NMJ: JGS, I want to apologize for my brother's actions
NHS: there was nothing wrong with my actions
NMJ: I'm sorry he threw a jar of wine at you, JGS
NHS: I'm sorry that the second one missed, JGS
NMJ: and I'm sorry he called you a walking STD
NHS: it was an insult to STDs
WWX: wait you have kids?
JWY: yes. Why is that surprising?
WWX: No reason, are you married too?
JWY: of course.
WWX: who is she?
JWY: NHS, JGY, and LXC
WWX: what!? How?
JWY: I've a big--
LXC: heart, he has a big heart.

When Jiang Wanyin woke up next to a barely dressed Zewu-jun, he sighed in despair.
He couldn't believe this was happening again.
Carefully he got out of the bed, cleaned himself up, and dressed in robes he found in a closet.
Then he sat in a chair and waited for the
NMJ: why are you here!
Demonic cultivator JWY: I was invited, of course, *looking at LXC* by my future husband
NMJ: excuse me!?
LXC: Da-ge, we need his help...
NMJ: what did you do!?
LXC: what was necessary
#xicheng
LXC: a double date?
LWJ: mn
LXC: fine, but if I don't like him, I'm allowed to leave
LWJ: mn

WWX: LZ!
LWJ: WY!
JWY: I'm sorry, when they're together they forget that there's other people in the world. I'm JWY, WWX's brother, and you are?
LXC: yours 😍
#xicheng
"We're closed."
"Even for me?"
"It's especially closed for ex-boyfriends."
"Wanyin..."
"Crying won't get you out of this."
"My love..."
"I'll call a-jie."
"... just come home, we can talk about this."
"You said that bunnies were better than dogs."
"It's a m--"
LWJ: see? It says right here, xiongzhang has to marry SLJ
WWX: huh, he's right, I suppose you've to marry JC

