#mdzs #yunmengbros ft. Lwj and jc getting along (kinda lol)

Playing cards has always been a feature in the yunmeng household, especially during summer.

JC and wwx were competitive (well, JC more than wwx, but wwx had the luck of the devil when it came to cards)
During the summers, they would tally of scores for gin rummy, cribbage (and gold fish and uno, bc even with JL they were competitive)

Even jyl would join in, a card shark in her own right, her poker face crafted into her softest smile.
(Jzx had sworn off sibling game night after joining once. Once was enough.)

However, when wwx started dating lwj, he was invited to sibling game night as a trial by fire.

And (for once) wwx wasn't in LWJs lap- let the games begin.
To the surprise of everyone (after the disaster that was jzx) lwj held his own. His resting bitch face doubled as an excellent poker face.

Even with jyl and jc absolutely targeting him during uno- he was competitive in his own right
(Though- that might have been jc goading him on)

...

Weeks later, wwx spied his lan-er gege playing chess on his phone? Since when?

And that lead to the easily given fact that lwj and jc were still egging each other on. Words with friends, chess, trivia-
anything you could compete against each other, they had tried.

And they were very closely matched.

They had a shared excel sheet of scores and who had bragging rights of the week

Wwx, though competitive, wasn't THAT competitive- but it seemed to be a trait his bf and
Brother shared.

(Naturally, he teased them mercilessly for WEEKS,- months even. But after the few months that jc and lwj spent at each other's throats, this was a welcome change)

(Fin)
Idk where I was going, I just wanted lwj and jc playing cards in a totally-not-friends-we-definitely-hate-eachother kind of way... that they schedule one a week

I've got the sads, join me

JC had done well for himself. He did better away from his parents. And that was fine

He kept in close contact with his mother- distance really had made the heart grow fonder

His father... not so much
They both ended up and cordial strangers. Like the uncle you saw during the holidays and were friendly with... but that was it.

And that was fine. He has stopped needing things that his father was incapable of giving years ago.
-
He was on his way to pick jfm up from the
airport. His evening arrival had been delayed hours- it was nearing midnight.

They were both exhausted and mutually decided to skip the cordial catch-up chit chat

His father zeroed in on the guest bedroom as JC took his luggage

#allcheng 🔪
OR hear me out- under negotiated allcheng polycule that's a slow burn to destruction

JC in love is different than the one they fell in love with.
JC is quiet (content). His fiery attitude (defense) lowered and lowered until only ashes remain (what use is a defense when you're surrounded by love?)

JC had relaxed into the arms of his beloved. The inner child that screamed for attention and praise was quiet for the-
first time he could ever recall.

His hard edges had smoothed under their gentle (and not so gentle) care and attention.

And he thrived for the first time he could remember.

He was... happy

Love this, 💯

JC, early on, looking at the population numbers for yunmeng and worrying that not enough couples are having children or only stopping at one. The amount of weddings is barely anything (and he knows there's a lot of long term couples so why no marriages?)
So he goes to the weavers guild, entirely women, majority childless

"Why isn't anyone getting married? Or having kids?"

And after the hemming and hawing, he gets his answer

-still rebuilding, women have to work, no time for kids
-kids are expensive.
-marriage is expensive- more couples just perpetually dating or eloping to avoid $ burdens on families.
-some men/women just aren't ready to settle down after the war and probably never will

After wwx and jyl died, JC was terrifyingly alone

And with 3zun newly sworn, he was politically alone as well (except for JGS.. but the less said the better)

And it wasn't that JC needed a wife (heavens no!) It's that he needed help.
Sect Leader Yaos 2nd daughter, Yao Taisi, was one of the girls who was paraded in front of him in the hopes of securing the title of Jiang Furen and SLJ as an in-law.

She was also the only woman who had a head for business (later he would realize she was a natural at numbers)
Every other woman who he entertain he'd have to small talk (and try not to scare them off with his face when they wanted to talk about stupid things... he was less successful at that one).

He had heard of Yao Taisi, who was mouthy, unruly, and uncontrollable.

Accident Elderly Acquisition
---
It started like most things in Yunmeng, there was a need.

They had lost nearly all the elders to the Wen, only 3 survived. Two, a married couple, had been visiting their newest great grandchild at the time. And the third was
Relatively unknown and managed to be evacuated and pass unnoticed.

But 3 was not enough to teach the next generation, to pass on the traditions and lore.

YMJ and GL had already been in an agreement, sending disciples to LP in exchange for supplies to GL.
It was simple enough to request a few Lan Elders to assist the few Jiang Elders.

Winter was the best time for the exchange, everything in GL came to a slow halt in the face of a cold northern winter.

YMJ, on the other hand, was the southern most of all the great

#mdzs #JiangCheng (Jiang "every animal is a dog" Cheng)

JC is a dog person. Always has been always will be.

Wwx puts a wrench in those plans.

Ok.

That's fine.

...

It was not fine.
JC gets a cat first. Well, he doesn't get it, exactly. One of the locals has several barn cats that hurt rodents, and if JC becomes their favorite human by bribing them with treats?

Well. That's neither here nor there

Back to the dog thing, you see, JC has no idea
how to take care of other animals. But his dogs were happy when he had them, and they're all animals right?

So same thing, different floof

Wwx catches him playing fetch with the cats.

(Fetch is a staple of owning a dog. The bare necessity. Of course he taught the cats)
