Question,
Is anyone interested in a The Untamed/Mdzs/GDC fic?
Was thinking of doing a retell of the story but in an OC/Reader POV ( probably female ). This will be a clash of events from the storyline and ones created specifically for the OC.
Simple synopsis:
[__], daughter of an elder from the Huanghu Shangu Hong, has finally been grant permission to officially enter the cultivation world. At the age of ten, [__] set off to travel the entirety of Jinshui empire and finishing their route at the age of thirteen.
Deciding that travelling all of Jinshui wasn’t enough, [__] decided to travel to Zhongguo(China). Deciding to stop at Gusu Lan Clan first, [__] managed to meet the Twin Jades. Without knowing it, [__] became entangled in their fate.
So anyone interested? It’s just an idea that was sticking in my head. Not even sure if it will make it to reality even. Gosh, I’m not even sure if I will include romance or just a figure that overwatches the characters.
Warnings: Quite long — (at least 3 arcs), change in events, ROLE REVERSAL ( OC-wise)

In a rash moment of her youth, Li Zhaoyun committed a terrible mistake that not even ten thousand reincarnations can fix. As a result, she was able to learn how tall the heavens and earth are as well as how many dangers there are in a lifetime.
The night is a period that always gives one a gloomy, ghastly feeling, making people unable to fully cherish its endless beauty. However, it is not the darkness that covers every organism under its black layers that makes people naturally avoid it but whatever happens behind the thick layer of fog.
On a certain night, countless footsteps rashly echoed into the chilly night sky, leaving swish swashing sounds behind in the dangerous bamboo forest. After hearing it, a woman hastily emerged from the bamboo grove, one hand holding a branch drenched in blood, the other, holding on to a small child.
This person’s expression was as white as snow, sweat drenching her entire body. Her raggy inner clothes were drenched in a sight of red blossoms, making her look exactly like a female demon who enjoys harming others. Just from the intense smell of blood and the form as rigid as ice is enough for people to acknowledge that their wounds are not light.
The child within her hold, hugs her sleeves tightly, “Niang*.”
*Niang (娘) - mother*
When the woman heard the calls of the child, she gently stroked her head, comforting her, “ Do not be afraid, niang is here.”
When the child heard this, the yatou* immediately shakes her head, hands tightening her hold of the sleeve, “ I am not scared. Is niang alright?”
*Yatou (丫头) - girl, can be use as a term of endearment or insult*
“ I am fine, we’re almost there, try to hold out for a bit more.”
The little yatou nods her head, arms wrapped tightly around the women’s neck. Her eyes stared intensely at the back like someone was going to jump out from the groves.
Even though the little yatou looked a bit pitiful, no one can dare lie about the perceptiveness of her eyes, a worldly contrast to her current appearance. With just a light glance, it is enough to know that she is not of a common background. To summarize, her eyes are like a tiger's, no prey would dare to act under nose unless they want to bring danger to their home.
Suddenly, another person came out of the grove. This time, it was of the appearance of an older man, dressed not as proper as the others but the clothes were still of lavish materials, hinting that he is from a large clan. Even if he is from such a clan, just by looking at the situation, one would understand his own nature.
Before the woman can react, an arrow shoots through the air towards her, hitting the woman's back. Having just witnessed that, the small child screamed out but got blocked by her niang’s hand over her mouth. The little child’s hands were covered in blood, clothes turning a dark crimson.
“ Where do you want to go, beauty? I have yet to be finished with you, even if you grow wings, you will never escape from me!”
The woman looked at the old man’s face, unable to resist a teasing smile from appearing on her lips, spitting out a disdainful comment. “ Yang Zhucheng, I can not believe you can lower yourself to this extent.”
When the old man heard the scornful comment, his facial expression darken. He originally wanted to bring the woman back to become his consort but changed his mind after the insult. “ Unruly woman! Let laozun* educate you in the stead of your zhangfu*!”
*Laozun (老尊) - old honorable, a term to address oneself in place of I*
*Zhangfu (丈夫) - husband*
Hearing his unbelievable words, the woman glared at him, “ Educate me? You have the capability?”
Taking in the woman’s words, Yang Zhucheng stroked his beard as he replied, “ Why do I not have any capability? What does your clan have that is worthy of the people’s worship? Maybe from following the demonic ways!”
Initially, the woman’s face was snow whitebut after hearing his words, her expression farken several tones. “ Stop talking! You do not have the right to speak ill of my clan!”
“ At least, Zhongjian Yangshi can return to the right path unl–”
Before the old man could finish, the woman was quick to interrupt him, “ Yang Zhucheng, you shameless person!”
“ Clearly a noble woman of great lineage, who’s fame reaches the end of the sky but does not know any better. You see, such a person should die with a non-intact body!”
Hearing those words from the old men, the yatou peaked up from behind her niang, pointing her finger towards him. “ You!”
The old man raises his eyebrows at the yatou’s yelling. His eyes brightened up with disgusting interest as he thought of a way to convince the beauty.
The old man approached them, staring intently at the child as a smile appear on his lips. In a blink, the distance between them shortened immensely. “ Or… I capture your child, command people to spread rumors about how Da Xiaojie* of Honglin Lishi has already followed the demonic ways to strengthen the reputation of her clan despite her young age. And after having enough fun and decided to run away. I’m afraid that this lifetime, the cold will not live peacefully!”
*Da Xiaojie (大小姐) - eldest lady*
As she heard that, the furen* bit her lips enough to draw blood. She hugged the child closer to her body, trying to cover the existence of the child away from the old man. “ Even a child can’t escape from you! You are dressed like an animal*”
*Furen (夫人) - term of address to a married woman*
*Dressed like an animal (衣冠禽兽) - an idiom, describing an immoral and despicable person.*
The child cowered in fear within her niang’s holds, shivering in fear. Her eyes brimmed with liquid yet to fall. “ Niang.”
Suddenly, the woman’s arms relax, no longer holding the child. Li furen stands up while looking at his sickening appearance. “ Li An, run.”
The child shakes her head, hugging her niang’s thigh. “ I’m not going. I’m not going.”
Yang Zhucheng smiles, “ Stupid yatou.”
Li furen pushed Li An away with all her might, eyes glaring at her, wanting her to follow her wishes. “ Gun*”
*Gun (滚) - Get lost, in a rude manner*
Hearing that, Li An can only look up at her, shakingly bringing herself to stand up.
“ Beauty, what do you want to do?”
Seeing the child standing up, Li furen turned back to face Zhu Yangcheng. “ If you want to bring me back, then die with me!” Li furen immediately rushed towards him.
Yang Zhucheng quickly stepped back to dodge, almost getting hit by the branch. After that, he aimed a punch at the bloody wound.
Li An panicked, letting out a scream, “ Niang!”
“ Why are you still here? Gun!”
The old man let out a long sigh, “ Unexpectedly, the infamous Li furen has this kind of ending.” He bent down, fingers petting Li furen’s jade-like face slowly moving towards her smooth black hair. Before he can go elsewhere, something hard yet round hit his head. “ Despicable yatou! Wait for me, beauty. Once I finish dealing with that yatou, I will come back for you.”
Upon hearing that, Li An panicked, body shaking to the extent of dropping the rock. She falls down to the ground miserably as her legs can no longer support her weight. “ Don’t come over here! Don’t come over! Don’t come over!”
Li furen shakingly extend out her hand, “ An…er*.”
*Er (儿) - by adding er behind the name, it becomes a term of endearment, especially for parents to call their kids*
Li An, at the moment, still could not stand up, eyes intensely staring at the possessed-like smile of Yang Zhucheng. “ Don’t come here! I said, don’t come here!”
Yang Zhucheng continues to approach her, lips curling into a horrendous smile, “ I want to see how capable the Da Xiaojie of Honglin Lishi is!”
“ Don’t come over! Don’t come over! AHhh!”
At that point, Li Zhaoyun’s eyes sprung open, body jumping out of bed. She immediately placed her hand over her chest, feeling her heartbeat. Once she had found it, she let out a long exhale before wiping the sweat on her forehead off. Although her entire body is sweating profusely, Li Zhaoyun felt as cold as ice.”
“ Another dream.”
From the age of six, Li Zhaoyun has been dreaming the same exact nightmare of an event she cannot remember. Just as she opens her eyes, her consciousness returning to reality, it was as if she did not just went through a night of being paralized in bed, unable to escape the illusion. Her memory of the nightmare would be forgotten, making her unable to remember anything. Even years later, she was still unable to remember what had happened.
Li Zhaoyun shakily pushed herself out of bed, legs barely able to support her body. Looking around her round, she realized that it was still dark, only being illuminated by a single candle, creating a hazy light. “It’s still choushi*.”
*Choushi (丑时) - two hours period between 1AM and 3 AM*
After changing her robes, Li Zhaoyun reached over the table to grab a long yet slim white fabric with spider lilies, the motif of Honglin Lishi sewn on them and tie it around her hair tightly. After putting on another layer, Li Zhaoyun step out of her room towards Huaji Tai.
Huaji Tai is the place for all of Honglin Lishi’s disciples to cultivate their sword play. Huaji talks about the use of youthful times to focus on cultivation, and not worry about the mortal world. Tai talks about the sword-fights between disciples to increase one’s potential.
Standing in front of the gate, Li Zhaoyun glanced at the sign and smiled. Although it is still dark, Huaji Tai has always calmly welcomed her.
Huaji Tai remains unchangeable four seasons, tirelessly watching over Honglin and Luohua Fort. Truly the only place that survived after the Yi Xian Battle.
She quietly stopped up the familiar steps and directly entered Huaji Tai.
A few years have passed yet this place remains the same.
Suddenly, Li Zhaoyun stopped in her tracks, looking at her surroundings.
Strange, why did I sense a commotion?
However, before Li Zhaoyun can lift up her feet, a servant has come in front of her. “ Li xiaojie, Li Zongzhu* wants to meet you.”
*Zongzhu (宗主) - head of clan*
Hearing that, Li Zhaoyun glanced at her, “ Gumu* wants to meet me?”
*Gumu (姑母) - father’s married sister*
“ Yes.”
“ Why is gumu calling me at this time?”
She continues to stare at the little yatou, making her entire body shiver. “ Nubi* don’t know.”
*Nubi (女婢) - maidservants or female slaves, can be use as a term of address instead of “I” when talking to a person of higher authority*
Li Zhaoyun closes her eyes before opening them, letting out a sigh. “ Good*, wait a bit for me.”
*Hao (好) - Good/ Fine/Alright, can be answered with a similar meaning to Yes, accepting the proposal*
*******
Upon another mountain, a game of go has been abandoned. The pieces, half has already been carefully positioned on the board while the rest has yet to appear, swayed along with the wind. Sitting on each side are two middle aged people who were intently staring at the board. The one who holds the white pieces is a woman, with jade-like skin, hair as dark as the night yet still made people admire her upon hearing her name. She wore a crimson robe.
“ Li Zongzhu, Da Xiaojie is waiting outside.”
Li Yanxia looked at the door and nodded, “ Let her come in.”
“ Yes,” the servant answered before quickly leaving the room.
“ These past two years have gone by in a blink of an eye. Guanyu, how do you think Yun-er is doing?” Li Yanxia looks at the person who’s facing towards the valley, looking at the scenery of Honglin.
“ I am not sure.”
“ Yun-er is the one and only daughter of you, Li Guanyu. How do you not know how she is doing?”
Before he can talk back, the servant reenters. “ Li Zongzhu, Li Da Xiaojie have arrived.”
“ Go.”
“ Yes.”
Before coming here, Li Zhaoyun returned to her room to change into a more proper robe. She stepped into the room before making a bow. “ Li An greets gumu, fuqin*”
*Fuqin (父亲) - father*
Li Yanxia smiled, coming to help her stand up. “ In the two years we haven’t met, Yun-er has matured.” Li Guanyu nods his head, slowly approaching Li Yanxia and Li Zhaoyun. “ Li An thank gumu,” Li Zhaoyun answered before looking in the direction of Li Guanyu. “ Li An greets fuqin.”
Like the last time, Li Guanyu did not answer.
Seeing that, Li Yanxia closed her eyes, letting out a long sigh. “ I won’t interfere with your own matters but today I have called the both of you about political matters, not reconnecting the both of you.”
Recognizing the tense atmosphere, Li Zhaoyun asked, “ Gumu, what have you called Li An today for?”
Back to the topic, Li Yanxia answered, “ Have you ever heard of Qinghe Nieshi?”
Li Zhaoyun furrows her eyebrow, Qinghe Nieshi? Why does this name sound familiar?
While thinking, she mindlessly asked. “ Gumu, are you talking about the central continent’s Qinghe Nieshi?”
Li Yanxia nods her head, “ Yes, the head of Qinghe Nieshi will be visiting Honglin.”
Visiting Honglin? Honglin Lishi, over the years, has not made any contact with those in the central continent so why is this happening?
“ The reason you have called Li An is also related to this matter?”
While Li Yanxia nodded her head, Li Guanyu glanced at her with an unreadable expression.
After hearing it, Li Zhaoyun can’t restrain herself, mindlessly standing there. What do you want Li An to do? “ Gumu, why do the people of Qinghe Nieshi want to come visit Honglin?”
