#wangxian
modern AU secretly married trope but LWJ is a few years older so when they moved to a new city, LWJ just happens to be..
..WWX's professor.
yep. his professor. and, well. they have to hide it. you know. for less drama and rumors.
#wangxian
wwx in post canon, post marriage, would always call lwj's name, and when his husband looks at him, makes face and giggles. it would always be like that. and lwj would always look fondly at him.
one day, lwj just.. makes a face back.
dont you ever sit down and just think about how long 13 years actually is? and how, all throughout, lwj lived his own life while honoring wwx's name and everything he stood up for.
lwj wasnt given a memo, no one told him he only had to wait a certain no. of years, he just lived.
i would very much like to have wwx rushing to kindergarten to fetch his son a-yuan because he doesnt stop crying. but when he arrives there, a-yuan is already tamed by his pretty teacher, lwj.
when asked, lwj says, "a-yuan was devastated when he found out your name is not baba."
#wangxian
but it's CR lectures arc wwx who gets a "kiss curse" which makes him, OBVIOUSLY, wants to kiss people in various ways. for various reasons.
he kisses his shijie's cheeks in adoration, who smiles at him. he kisses jc's forehead, who glares at him.
he kisses lwj.
lqr never liked that boy, wwx.
he never liked him; his improper stance, his annoying grin and his rule-breaking attitude. but for wangji, he would tolerate him.
because as much as lqr dislikes the fact, lwj fancies wwx very much. lqr doubts it is reciprocated. until one day.
#wangxian
yknow that time when u have a bad dream abt an old friend getting hurt, & you message them to ask if theyre ok, to make sure?
wwx dreams of lwj that way. he wakes up in the middle of the night w/ an urge to message. they havent seen eo in 2yrs. he thinks lwj hates him.
#pregxianseason
canon divergence, CR lectures arc where wwx and lwj fuck in the library pavilion halfway through wwx's punishment.
when wwx hears that lwj gets cursed in a nighthunt, losing his memories of the past year, wwx decides to shut his mouth about his pregnancy.
"what the hell is this?!" Su She yells, staring at the monitor. he shivers at the wallpaper on WWX's computer.
everybody hears, but almost no one looks. it's a normal day. SS, as a manager, is always angry. and WWX just happens to be today's target.
//mentions of mpreg
"i took a pregnancy test yesterday," WY says, looking at LZ's eyes. his heartbeat fastens.
he'd been unwell the past few days, and bcs he is WY, he thought it was just the flu, not until he heard a coworker being pregnant and he thought, maybe...
#wangxian
photographer!wwx randomly taking photos of pretty strangers to post on his tiktok.. (yes, this is chinese street fashion videos)
and captures lwj wearing a hanfu in the busy streets of beijing.
// mpreg
thinking once again about WWX who died pregnant at the burial mounds. he gets resurrected in MXY's body with the trauma still in him.
everybody else thinks it's just his malnutrition and his issues with healthy food. but it's not.
"i dont understand vampire novels," WWX says. "why do the vampires take interest with highschoolers? they're basically their grandchildren!"
beside him, LWJ looks at him, amused.
"you know im right! why dont they just--"
"make the teacher their lover instead," LWJ continues.
modern
#wangxian
but wwx is the office slut; it's an open secret that he has taken almost every male employee in their company to bed.
everyone wants a piece of him, and a piece of him they get. but they can only take him ONCE.
cue in a virginal, newly hired lwj.
imagining this angsty scene where wangxian is in an arranged marriage. WWX, of course, gets sick weeks later and suffers a temporary amnesia and mistakes their loveless marriage as otherwise.
he smiles at LWJ, attempts to talk to him, makes him tea (he burns his finger),
today is lsz's graduation, and as his dads told him, his day. of course they wouldnt want to ruin it.
lsz does the 🥺 look to wwx and lwj. "but i want you both on stage with me."
wwx chuckles. "ayuan, the whole school will explode if they know lan zhan and i are married."
adult WWX time travelling by mistake into the past and decides to be a menace and tease teen WWX out of spite (bcs he is annoying, and bcs adult WWX is pregnant)
teen WWX, eyeing his older self: there's something different about you
adult WWX: my, of course im older now!
