i keep having galaxy brain rarepair moments today? latest is wen qing + genderfluid NHS, maybe arranged/political marriage au?
timeline change; wwx and wen qing save nmj; a grateful nhs proposes/agrees to marry wen qing in repayment, so the nie can take in the wen remnants
also nhs is like âthereâs a couple things we have to agree on first. one is that we canât have kids because there canât be a wen heir.â
wen qing is like â...yeah thatâs fine i donât want kids.â (this is also the au where she absolutely can manipulate energy for contraception)

(also sheâs not even attracted to nhs yet, why would they even be having sex, how presumptuous)
(this wq is also demi, cause i said so)

nhs is like âthe other thing is that sometimes iâm going to look prettier than you & wear prettier things than you. & youâre going to have to be ok with that ÂŻ\\_(ă)_/ÂŻâ
wq just gives him an unamused look (doesnt roll her eyes, not comfortable enough) because, not important here

except like...it is important but nhs is presenting something important as an extremely veiled half joke
wedding night: nhs hesitates before taking off wqâs veil to let a moment of envy pass by
wq: well?
nhs: ...
then,
nhs, suddenly flustered by âoh no sheâs prettyâ: you look beautiful
wq: ......
nhs: ...
wq, with a nervous-aggressive edge: i thought we talked about this.
wq: well?
nhs: ...

nhs: uhh? oh, no, iâm not trying to hit on you, sorry. i really did mean it, we donât have to...to consummate or anything. letâs just drink and go to sleep, right?
wen qing nods, untenses a bit.
wq says lightly, a few minutes later: you look very pretty, too
nhs:

nhs:

this is taken with very mixed feelings, of course, because wq is just trying to lighten the mood by referencing that conversation they had when they were agreeing on the marriage
the mood of this very queer au can be summed up as nhs looking at wen qing and thinking âhelp im so gayâ
