I am thinking of a modern AU where wangxian are both famous musicians, and they're dating.

And then they run into some problems, and go on a "break" to get some space from the relationship. And then they both create the most AMAZING albums of their entire careers.
Just. Pure raw unadulterated YEARNING and HEARTBREAK.

And it's incredible music, and they both win a lot of critical acclaim.

But everyone is kinda like
"Maybe...y'all should try to talk it out...if that's how you feel..."

Anyway, they do. They show up to the Grammys (where they're both up for Album of the Year) on each other's arm.

Whichever of them wins goes up to the podium and gives a speech like
"...lmao. thank u for your support but we worked it out, so never mind! also we got married last week. 😘"
They're like that meme. You know the one.

(the album) My heart is splintered into a million pieces, the sun shall never rise, I will never know joy again as long as I live. 💔

(the award show) Haha, never mind, he texted back! ✌️

Omegaji sneakily scent-marking his best friend WWX.

...That's it, that's the concept.
It starts by accident! WWX forgets his jacket at home, so LWJ loans him one, and WWX borrows it.

And LWJ cannot help but observe (as he stealthily watches WWX for the rest of the day, as he does EVERY day) that FAR FEWER PEOPLE are hitting on WWX today.

👀👀👀
He is ALWAYS watching people hitting on WWX, and always feeling super salty about it. Chugging vinegar until he is a small shriveled pickled Omegaji!

But today...people start to approach WWX, and then BACK UP?

LWJ: 🕵️🔍?
LWJ: ...🤔
LWJ:💡!!!

Baby WWX was definitely the kind of kid who was obsessed with WEIRD food combinations. You can't change my mind on this.
(I COULD make this knifey and talk about his childhood experiences with starvation, but I REFUSE.

I'm just gonna say this is an INBORN TRAIT, and even in modern AUs where he never experienced food insecurity, he still wants to put mayo on his oatmeal. 🤢)
WAIT OMG THIS TIES IN WITH MY BABY LWJ HEADCANON

In a post-canon setting where LWJ has run off to be a farmer with WWX, and LXC is writing sad emo poetry in seclusion. Where LQR is tasked, AGAIN, with running the sect because his family is such a hot mess.

I just think he should be allowed to draft LJY into helping him.
"This young disciple is here to assist me during the meeting, because I am so old and feeble now. 😔"

"...But Grandmaster, you're not even sixty? And you have a golden core...?"

"So old. So feeble. Practically deaf."

*smash cut to LJY shit-talking an obnoxious sect leader*
LJY is literally throwing hands with someone who just insulted the Lan sect, and LQR simply Does Not Perceive It.

His eyesight is failing. 😔 He can't see what those disciples over there are doing. 😔 Please don't remind this poor old man of his many frailties. 😔

Sort of a Pregji-adjacent thought, but this one definitely doesn't have to be mpreg:

I think wangxian have a tiny bit of Friction™ during the first few months of their baby's life, because LWJ absolutely insists that someone MUST get up and go to the baby when they're crying.
WWX will go to the baby! He'll check on them! He'll cuddle them, check their diaper, assess whether they're hungry! He'll make sure they're not sick or hurt!

But if the baby is just crying for the sake of crying, he's OK with letting them try to cry it out for a while.
LWJ is much more of the mindset that if the baby is crying, at least one parent (preferably both parents!) MUST be attending them.

And I think they both struggle to bridge that gap.

I am thinking of the Terrifying Yiling Patriarch, Immortal Emperor of the Cultivation World, Fearsome and Indefatigable, All Praise Him.

...Specifically, I am thinking of the Emperor constantly whining to his beloved Imperial Noble Consort.
"Lan Zhaaaaan. I can't answer those letters. My hand hurts. Write them for me! 🥺"

"Lan Zhaaaaan. I don't want to sit in the main hall to listen to petitioners. That seat is too hard. It hurts my ass! Well, if I go, will you kiss it better? 🥺"
The cultivators who have come to petition his help are quaking in their boots! Their fearsome emperor is late! Does this mean that someone has displeased him? Will be in a bad mood when he arrives??

...Actually, he just overslept.

No, but I am really very obsessed with this idea now.

College student LWJ spots a hot thirtysomething. He positions himself in the guy's line of sight, and hints that he is open to accepting a drink.

This is usually MORE than enough to get him attention.
This usually results in the target TRIPPING over himself to rush to LWJ's side.

But this guy just looks him up and down, and goes, "No. :') You're EXTREMELY beautiful, sweetheart, but you don't even look old enough to drink. :') I am way too old for you. :')"
LWJ puts actually EFFORT into flirting, for the first time in his entire life!

And it gets him NOWHERE.

The guy just laughs, and pats LWJ's head. He has a son in second grade, dear heart. A son and a mortgage! Much too old for pretty college students.