#wangxian
but what if post-resurrection wwx doesnt play wangxian on the dafan mountain? he decides to hide his identity and disappear after the mo family dies.
then he stumbles upon the juniors in a nighthunt, gets cursed, which in result gives him the form of his original body.
photographer LWJ at JYL's wedding taking photos and documenting said event, only to end up taking EVERY photo with WWX in it.
the bridal entrance? theres WWX crying in the corner.
the entourage? theres WWX with a big, big smile.
#wangxian
when wangxian marries, lwj takes it upon himself to learn how to stay up late just like wwx. hes been trying even before the wedding & now weeks into the marriage, he can finally do it!
"wei ying, let us watch a movie?"
"sure! now?"
"no. at midnight."
teen wangxian AU where once WWX realizes his crush over LWJ, he gets hopeless. he's so down bad that he unconsciously develops a habit of referring to LWJ as his "boyfriend" when talking about him to others.
i just had the thought of university student wwx on his graduation day; he bags the highest honors, he skips his way to get his diploma with a big smile, then he jumps to the strictest, handsomest professor standing on the stage, kissing him on his lips.
it's professor lwj.
// mpreg
i just imagined this; teen wwx having been interrogated by principal lqr when he spotted wwx carrying a positive pregnancy test.
ofc lqr isnt a snitch, but hes worried so he told wwx to talk to him in his office. in the middle of questioning, lwj busts the door open.
wangxian is set up on a blind date by mutual friends. theyre trying their best to hide the fact that theyre 2 mins into the date and theyre already so into each other.
WWX: so. what are your hobbies?
LWJ: reading, listening to music and cooking
WWX: oh you cook? i dont cook 😅
#wangxian
wait wait hear me out,,
something is obviously wrong with wwx but he refuses to talk it out. meanwhile, his bff lwj knows wwx's comfort character is hgj from his favorite novel
lwj dresses up as hgj.
lwj (unwillingly) attends a college party and meets wwx, crossdressed, in the bathroom. lwj is not interested until he realizes that a) wwx is not a girl and b) this is the guy whose laugh made lwj's heart skip a beat when he saw wwx the first time last week.

#wangxian
in a zoom meeting where lqr is teaching his students (including wwx), he requires everyone to open their camera for the whole session. wwx doesnt. and lqr calls him out.
but how can wwx open his camera when lqr's nephew, wwx's boyfriend, lwj, is fucking his mouth?
rich kid LWJ who doesnt know how to cross the road, miserably looks at the street he needs to cross so he could get to the diner.
he only recently knew how to ride a public transpo and it was so scary! now this?
here's a
#wangxian
thought;
lwj, the youngest businessman to become CEO, encounters wwx in lan corp who thinks lwj is an intern like him. lwj didnt pretend to be one; wwx just assumed. but he also doesnt tell wwx the truth. he's too lovestruck for that.
#wangxian
they say when youre close to dying, the heavens give you a chance to see a glimpse of a certain time in the future you would ask for.
so as wwx falls from that cliff, he asks, 'please show me the happiest day that would happen to the people i love.'
bestfriends wx who always get mistaken as a couple. theyre buying new furniture for their shared apartment & people are like, 'oh what a cute newlyweds!' theyre adopting bunnies and theyll hear people say, 'look at this cute couple!'

#wangxian
tweeting wangxian whose sex vid gets leaked and now i cant stop thinking abt camboy!wx. apparently wwx is climbing to the ranks of the most streamed camboy (hes at 33; lwj is at 1).
wwx is curious abt lwj, since hes the most famous in that site so he studies him.
