Can I just scream about these two for a minute??

Lan Sizhui and Lan Jingyi are so capable, so strong, so fluid and in harmony together as cultivators. Even Wei Wuxian himself is impressed by how skilled they are at such a young age.

And really, who would expect any less from Lan Clan disciples who’ve learned from the Twin Jades of Lan? But these two go so far beyond that. They are, in every sense of the phrase, core disciples. Trusted enough to handle situations like Mo Manor on their own, skilled enough to subdue something as resentful as the arm—something they’ve probably never come across in their short years of training, and determined enough to not give up even when the situation becomes dire and seems impossible.

You can give most of the credit to their seniors if you want but their level of cultivation wouldn’t be this high if they themselves didn’t put in the work, dedication and self-discipline to supersede all expectations and harness their full potential.

My boys deserve some goddamn respect on their names and that’s final. ⚔️

Hello! I love ur writing it's SO GOOD! :D in ur renouncement marraige au verse, since wwx normally straightens his hair with hot oil, that means most people generally don't see it curly, right? It might be cool to see wwx/people's reactions to it in its natural state without any product, 'untamed' if you will ;) due to whatever reason/extenuating circumstance

Wei Wuxian was ten years old when he began straightening his hair to match his Uncle Jiang’s and Jiang Cheng’s. It made sense at the time, since brushing his hair with hot lotus-seed oil or making it lie flat with talismans before he went to bed took a full quarter-hour off the time it took for him to get ready in the mornings, and he maintained the little tradition through his childhood and even into his time living in the Burial Mounds, since A-Yuan liked to yank on his hair whenever he left it wavy.

Now, however, Wei Wuxian is a new father (for the third time!) and counts himself lucky if he gets to brush his hair at all, which is why the reflection staring back at him from the mirror has long, loose waves of hair curling down from his forehead instead of the straight hair-style he usually wears.

“Should I bother?” he murmurs, looking down at the snoozing bundle in his arms and kissing her tiny forehead. “A-Lan doesn’t mind, do you?”

A-Lan opens her eyes and blinks at him, and Wei Wuxian nuzzles her soft pink cheeks in delight as she starts squirming in her silk wrap. “A-Lan, xiao-hua,” he hums, carrying her back into the bedroom where Lan Zhan is conducting an impromptu poetry lesson with A-Yuan and Xiao-Yu. “What should we do today, ah? Should we sit and listen to your xiongzhang read, sweetheart?”

“Xiao-Yu can’t read yet,” the little boy pipes up, nestling into Wei Wuxian’s soft robes as he sinks down onto a cushion beside his husband. “But I can write A-Lan’s name! A-Die taught me!”

“Come sit in my lap,” Sizhui urges, coming around to Wei Wuxian’s side of the table. “Here, take the brush--that’s right--and hold it just so, like A-Die is doing. Now, can you write Lan Yu?”

Xiao-Yu wraps his chubby little fist around the brush-handle and manages to write a very passable yǔ, though the lán is barely recognizable. “A-Yu did it!” he crows, wriggling with joy as A-Yuan gives him a proud squeeze around his middle. “I write A-Lan’s name, Yuan-gege?”

A-Yuan nods, and Xiao-Yu scribbles out a single ah and then the lán for orchid. “They sound the same, but they’re not the same word,” A-Yuan tells him, pulling a damp cloth out of his pocket and wiping Xiao-Yu’s inky fingers. “Which one is which? Can A-Yu tell us?”

“Xiao-Yu’s Lan is lan se, and lan tian, and A-Lan is hua lan!”

“Our lán is also a flower,” Lan Zhan says, with a soft, huffing laugh that sends Wei Wuxian’s heart into a tailspin. “We use it to dye our clothes, Xiaohui.”

A-Yu stares out of the window at the clear blue sky and then down at his inky sleeves.

“How?”

“Oh, he’s too precious!” Sizhui cries, burying his face in his hands. “Xiao-Yu!”

Wei Wuxian feels his lips tremble, and when he glances back up at his husband, he finds Lan Zhan’s eyes already turned towards him.

