Reincarnation/Modern AU where LXC wakes up in modern times and finds that his diaries were discovered, turned into novels, made into a now classic movie, and is about to be re-made into a vapid action movie by some famous Hollywood director

Through a hilarious series of coincidences and fate, his reincarnation is cast as the character Lan Xichen

CW: noncon, NSFW, dead dove, i'm sorry but it's the holidays & i wanna indulge a lil but like seriously, dead dove.

i'll pay someone my entire soul to write an attic wife!LXC whump fic where JGY successfully kidnaps LXC to a faraway land & keeps him locked up & hidden away

... except maybe he loans LXC out a few times to curry favor with some particularly powerful nobles or to bribe their way across a border or because his throat goes dry & his dick has never gotten harder than when he saw tears in er-ge's eyes and heard him gasp & cough & beg & cry

no idea how this story ends... i guess the fucked up xiyao ending is LXC develops stockholm syndrome and it ain't necessarily a healthy relationship but it's a kind of happiness.

that... doesn't sit well with me but i mean it's one route for sure

[a-cutebird]

i just think he's beautiful when he cries

not 2 be horny on main but there aren't enough wrh/lxc dead dove fics u___u

[a-cutebird]

there isn't enough lxc whump in general but also specifically lxc whump where nhs takes out a lot of bottled up anger/resentment/grief on him and lxc just takes it because he believes he deserves it & also because it makes him feel better(?)

[a-cutebird]

ok but what if lxc isn't qingheng-jun's son but rather the son of his teacher — the one lxc's mom killed — and once he realizes this he's like fuuuck that, and thus, lwj happens, and. yeah. idk where to go with this AU/thought/whatever but. y'know. what if

lan wangji is a man of many names: lan zhan, lan wangji, hanguang-jun, second jade of gusu, chief cultivator, but to jiang cheng, he’ll always just be 蓝二. Lan 2.  

Literally…. Lan Two. 

when you think your brother-in-law really aint shit.

Jiang Cheng: From now on, we will be using code names. You can address me as Eagle One. Wen Qing, code name: Been There, Done That. Nie Huaisang is Currently Doing That. Wen Ning is It Happened Once in a Dream; Zewu Jun, code name: If I Had To Pick a Lan. Wangji is… Lan Two.

Wei Wuxian: Oh thank God.

#some scenes in the untamed #really make me feel like i have a read on how the scriptwriters felt about the novel #and in particular what parts of the novel they really wanted to emphasize or highlight their own interpretation of #like here where someone was like ok #instead of lan wangji and some forbidden zombie courtesans #lets have xichen open his mouth very clearly and say #HEY BUDDY WHEN YOU’RE CARELESS WITH YOURSELF YOU HURT THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE #and i think that’s very selfish of you actually #for further details please consider how my dad deciding to punish himself #by locking up both of my parents #impacted my early childhood development (via winepresswrath)

is there anything quite like realizing that strict warrior clan leader nie mingjue is a sensitive jock who cries whenever he has an emotion, and that his delicate little brother who makes a scene whenever hes mildly inconvenienced is absolutely stone cold and none of the people around him who pride themselves on reading emotions realize hes full of unrelenting murderous rage for like a solid decade. kings both of them

that’s 100 years of dice jail for that d20

though he was probably rolling with disadvantage anyway due to being kind and having faith in his friends idk

I adore your take on modern BSSR & I'd like to hc she got XXC big into foraging growing up. And he's not going to let his deteriorating sight stop him from eating all the wild mushrooms he can find. He can make pretty good guesses by feel/smell and SL can double check, right? He trusts him. So SL ends up frantically googling mushroom identification & new recipes. And b/c now he's nervous BSSR gets flooded with texts to triple check the mushrooms are okay. Song Lan doesn't even like mushrooms

yessss, good headcanon, accepted!

unfortunately for Song Lan, BSSR has a weird sense of humour...

THAT’S NOT A QUESTION MOST PEOPLE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THEIR ANSWER TO, XINGCHEN

(she’s never killed anyone, he’s just messing with him. Lan Yi greatly approves of Song Lan purely because it means she’s not the only sane person in the family any more)

more modern au!

thinking about grief and about how almost certainly a big part of lxc’s friendship with jgy was talking about nmj — remembering him, mourning him, celebrating him. because it helps, having someone you trust, deeply, to talk to about a loved one who’s passed away.

(how awful it must be for lxc, to think back to those conversations, now knowing that jgy had been nmj’s murderer)

but after jgy’s death... lxc is alone.

like, i know that countless fics have been written about how alone lxc is, post-guanyin, but he is. so, so alone.

even under “normal” circumstances, there’s this... this pressure you feel, to stop talking about them. they’re dead. we know it was difficult for you. they’re dead. we know. and even the kindest people, even when they patiently listen to yet another memory of someone who’s permanently gone — it’s so easy to feel like a burden, even when they insist that you aren’t.

for lxc especially — who wants to hear about jgy anymore, other than to spit out his name and grind it into mud? and maybe lxc wants to do that too, at some point, 

(because he’s not immune to anger and resentment and bitterness and)

but there’s. so much else. that he can’t talk about, because no one gives a shit, and he has to pretend that his feelings aren’t so so so so so complicated, still, even months, years, decades later. sure, at first, people understand because jgy was, after all, his sworn brother. but how long until they find lxc’s reluctance to unequivocally condemn jgy not only baffling but offensive?

and — and what about nmj? is he even allowed to speak of da-ge anymore? and, if he is — with whom? who is left, that he trusts enough to grieve with and who knew nmj as he did? the only one that fits the latter would be nhs — but that’s out of the question. so who? who? 

... all i can imagine is lxc having to process all of this in silence

(maybe the occasional conversation with lwj, but their relationship isn’t one that involves many words, and lwj has wwx to love and talk to and be happy with; lxc would never want to get in the way of that)

and it. fucking. hurts!

Look I know he's talking about Jin Ling here but this is so fucking funny. Me?? Kill someone???? I ask as I'm literally slitting someone's throat with a string. Your honor I would never kill anyone. I amn just a litle Innocent Creacher.