Li Yanxia does not answer, suddenly glance over to look at Li Guanyu. Noticing something out of the ordinary, Li Zhaoyun continues to stare at the two seniors, trying to find any clues. “ Our Honglin Lishi has long not enter the political scene, especially of the central continent’s. However, currently… such a ch–”
Unable to finish, she flinched at Li Guanyu’s glance, putting her head down, not daring to continue speaking. Even though he is also wearing the crimson robes of Honglin Lishi, she feels coldness seeping to her core at his stare.
Seeing Li Zhaoyun’s change in posture, Li Yanxia could only shake her head and continue, “ Yun-er, do you still remember the reason why I let you leave?”
She immediately nods as Li Yanxia changes the topic, “ Yes. Gumu wants Li An to observe the changes outside of Honglin.”
Li Yanxia smiles, “ And…”
Li Zhaoyun glanced up, looking into Li Yanxia’s eyes and gently answered, “ You want Li An…”

Word Count: 2912 words
A/N here is part two, hope its good
Lan Xichen:
You meet on the battle field
fierce corpses surrounded you as you tried to fend them off
this went on until Wuxian "died"
the second the battle was over, you fell to the ground
every bone in your body was hurting
most people disregarded you as they checked the field for people they knew
you didn't have to look around like others, you already knew
you had lost everyone
your parents, your siblings, your whole clan
but you couldn't cry for some reason
then Xichen approaches you, noticing you sitting all alone
every person alive had left the field, so you weren't hard to spot
he didn't say anything, he just sat next to you
and somehow that broke you
you just burst into tears
he's quick to hug you while trying to calm you down
he just hugs you for at least 30 minutes while patting your back softly
when you finished crying, he helped you off the field and towards the medics
you stayed at Cloud Recesses for awhile after all that
you often wandered around aimlessly, receiving looks of pity from others
but Xichen didn't pity you per se
he talked to you and let you rant to him
that's how your relationship blooms
you talk about your past, your clan and its traditions
he didn't know any of it before, your clan was very closed off usually
so hearing all the information was interesting to him
he helps you relive some of those traditions if he can
which makes you fall in love with him just a bit more
and a month later, you both have feelings for each other by then
neither of you admit it
it takes 3 more years before you confess
on accident
with the lovely help of 5 years old's Jingyi and Sizhui
but it leads to a now romantic relationship
and another 2 years you marry
it's only official, no ceremony
only Guangyao and Lan Wangji were there
just to have witnesses
you don't have children for a long time
too many things happens at once
Wangji suddenly turning up with Mo Xuanyu
then everything else
but then you do get pregnant
and then the temple thing happens
luckily, the baby was fine
your child looks like Xichen the most
she had his face and such, only your hair and a slight tan skin
she's sooo spoiled
Xichen spoils her too much
and if Xichen doesn't spoil her once
Sizhui and Jingyi will
because they're basically your kids as well....
she's their princess
she knows this and she'll use it
you have one more child after that
another girl
she looks like you, completely
she, too, gets spoiled
both kids love when you and Xichen braid their hair
because it means that you spend time together
after all, Xichen is very busy at times
so that time they get with their father is precious times
otherwise they're found with your two unofficial children (Sizhui and Jingyi)
because they get to learn about weapons
they love learning swordfighting
beside that they also learned different stuff
your eldest learned twin swords
your youngest chose the long spear
Xichen watches them like a hawk when they practice
afraid like they'd kill each other while sparring
he's the worry kind of father
you just trust the kids to be safe
they're kids, they'll learn
and if they take enough after their father, they'll be fine
Jin Guangyao:
This man...
swears to not fall in love
and then you walk into the room
you're there to bring a message
nothing more nothing less
yet when you enter the room, you just glow
he gets caught staring by Huaisang
who just nudges him softly
he snaps out of his trance, giving you one last glance before focusing back on his task
you stay there for a week, discussing with the sect leader
he quickly figures out who you are
the future sect leader of your clan
and any hope of speaking to you get thrown out of the window
after all, he's still considered a bastard now
but you are kind to everyone, even him
and he knows that you know what he is
yet you genuinely give him a smile when you pass him and you always smile when you talk to each other
he sees you again a few years later
after he moves to the Lanling Jin Clan
you were invited by his father
he doesn't think you'd remember him
you do
you approach him with a bright smile
asking if he was around when you visited the Nie clan
you are super happy when he replies with a yes
he has no clue why
you're honestly just happy meeting someone you somewhat know
and trust
you don't trust the Jin's
even when he's technically one, he's more a Nie in your eyes
he stayed there for a long time after all
so you hang around him mostly during your stay
he doesn't mind too much
he asks about your culture under the pretense of politics
he will hurt anyone who hurts or disrespects you
without you knowing
but you connect the dots after awhile
he knows that you know
surprised when you don't confront him about it
but somehow that makes him like you more
he even forgets about everything he planned when he's with you
but nothing can stray him from his plans
until he's told to marry Qin Su
because apparently she likes him
he doesn't marry her
especially not after finding out the truth (they're half-siblings)
instead he asks if he can marry you
with your permission first though
he's psycho, not a douche
you agree
your parents don't really agree at first
they do later when they see how much you like him
of course it's a big wedding
apparently Qin Su was there as well
neither of you saw her
he was too focused on you
that moment made him feel normal
he couldn't not care about his plans at that point
you looked too beautiful to him at that point, no matter what other whispered
you looked like a goddess in your wedding dress
your hair done to match the headpiece with beautiful braids
when you have your first child, he wants to give up his plans completely
a son who looks like you
especially the hair and face
a year later, his daughter is born
a beautiful girl with his eyes and face, but a slightly tanner skin like you
and right there, Guangyao gives up his whole life purpose
his family is worth too much to risk
(don't know how the story goes on without his participation)
most protective one parent of the bunch, I think
will still kill if you threaten anyone in his family
and you know this
but he's also so caring
will spend so much time with the kids
even if it means neglecting his duties
don't talk to him about that
he will cuss you out
family is more important to him
will do anything for the kids
his daughter wants to braid his hair
because he's the only one without braids in the family
he has bald spots now
does not care
you just laugh every time someone mentions it
because he glares at them like an angry cat
or when other people laugh at the few braids in his hair
they don't look that good (she's 4, so logical)
because their from his daughter
and it is the most precious thing he has
so they can just fuck off
Xue Yang:
you meet when you're children (after the finger incident)
both of you live on the street
you cling to him instantly
he gave you a piece of bread, who wouldn't love that
he is annoyed, but says nothing about it
he thinks you look weird at first
he isn't used to see someone of different race
but he says nothing, of course
you gain him more food for some reason
that's enough for him
but of course, he starts stealing after awhile
you don't agree with it but say nothing
you need to eat after all
as you grow older, you get a bit closer
both of you change a lot
you are the smarts, he's the action at this point
it's a good dynamic
you usually go around as a couple
because saying your friends wasn't received well
so pretending to be a couple is the way to go
and sharing rooms when you stay somewhere isn't that weird since you've been doing that since young age
but even when you were used to it, it felt a bit weird at age 16
you blame it on hormones
but everything just makes you blush
like when he buys a necklace you were eyeing
not steal, but buy
or when he gives you candy from his stash
you should be normal, he always did it before
but it still feels different now
and he stopped thinking you're weird
over the years he learned a lot about you
maybe a bit too much...
it takes both of you awhile to figure it out that you like each other
about 3 months
then you confess on accident
and he's just accepting it
because he feels the same
why else would he do the things he does
friends don't get candy or necklaces from him
you never really marry
he makes you a ring though
one of wood that he had been carving for awhile now
it's very pretty
you don't have kids
he doesn't want to raise kids when he doesn't even have a house
but he does want them in the future
you move and he looks for a place to earn money
you do the same
you work at a small shop
his job is unknown to you
but it brings money in because he comes back and is able to afford a place
you don't know how he paid for anything, but it's a fun place
out of town, but it's a place of your own
you have a child after two years of living in the house
twins
two girls
look identical to you except for their eyes
they have his eyes
(and his glare)
also his personality
little troublemakers
they love spending time with him
when he leaves for his job, they're sad
he makes it up when he comes back
sits with the kids for hours while he's braiding your hair for you
listens to their stories intently
your kids will reenact the whole story
he enjoys watching them
it makes him feel like he does the right thing
because for his family happiness, he will do anything
Xiao Xingchen:
you are a lone cultivator
you travel here and there
just taking every job you can get
people don't really trust you because you look different
but you get the job eventually
but to your "luck", they send others as well
so you're not alone
2 men stand in front of the house you're supposed to be at
one in white, the other in black
the one in white notices you first
you can't help but feel annoyed though
because he was send by the same person you were sent by
they offer to work together with you so you don't return with nothing
you agree
during the fighting, you get injured
some ghouls attacked you while you were distracted
Xingchen is the one who notices first once again
he pulls you from the ghouls and places you in a safe place
you're even more annoyed
because you barely get hurt
yet the one time you work with others, your arm almost gets ripped off
Xingchen is the one to make sure that you're okay after everything
also the one who heals your arm to the best of his abilities
he introduces himself quickly while he wraps your arm with a cloth
you only later realize that said cloth was a piece of his robe
you stay in town for the next to weeks to heal from the wound and the poison
they stay in town as well
Xingchen visits you once or twice every day
you just talk to each other
eventually, he asks if you want to join him
you decline the offer
but your next job comes around
and he's there again
this time without Song Lan though
Song Lan was apparently sick
you didn't ask more
the job ends quickly
you're not injured
he is...
he insists he's fine
he does seem fine later when he yells at the person who hired both of you
and all because of you, in a way
because you were suddenly not paid
because you weren't hurt, how could you have done your job?
you never had someone standing up for you before
your heart beats a bit faster now, everytime you think or see him
you decide to hang around him after the third or fourth coincidental meeting
he doesn't mind the company, he even likes it
it's a bit lonely with Song Lan being sick
and he likes being around you
you have good humor
unlike Son Lang
but of course, he also has a crush on you
which causes you both to be a bit awkward around each other
you work around it eventually
aka you get drunk after a job
and he has to take care of you
you don't remember anything the next day
you don't know how much you drank
nor did you know how you ended up next to Xingchen in the bed
but it does end up in confessions and dating after
you had luck on your side that day
when you finally marry him years later, you are so exited
you don't do an official wedding
and really, your only guest is Song Lan
perks of being a lone group of cultivators
although you loved roaming around, both of you agree to settle down somewhere nonetheless
just so you had a place to return to every time
which became even better when you were suddenly told you were pregnant
specifically a doctor who found you passed out in your hotel room
and apparently you had two kids in your stomach that were causing all the nausea and dizziness
and the rest of the job you're stressed out
because how can you tell your husband???
you tell Song Lan when you return home
because Xingchen isn't back yet
Song Lan straight up tells Xingchen, congratulating the man
Xingchen is a a bit confused, but he has the spirit
when your twins are born, you have one girl and one boy
the girl looks a bit more like him, her skin a bit paler than her brother's
both have full heads of your hair
you've never seen a man so in love
you're kinda envious
but seeing him smiling at his daughter in his arms while you held your boy, made you feel some kind of way
it's the sweetest thing ever
and it makes you fall in love with him once again
he returns that feeling when he sees you with your son
they grow up quickly, something Xingchen doesn't like
it goes too fast for his liking
his son doesn't accept affection anymore and his daughter suddenly likes you more
but she lets him braid her hair
while talking loudly about something she did that day
his kids have him wrapped around their fingers
and your daughter uses this
even when knowing this, Xingchen still complies with her every request
he's a protective father
he knows what's out there and does not want them to see any of it
but deep down he knows he can't stop it
but he'll prevent it for as long as he can
Song Lan:
(this one was the most difficult, sorry if it isn't that good)
you met quite cliché like
he saved your life
of course, you're forever grateful
so you ask for any way to return the favor
he doesn't say anything
which is a bit annoying
so you just make him a lucky charm
it doesn't too good, but it's something
and you're honestly really proud of it
but when you go back to give it to him, he's gone
so you keep it, secretly hoping you'd see him again someday
you do a few days later
and you just shove it in his hands and run off
you're busy
but he definitely remembers you from before
which is the only reason he keeps the charm
meeting the third time, you were walking around the market
he noticed you from afar
he noticed your hair was tied up into a large braid and your clothes were a bit neater than before
he couldn't move his eyes away from you
which ended up in him tripping and almost face planting
this didn't go unnoticed by his friend
Xingchen was quick to see what he had been staring at and could only smile
it was rare for Song Lan to take interest in others
hence why Xingchen decided that you two should talk
he pulled Song Lan along until the two of them stood in front of you
you, of course, recognize them and smile brightly as you ask how they are
Song Lan doesn't talk at first
until Xingchen suddenly walks off
leaving him stranded with you
and he was horrible with directions
so he has to ask you again
you don't mind showing him the way
so you talk on the way back, not telling him that you took a slight detour
you wanted more time with him, no other reason
you two have similar interests
which is why he asks to be friends
you agree
you don't see him for a few weeks
but when he returns, he comes to find you
this routine continues for awhile
you'd see him once every month or so and he'd spent that time with you
somewhere along the way, feelings grow from both sides
and you get together
neither of you really talked about it
it just felt natural, so it happened
this goes on for 3 years
then you somewhat ask for marriage yourself
he wants too and he's thought about it since year one
but he's afraid with his job and all
so he never went there
until you ask
and he feels a bit bad after that
so he proposes
with a ring he had already bought before
he found it pretty and wanted to keep it just in case
guess it came in handy now
small wedding
only your family and Xingchen
your family honestly doesn't like him much
but they're glad that you're happy
and he'll do anything to make them like him
your first and only child is a boy
he looks like Song Lan the most, only a darker tinted skin like you
Song Lan adores his kid so much
although your son somewhat looks emotionless to others, you can see all the emotions in his eyes
he's much like his father in that way
luckily, he got his social cues from you
and he probably has more friends than his father
then again, that's not that difficult
after all, he had two and married one of them
so you are a bit glad that your son's personality is more like you
but your son loves you both a lot
he looks up to Song Lan a lot
because he has a sword, so he's cool
yeah, the standards are pretty low
you weren't cool, cause you had a musical weapon
he quickly learns that this isn't true
Song Lan still teases you when his son chooses him over you for cuddles or such
he also likes the attention it gets him
he shows affection to your son, but in his own way
aka actions over words
he's a dad who brings back stuff from travels to show love
very loving dad
Idol/Actor!Wang Yibo x Idol/Actor!Reader: Drama
A/n: I am crazy about this guy okay. And idc There just arent enough fics about him so I'll fix that😭 (Y/n is a member of a group called Enigma, with Leader Aera, Nix, Flora and Soojin. They're under ✨KQ✨)
Summary: Yibo, the legendary actor from the Chinese drama The Untamed had finally been cast in a Korean Drama. What happens when he meets this recently debuted Idol, and finds them interesting. Will he act on his interest?
