Summary: Once is sheer luck. Twice is a kindness. Wei Wuxian does not go through life tallying his encounters with handsome river gods, and he is already content with what he has.
But the thing is—Lan Wangji keeps coming back.
Kay's comments: Since AO3 is currently down, here is one of my favourite Twitter threads that has since been archived on AO3 as well, so I've included both links. It's a lovely Spirited Away AU in which Lan Wangji is a polluted river spirit and Wei Wuxian is a bath-house worker, who is actually a fox spirit as well, but can't transform while he works and pays his debt off. I'm very weak for this setting, because Spirited Away is one of my favourite Ghibli stories and yukla wrote a truly beautiful Wangxian AU.

*Kim perks up, seeing the message from Ramona.*
Oh, hey! No, I'm not particularly busy... I mean, I've got an early shift on Saturday, but that place is perpetually dead- I could easily dip out towards the end, or sooner; they wouldn't miss me. Hollie owes me anyhow.
What kind of movie were you thinking? I have no clue what's out right now...
Realized just how tortured my darlings are when i was asked who my ‘silly sweetheart character’ and I kept pulling up characters and none of them. None. EXCEPT FOR THESE BITCHES (and homework. Jeez. How’d i forget homework ):)
I love Mabel being possessed by Bill so much, I think it's so interesting and I love all the different takes on it. I especially enjoy the Depravity Falls AU, which is why I added some blood to the second image.
Reblogs and comments are appreciated, and I'll hopefully draw Mabill from scratch soon <3
@whyisthistoastburning ok. so. hmm. Homestuck is a,, very complicated comic. to say the least. give me a second to figure out where to sta
WAIT NO WAIT KSGDJS I JUST REMEMBERED I ALREADY WROTE LORE OUT
and here's the whole doc if you want to know more. it should have everything covered that you would need to know for the au (besides denizens, sorry)
so basically the deal with smantsprite^2 is that 1) there are two Tanners, who play two different sessions of SBURB and as such have two different sprites. The first one programs his sprite with his own denizen and then himself, and the second one has his sprite programmed by the first Tanner's captchalogue (basically his inventory) and then the first Tanner's sprite. which DOES make him very overpowered but <3 shh he's a special boy he can do what he wants. I just realized this started out as a numbered list and then I didn't number anything after 1. sorry abt that lol
So Koreki. You mentioned there's someone you're uh,,,, "Fascinated by".
What makes him so interesting to you? Is it how he looks? Or how he acts?
Ssuposse a persson iss at a crossssroadss of ssortss.
It layss before them ass a new sstruggle.
The average persson would ssee it ass a new sstressssor or jusst another terrible thing happening to them, yess?
He doess not.
He takess them like challengess.
He addressssessss them like puzzless and it fasscinatess me endlessssly.
I find mysself more willing to get wrapped up in hiss world the more he sspeakss.
Hiss lookss are wonderful, I will not deny.
But beauty can hide terrible thingss, that which actionss can not.
