Wangxian sleeping beauty AU with a twist

Lwj is renowned to have the most beautiful and powerful soul in the world, but his birth happened on a blood moon... and when that happens, the yllz walks the earth, searching for souls to eat... And because of lwj's soul, the yllz was drawn to him. A terrible monster, he swooped in, ready to devour his meal. But by some miracle, he was stopped by Madam Lan. She threw a protective array over baby lwj that repelled the yllz, no matter how much he tried to destroy it

MDZS + TGCF crossover

A silver butterfly landed on WWX's hand, just as he was about to take a drink of Emperor's Smile. He blinked at it, something in the fluttering wings hitting a chord deep inside of him

Like a fond memory just out of your grasp He was waiting at an inn for LWJ to finish off some kind of business with some merchants (his husband was being deliberately vague about it, but WWX knew he'd find out sooner or later)

Normally he's wait for LWJ to return before doing an investigation, but this...

"Ah, he worked so hard, the little radish," WY whispered as he and LZ poked their heads into A-Yuan's bedroom that night

A-Yuan was fast asleep, his head cradled on his arms at his desk

On the desk itself, they could just make out what looked like a bunny card The card had all sorts of colourful stickers, glitter, sequins and drawings on it. Wangxian thought it was truly a work of art!

As a team, they entered the room, LZ picking A-Yuan up, WY dusting off the glitter, and then tucking him into his bunny pjs

#kaeys5k

Prompt: De-aged
Pairing: WWX & JL

"Hanguang-Jun is gonna be soooo mad."

"Oh no, his heart will be broken! Is this the end of love?"

"We can figure this out..."

"Ugh."

The Juniors all stared at the small boy standing in the middle of the triggered array He was smiling at them, eyes bright and curious. He looked like he was having the best day of his life, when in fact, the Juniors might be having the WORST day of their lives

For that child in the middle of the array was none other than Wei-qianbei

#BabyLWJSeason

Prompt: Babyji biting the substitute teacher

Never make Babyji mad

That was a rule every staff member knew about. It had even been raised by Babyji's uncle, LQR, when he dropped Babyji off for the first day of kindergarten Thankfully, Babyji was a very even tempered baby. At least he didn't treat the teachers like servants the way Babyxuan did or work the class up into a frenzy like Babyxian

Babyji happily did his thing and sucked up every bit of learning he could

#kaeys5k

Ship: Nielanyu
Prompt: Reincarnation

//polyamory

"Don't look now -"

NMJ jerks around, looking, only to be pulled back by his husband, LXC, who hisses at him

"I said don't look!" LXC takes hold of NMJ's head with both hands framing his cheeks. "I think it's him." NMJ's eyes widen dramatically

This is the first sign in millennia they'd had of their long, lost third. The person who bound them together in so many ways

MXY

He'd failed to reach immortality before he died, and the pair left behind had been looking for him ever since

#kaeys5k

Prompt: WWX & LQR besties featuring Tofu and Peanut Bunner

It's time

WY is so excited. He's been waiting for this day for months. Waiting for his and LZ's bunnies, Tofu and Peanut Bunner, to grow big enough to explore the big, wide world He pulls out the special bunny harnesses that he'd bought especially for this occasion: The bunnies' first walk

Even though he'd never seen himself as a bundad before meeting LZ, the moment they adopted the two Flemish Giant rabbits, he'd KNOWN this was meant to be

#kaeys5k

Ship: Wangxian
Tag: Chosen family

The moment WY got the call from his friend MXY, he demanded the younger man arrive at his doorstep within 15min or "I'm hunting you down."

Having known WY for years, and knowing exactly what that meant, MXY didn't disobey him Although he was only four years younger than WY, standing on the doorstep, drenched from the rain outside and carrying a plastic bag of his worldly possessions, MXY looked like he was a teenager again

Feeling like he wants to go to war for his friend, WY pulls him inside

#kaeys5k

Pairing: WY and LQR becoming besties through baby A-Yuan
Tag: LQR realizes his judgement was wrong and he wants to mend their bond and show WY how much he cares and supports him

(this thread might be slightly different to the prompt!) WY shows up on LQR's front porch one day, looking like he's one step away from a new parent meltdown. Baby A-Yuan is cradled gently in his arms, crying with everything in him

Despite everything, LQR deftly scoops A-Yuan from WY's arms and invites them inside

#kaeys5k

Ship: Mothxian and Witchji
Prompt: Witchji and Mothxian find an injured A-Yuan and they adopt him after nursing him back to health!

The sound of an alarmed squeak has Witchji hurrying into the garden - he knows that squeak! It has come from his sometimes-smol-sometimes-lorge husband, Mothxian

When he gets outside, he spots his smol husband hovering over a little butterfly spirit. A flame butterfly, to be exact

Oh

Oh, Witchji thinks he knows what has happened

#kaeys5k

Ship: Xicheng
Prompt: There was only one bed

JC: Your brother is behind this, I bet you!

