#jingyi will be sobbing at my funeral and booking a ship to yunmeng to check out whirlpools the next day because he 'thought they were cool'

stilton my heart is hurting! Do nielan ever get together in the dwarf nmj/elf lxc au? T.T

Yes, and Lan Xichen doesn't die of grief after Nie Mingjue passes away. The conversation where LXC found out about NMJ's feelings went something like this:

Lan Xichen: You...you've been in love with me since we met, and you haven't said anything? We've lost so much time...

Nie Mingjue: Yes. But I know elves can die of grief, and I couldn't bear to be the cause of your death.

Lan Xichen: That's why you didn't tell me??

Nie Mingjue: Can you blame me for valuing your life over the chance to be married to you?

Lan Xichen: Absolutely. If you'd bothered to ask, you'd know that I simply cannot afford to die because my half-human adopted son doesn't have the brains the heavens gave geese. Last year, Jingyi went running off to fight sea-serpents with the Jiangs every time I took my eyes off him. This year, Shufu has him under 24/7 surveillance because he tried to go foraging hobbit-style and made soup out of poisonous mushrooms. I love you dearly, A-Jue, but my child is an idiot and can't survive in the wild without me. You have nothing to be afraid of.

Nie Mingjue:
