I dreamed of a modern cultivation AU where WWX is a crime scene cleaner.

He usually appears when the cultivators have already left, taken all their samples and recorded evidence.

But LWJ often stays behind.

Cue LWJ listening as WWX solves all kinds of cases as he cleans. He points out all the details of the scene and what they mean, speculating about what caused each mess.

He's always ridiculously accurate, far more than the average cultivator. Maybe more than an *elite cultivator*, considering he's not using any of the resources they have.

Thinking of LWJ finally deciding to go to a live RockstarXian concert. He's never been to a non-classical concert but he figures he can endure it.

He can't.

The heat, the noise and people make him faint halfway through.

Luckily, RockstarXian notices and helps him!

🎸 RockstarXian stops the concert and directs his people to help LWJ, and the audience to make way. Everyone listens.

They bring LWJ backstage and he's fine not five minutes later, sipping water and being checked over by a very efficient doctor from RockstarXian's team.

Thinking of WWX and Mianmian actually dating because they're exploring together, to see if they like being in a relationship. It's a very loose arrangement, mostly they just do fun things together and talk a lot. It's comforting to have a person to share stuff with, y'know? WWX just flirted at her once, as he usually does, and she flirted back because he was funny, if a bit dorky. Cue both of them like 🧍🏽‍♀️🧍🏽 "Oh, it actually worked... Now what?"

So now they do this thing together and become very close.

Thinking of WWX being broke af and someone suggesting dog walking for some easy money but obviously that's something that he will never do.

One day NHS is like "hey would you walk Da-Ge's iguana? He's too busy but Baxia needs sun"

And that's how WWX becomes an exotic pet walker He goes around walking and petsitting all kinds of animals. From cats that like to take walks to a temperamental donkey, he makes a living out of it.

Ferrets, an ancient tortoise, ducks, all kinds of lizards, as long as they're not dogs, he's got your back.

The neighbor boy is going through that stage in which he likes to imitate animal walks. He walks like a crab, gallops like a horse, even goes roaring with his hands close to his body, claiming he's a T-Rex.

LWJ smiles at him when they cross paths, amused by his exhuberance. He'd like a kid, sometime.

He'd even like *that* kid, as A-Yuan is delightful, but he's not really attracted to the dad, a kind and silent young man who is simultaneously goth and a cinnamon roll. A cinnamon goth.

(That's uncle WN, but LWJ doesn't know yet)

Thinking of WWX bartending at a nightclub and befriending LXC, who frequently goes there to dance, flirt and more.

LXC doesn't drink, so WWX makes him fancy mocktails and they chat sometimes, before LXC is snatched up for the evening by some pretty thing. You see, LXC is very popular. He's gay, but he usually attracts practically every eye in the club with his genial personality, love for dancing and devastating looks.

Not WWX though. He thinks LXC is good looking and a good conversationalist, but that's it.

WWX as a Wen bodyguard.

He's in the background during WX's awkward arranged date with LWJ.

WX can't see bc WWX is behind him, but WWX keeps making faces and smirking at every subtly bitchy sentence that LWJ says.

LWJ accepts a second date with WX just to see WWX again. Listen, LWJ didn't have a choice on the first date. As many young people from elite families, he was publicly invited by WX on an 'outing' to get to know each other better and couldn't refuse, or else he'd jeopardize the fragile peace amongst the most powerful ole families.

Thinking of Dragon!LXC desperately looking for his lost baby brother, only to find him happily munching on a very fierce-looking tiger's ear.

The tiger form is huge and imposing but that's nothing on the man he turns into when he notices an adult dragon appear. LXC is relieved that his brother is safe, and a bit worried that he was bothering someone so dangerous. He's also a bit speechless at the man's appearance.

Then he feels overwhelming embarrassment when baby DragonJi decides to keep munching on the man's ear even as a human.

For the 'rivals' prompt of the #WwxLqrWeek

LQR owns a bookshop. It's a new endeavor orchestrated by his nephews to keep him active and happy.

And he is. He really enjoys it.

He has the experience to actually run a business,the necessary patience to temper his love of books. LXC gets him one of those felt letter boards to put quotes from books and change them every week, and writes "live, laugh, love" as the first message because he's just Like That.

LQR lets him because he really appreciates the support. He'll change the quote soon.

Scifi AU where the Lan are renowned translators; they manage to be both concise and precise, easing communication through the different species in the galaxy and beyond.

What the public doesn't know: it's because they're low-level empaths and telepaths. Understanding how someone feels and the concepts behind someone's words help them grasp language very easily.

This ability in their home planet makes everyone very controlled, as others can feel and understand what they mean.

Conversations are brief.

Remember my headcanon from yesterday about Wangxian becoming the go-to parents for "troubled children"?

What if they end up with supposedly schizophrenic MXY? And they're the only ones to believe him when he says he can see/hear the dead?