----------------------------------------------------
Even before your trainee and pre-debut days you've wanted to become an idol plus actor so when your manager brought you an acting gig you jumped into action. Since then it's been a progressive journey, with your group's performances and comebacks you barely managed, but it made you happy.
"Y/n! Come on, leave the script alone, please just practice one last time before you leave. You can rehearse it more on the way anyway!" You leader Aera called out. You huffed and kept it inside your bag.
"I really need to get this gig okay!" You said and jumped into position for the practice of the b-side track of your next comeback.
Sweaty and out of breath you collapsed on the ground. "Y/nie?" Nix you other group members asked.
"Yes?" You asked to support the upper-half of your body on your elbows.
"Why are you so desperate for this one?" She asked
"I bet one of her favourite actors is in it? Who is it?" Flora asked. You shook your head and said "I really want it okay, One, it's a good role and two it has good screen time".
Well, lets say the auditions wasn't really difficult.
----------------------------------------------------
"Y/N UNNIE!!!! Y/N UNNIE?!" Soojin came running to you, "The Turn Tables! That's your drama right?!! You made the lead supporting?! There's Wang Yibo!" She huffed and spoke, excited and out of breath.
"What?! How did you know?!" You asked.
"Uh, Soompi" she said "Why didn't you tell us!" She groaned. "I wanted to surprise you guys!" You said
"Wait what?" Flora, who was chilling on her side of the bed asked "Aren't you excited?"
"Excited! I feel like I'd throw up not gonna lie" you said.
"Why? Why would you throw up?" A familiar voice said from the door behind Soojin.
"No what are you two menaces doing here?" Flora asked
"Hey I was invited" Yunho protested
"How did you even imagine to do this without me?" Wooyoung said wiggling his eye brows.
The two took a seat on your bed as Soojin walked out and Flora put on some headphones and said "Don't mind me, I'm gonna nap".
You had called Yunho as he's done romantic roles before and this was your first time. So, Wooyoung helped you run the lines as Yunho guided you better.
"Make your eyes a bit big as you say that" he told you and you nodded your head.
All of you were actually trainees together, specially you Wooyoung, Yeosang and Flora were together even before joining KQ at Bighits. From there, being KQ trainees and then KQ Chicás, you all have come a long way.
(a/n: I made up KQ fellas to KQ Chicás)
And here you were standing infront the elevator in the TV station trying to calm your nerves, when your manager said "Y/n, Look sharp"
You looked up to find Wang Yibo and whom you assume to be his manager walking straight towards you. Your primary trance broke as they stood infront of you both and the two managers greeted eachother.
"Hello sunbaenim, I'm Y/n from Enigma" you bowed and said.
"Hello, I'm Wang Yibo" he bowed back and smiled.
"You're doing the role a Yerin? Right?" The manager asked you. You nodded.
"You have many scenes together, get along well okay" he told you both as Yibo passed a small smile.
"Um, I don't know much people around, how's the Director?" He asked
"Ah, she's very nice and chill, as long as you remember your lines" you said and smiled.
"That's good to know. Lets work well" he said bringing up a fist and said "HWAITING!"
To say you were flustered was an understatement, being in front of Yibo itself short circuited your brain plus the conversation, damn. His smile was so much cuter in reality. You felt your heart melting and that wasn't good for you.
This was the start of a budding friendship between you and Yibo, and you looked forward to the schedules. Because it was a crime and action series it took more time to shoot, as you had fights and chases but you liked them.
The day of your 1st fight scene a few of your members and friends came to cheer you. Hence you found a worried Nix and Aera and a very excited Yeosang and Wooyoung.
"Beat some!" Wooyoung cheered as Aera glared at him. After your scene, Nix, Yeosang and Aera went as they had schedules, but Wooyoung decided to stay back as it was an indoor shoot anyway. Yibo and you had a joint fighting scene which led to you both saving the main female protagonist who was taken by the villains you were "fighting".
"Ackh" you fell to the ground as the charecter fake pushed you and you were thrown on Yibo. And the director shouted "cut". But that moment that Yibo held you and your eyes connected, your heart almost jumped out of your chest.
"I saw that" Wooyoung teased
"What?" You asked as your makeup artist ran up to you to touch up and the fx make up artist came to touch up your fake cuts and bruises.
"You know" he said wiggling his eyebrows "Introduce me? Please"
"No!" You said blushing and looking away
"I swear if you don't, I'll post that picture of yours that I took yesterday while you were eating!" He said laughing
"That's blackmail you bitch" you snickered and motioned him to follow you.
"Sunbaenim" you went up to him.
Wooyoung could see from afar how his eyes almost lit up at your sight.
"Yes, Y/n ssi?" He answered
"My friend here wanted to meet you" You said shyly.
"Hello, I'm Wooyoung from Ateez. It's nice to meet you" Woo said bowing.
"Hello, I'm Wang Yibo." He said and they shook hands.
"Huge fan, of your music and acting" he said
"Ah, trust me I also love your music, KQ really has very good artists and music" he complimented and You knew it was meant for you as well and you smiled.
And even though Wooyoung was a catalyst, after that moment you and Yibo spoke more often and in between shoots y'all were generally found chatting. You even introduced your other members to him. The whole cast along with the main female lead Solbin were all sweet to you and you all were like friends. Wooyoung often visited the site and he had quite the friendship with Yibo considering they both were filled with Gremlin energy. The three of you have also been to grab coffees and had lunches together, with Solbin tagging along too at times.
Yibo genuinely enjoyed your company, and your personality made you easier to talk to. You? You loved talking and joking around with him. Currently you were laughing at how he brought out the handkerchief from his coat pocket and was "cleaning" his fake gun. Just what goes on inside his head?
----------------------------------------------------
You were sleeping as you still had time for the next shot, the comeback and shooting was getting to you. But you had to do it, you felt something warm being draped over you. You open your eyes lightly to see Yibo, draping his coat over your sleeping form. His heart dropped seeing you so tired but he knew this is your dream and you've gotta keep going on. He wished he could be beside you for all those times to come. He loved talking to you, he loved the way your eyes lit up when you talk about your passions and your friends.
You were woken up later for your scene, you found Yibo's jacket drapped over you which brought a smile on your face. It smelt like him, his manly smell and cologne. You were informed of the next scene and you winced, it was the scene where your charecter Yerin sees Yibo and the female protagonist kiss and finally decides to move on. You had go watch him kiss. Well even though its acting even the thought pulls your heart strings, after all your celebrity crush is now your actual crush, and who would like to watch there crush kiss someone else.
"Action" the director yelled and the scene rolled, you walked down the corridor and were about to call Suho (Yibo's charecter) but stopped to find them kissing, you knew all this wasn't real, you knew this was acting but you couldn't stop the tears stinging your eyes threatening to fall. The director gave counts "three, two, one" and you kept stepping back with every count and "run" you ran away from there.
"And Cut!" The director shouted. "Very good Y/n!" He said as you lightly wiped your tears.
"You're okay?" you heard Yibo's voice
You nodded your head.
"Ah our poor Y/nie must be so tired" Solbin said "You did good"
"Thank you" you said bowing not being able to meet anybody's eye. But you could not ponder on that thought for long.
Soon the stylist walked up to you with a huge spray bottle and you went "Wow! Whats that for?" You asked.
"this is your last scene for today, the rain scene remember?" She said and you nodded. Yes, today was the day you'd meet the actor who would be Yerim's love interest. You couldn't remember who it was, well guess you'll meet him in the shoot it self.
Once the artificial rain was on, the director started rolling "POSITIONS, ACTION!"
You ran out and walked off looking downwatds as the script said suddenly you collided with someone, "Oh sorry" he said as you looked up to find Cha EunWoo. You kept following the script, and kept looking into his eyes and he looked at yours, the counts were given before the scene proceeded, with his charector Woosik, seemingly helped you get a cab. As soon as the camera got cut you went to greet Eunwoo. "Oppa! Hi" you called.
"Hi Y/nie! You were good" he said
"You aced it too" you said.
You stood there for some time talking to him, about your current activities. Unknown to you both Yibo's eyes were glued at the two of you, watching closely at the way the two of you were talking to each other. He rushed after you as soon as he watch the two of you bid farewell.
The shoot was over for the day, you were about to leave when, you heard "Y/n! Y/n! You have promotions right?"
"Yess Op- gege" you told him. You've always called him after je asked you not to call him 'sunbae'
"Can i come with you?" He asked
"Umm... Ok. It's in this building anyway" you said.
"Yes. And Y/n call me Oppa instead" he said with a smirk. You were left with a flustered face.
----------------------------------------------------
"What's he doing with you?!" Aera asked
"He is not WITH me! He's just here" you debated as the others shook their heads. The crew of the show took over and provided him with a seat, he was with a mask and cap so it wasn't much of a hassle in any way when he entered with your managers and took a seat behind the cameras.
Soon the show started and Yibo's eyes went wide to see the MC. Damn he's everywhere, Yibo thought. To say he was amazed to watch you dance, sing and rap was an understatement. He really loved the hip-hop style your team used instead of general bubble-pop. He actually followed your songs and progresses since before debut but seeing you up close, his bias was something else. And now that he knows you in person he's almost proud of you. However, the way he tightened his fist every time you and Eunwoo interacted, be it during the interview or side glaces and smiles was visible to anyone who was looking and in this case someone was looking. It was true seeing you even look at Eunwoo pulled at his heartstrings, he hated the way Eunwoo looked at you.
"Oppa, Yibo Oppa" You called out as you found him leaving. Yibo stopped in his tracks at the name you called him, his heartbeating fast.
"Can you do a tiktok with me? Our dance challenge?" You asked when turned to look at you. He nodded. The two of you came to the place where most idols shoot their tiktoks. Only for Yibo to find Eunwoo wait there, probably for you. At least you're not doing it alone with Eunwoo. You showed them the steps of your song as your Manager stood there to record it when asked. You showed them the steps as the two followed and after practicing it twice, you shot it. Thanking the two, all three of you went to you're own ways.
The next day you met a chirpy Yibo who told you "I liked dancing with you, can we do it again like hangout and dance and we could grab a coffee. If you're free sometime" he said
"You will have to teach me your Swalla routine then" you said.
"Deal" he said with his signature smirk.
So, you were waiting at the KQ dance studio, you were wearing some loose cargo with a loose top and a cap. Messing with your phone and decided to post a selfie for your fans, putting a cute caption you did that and as if on queue Yibo entered.
"Hey!" He said and sat beside you on the floor.
"Nobody stopped you right?" You asked
"Nope, but your manager said, I'm welcome here" he said and ruffled your hair.
"Ah Hanguang Jun!" You whine
"Oh god! No!" He laughed
"Oh yes!" You said and stood up, followed by Yibo.
He taught you step by step and you caught on to them fast because you're a fast learner and you've watched the video a million times.
"You're good Lady L/n" he said with a smirk and your heart skipped a beat. After an hour of messing around you filmed the end result dance with Yibo.
That was when an idea struck you and you said "Do you remember the choreo to Falling in love?"
"Yeah somewhat" Yibo nodded
"Let's do it" you said propping him up.
You both took a video reference from youtube to recall the steps and practiced the choreo a good few times. When done the two of you popped on the floor, laughing and exhausted.
Watching you dance made him feel some type of way, you looked so adorable in the baggy dress and so beautiful without make up. He felt himself falling for you more and more. He doesn't know what to do? He has not felt this in a long time, this pull and longing, he can't not act on it.
"I love doing this with you" he side glanced at you and said.
"Me too, it's good to dance with someone else other than my members and Ateez. I'm glad it's you" you said and smiled.
That was when Yibo said he had a video choreo he wanted to try.
"Would you be comfortable?" He asked.
"Yeah I am" you said with flushed cheeks. Who wouldn't want to be close to their crush when the said crush wants it himself.