WWX: i fucking wanna get laid so bad! 😩😩
JC: why dont you go and tell the whole world if youre gonna keep yelling like that? 🙄
WWX: no JC, you dont understand!
NHS: well, then maybe you should--
WWX: i mean i want to have sex with my boyfriend!!
// cw mpreg , abo
the older ones always complimented wwx since he was young
"what a very healthy omega!"
"a-ying is so healthy and fertile, for sure he will easily bear children!"
so when wwx marries his high school sweetheart lwj, he expects to carry the night after honeymoon.
#wangxian
lan jingyi had always wanted to be professor lan's (note: not his relative) student. so when rumors go around mid-semester about professor lan's supposed husband retiring, he is beyond shocked.
mr. lan has a retiring husband? is mr. lan married to an old man?!
i'll probably wont write it like a proper fic but i imagine a mod
#wangxian
office au where lwj notices his co-worker wwx does not go home.
hes always in the office. he doesnt go home. hes, like.. camping there. lwj comments nothing abt it, but their colleagues start gossiping.
LWJ and WWX ride the same train so two months into the semester, they find each other in a routine where they go home tgt... as friends.
or so WWX thought.
one day, while wwx is enthusiastically telling a story, LWJ sighs. which is strange. LWJ never sighs. not that way.
WWX, barging into LWJ's dorm room: lan zhan! you better take responsibility for this! *shoves the pregnancy tests*
LWJ: 😳😳
LQR and LXC, who are also in LWJ's room that day: 😮😮
WWX, who's only pranking LWJ and is holding white chocolate as "pregnancy tests": 😱😱😱
// cw character death
yllz wwx dying on the first battle in the nightless city. lwj, crying, tells him he loves him, while wwx tells him to get lost. but then lwj's desperate cries reach wwx. he hears every pain, every sob.
"lan.. lan zhan?" he asks.
"wei ying. i love you."
wwx dressing up for halloween (a.k.a his birthday party) with a sexy bunny costume but he thinks he's bloated these days so he asks lwj to help him wear a corset.
"lan zhan, do you think it's tight enough?"
lwj eyes wwx's body. "i believe wei ying is perfectly tight."
wwx hardly sleeps.
as an orphan, he had to be wary all the time. the street was too dangerous.
as a teenager, he had to watch his actions. a simple mistake could cause problems in the sect that took him in.
as the yllz, he had to be alert. everyone wanted him dead.
and now..
WWX, looking at a photo of lwj caring for a lost child: i want kids 🥺🥺
JC: in this fucking economy?!
WWX: you do know lan zhan is super rich, right? 🤨
JC: and how are you sure your lan zhan even likes you 🤨
WWX: you are so rude 😭 now i need a hug from my kid 🥺
i want a modern LWJ who decides to finally listen to everyone else's, esp his brother's, advise to "go out and see the world!" "flirt, wangji! use what you have and get an experience!"
but the moment LWJ flirts, makes out with, and have sex with the prettiest man+
so i imagine a 1990s college wangxian AU where lwj owns a white car that kinda looks like a taxi.. and wwx, after a a huge fight with the jiang and pushing away his adopted siblings, rides it and asks lwj to take him away.
lwj is confused why his crush is ugly crying.
LWJ, attempting to flirt: may I buy you a drink?
WWX: oh, no thanks, alcohol is bad for my legs 😫
LWJ: do they swell?
WWX: no, they spread 😏
LWJ: 😳
WWX: never mind, give me the glass 😉
LWJ: 🥵
LWJ is not a fan of casual touch. it is a known fact and everybody knows that. it is, however, a known fact as well that the loud, mischievous boy who's the total opposite of him rides the same train as him. WWX, his classmate, is very friendly and veeeryy touchy.
wwx, at midday in the middle of the main hall of cloud recesses: lan zhan, lan zhan!! 😁😬🤪
lwj, passing by and seeing his dorky husband: wei ying. 😶😛😜
wwx: wait 👁️👄👁️
wwx would ask his husband do it again, but lwj doesnt. he just looks at him innocently like he didnt just shake wwx's world.
when wwx tells the juniors about it, no one believes him. it's a pity.
