Thanks to @/orca_day and @/enigmatree, I am Thinking about Mothxian (secretly an Eldritch Entity) and Witchji.
I am thinking about tiny little moth-person WWX swooning delicately into Witchji's hands! He is only a tiny barely-magical being! He needs the tender care of a witch!!

He needs Witchji to make him a fluffy little bed out of a matchbox and some cotton puffs!
He needs Witchji to hand-feed him nectar!
He needs Witchji to carry him around on his hat!
He's delicate and fragile, you see. He cannot possibly care for himself. 😮💨

What's that?
Su She (who fancied himself Witchji's rival and always harassed Witchji) has disappeared?
He left nothing behind except the vague odor of sulfur and a strange greasy smear on the floorboards?

Ah, how scary!! Mothxian needs to sleep with Witchji tonight, in case whatever got Su She comes back!
Witchji will protect this feeble and fragile moth, right? 🥺

Still thinking of Mothxian and Witchji, sorry.
Still on my Discworld kick too, so I'm just thinking of Witchji primly riding his broom around his steading, fixing injuries, sorting out problems, and delivering babies. Typical witch stuff, you know!

Mothxian rides along on his hat!
He plays with the children while Witchji solves problems and administers medical care. He flutters around the garden while the kids chase after him! Then the kids collect flowers and feed Mothxian the pollen.
Mothxian: 🥺😌🌸

And then they run across one of THOSE situations.
The kind where the problem that Witchji needs to solve falls under the category of 'domestic abuse'.
Mothxian, externally: 😊😊😊
Mothxian, internally: 🔪🔪🔪

And once again, ~another troublesome person~ vanishes with a whiff of sulfur and a greasy smudge on the floor. 🤔
People are starting to wonder if Witchji is disposing of evildoers with his magic! 🤔
Witchji knows he isn't doing that, of course. But who could be doing this? 🤔

Over the next few weeks, the small handful of truly evil people in Witchji's steading (and the surrounding villages) somehow manage to disappear or fall victim to 'accidents'.
Witchji tries to track down to perp, but there are simply no clues!

Somehow, this person is leave no magical trace! Which should be impossible, surely?? A very troubling mystery!
...At least the tiny fragile moth-person that Witchji rescued is slowly rebuilding his strength. But he still needs to be fed by hand and carried around. 🥺

I'm sure there are a few moments where Witchji wonders if there might be a connection between Mothxian and the sudden rash of cases of bad-people-gone-mysteriously-missing.
But I'm sure that each time Witchji tries to spy on Mothxian, he just winds up, like...

Watching Mothxian struggle to pull up an earthworm so he can eat it. Then getting chased around by Witchji's chickens, who also wanted that earthworm. 😭
And Witchji is like, "...No. It couldn't be this small, hapless creature. I had to fish him out of the teapot this morning!"
And Witchji is like, "...No. It couldn't be this small, hapless creature. I had to fish him out of the teapot this morning!"
"He tried to take a drink, fell in, and nearly drowned! He couldn't possibly have anything to do with all this..."
And if this is a Discworld AU, then I like the idea of Granny Weatherwax coming to visit Witchji. She's heard strange tales!

People in Witchji's steading have gone missing!
Witchji's old enemies have vanished, and presumably been killed!
She needs to make sure Witchji hasn't started...you know...cackling.
But she takes one look at Mothxian, and goes

That awkward moment when a young witch in your area gets adopted by an Eldritch Horror who wants to:
a) Eviscerate said witch's enemies
b) Eviscerate anyone who harms a child
c) Grift his way into sponge baths and free food and cuddles by pretending to be helpless 🥺

...This one's a first, even for Granny Weatherwax!
Granny, internally: Is this...worse than Tiffany and her Feegles, or better?

Spoiler alert: It's worse.
Mothxian ALSO enjoys drinking and being rowdy, and he ISN'T afraid of hags, so he's much harder to restrain. 😇

But like the Feegles, Mothxian WILL behave himself if his favorite witch gives him the dreaded 'crossing of the arms', the 'tapping of the feets', and the 'pursing of the lips'. 😖
Tiffany 🤝 Witchji
'I accidentally secured the unshakable loyalty of a chaos creature(s) who will follow me around forever and cause problems on purpose'

Tiffany and Witchji making cheese together, while Mothxian and the Feegles get drunk and chase sheep around the Chalk! 😭
Mothxian and the Feegles going off on little adventures to steal from the rich and greedy, while Tiffany and Witchji are just like, "I Do Not Perceive It."

Because people asked 'but do Witchji and Mothxian ever kith??':
https://twitter.com/cicerfics/status/1495901483149275137
Yes! They most definitely kith!
Mothxian has a whole 'sexy adult-human-sized YLLZ with gaping robes and bared, gleaming chest' form, and Witchji gets to unlock that form in due course!

Also, this is not really related to the plot (???) of this random little quasi-threadfic.
But Witchji is trans in my head!
The Lans are all wizards, and have been for centuries. And when LQR thought he had a niece, he was still determined that LWJ would be a wizard!

And when LWJ finally got old enough to say, "No, Uncle, I am a boy", LQR went 😊😊😊.
Because now his nephew would SURELY become a wizard, and NOT a (shudder) witch!
But LWJ said, "No, I am still going to be a witch."

LQR: But...you...a boy...?!
LWJ: I will be a boy who is also a witch. Now. I am off to Lancre to study with Mistress Weatherwax. I will remember to write home each week. ✌️
LQR: ....
LQR: ....
LQR: NOT MISTRESS WEATHERWAX. 😭

All this is to say: after Witchji and Mothxian fall in love, Witch definitely gives birth to little A-Yuan!
A delightful little half-witch, half-Eldritch-horror baby who is extremely sweet, and who becomes absolutely terrifying if you hurt an innocent person in his presence. 😇

Also, if you're wondering Nanny Ogg's opinion on Witchji's romance, it pretty much goes like this:
Nanny Ogg: Dearie, it's best not to knock boots with an unknown Eldritch horror.
*sees human!Mothxian walk by the window, shirtless and sweaty as he heads off to milk the goats*
Nanny Ogg: Dearie, it's best not to knock boots with an unknown Eldritch horror.

Nanny Ogg: ...
Nanny Ogg: On the other hand, you're only young once! 😊
Nanny Ogg: On the other hand, you're only young once! 😊
Look. Nanny is aware that witches "shouldn't" have wild sex with "unknown chaos entities" who might "kill people" every time they "get upset".
On the other hand, good-looking men don't falls off of trees, you know! And a hard-working young witch has the right to have some fun!