And you obliged, it was your first time with that kind of dance, but the thrill was killing.
You tried to copy, step by step, memorising them and synchronising your moves. You could swear your heart almost leaped out of his chest each time he drew near.
It was the same with Yibo, looking into your eyes for permission, he held you. Somehow, you, right there in his arms felt so good to him, it felt so right. You lost count of how many times you both got lost into each other's eyes and missed beats. But ultimately, you made it.
After filming that and sharing contacts you both decided to get coffee as you were met by a smirking Yeosang and Yunho on the way.
Soojin knew you had an awesome day the moment she found you at the door smiling ear to ear. You told her everything, starting from how you openly fangirled on his acting as Lan Zhan and his pair with Xiao Zhan which made him blush so red. To how you had a moment when dancing so close. How, even having his hands on your waist was so comfortable for you. What she noticed was how you were falling more and more for Wang Yibo.
----------------------------------------------------
"Really? 7 times?" Yibo asked in shock
"Yea. I just love the whole series. You're chemistry and acting was so on point" you said
"Hey hey!" You heard Wooyoung's voice in a sing song.
"Don't you have schedules?" You asked
"Nope, I'm free today, so I came to cheer you" he said making fists.
"I told nobody to come. It's embarrassing!" You whinned
"It's ok Y/n-ah. You'll do great" Yibo said.
"Were you talking about your unhealthy obsession with Untamed?" Wooyoung asked.
"Shut it" you said. Soon Solbin came to join y'all as you were called for a scene. It's the scene you've been dreading, the scene in Woosik's office, the kiss scene.
"Wah not just Eunwoo sunbae even Y/n is so good in acting" Solbin said and got up to get inside when Wooyoung spoke up.
"Acting isn't as difficult for Eunwoo hyung, that's the natural way he looks at Y/n" Wooyoung said, only to find Yibo with gritted teeth.
On the other hand, Eunwoo stood up and pinned Y/n against his desk and they got close, closer too close. And right then Eunwoo closes the gap.
"Y/n, stay stiff" the director kept saying "Soft, soft and hold" and you held Eunwoo's collar pulling him in closer. Tears formed into Yibo's eyes, he knew this was acting but hell, did it hurt. Wooyoung notices his gritted teeth and tightened fist, just as last day.
"Hyung you should tell her" Wooyoung finally said. And Yibo just looked at him confused, but Wooyoung's expression clearly said Yibo's secret crush on you, wasn't a secret at all to him.
"Are you crazy?!" Yibo said,
"So you want someone else to take her away? When you clearly like each other?!" Wooyoung said
"But her career? Media?! Com-" Yibo was rambling at this point
"Hyung we don't have a dating ban. And the rest can slowly be managed" Wooyoung said "I saw how you get upset whenever she's near Eunwoo hyung. But trust me, it's only on his side, Y/n had eyes for you even before she met you, but now, all the way more"
Yibo went silent, he did like you. After a long time he found someone who genuinely made him laugh and he found himself getting drawn to you like a moth to light. He felt this attraction since the very first day the two of you spoke. He needs to try, what if Wooyoung is right? He can't let you go.
He was in the middle of his thoughts, when he heard cheers and your voice thanking everyone. Followed by Wooyoung cat calling and the two of you bickering, which brought a smile to his face.
"Y/n, we need to talk after shoot" he said
You were shocked but nodded.
However, he had to rush to someplace after the shoot and he couldn't tell you. So you two decided to meet in the studio the following free day you had (yes he made his manager change and shift schedules accordingly).
This time you found Yibo waiting for you in your dance studio as soon as you entered he played the song you both practiced last day and he took position. So you did the same without a word and when he pulled you close by the end he said "I like you".
"What" you went into shock.
"I really do, I think I might have even fallen for you in these past months. Watching you near Eunwoo kills me. I love talking to you and knowing your point of view and opinion and stuff. I love how passionate you are and I would love to stand by you as you move forward" he said. You felt tears in the corner of your eyes and you acted on impulse and pulled Yibo by his neck and placed your lips on his. He immediately held your hips tighter and pulled you closer. You parted, in the need of air, as Yibo connected your foreheads and said. "I take that as a yes"
As he pulls you in for more, this time in a deeper kiss as he pull you closer holding you tight against his body. You're his.
"What did you mean by bringing up Eunwoo oppa? You were jealous?" You asked playfully.
"Wouldn't you be?" He asked.
"Oh I was. When you were kissing Solbin, my expressions were real" you said pouting.
"Aww" he cooed kissing your cheek. Gosh, he loved doing that.
Things were easy from then on, but you had each other, your members and Ateez cheered so loud when you told them. It was your plan to gather them saying you wanted to show them something. Yibo and you, performed your routine and ended it with a kiss and Never has anyone heard Wooyoung cheer louder.
The company didn't have a problem if things weren't public. When the drama aired you had fun promoting it with your boyfriend, with solbo, YiY/n, EunY/n even Y/nbin (you and Solbin lol) trending. But it was fun and you both knew that this was the end game.

Poly! Wangxian x Reader (Mordern AU): Let them Talk
Summary: Lan Wangji is a bit emotionally constipated, we all know that. He smiles at nobody but his boyfriend and girlfriend. But, people talk.
A/n: I want this to be soft. UwU
----------------------------------------------------
"I heard he's very cold"
"Have you ever seen him smile?"
"God knows how he's in a relationship? He doesn't even talk"
"I dont understand though why they are with Y/n she's not that special as Wangji and Wuxian"
They gossiped as the three of you passed. You saw Wanyin walking up to you three with Ning.
"Hey boys" you said as you high-fived Ning
"Don't mind them" you heard Wuxian tells Wangji as you smiled.
The truth is yes, Lan Zhan Wangji is very cold indeed, but he has different sides of himself and he filters how much he shows to whom. There's the Wangji that his friends see and there's the Wangji that only Wuxian and Y/n have seen.
He feels free around them, he doesn't feel the need to put up a front and hence he's much more geniune in expressions with them.
----------------------------------------------------
"Yah, Wangji, Eat this" you offered him a cookie as he was reading, he simply opened his mouth and you put it inside. "Me! Me!" Wuxian cheered as you fed him too.
The three of you had a rule of spending the weekends with each other. Saturday you would go out and sunday you would do nothing.
Lying on Wuxian's lap while he played with your hair as the two of you enjoyed Wangji playing the Zither
Or sometime when Wangji would be on the guitar and Wuxian on flute or organ, as you sang your favourite songs, sometimes recording them to show your friends.
Sleeping with Wangji holding Wuxian who in-return would be holding you as neither you nor Wangji can sleep in the middle.
You, taking tips from Yanli to make certain dishes. Wuxian throws compliments at each bite and Wangji eats it with a sweet smile on his face, with a soft "It's really good babe".
Imagine this, Wuxian is out with your friends, you stayed back as you had an assignment and Wangji stayed so that you're not left alone (Xian didn't want to go too, you simply coaxed him to go enjoy). So you're working in your own anad Wangji is reading a book. He'll just randomly come sit by you and make a (ㅇㅅㅇ) face and you and Xian know what it means. So you put down the pen and turn and engulf the baby bear in a hug as he sighs in relief and leans into you. Yes Wangji needs hugs from time to time too.
So whoever says Wangji is cold can fuck themselves. Let them talk.

What their drunk confessions would be like(Pt1)
A/N: Yay my first writinggggg! I’m thinking of making this into a series, with all my fave characters. Hope you like it!
Lan Xichen:
It was an accident; he didn’t purposefully get drunk like some of the others
It was after a hard week as sect leader, what with Wangji acting like a teenager and the constant harping of his uncle, he decided that he’d had enough
So, he decided to have a one drink, but one turned into two, which turned into three, until even with the strength of his golden core, he couldn’t filter it all
Then you came into his room
Now he’d known you for quite some time, with you being an inner disciple of the Lan sect
You’d come to bring him random news of comings and goings around Gusu
He had harboured more than friendly feelings for you for a while now
And so did you
But you never made a move since, you know, he was your sect leader and all
And he’d never made a move because he was in turns too shy and too afraid you only saw him as your sect leader
But now, in his drunk state, he could feel all the emotion rising up within him
You could see that he was drunk by the redness of his cheeks, but you said nothing because he was your sect leader
So you decided to just tell him the news and then leave
But as you turned to leave he asked you if you wanted a drink
And as we all know alcohol is prohibited in cloud recesses
But you said yes anyways
So he poured you a drink and you drank with him
When you put your cup down, you saw him staring intently at you, cheeks very red
“Y/N…” He whispered gently leaning towards you gently
As if to kiss you
But you knew better (or you though you did)
So you leaned away
After all, he was drunk, and taking advantage of that would be very un-Lan of you
So you got up to leave
But he got up too
“Y/N… There is something I have to tell you…”
He stood right in front of you and reached out to grasp your hands
“For a long time, I’ve been enamored by your presence. You are so kind and beautiful, and I have found myself to have fallen for you. It would make me very happy if you… reciprocated my feelings…” He whispered softly, looking deeply into your eyes
And for a moment, you wanted too to spill your heart out to him as well
But then you remembered that he was drunk
And the illusion shattered around you
You took your hands out of his grasp, failing to notice the look of heartbreak on his face at your actions
“Sect leader, you are drunk, you do not know what you are saying. You must rest well tonight. Sleep well”
You bowed gently and exited
Such a moment was too good to be true, you knew, but you would cherish it forever
Or so you thought
But back in the sect leader’s quarters, Lan Xichen was on the verge of tears
In his drunken state, he believed he’d just been rejected, and his heart was heavy with sadness
But he headed your words and lay in bed, sadness lulling him to sleep
The next morning, he still remembered what had happened
Such was the curse of Lan Xichen
Needless to say, he was very embarrassed (Not to mention heart broken)
He immediately went to apologize to you
“S-sect leader… Is there something I can help you with?”
“I have come to apologize for last night. I am sorry if I put you in an uncomfortable position. Such was never my intention” He said with a polite bow
“Its alright. We all say things we don’t mean when drunk”
Things he didn’t mean?
But he’d meant it all…
He’d already gotten this far, so he decided to go all the way
“I meant what I said.”
He had to set the record straight, or he wouldn’t sleep well
“E-everything? Even the stuff about l-love? And me?”
You couldn’t believe your ears
But there he was, the perfect, kind, gentle sect leader of lan was standing before you, looking embarrassed, confessing his feelings to you
Again
“Yes. I understand if you don’t feel the same way, but I needed to clear up the events of last night. I will stop bothering you now.” He said with one of his signature gentle smiles
But it was twinged with sadness
“Wait”
He turned around with something unmistakably similar to hope written on his face
“I-I feel the same. I just thought, because you were drunk… I dint want to take advantage of you. But if that is how you actually feel, um, I do too.”
You looked up at him, face feeling very hot, and palms very sweaty
But when you saw the look of pure happiness on his face, you knew that you’d done the right thing
Thank you for reading!
What their drunk confessions would be like(PT2)
A/N: Second part! Hope you like!
Jiang Cheng:
Unlike Lan Xichen, Jiang Cheng would be drunk on purpose.
Knowing this grumpy sect leader, it would just be because he’d had an exceptionally hard day
Jin Ling had thrown a fit, the sect was hard to lead and he was generally in a bad mood
As always
When Jiang Cheng got drunk, he would either become even angrier or kinda sad
Today he was the latter
He started reminiscing on times he’d spent surrounded by his loved ones, by Wei Wuxian and Jiang Yanli, with his parents
And then he thought of how twisted and old he’d become, so weighed down by pain
Deep down through all that sadness, he really just wanted to feel loved again
And then there was you
He’d met you in cloud recesses when they’d gone for lectures
You were one of the top disciples of the C/N clan
He’d admired you from afar as you’d become great friends with his sister
You’d eaten dinner with them, and spent most of your time at the lectures with Yanli
She would always say that you were like a sister to her
So it would only make sense that you stuck with her through sunshot campaign
And her marriage
And her death
She made you Jin Ling’s godmother
Which meant that you stuck with Jiang Cheng when he took Jin Ling to Lotus Pier
He tried to make you leave many times, since you were a sore reminder of his sister
But you knew he needed you
I mean, this is Jiang Cheng
How is he gonna raise a kid on his own?
And so over the years you’d grown a bond
And he’d fallen in love with you
After all, you were the only one still by his side
The only one who showed care to him
He needed to talk to you, he decided
So he left his office to find you
He asked many servants where you were before finally finding you
You were exiting Jin Ling’s quarters after having put him to bed
Jiang Cheng bumped right into you as you were gently trying to close the door, causing you to slam it
You whirled around in surprise and was about to scold him, until you saw the tears on his cheeks
You were about to ask him what was wrong, but before you could say anything he had you pinned against the wall
And his lips where on yours, sloppily kissing you
You could taste the liquor on this breath, but you were to caught in the kiss to really notice
He broke away first
“Y/N…” he whispered, leaning down to wrap his arms around you, in a sort of hug
But because he was so tall, he kinda crushed you against the wall
It was uncomfortable, but you hugged him back
“A-Cheng,” You whispered, confused and slightly worried
Clan Leader Jiang was not known to cry very often, if at all, so your worry was justified
“Are you alright?”