#wangxian
i think it would be fun to explore a modern AU where wangxian breaks up but they.. cant take being away for each other.. so they decide that hey! why dont they just keep on living together but as.. friends??
so they do.
LWJ, the day after getting drunk
WWX: lan zhan, thank god you're awake! ive been meaning to tell you the hilarious story of how my boss yelled at me when i quit my job this morning lol🤣
LWJ: ..wei ying quit?😦
WWX: yeah!
LWJ: why?
WWX: well, it's because i just got married! 😁
yknow whats funny? it's when mob boss lwj becomes freshman wwx's boyfriend & everybody is just so sure that lwj is up to no good. hes always pokerfaced! he looks cold! he doesnt talk!
but then wwx gets drunk, acts silly & lwj just. smiles. his eyes disappear, his face brighten.
i love some wangxian office drama where lwj, the manager who never once used his vacation/sick leave, uses it and it's the same day as the newest employee as wwx!
at first everyone thinks it's just a coincidence. but wwx takes a leave the following week, and so does lwj.
// mpreg
in a modern au, university student wwx who loves his body and wears daring clothes would STILL wear daring (and revealing) clothes to school even when he's pregnant and swollen.
so it becomes a normal occurrence to see him at school wearing a cute crop top that shows
WWX, a college dropout with depression and a malnourished bank account would totally flirt with hr LWJ during his job interview because why not? what else should he do facing a literal god with his pretty eyes and attractive face and body? WWX cannot help it!
Everyone is baffled to see the news headline. in the photo is LWJ, the esteemed bachelor in his 40's, the richest businessman in the country and a known philantropist, escorting a heavily pregnant, unknown guy to his black masserati in the countryside at dawn.
#wangxian
babyxian sees babyji in the far most corner of the playground that day. he seems lonely, so babyxian decides to befriend him. at the end of the day, theyre married.
"it's dark now. i should go home," babyxian says.
"mn. go with me."
babyji is only almost successful.
it started with a kiss AU where WWX is so done with everyone either having a crush on (mostly the girls) or hating (mostly the boys) LWJ so one day, he argues with JZXun, who had been busy talking shit on LWJ, in front of the whole class
JZXun: why are you defending him anyway?!
YLLZ!WWX: me? in love with lan zhan? he may be perfect and the most beautiful man ever but im not in love with him! if i liked guys, then maybe, but im not so..
the ghosts at the burial mounds:
found this idea in my drafts but modern wangxian actors AU where LWJ is the main lead and WWX is the other main lead's loser bestfriend lol
everyone ships LWJ and his onscreen partner, but damn do they have to see the day where news abt LWJ and WWX's dating break out.
// mpreg
look, i want pregnant WWX to burst thru the door into one of LWJ's meetings with the sect leaders, sit on a chair and eye everyone else, judging them, saying nothing.
everyone else besides his husband leaves, ofc, because they know what this means; WWX wants them out.
WWX spits a bitter laugh. "You cannot love me, Lan Wangji."
Hearing his courtesy name from his beloved's lips, LWJ can only stare. "Says who?"
"Says me," he answers. "You do not associate with the devil. You do not love those who hurt you."
"Wei Ying has never hurt me."
#wangxian
lwj, mostly known as hgj, is one of the greatest demon hunters in the world. he excuses no demon; none of them are good, they all need exorcism.
wwx is a snake demon who emerges into the mortal world after thousands of years, trying to date.
teacher lan would be there.
"baba is named wei ying," a-yuan says, like the genius he is. wwx nods happily. a-yuan turns to lwj. "is teacher lan my a-die?"
wwx chokes on his saliva.
