Modern au Wei Wuxian dropping into xianxialand and seeing Jiang Cheng wielding Zidian and Sandu and drooling because mm this dream he's having of ChengCheng is so nice~
When Jiang Cheng turns and sees him he looks confused by Wei Wuxian's attire but Wei Wuxian just runs to him and jumps on him happily because he was going to enjoy this dream~ Maybe he could convince ChengCheng to dress like this when he woke up.
"Wei Wuxian!" Jiang Cheng says warningly and Wei Wuxian's heart speeds up because mmm 🤤 his brain is on a roll tonight that voice is hot.
"Best dream ever!" Wei Wuxian mutters and looks at Jiang Cheng flirtatiously. Jiang Cheng is gobsmacked at Wei Wuxian's audacity.
Before he could push Wei Wuxian off though Wei Wuxian leans in and kisses him and Jiang Cheng freezes.
Wei Wuxian notices and pulls back and pouts and whines, "Hubby kiss XianXian back!"
"What the hell are you doing Wei Wuxian?" he pushes Wei Wuxian away this time.
"ChengCheng I know you don't like public displays of affection but it's just us in this forest! How could I resist when you appear in my dream looking so delicious? Come on don't be shy~ give your XianXian a kiss!" Wei Wuxian says playfully, trying to kiss Jiang Cheng again.
"Wei Wuxian this isn't a dream, have you been cursed? Did you forget you're married to Lan Wangji?" Jiang Cheng said.. Wei Wuxian clearly wasn't in his right mind... though given that he was calling Jiang Cheng by name did this mean he dreamt of... of.. *this* kind of thing with him often?!
"Don't be silly Jiang Cheng why would I be married to Lan Zhan? Do you want Huaisang to kill me? Besides if this isn't a dream explain how you're using that fancy lightning whip? Obviously I'm dreaming of my precious hubby~ Don't try to dissuade me dream ChengCheng, i know you're mad at me for forgetting to change the cat litter but it was one time okay? I'll remember the next time! Don't deny me in my dreams too" Wei Wuxian pouts and tries to snuggle up to Jiang Cheng again.
"What does Huaisang have to do with this?" Jiang Cheng said, confused and trying to hold Wei Wuxian back without hurting him as his cultivation was poor now.
Wait.. why did Wei Wuxian not have any cultivation? And.. this wasn't Mo Xuanyu's face it was Wei Wuxian's! It took Jiang Cheng too long to realise this.
Was *he* the cursed one?!
"Dream ChengCheng have you forgotten oyou're life together?" Wei Wuxian said dramatically, "Of course Nie Huaisang will be mad if i tried to marry his husband! And I have you why would I do that anyway?"
Jiang Cheng tied up this Wei Wuxian with Zidian.
"Nie Huaisang isn't married to Lan Wangji, you are! And you'd know that if you were the real Wei Wuxian. What kind of yao are you?" he said fiercely.
"Ow.. that hurts... ChengCheng how could you be so cruel to your hubby 😭... also I'm amenable to playing with the whip but I didn't think you'd want to do that out in the forest! How about we go home first~!"
Jiang Cheng couldn't bring himself to kill the yao, or maybe it was just that he was cursed and seeing things... going back to Lotus Pier was probably the best course of action.. so he grabbed the tied up imposter Wei Wuxian and flew back to Lotus Pier.
"Oohhh this dream is so cool!"
The imposter was confused clearly.
He landed in Lotus Pier, while the imposter oohed and aahed, taking him straight to the infirmary to get himself checked for a curse before determining if this was a yao or what. "Sect leader, there's nothing wrong with you," said Healer Zhang,"You're perfectly fine, if a bit overworked." She looked at him disapprovingly.
Then she turned to examine the imposter.
"As for him... he's just a mortal. I don't know why he thinks he's Wei Wuxian, there's nothing wrong with him either."
"Uh ChengCheng this dream is getting a little uncomfortable," Wei Wuxian said, as he had been tied up a while with Zidian, "I didn't know you could feel pain in dreams... could we skip this and get to the good part?"
"Why do you think this is a dream?" he asked the imposter.
Healer Zhang had never met Wei Wuxian when he was in his original body and as such didn't know that Wei Wuxian did look like this in the past. This wasn't a random confused mortal, he was actually a copy of the og Wei Wuxian.
"Well obviously this is a dream, I already told you look at this whip! Besides maybe I watched too much Regret of Chunshan and am now dreaming of xianxia romance, but obviously none of this exists in reality."
Wei Wuxian found it weird he had to explain to his dream Jiang Cheng that this was dream. He thought he was having a nice dream but this one was just confusing.
