#lwj doesn't know the whip is for hitting not for hugging

[limitbreaker23]

Jiang Cheng and Lan Wangji seem to have grabbed the wrong weapons. Can you help them solve this predicament before Jiang Cheng hits someone over the head with the guqin?

Cute commission of my confused boys I asked matchasakura2 to draw, thank you! <3

I am obsessed with how much obsessed wwx is with both lwj and jc, but while even at his lowest (sunshot campaign) wwx thinks still good things about lwj (ohhh, he wants to imprison me! Ohhhh, what a noble and rightful man is lwj!), wwx thinks the worst of jc, in every given situation (shidi is killing people he thinks are me!!!! shidi can't get over shijie death, loser!!!! shidi is hitting and whipping every day shijie's son!!! Lotus pier is shit now, under jc's leadership). It's fascinating. I want to slap him and then hug him and ask him what's wrong with him

LWJ: Don't talk about him.

WWX: Okay.

WWX: Okay but what you need to understand about Jiang Cheng is--

Honestly, I don't think you can truly love Wei Wuxian and hate Jiang Cheng, or vice versa. They formed each other too much. They're each perfectly suited to nestle in each other's negative space.

But yeah, Wei Wuxian resents Jiang Cheng for leaving first. How could you leave me behind to get your parents' bodies? Don't you know it was their dying wish that I keep you safe? Why would you make me see that I could never have protected you forever, when that's all I'm here for?

He doesn't want to look at Jiang Cheng and remember.

As long as he can convince himself that shidi hates him, that Lotus Pier is awful now, that Jiang Cheng could never forgive him, then being away is fine. After all, Jiang Cheng has already shown where his priorities lie when he chose to die for filial piety instead of living with Wei Wuxian. What else can he believe but that Jiang Cheng will hold onto his grudge against Wei Wuxian no matter what?

But who doesn't want to return to Lotus Pier, even if only in their dreams?
