[Comfort in someone else, replacement]

ChengXanyu | Mo Dao Zu Shi Modern AU 21-07-2021

[Jiang Cheng x Mo Xuanyu, modern, angst] (someone save me, I don't know the ship name again) (implied past xiancheng and one-sided yaoyu)

What if growing up jc and wwx developed a relationship that they hide from everyone else? No one knew, but they were happy with each other. then wwx get himself in some trouble (as every modern AU does), but instead of disappearing or going to jail, wwx dies.

He dies the same day he and jc had an argument about his tie with the Wen, jc trying to tell him he can help him out if he would at least let him try.

They part on angry words and things neither of them wanted to say.

Jc is the first one to know when wn calls him to tell him wwx got shot. he runs to the location given to him by the young man, panicking, scared to lose him.

But it's too late when he gets to the small hospital, wwx is already dead & all jc can do after running past wq is grab wwx hands as if his own life depends on it, begging and crying for wwx to wake up, apologising for the hurtful thing he said hours ago.

he doesn't wake up After that there's a clear shift in jc's attitude, he might not have been a lively as wwx was, but it got to a point where even jfm is worried about him. They really do not understand how wwx death has affected him like this (but they didn't know how much he loved him either) years pass by as life forces him to move on even if he never really do, going to college without much motivation, mostly because he is forced by yzy.

Then one day he meets mxy.

for a split second, he was certain he had seen wwx, the young man looking really similar to him, he cannot stop himself from grabbing the youth's arm, clearly startling him. He mutters an apology when big startled eyes look back at him, ready to go to his apartment, not wanting to be seen as a creep or something like this.

Yet he is stopped by the young man who asks if he wants to grab coffee.

jc is a bit surprised by the suggestion, but he still accepts the offer, still perplexed by how similar the young man is to wwx, despite something being drastically different to him.

They sit for a while in awkward silence, before mxy finally asks who he had thought he was for him to have such a look in his eyes, as if unable to believe what he saw (and the huge disappointment when realisation settled in).

it's a bit weird for jc to talk about it, he hasn't really told anyone about how much he misses wwx (his parents got tired to hear it and jiejie seems to have gone through her morning) other than his therapist when he would have nightmare and guilt for what happened.

he tells him about wwx, but keeps out most of the detail, simply saying he was someone really important to him but who died a couple of years ago.

They chat a bit more, jc surprisingly at ease after a while (maybe mxy looking like wwx helps).

They decide to meet again, and their relationship escalates quickly, to the point where one night when they are both drunk they decide to sleep together.

jc feels a bit guilty for imagining wwx in mxy stead, yet he feels like the "gege" being called by mxy isn't him. They start dating soon afterwards.

Without ever telling each other, they both know they are only a replacement for the other. They hear the name being called that isn't there's, things the others do for them but that doesn't fit their taste but someone else.

They both know this isn't a healthy relationship, but they both need someone right now and they doubt anyone else would accept so easily to be someone else replacement.

They can't get over a love they shouldn't have or cannot have anymore.

They are not going forwards, but at least they are not alone in stalling like this.

The sexual tension I got between my emotional-support, hypothetical 2x4 and me is crazy high rn

Anytime my body or brain goes awry I just imagine bashing my own head in or limb in with it. Oddly soothing.

And rn feels like a great time to swing by lowes or smth and take care of my shit on my own

#my fiance would never let me sadly. but is now a running joke when im fucked up bad lol #medical #self harm #self destructive #bad coping #actually disabled #cripple punk #ben shapiro

Dc x Dp Prompt #6

“I’m a twin”, Damian said one night. He could feel the narrowed eyes of his family drilling holes on his back in disbelief. Not that he could blame them. Damian had never so much as implied being raised with a companion, much less a sibling.

“I had a brother”. Damian paused to recollect himself. He had not said his brother’s name out loud in over 8 years.

“His name was… Danyal”. Damian hated the way his voice wavered, but he could not help it. Danyal was everything to him, his other half. Their heart beat as one and when one heart stopped beating, the other one died with it. At least until his family put his heart on metaphorical life support without ever realizing.

“Where is he now?” His father asked, voice filled with knowing grief and a hint of betrayal. It had in fact been 6 years since Damian first showed up on his doorstep.

“Up there”. All eyes shifted towards the specific star he was pointing to. “Right before he died, he promised me he’d guide me from the stars. Unfortunately, the stars are not visible in Gotham, so my brother is unable to be of much help unless I leave the city.”

“Your brother is Polaris, the North Star?” Tim questioned warily, most likely in attempts to not offend him. Damian was aware of how stupid it sounded, but Danyal had promised, and his brother never broke his promises.

“Yes. Danyal is with the stars now, just as he always wanted”

Danny was once known as the god Dan-El in one of his previous lives #he’s ALSO the reincarnation of the Greek Titan Astraeus (and he’s pretty sure Dani is his daughter Astraea)#his previous lives are all so interesting (he still can’t believe he was raised an assassin or that he was a god in multiple lives)#but in all honesty it’s even weirder feeling so old and so young at the same time

My favorite hc for Tim is that his stress relief is fucking over other villains. He makes his bad days their problem.

Are the city officials being needlessly tedious in Neon Knights programs? Luthor suddenly has IRS knocking on his door for improper tax filing.

Did one of his siblings postpone plans? Deathstroke starts to have difficulty finding contracts.

Does he get an injury that prevents him from patrolling for a few weeks? Ra's doesn't need so many Lazarus Pits.

He's petty and takes his anger out on villains without warning. Could he do any of these actions before he gets annoyed with life? Yes. Does he purposefully wait until he wants to snap? Also yes.

I'm a big fan of hurt/comfort tropes where the hurt is ongoing and escalating. Characters trying to cope with their situation and insisting that it's fine, they're fine, even as things get worse and worse and worse - especially if no one around them knows what they're going through.

Characters hiding their illness, even as they grow sicker and sicker. Characters trying to cope as their homelife becomes increasingly abusive or neglectful. Characters ignoring their injuries, only for them to become infected. Characters being stalked/ tormented by a villain and pretending that everything is fine, even as the villain continues escalating. Characters left homeless as winter approaches and their money dwindles.

I could go on. There's something very satisfying about seeing a character frantically trying to pretend like everything is okay until eventually they can't hide it anymore and get caught (and helped) by the people around them.

#and seeing characters attempting to self-soothe and all their maladaptive ways of coping on their own #that's the good shit #tropes #whump #hurt/comfort #or even if other characters are somewhat aware- but our main character has been massively underplaying the situation #and convincing everyone it's not as bad as it seems (even though it's actually Much Much Worse)#my posts
