Anyway, what woukd happen if Nie Huaisang gets a metal martial arts fan.. Do you think he would finally whoop some ass instead of outsmarting them in extravagant fashion?

As cool as NHS kicking ass would be, he has his babygirl reputation to maintain.

I've worn the same t-shirt, I haven't washed my hair

But all of that's fine when I don't go outside 'cause lately I'm not fond of the light

And I colored in all of the lenses on my glasses

And stay in bed because it's better when I'm fast asleep

In my dreams, no one believes what they see

Huaisang knew he should walk away, but Lan Wanji had been acting strangely all day and now the man was telling his brother why. As he listened, though, his eyes grew wide with horror.

Lan Wanji's explanation was slow and would have been opaque had Huaisang not heard the exact same thing only hours before from Wei Wuxian.

Lan Wanji and Wei Wuxian were not together. When they had been found kissing, that had been their first kiss. Lan Wanji had kissed Wei Wuxian because he had heard the rumors of an arranged marriage and had kissed Wei Wuxian out of desperation. He'd thought that if he pretended to like Wei Wuxian, the arranged marriage would be canceled and then Uncle would forbid his relationship with Wei Wuxian, leaving Lan Wanji single as he preferred.

(Wei Wuxian had had different reasons, but similar actions.)

As soon as he'd done, he'd regretted it. However, instead of shoving him off, Wei Wuxian kissed back and it was good. (Lan Wanji did not say much on this matter; Wei Wuxian had been overly eloquent, however). Then, when they'd gotten caught, instead of Wei Wuxian telling the truth, he'd agreed that he and Lan Wanji liked each other.

And though Lan Wanji knew Wei Wuxian was lying, Wei Wuxian's comforting hand in his and his careful glances when the others were not looking made Lan Wanji realize why Wei Wuxian had lied. Wei Wuxian liked him.

(Wei Wuxian had been less certain of Lan Wanji's regard, but he'd assumed a good reason and that Lan Wanji definitely didn't hate him).

When they were alone again, Wei Wuxian had shakily said, "I didn't know you liked me."

And Lan Wanji realized that he could only hurt Wei Wuxian by telling the truth, so he only made an agreeable noise.

(Wei Wuxian had been prepared to apologize and explain before Lan Wanji made that noise, before he began to think and hope that Lan Wanji liked him).

So the charade had continued. Lan Wanji pretended to like Wei Wuxian to avoid both the arranged marriage and hurting Wei Wuxian. He'd still expected Uncle to put an end to everything. Uncle could be the one to hurt Wei Wuxian.

As the two weeks passed, however, he found himself liking Wei Wuxian and wanting to be closer to him. Then, when Uncle didn't react as he'd expected and the families started to discuss an official relationship between Wei Wuxian and Lan Wanji, he'd been happy.

But then he'd overheard Wei Wuxian tell his sister that the relationship wasn't supposed to get that far, that it had all been pretend.

(Wei Wuxian had been afraid and confiding in Jiang Yanli about how much he wanted and feared being married to Lan Wanji and how he'd never expected that. Lan Wanji had missed too much of the conversation).

Heartbroken, Lan Wanji had told his uncle the truth. (This is what Wei Wuxian had heard).

So now Lan Wanji can't marry or be with Wei Wuxian. He can't trap Wei Wuxian into a marriage he doesn't want. Only, when Uncle had announced that, Wei Wuxian had looked so hurt and resigned and Lan Wanji's heart hurt. He didn't know what to do and wanted to go home.

Huaisang threw his gaze up to the ceiling, beseeching the universe. He'd promised no more schemes in exchange for his brother's health and this is what the universe gave him? How was he supposed to not meddle in this? Wei Wuxian was his friend; he couldn't do nothing.

That's when he realized--intervening didn't have to mean scheming.

Huaisang took a deep breath, pushed off the wall, and walked into the room where Lan Wanji and Lan Xichen were speaking. He kept his fan closed at his side so that he would be less tempted to hide, both literally and metaphorically.

"I was eavesdropping," he said when Lan Xichen pasted on his placating smile and Lan Wanji turned away, trying too late hide his red eyes. "It is strange. Kissing someone you don't like, falling in love, and then realizing the other never meant it all along?" He tapped his folded fan to his chin. "That is the second time today I've heard that story. Wei Wuxian is very heartbroken."

Lan Wanji whirled around, his usually expressionless face naked with hope. "Wei Ying," he said, not quite asking a question, not quite trailing off.

Huaisang waited a beat, mourned all the far more elegant ways he could have arranged their reconciliation, and then said, "Loves and wants to marry you. He is very sad that you don't."

"I have to--" Lan Wanji looked at his brother and Lan Xichen nodded toward the door.

"Go."

"He's with his siblings in the garden," Huaisang said as Lan Wanji darted, almost running, to the door. "Be very direct!"

Lan Wanji glanced back, nodded once, and was gone.

"Thank you," Lan Xichen said in his quiet way. "If there's any way I can return this favor, please let me know."

That was when Huaisang realized that what the universe had granted him had not been a test, but an opportunity. "Actually," he said, his grip on his still-folded fan tightening, "I would like to talk with you about my brother."

The Lan had many healing techniques the Nie did not. Perhaps this was how he ensured his brother lived.

