Summary:
“Ah, Lan Zhan, you will not believe what kind of divination I got! Now I feel embarrassed for dragging you here.”
Lan Wangji raised an eyebrow, an unpleasant feeling in his chest. There was a distinct impression of Wei Ying’s dramatics hiding true disappointment.
“You know what she said?” Wei Ying asked, with levity in his voice that was so perfect Lan Wangji could have been fooled, had it not been for the way Wei Ying kept his gaze away from him. “I’m never going to get married!”
or, lwj and wwx visit a fortune teller

Status:completed
“Ah. This man will bring Master Lan some heartache, I am afraid,” she said, and with the words, Lan Wangji couldn’t help but freeze, eyes widening ever so slightly. How could she know? Lan Wangji’s heartbeat was suddenly going out of rhythm. A guess such as this from a fraud would be risky, even insulting to an everyday customer. How could she know that his love was a man?
~~
according to the fortune teller, Wei Ying would not get married, and Lan Wangji would. A happy marriage, the woman had described it. How could a marriage be happy, if it was not with Wei Ying? Lan Wangji felt sick thinking about it. The woman had been right; his love was both deep and devoted. It would be a betrayal against both himself and Wei Ying to move on to someone new.
~~
Was there a person in the sects who could compare to Wei Ying? Was there another person walking the earth who could make his heart ache so maddeningly? The thought was unimaginable.

wwx: will i have a wife? fortune teller, getting a thousand visions of wwx calling himself lwj's wife: no wwx: elaborate fortune teller: i don't want to
😂😂😂
i think i made a post about this already, but i think it's really important to understanding both of them and their relationship that (in the novel) the iconic part of Wei Wuxian's first impression on Wen Ning wasn't being kind and friendly to him, after meeting him practicing alone, and wasn't the mere fact of niceness.
and it wasn't standing up for him to his shitty cousin and talking him up, and making sure he got a chance to show off, either.
it was that after Wen Ning choked under pressure and fumbled that chance and made Wei Wuxian look stupid for championing him, Wei Wuxian was not even a little bit mad at him. it did not even occur to Wei Wuxian to be mad at him. most people would be mad at that point! he clearly expected to get yelled at!
but Wei Wuxian was so far from that kind of insecurity he did not even experience these events as humiliating, and he thereby revealed he had not taken those steps to build up Wen Ning on his own behalf, with any selfish motive, but purely from the unfiltered impulse to help.
Wei Wuxian did not in the least feel that having taken Wen Ning's 'side' (unsolicited, probably almost entirely unwanted) entitled him to anything from Wen Ning.
Wen Ning actually has high standards! it was not the little bit of kindness or the brashness that won him over, it was the fact that that kindness persisted undisturbed after Wen Ning provided the provocation of failure.
It's very important to my understanding of all three characters that Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yanli see Wei Wuxian as their sibling, and he sees them as his. But I think it's also important that he is not their sibling, legally or socially.
When Jin Zixuan snaps "If you like Jiang Yanli so much, why don't you ask her father if you can marry her", I think the implication is pretty clear that this is in fact a thing Wei Wuxian could have done if they'd felt that way about each other. (And Madam Yu would no doubt have flipped a table at the "son of a servant" daring to suggest such a thing, but Jiang Fengmian would probably have been delighted.) No one reacts to this comment like JZX just said something insane or implied WWX is into incest.
Mdzs as a d&d game.
Dm: You are dropped into the Burial Mounds
Wwx: Can I survive this?
Dm: Make a constitution roll
Wwx: Nat 20
Dm: Alright, you survive. Now tell me how
Jc: I try to prove that it's Wei Wuxian
Dm: Roll for perception and charisma
Jc: 15 and 3
Dm: While there is almost no doubt in your mind that Mo Xuanyu is actually Wei Wuxian, you have no real means to prove it. You have to let the group leave
Lwj: I drag Wei Ying to the inn
Wwx: Hey! How come he gets to know who I am without a perception check?
Dm: Because you practically told him
Lwj: I would like to seduce Wei Ying
Dm: Roll for charisma
Lwj: 18
Dm: Alright. You tell Wei Wuxian in as simple terms as your drunk self can manage, how much he means to you. Wei Wuxian, roll for perception
Wwx: My dice just rolled off the table and into the trash
Dm: Unfortunately, the love of your life is stupid
“To me, the one basking in infinite glory is you, the one fallen from grace is also you. What matters is you, and not the state of you.”
I believe Hua Cheng came to understand this after the fall of XianLe!
When Xie Lian saved Hong Hong er, he was still just a kid. He didn’t see Xie Lian as a person, but rather his prince or his god, and mainly his savior. This savior of his, in his eyes, was a light that couldn’t be extinguished, an invincible hero (which is expected from a little boy’s perspective). It’s after the fall of XianLe that Hua Cheng probably truly realizes that while his prince is still very much a light, his light, that light could absolutely dim. The illusion faded, and he finally realized: the crown prince of XianLe, the darling of the heavens, his highness who pleased the gods, and the one who saved him is not invincible. His god, now brutally exposed as Xie Lian, also needs protection.
Ghost fire Hua Cheng is when his motive was solidified, since.. he gently tells Xie Lian himself. I’m not a detective. But then “Wu Ming” comes along, and the fact that he sticks around while Xie Lian constantly berates him is the ultimate proof that Hua Cheng only sees Xie Lian now, whether he is a prince, a calamity, or an omen of misfortune. Seeing Xie Lian as “his savior” does not change through his growth, though. It only evolves into something deeper, “his Xie Lian.”
but that’s just me idk
Been having thoughts about modern au 15(?) yr old lonely teen Mo Xuanyu who lives alone (and getting by via hush money from local asshole billionare Jin Guangshan) semi-accidentally summoning yllz wei wuxian via demotic ritual
(He didnt really think it would actually work, he was mostly just trying to cope)
one (1) yiling laozu wakes up in Mo Xuanyu’s shitty apartment and decides that if No-One Else Is Going To Parent This Child He Will (He is coping. Will he look at the Horror of waking up in a completely different world from your own with nothing left of your family but old fairytales? No. There Is A Child That Needs Planting!)
Cue the adventures or Wei Wuxian and the wonders of cutting Coupons, learning about facebook and attending Parent-Teacher confrences as Mo Xuanyu’s guardian
Found Family, all that jazz. Give Mo Xuanyu more hugs and Wei Wuxian more children. Throw him in a sea of toddles. (He is one of them. XianXian is three)
Over time mxy gets some actual friends (the juniors) and when they finally go over to mxy’s house wwx is there, casually talking with a ghost (The ghost is teaching wwx about late-stage capitalism. Wei wuxian agrees that a revolution is totally important but that he probably can’t create a talisman that incites systemic change, as that might veer into mind-control territory but that He Can Kill A Billionare)
Headcanon: Mo Xuanyu’s spice tolerance is actually about the same as Wei Wuxian’s (why else would he be able to eat his own food so easily in canon? Spice tolerance builds over time right???) So Wei Wuxian’s cooking doesn’t kill him actually. (They bond about it)
It does murder just about everyone else, though. Jingyi is offended on behalf of his tastebuds.
Eventually wwx meets lwj and the others (wen ning!!!! Baby wen ning!!!! I want to believe that he was able to move on someday because i would cry if he had to be alone as a corpse forever) (mayhaps??? Idk i havent thought that far) but anyway wangxian happens and so Mo Xuanyu gets two insufferable parents who care about him very much <3
that boy is mine
she knows