“Y/N,” He said, so low you barely heard it, from right next to him
“I l-love y-you…”
And then he passed out
Leaving you to carry him to his room
It took you forever, but you finally got him in the bed, and tucked him in
And then you sat next to him, to process this new information
He loved you?
Could it be possible? You’d always felt like you were closer than just friends, but you’d always thought the feeling was one sided
And maybe it was just the alcohol talking
You decided to wait until tomorrow, and if he remembered, then you would confront him about it
The next morning you got up early to check up on him
You knew how wicked hangovers could be, so you made him tea and brought it to his office
And just as you supposed, he had a terrible headache and was in an exceptionally bad mood
But as soon as he saw you, he went silent, sparing the disciple he’d angrily been shouting at
You dismissed said disciple as you put the tea on his desk
Then you chanced to look at him
His face was very red as he avoided your gaze
He clearly remembered
Which was good, because so did you
“A-Cheng, we need to talk”
His head snapped up to look at you
He looked afraid, and very embarrassed
He looked away
“What you told me yesterday. Did you mean it?”
He looked back at you annoyingly
“I dont know what you are talking about. I was drunk.”
For all the years you’d know him, Jiang Cheng had never been a good liar
“A-Cheng… Did you mean it? Please I really must know.”
You sounded more desperate than you wanted too, but you just wanted to know
“yes…”
It was no more than a whisper, but it was all you needed
You closed the distance between you and kissed him passionately on the lips
He was surprised at first, but quickly reciprocated, kissing you back with as much passion as last night
When you pulled apart, you couldn’t help but laugh at him, face as red as a tomato and looking as shocked as you’d ever seen him look
Thank you for reading!
What their drunk confessions are like (Pt3)
A/N: I cant seem to write Huaisang with a good ending I don't know whyyyyy... But here you go!
Nie Huaisang:
As we all know Huaisang is somewhat a complicated character
I think that he got drunk for fun
Without thinking about the repercussions that could have
He’d just gone out for drinks with his bff Wei Wuxian in Qinhe and got drunk
You were someone quite special to him, although no one else knew about you
You had been his maid since he was very young, maybe ten or eleven
You were only slightly older, almost the same age as him
You came into the service of the Nie clan a bit after the death of his parents, so it was a really had time for both him and his brother
You had also just lost your parents, but since you didn’t belong to any clans and had no one to take care of you, it was either this or the whorehouse
And there was no way you were going there
So you became a maid
You were really good at cleaning and cooking as well as a special skill in braiding
So the head maid put you in charge of the young master
The headshaker, the one and only Nie Huaisang
You were really nervous to be directly serving a Young Master, because that job was much more difficult than simply being a maid
You had to bring him his food, braid his hair every morning and take it out every night, and accompany him when he went certain places
And since you’d only really had contact with Nie Mingjue before, you were afraid of what the young masters temper would be like
So you were really surprised when you finally met him
He was gentle, kind and terribly shy
And so you became quick friends
You were his only friend what with his brother having to lead a sect and the others scorning him for his lack of talent on the battle field
But you’d always been there for him, by his side
You knew the real Huaisang, the one who liked painting fans and being artistic
The sweet kind little boy who was terrified of his brother
And that’s why he loved you
He never had to hide anything from you, since you knew almost everything about him (this would change rly soon but let’s not focus on that)
He’d gone down to the village for drinks without telling anyone, so when he returned, you were right there waiting for him, worried as hell, with Mingjue by your side
“Young Master!” You called as soon as he entered your view
You could feel his brother seething next to you
He always scared you, but protecting Huaisang was your job, especially since Meng Yao had been sent away
He walked up to the two of you and it was obvious that he was drunk out of his mind
“Y-Y/N, D-Dage. How are you d-doing tonight?” He slurred, barely able to pronounce words
“Where were you?!” Mingjue yelled, startling both you and Huaisang
“I went to drink with Wei W-wuxian. You should have come Ah- Y/N it was so fun. You too Dage. You need to have fun sometimes” He answered, gently slapping his brother’s chest and sending you a flirty look
Nie Mingje was seething
“Ah-Y/N. Take Huaisang to his room and send him to bed. I will deal with him tomorrow.” He said before angrily huffing away
Crisis adverted for now
Now all that you had to do was carry your drunk master through several flights of stairs, without him helping you in the slightest
Every so often he would mutter something incoherent, but nothing you were able to understand
At the top of the fourth flight of stairs however, your arms felt like they were gonna fall off and you leaned him against a wall to take a break
But he got up immediately, and walked over to where you were panting to regain your breath
“Ah-Y/NNNNNNN,” he whined “Why did you let go of meeeee”
He then leaned against you and toppled the two of you onto the floor, where he lay on top of you
From under him you could hear him mumbling things again although you could hear them now
“You are so pretty Ah-Y/N. Do you know that? Your hair is so pretty and you smell so good and your eyes are so pretty and you are so soft…”
You were now very embarrassed, face very warm and pulse rushing
“Young master, you must get up…” You begged softly, although you never wanted this moment to end
You’d always thought that he was way out of your league because of his status, but hearing him say things like this…
You could almost see it
Almost
“Ah-Y/N, I wanna stay with you forever…”
But no
His brother would never allow it
So with all the remaining effort you had, you pushed him off and ignored his protests as you dragged him to his room
You quickly undid his braids and tucked him in bed
He fell asleep almost immediately
You knew he would have a hard time tomorrow, and you would do your best to save him from his brother
As you walked back to your room however, you couldn’t help but think of what he’d said
Had he meant it?
No… You couldn’t let yourself think like that
Even if he had, it didn’t matter
He was your master and you his maid
And It would always remain like that
Thank you for reading!
What their drunk confessions are like (Pt4)
A/N: Pt 4! I am in love with XXC. Its just a fact. So I hope I did him justice! Enjoy!(Also its pretty long sorry)
Xiao XingChen:
This one is very different from the others
We all know Xiao XingChen is an angel so he probably thought he could drink a lot without getting drunk
But he was wrong
So now he’s drunk
And Xiao XingChen is 100% a giggly drunk
You were travelling with him and Song Lan
Song Lan had (Unwisely) left the two of you alone at the inn you were staying at, while he went to buy something
And XingChen wanted to have a drink with you
Now you were also a travelling cultivator who’d once belonged to a sect but had left
You shared the same ideals as the two men so they’d invited you to doing their expeditions
And you had
So you were now very close to both of them
But you and XingChen were slightly closer
Because he was in love with you
And (Surprise!) you were in love with him too
But you’d never said anything because he was so sweet and you didn't wanna ruin it
And now he was drunk and Song Lan would probably blame you
You had tried to stop him!
But he’d been able to convince you that he could take it
And now he was drunk as was practically laying on top of you
He wouldn't stop giggling and acting like a child
“Ah-Y/N!” He said between giggles
“Your hair is so prettyyyyyy”
Que more boyish giggles
“Look! Your face is all red! Are you drunk Ah-Y/N?”
His face was now so close to yours and you were getting stares from the other people in the inn
You decided to get your drunk friend out of there
“Come Ah-Chen, lets go to our rooms”
He didn't protest, but he clung to you as you dragged him up all the while giggling and poking at your hair and cheeks, uttering words between giggles
When you finally got the the rooms, you sat him on his bed and gave him some water
After drinking it he sat quietly for a but before getting up awkwardly to go sit next to you on your bed
Once comfortably seated, he leaned towards you and
“Ah-Y/N... D-do you like Zichen?”
You were slightly bewildered, but you didn't do anything about it, choosing to answer his question simply
“Of course. Both you and Zichen are my greatest friends.”
His boyish grin was back as he giggled again
“I’m more than just your friend Ah-Y/NNNNNNN! I love youuuuuuu! Do you love me too Ah-Y/N?”
Even in such a drunk state, he was so cute
And for the life of you you couldn’t tell if he was being serious
“O-of c-course Ah-Chen...”
The look on his face was priceless
“Really?” He practically yelled before crushing you in a hug, burying his face in your hair and muttering sweet things to you
You just lay there, trying to process what had just happened
Had all that been real or was it just a side effect of the drinks?
Just then, Song Lan returned from his shopping
The look on his face said it all as he stared at you
“What happened?” He muttered putting down what he’d bought
Xiao XingChen was off you in a heartbeat, a huge smile on his face and rosy cheeks as he told Song Lan what had happened
“Ah-Y/N said she is in love with me!”
Song Lan looked at you surprisedly before grinning at you
It wasn't often that you could see Song Lan grin
You felt really embarrassed
“I love her and she loves me too! Isn't that great Zichen?”
Song Lan nodded gently at the drunk man before gently ushering him into bed, you trying to calm your beating heart the entire time
Until
“Ah-Y/N! Come sleep with meeee!”
Seeing the look on your face, Song Lan couldn't stop laughing
Thank you for reading!
What their drunk confessions are like (Pt5)
A/N: Part 5 yay! Hope you enjoy!
Lan SizHui:
Just like XXC, Lan Sizhui is an angel
So he also probably didn't get drunk on purpose
And even when he was drunk, you probably couldn't even tell
It was one warm night in Gusu
After a long harrowing night hunt with the juniors, everyone had decided to stay one night in Gusu to recuperate
So to celebrate the end of the night hunt, the juniors decided to have drinks (even though it is illegal in cloud recesses, Jingyi was able to convince sizhui)
You were a junior as well, from the C/N clan
You were really close with the junior quartet (yes, Zizhen too give my boy some love), having befriended them during the many inter clan night hunts
You were closest with Zizhen and Jingyi, since all three of you were closest since you shared the same sense of humour and all enjoyed playing around the most
SizHui and Jin Ling were slightly more of a mystery to you
Jin Ling was just kinda bratty, and although you two were close friends, you also argued a lot
And SizHui generally didn't speak to you
Not because he didn't like you, no, it was because he liked you a little too much
He had a huge crush on you
And so, he never really knew how to approach you, let alone ask you to court him
So being drunk was the perfect excuse
The five of you had gotten some emperors smile and were now drinking it in a common room you had rented
And now you were surrounded by four drunk boys
Jin Ling and Jingyi were definitely very drunk, arguing over some pointless thing
Zizhen was in a corner, crying his eyes out (he was 100% drunk as well)
And Sizhui sat next to you, downing his fifth of sixth cup, nothing but slight red cheeks to show his drunkenness
You had only had a single cup, since you didn't really like the taste
Whenever you and Sizhui were alone together, you would generally be in comfortable silence
Now that he was drunk however...
“Ah-Y/N,” he started, soft and gentle voice slightly wavering, “We are friends aren't we?”
You looked at him puzzledly, before nodding
“Well, I-”
Whatever he’d been about to say was cut off by a loud Jingyi, as he sat down right between the two of you, effectively separating you
Then he turned to Sizhui and said
“Are you finally gonna ask her to court you?” Then with a huge shit eating grin he added
“Zizhen, Jin Ling! Sizhui is asking Ah-Y/N to court him!”
Jin Ling turned to them, but made no move to come over
Zizhen however immediately smiled and came over to where you were sitting
“Really? I knew you wanted to Sizhui, but I never thought you’d do it so soon!” he exclaimed, coming to sit with them as well
By now Sizhui’s face had reddened so much he practically looked like a tomato
You tried to catch his eye but he seemed to be doing everything in his power to not look at you
He was really embarrassed and although he had been meaning to ask you, this was not how he had meant to go by it
“Well? Are you gonna ask her or not?” Zizhen mumbled, clearly impatient
Sizhui looked like he was about to implode
You knew you had to do something to save your poor friend
And so you did
“If Sizhui wants to ask me something, he can do it whenever he wants to. Stop pressuring him”
You could see Sizhui relax, even if it was only a bit
Jingyi and Zizhen however in turns annoyed and let down
“Fine then... Come on Zizhen.” Jingyi muttered, getting up along with Zizhen and going to whisper to each other on the far end of the room
Which left you and Sizhui alone
The comfortable silence that you had was now long gone
Somehow, Sizhui was the first to break the silence
“I’m sorry I put you in an uncomfortable position...” he said softy, almost a whisper
“Nonono! It’s okay!” You you scrambled to say, tripping over your words in a rush to get them out
Only then did he truly look at you, and you could see something a little but like hope in his eyes
“Was Jingyi telling the truth or...” you muttered, unsure if you should continue the topic
Sizhui looked away, blushing more now, but he managed to nod all the same
And that was all the confirmation you needed
Since he wasn't looking at you however, you had to grab his hand to get his attention
“I would like that. To, um, c-court y-you i mean. I would like that a lot...” You mumbled
Now it was your turn to blush
But the smile that appeared on his face after he’d understood what you’d said was so bright that you almost entirely forgot your embarrassment
You just looked at each other, sharing a tender moment, until
“FINALLY!”
Jingyi and Zizhen (and even Jin Ling) congratulated you on your courtship for the next hour, until they all passed out from drunkenness, and you and Sizhui were finally able to share your first kiss
Thank you for reading!
Hey you think you can write Jin ling and lan sizhui for first date and at the end when they are about to kiss her she beats them to it ??
A/N: Omg I love this ideaaaa! I truly hope I did it justice. Enjoy!