Wei Ying, my love, Lan Zhan vowed once, not long after that fateful night in Nie Huaisang’s best guest chamber. Sweetheart, I will never look away from you again.

“What is it, zhang-fu?” Wei Wuxian teases, when he finally finds his voice again; because he still loves to make Lan Zhan blush, even after a year and four months of marriage. “What are you looking at, Lan Zhan?”

“Your hair,” Lan Zhan murmurs, gazing fondly at the loose curls tumbling down his shoulders. “Beautiful.”

I don’t know what to do when you say things like that! Wei Wuxian wails to himself, hiding his burning cheeks in A-Lan’s blanket. Aiyah, Lan Zhan--enough is enough! Have mercy on your poor husband!

Okay but I’m in a ‘Sizhui is baby and no one can compare to how baby he is’ mood and I want two things:

—-The unseen scene from traveling from Yiling to Lotus pier. I have theories about this (or, at least, I know what I want to have happened) and it’s beautiful: WangXian ends up traveling to Lotus Pier with LJY and LSZ and WN, this is the most logical explanation for how they traveled (unless LJY ended up with the rest of the Lans, but as LWJ’s son, I don’t think they could do anything to convince LSZ not to stay with LWJ when he’s about to feel seasickness for the next however many hours it’s gonna take to get to Lotus Pier, but LJY is the only one I’ll concede might not have traveled with them, the only way I would say LSZ too is if they have a healer he goes to when he feels sick, but they only seemed to travel with Cultivators rn so I’m guessing he would have stayed with Baba) but then, when they got to Lotus Pier, LSZ acted like he didn’t just have several hours to talk to WN about his life in the Burial Mounds. TBH that would actually have been the best time for LSZ to come to WWX and say he’s A-Yuan, when WWX feels like shit and could use a pick me up and just got confronted by the whole Cultivation world

As an aside here, let’s talk about how out of everyone in this conference, the only people shunned from walking about like nothing’s wrong are Sizhui, Wen Ning, Wei Wuxian, and Lan Wangji. Can we talk about how fam all got excluded together? And the fact is, Sizhui didn’t have to choose that exclusion, but he decided that learning about his own family is, right now, more important than blindly following the pack to keep his status within the sect that raised him. He’s kind. He wants to talk to his uncle who is also kind. He wants to bond with him.

So. Why didn’t he spend the boat ride talking to Uncle Ning? Is it because he wasn’t ready to confront WWX who’s Right There yet? No. It’s because baby boy was fucking sick as hell. Sea sickness, as we’ve seen, gives him IMMEDAITE anxiety upon even standing on the pier to the boats. LJY comes up to him and says it’s okay, they can wait a few minutes before they get on a boat. He’s got anxiety. He Knows he’s gonna spend the next few hours sitting feeling sick as hell and absolutely miserable.

Now, what’s different about having WWX and WN with him, instead of just having LWJ? Well, LWJ is great, he’s Baba, he’s probably going to play a healing song that makes him feel bearable enough to make it through this, but then you add WN and WWX and their whole routine is gonna be thrown off.

WWX doesn’t realize how seasick this lil bun is till he’s in the boat with them, and immediate worry descends over him. Poor bun is already moaning in pain as he sits at the bottom of the boat, just close enough that he’s in the shade of the canopy but close to the edge so he can get over in time not to throw up on Baba.

He’s turned on full baby mode rn, and that’s about to set off WWX’s daddy instincts like none other. WN, on the other hand, is a trained nurse (probably would have trained as a doctor, if given the chance) and he’s already ushering WWX to sit behind the kid to give him something to lean against. LWJ is already pulling out the musical instruments so he can play a calm tummy song for his lil bun.

Why does WWX need to let the baby lean on him? Because Uncle Ning is coming to the rescue and he’s got Needles (WWX is a little horrified at WN gonna be using these needles on this poor defenseless bun who can’t even protect himself from icky tummy feel, but accepts that child abuse is about to happen right in front of him and he cannot stop it) but, the needles, are going to make LSZ’s entire abdomen numb af, and that includes his hips and upper back. Baby boy not gonna feel a damn thing with these needles, but he ain’t gonna be able to hold himself either.

