wangxian rookies in showbiz au where newbie idol Wei Wuxian is on set of a commercial wearing a ridiculously uncomfortable outfit getting yelled at for dumb reasons by his incompetent agent while bottom-of-the-totem-pole production assistant Lan Wangji is being bossed around by the awful director

Except wwx isn't actually a newbie he was once popular child actor Wei Ying seen everywhere, the golden boy of the industry known for his upbeat personality and the smile constantly on his face.

That is until his final role when he was 13 where he played a dark jaded teenage psychopath in a psychological thriller and was forced to perform intensely emotional scenes without any counselor or anyone there to keep an eye on him (his manager at the time Madam Yu's focus was always her other children's careers, Wei Ying was just an extra way to make money you see). He even got badly injured on set, and now has an ugly burn scar above his heart from a poorly done fire stunt.

But the movie flops and things just keep getting worse from there...

It gets no attention from critics that is until former golden boy becomes the teen misfit all the gossip rags talk about, with constant cover stories showing him at 15 doing drugs and partying and eventually getting kicked out by his manager/aunt at 16. The narrative becomes clear that Wei Ying is a flop and another failed child star turned deplorable diva

He disappears for a few years, only ever coming up in a low budget TMZ special or some commentary youtuber's videos, but Lan Wangji never forgot him.

Lan Wangji had often worked with his uncle when he came on as a consultant on set and so was able to watch and admire Wei Ying from afar. He's especially fond of Wei Ying's role as the happy go lucky middle child on a popular sitcom role and his smaller movie roles where he played a genius child inventor and solved crimes alongside a precocious bunny rabbit.

So well Lan Wangji has always been a fan of him so he's shocked when the new idol on set of their cheap commercial stage looks so similar to Wei Ying.

But at the same time, they're not the same at all. While Wei Ying was known for being friendly and silly, Wei Wuxian is acting like a pompous and cocktail overly confident ass, flirting with the director and everyone else while making a show of whiny and being cutesy with hopes for more screentime.

It's very unnatural and there's a moment where LWJ thinks he must have been mistaken but there's a moment in between when he's running back and forth on the producer's order while balancing cups of coffee when he spots WWX sitting by himself, huddled in a corner of the soundstage deep in the shadows where no one else is around.

He's staring at the fingernails they've painted and stuck gaudy fake jewels on and fiddling with the ridiculous black demon wings he's wearing, as he picks at the layers of makeup and stickers they've put on his face. He's tugging on his red crop top, cut indecently short and revealing so much, as watery eyes dart back and forth in front him like he's worried someone important might see.

In general he doesn't seem anything like the person he was under those lights just minutes ago.

As lwj approaches he sees that actually wwx shoulders are shaking his hands are clenched into fists, his eyes shut tight so that his makeup doesn't run

Wei Wuxiann watches as the director is barking orders for someone to fix the set as another idol takes wwx's place and finishes the shoot. Apparently his acting wasn't "peppy enough" so they've replaced him with someone else

But this was his first gig in months, years actually but months since he tried to come back and for it to fail like this, so fast without anything to show for it is absolutely devastating. He'd tried so hard to give them what he thought he wanted, desperately hoping for his big break. Only to fail again.

What does he do? What can he say? Why does he even bother?

He's staring at the floor like it might have the answer to all his problems when a pair of white sneakers appear.

He tracks those sneakers up to meet the stonefaced stare of one of the PAs he's seen running around, the youngest one who's been doing the most menial tasks. He looks somewhat familiar but his face is impassive and wwx can't tell at all what he's thinking

The PA hands him a bottle of water that wwx takes with both hands, too taken aback to do much else. Then the PA slips his headset off and sits next to him, the black faux feathers of wwx's wings brushing against the PAs arms, though he doesn't seem to mind

And so they sat. Two nobodies hidden in the shadows of a forgotten corner in a busy studio, far from the reach of the shining spotlights and stage. Little by little, wwx finds it easier to control his breathing and stray sniffles.

Eventually, the PA starts taking off his hoodie, revealing a plain white t-shirt underneath. He reaches into his pocket and holds out a marker for wwx to take as he turns so his back is facing him.

When wwx, understandably confused, doesn't do anything, the PA glances over his broad shoulders and just says "Sign, please."

Wei Wuxian blinks waiting for the punchline but it never comes. He's not even on the roster for any boy group, just a trainee idol whose only fans are the diehards who follow the trainee circuit and his sister. And this guy doesn't seem like the former and he definitely isn't the latter.

But the PA just sits and waits, back facing wwx.

Eventually, almost mechanically, he signs his new autograph, the one where he uses the 2 W's to make a smile.