Thing is, WWX can see/hear them too. Maybe WWX went through the exact same thing while in the system. He was called 'Mad Wuxian' and given medication to avoid his 'episodes' but that only made him drowsy and confused, which made the whole experience worse for him.

He was so alone and scared 🥺

My headcanon for the day: Wangxian decide to adopt another baby when A-Yuan starts walking, so he can have a sibling near his age.

This whole parenting thing has turned out to be lovely and they think the second time will be easier.

Wrong. They get Jingyi.

Nightmare baby.

He cries at all hours, pukes on them on the regular, pees just when they're changing him (and has an unfortunately stellar aim).

Even when he's not crying, he likes to show his enthusiasm by screeching laughter at 2am.

Anyway, AU where LQR goes on a wild phase after retirement, traveling a lot and making all sorts of weird friends.

He's not good with technology, so he never notifies his nephews about his whereabouts or when to expect him back. LXC and LWJ, both well behaved and filial since childhood, don't know how to deal with all this unstructured way of living, or how to make Uncle understand they're just worried about him.

Then Uncle mentions a pest of a man that keeps 'fighting' LQR every time they meet.

#omegaji

(This is a "OmegaJi wants babies but he's single so he goes for artificial insemination" AU)

Lxc wants a photo session of heavily pregnant OmegaJi with his belly painted in a cutesy way. That's just how Lxc is. He insists until Lwj agrees.

AlphaXian is the artist. After Lxc finally convinces Lwj, he's frantically trying to find a photographer to arrange the photo session. Eventually, through the friend of a common friend, he finds a suitable option.

But, on the day of the photo session, Lxc injures his hand and he can't paint Lwj's belly.

I love ShortJi but also consider: TinyJi. He's smoll. Tiny. Minuscule. A little handful of white jade.

He lives in a little penjing house. His sword is made of out of a big thorn.

And he's savage af.

He WILL fight you if you sneak alcohol into his sect. I don't have more background, just vibes. Everyone else is normal sized, he's just tiny. Because.

Maybe it's a curse, I don't know. I just don't know.

LRT: Celebrity AU where Lwj is a Good Boy. No scandal at all, no vices, a whole career of perfect professionalism. People respect him, yes, but also think he's kind of boring.

So his agency plans to stir up some drama and pairs him up with 'bad boy' Wwx, a metal vocalist. What they expected: Lwj and Wwx would despise each other, appear together a couple times, and the public talk about it would boost both their careers. Maybe Lwj would clean up Wwx's image a bit.

What actually happens: Lwj is a HUGE Wwx fan and takes advantage of this strategy.

#Dadxianweek

When Lwj met Wwx, he almost felt his own heart stopping. He was like anyone else he'd met before, both exasperating (affectionate) as exhilarating (horny).

He realized he was daydreaming about a future with him on the second day of meeting him. So that was that. But soon it was obvious that Wwx was maybe not free to just explore Lwj's domestic fantasies. Just a couple days later, the first mention of his kids made Lwj feel his heart fall to his stomach.

From then on, his kids were a common topic of conversation, always with a fond smile

Some time ago someone was talking about the Extra things Lwj would do for his bunnies and I'm thinking about that again.

My answer then was that he'd comission portraits of them. You know the kind, when pets are dressed elegantly in centuries old styles like this (but Chinese!) But now my thoughts are of Wwx receiving the email from Lwj with the comission request and feeling his heart grow multiple times.

He thinks it must be some good natured but weird grandpa. The house-full-of-trinkets, talks-to-himself kind. Who else would ask for such a thing?

Artist Wwx drawing a cute stranger that's sitting on the other side of a park. The sketch he makes includes a little smile, one that he spied when the man saw Wwx's son in his little bunny ensemble.

He keeps thinking about the man, eventually makes many sketches about him. Later he makes a painting that turns into a very famous piece. It's of the man looking at something, a smile on his lips (most obvious on the corner of his eyes, actually).

A lot of people want to know who's the person in the painting but he honestly says he doesn't know.

Back with #omegaLWJseason stuff:

Gotta be honest, the super aggressive Alpha stuff is not my cup of tea, but an otherwise very chill Alpha being protective and challenging multiple and/or bigger Alphas to defend an Omega sometimes can be Chef Kiss to me so here's this: Lwj has used suppressants for too long so his body is like "you gotta go Heat now" and he starts getting feverish and confused in the middle of the street.

He manages to send a very vague distress message to his brother before he almost faints.

I'm so glad #omegaLWJseason isn't over yet, because I keep thinking of OmegaJi side-eyeing Coworker!AlphaXian because he's ONCE AGAIN sweet talking some vapid omega on the phone, while WORKING.

He does this several times a week and it's so unprofessional that Lwj seethes 😤 Right now, Wwx is resting his phone on his shoulder while he types and murmurs "yes, sweetheart" here and there.

He's been on the phone for more than ten minutes and finally he closes with "Of course I love you, bunny, I'll never leave you"

Lwj clenches his teeth
