T, 11k, wangxian
Summary: Trying to play nice during the banquet after the Phoenix Mountain hunt, Lan Wangji drinks the cup of wine Jin Zixun offers him and drunkenly demonstrates his love for Wei Wuxian in front of the entire cultivation world.
My comments: In which lwj gets a little soused, loses all his inhibitions, and gets exactly what he wants. The other chapters are from the viewpoints of wwx, jc and lqr.
Excerpt: “It did not miss my attention that there was some kind of secret Lan sect ribbon nonsense happening as well,” Jiang Cheng continued. “Or that my brother has been in your brother’s rooms all night. Poor Jiejie wept herself to sleep thinking of what abuses your brother might be laying on our poor, defenseless Xianxian.”
“Actually, I slept fine,” Jiejie said.
Zewu-jun’s fake smile slipped into a real one. Cute, Jiang Cheng tried really hard not to think.
“Defenseless?” he asked. “Wei-gongzi? On the contrary, I think that if any two people have ever been evenly matched it is Wei-gongzi and my brother, who was, I might remind you, falling down drunk last night; hardly in a position to take advantage of a cultivator who netted over a third of the prey in yesterday’s hunt single-handedly.”
canon-divergence, love confessions, first kiss, mildly dubious consent, drunk lan zhan, phoenic mountain, the wens are fine, public display of affection, soft wangxian, fluff and crack, pov alternating, @deliciousblizzardshark

I’m actually LOVING how Rick Riordan, and the other writers of the show, took his initial concept of a Percabeth rivalry fueled by that of their parents and kind of turned it on its head?
Now, instead of Annabeth being wary of Percy because he’s a son of Poseidon, he’s wary of her because she made a callous impression on him. They get off to a rocky start even before finding out who Percy’s father is, and when they finally do, Annabeth doesn’t care. Instead of them fighting because of who their parents are, they’re fighting over their own opposed worldviews.
Then, instead of them arguing over which of the gods is cooler and who was right in the story of Medusa, they realize that, just like Medusa, Annabeth is a victim of her mother and that, unlike Medusa, she is a far kinder and stronger person, unwilling to repeat the cycle of hurt. They realize that, like his father, Percy often acts without considering potential consequences and that, unlike his father, he is a far kinder and stronger person, willing to step up for someone he wronged and whom he cares about.
Instead of Percy and Annabeth’s rivalry being focused on that of their parents, it’s focused on who they are, themselves. But the path to friendship is still the same: a realization that they have each other’s backs, no matter what, because they’re not their parents after all.

U get used to the straight men actors in gay roles kissing so hard n hungry their noses are in danger so ur like yeah that's just how straight men kiss other men I guess and then u see straight actors in gay roles kissing like grandparents at church who stopped loving each other years ago and no longer know how to feel passion and ur like ok what gives. How did u get that role. Do u know how many straight actors would kill to be gay for pay on that camera? I'm calling Gael García Bernal.

Katniss in the first book is so funny because beyond her being absolutely wrong in nearly every assumption she has of Peeta. Every other chapter she’s like “two can play that game” about him being deceptive and then she utterly fails at it.
