Title: Love Traps
Length: 6.1k
tags: domestic wangxian fluff
The third fic in my post-canon wangxian series ! I'm writing after quite a while so would love some comments and kudos. This is just Wei Wuxian sick and teasing Lan Wangji 🥺 for hours 💝💝💝
Thread: WHAT MDZS CHARACTERS WOULD WEAR IN MY "EVERYONE IS A WOMAN" THOUGHTS :
1. Lan Wangji: I definitely see her as femme presenting! simple high quality cotton clothes - dressing for comfort & modesty, but always stealing everyone's attention. always looks huggable and loving
let's bring some of my favourite canon Lan Wangji moments from MDZS, from one of my favourite arcs!
1. Lan Wangji likes showing off to Wei Wuxian and hearing him say things like, "You're so strong! You're so good! The best!"
hear me out. no war AU. everyone returns to Gusu to study further. some guy falls in love with wwx and actually has the balls to confess to him.
wwx, in eternal punishment with lwj: Lan zhan! did you know i got confessed to today? by a guy!
lwj:
lwj: oh.
I love the wangxian trope of wwx becoming a god after death. and he's a controversial one ofc - "demonic god of death" his temples avoided and stigmatized. but the poor, the unpriveleged, the unrecognised love and worship him but his most devoted worshipper is hanguang-jun
so good that wwx brings back women who were denied peace back to life to kill and mutilate their abusers. and that lwj as a man born to status most often keeps his mouth shut. i understand why I like them so much
lan wangji would ask wei wuxian to self reflect upon himself and wei wuxian would show up with a full frame mirror to the library and look at himself for three hours in different cute poses until lan wangji snaps
Headcanon: wwx on ascension becomes the god of the dead or lost souls and... righteous very powerful very smart and talented hanguang jun becomes the God of... (jingyi don't laugh that's our senior) God of... (wei qianbei, that is your husband!) - God of rabbits
lwj (drunk): Wei Ying, come here and don't move.
wwx: eh? you drunk one sip of my glass accidentally and you're already making strange demands?
lwj: come here. don't move.
wwx: do I move there or not?
lwj (angrily): come here!
wwx: ok ok, I'm coming. why do you get angry-
lan zhan doesn't have any close friends because the Lan Sect keeps their men and women separated. if he were studying with women he'd have many friends because once they get over their initial crush towards him, he'd be their safe space and they'll be his.
like he's so. he likes wwx but coldly runs away at the first sight of him. he threw Wei Wuxian out of a window after getting a gift he loved and took care of for years. he bit Wei Wuxian's arm. he kissed Wei Wuxian but then cut trees to cope. like he's true tsundere
au idea: after five years of dating, Lan Wangji decides to run some complicated block chains to get rid of the accounts that are always being toxic on twitter.
Wei Ying calls him, wailing like a kitten of how dare Lan Wangji block ALL 15 OF HIS ACCOUNTS.
WWX: DONT BE A COWARD
ugh everytime ppl talk about wwx I get heated up. fiction=/= reality. one can like whoever they want, but one shouldn't excuse actions or rationalize them in dumb & concerning ways
▪︎ exhibit 1
wwx helps people: savior complex
jc, lwj, jzx help people: moral and kind.
mdzs is such a perfectly told tale. young master Lan exits seclusion, spots a bright faced boy breaking rules on a roof of a clan house. he fights him.
years later he spots the same boy again, but he's no longer bright or smiling. he breaks rules and they fight on the roof of
imagine something goes wrong on a night hunt with the juniors (who are scared) and wwx transforms into his 19 year old self straight out of a battlefield and everyone's sorta like: o-O
wwx: oh hello
ljy: this is 20 years+ into your future
wwx: cool. can I nap
lsz: go ahead...
cue wwx being nice and allowing the heart struck guy to hang around him and playing with him. lwj glaring from the distance or straight up dragging wwx physically away for studying .
we should appreciate wwx's awesome parenting more. he was able to handle 10+ snobby teens in the disaster of Yi city and leave them all to become friends, learn a lot and feel safe
jianghu: Wei Wuxian is so arrogant, improper and has no respect for traditions!
lwj: Mn. Very frivolous. (incredibly softly)
jianghu: wwx took one-third of the prey! shameless!
