Okay Heres My Frickin Goddamn

okay here’s my frickin goddamn

jiang cheng and lan wangji post because we know a) jiang cheng spends those years after wwx’s death supposedly chasing down demonic cultivators, torturing them and whatnot, and b) lan wangji speds those same years - after he’s out of seclusion - chasing down rumors of any and all strange activity, going where the danger is

they are obviously BOTH searching for wei wuxian, although as to what they’re hoping to find? neither of them can be sure. @acutebird-fics and I postulate that they’re both just looking for some Damn Closure.

but here’s the hilarious part okay. sooner or later, they run into each other. sooner or later they’re like ugh fuck what is HE doing here. sooner or later, they have to realize, not necessarily voicing it out loud, that they’re searching for the same damn thing.

think their awkward little tea party from the show’s second episode, only every other month in increasingly ludicrous destinations. think jiang cheng arriving somewhere remote and supposedly teeming with resentful energy, only to find lan wangji sitting down already playing his guqin, looking disinterested (and also maybe slightly sad) as he announces sect leader jiang’s help will not be needed, goodbye.

please think about a letter for hanguang-jun’s hands only, that goes along the lines of ‘so. there’s that cult. near yunping or whatever. just in case you’re headed that way. because I don’t really have the time. do with this information what you will. don’t even THINK about writing back. unless of course you find something. I don’t know. interesting. whatever. BURN THIS.’

just the two of them comparing notes a little bit, never acknowledging doing so, and inadvertently keeping tabs on each other throughout the years. that’s what I want to see, thank you and goodnight.

do you ever think about the fact that, when lan wangji brings wei wuxian to cloud recesses after he faints and after he hasn’t see him for 16 years, since he knows that wei wuxian is not possessing someone elses’s body, for all he knows he’s been alive and well for the past 16 years without telling him and doesn’t hold much affection for him anymore! 

that is why to lan wangji it is very important information the fact that wei wuxian has no idea where he was these past 16 years, because it also means that wei wuxian has not just decided to pretend he was dead for so long and not to be his friend anymore

and he believes that!

it’s not just a question of whether wei wuxian is telling the truth or not, there are also implications about whether wei wuxian intentionally decided not to be his friend anymore or not
