Xichenclipse 2021 Day 5

Marriage

Jiang Cheng tries not to think too much on his way to the Cloud Recesses, but he can’t deny that a ball of dread is forming in his stomach.

He knows why Lan Qiren is asking him to come personally, after everything that happened in the temple and Jiang Cheng is not looking forward to it. It wasn’t even Lan Xichen who sent him the letter and that alone says enough, in Jiang Cheng’s opinion.

Jiang Cheng hates how long it takes him to fly to the Cloud Recesses, despite going as fast as he dares to, because it leaves him too much time to think.

To re-think the promise he and Lan Xichen made all those years ago.

He knows that it’s neither his nor Lan Xichen’s fault that they are still not married, even though they have been betrothed for thirteen years but he can’t deny that over the last few months doubt started to creep in.

And now that he thought about it once, it makes sense.

It’s not like Jiang Cheng even believes that Lan Xichen wants out of this betrothal—he wouldn’t do that once he agreed to it in the first place, and Jiang Cheng does believe that Lan Xichen is at least fond of him—but maybe they are just not meant to be.

Maybe they should both look for other people already and put an end to whatever they have.

It would be easier, because Jiang Cheng cannot write or receive another message saying that the wedding is called off for now again.

Today will be the last time this happens, Jiang Cheng promises himself.

Jiang Cheng enters the Cloud Recesses with his jade token—which he intends to give back at the end of this talk—and he makes his way over to Lan Qiren’s quarters immediately.

He’s pretty sure he is being called here because after what happened with Jin Guangyao Lan Xichen is going to enter seclusion and Lan Qiren has the dubious honour of telling him that their marriage is yet again being delayed.

And Jiang Cheng can’t take it anymore.

He wants to be Lan Xichen’s husband more than anything—wants to be called husband in return—but only if Lan Xichen wants the same. And Jiang Cheng isn’t sure anymore if that is still the case.

Reasons Cale Henituse is the funniest motherfucker:

*People cheering for him in the streets* Hm. Don’t like that.

His self-proclaimed speciality is just disassociating on command

Someone: *helps him* Cale: *sighs* I guess I have to solve every problem you’ve ever had

When learning a language, memorised all the swear words before anything else

“I don’t like cats,” says Cale, holding two kittens tenderly, plotting a rebellion to instate a third cat as the new emperor

Single father of *checks notes* uh… 3 to 14 children,

All he wants is to retire to the country; can’t stop getting into international incidents

His relationship with the crown prince is basically: *points at each other* Bastard

Keeps telling people not to trust him while saving their asses from certain destruction

This loser thinks he’s ‘quiet’ and ‘good at keeping still’

Cale: *smiles gently* Everyone: oh god stop What the Fuck

‘Accidental Baby Acquisition’ trope but it’s ‘Accidental Family Acquisition’ and they’re all agents of chaos

“I heard you got hurt,” says a concerned child. “Yes, I coughed up blood.” Cale comforts, comfortingly.

[Girl hits on him] No thanks [Guy hits on him] No thanks

Everyone: you’re a good person Cale: incomprehensible, have a terrible day

Named his adopted son, a dragon, ‘Dragon’

Tells people to drink tea before pulling out something that will make them spray it everywhere like a cartoon

*to a 13 year old* No you can’t train to become a knight you’re too young *to a 5 year old* Alright tonight we’re gonna blow up an island and participate in the slaughter of half a race make sure to protect me well

His entire fucking backstory, like what? What???

Raon: I’ve only had this human for an hour and a half but if anything happened to him I would kill everyone on this continent and then myself Cale: That’s terrifying please stop talking

Never thinks, at any point, to tell anyone that he has a healing power 

He’s THE most extra bitch. Orchestrates his b&e’s like he’s conducting an opera, always plans for maximum Dramatic Effect

*The crown prince doesn’t help in a terror incident* That’s fine because he’s weak. *Finds out he’s strong actually* Bastard??????

Gives his kids an extravagant allowance. Doesn’t let them spend it and buys everything for them instead

‘I should have just got beaten up’, Cale thinks, war waging around him. ‘That would be far less annoying.’

do you think l and light tell each other “i love you?”

Only when they mean it.
