lirazel<p>I feel like JYL has got to already be married off and in Lanling because if she was there in Lotus Pier, there would be some actual emotional competence to intervene, and we can&#39;t have that. (Also because she does not deserve to have to deal with these idiots.)</p><p>Instead we have to have pining and angst and resentment that eventually blows up in a golden core reveal and ends with a threesome. </p><p><a href="https://federatedfandom.net/tags/cqlplotbunnies" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>cqlplotbunnies</span></a></p>
lirazel<p>So in this world, WWX is still dealing with his depression re: golden core and now has the added angst of seeing the people he&#39;s most obsessed with (I&#39;ll have to ponder whether he knows he&#39;s in love with LWJ or JC) be together.</p><p>JC figures out very quickly that LWJ is still in love with WWX, so then he&#39;s got the &quot;literally everyone in my life including my husband prefers WWX to me oh and also I&#39;ve been in love with WWX since we were kids&quot; angst.</p><p>And LWJ is still trying to convince WWX to give up resentful cultivation, which just pisses WWX off, so he&#39;s dealing with the love of his life pushing him away AND the fact that he has this new husband he&#39;s super awkward around.</p><p>Angst angst angst angst angst!</p><p><a href="https://federatedfandom.net/tags/cqlplotbunnies" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>cqlplotbunnies</span></a></p>
lirazel<p>JC picks LWJ over NHS because LWJ is a badass cultivator who he thinks will be much better at helping him rebuild a sect.</p><p>This may or may not be true--I think NHS would be an extremely competent administrator if he stopped trying to hide behind his facade. But there&#39;s no doubt that LWJ would be a boon to any sect because of the excellence of his cultivation.</p><p><a href="https://federatedfandom.net/tags/cqlplotbunnies" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>cqlplotbunnies</span></a></p>
lirazel<p>So now I&#39;m trying to work out when the best time for a JC/LWJ/WWX fic would be. </p><p>It&#39;s got to be pre-WWX&#39;s death. I would like a fic about them post-resurrection, but I feel like it would need to be 100k words long to deal with all the accumulated trauma/rage/complicated feelings about the Wens. And I am just not going to write a novel-length fic at this point in my life.</p><p>So the possibility that makes the most sense to me is: after the Sunshot Campaign, everybody decides it would be a good idea for the new Jiang-zongzhu take a spouse from another sect. But lbr, LWJ &amp; NHS are the only candidates. </p><p>JC agrees to marry LWJ because he doesn&#39;t know that LWJ is totally in love with WWX. He especially thinks their falling out after the three months in the Burial Mounds was a friendship-ender for them.</p><p>LWJ agrees because he&#39;s going to have to marry either JC or NHS or someone he barely knows from another sect &amp; if he picks JC, at least he&#39;ll be near WWX. </p><p>Maximum angst, no?</p><p><a href="https://federatedfandom.net/tags/cqlplotbunnies" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>cqlplotbunnies</span></a></p>
