“Come on, gege,” Hua Cheng whispers. “You’ll feel so much more comfortable in clean clothes.”
“Tired,” Xie Lian mumbles into the pillow.
“Let me do all the work,” Hua Cheng says, rubbing his husband’s back. He scoots closer. “You don’t have to help at all. Just say yes, and then be as floppy as a noodle. Let me help you.”
Xie Lian turns his head into Hua Cheng’s thigh. No answer. Time to bring out the big guns.
“It makes your poor San Lang so sad to not be allowed to help,” Hua Cheng says with an exaggerated pout. “I’ll get bored. I’ll wither away, and then who will bother you for kisses? Don’t you have anything for me to do?”
Xie Lian laughs - a quiet little thing, but still a victory. Almost imperceptibly - but in a way Hua Cheng knows is for him, and oh how he preens at being trusted to watch so closely - Xie Lian nods.
“Thank you,” Hua Cheng whispers, leaning down to drop a kiss on his beloved’s head. He reaches for the new robes he brought, and soon, Xie Lian is just a little more comfortable.
That’s all he wants. Just to be allowed to bring comfort to his god.
Based on this post that has been stuck in my head for ages- the three straightest guys lmao

Mu Qing: Before you were interrupted?
Feng Xin: Cut me off one more time and I swear I'll-
Mu Qing: What?
Feng Xin: *makes frustrated sound*

Always wanted to illustrate that one scene...
classiccccc
Mdzs as a d&d game.
Dm: You are dropped into the Burial Mounds
Wwx: Can I survive this?
Dm: Make a constitution roll
Wwx: Nat 20
Dm: Alright, you survive. Now tell me how
Jc: I try to prove that it's Wei Wuxian
Dm: Roll for perception and charisma
Jc: 15 and 3
Dm: While there is almost no doubt in your mind that Mo Xuanyu is actually Wei Wuxian, you have no real means to prove it. You have to let the group leave
Lwj: I drag Wei Ying to the inn
Wwx: Hey! How come he gets to know who I am without a perception check?
Dm: Because you practically told him
Lwj: I would like to seduce Wei Ying
Dm: Roll for charisma
Lwj: 18
Dm: Alright. You tell Wei Wuxian in as simple terms as your drunk self can manage, how much he means to you. Wei Wuxian, roll for perception
Wwx: My dice just rolled off the table and into the trash
Dm: Unfortunately, the love of your life is stupid

hc that lan wangji wrote a shit ton of poetry. from when he met wei wuxian, he was constantly writing poems about him. after he died, the poems turned from passionate and hopeful to mourning, just as lwj did. after wwx returned, there wasn't really much time to write, what with them running around the jianghu mystery-solving, but once everything has settled down and they're living together, wwx finds the poetry hidden in the jingshi. there are hundreds of pages, enough to fill dozens of books, and the vast majority of them are very clearly about wwx. before this, there was a part of wwx that still thought this was temporary, that lwj would get tired of him and he would be thrown out. but reading the poems lwj had written over the years destroyed that doubt. wwx saw so much of what lwj's life had been like, while wwx was dead; some of the pages were spotted with tears, even blood. many were smudged, or had been crumpled and smoothed out. by the time lwj returns to the jingshi after his duties, wwx is lying on the floor, tear tracks staining his face, surrounded by the contents of lwj's heart.
Wei Wuxian: So I've tried every talisman, array, curse, whatever, that I can think of, and I do think it's actually impossible for me to get pregnant.
Shen Qingqiu: Oh. That's something you want to do. Well in my world it's been theorized that impregnating a man would not be beyond the powers of a demon lord, but I haven't allowed Binghe to try and figure out if it's true. Ha! With all the ridiculous shit Airplane added to my world I wouldn't be surprised if we have a plant or spell or something that can let a man get pregnant.
Wei Wuxian: ...what.
Xie Lian: My world has a pill that a man can take to let him get pregnant.
Wei Wuxian: you're telling me that both of your worlds have male pregnancy aids?
Shen Qingqiu: hey, I only said that I wouldn't be surprised if it did...
Xie Lian: Actually I could probably change genders to get pregnant too. Or I could impregnate San Lang. I guess there are a few different options.
Wei Wuxian: ....
Wei Wuxian tapping the glass of his enclosure: I want to talk to the person in charge here. MXTX I need a word.
