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 ‘there’s a couple things we have to agree on first. one is that we can’t have kids because there can’t be a wen heir.’

wen qing is like ‘...yeah that’s fine i don’t want kids.’ (this is also the au where she absolutely can manipulate energy for contraception)
(also she’s 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 ‘the other thing is that sometimes i’m going to look prettier than you & wear prettier things than you. & you’re going to have to be ok with that ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯’

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 wq’s veil to let a moment of envy pass by

wq: well?

nhs: ...

then,
nhs, suddenly flustered by ‘oh no she’s pretty’: you look beautiful
wq: ......
nhs: ...
wq, with a nervous-aggressive edge: i thought we talked about this.
nhs: uhh? oh, no, i’m not trying to hit on you, sorry. i really did mean it, we don’t have to...to consummate or anything. let’s 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: đŸ˜¶
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 ‘help im so gay’