He asks for a name to make the signature out to, and the PA answers in a quiet hesitant voice that he can barely hear over all the background noise, "Lan Zhan."

That name sends a spark up his spine like it should be familiar but wwx can't figure out why. So he finishes his autographs with a star and a flourish. He hasn't gotten to test out the new signature yet. He thinks he likes it better than he'd expected.

Wei Wuxian beams up at him, heart beating a beautific beat against his ribcage and asks, "Why would you want a signature from a nobody like me?"

He means it as a teasing joke but the PA, Lan Zhan his brain corrects him, gives him a grave look that steals the breath from his lungs.

"You're not nobody, Wei Ying"

Lan Zhan takes the marker and slips his hoodie back on, covering the autograph with their two names side by side, and with a final nod he walks away, melting into the general chaos of the production floor.

It takes a long moment for Wei Wuxian to realize he'd never told the guy his real name.

💠💙He Came From the Stars

By:MountainDaughter

Summary:

Wei Ying wasn't having the best day: The war was in full swing, he was being chased, and then shot out of space onto a planet he has never seen before. Could his day get worse?

Well no. It gets a hell of a lot better. The new planet has more than one surprise for him, including a soulmate who will do anything and everything to help and protect Wei Ying.

Being a Morph, a creature capable of changing their secondary shape at will, Wei Ying has been feared and hated his entire life.

How will he survive so much love and acceptance?

Chapter:1/1

How likely I am to let an MXTX protagonist babysit a child

SQQ: 7/10. The child will be safe and given a simple lesson or coloring book. The only potential downside is they may pick up atrocious communication skills.

WWX: 9/10! The child will be both entertained and kept safe. They may additionally learn some useful skills about talisman making or zombies depending on WWX’s lesson plan for the day. Top choice.

Xie Lian: -5/10. Xie Lian let a cannibal ghost run off with a child because he was too busy making out with his crush, and then didn’t look for said cannibal or ghost afterwards. Absolutely under no circumstances should he be watching a kid.

As for their love interests:

LBH: this varies! If it’s some random kid he’s going to shirk responsibility, probably onto Sha Hualing, and that way lies disaster. However is his shizun asked him to watch this child, the kid will be happily set up with excellent snacks. Then again, if SQQ seems to spoil the child too much, they could disappear under mysterious circumstances. Complete wild card.

LWJ: 9/10. Child is a okay. Will probably be returned more polite, respectful, and clean then when dropped off.

HC: 2/10. See aforementioned cannibal ghost incident. He only ranks higher than Xie Lian because he was having Mont Tonglu period cramps and Xie Lian forgot to tell him about the kidnapping.

You know, I’d love to write a fic where Shen Yuan reverse-transmigrates back to the modern world, into his comatose body, and Binghe makes the absolute, most unhinged, crazy-stalker-girlfriend impression on his family trying to get him back.

Luo Binghe; My husband has been kidnapped from me to a strange world and is being held in a cursed sleep by strangers!!!!

Shen Yuan’s family: Jesus fucking Christ this lunatic keeps trying to break into the hospital room and assaulting people while screaming that we are keeping him away from his beloved wife! Where the fuck does A-Yuan pick up these people!

(Because I refuse to believe with my whole heart that Shen Yuan hasn’t always had his wifebeam. He just previously had two rich and powerful older brothers, two protective parents, and a very observant little sister beating them back with sticks.)

I love me a pseudo-historical arranged marriage au but it always nudges my suspension of disbelief when the author has to dance around the implicit expectation that an arranged marriage should lead to children, which a cis gay couple can't provide.

I know for a lot of people that's irrelevant to what they want from an Arranged Marriage plot, but personally I like playing in the weird and uncomfortable implications.

So, I've been thinking about how you would justify an obviously barren marriage in That Kind of fantasy world, and I thought it'd be interesting if gay marriage in Ye Old Fantasy Land was a form of soft disinheritance/abdication.

Like, "Oh, God, I don't want to be in this position of power please just find me a boy to marry", or, "I know you should inherit after you father passes but as your stepmother/legal guardian I think it'd make more sense if my kids got everything, so maybe consider lesbianism?", or "Look, we both know neither of our families has enough money to support that many grandkids, so let's just pair some spares and save both our treasuries the trouble".

Obviously this brings in some very different dynamics that I know not everyone would be pinged by, but I just think it'd be neat.

Hey guys sorry about that post of shen yuan being a sentient sex robot that wasn't me, my friend took my phone and posted that. I'd never say something perverted like binghe creating an android shizun for him to use viciously to limits he can't push normal humans to- what? There's no post about that? I could have sworn I posted, I mean, my friend posted about that um. Sorry just forget this whole thing