lwj: one-third? *turned on*
wwx: *angers people by saying insane things*
lwj: laughs
I should be cancelled I just imagined 3rd year of seclusion lwj fucking incense burner wwx and holding him so tightly and wwx is like, your back... be careful and lwj is crying and asking him if he's real, and saying that the back cannot compare to the sorrows of the heart BYE
watched a dude carry a screaming toddler across the parking lot. he noticed me looking at him and said “he’s mine, i’m not stealing him” and then before i could reply he added “if i was gonna take one, it definitely wouldn’t be this asshole”
presenting my case for one of Lan Wangji's most dickish moments + also a character in depth scrutinity.
starring from this scene at the Phoenix Mount hunt. it took Wei Wuxian throwing some flowers, asking for his ribbon and unknowingly playing their love song for Lan Wangji to-
it will never cease to be funny
wwx: what if we... both tolerated each other? and you didn't dislike me? and we both... got a house next to each other? and we... LIVED. and sometimes i snuggled next to you in bed and you cooked and i ... what did i do? i farmed! yeah.
interesting stuff to note:
1. yzy whips up someone who has the status of a servant and verbally upholds class differences.
2. Lan clan is not easily accessible to "lessers" & lqr picks on wwx, compares him with his prestine nephew & considers wwx's company as a "dark spot"
no war au
wwx: liked by everyone and getting regular proposals once he hits the age of 18
lwj: exists
wwx: (look at me. talk to me. think about me.)
lwj: glances at him
wwx:
wwx bullies his husband by making him responsible for entertaining their 4 kids.
wwx: Lan zhan! you should act more like a princess when you're reading that line.
4th daughter: yes yes, a-die put more emotion.
lwj:...
lwj: is it 9 yet
wwx; nope! 2 hours to go ~
call me petty but I love how lwj never once laughed in 35 years of his existence surrounded by his family, but some stupid words out of Wei Ying's mouth have him giggling
liquor by his altar, for a while. lwj would sit by his statue and play the guqin - the cultivators are angered by this display but everytime they target hanguang jun, ill-fate follows them. by word of mouth it spreads like a flame-
hgj is under the heavenly protection of a god.
sometimes I think about Lan Wangji seeing child Wei Ying in a shared dream, and waking up to sob into his chest like a baby, unreasonably angry at his 5 year old self for not knowing his soulmate was out there suffering.
and Wei Wuxian just carding his fingers through his hair
imo lwj fell in love with wwx by the time of xuanwu cave based on their shared values etc. upon wwx's reappearance, lwj felt like all that made him secure in his love for wwx was lost thus he tried to 'fix' wwx before it is too late, and he is consumed by 'the dark forces.'
giggly bullshitting menace wwx is now surrounded by 3 people who take him extremely seriously - Lan wangji, Wen Ning and Lan Sizhui.
wwx: do you know...
lwj: I do not.
wwx: don't ask me this!
wn: ok
wwx: im gonna punish you hahah!
lsz: okay, qianbei.
wwx: why are u like this
pisses me off how both lan qiren and lan xichen probably think lan wangji falling for wei wuxian is the best gift in wwx's life and it is true. wwx will agree. but it's NOT in thAT way that those two are thinking.
thought about wwx and jyl chatting up a storm while lwj and jzx sit and play chess (the equivalent in chinese xianxia) and it's fun until wwx and jyl come to see what they're doing and playfully say how their husband will win.
jyl and wwx then move onto other things.
Modern AU: Lan Zhan and Wei Ying are polar opposites in their class, and often engage in debates. Once, they are put into a group project with Jin Zixun and Su She. Obviously, these two almost ruin their chances at passing the class - and wx find themselves completing the-
in the audio drama extra - where LXC is notifying JGY of how LWJ is much happier right now, spending day and night with MXY.
JGY: day and night?
LCX: Yes. But I hope MXY can cherish Wangji's true intentions. May he never be like Wei - that disappointment.
