If Your Boyfriend Is So Scared Of Abandonment And Vulnerability That He Is Willing To Make You Openly

Xichenclipse 2021 Day 5

Marriage

Jiang Cheng tries not to think too much on his way to the Cloud Recesses, but he can’t deny that a ball of dread is forming in his stomach.

He knows why Lan Qiren is asking him to come personally, after everything that happened in the temple and Jiang Cheng is not looking forward to it. It wasn’t even Lan Xichen who sent him the letter and that alone says enough, in Jiang Cheng’s opinion.

Jiang Cheng hates how long it takes him to fly to the Cloud Recesses, despite going as fast as he dares to, because it leaves him too much time to think.

To re-think the promise he and Lan Xichen made all those years ago.

He knows that it’s neither his nor Lan Xichen’s fault that they are still not married, even though they have been betrothed for thirteen years but he can’t deny that over the last few months doubt started to creep in.

And now that he thought about it once, it makes sense.

It’s not like Jiang Cheng even believes that Lan Xichen wants out of this betrothal—he wouldn’t do that once he agreed to it in the first place, and Jiang Cheng does believe that Lan Xichen is at least fond of him—but maybe they are just not meant to be.

Maybe they should both look for other people already and put an end to whatever they have.

It would be easier, because Jiang Cheng cannot write or receive another message saying that the wedding is called off for now again.

Today will be the last time this happens, Jiang Cheng promises himself.

Jiang Cheng enters the Cloud Recesses with his jade token—which he intends to give back at the end of this talk—and he makes his way over to Lan Qiren’s quarters immediately.

He’s pretty sure he is being called here because after what happened with Jin Guangyao Lan Xichen is going to enter seclusion and Lan Qiren has the dubious honour of telling him that their marriage is yet again being delayed.

And Jiang Cheng can’t take it anymore.

He wants to be Lan Xichen’s husband more than anything—wants to be called husband in return—but only if Lan Xichen wants the same. And Jiang Cheng isn’t sure anymore if that is still the case.

Two of my favorite shows❤️❤️❤️

And some more Howl AU!

Using Kohaku to basically let out the voice of my heart after episode 22 :___)

i like working at plant store. sometimes you ring up someone and there's a slug on their plant and so you're like "Oh haha you've got a friend there let me get that for you" and you put the slug on your hand for safekeeping but then its really busy and you dont have time to take the slug outside before the next customer in line so you just have a slug chilling on your hand for 15 minutes. really makes you feel at peace with nature. also it means sometimes i get to say my favorite line which is "would you like this free slug with your purchase"

Fic idea

Dean goes to crash Sam's wedding because he found something shitty about Sam's fiance and is trying to save his baby brother

But he crashes the wrong wedding

"Don't do it! She's not who you want!" Dean yells the second he kicks open the Chappelle doors

Castiel doesn't wanna marry so and so, has been trying to get out of this arraigned bullshit for years

Sees a crazy dude crash his wedding and literally jumps at the opportunity. Doesn't think, just looks at his dad all "He's right father. She's not. I'm gay for that man!" Really awkwardly then runs to Dean, puts all his faith into this and jumps into his arms

Dean has no fucking idea what he just did, but the guards are behind him and now the groom in his arms is going "Run! Run! Run!"

And now Dean is running to his Impala, stuffing Castiel in it, and speeding away with him because fuck his life

And now Castiel is stuck in a road trip to save this random guy's brother from a sham marriage

An AU by @stan-the-cinnamon-roll-uris where after the events of IT, Eddie and Stan come back as a cat and little owl respectively but end up being looked after by the opposite partner, with Patty finding an adorable cat she names Bear and Richie finding an owl drenched in the rain and looking after the little guy (Which will be the partb2 of this I’ll do at some point)

The way they have to resolve this is for Patty and Richie to swap the pets so they’ll turn back

NOW WITH PART 2

In the same way that humans summon demons for impossible requests, demons summon humans for help with basic things that they cannot do themselves.
