For the #MXTXLitLoveExchange, I am lucky to be doing a close-reading for @scarletwanlian. The following excerpt is from Chapter 9 of “take me home (where i belong)” Here is the link to “take me home (where i belong): archiveofourown.org/works/34141909…

I have been thinking about wangxian who have only recently gotten together after being friends for many years, but they are having some trouble adjusting to the changes in their relationship. The beginnings of the “problem” starts on an innocuous Friday night. Wwx and Lwj are sitting next to each other in Jyl’s living room for the monthly gathering of all their friends.

Wei Wuxian first noticed him when his companion started getting loud.

Not the happy or excited yelling of patrons who’ve had one drink too many that was typical of a Friday. No, this was anger. The man’s face had turned red enough to match the scarlet color of his garish suit, and he was quickly advancing on his frozen companion, who in Wei Wuxian’s opinion, had to be a model with a face like that.

So what if instead of Lan Wangji, Lan Qiren was sent to the Yiling Patriarch as a warprize.