(amnesia fic!)
"Are you sure you're not my boyfriend?"
Jiang Cheng sighed again, next to him his brother was laughing. He punched him, he wouldn't hit his sister who was giggling at his other side.
It was the fourth or fifth time Lan Huan asked the question. The poor
#xicheng
If the students are honest, they can say that professor Lan was extremely handsome. He was also really dorky, made extremely silly puns about music, and seemed to enjoy old people's hobbies.
So although they liked him well enough, there was the disappointment of him
JL: jiujiu, what's your best quality?
JWY: I'm a very faithful guy
WWX: you have three husbands
JWY: and I'm very faithful to all three of them
JL: da-jiu, same question?
WWX: I always know what I want!
JWY: it took you 13 years to realize you're in love with LWJ!
#xicheng
it's dumb
LXC: it's tradition to fight the elder of our family for the right to date us
JWY: like hand to hand?
LXC: well, any type of competition works
JWY: ... a contest of patience
LXC: against my uncle?
JWY: yeah, first to lose their cool, well, loses
LXC: mm
@ImaginarySnow_
JL: Mama!
JYL: a-Ying already called, you'll live in our memories
JZX: your siblings will carry your legacy
JL: you know how you always wanted my approval?
LXC: not that much 😊
JL: Jingyi! I'll give you fried chicken if you say you broke it!
LJY: *unaware of the danger* ok 😁
#xicheng
(kinda? Maybe? 😉)
"I'm in love with my brother's boyfriend."
Nie Mingjue and Meng Yao exchanged a look at that, Lan Huan kept his head in his hands, trying to hide his shame.
"What?"
"I'm in love with my brother's boyfriend."
"Nah, we heard you, is just... how did
#JiangCheng
One of the young and new disciples of YMJ, a war orphan, accidentally calling JWY "dad" during a mission.
He detected a resentful ghost, he simply wanted a little bit of validation. To make the man who had given him a chance proud.
"Did I do good, dad?"
LXC: and this is a picture of my boyfriend 🥰
NMJ: would
JGY: would
LXC: 🤨
--
JWY: I thought we were going to meet your friends
LXC: something happened, they're not in my life anymore
#xicheng
(soulmates, AU)
Jiang Cheng is fifteen when his soul mark forms, there's a training exercise and he's watching Lan Xichen, and for a moment he thinks what it'll be like if he kissed him.
It's a stray thought, one that he thinks amounts to nothing.
But his wrist burns
LXC: Wanyin, I'll ask you for the last time!!
JWY: no, I won't marry you.
LXC: ...
LXC: I'll come back tomorrow
JWY: I thought it was the last time?
LXC: last time today 😤
#xicheng
Jiang Wanyin opens his eyes, it takes him a moment to recognize where he is. The space is small and cold, he starts thinking that Wei Wuxian pranked him again and he's in a coffin. But the hard metal surface let's him know he's probably in a morgue.
"Very funny, Wei
#xicheng
hades/persephone au, sorta
"Xiongzhang! I have come to rescue you!!"
Jiang Wanyin, the god of the underworld, was on his throne, Lan Xichen, god of spring and nature, was resting with his head on his lap.
The god of the underworld looked up from his scroll at the man
#xicheng
?
"That's a really nice cat you have there, Zewu-jun."
The words were friendly, Wei Wuxian seemed to be narrowing his eyes to the cat.
Lan Xichen seemed confused but still smiled at his brother in law.
"He has been my companion since I entered seclusion."
He
WWX: we're definitely lost
MXY: we're gonna die in the middle of nowhere, I always knew you would be the cause of my death
WWX: stop being dramatic
MXY: we're going to die of exposure!
WWX: we're cultivators!
JWY: what are you two doing?
MXY: we're saved!
#xicheng
Coming out of his seclusion with the ability to read minds had been a shock to Lan Xichen.
Crossing a disciple who had kindly welcomed him back, but hearing him think *how weak must he was to fall for Lianfang-zun's machinations, and how cowardly it was to then hid in
#xicheng
abo, AxA
"No."
"Why not?"
"I'm an alpha, and you're--"
"Absolutely in love with you, Wanyin."
"--one too, and those relationships-- what!?"
"I'm in love with you."
"That's... I thought this was just about sex!"
"Nope, well... it's also a little bit about sex,
YZY: JYL got pregnant outside marriage, WWX eloped
YZY: at least I can count on JC, he's gonna be the proper one
JWY: so, I've three boyfriends?
YZY: you were supposed to be the good one!
JWY: They're heirs to the Nie, Lan and Jin fortunes
YZY: you're set for life, I approve
#xicheng
(really stupid, abo, alpha!LXC, alpha!JWY)
LXC, search history:
"How to date alpha"
"How to date alpha wnen alpha"
"How to date an alpha when you're an alpha"
"Alpha x alpha dating"
"How to tell friend you're in love with him"
Ok, stupid idea! JWY lives til the 21st century, in the hope of learning himself he studies psychiatry and psychology, pretty much since the beginning
Like he becomes a full on expert
And then one day he finds himself reborn back in time, but this time he knows everything thanks
"Lan Huan, we've been through this."
"I'm really drowning, Wanyin..."
"You taught me how to swim."
"... A-Yao and Huaisang got mouth to mouth."
"Huaisang ended up actually drowning, and Meng Yao at least pretended to drown in the deep end. You're in the shallow end."
"..."
Evil JWY, plan to control the Jianghu:
Step 1, bring NHS to his side:
NHS: yes, but you have to marry me
JWY: what!?
NHS: my brother keeps annoying me with training, I think I'll do better as the wife of a Sect Leader
Step 2, get JGY on his side:
JGY: ok
JWY: what do you
LXC: Wanyin 🥺
JWY: I said no
LXC: just a little bit
JWY: no, is a complete sentence
LXC: Wanyin is selfish
JWY: he's smart and enjoys his ice cream, and doesn't eat it in two bites like some people
LXC: we're married, married people share
JWY: ice cream wasn't in our vows
#xicheng
Lan Xichen was a champion, always prepared, with a winners mindset.
But knowing who the fencer for his next bout was had him trembling, and not precisely in fear.
It didn't help that a poster of Jiang Wanyin last magazine promotion was staring at him from the wall.
LXC: so, I might be in love with you
JWY: yes, I've known this for a while
LXC: but I was so subtle
JWY: you moved here, ostensibly to help with the rebuild, two years ago
JWY: helped by giving me loans out of your personal treasure
JWY: you told LXC I've feelings for him!!??
WWX: before you kill me! Here's what he wrote about you!
JWY: why does he say page 1 of 50!?
WWX: there's about 7 describing your eyes
I really love the idea of JL growing up to be really tall (with insane back muscles cause archery, y'all)
When he notices it LJY hits a wall, a door, a table, the wall again, it takes him three attempts just to leave
LSZ is in full system restore, his brain is out for business

"Run this by me again?
You're in Lotus Pier, dressed in red and wearing a veil... why?"
"I came here to marry Wanyin!"
"Right... you realize that I'm Wanyin, right?"
"Yes?"
"I'm a bachelor, I've a temper, I've been blacklisted by matchmakers..."
"You won't be a

"Wait, you're marrying the guy you love, but not cause you love each other?"
Lan Huan sighed again. It was the fourth time Nie Mingjue asked him to clarify the reason for this wedding.
"He needs this. And so do I."
Lan Huan needed to be married to inherit Cloud
Waiting room quick fic
#xicheng
When they've a fight (a discussion, a difference of opinions really) LXC tightens the lids of all the jars with his Lan arm strength, and goes to Da-ge's house, sure that JWY will call him, ready to apologize so he can enjoy his daily peanut
#xicheng
LXC: look, you might be a bad boy, but I promise my uncle I'll be chaste until marriage
JWY: I've a motorcycle, sleeves tattoos, and both my nipples are pierced
LXC: on the other hand, promises are made to be broken
LQR: what!?
WWX: all together now! This is the song that never ends...

