it's #omegalwjseason somewhere, and it's his BIRTHDAY, so have a little thought snippet:
(cw: a/b/o)
the cloud recesses segregate their alphas and omegas. so when alpha!wwx climbs the wrong wall with his smuggled alcohol, omega!lwj takes GREAT offense to the intrusion.
wwx comes from lotus pier; alphas and omegas mingle there. he has no idea why this very pretty omega seems so pissed.
so, wwx being wwx, he tries to flirt.
lwj does NOT appreciate it, and nearly stabs him for it. lan omegas are viciously territorial, and wwx is TRESPASSING.
lwj manages to chase wwx back to the alpha side of the cloud recesses, but not before wwx dances circles around him and teases him and calls him beautiful and sends his heart racing.
the next morning, lwj writes a long formal complaint on wwx and sends it to his uncle.
lqr is reasonably outraged that wwx almost got into the omega side of the cloud recesses. he punishes wwx with running laps, push-ups, and copying text on the importance and benefits of sexual abstinence.
wwx, who had just wanted to go back to his dorm and enjoy his alcohol: 🤨

oh no what if 35 y/o lwj time-travelled back to when he was very little, like maybe 3-4 years old, and his little self mistook him for his father 🥹🥹
((credit to @/nettledaf for the idea of lwj time-travelling))
bby lz is so tiny compared to his grown self. he does his very best to bow properly, as he is told he has to do when greeting his elders, but he is very scared. he knows this man is his father not because he recognizes him, but because no other adult would look so similar to him.
meanwhile hgj is watching this veeeery small child, clearly frightened but trying his best not to show it. he kneels so that he doesn't tower so much over his younger self.
today's dumb thought is not dark-lwj, but more of a grey-lwj: has possessive thoughts and would be totally capable of carrying them out, but keeps getting expertly thwarted at every turn because wwx *knows* his husband.
every time they bump into one of wwx's acquaintances and they start chatting, wwx automatically reaches into his bag and pulls out a brand new bunny plushie that lwj has never seen before.
if wwx knows beforehand that they will be meeting a friend, he brings an actual bunny.
wwx: ah wen ning it is so good to see you again *pats him on the shoulder*
wn: 🥹
lwj: 😡
wwx: *pulls one of their pet rabbits out of his bag and dumps it in lwj's lap*
today's specific thought is college TA omega lwj getting very annoyed during his discussion sessions because alpha wwx keeps revving his motorcycle and doing wheelies in the parking lot nearby and it's insanely distracting for everyone involved.
yes i know this is very much feeding into bad-boy with leather jacket and motorcycle getting with uptight, proper, prim scholar stereotype, and guESS WHAT I'M GONNA KEEP FEEDING IT
wwx is a college dropout and jc's adopted brother. he often takes his motorcycle to the university to pick jc up after his classes.
today's thought is archaeologist lwj excavating an ancient tomb that has a shit-ton of protection, warning, and containment seals on it. his colleagues say it's cursed, but he disregards them.
until he lifts the sarcophagus lid and finds red-glowing eyes staring back at him.
lwj:
yllz:
lwj: *closes the sarcophagus lid*
it's nowhere near bedtime, but lwj decides to just go to sleep early. he's certain that whatever he saw was a hallucination and he's overtired.
until he goes back the next day, lifts the sarcophagus lid again, and the man inside says, "I'm still here, kid."
so much omegaxian stuff on my timeline is making me think of an au where omegas need to be claimed immediately after they present because otherwise their pheromones will drive nearby alphas to madness.
of course wwx doesn't present until he's in class at the cloud recesses.
usually there are signs in the years leading up to an omega's presentation, so they have time to arrange a marriage or seclude themselves.
an unclaimed omega's pheromones are dangerous. prolonged exposure can induce insanity in alphas.
in the past, when desperate times called for desperate measures, unclaimed omega pheromones have even been used as weapons during wars to neutralize dangerous enemy targets. for this reason, some of the greatest military strategists in history were betas.
today's thought is lowly palace servant wwx flirting with imperial guard lwj one too many times and then suddenly finding himself being granted marriage to lwj by emperor nmj himself.
lxc is the highest-ranked and most beloved consort in nmj's inner palace. lwj complained about wwx to lxc, who then giggled to nmj about it over tea, who—ever willing to please lxc and thinking that it's about time lwj marries—immediately grants lwj and wwx marriage.
so, from wwx's pov, he was just going about his life as a servant; work is hard, but fulfilling. he hears gossip about the most eligible bachelors with the highest connections, and gets curious about lwj.
ah, but lwj is notorious for being cold, stand-offish, and unsmiling.
