Askbox is currently closed as I work my way through these older asks
Hey there! For the sleep deprivation prompts, if you’re in the mood to have Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian exhibit some care for each other? How about “…What was I doing?” Thank you and have a great day!^^
I am always in the mood for some brotherly feels!!! I hope you are having a great day too!
Jiang Cheng wakes up to a loud crash from the kitchen.
“Fucking what,” he mumbles into his pillow, debating for a short moment to simply let whoever just broke in rob them, when he remembers that it could also be Wei Wuxian.
He had still been furiously working on his project for the company when Jiang Cheng had gone to be bed, and now that Jiang Cheng thinks about it, it seems more likely that Wei Wuxian is the cause of the noise instead of a random robber.
“That better not have been my favourite mug,” Jiang Cheng grumbles into the pillow as he pushes himself out of bed and stumbles over to the door.
There isn’t any light on anywhere in the apartment that Jiang Cheng can see, but the living-room is lit by the artificial blue of a computer screen and Jiang Cheng heaves out a sigh.
Either Wei Wuxian fell asleep over his work, or--and this really is the more likely scenario--he’s still working.
Jiang Cheng makes a detour through the living-room and peers at the screen of the laptop and frowns when he sees mostly senseless babbling on there. Jiang Cheng isn’t sure if Wei Wuxian fell asleep on the keyboard or if he can seriously make sense of this, but he knows his brother, so he saves all the progress without changing a thing and then he powers the laptop down.
Clearly Wei Wuxian is more than ready for bed.
Finally, Jiang Cheng makes his way over to the kitchen. There hasn’t been another noise, which makes a tiny spark of worry grow in his chest, and so when he reaches it, he slams his hand down on the light switch.
He himself winces at the sudden light, but he forgets all about that when Wei Wuxian yelps and stumbles a little bit.
“Ow,” Wei Wuxian whines and presses his eyes closed so the truly epic eyeroll Jiang Cheng gives him goes unnoticed.
“What the fuck are you doing?” Jiang Cheng snaps at Wei Wuxian as he eyes the shards of a ceramic bowl on the kitchen floor.
He wants to berate Wei Wuxian for breaking a bowl yet again, when he realizes that Wei Wuxian is still standing in the middle of the shards and that he’s not wearing any shoes.
“Don’t move,” Jiang Cheng orders him sharply and probably just to spite Jiang Cheng Wei Wuxian turns around towards him.
“...What was I doing?” Wei Wuxian asks him, and he doesn’t sound fully awake.
“Hell if I know,” Jiang Cheng grumbles as he moves to get a broom. “But don’t you dare move!” he snaps again, when Wei Wuxian lifts his foot as if he wants to walk just straight through the shards.
“Oi, you’re so mean to me,” Wei Wuxian complaints and Jiang Cheng levels him with a look.
It really is too late for this kind of shit.
“Say that again and see if I care if you cut open your feet,” Jiang Cheng threatens him, as he carefully swipes the floor right in front of Wei Wuxian.
He doesn’t bother picking the shards up, and any kind of more thorough cleaning will have to wait for the morning, because it’s the middle of the night and Jiang Cheng is tired, goddammit.
“Come here,” he instructs Wei Wuxian and takes his hand to guide him through the path he cleaned for him. “What the hell do you think you’re doing?” Jiang Cheng asks him once again when they stand in the living-room and Jiang Cheng made sure that Wei Wuxian didn’t cut his feet, and Wei Wuxian stares at him with big eyes.
Eyes that are decidedly bloodshot and Jiang Cheng swears he’s going to wrangle Wei Wuxian into bed if he doesn’t go there on his own.
“I think--,” Wei Wuxian slowly starts, “I wanted to make some coffee.”
“With a bowl?” Jiang Cheng incredulously asks and Wei Wuxian shrugs.
“I figured the bigger the pot the less trips to the kitchen I have to make.”
Jiang Cheng fights the urge to facepalm at that, and instead grips Wei Wuxian’s shoulder.
“Didn’t it occur to you to, I don’t know, maybe--,” he starts, but get’s cut off when Wei Wuxian makes a delighted noise.
“Use the coffee pot as my mug, Jiang Cheng, I’m so stupid!”
“Go to bed!” Jiang Cheng yells at him and Wei Wuxian blinks confusedly at him.
“Why would I? I’m not done yet,” Wei Wuxian protests and then looks around, clearly in search of his laptop.
“Oh no!” he breathes out when he sees it shut down and closed. “My progress.”
He sounds like he’s seconds away from crying and Jiang Cheng pinches the bridge of his nose.
“I saved it all, I’m not completely stupid,” he mutters and then turns Wei Wuxian around and bodily pushes him towards his own room.
“And you are going to bed now,” he tells a protesting Wei Wuxian and doesn’t care much for his attempts to turn back around and go straight back to work.
“I can’t,” Wei Wuxian says and struggles in his grip, “I have to get it done, I’m not finished, let go of me Jiang Cheng!”
“Wei Wuxian, for the love of everything, if you do not go to bed right now, I’m going to knock you out,” Jiang Cheng hisses at him, because he knows that this is the second night in a row that Wei Wuxian decided to work rather than sleep.
And for all that he napped during the day, he didn’t have more than two consecutive hours and Jiang Cheng will sit on him if that is what it takes to get him to sleep.
“You’re always so mean to me,” Wei Wuxian complains. “I’m going to tell shijie.”
“See if I care,” Jiang Cheng gives back, just as he pushes Wei Wuxian into his room, and secretly he hopes Wei Wuxian does tell A-jie.
