26 - forehead kiss 😌
Maria, I’m embarrassed for both of us, but well, here we are! <3 In this ficlet, I’ve chosen for WWX to still have Mo Xuanyu’s golden core (like in the book), because I do whatever I want. Ha! Take THAT, China and your oppressive reincarnation bans!
*************
Lan Wangji’s eyes narrow in concentration as Bichen leaps forth to be clumsily parried by Suibian. “Again,” he says.
“Lan Zhan!” Wei Ying’s eyebrows are furrowed, his lips pouted like ripened berries that Lan Wangji wants to taste. Distracting. “Take it easy on me, I’m not a skylark to be hopping around so vigorously this early in the morning.”
“How many stars were up when you finally went to sleep last night?”
Wei Ying makes a noise that reminds Lan Wangji of a thumping rabbit. “I wasn’t watching the sky last night, was I?” He grins. Distracting and unhelpful. “How am I supposed to sleep with my gorgeous Hanguang-Jun lying in bed next to me?”
Lan Wangji shakes his head. “And how do you expect to grow Mo Xuanyu’s golden core if you don’t practice?” Before Wei Ying can reply, he presses onwards, “Again!”
This time Bichen is parried with a tad more alacrity. There was a time when their swordsmanship was a measure of their equality. Now it’s their hearts that have been weighed by the stars and found equal. He doesn’t need to fix Wei Ying because, golden core or not, to him, Wei Ying is already perfect. His facets all aligned in pristine symmetry like the leaves of a lotus flower, or the stellar dendrites of a snowflake. He only pushes him to train because he doesn’t know how many more times he can cradle his chosen one’s bleeding body in his arms and not be destroyed himself.
Bichen’s last two thrusts are parried with so much skill and strength that it almost takes Lan Wangji back to that rooftop, so many years ago.
“You’re improving,” he says, lowering his sword.
“You’re a taskmaster,” Wei Ying sighs, as he bends over and plants his hands into his own knees. “If you want to wear me out, I can think of much more pleasant ways of going about it.”
Bichen sheathed, Lan Wangji can’t help but take a step forward. He pulls Wei Ying up to his full height with his fingers tangled in his hair bun. He has already memorized every curve and line of this face, but he will never grow tired of looking at it.
“Lan Zhan?”
With his hand cupping the back of Wei Ying’s head, Lan Wangji pulls him gently into his arms, and as he sees his beloved’s eyes close and lips part on an involuntary sigh, he presses his own lips to Wei Ying’s forehead in a soft benediction. Suibian falls to the grass and Wei Ying sways into his arms like stalks of yarrow in the wind. With his arms wrapped around Lan Wangji’s neck, he rubs his forehead against Lan Wangji’s cheek like a domestic cat. Lan Wangji should really scold him for disrespecting the most loyal sword in the world like that, but instead, he wraps his arms around Wei Ying and begins to hum a familiar melody as the larks circle above their heads.
@solomonlittle look maria! :D

"my tortured priest darlings tomas ortega and marcus keane" ugh, i can't believe they're not coming back... :( oh and i'm part of the "too anxious to drive" team as well 😣
You know it’s your fault that i fell in love with them.And i couldn’t be happier about it after drumfred (or rather shitty writing) ripped my heart out.And there are still wonderful fics for them.Still such a shame they didn’t get another season or even just a special :’’
Let’s start a driving anxiety tumblr group ;D

...are you listening to uniq?
Shhh! I’m not listening to anything! I’m just keeping a very careful eye on my son’s extremely hypermobile hips and making a list of links for when he’s finally diagnosed with my connective tissues disease. IT’S ABOUT LOVE. And if “EOEO” happens to be playing in the background, THAT’S NOT MY FAULT, MARIA!
solomonlittle replied to your post “One 16. "I thought you were dead" kiss for wangxian please??”
Now we're even!! lol Love the mention of LWJ's ivory cheeks, they're CUTE. Also where would everyone be without wen ning ��
I think we can all agree, Wen Ning is the true hero of the tale. Where would these losers be without him? They’re clearly too gay to function without a supervisory Ghost General.

EL NOOOOOO I HATE HAVING THIS PIECE OF INFORMATION IN MY BRAIN SHSBDJS HOW DO I DELETE IT
MARIA, IF I KNEW, I WOULD’VE DELETED IT FROM MY OWN BRAIN BY NOW OMG OMG WHY POOR BICHEN
solomonlittle replied to your post: 26 - forehead kiss Maria, I’m embarrassed for...
ughdfghjk, soft, i love lwj helping wwx to grow that golden core back. also that “again!” definitely took me back, oh no <3
I have a THING for sword-fighting and the ghosts of Pirate Disgustoids will likely never let me rest. But I'm READY TO BE HEALED WITH THE POWER OF WANGXIAN.