Modern au where lwj and Wwx meet in middle school, and wwx doesn't know how to deal with his crush (who totally isn't his crush haha right he's straight) constantly ignoring his pestering, so one day wwx just throws his nasty ass school lunch straight into lwj's face. and the room goes dead silent. Rice and green pepper slowly slide down lwj's stone cold face, revealing a glare so full of hate that it actually makes wwx take a step back. He can't believe he did that. What the fuck was he thinking oh my fucking god he just threw his lunch into the dean's nephew's FACE oh my god madame yu is gonna kill him--

The entire lunchroom watches, jaws dropping, as the prestigious, twin jade of Gusu middle school Lan Zhan takes his bunny-patterned water bottle full of warm, green tea, and pours it directly over wwx's head, making sure to shake the last few drops out onto his slightly greasy black locks.

There is a pregnant silence in the lunchroom, broken only by the sound of green tea dripping onto the floor. Wwx wipes the tea out of his eyes to sputter at lwj, his jaw almost on the floor. Lwj looks down his nose at him, and the corners of his lips turn up in a wicked smirk.

A voice, awfully similar to Nie huaisang's, yells out "FOOD FIGHT" and the lunchroom ERUPTS into chaos. Food is being flung all over the place, everyone is screaming, and right in the middle of it all is wwx and lwj, literally wrestling on the floor in a puddle of tomatoes and eggs and watermelon chunks, smashing whatever food they can grab off the tables into each other's hair, their faces, their clothes. At one point lwj bites him, literally BITES his forearm HARD, and wwx's resounding yelp is drowned out by the sheer cacophany of a room of middle schoolers with big metal trays and haphazardly fisted food as their weapons.

"WE SHOULD DO SOMETHING" jiang cheng yells to Nie Huaisang, the both of them hiding underneath the lunch tables. "ABSOLUTELY NOT, THIS IS THE BEST THING IVE SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE” Nie Huaisang yells back, absolutely cackling in pleasure.

Eventually lan Qiren and some other teachers come and finally get everything to quiet down. "WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS??!!" lqr yells, his face scarlet with rage. Every person in the room immediately points to wwx and lwj, who are still wrestling in the middle of the lunchroom floor, completely oblivious to the world around them. Lwj finally pins wwx down, straddling his hips with a lil bowl of shrimp in his hand, and is a Second away from dumping it straight into wwx's face when he finally looks up. "Uncle!" he jumps to his feet, back ramrod straight but he's so covered from head to toe in food that he's more reminiscent of a jackson pollack painting than the former pride of the school. Wwx jumps To his feet too. "Uh,,,good afternoon, laoshi?" Wwx chuckles nervously as lqr's face turns purple.

Wwx is suspended for a week. Lwj gets a weeks worth of detention and he is grounded for a month.

("Its bullshit!! Why were you suspended and he wasn't?! You both were guilty!!" Jc fumes a few days later. Wwx sighs. "Cause you can do that when the dean is your uncle, I guess". He replies.)

("This is stupid." Lwj tells his uncle. "If you're going to suspend him then you should suspend me too. I am just as guilty as he is."

He is grounded for another month for Backtalking.)

Lwj lies in his bed, his earbuds blasting. He thinks about how wwx looked underneath him, covered in filth and eyelashes flecked with sauce and tea, but with his silver eyes aflame with the challenge, and his big, loud mouth stretched into a snarl. Lwj thinks about kissing that snarl right off his face.

"Oh no." He thinks to himself.

Newest commission for @theleakypen! This one's dark =) enjoy!

[danmei-described]

[ID: A Mo Dao Zu Shi comic starring a younger Nie Huaisang and Nie Mingjue. At night, Huaisang approaches Mingjue's bed. He says, "Da-ge, there's a monster under my bed." Nie Mingjue rubs his eyes as he wakes and says, "W-what?"

Then they are shown walking together, Nie Mingjue shirtless and holding Baxia at the ready. Huaisang trails behind him, wearing a large sleep robe and holding a pillow.

The space under Huaisang's bed is shown. A round figure with large yellow eyes lurks beneath it. Mingjue kneels beside the bed to examine it. An owl flies out at him and he flinches away, yelling out, "What the fuck!"

The owl flies up to perch on top of a dresser. Huaisang points at it and says, "That monster looks like a bird, da-ge." Mingjue says, "I think it's just a normal owl, Huaisang."

The owl hoots angrily as Mingjue approaches to examine it. Behind him, Huaisang says, distressed, "Why is it so angry?" Mingjue frowns and says, "Looks like its injured..." He picks up the owl, which has a bloody spot on its wing, and tells Huaisang, "It's not gonna be able to fly far like this."

Nie Huaisang takes the owl and pets at it, looking at it with a sympathetic expression. He starts crying as he looks up at Nie Mingjue and says, "DA-GEee..." Mingjue watches him pensively. Huaisang continues, "We have to help it!" He and the owl look up at Nie Mingjue with matching pleading expressions, their eyes big and round. Mingjue pinches his nose bridge and sighs loudly. He says, "Okay, what does this thing eat?"

The final panel shows the brothers outside. It's still dark. The owl is now in a birdcage, Huaisang lovingly feeding it a mouse. In the background, Mingjue is using Baxia to dig around the dirt near a Bonsai tree. He calls, "How many more Huaisang?" and Huaisang replies, "Just a couple!" /end ID]

Nie Mingjue will regret this in the morning.
