Yet another Apothecary diaries AU/Fic prompt where Maomao is raised by Lakan and Fengxian (Like in other AUs here and here)

Only she never kidnapped, Lakan and Lahan heard rumors about the consorts children being sick Maomao instantly starts putting pieces together and wants to check is it could be face powder.

Lahan: Sorry sis can't just walk in the rear palace and check men aren't allowed

Moamao:...

Lahan:...

Lahan:I am not helping you sneak into the rear palace

Maomao: I will let you start selling some of my antidotes

Lahan:... Ok so how are we sneaking you in to rear palace?

Maoamao sneaks in confirms suspicions and leaves notes then sneaks back out. Jinshi is very confused why he can't see the servant he saw before she seems to have disappeared.

Only they aren't as sneaky as they think emperor puts two and two together because he has heard Lakan bragging about his amazing daughter many many many times before. He actually doesn't mind because Lakan is the only person who will talk about their daughter without trying to convince him to make them a consort.

So when Lihua gets sick he asks Maomao to help. Jinshi is so confused when he sees her and just starts getting to know her more.

She keeps disappearing then reappearing to solve mysteries (In disguise every time she uses same disguise when visiting her uncle/her sisters)

The thing is Maomao is still going to formal events with her family and Jinishi is sometimes there and he has not figured out who she is.

Maomao thinks he's already figured it out and there are so many misunderstanding and miscommunication.

The emperor and all the consorts know who she is and the consorts call her other for problems/ to just talk and because they are all enjoying with fucking with Jinshi (At least Gyokuyou and she has dragged Lihua into her favorite pass time of watching this chaos)

Bonus Loulan and Maomao have met before in both formal and non-formal settings and just a very awkward moments when they recognize each other.

Extra bonus: Lakan busting into the emperors office

'WHY DID YOU TAKE MY DEAR DAUGHTER TO THE SHRINE OF CHOOSING!??'

i keep coming across these "maomao is raised by lakan and fenxian" au ideas and there's also a criminal lack of consort maomao fics on ao3 so now i've got an idea cooking and i want to brainstorm with yall here

La Mao, consort to the Moon Prince

yapping under the cut because this got long

so lakan finds out fengxien is pregnant before he has to leave so he buys her out, but it's not a good idea to take his pregnant wife with him so he leaves both of them behind.

fengxien, not trusting herself to be a mother on her own (because she herself was raised without a proper motherly influence) finds out that lakan's uncle that he dearly trusts has moved to work in the pleasure district and they live together and maomao still grows up around the brothel and her sisters

maomao still cares for her great uncle/adoptive father much more than she cares for her actual parents and she still grows her love of medicines and poisons, but when lakan returns, she's publicly recognized as his daughter.

knowing that she can't visit the pleasure district without drawing attention if she's recognized as a member of the La clan, so she goes to great lengths to dress up very well when she's recognized as La Mao and she takes great care to be as unassuming as possible elsewhere.

flash forward, maomao overhears rumors about both the imperial children dying (and gets curious) and strange whispers of what the Shi clan might be up to (and wants to keep an eye on things closer than her careless father does) and decides to kill two birds with one stone and asks if there's any way she can enter the rear palace.

Lakan obviously doesn't want to give his daughter to the emperor but there's not exactly a way to sneak her into the palace. So he devises a plan- he'll offer her, not to the emperor, but to the moon prince (who obviously can't visit her often or without great preparation if he wants to pretend to be the enuic of the rear palace.

the emperor knows it's not a good idea to refuse the La clan and he's been wanting to push Jinshi towards becoming the prince again so he accepts.

Jinshi is not amused with this situation but he also can't make an enemy of the La clan

so he makes an appearance as the moon prince the first night she's there and imagine his surprise when this beautiful princess with her parents' cold calculating eyes looks up at him and apologizes that they won't be able to keep each other company tonight.

why not? why she's noticed something odd and it seems someone's attempted to poison the moon prince.

Jinshi watches as she solves the mystery and then pointedly asks if the Moon Prince like to leave after such a scare and also asks if someone would fetch Jinshi after all this is sorted out

so obviously she knows the truth.

by the time 'Jinshi' gets there after taking care of the aftermath of the attempted poisoning maomao's changed into her commoner outfit freckles and all and explains that if he lets her do as she pleases she won't force him back into the role of the moon prince

the series then ensues, but with maomao playing a sort of double role as both La Mao (pretend) consort to the Moon Prince and Maomao, La Mao's lady in waiting.

The only problem is, Jinshi is falling head over heals for Maomao, but he's already agreed that their 'relationship' is just for show...

Apothecary diaries AU/fic prompt where Lakan leaves and Fengxian is about to give birth and freaking out not knowing where Lakan is and why he's not here when Luomen finds and about the baby.

He buys her out of her contract and takes her back explaining about what happened and suddenly Fengxian is no longer freaking out she's strategizing.

Fengxian: So his father sent him away I see

*Somewhere in the La clan estate there is deep feeling of dread*

She goes full master strategist mode and basically takes over La clan (she makes it look like her Lakan are married she knows he'll agree and neither of them will want a big wedding so it's all good)

Lakan returns back only to be welcomed as head of the family with Fengxian there handing him a baby, HIS DAUGHTER like 'Welcome back, do you want to play go?'

He nods eventually it's a slow game though as he keeps just staring at Maomao in awe and gaping like a fish he has completely blue screened and is so confused. Fengxian doesn't mind she's waited 3 years for this game and they have many more years of games ahead of them he can take his time.

Bonus Lakan finds out about all her plotting and planning and is just more smitten

Lakan:Marry me

Fengxian:Technically we are already married

Lakan:oh

Lakan:Can we get married again?

(Bonus her seeing Jinshi pine with Maomao and taking him aside Jinshi thinks this is going to be a shovel talk and it is... but also

Fengxian: My daughter takes after her father

Jinshi: I mean not much thankfully ah -No disrespect I-

Fengxian: In the sense she is oblivious willfully or otherwise of any feelings and will not realize unless you are completely upfront

Jinshi: I-

Fengxian: Lakan did not seem to fully understand my feelings until I handed him our child

Jinshi:...

Jinshi:...fuck)

Shen if he was a Yaoguai au

What Shifu said about him the first time was true in literal sense, he literally is a Yaoguai that eats metal and spits fire

He had metal for beak and legs. And an extending neck

He summons wolves as he whispers out flames, you can see a wolf head and ears in image 3 cut below if you look closesly

His tail has more dots to resemble eyes and so does his crest and all of this couldn't make me not add him actual more eyes too lol. 3 pupils. 6 in total.

This time the symbols of his patterns doesn't only affects Po but everyone else too

İnitial sketches while trying to figure out the design:
