happy international hot and spicy food day to wei wuxian

(Image Description: The cover art for the extra episode Glutinous Rice Congee from the Chinese MDZS audio drama drawn in a cute simplistic comic style. There are two rows of tables with characters sat at it with Wei Wuxian in the bottom left hand corner. The character in the back row to the left is Lan Qiren. He is red in the face covering his mouth with red liquid around his fingers and his hand is slamming against the table holding a sign that reads zero in Hanzi (零). Lan Wangji is next to him in the back row in the middle. He is sipping on a bowl with a small amount of red liquid dripping over the top of the bowl, his eats are red and a bead of sweat is on his right cheek. He is gripping a sign that has the Hanzi for ten (拾). In the table in front of him has a plack with his name written on it like he's a judge in a contest. Next to him in the back row on the right end of the table is Jiang Cheng. He is looking at Lan Wangji to his left with a look of disbelief and much judgement (typical jc behaviour). He's holding a sign that says the Hanzi for the number three (叁). In the front row to the left is Lan Jingyi. His tongue is out and he is red in the face and on his ears. He is looking very worriedly at Lan Qiren. On the table in front of him is a bowl of red glutinous rice congee with a soup in the bowl and a little of the liquid has spilled onto the table. He has a name plack in front of him too and he's holding a sign that has the number one in Hanzi (壹) on it. Lan Sizhui is sat next to him in the front row to the right. He has a slight blush on his cheeks and ears. His mouth is open in an O shape and he's looking at Lan Qiren. On the table in front of him is a bowl of the glutinous rice congee and he has a name plack. He's holding a sign in his left hand with the number eight in Hanzi (捌) on it. Wei Wuxian is in the bottom left hand corner smiling with his eyes closed holding a big steaming pot of glutinous rice congee with cloth to act as oven gloves. Rising from the pot is a mist of red and little stars. He has a slight blush to his cheeks and he's wearing a pink-ish white bandana on his head. There is a little heart to the right of him <3)

Hope your day gets better, Stilton! Could you tell me how a Nielan LOTR AU with elf Xichen and human king/dwarf Mingjue would play out?

From the day the young elf-prince of Gusu first visited the Unclean Realm, its people noticed that he was fonder of dwarven craft than the rest of his kin.

Humans came to the Nie for armor, and elves—excluding the Jiang, who needed weapons of dwarvish make to do battle with the sea-serpents that ran wild in their territory—would come for jewellery; but since Nie Zhuxi first laid eyes on Lan Xichen fifteen years ago, every last one of his ornaments and weapons had been made by some talented dwarvish smith whose identity no one knew.

"He is older than the oldest of our grandfathers," Nie Zhuxi's mother reminded him, when he asked her why no dwarf knew the name of the smith who had forged Lan Xichen's beautiful greaves. "And our kin outside the Bujingshi are solitary folk. Perhaps he knows some aged master who settled near the elf-palace where he lives."

But Nie Zhuxi did not quite believe her. Lan Xichen visited the Bujingshi at least twice a year at the midsummer and midwinter festivals, and at each visit he came with new daggers at his belt and new bracelets at his wrists, the like of which no smith of men or elves—or even an elderly dwarf, whose work would eventually begin to show the signs of his age—could possibly have made.

However, the dwarves of the Unclean Realm did not see fit to question him. He bought many of their wares at market, and he was a kind and generous customer—for elves knew nothing of bargaining, especially the ones with noble blood—but nobody seemed to notice that the things he purchased within the Bujingshi were never seen again. He did not wear the trinkets, or keep the weapons on his person, which meant that he was probably giving them away to his beloved ones; and by the time Nie Zhuxi came of age, he had concluded that all of Lan Xichen's dwarf-made belongings came from a single hand.

That changed everything, he realized. Lan Xichen had not bought his leaf-shaped arrowheads, or the topaz buttons on his hunting boots. Someone had made them for him, so that every brooch he wore on his breast and each knife-handle at his girdle brought forth the full force of his beauty the way a masterful setting might compliment the radiance of a diamond.

Nie Zhuxi is a handsome dwarf himself, but he would look like a fool if he tried to wear even the plainest of Lan Xichen's jewels: for they were a lover's gifts, showered upon the elf-prince through the years until he was practically swimming in his beloved's tokens of affection.

