Eternal Contradiction

The mortifying ordeal of being super attracted to the man you could be married to (but aren’t) by relenafanel

Wei Wuxian hadn’t been avoiding Lan Wangji for years, but he hadn’t been not-avoiding Lan Wangji either. There was something awful and awkward about seeing your intended spouse after turning them down that Wei Wuxian just didn’t want to deal with. It helped that he went away for university, and that Lan Wangji went away for university, and they happened to both go to different countries. Wei Wuxian liked to think they both wanted to get as far away from the situation as possible. (the situation being each other) So why, then, does Wei Wuxian’s heart skip a beat every time he sees Lan Wangji? And why is adult Lan Wangji so hot? It’s not fair that they could be married and instead Wei Wuxian is awkwardly pining for his former betrothed, a boy he once publicly broke it off with without regret.

The first chapter of my MDZS Big Bang fic is up. I'll do a more formal post for it later that has proper tagging etc. Currently, the artist I was working with has pulled out so they're looking for a pinch hitter for the fic. You'll get a more detailed post that includes collaborator info once I know those details 😂 but for now you can enjoy chapter 1!

❤️‍🔥 wwx finds out lwj is back in town a decade after rage quitting their betrothal

❤️‍🔥 wwx learns this while at a gala when nhs texts him to warn him lwj is there

❤️‍🔥 wwx sees a hot man across the room at the gala

❤️‍🔥 wwx does not put together that if your former betrothed is back in town and you see a hot man at a gala that might not be a coincidence

❤️‍🔥 wwx tries to flirt with lwj

❤️‍🔥 lwj is not impressed

❤️‍🔥 wwx yeets himself off a balcony to go freak out about this in some bushes

❤️‍🔥 wwx decides it’s ok. People have weird moments of temporary insanity attraction all the time.

❤️‍🔥 usually not him but he’s heard it’s a thing

❤️‍🔥 transitional chapter so it feels like nothing happens but also there's some important character movement

❤️‍🔥 they eat lunch together

❤️‍🔥 wwx finds out he could be married

❤️‍🔥 this shouldn't be a shock; it's a shock

❤️‍🔥 he develops complex feelings about that

❤️‍🔥 they start texting each other

❤️‍🔥 author still can't remember what the full title is without copy/pasting it

❤️‍🔥wwx freaks out a little at the thought of seeing lwj again

❤️‍🔥wwx freaks out a little at the thought of NOT seeing lwj again

❤️‍🔥they see each other again, lwj has improved his flirting skills

❤️‍🔥 wwx calls lwj "lan zhan" in a breathless tone and it meant a lot to me personally

❤️‍🔥they have no clue they're probably dating

The art by @whiskersspell is now available, friends! Please show it some love!

❤️‍🔥 wwx confesses (to mianmian)

❤️‍🔥 mianmian shovel talks him on his own behalf

❤️‍🔥 school fundraiser; author didn’t have inspiration to name the school henceforth known as The Academy

❤️‍🔥 lwj makes a dick joke

❤️‍🔥 lwj grabs wwx around his slutty little waist and we all rejoice

❤️‍🔥 enter nhs (witness) and jc (was also there)

A summary via emojis:

❤️‍🔥 oh girl, you're so subtle

❤️‍🔥 is this a sugar daddy kink?

❤️‍🔥 wwx starts to think they may be dating; he's probably right

❤️‍🔥 9:30 pm duel in a mcdonald's parking lot over lwj's honour

❤️‍🔥 they pinky swear not to be mean to each other anymore

❤️‍🔥 (unless negotiated ahead of time as a bedroom activity; which they didn't agree on but we all know it was unspoken)

A summary via emojis:

❤️‍🔥 they take a fancy walk; wwx realizes they're going to have to reveal their relationship to their families, which is objectively worse than to their friends

❤️‍🔥 they make out in a library.

❤️‍🔥 if author had a make-out-in-library kink at one point in her life it's been ruined by working in a library. however, this scene could challenge that

❤️‍🔥 i'm joking it's not that hot

❤️‍🔥 lwj reveals something we all knew and isn't a super secret, but wwx is SHOCKED.

❤️‍🔥 wwx decides it's time to make up for publicly breaking off their proposal by publicly breaking on their proposal.

He′s my man

a) Lan Wangji is The Baby. Brother is paying Quite A Lot Of Attention to someone who is 1) not him 2) suspiciously younger-brother shaped 3) oh it's not like that well still

b) Jin Guangyao's whole thing is being polite and ingratiating in a way that most people find very pleasant but I think Wangji Would Not. do not try to make me like you. i already don't. you're just doing this to suck up to xichen.

c) he is not only a Jin (sus) he actively strove to become a Jin. he could have not had everyone know he was Jin Guangshan's son, and not had to spend time being with and showing respect for Jin Guangshan, but he did it, on purpose. filial piety is one thing but At What Cost.

d) learning lots of different techniques when you could just obsessively perfect and memorize one technique? i mean..... sure......... if that's what works for you.............

playing with each others hairs and clothing.... kissing homies goodnight.... u know... the bro stuff.......
