Day 27: #xiantober : Artist!xian

Equipt with nothing more but his pencil and notebook, Wei Ying begins to sketch.

His slender fingers guide the pencil from one end to another. Quick strokes mix with
gentle glides—filling in the empty space.

Simple shades of grey
brings life onto the page.

His eyes dart between the notebook and the object of his affections. This rhythm becomes imprinted in his work.

Though he’s anxious to finish, he is also steady to perfect the piece.

From head to toe, he captures the essence of
muse. The ebony shade of his hair, golden hue in the eyes, and sculpted facial features that seemed to be chiseled from jade.

The epiphany of art in physical form.

It fascinated Wei Ying. A new spark of inspiration and just what he needed after a tiring
day of class.

Once he’s satisfied with the product—having done his best with what he has—Wei Ying walks over to his muse.

“Excuse me,” he softly starts.

His muse looks up from the book he had been reading and offers a kind smile.

Wei Ying reciprocates with a cheerful
grin, “I hope you don’t mind but I sketched a picture of you.”

Ripping the page from his notebook, Wei Ying holds it up for his muse to see.

The benevolent smile he had received, softens dramatically. His lips part and the soft exhale of a breath is heard.
His amber eyes round in wonder, glistening like stars in the night sky.

The expression is compelling and Wei Ying itches to capture the moment.

“It’s beautiful,” he says and the vigor in his voice nearly knocks Wei Ying off his feet.

Scrambling, he replies, “It’s for you
to keep.”

“I can’t keep this. It is your work.”

“But I drew it for you and it’s you so who better to have it than yourself?”

Although hesitant, he relents but with a compromise. “May I get a signature from the artist?”

“Oh, right!” Wei Ying quickly jots down his name
and after a second of contemplation—his number. “There we go.”

His muse glances quickly down at his name and reads, “Wei Ying.” Then he turns to face him.

“A beautiful name.”

A blush befalls his face and he feels hot. “And may I know the name of my muse?”

“Lan Zhan.”
He tests the name on his tongue. It leaves a honey filled sensation in his mouth and gives him butterflies.

“If you don’t mind, I would like to draw more portraits of you.”

“Not at all. I look forward to it.” He proceeds to tucks the drawing into his book. “I’ll call
you later, Wei Ying.”

“Mhm! I will await your call then Lan Zhan.”

💕//END//💕

A bold move I can see artist!xian pulling hehehe

Day 26: #xiantober : rogue cultivator!

“Aiyah, I didn’t expect to see you so soon, Hanguang-jun,” exclaims Wei Ying. He dusts his palms clean before clasping them behind him.

“What brings you around?”

A solemn look greets him in return. “Night hunt in Yiling.”
“Word spreads quite fast doesn’t it? Not a day passes by and Hanguang-jun is already here. True to his name of ‘appearing where chaos is.’”

“Forgive me for intruding,”

“There’s no need for that.” he waves a hand in dismissal. “If I didn’t want you
dropping by, I wouldn’t have told where I lived.”

“Mn,” hums Lan Zhan. This time, his lips curve—ghosting a smile. “I brought something for you.”

He digs into his robes and pulls out his qiankun pouch. Another second passes by, then a jar of Emperor’s Smile is

Day 22: #xiantober : Police!xian

"Good cop, bad cop?"

"No."

"Aw but Lan Zhan..."

"It never turns out well Wei Ying, you know this."

A petulant sigh leaves him as he slides into his desk chair. "Then how do you plan on interrogating him?"

"I have my ways."
Surely enough, the culprit confessed to his crimes—adding another solved case onto Lan Zhan's pile.

"That's not fair." Wei Ying complains that night they arrive back home. "Now I'm two cases behind you."

"This was a joint capture."

"Yeah but you got most of the credit so
now I have to catch up."

"Or," Lan Zhan's voice hitches. "You can just admit you lost."

"Lan Zhan," he pointedly says. "We've been married for three years and dated for 5. You really think I'll give up a bet, especially when it's against you?"

"All I'm saying is don't

Day 21: #xiantober Mob Boss!xian + #SituationjiSeason

He gave one specific instruction yet his men can't seem to get things right.

Must he do everything himself?

"I asked for a Wen and you brought me a Lan?"

"Sir," one of his men begins to explain. "Both parties were
present during the capture."

Wei Ying's forefingers press into his temples, rubbing them in circular motions. "Well then where is he? The Lan."

At the mention of this, the men scramble.

A heavy sigh falls from his lips as he turns to be seated.

Not a minute later and his
men return with the Lan whose... limbs are tethered from head to toe. His mouth gagged with what seems to be the signature Lan forehead ribbon.

He's tossed before Wei Ying's feet and squirms to look up.

Once their eyes meet, Wei Ying waves a hand in dismissal. "Leave us."

Bridgerton AU x Wangxian

Where Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji meet at a courting ball.

Due to Lan Zhan's prestigious reputation, he's flocked with many suitors whereas Wei Ying struggles to find recognition.

One, primarily due to Jiang Cheng's interference of "these men are
indecent," and dismisses them all before Wei Ying can court them.

The two end up establishing a fake relationship that'll help diminish the suitors on Lan Zhan's end whilst increasing them on Wei Ying's side.

All the houses find deep admiration for them for Wei Ying is deemed
to be the diamond of this season's courtship.

And Lan Zhan has just come to inherit his father's estate.

The continuous meet ups inside and outside of the balls, lead them to start developing genuine feelings.

Their playful banter and cross tension ends up becoming

Uni professor Lan Wangji, who attended a welcoming party the night before, wakes up to find a stranger sleeping next to him.

Mortification drowns him as he realizes, he can't recall anything. Especially, not after all those drinks.

He scrambles out of bed in panic and rushes
out of the odd hotel room they had apparently checked into.

He's disoriented the whole morning at work and only becomes more addled when the same stranger walks into his lecture hall, introducing himself as Wei Wuxian:

A new student in his class.
Lan Zhan nerves stand on end and he wonders if the student recognizes him. But Wei Wuxian doesn’t spare so much as a glance—only pressing through to his seat.

The suppressed breath in his chest evens out and Lan Zhan carries on with lecture.

However, he can’t help but

Day 5: #xiantober : yllz!era

“Put it in deeper.”

“Lan Zhan,” Wei Ying stares him up and down, uneasy. “Are you sure?”

“Deeper.” Lan Zhan deadpans.

Wei Ying’s hands hesitates for a second before sulking. “I can’t!”

“Wei Ying—“

“You try putting your hand in there!
What if a snake bites me?”

“There are no snakes in Burial Mound.” Lan Zhan explains for the third time.

Taking the radish seeds, he plants them into the earth pile.

“Oh the great and brave Hanguang-jun, what would I do without you?” Wei Ying teases.
Lan Zhan merely shakes his head from Wei Ying’s theatrics. “Didn’t expect the notorious Yiling Laozu to be so terrified of snakes.”

“I am but a weak and feeble man, Hanguang-jun. Please protect me well.”

“Wei Wuxian!” Wen Qing’s voice draws their attention. “Are you