LQR: your future husband is dangerous

The cat is a small, scrawny, dirty thing, that keeps crying trying to get the attention of the passerbys. The rain isn't letting up though, so no one is stopping.
Except Jiang Wanyin.
"Jiang-zongzhu?"
He doesn't answer to his disciple, he just grabs the small

'Try no to fall in love with my brother!'
Those had been Wei Ying's words before letting Lan Huan go.
Lan Zhan and Wei Ying were too overwhelmed with wedding preparations and he had offered his help while visiting.
The favor that he was doing for them was going with
HC: you have a son?
PM: yes
HC: the usurper currently sitting on gege's lap?
PM: he's 3, are you going to fight a baby?
JWY: you pretty
XL: ☺️ Thank you, Jiang Cheng
HC: I might 😠
#xicheng
LXC: what are you doing here?
JWY: kidnapping you
LXC: I'm in seclusion?
JWY: *grabs LXC, throws him over his shoulder, and slaps his ass* not anymore! Now, be a good hostage
LXC: 😳
The three husbands describing JWY:
JGY: seems dispassionate, but he carefully describes every feature, from the two moles near his ear, to the way his eyes look depending on the light
NHS: as descriptive as a-Yao, but with more uses of similes and metaphors
LXC: beautiful 😭
#xicheng
This was embarrassing, Lan Huan wasn't the kind of guy to be so unprepared. But he had trusted science instead of his own two eyes, and has believed, stupidly, that it wasn't going to rain.
As such, even if the day was cloudy, he had forgotten to check if his umbrella
#xicheng
"Uncle, I need something to confess to you."
The look of his oldest nephew, and Sect Leader, was worrying him. He looked devastated.
Lan Qiren was temporarily sent back to last year, when his nephew had forced himself to seclusion in his Hanshi.
Was his nephew going
#xicheng
The sound of glass breaking in the other room of the Hanshi took Lan Xichen away from his paperwork, quickly he got up going to see what had happened.
Getting there he found Wanyin, sitting at the table with his own paperwork, his three tails moving in an almost

"What do you mean there's two rooms?"
"That's what the reservation asks? Two rooms."
"I asked for one bed!"
"I changed it."
"Wanyin!? What --? Why--?"
"Remember when you ate my ice cream? Never do that again."
"B- b- but... there was supposed to be only one bed."
#xicheng
a little bit
"Who's that guy?"
"Who?"
"The one next to Lan Qiren, he looks familiar."
"That's my cousin."
"Your-- what!?"
"My cousin? Lan Xichen and jiujiu's son?"
"He looks older."
"I know, he's just a year older but everyone keeps saying he's so mature."
WWX: you seem like a good kid
OYZZ: my baba says the same thing
WWX: who's your baba?
JWY: hi, kid
OYZZ: baba!
WWX: just how many kids do you have?
JWY: at least one for each husband
#xicheng
"No."
"No?"
"I'm sorry a-Hu-- Lan Xichen, my answer is no."
"But, Wanyin, don't you want me too?"
"I think it's better that you don't shackle yourself to me in this way..."
"Shackle?"
"You deserve better than settling for the second option."
"Wait, what?"
Short
#xicheng
Nie Mingjue took a deep breath for the umpteenth time, he rubbed his face with his hands and stared at his best friend and right hand man in this war against the Wen.
"You asked for help from the Jiang Sect?"
"Yes." Lan Xichen answered again.
"A clan of known
#xicheng
"An arranged marriage?"
Lan Qiren sighed, he hadn't wanted this option, but their Sect was losing wealth quickly, and their strict rules didn't lend themselves for recruitment, which didn't help either.
Modern times required a change that the Lan hadn't adapted to.
#xicheng
"There's nothing wrong with it, everyone has a crush on him."
He glared a Meng Yao, the guy was smiling and patting his back in what it seemed a condescending manner.
But at least he was trying to console Jiang Cheng, which was the only reason he wasn't breaking his
#xicheng
When Jiang Cheng opened the door, a beautiful tall, dark haired man muscled his way inside, his words made everything stop.
"I really need you to have sex with me and make me forget about this day," when he finished taking off his coat, he seemed to stop and look

NMJ: so, Huaisang, do you even have a plan for the rest of your life!?

