behind bars

Summary:

That flirty (?) moment when you've been framed for a crime you didn't commit so you send your husband letters from behind bars.

(aka two letters sent between wwx and lwj whilst wwx languishes in prison)

Notes:

Ok so this is what I’m fondly referring to as my innocence project au, cos I recently watched the Netflix show and it inspired this. Basically in a modern au where everyone has a dragon shift, wwx is framed for something he didn’t commit and is sent to prison for like, 30 years or whatever. Wwx and lwj are working with the modern cultivation equivalent of the innocence project to try and get wwx found innocent and released. Lsz is like 4 during this fic, and in this au wangxian developed a braincell and got married when lsz was 2, then a year later wwx was framed when he was 3. Eventually wwx is released, but imagine that his prison stay is this au’s equivalent of him being dead 13 years lol, with an eventual happy ending.

I was initially just gonna draw, but I got bit by the ‘write flirty letters’ bug so have this instead lol. I sort of mashed up your requests, but I hope you enjoy this anyway!

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

My dearest Lan Zahn,

Lan er-gege, Lan Zahn, dearest husband, oh how I miss you, how I crave the close comfort of your touch, of our home... I am still counting down the days until we meet again, until I can hold you close and kiss you. I miss your smell, you know? Your lovely scent... Wei Ying I can hear you reproach, but don’t worry, not that scent my silly Lan Zahn! To think I miss sandalwood incense, you really have changed me, my dearest er-gege. Could you send me some, so that I can at least surround myself in your familiar scent, if not your arms?

Oh Lan Zahn, this distance is really unbearable... What I wouldn’t give to be with you now... But anyway, tell me how our son is faring! He must miss his papa, yes? I miss him so much, I positively ache with the desire to squidge his soft cheeks, groom his little fluffy baby dragon beard, cuddle him close. You must do these things for me, Lan Zahn, my dearest husband must not deprive our son of what he needs to develop into a well balanced adult.

I will send a more detailed letter in a bit! I’m getting pretty busy on this side, so I don’t have as much time to write anymore :( but this is also good! You should receive my longer letter soon, I have so much to tell you about! When you read this, make sure to tell a-Yuan how much I love him, and give him a kiss and cuddle from me, okay my dearest er-gege? And tell him to give you the same from me! We must not leave you out, after all! I wouldn’t want my dearest husband, my dearest Lan Zahn to feel left out after all!

My next letter should arrive soon, but until then have my love and kisses! My many, many kisses! Lan Zahn, I love you so much. A-Yuan, I love you too! I wait impatiently for the next time I can give you a cuddle!!

All of my love,

Your husband, your Wei Ying <3

 


 

Dearest Wei Ying,

Husband, I too feel our separation, miss holding you in my arms. Our son misses you too, and goes to hide and sulk under our bedroom dresser when I tell him we cannot yet visit you. He has learned to control his shifts, but whenever he gets upset he seems to find scales a more comfortable skin. Trying to extract him from a hiding place when we play games reminds me of trying to get Wei Ying out of bed in the morning, a struggle of smooth scales and giggles. Dear husband, when our son smiles I see your happy face, and I feel content that you have given him your look of happiness, given me your smile through our son. We are both eagre to visit you soon, but until then I have attached some incense sticks and one of the family photographs, to remind yourself of our love.

I will see you soon, my heart,

Your husband,

Lan Zahn

(A-Yuan also sends his love, he told me he kissed the photograph and that he hopes he was able to send it to you.)
