[he's going to try to keep this short but he's also wei wuxian, so...]

Lan Zhan and I are finally getting married this month! If you can see this, consider it your invitation to celebrate with us and see how beautiful he looks in red.

[strangers too, and there should probably be some caveat here about not causing any trouble. but when one of the grooms is the yiling patriarch, things like that don't automatically spring to mind.]

Oh, and if you're a priest or a shaman or a holy woman, you're doubly invited, otherwise I'm really going to have to find someone to do the ceremony.

[now for the real reason that he's here:]

It took us a little longer than we thought it would to get to this point. I was impatient, but now I’m grateful, because so many members of my family have arrived to see it. My brother Jiang Cheng is here now - Sect Leader Jiang Cheng. [yeah, just gonna slip that in there.] He helped raise his nephew from infancy so I hope he can finally take a break and have a little fun.

[does thinking about a man raising a small child make him more attractive? it worked in lan wangji's favor, he's assuming it will work for his brother too.]

Before he came, I relied solely on Chifeng-zun - eh, Nie Mingjue to most of you. He agreed to stand for me when I didn't have anyone else to count on. Spending time with him, I realized that he’s just as fair and just as ever, not to mention generous. How do you repay someone who helped make the happiest day of your life possible?

[does he mention his muscles too, would that be weird? perhaps the better question, would it make lan zhan jealous?

he clicks his tongue.]


It's hard to believe that neither of these upstanding men is married yet. Or even have a date to the wedding... [let that sink in. he’s hoping it does. wei wuxian sighs and shakes his head at the tragedy of it.] I keep telling myself that surely there's someone who would like to attend and are in need of escorts themselves.

Did I mention that there'll be food and alcohol? Plenty of both.

Oh, one last thing. I've seen a lot of questions about dating lately. You can always send them my way. As a married man, I'm happy to share my knowledge with the junio--err, others.

[and with that, the puca is (finally) out.]

Lan Zhan, how was that? Do you think-

Jean Kirstein. Congratulations on your marriage.

[ He sounds slightly awkward when not talking about serious matters or sounding annoyed at things. ]

Are the both of you Mirrorbound or were you born here?

[She looks startled at that, trying to imaging Wangji taking care of a baby. It’s... surprisingly cute. Mostly because she imagines that normal calmness folding into a look of distress when the baby starts crying, and it’s a cute image...]

A son? [She leans in a little, eyes wide] What’s he like? Were you married before? How old is he?

[Oh, hmm. Wei Wuxian must not like him much. He thinks of the way he’d criticized her for getting water on her clothes and concedes that there might be some...issues there. Still—]

He’s funny. Not intentionally, but he’s definitely trying too hard sometimes I think. But he was nice to me, more or less. And he tried really hard at those games trying to win something for Yanli. He talked about his marriage a little... He really loves her.

And I think... if he makes Yanli happy and they love each other, what I think doesn’t really matter. I think they have hope.

You did just invite everyone, dear. There's bound to be a queue!

I'm sure I can find something. I look forward to attending. :) Are there any traditional gifts for newlyweds I should be aware of as well?

( one, two, three… four questions, one of which mildly horrifies him. it’s a barely-there twitch in his brow, and lan wangji patiently nods, a quiet thing tugging at his heart. ) A few years older than you. ( and he misses him. so much. )

His family passed. Wei Ying cared for him… until he no longer could. ( his gaze dims, old wounds never quite healed. he blinks once, slowly, breathing in as it softens all over again. ) His heart is fair and gentle, like his. ( ...without the wilder part. )

Are you sure you don't need any help with anything? Setting up or food? I have some free time if you need some extra hands.

[He's not sure who 'Shijie' is, but he can assume she's someone close to Wei Wuxian. If she's the only one helping with the ceremony, then it definitely sounds like she could use the help.

Riku nods.]


Sure. I wouldn't have offered if I didn't want to help. Just let me know how I can help.

[This is too good! Too cute! Much adorable! Sora is so jealous and happy for them both!]

Whoa, so you get to have two weddings? How come you get to have two weddings!

[He's laughing in good nature, though.]

It's always the quiet ones who end up liking romantic things, Huh? Huh!

[ It makes more sense that they were already from the same place. A marriage between two mirrorbound from different worlds just sounds doomed for failure. Then again, people can also do whatever makes them happy. ]

They do that, huh ... [ Awkward. He's dreading having to bond. ]

A few of my friends. Lots of people seem to know them. Do you know an Eren, Mikasa or Levi?

A lot of drinking, a healthy amount of fighting, and usually the happy couple goes through a ring tying ceremony if we can all get to that part. [ A bright chuckle. ]

[Talking? How is that healthy? It's much better to harass each other relentlessly]

Well, still saved you time rather than letting you waste it.

[Just admit that he did. He will be so much happier with that]

[She listens, absorbing the answers as she thinks on them. ‘Until he no longer could.’ Ah. Her expression becomes understanding—she remembered Wangji telling her about Wei Wuxian, and her own subsequent conversation with the man on her return about it.

...Probably, too, she should tell Wangji about it. It seems only right that he knows too, if Wei Wuxian does. But not right now.

Who do you think he takes after more?
