#hating separation

I think Jiang Cheng is actually similar to Lan Wangji in that he also shows affection through giving gifts, though for mostly different reasons. 

Like, Jiang Cheng’s demonstrably bad at expressing his feelings with words, and I also think that the most positive aspect of his own personhood, for him, is his status and power and wealth. That role he’s inherited, and the security that comes with it, are the cushioning for the festering pit of self-loathing inside him. And so his outward behaviour towards other who matter to him often manifests as spending money on them. 

This manifests in a particular way with Wei Wuxian post-canon, because Jiang Cheng hasn’t lost his competitive impulse towards him and subconsciously feels his money and position give him something of an edge over this person he’s always been compared unfavourably to. Also he’s just in major “WE CAN’T LET WEI WUXIAN KNOW WE LIKE HIM” mode and so he defaults to passive-aggressively dragging him off to the tailor shop saying “you’re too scruffy, you’ll embarrass me dressed like this” and then commissioning five expensive sets of robes for him.

MDZS to me is still one of the best and most wonderful series that is such a joy to both read and write fan content for. I still remember how much fun I had writing Hating Separation and Picking up the Pieces. Thank you all once again!!

Hating Separation (FMV) || Jiang Cheng

Author: Earl Hatter

One great thing about Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng having birthdays within a week of each other is that it’s another opportunity for Jiang Cheng to passive-aggressively show affection post-canon. He’s like “you HAVE to come to my birthday party. I’ll be offended if you don’t” and WWX is like “since when have you celebrated your birthday” and he gets to Lotus Pier and discovers it’s also a party for him

A/N: So sorry about the delay!!! My health took a downhill turn (not Covid related thankfully). But I'm a lot better now and wanted to finish this.

Firstly, thank you everyone to those that kudos, bookmarked, subscribed and commented! And thank you to those supporting Hating Separation, which just hit over 900 kudos! Thank you all so much!

There were so many deleted scenes and rewrites that I had to deal with in this chapter that it almost drove me crazy, but at least it's finally done. Sorry that it's a bit shorter than I originally intended.

Sorry once again for the delay and I hope you like it!

The part 1 to the kinda-sequel to Hating Separation is here!

And I know I said one-shot! I know, I'm sorry! It’s going to be a two-shot because there's just a lot of content I want in it so now it's A LOT bigger than I intended this to be so that's why I needed to split it.