She’ll be on Jiang Cheng’s side, he knows it.
“Jiang Cheng, I don’t want to sleep,” Wei Wuxian tries again. “I have really good ideas at this time of the night, you know that.”
“Oh yeah?” Jiang Cheng says and pushes Wei Wuxian down on the bed. “Tell me one of them.”
There is a very telling silence when Wei Wuxian just blinks up at him and despite everything Jiang Cheng has to bite back a smile.
“Drink coffee straight from the pot?” Wei Wuxian eventually offers and Jiang Cheng fights the laugh that bubbles up at that.
“You are a hazard to your own health,” he instead tells Wei Wuxian and wrangles him under the covers. “And I will not stand for it. Sleep, or I’ll make you.”
“As if you could,” Wei Wuxian gives back, but his voice is already slurred and by the time Jiang Cheng pulls the blanket over him, he’s already fast asleep.
Jiang Cheng lets out a deep breath at that, irritated beyond belief, because he definitely is awake now, but he also pushes Wei Wuxian’s hair out of his face and tucks the blanket around his shoulders more securely.
Then he goes back to the kitchen and closes the door, before he stops in the living-room again.
He gets a pen and a sticky note and scrawls a Shards in the kitchen, BE CAREFUL. Eat before you work, you moron on it and sticks it to the laptop before he goes back to his own bed.
Which has long since gone cold. Sometimes Jiang Cheng really hates Wei Wuxian.
~*~*~
Jiang Cheng wakes up when a body wriggles itself under his cover.
“Go away,” Jiang Cheng complaints as he tries to pull the blanket closer to his own body, but Wei Wuxian is relentless, and in the end they are pressed together under the blanket.
“You’re cold,” Jiang Cheng grumbles but he puts his head on Wei Wuxian’s shoulder.
He’ll warm up faster like this.
“I figured it out,” Wei Wuxian lowly tells him and Jiang Cheng blinks up at him.
“How to drink coffee straight from the pot? Don’t do it in my bed.”
“Rude,” Wei Wuxian says and flicks his forehead. “The problem. It was right there in my babbling notes, so thank you for saving all of that.”
“Whatever,” Jiang Cheng mutters. “Did you cut yourself on the shards?” he then asks because he knows Wei Wuxian and despite the fact that he usually goes straight for his laptop first thing in the morning, there is always the possibility that on this day, he decides to be a functional human being and get some food first.
“Found your note,” Wei Wuxian tells him. “I cleaned it all up. I made breakfast, too, if you’re hungry.”
“Mostly I’m tired, because some idiot made me crawl out of my bed in the middle of the goddamn night,” Jiang Cheng gives back and Wei Wuxian chuckles at that.
“And this idiot is really grateful for it,” he gives back. “I made pancakes.”
“Ugh,” Jiang Cheng replies to that, but he figures if Wei Wuxian really made pancakes, a trip to the kitchen might be worth it.
“Made some with extra chocolate, just for you,” Wei Wuxian goes on, and now that is just pure bribery.
“Did you break something else?” Jiang Cheng asks, suspicion clear in his voice and Wei Wuxian laughs at that.
“I didn’t, I promise I didn’t!” he gives back. “It’s just--a thank you,” he finally admits and Jiang Cheng is too tired to roll his eyes at him.
He hopes it comes across anyway.
“No need to be like that, I just wanted to do something nice for you,” Wei Wuxian complaints and finally, Jiang Cheng pushes himself up.
“There better be coffee,” he threatens as he climbs over Wei Wuxian to get out of bed.
“I even poured it into a mug,” Wei Wuxian promises him and Jiang Cheng can’t help himself, he huffs out a laugh at that.
“You better,” he says over his shoulder and leaves Wei Wuxian right there in his bed.
The pancakes are calling to him and those are much more important.
Now with some wonderful, adorable fanart!

{Buy me a kofi}
ur post was at the top of my dash so have some external pressure from a complete stranger, good luck and have a nice day!
Thank you, kind stranger, I will take this external pressure!
AHHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH
I'm so glad you like it tbh the reason I don’t particularly like writing AUs is bc no matter what, the characters end up being OOC like it’s almost impossible to have them grow and develop in a different environment and have them turn out exactly the way they did in canon, so I’m always glad to know I haven’t strayed too far off and that people still like them after I’ve taken some liberties <3
Hiii I’m not sure if this is the sort of thing you are looking for (or if you already know it) but “the necromancer’s fairytale” by iliacquer is aptly named and has a truly gorgeous dark fairytale aesthetic in its worldbuilding! (Absolutely heed the tags.) /works/23501860
Lol that is actually one of my favourite ones! :D I’ve read it a while ago, and I’m still charmed by it. The warnings are no joke though.
I hope you don’t mind me publishing this as a rec. ♥
Thank you so much, though!
i keep trying to figure out how to tell you how much i love your shattered mirrors au while also conveying that it hurts me a lot but in an emotionally satisfying way and my brain keeps coming back with.... it keeps shattering my heart.... so yeah. !!!! thank you for my life
ahhhhhh
I’m glad it’s doing its job haha I do enjoy reading everyone’s reactions to it and seeing if they’re hurting just as much as I am while writing it :33
A playlist for sitting in a parked car with a very dear friend at 1am in the winter and planning a route to a place where you could arrive by sunrise and desperately wanting to just start the car and leave and drive through the night but neither of you are spontaneous enough

2. 1000 Miles Per Hour : Ok Go
3. Marching Bands of Manhattan : Death Cab for Cutie