Lan Sizhui:
So with Sizhui, your first date was a small picnic in the backwoods of Cloud recesses
He had finally had the courage to ask you out, and had been ecstatic when you’d said yes
You were one of his best friends since childhood, and he’d known you for as long as he could remember
You were also a Lan Clan disciple, although your personality was somewhat closer to Jingyi’s, since you always had a slight disregard for the rules
So although picnics in Cloud Recesses weren't technically allowed, the two of you had decided to anyways
Sizhui had prepared everything
Since it was his first date ever, he’d wanted everything to be absolutely prefect for you
He had prepared a nice place for you to sit (coincidentally close to his father’s rabbits, so that the two of you could play with them), a nice basket full of food (and I mean good food, none of that cloud recesses tasteless slop), and a blanket for you if ever you were to get cold
Although he was nervous, he didn't let it show
When you finally arrived, he was very exited
He tripped over a few words and was blushing quite a bit, but other than that everything ran smoothly
Needless to say, he was quite proud
Then as the date came to a close, it was time for what Sizhui had been dreading (and looking forward too at the same time)
It was time for his first kiss
He was really nervous since it was his first time
And what if it wasn't yours?
What if you had more experience than him, and noticed that he was a bad kisser?
He would be so embarrassed!
But he really wanted to kiss you...
The time went by too quickly, and you had already finished packing by the time this train of thought was still ripe in his mind
“I really enjoyed this” You said, gently turning towards him, standing only inches away
You looked so pretty, and he really wanted to just kiss you...
His mind was racing trying to decide what to do
You on the other hand could see how nervous he was
And it didn't take a genius to realize why
So you decided to help him
You stepped closer to him and gripped his hands gently as you placed a short (albeit sweet) kiss on his lips
Then you quickly pulled away to wait for his reaction
If he’d been blushing before, it couldn't compare to how red he was now
But after a wile he smiled brightly, before grabbing your hands and kissing you again
This time though, the kiss was longer and all the more tender than the last
And even when it was done, you held hands all the way back to the dormitories
Jin Ling
Your first date with Jin Ling was a bit different
Since he’s a “real man” romance and affection are out of the question (right jiujiu?)
But when he falls for you he knows he has to do something about it
So he sorta kinda invites you to go shopping with him in Lanling
Although he’s really offhanded about it, you know how sincere he is deep down
So you say yes
And ofc he acts really non nonchalant about it, like of course you would want to go shopping with him, he’s the best
But inside he’s really excited that you’ve accepted
So he hatches an entire plan of action to get him to fall in love with him
First you guys just wander around the market for a bit
Looking at the wares, and occasionally stealing loving glances at each other,
Although neither of you ever catch the other looking
Then you guys head to your favourite restaurant for lunch, which is entirely covered by him
During lunch he’s unnaturally nice, doing his best to make you laugh and smile
Although you noticed his change in demeanour, you didn’t say anything and simply chose to enjoy his presence
After lunch, you returned to the market
You browsed a little more before walking back to carp tower
By then it was already dusk
So the two of you went to sit in the pavilion where Jin Zixuan had planted lotuses for Jiang Yanli
This was where his plan would end with the grand finale
A kiss
He was very nervous for this moment
He’d never kissed anyone before
What if he messed up and made a fool of himself?
You on the other hand had had the most amazing day
You’d never seen Jin Ling be so sweet to anyone, and you knew with all your heart that all his gestures today had been genuine
And you wanted to repay him
So you gently took his hand
When he looked at you he looked quite nervous, but you didn't take any notice
Instead you leaned in and quickly stole a kiss
It didn't last very long but it was sweet
His lips tasted of candy and although he was surprised at first, he quickly reciprocated, kissing you back
When you pulled away he was very red, and quickly looked away, embarrassed
But you weren't done yet
“Ah-Ling...”
He looked at you
“Thank you...”
You giggled at the flustered look on his face
He was really sweet when he wanted to be, you decided
“We should do this again”
No amount of embarrassment could hide the happiness on his face as you said that
Physical affection with them (Pt1)
A/N: I really wanted to do this lol. Enjoy
Jiang Cheng:
When it comes to physical affection or any affection at all, you’re in for a ride
This grumpy sect leader is in need of affection but good luck trying to give him some
He will do everything in his power to run away from your love
Not because he doesn't want it, actually because he doesn't know how to react to it
Hes never really been given much love so just doesn't know what to do
But you know very well what he needs
So as much s he likes to escape, you don't let him
When it comes to being in public he “allows” little things like hand holding and maybe small kisses on cheeks
He never knows how to reciprocate, but he turns incredibly red when you show him an ounce of genuine affection
If the two of you are out on a nighthunt or in the market and you go to grab his hand, he will instantly blush and give you a look, but he wont pull his hand away
If anything, he’ll actually hold your hand tightly and won’t let go till the end of said trip
When it comes to being in private, like cuddling in bed, he will never initiate it, although he will show you what he wants
He will “subtly” nudge you while you’re in bed, but will never actually wrap his arms around you
He knows that you’ll always turn over and snuggle into his chest when he nudges you, and he thinks that you don't know how much he likes it
But you do
And it makes you very happy to see him blush
His kisses (those initiated by him) are few and far between generally saved for a special occasion like anniversaries, birthdays and long separations
But when he does initiate it, his kisses are surprisingly passionate
He will always grip your hands of your waist when he kisses you and will always drag it out, acting surprisingly sheepish when its done
He loves when you kiss him
Because of how gentle you are when you do
He loves when you gently gently run your hands up his chest and when you softly cup his face when you lean in to kiss him
It makes him feel so loved and cherished
Something he doesn't feel very often
He also loves it when you hug him
Just the feeling of yours arms wrapped around him and the warmth of your body make him so happy
He will occasionally wrap and arm around your waist
Especially when he’s jealous
Which happens quite often
(Especially around Wei Wuxian)
No matter who you are or where you come from, Jiang Cheng will always be worried that you will fall for his elder brother
Since Wei Wuxian is very flirty, when the two of you meet, he almost immediately starts his teasing
And because of how charismatic he is, the two of you definitely become quick friends
Which pisses off Jiang Cheng to the furthest extreme
And so, whenever the three of you are in the same room, Jiang Cheng is all over you
He goes from 0 affection to 100% love, arm around your waist, practically stuck to you
He would even go to lengths such as hand holding and even the occasional hug
Unfortunately for him however, Wei Wuxian notices this and makes fun of him for becoming soft
Which would promptly make him let go of you entirely
Needless to say, Jiang Cheng is a softie who needs love, but he tries rly hard to hide it
But don't be fooled by this grumpy grape, Jiang Cheng 100% needs love and it must be given to him promptly

Hi! Hope you’re well 😊 Would you be able to write drunk confessions for lan jingyi and/or jin ling? I really enjoyed the other ones you wrote!
A/N: I hope your doing well too! I love writing these, and I hope you like it! (Also imma do Jin Ling, but in a separate thing maybe later :))
What their drunk confessions are like (Pt 6)
Lan Jingyi:
So as we all know, although he’s not a very Lan-Lan, Jingyi is still, well, a Lan
Which means he has 0 alcohol tolerance
But he still agreed to a drinking competition vs Jin Ling during your stay in Yunmeng
The juniors were staying in Yunmeng while their seniors were at a cultivation conference
You were from the (C/N) clan, and you were really close to all the juniors
Jingyi in particular
The two of you were the troublemakers of the group
Whenever you were in Gusu, you helped him with whatever schemes he had planed, to the great annoyance of Sizhui
Sometimes you even get Zizhen in on it
After having known each other most of your lives, you’d (ofc) fallen in love with him
But you’d just stayed friends, and you’d decided that pining was the best course of action
Little did you know that you occupied Jingyi’s thoughts all the time
Especially now that he’s drunk
He was still sober enough to know that he’d lost the drinking competition to Jin Ling
Which was very embarrassing since you were sitting right there and had witnessed the whole thing
It wasn't much of a loss however since Jin Ling had gotten drunk as well
Sizhui and ZIzhen had gone to bed an hour ago, so the three of you were the only ones still in the dining hall
Until Jin Ling passed out
Then it was only the two of you
“Jingyi,” you whispered, “We should go to bed...”
His mind was so foggy that it took him a while to understand
He was much too focused on you, your face, your hair, your eyes, your lips...
Smirking he answered
“Together?”
You knew he knew what he was saying
And it made you so flustered
“N-no!” you managed to stutter
Which made Jingyi laugh
Which then made you laugh
The sound of your laugh made him so happy
After all he was the one who made you laugh
And he wanted to be the only one it make you laugh like that
Before he knew what was doing, he’d grabbed your hand
And clumsily pulled you closer to him
You lost your balance though and ended up on him
It felt so nice to have you so close to him
He would stay like this forever if he had the choice
But sadly as soon as you regained your bearing you quickly scrambled off him, muttering incoherent sorry’s
You failed to notice his disgruntled look
And the glimmer of determination in his eyes
He grabbed your hand again, except this time no one fell
Jingyi never thought twice about anything, and now was no exception
“Court me.”
He’d never been particularly good with words either
Even though he was drunk, something told you that he meant it
Your silence was killing him
He didn't think that this would be such a bad idea
He’d rather be in a room full of ghosts that wanted his soul than have you say no
But you weren't speaking, so he pulled his hand away
His entire expression had changed
He was no longer determined or laughing
He felt sad and just wanted to sleep
But as he got up, he accidentally tripped and fell on top of you, leaving the two of you in a very promiscuous position
He just lay there above you, held up by his hands, and curtains or his hair falling into your face
“Jingyi...”
The sorrow you saw in your best friend’s eyes was enough to let you know how much he meant this
“You didn't wait for my answer...”
He just stayed on top of you, motionless, anxious
You giggled at his expression
He looked like such a lost puppy!
“Of course Ill court you!”
His smile was brighter than the sun
Then he feverishly pressed his lips to yours
His breath tasted of liquor and his scent surrounded you from all sides
To say the least it was intoxicating
You almost forgot where you were until,
“WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING?!?”
Jin Ling’s dishevel form stood barely visible in the doorway
You and Jingyi couldn't help but laugh
That is, until Lan Qiren returned
How about jiang Cheng and lan xichen with a lover who lost her memory in a night hunt accident and she forgets who they are but she eventually remembers everything ???
A/N: Oooooo I love this ideaaa! I hope I did it justice! Enjoy!
Jiang Cheng:
Jiang Cheng had met you during the could recesses lectures
You were from the Y/C and although you weren't their top disciple, you were still greatly skilled
You first drew his attention when you spoke up in front of Wen Chao
You’d been the only one
After that, you and Jiang Yanli were almost inseparable
Which meant you spent most of your time with them
And he fell in love with you
Fast forward to after Sun Shot
Due to your great friendship, you joined Jiang Yanli when she married into the Jin clan, by becoming a Jin disciple
When she passed however, you and Jiang Cheng were left as Jin Ling’s guardians
And so for the sake of simplicity, you joined the Jiang Clan
After that, you and Jiang Cheng spent loads of time together
And his old feelings rekindled
Then one night, Jiang Cheng (Awkwardly) confessed his love for you and the two of you (secretly) started courting
Although he was very busy, he still made time for you and he even found himself being kind and less angry thanks to your guidance
As a Jiang disciple it was your job to go on nighthunts, but Jiang Cheng (not so subtly) always made sure he was there when you did
But one day the aid of the Jiang sect had been requested to aid with some water ghosts close to Yunmeng
Jin Ling requested that he be allowed to go for practice and you and Jiang Chen had agreed
Once you got there however you quickly noticed that the threat was much worse than you had previous assumed
You all fought valiantly but quickly started to be overpowered by the demons
Jiang Cheng was so focused on protecting himself and Jin Ling that he didn't notice when you got dragged under
Luckily, the Lan clan who had been visiting came to help and the issue was quickly resolved
You were rescued by the Lan disciples and although you were unconscious, you where still breathing
Relief coursed through Jiang Cheng until he noticed something much worse
Almost 25 years ago
Every tender memory shared with him was gone
Every moment, stolen kiss, passionate love making session, everything
He was heartbroken
And he blamed Jin Ling
After all, if Jin Ling hadn’t been there, he would have been able to protect you
You on the hand were trying to understand why your good friend wast speaking to you
Also why was this fifteen year old boy calling you his aunt?
Wasn’t he Jin Clan? Maybe Zixuan’s brother of something?
And where was Yanli?
“Lady Y/N! Are you alright! Do you remember anything?” asked one of the Jiang disciples
“Are we still in Gusu?”
The worry on everyone's face was evident
“Get the sect leader...” one of the disciples closest to you whispered
Then it dawned on you
“What year are we in?”
The answer was enough to confirm you suspicions
Then the disciple returned, followed by Jiang Cheng
It was obvious now
He was taller than you remembered and much more intimidating, not to mention a lot angrier
He slowly made his way to you and glared at everyone around you until they gave you space
Then, softly, he spoke
“Ah-Y/N... Are-Do you remember me?”
You could feel that you were missing a big part of the story but you nodded anyways
He let out a small breath
“What do you remember?”
“Not much... My last memory is of the Lan lectures”
His eyes widened in horror
“T-thats all!”
You nodded again
He quickly got up, an implacable emotion in his eyes, and started to leave
“Wait!”
He paused
“Where’s Yanli?”
The question struck him like a ton of bricks
How could he tell you? You’d been so close, almost sisters
You'd meant the world to her and vice versa
“Gone”
With that single word, twenty five years plus of memories flooded your mind in less than two seconds
The marriage between Yanli and Zixuan, Jin Ling’s birth, Yanli’s death, and all those years spent in Yunmeng by Jiang Cheng’s side
Where you belonged
You couldn’t help the tears that rolled down your cheeks
“I'm sorry” he muttered
And he moved to leave again
“Ah-cheng...”
