Lan Wangji wakes as he is jostled down into a hard, uncomfortable box. He blinks, trying to clear the grit from his eyes, but his vision remains fuzzy. His chest heaves, and his skin burns.
He cannot breathe. He can hardly turn his head, let alone move his arms. His mind fills with screams of agony, with the memory of blood in the water.
He wishes he had not woken.
His fin scrapes dry, rocky dirt.
"Careful," a human voice snaps nearby. "Don't damage it."

What a wildly bad business decision, @gomanga. Who do you think you are, am*z0n? Wasting money like this instead of spending it on reasonable employee compensation isn't going to get execs the long-term pay raises you think it will. We can all just get our tls somewhere else.
It's time to pivot and pivot hard, @gomanga, before it's too late. We're all listening to your employees for the next move. Why aren't you?

Lan Wangji has known of his curse since he was old enough to run.
The first time he broke free of his shufu's arms and made his unsteady way toward the bright green world beyond the entrance of the Cloud Recesses, his shufu had caught him hard, panic in his eyes.
"A-Zhan," he said, shaking him, "you must never try to go out the gate."
Lan Wangji only stared, truly afraid for the first time in his life.
"You must NEVER go near it A-Zhan, do you understand?"
He nodded, eyes wide and filling with tears. His shufu held him tight.

Married wangxian going about their days but every time WWX flits through the Jingshi and LWJ is there working, he goes to him for a kiss, and a touch, then many touches, just until the point of no return, when he stops and smiles sweetly and goes on his merry way
I just think, LWJ's head falling back into WWX's shoulder while WWX kisses down his neck and gets his hands inside LWJ's robes, and their loud breaths in the quiet, and the soft sunlight streaming in, until LWJ is pushing up into WWX's hand...and then WWX pulls away

LWJ getting kidnapped during the Yin Iron quest by Wen Xu, who decides to humiliate LWJ by messing with his memory.
WWX is of course tracking them closely, and thus opens the doors to an "inn" only to find a room full of beautiful courtesans - among them LWJ.
He's dripping in finery, his face made up to accentuate his fierce features, but the thing that stops WWX short is that LWJ doesn't even look at him at all.

What if when LWJ starts questioning the black-and-white nature of his understanding of the rules (during Sunshot) he starts wondering if maybe excessive pleasure isn't bad in the way he thought. So he starts experimenting
I can picture him...considering it. Eventually maybe trying it...and then panicking and not following through

Since I saw a gifset of drunk WWX I've been thinking about what kind of drunks wangxian are, so:
POV you are in the all-gender bathroom at a club trying to get a stain out of your shirt when an insanely beautiful guy with an easy grin and a wicked tattooed undercut walks in
You try to ignore him because 1. he's too beautiful and 2. stain problem, but when he comes back out of the stall his eyes fall on your sad paper towel via the mirror
