#Princeji AU

[sweetlittlevampire]

I might have girlbossed a bit too close to the sun with this one in terms of kitsch...but I still love it!

Wanna colour the lineart that goes with this? Look below! ⬇��

The only thing I ask for is that you tag/message me so I can see your creations and give them some love. Also please do not remove my username/watermark. I have a transparent version of this lineart too, so if you want that? Hit me up!

WIP Wednesday: Arranged Marriage Wingfic Preview II

<- PREV

"Father."

He waited for a response that didn't come. Eventually, Lan Wangji decided he'd shown respect enough, and sat back into a kneel once more. When he looked up, he could see the figure behind the curtain had moved so they were now facing him.

He swallowed, a question he feared to ask caught in his throat, and instead said, "Father, I am to be married."

More silence followed, broken only by the rustling of fabric from across the room.

Lan Wangji wet his lips, and continued. "The emperor arranged it. It-" He breathed out, chastising himself for feeling so out of control. "-it is a good match."

The quiet stretched on - and then, from behind the curtain there was a huff.

"Come close then, child," a voice that sounded unused to speaking requested. "Let me see you one last time."

Heart thudding, Lan Wangji shuffled to the bedside, his hand reaching up to part the curtain that separated him from his sire. To his chagrin, he noted his fingers trembled as they swept the fabric aside.

Cun by cun, his father's form was revealed to him, brittle in the way those who battled illness tended to be. Looking into the former emperor's eyes - into the tired lines of his face - it was hard to believe that this man was once a respected ruler. Nestled upon sheets of imperial silk, he seemed so defeated; so weak.

A skeletal hand came out from within the folds of the man's robes, to hover over Lan Wangji's cheek, as if afraid to come closer. Holding his breath, the doe leant forward, bridging the gap between them.

Flesh met with flesh, and a breath gusted out of Taishang Huang[1], as if the air had caught in his throat, too, at the sight of his son - grown now, and ready to be sent off into another man's home.

"You look so much like her," he murmured, stroking a line under Lan Wangji's eye with hands worn soft by years of inactivity.

"Mother?" Lan Wangji dared to ask.

His father nodded, a wistful twinkle in his eye.

"I should never have married her." He patted Lan Wangji's face and smiled sadly, as if he hadn't just unloaded the most damning revelation upon his son. "She would have been happier elsewhere."

You, too, he did not say, though Lan Wangji sensed it lurking behind his teeth.

"I hope your marriage suits you well," his father finished; again, holding back his full meaning - the way his own had not.

Canon vs fanon Sanji discourse is always funny to me because… girlie which fanon Sanji are you talking about? There’s so many! You’ve got:

Bisexualji: Basically canon Sanji except he’s bi. His women loving antics can range from no different from canon to a bit toned down. Usually low-key about his sexuality but otherwise normal about it.

Internalised homophobiaji: What the name says. Feelings have to get punched out of him (usually by Zoro). Can be annoying to read/write but the when done well it’s chef’s kiss (pun intended)

Slutji: Most featured in E-rated fics. The fact that he sleeps around (mostly with men) is sometimes used to make someone jealous (mostly Zoro). OOC but when it’s one of those every man on the Grand Line dicks down Sanji fics… it doesn’t really matter does it.

Frenchji: When Sanji is essentially turned into APH France - refined, high-class, has impeccable fashion and uses expensive cologne, wears a deep V blouse, long wavy hair is always preferred. Mostly seen in 40!Sanji fics.

Twinkji: The most common target of these “fanon Sanji ew” complaints but unless you’re on Wattpad he’s actually a rare occurrence? Identifiers are an exaggerated height difference with Zoro, skinny, completely gay, 2000s yaoi level of bottom. I have to say I’ve maybe come across this 1% of the time.

Whumpji: He’s traumatised, he’s depressed and anxious, he thinks no one loves him, he thinks he deserves to suffer. Vinsmokes are 11/10 the time involved. Luffy is sunshine incarnate in these.

Princeji: When he’s either in a royalty AU or never escaped Germa. Usually acts more “pure” than his canon version because Zeff didn’t raise him to be sassy and chivalrous. Maintains the 5-9 year old Sanji personality. Very cute. Even cuter when combined with rogue/knight Zoro.

Tsunji: This is just canon Sanji. The louder he screams at you the more he loves you. His love language is beating you up then leaving a plate of food next to your work station. Objectively the best Sanji.

You know how there are seven thousand Generalxian/Princeji or Generalji/Princexian AU fics? I think that Zhuiyi

AU Master Post!

I realized I have LOTs of little AU's floating around on this blog. SO I thought it was a good idea to collect all the ones I find and make a master post!

Half for you guys and half for me. Because sometimes I come across them again and go OH YEAH and start adding to them again! :D I've organized these as best I can for now. Some of the tags are just for general AU's without any specific story. Those AU's I'll leave with just the tag and link. Some may only have 1 post in the tag at the moment. Others will have more story or detail to them. I'll make sure to include a summary of what to expect on this post as well for those cases.

SO! Check out the AU list under the cut! Let me know if anything seems broken or if there's an AU I missed!

Mermaid AUs:

#Mermaid AU This is a catch all for any post relating to mermaids or undersea creatures. (You can also look for the tag #not sssf related to find the mermaid AU stuff that is not related to that LARGE AU)

#Sun Stone and Seafoam This is my largest AU on this blog. It is an ongoing story about the love between Wei Wuxian and the merman he found one day. You can also find these under the #Merji tag.

