branchandrootLan Sizhui and Lan Jingyi do the "communicating plans with a look" thing while fighting the sword spirit at the Mo house. I am 100% writing porn for them.
Jin Ling is a very good archer, which is an interesting connection with his most troublesome uncle.
Wei Wuxian seems to use birth names whenever he wants to be friends with someone his own age (eg Wen Ning, Lan Zhan), only sticking with courtesy names when it's the only one he knows (Nie Huaisang). Which makes it a little heartbreaking that no one in his family calls him Wei Ying. Even Jiang Yanli calls him a-Xian, which is sweet and familiar, but not reciprocal and not the way she calls Jiang Cheng (a-Cheng).
Intimacy, among the Lans seems to be indicated by using given names alone, albeit courtesy names. No diminutives. Good grief, they're so formal. Interestingly, Wei Wuxian seems to try to abide by this, at first, a little, and calls Lan Wangji Ji-xiong.
Jiang, on the other hand, is much more familial and informal. Jiang Cheng introduces Wei Wuxian as his shige. I nearly died of the adorable.
Lan Xichen explicitly thinks Wei Wuxian will be good for Lan Wangji to be friends with, which really makes one wonder about how little he may agree with his uncle's method of raising them and how hard that took on Lan Wangji. And possibly also about his sense of humor, since he clearly thinks it's hilarious that Lan Wangji has an i-dont-know-its-a-crush on Wei Wuxian.
The whole lecture-at-Lan experience is a not-fun one for Jiang Cheng. /Every/ time Wei Wuxian goes larking off with someone else (Nie Huaisang, Lan Wangji, even Wen Ning), he looks like a left-behind puppy.