"You could ask my Bofu," Nie Shiyong says skeptically. "He's Zewu-jun's closest friend, so perhaps he would know who the lover is. If there's a lover at all, which I doubt—"

"What doubt is there?" Nie Zhuxi complains. "He never wears anything he buys here, and even the Jiang don't commission such delicate weaponry, so he can't have bought it through their suppliers in the South. He has to have a dwarf lover, A-Yong—there's no point bothering the king about it."

His cousin pinches his cheeks. "Why? Are you afraid of him?"

"Afraid of Chifeng-zun?" Nie Zhuxi scoffs. "He used to ask Zewu-jun to bring us elf-made sweetmeats from the Cloud Recesses when we were little."

"Even so, he might not take kindly to you prying into his friend's affairs."

"They're not affairs!" Nie Zhuxi jumps out of his chair and stomps around the room. "Elves can't have affairs. They have one partner, for life. Don't you remember what happened to that elf-maid from Baling who took a human lover?"

Nie Shiyong goes pale at the mere mention of it. For some time, about three years ago, Chifeng-zun had feared that the elves of Baling and Yunmeng would go to war against the mortal kingdom near their territory; for one of their daughters had been abandoned by a mortal nobleman after she conceived his child, and the elf-maiden died of grief not long after her baby was born.

"To elves, to lie with someone is to marry them," Nie Zhuxi says grimly. "By elvish law, the child's father was the mother's husband—the maiden was too young and innocent to know that the ways of men were different, or that a human could lay hands on her without loving her more than life. So whoever Zewu-jun's beloved might be, the two of them must be true spouses by now and not only sweethearts."

"It's no wonder that the smith's works have never been seen elsewhere, then," Nie Shiyong muses. "He might be anyone—anyone at all, and any one of us might own a thing of his make. If Zewu-jun were his husband—or her husband—then the smith would surely save their most beautiful creations for him."

She pauses for a moment, deep in thought, and then:

"He must be married to someone living here, in the Unclean Realm," she breathes. "Why else would he keep visiting?"

Nie Zhuxi springs to his feet. "I'm going to make a list of all his friends," he announces. "Most of our seniors from His Majesty's generation are close to him. If we watch closely, we'll be able to find out who it is."

But their efforts come to nothing, even after Lan Xichen arrives for the mid-summer holiday with a wagon full of gifts for the small Nie dwarflings. In keeping with his usual habits, he spends most of his time with Prince Huaisang and Zhuxi's Uncle Zonghui, and the rest with Chifeng-zun in the wing of the palace reserved for the king's immediate family; and the day passes without any opportunity to question him by the time Nie Shiyong and Nie Zhuxi drag themselves down to dinner.

"At this rate, we'll never find out," Nie Zhuxi says disconsolately. "Pass the fish, A-Yong. Uncle Zonghui won't let me have more wine, so I'll have to drown my sorrows in food."

But to his surprise, the fish does not appear; and when Nie Zhuxi looks up, he finds his cousin staring at the king, whose gaze had not moved away from Lan Xichen for the last fifteen minutes.

"Oh," Nie Shiyong gasps, her voice breaking. "Oh, that's how it is."

"How what is?"

"Have you ever seen anything my uncle crafted?" she demands. "Because I never have. He insists that he has no time to visit the forges, and he's too busy to have supper with us, most days—and yet, whenever Zewu-jun visits, Bofu takes him to the library and talks with him for hours on end."

She squints back and forth between the two, biting her lip in concentration. "We were half right," she says at last, before reaching over to steal some of Nie Zhuxi's fish. "Bofu is in love with Zewu-jun, and he has already decided that he will have no other; but he is afraid of confessing his feelings, so..."

"So?" Nie Zhuxi urges. "Why is he afraid?"

"Because of the story of Lan An, the first elf-lord of Gusu," Nie Shiyong whispers. "There is a trace of human blood in Zewu-jun's clan, because Lan An fell in love with a daughter of men and built the Cloud Recesses for her. But he wasted away after his wife died, for he could not bear to live without her; it often happens thus with elves who are bereaved. If Uncle were to marry Lan Xichen, his death might well be the end of them both."

