au where wwx & a-yuan walk past lwj's house on the way to school every morning and a-yuan always has to stop to say hello to the bunnies in the front garden i think lwj would have an office with a front-facing window and he sees this adorable little child and his dad(?) coming by every day and it's like. one of the highlights of his morning. of course he doesn't say anything or make himself known but it makes him smile

thinking about wangxian first kissing in spring moonlight... the night is damp and cool and has that wonderful fresh night smell all around them, and everything is exciting and new and full of possibilities i don't know exactly when or how this happens but i want it!! the vibes!! maybe hm... arranged marriage, they've been slowly falling together for weeks now, but it's all been UST and listening to the sound of the other breathing and awkward glances and smiles

au where wwx is strapped for cash so his friend nhs quietly informs him that they're looking for nude models for the life drawing classes the local arts centre runs for over 60s and wwx is like "great! old people! no risk of it being weird!" until he meets the very hot teacher i think wwx would probably not be a stranger to modelling bc nhs has done photography with him but he's never had to do it nude before and he's nervous about that and then he's extra nervous when he walks in and lwj comes up like "here is a single drape for you to wear"

i love to think about lwj just casually non-sexually domming his best friend wei ying into taking care of himself like especially with message check-ins like "have you eaten today?" and wwx is of course like "yeah i had three peanut butter cups for breakfast!" so lwj comes by his work to drop off a tupperware full of lunch with the instruction to send him a photo of it empty when he's done

wangxian who are fucking during the sunshot era is such delicious a concept. bc you get your post-battle horny tent fucking. and then you can add on your yllz kink. and then you can add on wwx coming back in mxy's body and being unsure if lwj still wants to be with him ok aubrey says i should continue so i shall: i was especially thinking about the history of their relationship in regards to wwx's return, and that feeling of coming back to someone you had a thing with when you were both younger that never really ended and how you go about that

thinking about an au where wangxian are fuckbuddies because no matter how many people wei ying goes on dates with, none of them leave him as satisfied as lan zhan does i think the first time this happens, wwx's been on a date with a guy his colleague set him up with, and it's just been. boring. like they went out for a meal and it was fine and they went and got drinks and it was fine and they went back to the guy's house and it was fine but.

i made myself sad by thinking about how tenderly lwj cradles wwx in his arms whenever the opportunity presents itself :( i think lwj knows just how vast and overwhelming his love can be—there's the precedent of his father, of the lans only loving once, of how the first time he lost wwx it was like his own heart had been torn out—and i think he's scared of losing him again, not through death or injury or resentful energy, but through loving him too much. like if he holds him too hard or keeps him too close then it'll be come back to gusu all over again

not to be horny on main but im thinking about pre-relationship wangxian going away for the weekend together (for lwj's birthday, maybe?), just the two of them, which is TOTALLY what best friends do, RIGHT? and the heating goes out in the cabin they're staying in and......... actually you know what im in the mood for a little thread fic

ok so i did commit some crimes with that last tweet so:

wwx keeps disappearing for hours on end. lwj does not know where he is going or what he is doing. when he asks he merely gets a smirk and a nose-tap and "you'll find out later, er-gege!" "later" turns out to be weeks later, actually, when snow has settled over cloud recesses and the stream that goes underneath the bedroom window of the jingshi has frozen and lwj has awoken on his birthday morning to find his husband grinning at him from the region of his hips.

i still have climber wwx on the brain so i am thinking about him at the bouldering wall, being loud and attractive with his friends in his sweaty vest top and chalky shorts and messy bun, and lwj in his leggings and neat braid watching him silently across the mats and *wanting* i think wwx goes with jc and a couple of other jiang guys mostly for fun, despite the fact that he's probably one of the best climbers in there (he's so willing to just give anything a go) and messes about and challenges his friends and stuff. and lwj goes alone for better focus

i think when it snows and wangxian go to the park wwx ends up dragging everyone nearby and willing into a massive snowball fight and lwj and a-yuan retreat to a quiet corner to make snow angels together lwj's is huge and graceful and a-yuan's is tiny and very cute. and then lwj gets hit with a snowball from wwx so he crouches down to a-yuan and says "do you think we should get him back?" and a-yuan squeals and giggles and they make a massive snowball together

au where lwj is an asmrtist and he needs a live model to do "back and hair play - scratching, brushing, tracing, oil massage" on so he asks his good friend and roommate wwx to help out this and any subsequent thoughts is 100% inspired by this video btw

wangxian are at a party with their friends playing scrabble. nhs is very drunk and not trying, jc is getting very loud about the rules and waving about his phone dictionary, wwx is trying to keep up, and lwj very steadily spells out the word "rimming" with a completely blank face wwx is like, i know lz has been on a few dates but ***rimming***? and he just stares and quietly adds "tree"

jc, meanwhile, is spluttering and gobsmacked, glares at nhs all "you're just gonna let this happen?!" and nhs is beside himself giggling

vaguely steampunk au in which lwj is a time traveller who has got stuck in 19th century london, where his only way out might be with the help of the eccentric clockmaker who flirts aggressively at him every time he enters his shop this is gonna be a thread fic mostly inspired by this conversation in which tuva said: this is what you would write, and i was like: ok yes i do want to write it

any cws will be added as we go! but it will be nsfw

pre-relationship lwj giving rigging classes in which wwx is his bratty but very willing model ALRIGHTEE cw for d/s, bondage, nsfw. anything else i will throw up along the way

au where lwj makes audio-only asmr porn videos in which he quietly directs you through getting yourself off before telling you a bedtime story ok so there is a fic out there that is a bit like this (archiveofourown.org/works/25492462) but i did have some further thoughts

nsfw!
