An Adaptation Of A Scene From Vice And Crucible By Sherwoodfox -- One Of My Very Fav Jayvik Fics ToT

go read High Hawk Season RIGHT NOW please and give it some love, i love the characterization in it <3

how insane do you think wwx would go when he's traveling all around the cultivation trying not to think of lotus pier, only to hear that somehow sect leader jiang got knocked up??? (with, unbeknownst to wwx, his own golden core baby!!)

"!!! HOW? SHIDI EXPLAIN??"

"What the fuck, why didn't I think of that?" Think of what, Wei Wuxian?? Which part? COME BACK AND ANSWER ME.

"Jiang Cheng can't raise a child by himself." Jin Ling is right there. You've met him. He's clearly fine?

"Hahaha, someone knocked up Jiang Cheng."

[YLLZ boot-up noises.]

ok so your first problem was assuming mdzs is a story where Good People are Rewarded and Bad People are Punished.

your second problem was assuming that MXTX—who goes out of her way to showcase unresolved, tragic, undeserved endings in all of her works—would ever write a story with such a shallow notion of “deserving.”

the only reason wangxian makes it out unscathed is because they’re literally the protagonists. authorial intent and plot armor ensure their happy ending. that’s it.

“No, get off, I’m still angry at you”

“But it was just a joke~”

“Not to me”

what's the most insane thing you've seen either JC or WWX do for the other one in a fic that wasn't, in any way, chengxian?

reblog or put your answer in the tags please, I'm curious

I'll start: not-interested-in-sex-work JC starting to do irl sex work bc WWX wasn't paying his half of the rent and he didn't want to pressure WWX into keeping jobs WWX didn't want. never telling WWX about it either ofc.
