I do not know enough about c-pop to do a "cql characters' favorites" list, but I *do* know enough about classic eng lang pop to know that WWX is Led Zeppelin: loud, wild, deeply nerdy
Jiang Cheng is Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band: on the surface, generic rock and roll but actually incandescently angry about the state of the world

AU where JFM brings WWX home to Lotus Pier and Madam Yu tells him in no uncertain terms that the boy cannot stay or she will leave and make it known why. And so JFM writes a letter to Qingheng-jun asking if there might be space in the Lan dormitories for a novice disciple
It takes several months for an answer to come, and when it does, it is a brief letter from Lan Qiren saying yes, they would accept a disciple on JFM's reference, please send word ahead of his arrival

Wei Ying who has one photo of his parents from before he was born: the two of them with another couple, both women visibly pregnant (his mother very very pregnant, the other woman showing but not as far along) but all his ba wrote on the back is "Us and the Lans, Utah, Oct. '87"
Jiang Fengmian doesn't know the Lans - WWX has figured out that they must have become friends in the year before he was born when his mom and JFM weren't speaking to each other - and so WWX posts the picture on one of those "find the people in this photo" sites

Is there a time loop fic out there that is Jin Zixuan waking up on the day of Jin Ling's 100 day celebration or do I have to dream this up myself
I really like the idea of Jin Zixuan dying horrifically on repeat while he slowly figures out that everything can be resolved if they just let Jin Guangyao hold the baby

I Don't Go Here, but it's #omegaLWJseason and I can't stop thinking about doesn't-know-he's-pregnant LWJ on the Yiling Date, going into labor after they wake up Wen Ning and are having dinner in the Burial Mounds.
I like this because it combines my favorite things, which are: people (WWX) panicking while someone they love (LWJ) is in distress, other people (WQ, Granny Wen) being very calm and matter-of-fact in the face of that distress,

Thinking about LWJ, age 16, taken hostage in a war that's not even really a war yet, just a skirmish, a testing ground
Thinking about WWX and JC, also age 16, taking about how they'll take on the Wen and be heroes among men.

Role reversal where it's LWJ who shows up to the Yunmeng lectures without his invitation (Bc he was so nervous he left it at home), and WWX refuses to let this stuffy, stiff boy in, fully expecting him to push back and demand entry
LWJ turns around and immediately heads for the inn where he stayed last night (he'd arrived just before hai shi, and it seemed rude to request entry so late) (Yunmeng, he learns later, doesn't sleep so early and the gates of Lotus Pier are open until almost midnight)
