Give me back Master Ling! ...Lan...Fan?
Non-GIF version (with detail shots): [x]
VERY LATE @fmasecretsanta gift for @avarixing! (Thank you so much for your patience ;A; ) :D An AU where instead Ling turns into just a homunculus, he also turns into a half-dragon Greed ;) I actually have a very elaborate AU story set for this, will post it together with the non-gif version!
Thank you to @gabbiki and @kriselledraws for the help! ;A;

Sorry for the long post ;n; Very late @fmasecretsanta gift for @avarixing! <3 I got the idea when they spoke of Dragon!Greed in their prompt :D (click to see the details better!)
Again, thanks to @gabbiki and @kriselledraws for helping me out with this!
Long AU background story I will never write below the cut! (also, sorry writing is not my forte’)
The Emperor of the Xing has been given a prophecy that one of his children will kill him-- it is the child who’ll bear the mark of the “Eternal”. Threatened by this, he orders high-ranking officers to inspect every clan once a year, to check if this prophesied child truly exists, and if it does, that they immediately kill them.
12th Prince of Xing, Ling Yao, receives this mark on his 7th birthday, and in his excitement (thinking that it was just a really cool tattoo), shows this to his mother. Lifen Yao, knowing of the Emperor’s plot, is devastated to see her son bear the mark, and decides to immediately flee the palace. Unfortunately, one of the Emperor’s spies hears of this and tracks them down.
With the help of Fu, one of Clan Yao’s most trusted and loyal allies, they manage to escape unscathed. Together with Fu’s grand daughter, Lan Fan, Ling and his mother learn to live the life of a civilian, staying in a rural part of the empire, where it would be difficult for them to be discovered.
They live their lives peacefully.
At least, until Ling’s 15th name day.
The Emperor, having gone half-mad because the death-child is still out in the open, signs a decree that whomsoever brings him this boy’s head-- together with its cursed mark --would be the next ruler of the kingdom.
Ling eventually gets captured by one of the royal heirs, and is brought to their clan’s prison cell. Lan Fan, although ordered by her grandfather to stay behind, goes after the prince, planning to save him.
Although the prophecy wasn’t only that.
This prophesied child isn’t only meant to kill the emperor, but inside them, lives a powerful being, who will eventually save the land from its utter demise.
This being would come out on the first full moon after the wielder’s 15th birthday.
The scene above depicts Lan Fan’s meeting with this “being”, which is Dragon!Greed, who escaped his prison cell.
I got the story from a character’s story arc in Fushigi Yuugi: Genbu Kaiden. It’s not exactly alike but they’re pretty similar. Greed, the “dragon”, would only show up every time the empire of Xing is on the threat of being wiped out. Since I don’t think I explained that part well-- if there are any corrections, please feel free to message me and I’ll edit it right away! IT’S already morning here I haven’t slept so I feel like there are some mistake
Lingfan Week: Mask & Greed
“I may have the money, the status, and the power, but much like the greedy one, I desire for more.
This might be too much to ask, but if you will, should you allow someone as greedy as I am to become your husband?”
Original idea for this prompt was something completely different, but then inspiration hit me and it is what it is now. I have one more art submission for LFweek, which is also my last one. Hoping to pass it before the month ends!
VERY VERY many thanks to my friends who looked over and helped me come up with the appropriate text for this (because I sure am NOT a writer), to @/manalfedz, @gabbiki, and @sera-luna-stella who, in this order, gave me the main idea, the line for the text, and polished the it to what it is now! And to @pahndah and @thecoolandspicyotaku for checking if IC~ (I've consulted a LOT of people for JUST the text alone orz), and to @kriselledraws and @gabbiki for looking over the anatomy, absolutely Gabbii for being so patient with me on this one!

Screenshot redraw from the live action trailer! Hoping the actors embody the characters well, so far they look great! 💛
Based on these scenes
oo also ling and lan fan if u want!
Hmmmm ok so Lingfan..
I don't ship it, I genuinely think Ling and Lan Fan have a sibling relationship; Or better yet she's his lesbian best friend. I see the appeal, I think it can be cute ig but I just don't see it nessicarily?
I also see Ling as seeing Fu and Lan Fan as the family he has (Similar to how I think Ed sees Pinako and Winry, as his grandmother and either sister or cousin), rather than thinking of someone such as Mei Chang as family despite bonds of blood. (Bonds through the soul, like he explained to Greed. I will keep bringing that up.)
Anyway, yeah. Nice ship, don't ship it though. But again, I'm a multishipper, *puts edling, Edwin, panwinfan, winfan, panwin, lingfan into my pocket*; I can't say that I won't like lingfan art or read a lingfan fic if I see one.
As long as it isn't sexual too. I dont like sexual shipping of these characters because they're kids. (I also think Lan Fan is greatly asexual) I forgot to say that on my Edling post.