A-Yong and Nie Zhuxi exchange uneasy glances before turning back to look at the high table. Lan Xichen is laughing with A-Yong's Yifu, his arms and throat encrusted with the jewels Chifeng-zun wrought for him over the past eighty-odd years; and Chifeng-zun's wistful eyes, tear-dimmed, are resting on the side of Zewu-jun's smiling face.

"Perhaps we should not meddle," Nie Shiyong says presently. "If Uncle speaks, and they choose to be joined—well, that is one thing. But if he is keeping silent out of fear for his beloved's life, then..."

Nie Zhuxi nods.

"I can't help thinking that Zewu-jun would return the king's love, even if doing so might condemn him to death," he murmurs. "But you're right; the matter is too grave for us to interfere in it. I won't say a word."

I cannot decide whether make the Lans be eighth or sixth. I feel like sixth is the best match overall but their fun hating is essential because their biggest contribution to the plot is Lan Wangji.

#like it's not fair to the Lans to make them 8th! they love music which I'm pretty sure the 8th banned #Xichen makes no sense in this context #rip to them in the specific context of an au i am having fun playing around with it is essential that lan wangji retain his hall monitor #vibes and in the sixth he would have insufficient institutional support for being a killjoy #Nies are so clearly 2nd #so that's fine #ouyangs get to be seventh exclusively on zizhen's back #sneaking the yus in as ninth for fun #FINE #the Yao can be 8 the Lans retain their rightful nerd spot and Lan Wangji is just like that on account of childhood trauma #and a moderately unfortunate personality (affectionate) #seventh and eighth are still besties bcs zizhen's dad thinks being an anti is delightfully gloomy and dramatic and Sect Leader Yao is #is the kind of person who thinks poetry should be illegal except when it's about him

Pairing: NieYao

Characters: Meng Yao/Jin Guangyao, Nie Mingjue, Nie Huaisang, Wen Xu, Wen Ruohan, Lan Xichen Relationships: Meng Yao/Jin Guangyao & Nie Huaisang, Nie Mingjue & Nie Huaisang, Meng Yao/Jin Guangyao & Wen Xu, Meng Yao/Jin Guangyao & Wen Ruohan, Lan Xichen & Nie Mingjue, Lan Xichen & Meng Yao/Jin Guangyao & Nie Mingjue

Summary: Meng Yao is kidnapped by the Wen, and Nie Mingjue and Huaisang must justify going after him. On the precipice of one of the deadliest wars in the cultivation world, Meng Yao fends for himself in Qishan. Meanwhile, the Nie brothers face many setbacks, within their clan and without, from those who seek to use the vice general for political ploys and those who believe him unworthy and replaceable. Although Nie Mingjue is determined to bring Meng Yao home, even if he does – will Meng Yao be the same when he returns? NieYao. Background 3zun. WARNING: graphic depictions of violence, torture, trauma, and abuse.

Preview:

After scrubbing himself clean in front of Wen Xu, Meng Yao was brought to a different wing of the palace altogether. At first, Meng Yao thought Wen Xu must have made a mistake. He had no weapon, but surely the Wen did not trust him enough to leave him so unattended. Wen Xu’s hands were no longer guiding him. He only followed close behind.

Meng Yao’s heart beat rapidly. He had anticipated a moment alone after being forced to give Wen Xu oral pleasure, but they just kept walking…

The tightening of his fists disappeared in the red and white folds of his robes.

Wen Xu halted before a new doorway. This one was lined with gold finish and wood carvings of phoenixes and fire. Too ostentatious for a prisoner. Based on the turns they took and the distance they had walked, too, Meng Yao surmised they were near the palace center. The walls were a vibrant red, covered in tapestries like those in the main throne hall. Golden threads shimmered from torchlight flickering against the wall, the floors of smooth basalt. Inside was –

Oh no… Oh, no…

Meng Yao breathed slowly. There was a grand bed veiled with red silk, grey and white sheets. Near a wooden table with black metal inlay, surrounded by frilled silk cushions of gold for tea, on the opposite side was a small library, with a desk of ink and paper. There was a large wooden wardrobe.

It was Wen Xu’s room.

