thinking about Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian taking their leave of the Wen siblings in episode 18…

Jiang Cheng bows to them but straightens up and turns to leave very abruptly and Wen Qing clearly expected a deeper bow, a longer goodbye, and she just. stares after him, and I—

I’m so sad, it’s like—I don’t think she ever really allowed herself to picture something actually happening between her and Jiang Cheng, with everything that was going on,

but he used to be so sweet to her, always showed concern about her well-being (are you okay, isn’t too dangerous for you to go back, did Wen Ruohan punish you,) and I can’t imagine such kindness coming from someone who wasn’t her brother was something she was used to, and I guess some part of her treasured that, and now, well.

a couple of days ago he shouted at her to stay away from him and she was clearly very upset about it, and now he’s far more composed around her but it looks like he can’t even stand to be in her company for too long

(the war broke out with her sect massacring his, they’re on opposite sides and he doesn’t know that she’ll soon put her hands inside of him, everything is saying nothing will happen now)

and she can’t help but feel that loss, and she hurts for it, and I’m sad!!!

For the 3 sentence fic game: ChengQing + fairy tale AU?

Jiang Cheng had been asleep for a long time--a very, very long time; he'd dreamt of everything, of everyone in his life twice over, and he could feel the edges of the sleep that wouldn't let him go. When he finally woke it was to the ghost of lips on his own and an acerbic voice in his ear full of as much promise as threat.

"I thought I told you," Wen Qing said when he opened his eyes, "you aren't allowed to die until I'm done with you."

jiang cheng, there you are. tell me, is it better to plant potatoes or radishes?

[ID: 4 gifs of episode 27, the scene where jiang cheng arrives at the burial mounds. The first and fourth gifs are of jiang cheng, the second gif is of wei wuxian, and the third gif is of wen qing. all gifs are of the characters facing forward, or almost forward, from the shoulders up. there is no dialogue. the coloured text in the caption reads “jiang cheng, there you are. tell me, is it better to plant potatoes or radishes?” End ID]

A husband and wife, the future of Yunmeng Jiang Sect. Equally cautious, and equally fierce!

So I'm thinking about ChengQing, as I so often do, and in particular I am thinking about the fight/info-sharing-at-the-tavern scene, and how funny it is that Wen Qing completely misreads how to effectively secretly convey the necessary information to Jiang Cheng.

See, Wen Qing is a smart and observant young woman. She's seen how Jiang Cheng interacts with Wei Wuxian—the way he responds to Wei Wuxian making fun of him with violence—so she's like, "Ah-ha! A fight is the perfect cover to pass on the information about what's happening at Dafan! I will provoke him into fighting me."

But she doesn't reckon on the fact that fighty mad Jiang Cheng is what he's like when they're playing around. As we see more when they get back to Lotus Pier, Jiang Cheng's MO when his feelings are actually hurt is to run away.

So he thinks the cool doctor girl he has a crush on is making fun of him with the full weight of her extremely powerful sect behind her, so he's like, "FINE, I'll leave where I'm not wanted" and then Wen Qing has to pick the fight with him herself 😂

the long way back home

Characters/Relationships: Jiang Cheng centric. Jiang Cheng & Wei Wuxian & Jiang Yanli, Jiang Cheng & Jin Ling, Jiang Cheng/Wen Qing. Background WangXian and XuanLi Rating: M Genre/Tags: Modern AU || Family || Romance || Heavy Angst || Dysfunctional Family || Abuse || Mental Health Issues || Depression || Suicide Themes || Hopeful Ending || Additional Warnings in Author Notes Chapters: 4, 5, 6 Summary:

Wei Ying always knew he was the single discordant note in the Jiang household. That was why, after graduating from university, he didn’t return home. With him gone, Yu Ziyuan wouldn’t have anyone to compare her son to, and Jiang Fengmian wouldn’t have to keep avoiding his own family to prevent further conflict.

…Right?

(Seven years later, married to the man of his life and with a lovely son, Wei Ying returns to his hometown and tries to reconnect with his siblings and befriend his nephew; but, most of all, he struggles to figure out what’s wrong with his brother and how to help him, despite Jiang Cheng not wanting to have anything to do with him anymore.)

THE UNTAMED episode 05

[winepresswrath]

This is off topic, but I firmly believe that Wen Qing is, on some level, is as much of a bi disaster as WWX is. I mean for starters, she’s a med student. She may have four different binders for each class she’s taking (color-coded) but that doesn’t mean she’s not five minuets away from a mental breakdown. She’s living in a five-room apartment with her entire extended family (and that engineering student who got kicked out by his family, long story).

Anon, please never think delightful chengqing ethical dilemmas are off topic in my inbox. I do see Wen Qing a someone who is very used to functioning in high stress/low control circumstances, which I think makes her very good at grimly determining what she can do and triaging based on that, but also means she’s used to a black pit of anxiety and doom living within her at all times. “Can I put off telling my BFF I railed his estranged brother until after finals and if so, is it permissible to keep railing him in the interim” is so much more fun than trying to figure out exactly how complicit in your uncle’s megalomania taking over a supervisory office makes you. Jiang Cheng would last like four dates tops before failing to brush past the inevitable small talk about how many siblings you have and then crying on his hookup about how the answer is complicated now but he doesn’t want it to be. Wen Qing is absolutely in charge of the household taxes, and has as an unfortunate consequence of tax season already gotten drunk with Wei Wuxian and revealed that this dude she’s kind of half-seeing was a virgin but it’s chill, he’s very open minded and surprisingly flexible in multiple senses of the world. This is what she gets for saying yes to business majors just because they have nice eyes and long fingers. There’s always something wrong with them.

Trio in the cage

[sapphicdalliances]

in CQL when wen qing and jiang cheng went up a mountain and jiang cheng was blindfolded and wen qing was veiled that was a marriage metaphor Send post

[sapphicdalliances]

all groomsmen should be blindfolded and deceived on their wedding day and then immediately forced to partake in highly experimental surgery. all brides get to put their fists inside their new husbands. that’s consummation baby

He’s alternately sweet and domineering and shy and infuriating, and Wen Qing wants him anyway. But first, she tells him some things he needed to hear (just… not about his core…).