"You're trying to distract me."
To that be the first thing Jiang Wanyin said to him after inviting him to Caiyi Town to see the sights... the young man was perceptive.
"Why do you say that?"
"Lan Xichen, the future leader of the Lan Sect, wanting to spend time

"Da-ge, why is Jiang Cheng in my kitchen wearing a bow around his neck?"
"Is he naked?"
"Excuse-- no!"
"I told him to show a little bit of skin... I guess you'll have to work for it."
"Da-ge, again, why is Jiang Cheng in my kitchen?"
"He's making you breakfast."

"Sorry, neither of you are on the list."

They've been together for two years when he coughs flowers. It's the second time, and the same man.
It's not hard for Jiang Cheng to come to an easy conclusion, his boyfriend doesn't love him.
There's a sadness at seeing daffodil petals on the

JWY seeming the all buttoned up one in the office, always with his shirt well pressed, and a waistcoat

"It's 3am, what the fuck are you doing?"
"It's 3am, what the fuck are you doing?"

"The window was unlocked, so it was mostly entering?"

JWY: ... I do like the little hearts you drew around the words

Jiang Cheng reached the table where his friends were sitting, sat next to his brother, and hit the table with his head several times.
Next to him the always kind Wen Qing tried to stop him from hurting himself, while Wei Ying continued to eat his sandwich as if this

"What's this?"
"My ribbon."
"Right... what the hell do I want it for?"
"You said-- you said you needed more support, and help, so--"
"What I meant was letting me join your brotherhood, but you and your sworn brothers didn't think I was good enough."
#xicheng
When Lan Xichen had heard that the Yunmeng Jiang Sect was open on recruiting rogue cultivators, he couldn't help but be tempted to give it a try.
He imagined that if he had attempted, his uncle, who he had never met, wouldn't welcome him into Gusu Lan, and Cloud
#xicheng
short
Jiang Wanyin: fine, I'll accept your offer of resources, what do you want in exchange
Lan Xichen: that you marry me and put at least five babies inside me
Jiang Wanyin: married!?? Five children!!??
Lan Xichen: not all the children have to be at the same time
#xicheng
"Can you imagine dating someone like that? With that kind of temper? You'll end up fighting everyday, I don't think that's how a relationship should be."

"What!?"
Everything in the coffee shop stopped at Lan Huan's surprised shout, though to be fair seeing a man

"Hey babe, what's this ring for?"
"You didn't see any ring!"

"But--"
"We're going to go to the gazebo in the middle of the park
#zhancheng
"I think Lan Zhan wants to date you."
Jiang Cheng's tone was morose, it wasn't the first time that a guy he liked preferred his more charismatic brother.
Although, for some reason, Wei Ying was giving him the most incredulous look.
"Really? How did you figure?"
#xicheng
(angst)
The hairpin was beautiful. White jade, with a dragon carving, and two little charm each hanging on his own chain.
Lan Xichen had recognized one of the flowers as a lotus, the other was a little bit harder to make out with how Jiang Wanyin kept playing with it.
#xicheng
(modern au)
"Do you believe in soulmates?"
The guy who asked that had no reason to be with him on a roof in the middle of the night, nor was he dressed for it.
While Jiang Cheng was dressed in black cargo pants, a purple long sleeved shirt and a black tactical vest,
"The house feels weird without you..."
"I'll be back after I finish closing."
"Okay! I love you! I'll make dinner by the time you're back!"

"How about that one?"
Jin Ling watched the man Lan Jingyi was pointing, he was sort of handsome, but not handsome enough. Also, his clothes were ill fitting, and clashed in a very ridiculous way.
His uncle deserved the best, a man who was almost as good

When Jiang Fengmian woke up that morning, and saw his wife sleeping next to him he smiled.
He let his hand caress her cheek, and spend some time admiring how beautiful Ziyuan was.
He got up, got dressed and set up to make breakfast for his family. And while waiting for them

When Lan Huan told him they needed to talk he knew that they were over. He didn't need fancy speeches, or platitudes. As such, he had told him that anything they needed to talk about could be done through the phone. To his surprise, Lan Huan had insisted on meeting at a

"I think we might have to hold hands. This movie is far too scary."
Just his luck.
He managed to get a date with the guy he liked, and he had to stay home with an upset stomach.
Usually he was good at surviving Wei Wuxian's more daring dishes, but he had found a chili
#xicheng
Lan Huan tried, as a matter of principles, to give the benefit of the doubt and to be nice to everyone.
But it was hard when people like Jiang Cheng were around.
But the guy was altogether mannerless.
His classmate was younger than him, but was in the same class, so