Wei Wuxian is keeping himself upright through sheer force of will and his utter refusal to let Lan Zhan be right about anything.

He has been sort of exhausted lately, but he’s been training himself into the ground and keeping to ridiculous Lan morning routines and he has a curse mark slowly killing him, so he thinks he’s entitled. He would have made it to the Jin tower just fine if he hadn’t run into Song Lan and had to hunt down a town fierce corpses and fight Xue Yang. That alone would leave most people exhausted, so he has a perfectly good excuse for his vision to be going fuzzy on the edges.

Except he’d literally rather fall off his sword and snap his neck then admit that. He can’t even let that happen, because A-Qing is flying on his sword with him, and she’s not even a cultivator. Her bones will break a lot easier than his will.

He’s not even injured. Or, well, not any injuries that count. He once fought off fierce corpses right after having his core ripped out, being tortured, and dropped from a height high enough to kill. Some bruises and cuts are nothing, and they don’t feel like anything now. Maybe he should have let Xue Yang stab him a couple of times. It would have made everything more believable and also would have let him nap with his dignity intact.

They land back at the inn and the rest of the Lans look extremely relieved and then confused when they see their newest additions. Except for Jin Guangyao, who only shows that he’s noticed them by raising a single eyebrow and looking to him immediately.

Jin Guangyao is a stone cold bitch that’s too smart for anyone’s own good. Wei Wuxian sort of regrets that they’d never had any reason to really get to know one another during the war. Surely Jin Guangyao could have steered him away from some of his worse decisions.

“We’re bringing guests,” he announces to all of them, jumping to the ground and nudging A-Qing to do the same with a guiding hand on her hip. “Song Lan and Xiao Xingchen, who I assume you all already know. And A-Qing. They’ve had a rough time and we’re going to be very nice to them.” He looks over to Lan Xichen. “I guess it’s a good thing that you brought the carriage. They can ride in there the rest of the way.”

The awkward silence is broken by Jin Guangyao saying, “Madame Jin is not fond of accommodating extra guests.”

Madame Jin is going to make Jin Guangyao deal with it because she’s petty that way. Apparently Jin Zixuan plays interference as much as he can, but considering he’s no longer fighting fit and the perfect heir he once was, his ability to influence his mother has been similarly reduced.

A politician down to her core. Wei Wuxian might be able to admire it if it didn’t make him hate her so much.

“I’m not fond of Madame Jin, so I’m sure it even outs,” he says carelessly.

Some of the Lan go to the effort to pretend to be appalled but most of them seem to have no problem agreeing, regardless of all the rules of propriety and respecting one’s elders that he’s breaking. People take their cue from their leaders and Lan Xichen is straight up just pretending he didn’t say that, probably because he agrees.

He’s treated to the rare sight of Jin Guangyao’s dimples. “Can you at least pretend not to be a menace? I can only put out so many fires at once.”

“I can pretend,” he agrees and then A-Qing is faking a coughing fit to hide her giggles.

Wei Wuxian: H-hello, Jie! A-Cheng!

Jiang Cheng: Hey moro-, wait! Why do you sound like you are crying? Did the Lan bustard do something? Where are you? I am coming to pick you up! I'll rip his damned head off! Stay where you are! Where are you?

Jiang Yanli: A-Ying, what's wrong? Do you need me to come over? I am coming over. (To ZiXuan) BABE! Can you pick up A-Ling from school?

Wei Wuxian: Guys, it's okay. It's just... it was A-Yuan's first day at the nursery. And he just went in! Just like that! Didn't even look back at us! He doesn't love us anymore!

Jiang Cheng: **Unspecified choking noise**

Jiang Yanli: I know sweetheart, they grow up so fast. At least you didn't have to pry him off like A-Ling.

Lan Xichen: You look sad, Wangji.

Lan Wangji: *Nods*

Nie MingJue: How can you tell?

Lan Xichen: Is it because A-Yuan started nursery?

Lan Wangji: Mnn.

Lan Xichen: Don't be so depressed, didi. He has to grow up.

Lan Wangji: Mnn.

Lan Xichen: Are you feeling jealous because he didn't make a fuss before going inside?

Lan Wangji: *Nods*

Nie MingJue: Again, how can you tell? He hasn't moved a single facial muscle!
