AU where wei wuxian is making his binding or bonding talisman and he’s always testing it on other people to see if it’s working. The victim of his testing is usually jc, just to annoy him.
“Wei Wuxian! If you don’t stop testing this talisman on me, so help me, I will carry +

you back to Cloud Recesses myself so they can raise you properly!”
Honestly wwx always receives threats such as these so all it does is make him laugh even harder because his teasing worked, but one day jc actually gives him a valid idea, unintentionally of course.

wwx would start perfecting his talisman, making it stronger and be able to hold the two people together over longer distances. Since he last updated his talisman, wwx hasn’t tried it on anyone yet, though he has already chosen his victim.
Wwx and jc are working together on a night hunt when they hear a dog bark in the distance and wwx anxoiously hides behind a tree. Jc never got his fear for dogs and continued walking in the hopes that eventually wwx would simply follow him. Of course, wwx doesn’t. Right before +
he casts the talisman, jc realizes what his idiot brother is about to do and abruptly exclaims: “Wei Wuxian, don’t you dare cast that binding thing on me right now, believe me, at this point you’d rather be handcuffed to Hanguang-Jun than to me!”. +
And wwx doesn’t cast it on him. Instead of startled, wwx looked at him inspired. His eyes crinkled, a grin appeared on his lips and soon he was beaming. No more words were exchanged and wwx hurried down the path like there wasn’t any dog nearby. +
Jc shook his head and followed him, albeit a bit reluctantly. Down the path wwx is yelling for lwj, he couldn’t wait to see his face when he saw how binding and bonding has been improved since last time wwx had used it on him. After a small search, he found lwj examining +
something on the ground. As to not let lwj known he was there, wwx even had to stifle a laughter. He quickly cast his talisman and finally let out laughter. Lwj turned around in surprise and held up his arm, examining the thread that was bound around it. +
“It’s red now”, he finally noted. There wasn’t any surprise whatsoever in his voice, and for a moment wwx felt disappointed. Wwx finally walks over to him, regaining his smug posture. “Ya Lan Zhan, what do you think? Isn’t it much prettier as a red thread?”. Lwj just nodded. +
“It’s stronger too, it can hold people together for at least 50 meters so don’t expect to lose me anytime soon”, wwx adds earnestly. “Mn”, is all lwj provides as an answer. They stand together in silence for a few moments when in the distance a loud noise can be heard. +
Immediatley wwx’ fight or flight response is triggered and he starts running the other way, away from the sound, away from the bark. He forgets lwj is tied to him and unintentionally drags lwj with him. Only after reaching the edge of the forest does wwx stop running and +
look behind him, only to see lwj still tied to him, face neutral, maybe slightly agitated, honestly who can really tell? ? Wwx chuckles nervously. “Sorry, sorry lan zhan, I’ll release the talisman now.” At least he tries, but after several attempts, wwx gives up. The thread +
simply doesn’t break. The two of them go to see lxc, the night hunt being the furthest thing on both their minds. But when lqr tells them not even he can break the talisman for them, wwx definitely feels defeated. Lxc isn’t finished though. +
“Perhaps the talisman doesn’t break because its intention was changed.” Wwx doesn’t understand, but lwj nods. “You tied it to the one person you can’t stand to be away from. Perhaps the talisman knows you feel certain things and will refuse to break until you acknowledge what +
you feel.” Wwx turns to lwj in disbelief, only to find lwj staring at him, face neutral, but with a warm glow. The realization washes over wwx like a warm waterfall and the corners of his mouth turn up slightly. “Lan Zhan, let’s talk outside for a bit, yeah?”, he asks +
quietly, almost in a shy manner. Lwj nods and walks out first. Wwx follows him and looks at the red thread connecting their wrists. Wwx suddenly realizes he would follow lwj anywhere.
End of thread!
