Wei Ying Had This Murky Image Of A Domestic Life With A Dedicated Partner And A Little One, Hand In Hand,

Wei Ying had this murky image of a domestic life with a dedicated partner and a little one, hand in hand, warm and loving, all that good stuff, but she told herself that was just an echo of her only memory with her parents. That reality was far, far away, and Wei Ying had more urgent matters now. She always seemed to have more urgent matters. Thankfully, Lan Zhan was always there to keep her steady.

I'm a few chapters in to a fic about wen yuan getting taken into foster care with cisswap wangxian. It's a lot and I don't know how long it will end up, but it's been lovely for processing some of my own experiences with becoming a foster parent. I have so many scenes saved up that I want to get to, just need to stitch them together! (My least favorite part lol.)

Rated M (may change to E, not sure yet).

tw childhood trauma, panic attacks, distressed babies (wwx included), so far just vague allusions to neglect and emotional abuse

Title from Notion by Tash Sultana.

WangXian Thoughts of the Day:

Lan Wangji’s reassuring “I am here.” 

Chapter 50, after Wei WuXian has been injured, and Lan Wangji is carrying him to safety on his sword. Prior to this Wei WuXian and had warned Lan Wangji not to go with him or his reputation may be destroyed.

Chapter 63, Wei WuXian is asleep recovering from injury.

Chapter 101, Wei WuXian being terrified of Fairy.

I always felt that every time Lan Wangji said “I am here”, Wei WuXian fell a little more in love.

Knowing that he’d definitely die, Wei Wuxian somehow grew calmer.

World building is addictive and forever the bane of actually completing an original story, even one that starts simple 😭.

I find myself making a correspondence table... AGAIN!
