what a privilege and an honor it is to be explicitly allowed to reply to THE gusu lan bakery owner. i was beginning to think i would spend the rest of my life on the sisyphean journey of submitting a cake order form

since u have proven unreceptive to my cake writing requests in the past, i have taken the liberty of providing u with SEVERAL options, at least one of which i’m sure will whisk u off ur feet

without further ado, here is what i want written on my cake:

  1. gusu lan bakery owner, are u fresh out of the oven? bc u are too hot to handle
  2. gusu lan bakery owner, are u cake? bc i want a piece of thatttt
  3. gusu lan bakery owner, are u an oven? bc ur so hot i could bake cookies on u
  4. gusu lan bakery owner, are u made of pastry? bc ur a cutie pie
  5. gusu lan bakery owner, are u chili-flavored ganache? bc u spice up my life
  6. gusu lan bakery owner, are u a cupcake? bc i want to unwrap u

Wei Wuxian,

I did not say that. If anything, your deliberate lack of reading comprehension and inability to use adverbs properly both make you unsuitable.

Lan Wangji > Wei Wuxian

Lan Wangji: Wei Ying.

Wei Wuxian: yes, darling?

Lan Wangji: You must know I cannot fill this order.

Wei Wuxian: why not? it’s very legitimate

Lan Wangji: That message is highly inappropriate for my workplace.

Wei Wuxian: ohhhhhh

Wei Wuxian: so writing that on a cake in ur workplace is more inappropriate than what we actually did in ur workplace?

Lan Wangji: ...

Wei Wuxian: i’ll keep that in mind, lan zhan ♥️

Lan Wangji: From now on, you can request cakes from me personally. Do not use my bakery’s order form.

Wei Wuxian: so will u now make me a 2-inch, 24-layer, rhombicosidodecahedron-shaped purple velvet cake with red wine-flavored whipped fondant and margarita-flavored jello?

Lan Wangji: No. Stop asking for that.

Wei Wuxian: i am sighing longing-est-ly

Lan Wangji: Perhaps I could make a cake with several modifications.

Wei Wuxian: i am sighing joyful-est-ly

Lan Wangji: This is not going to work if you do not stop using fake adverbs.

Wei Wuxian: make me

Lan Wangji: OK.

Notes:

i will be posting another silly mdzs epistolary fic tomorrow and then perhaps i will disappear for a couple weeks while i go to alaska and then perhaps i will return and update my WIPs!!!! or perhaps not. idk i can't see the future
