post-canon. wwx cultivates a golden core and lengthens his own lifespan like the twin jades do. jc dies, and wwx searches for his reincarnation for years and years, lwj following behind him dutifully.
A skinny, bony youth of 16 years, identical in appearance to wwx's late shidi, dressed in plain robes fitting his status as an ordinary commoner, also called A-Cheng. wwx is overjoyed and runs up to hug him, telling him that he is the reincarnation of sdss, missing the way he
flinches. wwx knows this is jc reincarnated when he finds out that A-Cheng is the village's dog trainer and caretaker. Even though wwx is still afraid of dogs, he will endure it to have jc back.
A-Cheng is quiet and deferential, reminding wwx of a young jc, especially when he
was around his parents or older figures of authority like lqr. wwx laughs and pinches his cheek, telling him to lighten up, that he can be more carefree around his xian-gege. wwx buys him gifts and snacks, bringing him around the marketplace and getting him some of jc's favourite
and the spicy food they used to gobble down as boys. A-Cheng is very cute, with none of the barbed tongue his previous self had, and wwx wonders if this is what jc would have been like without being sect heir, without the influence of jfm and yzy, sweet and compliant.
wwx slings his arm around A-Cheng's shoulder and tells him how cute he is. A-Cheng's polite smile strains a little.
When wwx shows up the next day looking for him, the kindly landlady who employed and rented out a room to A-Cheng angrily tells wwx to leave. wwx is confused and
manages to barge his way to A-Cheng's room, asking him to come out, wwx wants to treat him again today, buy him new things, but the door doesn't budge and he's dragged downstairs. lwj rescues him, glaring at the townsfolk, and pulls at wwx's hand suggesting they leave.
wwx doesn't give up, though, and keeps trying to contact A-Cheng, sending messages to his window via paperman, buying cute little gifts and having them delivered, but A-Cheng doesn't reply, cooped up in his room without leaving for several days. wwx tries to convince the landlady
who delivers trays of food to A-Cheng's room to take a message but she scrunches up the piece of paper and tosses it away. "He's not for sale." She seethes, eyes searing into wwx, "if you want a whore, go to a brothel."
wwx is flabbergasted, he never meant that - he doesn't want to do -that- with A-Cheng, but nothing he says makes a difference, nothing lwj tries produces a different result.
"You think everyone in this town is blind?" The landlady eventually sneers. "We all saw how you pulled
A-Cheng around like he was a pet. How you bought him gifts and touched him all over like he was your property, the way you tried to drug him with that powder of yours."
"The mala sauce?!" wwx splutters, "but that's just a condiment-"
"He told me it numbed his tongue and his
cheeks, that he couldn't feel anything, don't lie, you filthy lecher! He doesn't belong to you, now scram before I get my chopping knife!"
"B-But if he felt so uncomfortable-" wwx scrambles for his words, "why didn't he just tell me?"
"You have no idea what he's been through at the hands of people like you." She hissed, looking like she wants to say more before ultimately holding herself back, as if deeming wwx unworthy of her thoughts. "Now get out. And if I see you bothering him again I'll castrate you."

period has a box with cloud carvings sent to her and inside are a few jade pestles, she knows these are obviously from gusu lan but she's just an innocent white lotus and doesn't know what these are - yzy has to explain them to her and by the end she's blushing red uwu

On a stroll in the mortal realm, a dark shape in the river catches Lan Xichen's eye, and he peers closer to identify a small struggling creature - a black cat in the water, drowning.
With a turn of his heel and a push of his foot, he gracefully leaps forward,
the white-robed figure shifting into a silver dragon in the span of a millisecond and surging just above the water's surface, snatching the feline out of the river with his silver claws and landing neatly on the other side.
The cat yowls, thrashing. "No! Let me go!"
He tries to jump into the river again, but Xichen thankfully is still gripping onto him, and holds him back. "You will drown!" He says urgently, surprised at the cat's ability to speak. Clearly, it is more than a mere animal, but still weak, subject to the same mortality.
when wwx rescues jc from the wens with wn's help, her scent is all wrong- that is to say, she actually has a scent. betas shouldn't have one, not the twisted scent of char and withering lotuses leaking out of her limp, unconscious body.
when she awakes, she clings on to wwx, letting out a high-pitched whine - the sound of a distressed omega as she rubs her neck instinctively against him, the point where a scent gland would be red and swollen. "Wei Ying, hurts." she sobs, trembling all over.
wq has checked her vitals and her expression is grim. Her hormones are wildly fluctuating inside her, qi is oddly concentrated at her neck and especially at her lower abdomen. "She's going through a heat." She tells wwx.
svsss shen twins au where shen yuan, knowing that lbh is hunting down shen jiu to kill his scummy shizun, decides to pose as his twin brother and be killed in his stead to fake shen jiu's death

when shen yuan regains consciousness again, it's in the middle of an array of blood, lbh's eyes glowing red and face flecked with blood "shizun, shizun?" and shen yuan instinctively says - "binghe?" making lbh grin in gleeful, desperate, manic relief before hugging him
"you came back to me, shizun!" and sy looks down to find his wrists shackled - wrists of hands callused with years of training, in a body that feels lighter, firmer, stronger,
"why did you leave me?" lbh demands, gripping sy's shoulders, "why did you pretend to be that scum?"