You got up and hugged him from behind, doing your best to put all your love for him into that hug
Surprised, he turned around to face you and you saw the single tear streaking down his cheeks
“I love you...” you whispered gently, pressing your lips to his
As soon as he heard your words it was as if a switch had been turned on in him
He kissed you back wildly
Putting all his unspoken love into it
He may have lost his father, mother, brother and sister, but you would make sure he never lost you
Lan Xichen:
It was a bit different with Xichen
Although you were an arranged marriage, you’d quickly fallen in love with his wit, kindness and gentle smiles
He’d fallen in love with your charm
You made the perfect couple
Everyone knew that the valiant sect leader of Lan would be nothing without his angel of love
Which he made sure to remind you of at all times
As often as he could, he would remind you of your meaning in his heart by giving you of a small gift or sharing a private moment together
And you would do the same, always giving him your time and love, making sure you were everything he needed
So you can understand how heart broken when you forgot of his existence
You had offered to help the Juniors with a nighthunt, to take the burden off his shoulders and allow him to do other things for a while
He was very grateful, and although you were his wife, he never doubted your cultivation skills for a minute
And he was right to of course, it wasn't your cultivation skills (or lack thereof) that got you in trouble
The Lan clan had been night hunting close to Yunmeng when you heard screams from a nearby lake
The Junior and you went to check what was happening and arrived to a scene of pure chaos
Jiang disciples where getting dragged under by some sort of huge water spirit, full of resentful energy
You immediately sprung into action, and with the aid of the juniors that you’d been accompanying, you all solved the problem
But in the process of saving everyone, the spirit hit you and sent you flying into one of the trees that surrounded the lake
When you awoke, you were back in Gusu, a very worried male by your side
He was tall looking and he seemed extremely worried about something
Although he seemed familiar, you couldn’t place where you’d seen this man before
“Ah-Y/N! You're awake! How are you feeling? Would you like something to eat? Or perhaps to drink?”
You shook your head as you moved into a sitting position
He and you were the only ones in the room
“I-Where am I?” You asked, trying to make sense of everything
The fear and concern that flashed across his handsome features was obvious
“Ah-Y/N... You you remember who I am?”
You shook your head
The heartache in his eyes was evident
He didn't know what to say
Neither did you
He simply handed you a ribbon and got up to leave
“The Juniors fished it out of the water. I-I will come back later...”
“Wait!...”
What had you wanted to say?
The hope on his face made you feel terrible
“Umm... Whats your name?”
His face fell immediately
“Lan Xichen.”
Then it hit you
“You remind me of my old friend Lan Huan...”
Hearing you words he rushed to your side, returning to his spot beside you
“Yes! I am Lan Huan! What do you remember?”
“I... You are Lan Huan? You've grown...”
His smile was blinding
At least you remembered a little bit
That was all that mattered
In his excitement, he didn't notice you leaning in to examine his face and accidentally bumped into you
With his lips
On your lips
That small gesture was enough to flood your mind with images of past memories
Memories of your first kiss, your wedding, your first time
You deepened the kiss, surprising him
But he quickly reciprocated, putting all his love into it
When you pulled apart it was obvious that you remembered who he was
And he was so thankful for it
It was then that he knew that he had to protect you at all costs, because he would never want to loose you again
Could you do the Physical Affection for LXC?
A/N: I’m so sorry for being so slow answering these but I’m having trouble with school soooo. Hope you enjoy!
Lan Xichen:
With Lan Xichen, physical affection is second nature to him
He loves you and he knows how to show it
Whether its small kisses on your cheeks whenever he can in public or heated makeout sessions in the privacy of your own home, he knows how to make your heart flutter (and beat right out of your chest)
He hates it when you get mad at him, so his solution to that is always to shower you in love and affection until you’ve forgotten why you’re mad at him (among other things)
He is a sect leader however, so it is difficult for him to always spend time with you, so when you do, he makes sure to make every moment count
This could mean many different things
During the summer and sometimes in spring as well, he will take you to the top of one of the many waterfalls in cloud recesses and you would spend the entire day talking and sharing passionate kisses, which occasionally lead to something else
During the winter he will make sure that you have a nice fire going on in your quarters and you will have dinner together, before he gently leads you to sit by the fire and talk, gently kissing you whenever he wants to
As a child, Xichen didn't get much physical contact with anyone, with his uncle being Lan Qiren and his brother never wanting to hug him
This has made him a very touch starved person
Which also makes him pretty clingy, especially when your alone
He knows you both have reputations in the outside world, so he will never do anything too forward in public
But when you’re alone?
He goes all out
He won’t ever do anything that you don't want
But he will let you know what he wants
That whole kind well-behaved sect leader thing? Lies
He wants you to love him
He wants you to kiss him, he wants you to gently run your fingers through his hair as you whisper words of praise, he wants you to gently hold his hands whenever you can
And when you do? He’s always so grateful
Sometimes you even go out of your way to give him affection
Perhaps he’s walking through cloud recesses with Wangji
You’ll run up behind him and wrap your arms around him waist, burying your head in his hair (which always smells so good for some reason)
Then when he turns around to greet you, you’ll urgently press your lips to his, surprising him with how passionate you can be (and leaving Wangji thoroughly embarrassed and red)
He’ll chastise you for it afterwards, telling you that you shouldn’t do that to his poor brother, denying the fact that he’s the one who’s all red
But you know he loves it when you initiate the loving
When he’s really feeling lustful, his kisses will be ardent and fervent, his hands gripping your waist or not-so-gently cupping your face (it doesn't hurt though)
When he’s feeling more thoughtful and peaceful, his kisses will be gently and sweet and so very slightly shy
But whenever he kisses you, in any mood, it will be passionate and heartfelt
He loves the feeling of your warmth next to his when you sleep, and will generally want to be the big spoon although he’s been known to choose the small spoon on some more difficult nights
Since he’s started sleeping with you, he cant sleep as well alone which is why he almost detests going on really long night hunts without you
He also really loves holding your hand when you go to the market, or anywhere for that matter, although it always makes Wangji uncomfortable
Lan Xichen doesn't get jealous very often although sometimes he will feel threatened by someone
In which case, he’ll very passive aggressively make them leave
And if they persist?
He will kiss you on the lips, extravagantly
(Which makes Wangji even more uncomfortable:))
But no matter rain or sun, you know that your lover will always give you all the physical affection you need
Just make sure to give it back :)
Jin ling physical affection please?
A/N: Finally stopped procrastinating like a huge doof. (I’m so sorry y’all, but ill have more and more time soon so I might open requests rly soon) Anyways this was rly fun to write so I hope you enjoy!
Physical Affection with them (Pt 3)
Jin Ling:
Just like his uncle, Jin Ling is afraid of affection
But he craves it more than he knows
Having grown up with little to no physical affection, from either of his uncles, Jin Ling is very touch starved
But he repels affection even stronger than his jiujiu
If Jiang Cheng runs away from affection, Jin Ling sprints
He (thinks he) detests affection from anyone, but he (very) secretly craves it
So when you gently reach for his hand during a night hunt or hug him after long periods of separation, he loves it
But on the outside he tells you off and wrenches his hand away
“What did you do that for stupid?”
But inside his well guarded heart is melting
At first, it would hurt you when he said things like that, but you simply got used to it, and then proceeded to ignore him when he did it after that, opting to keep holding him as you wish
The only times he didn’t put up a fuss was when he was sad or hurt
He either didnt have the energy to tell you off, or he just wanted your love so much, he didnt even care what others thought anymore
If his uncle had gotten really mad at him, or if Jin Chan had pushed him around too much, Jin Ling would come to you, on the pretense of complaining, but he really just wants to feel your love
And you never fail to live up to his expectations
His first kiss was with you and every other kiss after that as well
After your first kiss, he was still too shy to initiate it, since he lacked experience, but you had no qualms
You would kiss him whenever you wanted to, which sometimes made him very shy since, well, he just wasn't used to such blatant displays of love
But he loved it when you did kiss him
Especially on the lips, with a loving passion that he had never felt before
When he initiated it (very rarely) its probably because he was jealous
Its always pretty sloppy and rough when he does, since he’s jealous and a bit angry
He’s not very confident in himself, so he wont generally initiate contact for fear of rejection
But every time he does he is relived to find that you rejoicingly accept it, which makes him feel loved
His preferred form of affection (that which he initiates most often) is either hugs or cuddles
When you're in bed together, he will always wrap his arms around you, but beware if you make any comment, he will leave you cold and alone for the rest of the night
If he hasn’t seen you in a really long time, when you meet again he will initiate a hug, but only in private
He absolutely loves it when you run your fingers through his hair, especially when you are cuddling
It’s probably his favourite thing you can do
But he will never say it so you had to find out by yourself when he accidentally let slip a sigh of pleasure when you first did it
His embarrassment had been evident, so you didn’t say anything
But you made sure to do it more often after that
When it comes to small things like hand holding and kisses on the cheek, Jin Ling will allow it in public, but will still complain, because he has his reputation to uphold
And if he’s jealous (generally of Sizhui), he will grab your hand and pull you to his side, which is childish, but makes you smile never the less
You know how low his self esteem is, so you make sure to give him lots of love, especially when he’s jealous
He knows that you and Sizhui are pretty close, and he knows that Sizhui is practically and angel on earth, so it would make so much more sense for you to be in love with him instead of Jin Ling, who is considered a spoiled brat by the majority of the cultivating community
You know that he thinks this, so when you're with the two of them, you make sure to stick closer to him, and make sure he knows that you are in Love with him
In the end, you complete Jin Ling and he loves you with his entire heart, and will do practically anything you’d want him to do, just for you to stay by his side
Little does he know that he doesn’t need to do anything else to get you to love him, because your heart already belongs to him
Thank you for reading!
How about a Nie Huaisang, Jain Cheng, Lan Xichen and Wei Wuxian s/o defected from the Wen clan to help them, but gets treated badly at the LanlingJin feast during the Sunspot events. How would they react?
A/N: I’ve actually had these written for while so hope you enjoy! (Also I wasn't sure what title Jin Zixun holds so i just wrote him as third young master)(Ps. I only wrote NHS, JC and LXC, hope you don't mind)
Nie Huaisang:
Nie Huaisang would never be the one to openly start a public riot, or any public confrontation at all, but when it comes to you, he’ll go all out
He won’t start a duel, or anything physical, although he will use his words
The one throwing accusations is Jin Zixun (of course cuz he’s a bitch)
During the SunShot campaign, you sided with the great gentry clans, even though you where a Wen
You held no high rank in the Wen clan, in fact, you were simply a disciple born into Qishan Wen
So when you’d seen what they where doing was evil and wrong, you’d deflected
On your way out of Qishan, you’d run into Nie Mingjue who’d allowed you to live, if you fought by their side
Since that's already what you’d been planning to do, you gladly accepted and joined their ranks
By then you already knew Huaisang (from the Lan clan lectures), and where already courting (which also sorta started at cloud recesses), so Nie Mingjue already knew of you
And he made sure to keep you safe
When you returned to the Unclean Realm with Mingjue, Huaisang was ecstatic to see you
And they invited you to join their clan, for fear of prosecution by the Jin clan, so you were now technically a Nie (Which ofc would be solidified when the two of you got married)
But for some reason, this didnt sit well with Jin Zixun who decided to call you out at the flower banquet in Lanling
He walked over to where you were sitting, behind Huaisang, and demanded to know why you left the Wen clan when they were still winning, claiming that such actions were very suspicious and that you were probably a spy
Before you could retort, Huaisang’s gentle voice interrupted you
“Of what exactly are you accusing my fiancee third young master Jin?”
Several badly hidden gasps filled the room
Due to your status, you hadn’t told the cultivation world about your courtship, let alone your betrothal
The only people who knew were 3Zun, one of which (Nie Mingjue) gave his brother a reproachful look
But Huaisang took no notice, and proceeded to get up to properly match Jin Zixun
“Perhaps you have drunken too much,” he said with a fake smile, as he removed the cup from Jin Zixun’s fingers
“You should go sit down”
In all your days you had never heard such menace in your beloved’s voice
And Zixun seemed to get the message since he left you alone
Then Huaisang turned to you, and with the sweetest and cutest smile, proceeded to ask if you were alright
Jiang Cheng:
With Jiang Cheng, it was different
We all know that this young sect leader has an explosive anger
And as you were his betrothed, he would do everything in his power to protect you
It had been Yanli’s idea for the two of you to get married, since you were very close to her (her best friend), you would be safe with Jiang Cheng, even if you were an ex-Wen
Similarly to with Huaisang, you had escaped when you had seen what the clan had been doing, and had joined the gentry clan, and had helped them win the SunShot Campaign
But your relations to the Wen Clan were no secret, and it bothered many people that such an influential member of the Wen Clan was still allowed to live
Which is what Jin Zixun seemed to want to know
Already parties and feasts where not your safe place, but with him trying to cause a scene, there was no doubt that you were no comfortable
“You are the niece of Wen Ruohan are you not? Why are you here? The Jin clan dishonours themselves letting a Wen wine and dine with them after all that's happened.