LXC: Hm, we won't know until we find them

JC: We'd better find them soon, or I'm going to tear apart the Jianghu looking for them!

LXC: Calm yourself, we'll find them JC: That's easy for YOU to say! YOUR sect hasn't been put to sleep by a Lan array that has been tinkered with using demonic cultivation!

LXC: This is true, but you must have patience and confidence that we will find them

JC isn't so sure, but he huffs and keeps walking

#kaeys5k

Tag: So in love, the juniors refuse to be around them in public
Ship: Wangxian

"Open up wide, here comes the dumpling! Nyooooom!"

"Mn. Wei Ying must eat too. Wei Ying needs nutrients for later tonight."

"Aiyo, it's okay, you'll take care of me, like you always do!" The Juniors stare with horror at the sickly in love pair across the table

One has a dumpling poised on his chopsticks, the other is staring besottedly at his husband, ears pink

They've only been sitting here for 10min, and the Juniors already want to bail

#kaeys5k

Tag: Soulmate meet-cute
Ship: Wangxian

"You are wearing your clothing inside out."

Modern autistic LZ found it so very hard to understand why this was. Clothes were to be worn right side out, every button buttoned, every seam straight

Not... this THIS was like being undressed at a party. This man was wearing his shirt inside out, tags flying in the breeze, hemmed seams wibbly wobbly, and threads laid bare

LZ felt physical pain as he gazed at those seams and threads. He wanted to scratch reflexively at his skin

Princeji striding purposefully into the throne room to confront his brother, the emperor

Princeji: The YLLZ is not our enemy

LXC: 🤨

Princeji: He has been hunting our true enemy FOR us

LXC, leaning forward: Oh? How do you know this? Princeji: Because the YLLZ is my lover. And I have been helping him search

The YLLZ walks into the throne room to stand behind Princeji. He crosses his arms, smirking, but Princeji feels his silent support

The advisors shrink back. The emperor narrows his eyes

Princeji standing at the gates to his city, watching the invading army roar toward him

He will not be afraid. He is the only one standing between the empire's annihilation and the Warlord that had crushed every defence the empire had Horses scream and warriors bellow as they halt just before the gates

Princeji lifts his chin proudly

There is one warrior, one stronger, more frightening than all the rest in this army, and he stares down at Princeji with a smirk on his beautifully carved lips

WY: LASER TAG LASER TAG LASER TAG! YEAH! IT'S MY BIRTHDAY AND I'M GONNA BEAT YOU ALL AT LASER TAG!

NHS: Are you sure I can't commentate on this from the sidelines? You know I'm terrible at sports...

JC: Don't you worry, together we'll bring Wei Ying down

WY: Ha! JC: Famous last words

WY looks at LZ, who is quietly following along, looking like a fish out of water. It had taken WY many days to convince LZ to come, only getting an agreement when he said they could do some other friends celebration the following day

#BabyLWJSeason

Babyji: Gotta get Tofu a snack!

Little feet hustle through the house, their cadence hurried and determined

The sound is quickly followed by the scampering of bunny feet

Babyji and Tofu stare up at the treat jar on the high shelf. They look at each other Babyji: Gotta get Tofu a treat

He climbs up on the chair next to the shelf and reaches across with a plump hand. Nearly there!

His fingertips nudge the jar. The jar wobbles. He pushes the jar a little more

It hits the floor with a dull thud, the lid rolling off

The world may not be made for people like autistic LZ, but there will always be one person who IS

One person who never leaves him behind, one person who encourages him, one person who will be that buffer between him and the world if he needs it WY, his heart. From the moment they'd met across the messy expanse of a classroom when they were three, when WY marched over and asked if LZ liked bunnies, LZ had known

People told him he was being ridiculous when he said he would marry WY one day

Peanut Bunner and Tofu have a plan

And their separate babas, WY and LZ, had better follow that plan! (Even though they're not going to know about said plan) You see, Peanut Bunner and Tofu live next door to each other, and they've noticed their babas staring longingly over the fence when the other isn't looking

Such silly babas! Don't they know that if they find their soulmate, they need to hold on to the other?

It's matchmaking day! At last, WWX will be taking the next momentous step in his life

And WCZ couldn't be prouder

CSSR couldn't give a fig for the Matchmaker's opinion, or anyone else's, but WCZ likes the ritual of it all His own parents met through the matchmaker, and his grandparents, and his great grandparents

He's confident their son will find his happiness in the same way

Well, he WAS. Until it became apparent that Lan-er-gongzi was also visiting the Matchmaker on that day

The day that WY gets to open his first attempt at making his own preserved chilli peppers is a day of celebration

He's SO excited!

He even does a little groovy dance on the way to the pantry WY has always wanted to can his own foods, liking the idea of being self-sufficient (and also, there's only so many chillies he can eat before they go bad once they're harvested!)

So, when LZ bought him a book on how to preserve your own foods, it was a sign!