#wangxian
arranged marriage AU but wangxian are in their 20s and the elders believe it's time they marry. but while lwj certainly likes the handsome and cheerful wwx, hes afraid that confessing will seal his fate into a married life where he's pressured to have kids early.
wangxian bumps into each other on the street.
WWX: lan zhan?? is it you? *proceeds to flirt w/ LWJ right away* 😁😊
WWX: *realizes theres a girl w/ LWJ*
WWX, turning to MM: oh sorry i didnt mean to flirt with your date, i do this to everyone dont worry 😁
LWJ: 😐😐
#wangxian
wwx pranks lwj by "stealing" his wallet, planning to force the man to eat with him later. it's funny, except that wwx doesnt know it's not lwj's wallet, but rather a cursed item. it shows the photo of the holder's most treasured person.
wwx sees a photo of himself.
listen. lwj is not perfect. the first time wwx saw him become so "human" is when he got a migraine.
turns out, lwj's migraine has certain triggers; lighting, motion, and the likes. he gets super sensitive when he has a migraine, and snappy too.
#wangxian
a grindr notification pings and everyone in the study group--jzx, wq, wn, jc and mm--looks around, finding whose phone it is from. everyone, except wwx and lwj.
lwj, bcs hes the only one seriously studying; and wwx, bcs he checks his phone. it's not his.
// modern wx
you see, sometimes WWX underestimates the length LWJ would reach for the sake of him. he's not belittling LWJ's love, no, but they're new, and WWX is just.. still in awe. like today.
WWX broke his heels earlier. LWJ made him wear his shoes. and now, he's barefoot.
married
#wangxian
is the type to get into a petty fight bcs while three-weeks pregxian wants two kids, lwj implies he wants three. it gets so petty that everyone just wants to smack their heads tgt.
the fight ends when they find out wwx is carrying quadruplets.
and because im jobhunting, let me give you this
#wangxian
thought;
tipsy wwx jokingly makes a resume in the middle of the night stating that he is "lan wuxian" whose most recent job position is "lwj's househusband". he, of course, accidentally sends it to lan corp's email.
#wangxian
whats interesting to see is post canon, post marriage wwx who gets back in time during the CR lectures arc. then he accidentally makes lwj extremely jealous bcs he keeps on calling lxc "xichen-ge"
he already hinted hes married too, so what else would lwj think?
"'course it is! i didnt intend it to be discovered this way, but SS sucks. how come hes the manager?!" WWX's face sours.
"right!! guess he deserved to see your family photo with Mr. Lan and Yuan in your computer. you shouldve seen his face before he passed out HAHAHA!"
idk i just suddenly imagined a "whats wrong with secretary kim" wangxian AU 🥹
except that instead of being a "narcissist" lwj is the type of CEO who's built walls around him. wwx is that secretary who spent 9 years working for lwj to pay for the wens' debts.
#wangxian
people would think that wwx is the shameless one. but after wangxian's marriage when wwx is genuinely, truly, exhausted, lwj would still pepper kisses on his neck.
normally wwx would dramatically say, "such an insatiable beast, hgj! your poor husband is tired."
but no
// cw mpreg
i think it would be real funny if wwx is the type of person who gets halfway into his pregnancy without knowing it. no symptoms or any visible signs.
lets give him that, ok? he'll feel sick, lwj will make him rest, they go into the hospital and BAM! pregnant.
modern AU enemies to lovers but wangxian are both actors and are shooting as a lead couple in a romance drama. wwx insists lwj is NOT hot; lwj insists he isnt interested in wwx AT ALL
out of pettiness, they both dont wear their modesty patches on the day they shoot a love scene.
WWX singing the male version of "dear future husband" to LWJ, still in his pyjamas, waking up in a very good mood.