From beside you, you could almost feel the anger radiating from you beloved
“I mean no trouble” You said, in the kindest voice you could muster, but it did nothing, as Jin Zixun continued his verbal assault, not taking a second to hear what you were saying
After a while, it became too much for Jiang Cheng and he stood up abruptly, towering over Jin Zixun
“Shut up before I do something I may regret.” He growled, voice full of venom
This clearly rattled Jin Zixun since he backed away
But before he returned to his spot entirely, he spilled his drink beside you, muttering a “Wen Scum”
This sent Jiang Cheng into a fit of anger and without thinking about it, he unsheathed his sword and in an instant, he had it at Jin Zixun’s throat
This was when Jin Guangyao decided to intervene
“Sect leader Jiang you must forgive the third young master for his harsh words, we all lost much in the war, it is normal to have some reservations after what they did.”
But his angelic smile did nothing to calm your betrothed
“She is no longer part of the Wen clan, she is of the Jiang Clan now, and if anyone else dares to say another ill word on her behalf, I will not hesitate.”
And with that he re sheathed his sword and returned to sit beside you
After a bit everyone went back to their chatter, and the issue was forgotten
But Jiang Cheng would never hesitate to defend you against anyone if the occasion where to arise again
Lan Xichen
Similarly to the other two, you were also a deserter of the Wen Clan, but you had met Xichen when he’d been escaping cloud recesses
Instead of Jin Guagyao, you were the one who saved him and let him stay with you, in a little cabin deep in the woods in the mountains that you’d found and had decided to live in until this all blew over
But when it was time for him to leave, he’d wanted to take you with him, for he’d fallen in love with you, and he wanted to be the one to protect you from now on
You’d agreed and together had returned to cloud recesses and had fought in the war
And you had plans to get married soon after
But for now the two of you were attending the festivities in Lanling, more specifically the flower banquet
It had been problematic enough when Jin Zixun had asked your fiance and his brother to drink, but when he started talking ill about you, you could tell that Lan Xichen was on the verge of snapping
The generally kind and gentle sect leader was tense and rigid, and it was clear that he was not going to retain his air of elegance for much longer if the third young master did not shut up
“Third young master Jin, my betrothed is no longer part of the Wen Clan and fought valiantly by our side during the war. She was with me at every moment, so as such it is very improbable that she was trying to do any under cover work for the Wen Clan. I would appreciate it if you left her alone.”
The passive aggressive in his voice was striking and it was visible to all that Lan Xichen was in no mood to play
Jin Zixun gave him a look, but before leaving, he had a cup poured for you, asking you to join him in a toast
“To the destruction of the dreadful Wen Clan, and all of its fighters. Isn't that right Lady Y/N?”
The look you gave him was deadly, but you brought the cup to your lips never the less, until Xichen stood up, almost knocking Jin Zixun over
“That is enough third young master Jin. The family matters of my beloved are of no concern of yours. I will now ask you to please leave my betrothed and I alone.”
It was clear to all that he’d crossed the line, and Jin Guangyao came to your rescue at last, asking Jin Zixun to stop
He scoffed, but left you alone
As soon as everyone had calmed down, your lover turned to you, and kindly asked you if you were alright and if you wanted to leave
Although you did, you told him that it was alright, but he was by your side for the rest of the night and the next few days as well, defending you against anyone who dared insult you or your family
Thank you for reading!
good time of the day to you! I saw you opend your requests and Im literally vibrating with excitement!! I really like how you write the juniors so! can I maybe ask for some fluff headcanons for any of them (doesn't matter, they are all cute, please do whoever you want!) hmm something like how they act around their crush? maybe they think their crush doesn't return their feelings but they actually do?? something cute and fluffy please and thank you in advance 😊💗
A/N: I started writing this and then IT DELETED ITSELF SO I HAD TO REDO IT! But I hope you enjoy lol! Also I only did Jin Ling cuz it was rly long, but I like this idea, so I’ll do the others in due time:) (P.S: This was really fun to write (although im not sure it was exactly what you asked for sryyyy) but if y'all want more feel free to request!)(PPS: So they might be a little angst cuz whats fluff without angst right?{Lol no I just cant write fluff apparently. sorry:)})
Fluff (angsty?) HC’S:
Jin Ling:
The first time the two of you met was on an inter clan night hunt
You were of the Lan clan and because you were kind and gentle (although sometimes opinionated), everyone liked you
Especially Jin Ling
During that night hunt however, Jin Chan and a few other Jin disciples decided to mercilessly tease Jin Ling over having missed a shot and failed to capture one of the flying demons as he had said he would
And of course, you were the only one to step up for him and tell them to back off
Which just made him like you even more
Several years later, the two of you became quite close and, along with Zizhen, Sizhui and Jingyi, now formed the Junior Quintet
And through those years Jin Ling fell further and further in love with you, every time you did a sweet action towards him or spoke kind words, his heart would soar
But unfortunately, since you were a Lan, you spent the majority of your time with Jingyi and Sizhui by proximity
And thus rumours grew that you and Sizhui were courting
Jin Ling did his best to ignore that hearsay, because if he were to believe it, his heart would break
But those rumours where unfortunately too easy to believe, what with Sizhui being the well-mannered, kind, gentle boy he was
It was quite probable that a respectable, not to mention super kind and loving and amazing person such as yourself would want to court someone like Lan Sizhui
Just by watching you, it wasn’t hard to see how such rumours may have been true as well
For example, every time the five of you where together and it was time to split up, you would always go with Sizhui, even when Jin Ling was left without a partener
Which made him undeniably angry
Just the thought of Lan Sizhui being the one to hold you when you are cold, to be the one to protect you from the dangers of the world, to be the one who would be allowed to marry you,
Those thoughts where enough to bring tears to Jin Ling’s eyes and make his anger flair up in his chest
But what could he do?
As long as Sizhui held such an important spot in your life, he could never dream to be the one at your side
And he couldn’t even hate Sizhui for it either
Sizhui was one of the only people he trusted, and was friends with, and that in and of itself was enough to make Jin Ling’s anger vanish to give place to sadness instead
Not to mention the fact that Jin Ling knew that no matter what he said, he couldn’t compare to Sizhui
He was prideful and short-tempered not to mention haughty and rude
How could you love him?
But this knowledge (albeit entirely false) didnt stop him from falling deeper and deeper in love with you every time you gently touched him, spoke some sort of kind word to him or spent a moment toghether
Like now
The path in the forest was muddy and gross, but you and Jin Ling had been assigned to take this route, so there wasn't much you could do
You had needed to split the group up again for nighthunt purposes, but this time, you’d also had Wen Ning with you, so he’d gone with Sizhui while Jingyi and Zizhen had been the second pair
Which of course left you and Jin Ling
When you could, you tried to be paired with Sizhui because he was like a brother to you and you felt safest with him
Being with Jingyi was non productive, since he was always too loud and being with Zizhen was also non productive since the both of you always got distracted talking to each other
And being with Jin Ling was nerve wracking because, well, how could you concentrate on the nighthunt when he was there?
He always wore the best robes and had his long hair styled in the best ways to make himself look attractive (even though he was attractive enough as it was without all of this), not to mention his sharp yet delicate features, and the constant look of, well you couldn't tell what it was but it was always in his eyes when he looked at you, and it was very distracting
And so you did your best not to look at him while you walked the path
Not that you had much time to had you even wanted to since the path was quite narrow and you were stuck walking behind him
The air was filled with awkwardness, and panting breaths as you walked further up the mountain
You decided to break the silence shortly after bringing up a series of short topics, perfect to make interesting conversation with him
You hoped that he didnt notice how nervous his presence made you
He on the other hand was angry
It was obvious that you did not want to be partnered with him, but you could at least make an effort to not show it
The way you avoided eye contact and only spoke in small talk, you would almost think that you hadn’t been close friends for the past few years
His mind was filled with these troublesome thoughts
Until
SPLASH
“JIN LING!”
The puddle that he had just stepped in was much deeper than he’d anticipated, and he’d lost his balance, falling into a meter deep of mud and slamming his head against one of the jagged rocks that adorned the side of the badly kept path
You quickly dragged him out, gently laying him on the mossy grass by the side of the path, making sure that there were no rocks under him, and began to examine his head
All the while, he was whining in pain, but it was clear that he’d hit his head quite hard because he looked quite dazed, as if he didnt know where he was
“Jin Ling, do you know who I am?” You asked, once you’d made sure to stop the bleeding
His eyes moved to your face and the change of look was instant
“Ah-Y/N. Of course I know who you are stupid,” but just then as he tried to get up, a searing pain shot through his head and his body fell back against the moss as he let out a groan
“Ah, don't move yet Ah-Ling, you hit your head very hard.” You muttered worriedly, pushing the loose strands of hair out of his face, and putting him back into a better position
When you removed your hands from his face, you could see the red tint that now covered his cheeks but chose to say nothing
“I will send a signal for the others to come help us” you said, reaching into your pocket for the signal, but his hand shot out and grabbed yours before you could get it
“Nonono that's not necessary I can keep going. We need to finish our task.” He said quickly and this time he was able to get into sitting position, although a wave of pain did cross his face
You knew how stubborn he could be, so instead of working against his will, you grabbed his hand to help him up
As soon as he was standing however, he grabbed his hand away, his blush even deeper than before
But you didnt care, all that mattered was his safety, so you took his hand back in yours and slung his arm over your shoulder, so he could use you as a support if need be
“Hey! W-what are you doing! Let go of me!”
But no matter his complaining, you still supported him as you walked, making sure that he didnt get hurt more than he already way
To Jin Ling, this was the most embarrassing thing that could have happened
Not only had you gotten stuck with him against your will, but he was now a burden that you had to carry!
He wanted to cry
Every time he tried to impress you, be it shooting a kite out of the sky, or slaying a fearsome demon, something bad would always happen and he would end up looking like a fool
And now, he’d been trying to take the lead, to show you that he was able to protect you, and all he’d been able to show you was how much of a burden he could be
The tears fell no matter how hard he tried to hold them
There was no way you could love him anyways, so what did it matter?
You, on the other hand noticed his crying immediately
You quickly sat him down and although he tried to avoid your worried gaze, you softly wiped the tears that had fallen
“Does you head hurt?” You worriedly asked, placing your hand at the back of his head where the wound was
It almost looked like you were about to kiss him
Jin Ling looked away, and did not reply
You quickly took the signal out and threw it into the air, where it exploded, notifying the others that you were in trouble
His expression changed instantly
“No!”
He made to take it out of your hand but it was too late
It was then that you noticed that he was still bleeding and that he was losing lots of blood
You held him in your arms as the rain started falling and didn’t let go until half an hour later, when Jiang Cheng came with reinforcements and Jin Ling was dragged back to the cloud recesses, half consious
When he awoke again, he was in a warm bed, and the sunlight was streaming through the windows
The sound of a waterfall alerted him to the fact that he was in cloud recesses
His head felt sore, but other than that there was no striking pain as there had been before
You were sleeping in what looked like a very uncomfortable position beside his bed, head on the duvet
He carefully tried to move you out of the way, but to no avail, since you woke up despite him trying to be quiet
“Ah- Ling your awake!” You shot up, gently pushing him back against the head board and grabbing the bowl of soup that was on the table beside you
“Its not as warm as it was before, but it’ll still taste good.” You practically whispered as you handed him the food
Once he was holding it stably, you fluffed his pillows and returned to sit on the bed next to him while you pressed your palm against his forehead to check his temperature
“I’m sorry.” He said all of a sudden, so out of the blue that you almost got startled
“About what?”
“I was a burden to you and we didnt get to finish our task.”
The look on his face was one you never wanted to see again
It was a mix of sadness and embarrassment, and a feeling of just not being good enough
You took the soup (now almost finished) out of his hands before grabbing one of his hands in yours
“You don't need to be sorry. I was very worried about you and I... when you were crying I felt like it was my fault. I’m so relived that your okay now Jin Ling.”
And with that, you wrapped your arms around him and crushed him in a hug
Jin Ling had never felt anything quite like this
Just the feeling of being in your arms was enough to send his heart beating faster than it ever had
When you pulled away, he was blushing
“Yeah whatever.” He muttered, but you could see the thankfulness in his eyes
“Ill leave you to rest then.” You said with a small smile, getting up to leave, but before you could go anywhere, the hand that was still holding yours pulled you back
“Wait.”
Jin Ling had never felt this much courage
But your words and your loving ministrations had his mind reeling
“Are your courting Sizhui?”
The question that could make it or break it
Secure his spot in your heart, or render him alone again
His heart was beating so fast he could hear it
You laughed
“No! Sizhui is like a brother to me,” and then a pause
“Why?”
“I want you to court me.”
The shock on your face was evident
After all, you had never expected Jin Ling to be so forward about such things yet here you were
“I-I would love that. If your uncles are okay with it I mean, I wouldn't want to be a burden or anything. And we would-”
The warm feeling of his warm lips on yours stopped your nervous stream of words
The kiss was so delicate and gentle, almost as if a soft breeze would be enought to break it apart, yet so loving at the same time
Jin Ling didn’t get many chances to prove himself to you but this was one and you bet he would take it
If he could at least impress you with his bravery (by asking such questions without pause) then he would ignore the fact that as he had uttered those six words, his entire life had flashed before his eyes, and he’d been so undeniably scared that he’d almost peed himself