LIKE IT'S WWX AGAIN
people think lwj is the overprotective one and they are right. but watch lwj get a scratch on his cheek and wwx just about loses it, kissing him multiple times, asking if he's okay and calling him a good boy. ofc he cleans it up and bandages it daily.
reminder that it is canon that lwj wearily shakes his head when wwx gets the "I'm a gremlin" spark in his eyes and starts dramatically making things up
it's tradition for lwj to offer his prayers into a temple no cultivator would step into before embarking on any difficult night hunt. he's not even praying for his safety - rather notifying wwx that he is going away, that there won't be anyone who'd put flowers and rabbits and
5. Jiang Yanli - i think jyl will definitely dress more like an aristocrat (she's not aristocratic tho). she's just got those princessy vibes and then she's got her jeans and top and bag and you're out shopping with her for essentials to fix your life
lwj: faced with the realization that he can't have a toxicity free timeline without blocking all of wwx's accs
wwx: FINE. IM BLOCKING YOU ON PHONE THEN. DONT CALL ME YOURS ANYMORE.
lwj: wait -
when wwx wakes up one day earlier than lwj because he has a VISION.
wwx: let's build a tree house and live on top of a tree! for a few months hahah
lwj: Now? (very seriously)
wwx: 🥺🥺 no I'm just saying
also wwx: makes 4 different layouts for treehouse construction that day-
lwj: ... Mn
wwx: just tell me it will make it easier
lwj: fingers.
wwx: your fingers?
lwj: putting in your mouth
wwx: pfft why? do you want me to eat your fingers?
lwj: no i want to put them in your mouth
wwx: why?
lwj:
lwj; 😡
I need ceo wwx and assistant lwj. like lwj actually has a lot of "useless" degrees and his family inheritance but he'd rather organize wwx's day, ask him to rest, get him caffeine, food, wine and everything else that he needs
lwj, smelling sumn off at the place they're camping for the night, running quickly in case wwx is in trouble.
wwx: Lan zhan!!! you're back !! hehe~
lwj: what... is the smell?
wwx: hehe~ it's a surprise! do you know why i sent u back to town to get that toy?
aaaa I wanna see more of wwx lovingly cooking for lwj too 🥹 even if it’s spicy or burnt or delicious, lwj will eat it and praise the love of his life for cooking a meal for him
do you think lwj had a realization in the midst of dragging wwx to gusu like "damn I just kidnapped Wei Wuxian, the yiling laozu, he's crying atop his donkey and he can't fight me or everyone will know i kidnapped yiling laozu wei wuxian"
wwx: I wish when I did handstands, the floor could also hold me so I don't topple over! floor next time you've to hold me.
lwj: (struck with an idea) I can hold you.
wwx: ??
(a couple of minutes later)
lsz walks into the jingshi pavilion to see wwx handstanding on lwj's hand
@DearthOfSid
one woman do something they don't agree with (not harming anyone btw): women empowerment and feminism bad
rape, gangrape, dowry, murder, revenge porn, deep fake, wage gap: not all men. our society is perfect.
crying bc wwx is so nice ;( baby got kissed super hard and this dumb ice pole is chopping trees and shouting at him scarily :(((((( "are you okay? if you're not okay, then say you're not okay?" NOBODY EVER ASKED HIM IF HE WAS OKAY IM GONNA DROWN MYSELF 😭
funny how the three closest people to Wei Wuxian are JC anties. Two, who are pretty reserved, have directly lost their tempers at him while Lan Sizhui has expressed his distaste for such people. Anyway, let's not forget it was when JC insulted LWJ that WWX attacked him
WWX: DO YOU HATE ME? WHAT HAPPENED?
Lwj: what happened ????
WWX: I SHOULD BE ASKING YOU YOU DUMB ASS ICE POLE
Lwj: ????????
WWX: 😭😭😭😭 why did you block me 😭😭 you told me I love u in the morning and blocked all my accs in the afternoon 😭😭😭😭💀💀💀
lwj:. . .
so quickly when you're drunk?
lwj: 🙁
wwx: aiyo! don't be sad. I'm here now. (pats his head)
lwj: (lowers his head)
wwx internally: (evil laughter) He wanted head pats!
when wwx is trying to chuckle discreetly (to not anger his adorable husband again) lwj is focused on -
the hottest thing is when wwx tries to explain jc's behavior to lwj to appease him and lwj sternly says, "don't mention him."
also this -
"hanguang-jun, don't mind what he said!"
"which part?"
