modern wangxian au in which they are put into an escape room, by none other than nhs and jc. and their session is paid by wen qing because she said, “just fucking get those two together.” so what better way than to have the two of them being stuck in an escape room game.
there are several escape room themes and wwx chooses one that's called "grandmaster of demonic cultivation" because
wwx: it's so right up my alley, lan zhan. dEMoNIc
so this GDC theme will have several rooms, one connecting to the other, and will have sub-themes: gusu library,
burial mounds, nightless city. wwx and lwj have to work hand in hand to figure out just how they can progress, and ultimately complete the challenge. it requires teamwork and most importantly, mutual understanding and communication.
will they overcome this challenge? and the challenges they have in their hearts?
yes. for wwx and lwj are stronger together. it seems that the two are the only ones to have completed GDC escape room without any help from the staff. and this means that they're #1 on the wall of
fame!!!! (because yes wangxian powerful together no questions asked)
as a tradition, the winners are required to take a polaroid photo and they'll be writing their own messages on it! this photo will be stuck on the wall of fame, and extra ones would be printed for them to
bring home for keepsake.
photo taking also includes many props where they can use to pose with. and wwx is totally stoked, because 1) they just won the escape room, together!!! 2) lwj may have asked him to go on a *real* date before they exited the final stage of GDC theme
3) they.. sort of kissed? hehe
so yes there they are at the photo taking corner! the staff counts down, 3, 2, 1, smile! but neither wwx nor lwj is looking at the camera because they are looking at each other.
wwx wears a smile so big it stretches from ear to ear, and lwj looks at him so softly, as if he is going to melt (he probably did). even after the staff tells them that the polaroid has been taken, they ARE still looking at each other??? it's okay, they are in lov your honour.
"lan zhan, what message are you going to write on the polaroid?" wwx asks as he hands lwj a black marker pen.
lwj doesn't reply and just takes the pen in his hand.
“lan wangji was here," he writes.
he then slides the marker back to wwx, "what about you, wei ying?"
“wei wuxian was also here”.
they exchange a smile that only their hearts can understand.
together, they pasted their polaroid on the wall of fame.
"we look good together, don't we, lan zhan?"
"we do."
there it is, their polaroid together.
wwx looking at lwj, and lwj looking back at wwx. their props of choice? lwj is holding a chicken plushie, seemingly wanting to hand it to wwx. and wwx's prop? a fluffy, white rabbit plushie that he's hugging so tightly.
lwj wishes it was him that wwx's hugging. but for now, he's grateful. what's happened today between them, and for them, has been nothing short of amazing. tomorrow is another day, another new day.
-end!-
is this the shortest threadfic you've ever read or is this the shortest? huhuhu very self indulgent because i love escape rooms (spent a bombbb on them but they are so fun and rewarding!!!). might come to an ao3 fic near you and titled "no escaping love" because you cant
escape love, especially when two are fated to be together no matter what happens. thank u for making it down here!!!
also me to @Cosmicmilktea: sa, shall we make them not complete the challenge and wwx just nope out of it and tell the staff "get me the f out of here because
this lan wangji and i are not getting anywhere with this escape room?"
sasa: W H Y
W . H . Y
N O
me: okay good ending it is.

modern wangxian au where lwj is a renowned hand model who is hired by the biggest companies in china. whether it be jewelleries, watches, cuff links, suits, ties, skincare, lwj is always the brand’s first option.
wwx, a famous photographer from yunmeng, that only does portrait
shoots, has been hired by suit&tie. it’s one of the biggest, if not the biggest, men’s wear company in the whole of gusu. they’re launching an entirely new line of men’s wear. and since wwx has always wanted to delve into something different from portrait shoots, he accepts this
project. lwj on the other hand, has always only been a hand model but anyone and everyone in the industry knows how good-looking he is. he initially thought he would just need to do his usual hand-modelling for suit&tie but since nhs is a childhood friend, he’s agreed to do a

wangxian au in which lwj and wwx are childhood friends, and they live next to each other. and at the age of twelve, they made a promise, or rather, a pact—wwx did write down a formal agreement black and white—they would marry each other.
"if the present parties, wei wuxian and lan wangji, do not find a partner after thirteen years from this date, they will marry each other!"
signed, signed
lan wangji wei wuxian
no seriously he really did write it on a piece of paper, with lwj's pen. and it was signed by the both of them.
wwx: so lan zhan now that we've signed it!! ON PAPER!! Lan so for real now, if we don’t find ourselves a partner in 13 years, we will get married.. ok?
lwj: mn.
au where lwj can read minds if he stares at someone long enough. it's also the reason why he avoids gazes and often never looks at someone for too long. the mind is a powerful thing and to be able to read it, is even more powerful.
the only people's mind that lwj has never been able to read so easily are his brother and uncle's. also because, lwj doesn't want to. he could if he tried hard enough.
gusulan is expecting the arrival of disciples from the other major sects and yunmengjiang is one of them.
he will soon find another person who his mind cannot reach that easily. it surprises him to the core and annoys him, even. he finds himself stealing more and more glances at the noisy jiang disciple that has the most boisterous laugh and exuberant warmth.
