Husband Dearest

Husband Dearest

A ChengXian ABO AU where WangXian was once a happy married couple until a freak accident gave LWJ amnesia, and unfortunate circumstances forced the couple to divorce. 

.

.

LWJ just couldn’t reconnect with WWX no matter how much either of them tried.

Now divorced, WWX meets a young businessman in a coffee shop by the name of JC. 

JC has seen his fair share of tragedy in recent years. His parents died in a car accident two years ago, and only a few weeks ago, his sister and brother-in-law died in a condo fire, leaving him to care for their barely-a-month-old son. 

They grouse about the shitty days they’re having and lament their seemingly bleak lives together, which sparks a friendship that blooms into a loving marriage.   

Within thirteen years, they have three beautiful children, a diligent nephew, and all the happiness in the world.

On the flip side, thirteen years later, LWJ seems to regain some of his lost memories and seeks out WWX.

So, I was reading tokio-fujita’s translation of Hakuouki Reimeiroku, and the story of Kiyohime was brought up in one of the routes. I didn’t know a thing about it; so, I did a quick Google search and read the Wikipedia article on it. 

As I looked at it, I couldn’t help but see the story of Kiyohime vaguely referenced in Ryunosuke and Kosuzu’s names: Kiyohime became a dragon (or a serpent), and Anchin was burned alive beneath a bell. 

Now, ofc Kosuzu is nothing like Anchin, nor is Ryunosuke like Kiyohime, but hear me out:

What if Kosuzu and Ryu were the reincarnations of Anchin and Kiyohime, and in this life, the cyclic game of cat and mouse comes to an end. Ryunosuke decides to not see Kosuzu anymore (as per Harada’s route) and, as Kiyohime, lets go of someone he cannot have rather than dwelling on the hurt and letting it consume him. On Kosuzu’s side, she as Anchin is hit with the realization of how much she wants Ryunosuke when he walks away from her, never to be in her life again, and confesses her real feelings. These changes of heart allow them to live this life as lovers and happily ever after.

Bloody Head God

Controversial god!WWX + ABOD’s

.

.

Before ascension, he was a general who survived a stab wound through the head, which left an ugly scar in the center of his forehead. He gained a cult following for this feat and his bloody victory in the war against the foe that mutilated him. His followers all wear red marks in commemoration of his amazing survival with the highest-ranking members wearing actual scars. His statues often double as fountains, water running from thematically appropriate holes in their foreheads.

As an omega god, his image is closer to a fiery force of carnage rather than one of method and strategy. You can thank the sexism that paints omegas as highly emotional (and therefore unfit for the battlefield).

The reality is people have buried the true WWX: his playfulness, charisma, wit, and talent in all the Six Arts. In equal measure, they overlook the part of him that is a defender, a solid and imposing wall between the weak and the ones who would exploit them. 

The most obscure aspect of WWX, however, is his motherhood. He is a god, one often depicted as an immense force of violence and martial prowess, but there’s not one good mother alive who doesn’t understand the plight of another. 

[1/2] How 'bout an ABO AU where alpha!JZX was in love with omega!WWX, but thanks to WWX's status as a servant's son (and later a demonic cultivator), he couldn't pursue him? After marrying JZX, beta!JYL finally had a taste of how her mother felt in her relationship w/ her father—she would never be her husband's first choice. Resentment took root in her when the realization dawned on her, but she couldn't bring herself to be open about her feelings. She was too kind.

Jiang Yanli hates a part of herself. The part that had been glad when her little brother (her silly, mischievous, always smiling little brother who only wanted her to be happy) died a horrible death. That hideous part of her had been nothing but happy to hear it. Now A-Xuan will love me, it had whispered.

But no. Wei Wuxian was dead and she was alive but that didn’t matter to her husband. Jin Zixuan’s heart may as well have died with her brother.

Perhaps this is a fitting punishment for being so cruel and jealous. To live in a cold, loveless marriage like her mother had. To have the man she loves dream of a dead man.

The Trash Fires are a Power Couple

An ABO AU where a married couple transmigrated into the bodies of omega!SS and alpha!JZXun

.

.

In their first life, Yin Angye (訚昂烨 / YAY) and Wei Mujing (韦慕晶 / WMJ) were a renowned martial arts director and the CEO of a family-run corporation that had been happily married for over a decade. Unfortunately, a freak car accident took their lives, and they were thrust into the bodies of two scummy cultivators. (You know who they are. Their names are in the header.)

The couple must now navigate this unfamiliar cultivation world while thinking one another are dead. They’ll reunite, of course, and realize they’re both alive in this world, but it’d be much easier if there were less adjusting to be done and politics and a war on the horizon between four of the great sects and the tyrannical one that’s trying to squash them all under its thumb, but they’ll manage. They always did.

[1/2] JYL Kills WWX AU: In response to the idea of JYL using Suibian to kill her brother, it takes her a little over a week to fully register what she did. In that moment, she felt relief, triumph. She obtained justice for her late A-Xuan who was so brutally murdered by WWX's Ghost General, and was it not within her right to do so? Everyone who celebrated WWX's death reassured her that no one could blame her, and yet why, after the festivities have died down, does she feel so empty?

[2/2] She’s alone in her room when the realization finally hits her, when she can think without the distracting cheers and praise of the LLJ and many other sects’ disciples. She killed her brother. She took his own sword and killed him, and she’s not even sure if she could call it an act of justice. After all, she only felt the fury that was deeply hidden within her as she drove the blade through A-Xian’s neck. Perhaps she’s more like the Violet Spider than anyone thought, she thinks.

[3/2] She even spat venom at him as he fell to the ground, blood pouring from the wound in his neck «she» made, and as she recalled the scene, she could easily see her mother’s face over her own. Instead of pride for finally showing she was indeed YZY’s daughter, she can only feel shame and remorse. She used the hidden strength from her mother to mercilessly slaughter her brother, and she cries herself to sleep harder that very night than when A-Xuan was pronounced dead.