I totally get why wwx is so in love with this man. The charm is undeniable.
mdzs lwj; there is nothing to explain it is exactly how it looks like. gets wwx to relative safety and goes home to receive his death sentence after being told to get lost by wwx.
cql lwj: so I forgot I've a sword that can fly
it's a book that... ended. he's a character. he's not gonna develop any further. funny how all the people at dafan mountain were afraid of saying mxy was a cutsleeve to jc. he's a canon homophobe
I really need people to stop calling Jiang Cheng a “canon homophobe” for reacting in a way informed by the cultural norms when seeing his first gay person. 😭 If that’s all it takes to get called a permanent homophobe no growth possible then that’s basically everyone.
something else.
lwj: (puts his finger inside wwx mouth)
wwx: uh?
lwj, laser sharp focus: Mn.
wwx: what are you doing (almost inaudible)
lwj: don't move
wwx: but I'm not moving
lwj: Mn.
wwx; moves a little
lwj: 😞😞😡
wwx: dies laughing
wwx; what are you trying to do
are there fics where Lan Wangji went by 20 or 25 years of his life without a speck of romantic connection or sexual urge and then he met Wei Ying and suddenly became the most sexual and in love person?
when wwx has a slight cold and headache thanks to playing outside with juniors all day in cold gusu winters, he hugs lwj really tightly, buries his head into lwj's chest and makes him read some romance books he found in local shops in his original dialect 🥺
if lwj got transmigrated to thr future accidentally and he opened twt on wwx birthday and posted a tweet like "hello. I am Lan zhan. where is Wei Ying?" at least 200 accounts with wwx pfp respond to him
lwj: is this Wei ying
lwj: is this also Wei ying
lwj: im never going back
I can only think of those abo fics where the alpha accidentally scents the omega who he doesn't treat extremely well and the omega has to suffer alone :(
also vice versa with Wei Ying.
everyone: scared of lwj
wwx: runs up right to him
everyone: act extremely properly around lwj
wwx: thinks of getting him beaten up by tricking him to steal lotus seed pods
everyone: lwj is being too rigid
wwx: that's not what you said !
And pretty, yet be strong and form a new core! He doesn't bear any scars of the past, except his souk that remembers. The one who bears all his scars is Lan Wangji; and he will wear them gladly. For the first time, WWX can allow someone else to protect him
5. wrh extends his clan name to those not born in it as long as they listen to him; he ranks people by their skill while still protecting his sons - however he gets betrayed.
3. jgs punishes his own children born to poor statuses and consistently paints wwx as a force disrupting their peace.
4. nmj believes classism can be removed by sheer hard work and good will - he doesn't acknowledge wwx with his courtesy name, is blind to class struggles.
him of their study session.
Wei Ying replies back to him adding a dozen hearts and memes.
Wen Qing watches him with narrowed eyes. "Boyfriends," she mutters before leaving the room.
a clan house.
The boy dies, and young master lan is forced to seclusion. that story ends. The young master will never forget the boy he has encountered, and will never stop loving him.
exhibit 2
wwx gets abused by jiang fam - jyl: normal chinese family dynamics
jc doesn't get hugged by his dad: emOtionAl abUse
▪︎ exhibit 3
lwj is rude and judgemental towards wwx: wwx was annoying!
wwx logically presumes lwj doesn't like him: HE IS SO OBLIVIOUS
this fandom pisses me off. all day you're screaming about jc being poster image of misogyny when he's a misogynistic classist homophobic MALE. now you're speaking over SA. a core isn't purity - might be better to compare to loss of immunity ffs. and yeah jc is SHITTY AND COWARDLY
@kirtipatelmd
male loneliness crisis is men realizing they'll have to break patriarchial standards they enjoy and let go of toxic masculinity if they wish to have a fulfilled life
do you think when Lan zhan holds Wei ying he sometimes thinks of how breakabke he is and immediately becomes gentle and kisses him deeply and Wei ying is like: weren't we fucking eh?
1. Firstly, the body itself signifies loss; he lost his life for doing the right thing. It kind of sticks by the Buddhist scriptures - what matters is not the vessel but the soul. I like how wen ning is dead and wwx has a new body; things that can never be changed,
Omegaverse is really funny because it's such a clear example of fandom misogyny to me. It's like they'd rather invent a second puberty so men can get pregnant than write a woman into a ship LMFAO
exhibit 4
jc banishes wwx when he saves the wens to save face: sad but rational
wwx leaves with lwj to finally live his own life: selfish brother
▪︎ exhibit 5
jc hits just awoken wwx and regularly insults him: dynamic so cute!
wwx angry at jc for insulting lwj: out of line