Lots of questions from curious bunny when he’s no longer feeling anything and he’s a melty puddle against WWX who’s stroking his hair and giving him little nuzzles and cuddles and is holding his hand (WWX can’t figure out why, maybe it’s because he misses A-Yuan so much, but he just wants to hold this little one’s hand and give him kisses and tell him he’s being so very good even tho that evil Ghost General used instruments of torture on him and he’s got an icky tummy) and LWJ looks genuinely happy to see the teen no longer upset.

LWJ is going to learn this specific trick for numbing if it kills him. No way in hell is he letting his bun go seasick from now on.

But then, there’s no reason to play healing songs since no one’s gonna throw up, so, of course, this anxious dad pulls up what he knows will delight his lil bun, his son’s childhood lullaby. He hasn’t played it for him in years, and admittedly, he always used to hum it (with said little bun curled into his chest and being rocked to sleep, but he stopped being able to do it when LSZ moved into his own dormitory) and LSZ is just too damn tired to say anything other than having heard WWX play that back in Mo Village before he’s snuggling back into WWX and closing his eyes for a nap.

Anyways. That’s my wish fulfillment for the boat scene to Lotus Pier, baby cuddles and icky tummy’s and uncle’s to the rescue.

—- The second thing that I REALLY want rn!!! Okay so a few days ago I made a post about medical quirks I think people have, and I decided, that LSZ gets long term memory loss (amnesia) after a fever. No matter what, the memories come back, but you need to trigger them first.

The first thing they do when LSZ is sick, is move him back into the Jingshi so he can be with LWJ. No forgetting Baba allowed!!! Make sure he’s comfy while he’s healing, but only adults and healers to visit, because they don’t want the other kids getting sick too. So he usually stays remembering Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji the whole time, since they’re the usual suspects to take care of him. This sometimes leads him to think he’s less than 6 and resorts to asking a million questions like a child and climbing into laps for cuddles. It’s super cute and his Baba and Shufu love it. Give him lots of kisses and snuggles.

But then afterwards, he’s allowed outside again, and gets to reacquaint himself with the bunnies, and his friends. It’s super adorable because it’s always like meeting Lan Jingyi all over again. He loves him instantly every time. Also the bunnies. Sometimes Baba buries him in bunnies again while Shufu sits on the side and sighs a lot.

But then it finally happens. Post canon Sizhui gets a fever. And it happens while they’re on a night hunt. Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck.

LJY is the only one that knows what to do when Sizhui starts crying and pointing to them all and saying he Doesn’t Know Who They Are And Where Is Baba???????? Which mainly consists of saying ‘oh shit’ a lot and going to send a flare (he didn’t even go outside okay that little shit stuck his arm out the window and sent one lol) up before going over to LSZ and sitting next to him and piling blankets on him and saying that Baba is on his way but rn he gets to hang out with his cousin Jin Ling and their friend Ouyang Zizhen! Isn’t that fun! He can have fun with his cousin and friend!

No. That is not fun, and Sizhui’s little lower lip sticks out far enough that LJY knows he’s about to start crying and saying he hates all of them and wants Baba.

Jin Ling be shooketh. Sizhui? Little cuddly Sizhui? Hates them? The first one to say fuck it and climb into someone else’s bed when he’s cold? The one who’s learned how to make Mother’s Lotus Root And Pork Rib soup and the first time JiuJiu tried it he cried cause it was perfect? Sizhui who buried him in rabbits once and told him he was a good kid, just had a lot of anger in him? He hates them? Lol.

So then it seems like the whole crew shows up (Wen Ning, Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji, the whole dumbass crew in one go) which is good, cause Shufu to the rescue once more, making LSZ feel comfy and giving medicine. LWJ tells him they’re going home to Cloud Recesses and WWX frets over his baby.

It’s super cute. A week later, LSZ wanders out of the Jingshi not knowing left from right, and has to be reintroduced to his friends all over again.

WWX finally understands why his little boy forgot him for so long, and why memory is so damn precious to Lan Sizhui.

Anyways. I have feels.
