baby dragonji meets baby foxxian for the first time when lqr takes wwx back to cloud recesses. deeply frightened by all the dragons he sees, wwx holds lqr’s hand tight.
lqr: [about to announce he’s adopting foxxian]
lwj, looking at wwx: shufu, you brought back dinner💦
wwx: 😨😭
lqr: wangji, this fox is not for eating.
baby dragonji, confused: but it is dinner time and he is a small animal
baby foxxian: [already bawling]
lqr: he is a huli jing, an esteemed fox spirit. he will live and study alongside you, and become your peer. take good care of him.
lwj:
lqr: promise me you won’t eat the fox
lwj:
lqr: wangji
lwj: …I promise
lxc, behind him: I promise I won’t let him eat the fox
[15 years later, at wangxian’s wedding]
lqr:
lxc: in my defense, he didn’t eat the fox
lwj: oh, I will be devouring a fox tonight. 🐉💦
lqr:
lxc:
it took some time for baby dragonji to ascertain his feelings towards baby foxxian. after all, the small fox always looked so delicious…🐉💦💦 lwj may have (accidentally) chomped on wwx’s tails too many times growing up.
baby dragonji: do I love him or do I just want to eat him
baby foxxian: 😭😣😭😣 LAN ZHAN IS EATING ME AGAIN~~~!!!
lxc, running to pull his baby brother off wwx: wangji if you chew on a-ying’s tails one more time I SWEAR TO GOD
baby dragonji: I wuff wweiyingg
babie dragonji is easily overcome by his emotions. he just wants to bite
foxxian slowly grew used to dragonji’s biting tendencies and soon understood them to be his little expressions of love, no matter how (cutely) terrifying 🥺
although, when dragonji finally gathered the courage to begin courting foxxian, it still led to some misunderstandings…
lwj: wei ying you are the most beautiful fox I have ever seen . your fur is so majestic and your tails are so fat . anyone would be lucky to have you .
wwx: you still want to eat me, don’t you 😭
lwj:
lwj: wei ying I love you
wwx: LAN HUAN-GE LAN ZHAN PLANS TO EAT ME AGAIN~~~!!!
alternatively, dragonji trying to flirt with foxxian at dinner: wei ying this rabbit tastes good. but I bet you would taste even better 🐉💦
lqr:
lxc:
wwx: 😣😭😣😭
lqr, to lxc: you’re going to have a word with him on how to properly court a-ying, right?
lxc: I will rectify this

what if foxxian and dragonji grew up together in the palace but neither had the courage to confess. so, when lwj returns triumphant from the war—the Lans have served the Weis for generations as warriors—the Wei emperor asks him what reward he wants. and lwj asks to marry foxxian.
some backstory: when lwj is not out there fighting great battles for his emperor, he’s wwx’s personal bodyguard, tailing him around the palace... I just love the thought of dragons being the designated warrior clan that serves the emperor (and in turn, pretty fox princes)!
something about the trait of dragons being extremely steadfast and loyal to those they serve AND also being so inhumanly powerful and strong that makes them the ideal warrior type—just gets me! also, the intensity of their devotion makes their love sometimes scary (but so good)
