I'm having a comedic little brainworm about an AU where LWJ meets the 'evil bandit' WWX, and promptly decides that getting kidnapped by an evil and seductive bandit would be in his best interest, really.
LWJ: *spots the famous and famously-handsome WWX riding along the path*

LWJ: ...

LWJ: ...

LWJ: ...A notorious bandit dares to attack me while I am fulfilling my duties, like any other respectable person. What has this world come to. 😔
WWX: ...Ehh? No, young master, I've already stolen enough silver for the day. Don't worry, you're safe from me this time, haha! 😜

LWJ, already dismounting from his horse: The wickedness of this world is astounding.
LWJ: *tosses his reins to WWX*

LWJ: I will go peacefully, if only to prevent further bloodshed. But your unrighteous behavior will surely be punished someday.

LWJ: *ties up his own wrists and marches over to WWX*

LWJ: *waits patiently for WWX to drag him up onto WWX's horse*
WWX:
LWJ considerately places his money-pouch and valuables into WWX's saddlebag, because of course WWX plans to steal those along with LWJ's horse!

And when WWX fails to understand that this is OBVIOUSLY a kidnapping/ransom situation, LWJ climbs onto WWX's horse himself.
WWX:
WWX, schlepping LWJ back to his hideaway: Wen Qing, I have kidnapped a young master and now I'm holding him for ransom.

WQ: ...Why the FUCK would you do that?!

WWX: Sadly, it was not up to me. 😔
LWJ says some more things about the heinous immorality of kidnapping respectable travelers off the road in broad daylight!

Then he unties his own wrists, sits his li'l ass down, and helps WN prepare dinner for the bandit camp.
Then, after dinner, he marches over to WWX's bedroll.

LWJ is a scholar! He's read books! He's even read the kind he's not technically supposed to read!

Anyway, he's no dummy! He knows that this is the part where he's supposed to be ~ravished~.
The evil bandit is supposed to ~steal his virtue~ and ~defile his purity~.

There is supposed to be BODICE-RIPPING, for heaven's sake!

Alas, the bandit apparently didn't get that memo. 😔
WWX runs off! He commanders a spare bedroom and sleeps somewhere else!

LWJ lies awake for half an hour, composing a negative Yelp review in his head.

"One star out of five. The food was better than expected, but there was an utter lack of defilement."
"Purity remains intact. Was not even subjected to any impudent ~wandering hands~ while we shared the same horse. Experience not as advertised. Would not recommend."
LWJ sulks through breakfast the next morning!

Afterward, WWX asks if he should send that ransom letter to LWJ's family now.

(He is aware that he's not supposed to be ASKING his kidnappee for directions. But he's obviously not in CHARGE of this particular kidnapping!)
But LWJ, his v-card still unpunched, just sits there like
WWX: Wen Qing! What should I do! Yesterday it really seemed like he WANTED to be kidnapped and brought to my hideout! But now he won't talk to me anymore! What am I supposed to do now!! 😭

WQ:
Anyway! I assume that the 'kidnapping' stretches on FAR longer than either party originally planned, with many Wacky Misunderstandings.

At some point, LWJ starts keeping a diary.
"Day 13. Attempted the 'bathing in a stream' ruse, which features prominently in at least three novels in this genre. Despite arranging for the handsome bandit to stumble across me while I was naked and wet, I remain undefiled. Beginning to lose all hope. 😔"
After some time, wangxian realize they have fallen in.

And after an EMBARRASSING LONG TIME, WWX realizes that his 'captive' is trying very, very hard to get dicked down.

