I'm not saying Lan Xichen's reactions to A-Yao being friends with Su She in CQL are the funniest fucking thing ever, but like, I'm not not saying that...

Stage One: Denial. Just avert your gaze. Nothing happening back there. Don't even worry about it.

Oops, you looked back! Don't look back Er-Ge!

His expression after JGY goes on telling him about how cool and talented Su She is. Like this is the fakest news he's heard all week. (I'd say this is the closest he gets to the anger stage lmao) Like, really A-Yao? You must not know Su She is actually super lame and inept and also a coward and he sucks but that's okay because I'll tell you those things and you won't be friends with him anymore right?

(Bargaining) And then it's just "Oh A-Yao it's okay! You didn't know Su She is bad actually!"

((I only wish we got to see LXC's reaction when he finds out that no, A-Yao has not dropped Su She as a friend and like... actually they're kinda close wtf? Like he obviously can't miss it by the post time skip time unless he's trying very hard to ignore it. Actually he might be trying very hard to ignore it or else why would he not know SMS is JGY's mysterious accomplice? Which while less likely is actually a lot funnier like just straight up "I pretend I do not see" ignoring it for 16 years.))

mdzs headcanon of the day #247 !

xuanli’s wedding was actually fucking wild. everyone was wasted out of their minds, guests went home missing shoes, phones, bags, eyelashes, basically anything that could be lost was lost. there was like, a grand total of three people who didn’t lose anything, didn’t get into an altercation of any sort, or didn’t steal a piece of the venue

Fine, this may be a conspiracy theory, but does anyone else thinks that after seeing the popularity of the non-canon ships in the scum villain fandom MXTX decided to write her next protagonist to be completely isolated on purpose? Because that has been on my mind a lot. Like, it's a fact that she hates it when people ship her MCs with anyone other than their canon love interest, MXTX wrote her first book with an MC that had a long list of people who adored him and were willing to die to protect him in-work, people ate it up, she noticed that a great part of the fandom ships her MC with basically anyone, she hates it, but no matter what she says the ships keep going, then she writes her next book. In that work her MC is a charming, popular cultivator, who suffers a terrible fall from grace and by the end of it he's lost pretty much everything from his past, except his canon love interest. Even if we take away all the love, respect and adoration Wangxian has towards each other it's pretty clear by the end of MDZS that Lan Wangji is the only one left for Wei Wuxian, everyone else is either dead, distant or just hates him

Proud Author Spotlight

~*~

Hi, I love your blog and have found so many gems through it! Thanks so much for the good work!

May I request you to rec a work of mine through the "Proud Authors Spotlight"? This is a sex-cursed WangXian fic written for the Close Quarters Exchange, in which WWX hides from the cultivation conference in the Jinlintai library after getting a sex curse, where he runs into LWJ. There's a bit of dubcon due to the sex curse, but it all turns out well for WangXian. Less smut, much angst and pining, and a canon-divergence with a happy ending. Thanks so much in advance!

Bearing that jasmine-scented night unfading in my heart

by jiah (@jianghuseparatist)

M, 22k, Wangxian

Part of the Close Quarters Exchange

Summary: Take her, whispers the amulet. The curse whips through him then, and he bites off a whimper before it can form. Take her, it sings through his blood. Look at her, she’s practically inviting you to take her, with her wide eyes and soft lips and softer body. Think of how blissful it will be to let go of this strain and sink into her softness like a sharp tooth into the supple, unbroken flesh of a grape. Wei Wuxian will die rather than give in to the curse. But before that, he’ll use what remains of his mind to do what he does best — research this curse and find a way to break it. As luck would have it, he’s stumbled into the one room in Jinlintai that nobody is likely to enter tonight — the library.

au of an au for mdzs where canon plays out exactly as it was supposed to except

wwx became a calamity after dying and cared for his coven of ghosts in yiling before mxy summoned him for revenge.

he still elopes with lwj after solving the corpse question

supreme ghosts have a similar ability to gods taking deputies, except since they're not sharing immortality they can have a lot more of them

wwx's "deputies" are (in order) jiang cheng, the wen remnants, luo qingyang, nie huaisang, mo xuanyu, jin ling, lan jingyi, ouyang zhizhen, lan sizhui, and lan wangji.

being a calamity's "deputy" means that you are soul bonded to them, with a kind of preternatural sense of the wellbeing of the entire coven.

one of the heavenly officials decides to fuck around with time, and only other heavenly officials were supposed to remember, except extremely strong ghosts and their covens also remember because there are TWO gods married to calamities, and calamities are weirdly cooperative with each other (hc, hx, wwx, & gL discuss trade agreements over tea and artistic process over alcohol).