A loose Little Mermaid AU. Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji fall in love only to be separated for 3 years due to fate and a wicked curse. The cost of magic is indeed high, but if it grants him his own legs, is it worth it? This story has its own masterpost as well

#Eelxian This is a smaller mermaid AU featuring Dragon Lan Wanji and Eel Merman Wei Wuxian.

#Pirate AU #Diver AU #Angel AU

Creature AUs:

#Foxji AU Lan Wangji is a white fox who tries desperately to fight his mischievous nature. One day he meets a crafty dragon who is determined to bring out Lan Zhan's playful spirit. As time goes by, Wei Wuxian is cast away from the noble dragons, his horns shattered in disgrace before he sadly loses his life. Time passes and one day a strangely familiar crow appears in Lan Wangji's life. Could it be?

#Bunxian AU Wei Wuxian is turned into a rabbit by a stray curse while a teenager in the Cloud Recesses.

#Ghost Au #Potatoji AU #Muppet AU #Animal AU

Modern AUs:

#Modern AU This is a catch-all tag for all modern au's.

#Skater AU Comes with a fic! (complete) Also known as the Honey Buns AU. I wrote this with my fiancee. This is a modern AU that is 80% fluff with a crime drama going on in the background. But since it's told from the protagonists perspective, it doesn't really come to light until the end.

#Flight Attendant AU Also seen under the Travel AU tag. Lan Wangji has to unwillingly go on a business trip and he hates it. That is until a rather attractive flight attendant catches his eye! Too bad they'll never meet each other again... or will they?

#East Side AU It's a fic! (incomplete) Finally cracking under the pressure of being perfect, Lan Zhan decides to run away from home. He takes the bus to the end of the line, not knowing where he's going to go next. He wanders to the river where he finds a homeless boy, an orphan like him, who changes his life. After convincing him to go back home, the two stay in touch and together they change each other's lives.

#Ice Skater AU #Ballet AU #Vacation AU

Fantasy AUs:

#SoE It's a fic! (incomplete) After years of hiding and running after the war Wei Wuxian, the Demon of Yiling, is finally found and captured. Sentenced to death, he is saved at the last moment by claim on his hand. In order to repay a life debt, Lan Wangji offers to marry Wei Wuxian in exchange for his life. Knowing that Lan Wangji does not love him, Wei Wuxian accepts the offer.

#Princeji AU #Sleeping Beauty AU #Howl AU #Witch AU

Canon Adjacent AUs

#Drowning AU Lan Wangji does not notice in time to avoid Wei Wuxian tipping his boat, and ends up falling into the depths of Biling Lake

#Feelings AU This is a catch-all tag for any AU where Wei Wuxian realizes either Lan Wangji's or his own feelings earlier than in the original story

#Adoption AU #Time Travel AU #Da Ge Lives AU #New Baby AU #Killer JC AU #Tinyji AU #Childhood Friends AU

Happy Birthday, Hanguang Jun!

POV: You're the esteemed Prince of your kingdom, just trying to enjoy your morning read when your most trusted General interrupts you to bring you a...flower.

(You are far less annoyed than your subjects might imagine.)

This is also my first completed piece for 2023. ♥

[sweetlittlevampire]

Prince Lan Wangji and his devoted General Wei Wuxian are dominating my thoughts again, and I just like the thought of them being in love, and Princeji fastening his forehead ribbon around Generalxian's arm so he can wear it under his vambrace while he's on the battlefield and keep it safe until he returns back to his prince, safe and sound.

Whether the Prince wears a substitute forehead ribbon or his forehead proudly bare, is up to you.

*Please see the bottom of this post for an important notice.*

This fic list was originally created for my benefit, but I've posted enough fics on tumblr (and elsewhere) that it might help others too. Some fics are in the process of being edited before posting. There are a lot.

----

Tumblr fics (mostly 1000-3000 words in length):

Wangxian:

In all of my Wangxian fics, WWX and LWJ are either single or Only For Each Other™️. I know some people prefer to see them have a dating history, while others prefer to stick closer to canon. I personally prefer the canon interpretation. I mention this only because I'm sick of writing 'Wangxian only' next to any fic where another pairing seems possible.

Related to this, I will always warn for sexual violence. If there's no warning, it didn't happen. 🤷

Where relevant, I've marked whether a fic has Bottomxian/Bottomji. Because of tumblr's rules this is mostly only implied, however. There are more Bottomji fics than Bottomxian, but many also leave their dynamics unmentioned completely.

Princeji has taken an... interest.. in the young new gardener.

[bi-the-wei]

@gentil-minou - i did this for you.

Sorry i dont have better colors at work haha

[bi-the-wei]

So do you ever just start drawing without any real plan? Where you just let the drawing create itself as you go?

And in the end you're not really sure how or why you ended up with your final creation?

Voilà.

I feel like this is just a continuation of the princeji\wei wu-gardener au that i drew once.

Wwx thought itd be funny to have a sumptuous painting commissioned just to fuck with the rest of the royal family.

Lan Wangji loves it unironically.

I feel it has to be called something like "decadance" or something.

[peculiardollart]

NOOO DONT REBLOG THIS ONE REBLOG THE OTHER ONE https://www.tumblr.com/peculiardollart/715529831146749952/you-know-how-there-are-seven-thousand

… His Jingyi.

(Nobody knows for sure and at this point they’re all afraid to ask.)

[bi-the-wei]

I will forever love the trend of taking any descriptor and adding a ji at it to make an instant lan wangji au.

Dragonji. Teenji. Princeji. Vinegarji. Shortji. Potatoji.

So much information in. A single word.