LWJ puts down his cup of tea to watch WWX sing and dance. he stares, fond, and at the end of the WWX's song, adds, "wei ying, i /am/ your husband."
ceo LWJ left his phone at home by mistake on a work day and bcs secretary WWX has a company phone, decides to let it be.
not until LWJ has to make a call but WWX is not answering from the intercom. LWJ has to fetch the phone on his own but sees the gallery instead.
listen, i just suddenly had this thought; concubine LWJ, who overhears emperor WWX and a high ranking official talk about the need of getting a royal empress to carry his child.
WWX sees him, his eyes growing wide. "l-lan zhan, i can explain."
LWJ doesnt even blink.
modern LWJ being so done with WWX's teasing that one day when WWX shoves milk tea in front of his face, he just.. explodes.
WWX: come on, lan zhan! have some!😁
LWJ: ..
WWX: i promise it's good and not an insult to tea like you said last time. now, dont be a fuddy duddy and--
#wangxian
wwx is about to fall off the bridge when someone pulls him back by the collar of his shirt. face stained with tears, he looks back, angry, at the man who just interrupted his death.
said man, tho, is pointing a gun at him. wwx's eyes widen.
// mpreg
okay, forgive me for this one but im imagining a whumpxian fic where teen wwx is secretly pregnant, while his adoptive sister jyl also is.
just imagine wwx having to endure it all by himself, not wanting to anger uncle jiang or madame yu. not telling anyone, even jyl.
#wangxian
head empty, it's just recently came out wwx seeing the new hire lwj and remembering it's his crush from college!
he never knew him, but wwx took one look at the quiet guy from graduation and wondered why he never saw such beauty in his 4 yrs of studying there.
WWX gets dared to make a reaction out of LWJ
WWX, approaching: lan zhan, you should date me.
LWJ: mn
WWX: haha got ya, you were shocked right--wait, what? 😮😳
LWJ: wei ying is right. i should date him 😌
WWX: wait no you were supposed to get angry!
// mpreg
pregxian wakes up in the middle of the night, grumpy, shakes lwj awake and tells him, "lan zhan. i want to suck your cock."
LWJ: 😐😳
WWX: take off your undies now 😠😠
LWJ: ..mn 😌
no thoughts head empty just WWX after being thrown into the burial mounds, coreless and half-dead, emerging out of the hell he'd been to, powerful yet malnourished and hungry.
he's starving. and then he spots a pair of rabbits at the foot of the mountain.
#wangxian
so there's secretly married but how about pretending to be secretly married? wangxian are spies and it just happens that nhs sees them hiding on a dark corner.
before wwx can think of an excuse, lwj pulls him close and kisses him.
yknow that school project in highschool where they make the students take care of a "baby" so they can learn about responsibility etc etc
i just imagined teen WWX seeing LWJ (who ppl call cold and unfeeling) the become the softest "dad" ever. WWX melts at the sight of
#wangxian
lwj meeting his former classmate wwx (who he had a massive crush on) by chance and when wwx smiles and opens his mouth to greet him, lwj runs away.
why? bcs wwx daw lwj in his awkward teenage phase. and anyone who knew lwj during that time cannot be in his life now
pre-relationship wangxian meeting again (after being so busy with college life) during the holidays, but when wwx asks lwj how he is, he panics and blurts out a, "i am dating this someone.."
it's like the lamest lie ever. lwj is in love with his friend/neighbor/former classmate
#wangxian
wwx, in a party, picking lwj when he gets a dare to get locked in the same room for an hour.
he already feels bad to have dragged lwj in this, but unlike his expectation where he would tease lwj and have his sole attention, lwj sits on a corner. and he's crying.
new dormmates wwx and lwj are both not used to having someone in the same room so there's one time when wwx got home only to remove his clothes until he's walking with only his briefs on..
and there's lwj, frozen mid-squat (he was doing yoga) in tight leggings (no shirt on).
"wei ying. what happened?"
lwj is staring at wwx with that look again, the very same look wwx doesnt want to see on his soulmate's face. he doesnt respond.
"wei ying. please..."
wwx looks away, catching his breath.
"got unlucky," wwx says. "turns out, im dead, lan zhan."
