yes, i am evil 😭😭😭 it broke my heart as well 💔

says, "i do, wwx, i do" and wwx kisses the crown of his head.

/// for a deeper heartbreak imagine it set after lotus pier falls, right before wwx gives jc his own core...

people shouldn't say things like that, that their future is nebulous and uncertain, that one day one of them could wake up and be /alone/...)

but jiang cheng is pinned beneath him, hands resting at wwx's hips, and wwx whispers, "trust me, please. trust me" and jc falls back against the pillows and

water, or sweet, lilting strains to accompany the stars crashing from their dark heavens.

safe, jc says, pressing his face into the side of wwx's neck, i feel safe with you.

you are, wwx promises, tightening his arms around jc. you are, i swear it--

( fear grips him then. fear tells him that

www? for how long? - as he sinks into jc's body, filling all the empty spaces between them, moving breathtakingly slow, hips rocking, sighs mingling.

afterwards, wwx would only be able to think of it in terms of sound and light - winds blowing through the reeds, or the iridescence of sunlight on

#chengxian ( a moment out of time)

you have me, wwx tells jc, touching his fingers to jc's lips, wrapping his hands around his shoulders, pulling him closer and closer and closer, feeling him hard and hot against his own thigh. wwx catches glimpses of jc's wistful response - but for how long,

Why flirt? We can skip all that and go straight to the part where I promise to drive you crazy for the rest of our shared lives and you promise the same.

this is so jiang yanli. ever the peacekeeper, the mediator. the girl who almost got her happy ending... almost got it...

oh, yes. happily ever after and everybody is alive and kicking

that's chengxian in one word actually... ouch 😭

*waves hello* 🤗🤗🤗 it's that season of the year, you know

"i love you"

"still?"

"still. always. i'd wait lifetimes for you. you would always be worth it"

( "it's in the past," he says. "goodbye,"he says and looks down and turns away to hide his lie...

... to hide all the love dripping from his eyes as he speaks.)

now jc is in a festive mood all year around

and it's a gift yllz is not opposed to receiving for every occasion. harvest festival? give yllz his virgin. a well cooked meal? a double celebration is in order.

jc: i think we are running out of occasions to celebrate

wwx: hey, look, a cloud in a shape of a d*ck! a worthy occasion, i believe 🤗

and it's good for your health 😁 lp healers assured him of numerous benefits

....this says more about the fandom population size than anything 😂

jc laughs and wraps his legs tight around wwx's waist.

(jc to his sic before leaving lp: you are in charge here. i expect to be gone for a month or so

sic: 🤨

jc: what?! you did tell me i need to /loosen up/ as i am being /to tight/

sic:....)

awkwardly, looking anywhere but at wwx.

oh ... oh, wwx suddenly *gets* it, snaps his fingers. a second later jc is spread out so lovely underneath him. wwx smiles as he stares into jc's eyes. "you do know the evil overlord gets to keep the virgin in his bed for a long *long* time"

smile on jc's face as jc carefully opens the box and examines the contents.

"thank you," jc says. pauses. "so..." he rubs the back of his neck, looking embarrassed for some reason. "you know how it's customary to give.. hmm... to give virgins to evil overlords as a ...hmm... gift," he shrugs

it doesn't make yllz love his sect leader any less, he actually finds it kind of cute and he is still suitably excited for their annual gift exchange.

"gift time," wwx says as he hands over a box full of books on some obscure cultivation techniques and healing methods. he registers a pleased

#chengxian with yllz wwx and sect leader jiang where jc is a terrible gift giver. he always picks the least exciting thing wwx needs. it's like getting presents from his grandmother --socks ("this cave of yours is so damn cold") and fluffy carpets, of all things.

when jin ling is slacking in his studies his mom doesn't take away his electronics, doesn't lecture him about importance of education. nope. she simply cuts off his jiujiu access and *voilà* a-ling is a straight A student just like that .

Merry Everything and Happy Always to you. I hope you spend these days safe, cosy and healthy. Don’t mind the presents! You’re already the best one 🤍✨

wwx: and that's my cue to leave

lxc, opening the box: so, show me... the size...

jc: 😳😳😳

wwx, looking shifty and ready to make a run for it: so, yeah, he practically made me do it!!!

jc, from inside the box: 💀💀💀

wwx: you did! you said lxc is NICE

lxc: the size of my present tells me i must have been very--

jc: LET ME OUT AND I'LL SHOW BOTH OF YOU THE SIZE OF MY FIST

#xicheng

wwx: hey, jc, come and try this wine i bought. it's delicious

jc: yes, it is. pour me another one

several hours later at lan residence

lxc: oh, my, i wasn't expecting a present. look at the size of that box. wait, why are there sounds coming from inside of it?!

imagine baby jin ling staying awake the night before christmas just so he can be the first one to run to jiujiu's room and say "jiujiu, your christmas present is here" and then climb into jiang cheng's bed, all soft and warm and already half asleep...

jc: 🥹🥹🥹
