#the core problem

Alternate scenario: Lan Xichen panicks about the qi deviation and distances himself from Jiang Cheng because he cant watch another of his loved one die in this way, which only makes everything worse for Jiang Cheng :D

So I’m in pain bc of u but my brain just likes to suffer or something bc when u said “after the core is dissolved he can live happily with everyone” my brain automatically went “Not many people can survive the shock that it is to lose a core (bc it’s like losing a vital organ or something like that) and JC has in that AU lost 2 so the odds of surviving for long after that don’t seem to be on his favor so his loved ones just helped his dear along and they have to live with that :p”

No!! Bad bee! Bad!! You can't DO that to my JC!! Let him live happily with his boyfriend/husband, nephew, and brother!!!! HASN'T HE GONE THROUGH ENOUGH ALREADY??? now if you want to give us some JC fluff, I'm all for it