And then, I assume, this FINALLY becomes the kidnapping experience LWJ hoped for. 😌
"Day 67: Success, at last. Even better than chapter 13 of 'The Wicked Bandit's Secret Lover' promised! Will arrange for Xiongzhang to move forward with the wedding plans immediately. 😌"
Deepest condolences to LXC, who definitely gets a letter informing him that:

A) His missing brother has been the captive of a wicked bandit

B) His brother has been thoroughly devirginized by said bandit

C) His brother is going to marry said bandit ASAP
D) LXC is not allowed to get mad about LWJ's extended absence, because if LWJ had his way, it would NOT have taken this long 😡

E) LXC isn't allowed to get mad about the devirginization or the wedding either, because by the gods, LWJ had to WORK HARD for both of those things 😭
Becoming the Wicked Bandit's Secret Lover was BY NO MEANS as easy as the books would have had LWJ believe!

He expects to be congratulated on his accomplishments by his loving family, who have always shown pride in his achievements. 😇
...Anyway. They live happily and hornily ever after!

Someday, WWX tells their grandchilden about how they fell in love after he abducted LWJ, and LWJ nods approvingly.

But when LWJ leaves the room, WWX whispers, "Actually, he kidnapped me! Don't tell anyone! It's a secret!"
In conclusion: They're weirdos, your honor. 😔

The end!!

I do think that modern wangxian marry young, and start their family young! I think they have three biokids, two adopted kids, and probably two more unofficial foster kids that they just happened to pick up.
(Hey, their teenage kids have some friends with a lousy home life! What are wangxian supposed to do, NOT adopt those kids? I think NOT.)

Anyway. They're very happy and have a nice overflowing house.

And then. The day comes when their youngest finally moves out. 🥲
Spoiler alert: wangxian absolutely cannot cope as empty-nesters.

Everyone who knows they started a family young is like, "Oh, how nice for you two! You're only 42 and you've already got the house to yourselves! You can travel and have fun and be carefree!"

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?

Loosely inspired by @/iliaquer and @/raeinthe:

I REALLY LOVE stuff where wangxian are trying to make a baby, which they plan for WWX to carry.

Except, oopsie-doodle, it's actually LWJ who gets knocked up!
Should've tagged for #PregjiSeason, sorry!

Anyway. I just think it's Extremely Funny when the Lan physicians have to reveal the shocking news.

Wangxian are dumbstruck!
WWX gets his voice back first.

"OHH NOOO. THAT'S not how the talisman was supposed to work! Lan Zhan, I'm so sorry!"

He's cut off by LQR trying to put him in a chokehold, because HOW DARE YOU USE EXPERIMENTAL TALISMANS ON MY NEPHEW.

Still thinking about Concubineji.
I want an AU where Emperor!WWX really does have a whole-ass harem, except LWJ is the only one he actually sleeps with.

He's got a political marriage to WQ, who refuses to touch WWX (sexually) with a ten-foot pole. But she WILL run his life and his empire for him, so it works.
...She's probably having an affair with her lady-in-waiting, Qin Su.

When the emperor found out about that, his only response was, "Haha. Nice. 👍"

#PregjiSeason

I have a sneaky soft-spot for celebrity AUs. So right now, I'm thinking of singer!WWX and songwriter!LWJ who've pulled off the difficult task of keeping their relationship a secret.

Now they're faced with the Herculean task of keeping LWJ's PREGNANCY a secret.
I feel like it's not as difficult as it might seem, because LWJ sometimes just drops off the map for a year. He completely vanishes into thin air, and then he returns to drop an absolute BANGER of an album.

So he can just evaporate with no warning or explanation.
If he goes MIA, fans are just like, "SICK. That means HGJ is gonna return in 6-12 months with some brand new BOPS."

But it's harder for WWX, who frequently performs in person and often goes on international tours!

That awkward moment when you were just chilling on a park bench three minutes ago, and now you're giving birth (??) even though you're pretty sure you were a cis man when you woke up this morning (???) and now someone is handing you a baby. (????) 🥴
Really, though. I love how fast LWJ moved from 'I have a baby now, and I didn't even know I had a uterus to grow one, help??' to 'what do you MEAN my babydaddy abandoned me? oh, I don't THINK so, honey!!'