thus like 75 people are now in the past.

wwx's child body cant stand the power his soul has and just kinda crumbles under the weight. thats mostly fine tho cause he can shapeshift.

of course he immediately comes up with a dastardly plan to inflict as much chaos onto the sects as possible while also protecting his loved ones at the same time. he gets in contact with the wen remnants (bigger and there's more of them) and slowly moves them over to yiling while he builds places for them to live on the mountain, and then offers the people of yiling a very good deal:

"we'll deal with all your ghost problems for free, and in exchange we get discounts on food, and you tell everyone who comes asking that the Yiling Wei sect has been here the entire time."

its almost too easy to set up, too. they forge some trade agreements and other documents to place in the other sects' files, waiting to be found, with ease, bc he knows what the filing for the jiang, lan, wen, and nie looks like, and part of the story is that the jin offended them so badly that they just stopped doing business with them altogether and also tend to actively hate them with few exceptions.

meanwhile, huaisang, qingyang, and wangji will reference the Yiling Wei and act like this is something everyone knows about, and jiang cheng catches on and starts doing the same.

wwx's plan is to drive them all insane by appearing out of nowhere and acting like he's been there the entire time. make them question reality.

wen popo, at a discussion conference: i'll be standing in for my grandson so he can participate in the games

jiang fengmian, initiating polite conversation: your grandson? what happened to your son?

wen popo, internally cackling: fengmian! are you so quick to discard changze like this?! for shame!!

jiang fengmian, who has never met this lady: what

wen popo: you know i trusted him when he said he wanted to stand by his sworn brother's side but if this is how you treat his memory after he was so unwaveringly loyal to you, only ever leaving for Cangse, the love of his life, then i'll have to have you stricken from the legacy registry!

wen popo, with unfaltering confidence: good evening wen-zhongzhu

wen ruohan, who has incurable face blindness: well met Wei-zhongzhu (do i know her???)

nie mingjue is the only one who's taking any of this well and thats solely because his brother has been spoon feeding him Yiling Wei propaganda for 13 years. lan xichen has a crisis because his baby brother eloped with a clan leader he met thrice and they're having a spring wedding.

#i just think wen popo deserves some chaos. as a treat. #hua cheng is watching this like a soap opera #gege gege quick! wei popo is gonna slap a bitch!! #wen qing and wen popo are his favorites immediately after gege #wei wuxian is a menace #mdzs #wei wuxian #mo dao zu shi #the grandmaster of demonic cultivation #the grandmaster of diabolism #chen qing ling #cql #mdzs au #au of an au #yiling wei #lan wangji #mxtx mdzs #mxtx #grim is thinking #ghost wei wuxian #ghost king wei wuxian #yiling laozu #yiling patriarch #wangxian #wuji

WujiWatch: CQL Rewatch Episode 18

I tagged a lovely gifset from this episode with the tags “#some people go their whole lives without finding a zhiji #and wwx somehow ended up with two.” Wei Wuxian and Wen Qing have helped each other before, most notably on Dafan Mountain, but this is the episode where they truly become a team—where they show how deeply they understand one another. The moment that gets me is when Wei Wuxian asks Wen Qing for a sedative to drug Jiang Yanli… and Wen Qing reaches under the book she’s reading for a little paper packet, already prepared with the proper drug in the proper dose. She knew he would ask, and she’d already resigned herself to helping him do it. That’s her side. When she holds it out to Wei Wuxian, he doesn’t look the slightest bit surprised. That’s his.

These children who were raised by not-quite-parents, in homes that gave them everything but safety, who learned to govern their faces and bite their tongues and be what those not-quite-parents needed them to be, because if you were needed, that was as close to safety as you could get; these geniuses, too smart to be understood by anyone but one another, innovators out on the edge of the possible, possessed of extraordinary gifts turned to ends they never wanted; these bruised idealists who can’t turn away from people in need even when they know they’ll pay the price, and those they love will pay it, too—they know each other. Down to their souls, they know each other.

Wei Wuxian will know and be known by Lan Wangji, too. But Wen Qing will never have this kind of intimacy with anyone else. She might have had it with Jiang Cheng, in another life—with their shared values of loyalty and duty, their quiet longing and sharp political instincts. But in this one, that possibility is sacrificed on a hilltop in Yiling. She knows him, in a way no one else ever will, up to her wrists in the red insides of him. But her chance to be known by him in turn is gone forever. No truth can survive that big a lie.