Jiang Cheng was sexy and hot and Wei Wuxian wanted to dream of spring not confusion.. was this because he made Jiang Cheng mad so dream Jiang Cheng was not humoring him? This was his punishment to have Jiang Cheng and not be able to touch?! T-T
"Why can't the whip exist?"
"Jiang Cheng xianxia is not real, there are no such things as spiritual whips or cultivation.. but it doesn't matter! You're real and you're so hot and I'm real and also sexy so why don't we skip the filler scenes and get to the good part already!"
Jiang Cheng was utterly discombobulated because this Wei Wuxian made no sense.
But if Healer Zhang was right and this was a mortal... not a yao, not him being cursed.. then.. was this Wei Wuxian actually real like he claimed? He thought this was all a dream after all.. so how did he get here because Jiang Cheng knew it was not a dream. But because this world was 'impossible' and claimed to be fake by Wei Wuxian he thought he was dreaming.
But this Wei Wuxian kept referring to him as hubby and even said Lan Wangji and Nie Huaisang were married! Was it possible this Wei Wuxian was not even from their world?!
The demonic cultivator he had been tracking had died trying to power some array that looked like it was trying to call back the Yiling Laozu. Despite Wei Wuxian being alive, some sycophants didn't believe it was truly him because the Yiling Laozu and Hanguang-Jun were known enemies after all, he wouldn't marry that do gooder!
Maybe the array worked but because Wei Wuxian was alive in this time already (ie the Yiling Laozu was not dead so could not be summoned) the array must have pulled a Wei Wuxian from another time.
He questioned this Wei Wuxian some more and got some more confusing answers but it seemed to confirm his suspicions
He had to find a way to return this Wei Wuxian to his time.
Now if only Wei Wuxian would stop whining and pouting and pleading for his hubby to forgive him and batting his eyes flirtatiously, trying to seduce him that would be great! Wei Wuxian was convinced Jiang Cheng was his husband and that he was dreaming...
Jiang Cheng.. couldn't believe that another version of Wei Wuxian was married to him and not Lan Wangji..
(Wei Wuxian wormed his way into Jiang Cheng's heart and bed before Jiang Cheng managed to reverse the array and send him back to his own time)
It figures, he thought sadly, of course this Wei Wuxian didn't belong to him either so he couldn't keep him anyway.
As he went to walk away though, the array glowed again, and spit out another figure.
The figure stood up shakily and dusted himself off. He raised his head and locked eyes with Jiang Cheng.
"Oh," he smirked, "ChengCheng~ I've finally found you~!"
This Wei Wuxian sauntered up to him and before he could speak, pulled him into him and kissed him deeply.
"I've been looking all over for you"
Jiang Cheng tried to struggle but this Wei Wuxian was slightly stronger than him.
"Oh no you don't, you're not leaving my sight, no dying for you this time!" And Wei Wuxian caressed his face softly looking longingly at him.
And Jiang Cheng... well.. didn't Jiang Cheng miss his Wei Wuxian too?
"I missed you too," he said hoarsely.
Modern Wei Wuxian had made him acknowledge many things he never even knew he felt or desired (they had been married!)
When this Wei Wuxian wanted to marry Jiang Cheng he accepted, and it was a gobsmacked cultivation world that saw Sect Leader Jiang marry a random veiled cultivator one lovely day. They had no idea Sect Leader Jiang was in a relationship! And with a man!
The Yiling Laozu and Hanguang-Jun found him suspiciously familiar, but nobody could place who this talented individual was.
Jin Ling would look on with an enigmatic smile and refuse to answer any questions.
"Isn't it your birthday? Why are you giving me a gift?"
"Oh it's a gift for you that's for me," Wei Wuxian said, smiling brightly and waiting with bated breath for Jiang Cheng to open the package.
Jiang Cheng looked at him suspiciously but opened it up.
"Ahh don't hit me ChengCheng, unless you're using that Zidian replica!"
"What is the meaning of this?" Jiang Cheng said, red faced and looking at that shameless husband of his.
"Welllll you remember that dream I told you about? I commissioned this outfit for you~"
Jiang Cheng's face was like a tomato. Wei Wuxian had had some spicy dream about him in some xianxia setting (he really was watching too many of those dramas) and he'd worn some fancy purple robes and had a lightning whip and Wei Wuxian was very into it.
"And what if I don't wear it?"
Jiang Cheng sighed, "Fine!"
Ugh he was going to need help getting into these robes.
Wei Wuxian was perfectly happy to help him out both ways 😈
