? I'm watching my beautiful polyamorous friends :) #on the other hand I also do actually appreciate them for character building #cause yeah those scenes DO set up plot points later on (Alanna and friends join the Rand Band!) #but it is also character building time y'know? #you gotta sit a bit with Lan in his post-Moiraine funk #or their reunion won't hit half as hard #and you also gotta take the time to establish the character dynamics of the OT3

thinking about mdzs parents in modern houses

the jin would definitely be that couple who have this big ass massion, with a gigantic master bedroom, but each would have their own separate walk-in closet and bathroom, and a bed big enough to never touch each other while sleeping, their only son's bedroom on the other side of the house, away from them

the jiang would sleep in different bedrooms, children close to them and only 1 guest bedroom because they're not obligated to welcome people to sleep in the same house

nie a-die would, absolutely, make a custom extra big bed so he can sleep with his beloved wives, the children somewhat way from their bedroom because it's convenient for their night life, they also have this gigantic tub on their suite so the three can use it at the same time

the lan.... would probably sleep in the same bedroom, but in different beds, like those 60's couples, children close to them so they can keep an eye

the wei would have this little two bed one bath cottage 1h from the city where they grow their own vegetables and probably have a goat, they probably have a spreadsheet/blackboard somewhere in the house about the time each can use the bathroom and for how long; would they have solar panels? 🤔

and their children would probably live in the same area/neighborhood/building, with different consistency levels of visiting their parents

#wei family definitely have a suitcase closet #wei “the poor kid in class” wuxian who traveled to more countries than any of his rich classmates #jzx don't actually visit his parents #only when obligated #and his mom visits him sometimes #jiang sibs definitely avoid their parents while pretending they don't #nie sibs would look in horror when asked of their visit their parents #they have war flashbacks #lan sibs would have weekly lunch or dinner with parents #wei fam would see each other sporadically and spontaneously #wei parents travel a lot #mdzs #mo dao zu shi #mdzs imagine #mdzs headcanons #yunmeng jiang #qinghe nie #lanling jin #gusu lan #bnnywngs writing #wen qing & wen ning grows up in a little hamlet made of her family #probably near wei fam

Qi Heng vowing to kill himself for Minglan and then literally not doing that but agreeing to marry someone else the very next moment is so typical of his type (romantic idealist who has never truly struggled or schemed a day in his life). Also Gu Tingye presenting him with several ways to get out of it (and even offering to do the dirty work himself) and that scaredy cat still backs out 😤

#get you a man who would kidnap someone for you #or actually for your LAME ASS BOYFRIEND so that he can keep his SOLEMN VOWS to you and not ruin your marital prospects forever #meanwhile gu tingye has already broken with his fam for his random outside mistress #the story of ming lan

the lao shu family is honestly my favourite because they are so disruptive to others and each other and with the exception of yuans nature and lees actions in yangs route i just love their dynamics. i love how yang truly loves the twins as it shows a lot of times (yang cooked for them in the past. yang saved them. yang trusting the twins. yang closing their eyes as salvation in the tragic end. yang teaching the twins how to fight). lee is actually a nagging housewife but hes loyal to yang and does care abt the twins in his own way. rui is so relaxed and hes like this chill big brother whos also loyal to yang in yangs route and a lil troublemaker to match the twins. yuan is a dick but hes the most loved villain in this sequel lmao

also adult fei 👁👄👁 piofiore 3rd game where its 10 years later and he falls for the next key maiden. he has tht siscon going on but thats surprisingly his sweet side to balance out his ruthless nature thanks to papa yang (aka 1st commander nw knowing him) lan and fei being the 6th comnanders and fei going thru the pain n struggle of what yang went thru to get lili

#adult fei in general....rawr #adult lan is so PRETTY thats a pretty lady right there #lmaooo lee being bullied by rui its so cute #love tht yuan still protects yang in the alt route. i knw he has his selfish intentions bt coming from yuan its cute hehe #lao shu fam my beloved. they will protect lili #fafar plays piofiore 1926

In all honesty, Zewu-jun has been in seclusion for so long now... Isn't it straining for the GusuLan Sect to face everyone without their rightful sect leader? Hmph. What even happened to the GusuLan Sect? A fall from grace?

talk shit meme.

IT DOESN'T BRING much of a frown to his expression, but the dull ache is nearly palpable as eyes narrow — he's not one to hold responsible for the actions of this sect, his sect now, but it pains him, the rawness of the nightmares that haunt his brother-in-law. Whenever Wei Wuxian goes to see him, with Lan Wangji or on his own accord, he is met with that gaze, the hollow gaze of a man who's lost too much, always questioning, pleading to know why, as if he could find the answer somehow, bring another miracle to life. It's not a wound that could heal easily, nor one that wouldn't leave a lasting scar. ❝ I believe it's a Gusu Lan sect private matter, ❞ he manages a barren smile and a burning glare — a wild creature not yet tamed by the restrictions forever foreign to him, but he's been trying his best to keep up the appearances. A leaderless sect that stained its reputation enough with a rather unconventional marriage puts itself in a vulnerable position. A fall from grace is an understatement, even he wouldn't dare argue with that – but Lan Zhan would, of course he would, as acting sect leader and a husband striving to defend his own. And Wei Wuxian is his, at war with the world or trying to save it one more time — will never aspire to be anything but his, a weary guardian of this shallow tranquility that brought some light to his endless exhaustion. ❝ Zewu-jun's seclusion should not be discussed with outsiders. Or perhaps you are discontented with Hanguang-jun's current policy? ❞ at this, nails don't yet dig into his skin but a fist is clenched, the mere thought of it unbearable – for he, too, would stop at nothing to protect what he calls family.

#anon. #wwx said i had like 2 conversations w this man but he's fam so fuck u #if u talk shit about any lan u'll be dealing with a wild wwx
