often we talk about the discipline whip scars lan wangji's back that mark him because he protected wei wuxian in his own ways. but rarely do we talk about those that brand jiang cheng's chest that he also endured because he protected wei wuxian by luring wen chao's men away.
lwj had lxc to tell his story. jc had no one to. wwx knows the existence of lwj’s scars and the reason behind them. he never finds out about jc’s. and the latter seems to never want to tell wwx too, for they are scars he would rather bear himself for the rest of his life.
was there ever a time when maybe jc just wanted to tell wwx everything? would that make a difference? mend their relationship? he probably doesn’t know. but one thing is for sure, he knows his shixiong would feel guilty. now wwx has his second life, and jc would prefer it to not
carry any guilt.
“take care,” is all he says as he stands outside the destructed guanyin temple as he sees his brother walk away with hanguang-jun.
“live with no guilt,” his heart continues.

just a smol hc that jc never told wwx the truth because wwx would just feel... that it’s all his fault, again. he surely would think “it’s because he wanted to save me, that’s why a-cheng led the men away, and in the end he lost his core. because of me. because of me. of me.”
i also think that jc shows his love very differently, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t love. everyone’s a victim of consequences at the very end 😭 (not looking at you sect leader yao and jgs hahaha)
if only the yunmengshuang jie talked it out one night at some place like qiting wine house or something, and over some alcohol. it’d be nice to see them laugh over it, because it’s already over. and they’ve grown up, grown past it. and furthermore, their shijie would want them
to be happy. and deep down, they themselves want to be happy for—and with—each other.
yunmengshuangjie 4 life 😭 ♥️💜

post canon wangxian where wwx still has the habit of drawing on things.
"lan wangji was here."
"wei wuxian was here."
that was the night when he found that his soulmate, now his husband, also likes to carve (words), though in a drunken state.
now, they lie awake in their
jingshi. it's well after 9pm. but what is sleep, when both wwx and lwj would rather spend every waking moment with one another? they're covered only by their blanket and in each other's warmth.
in wwx's hand is a small sharp carving knife, that they'd gotten from caiyi town from
the sculptor. he starts to slowly carve what lies beside them—their bed frame.
"lan zhan, wanna know what i'm going to try to draw?" wwx says as he gets up from his husband's embrace and sits down cross legged, revealing his naked upper half body, lit by the beautiful moonlight
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.
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
