I was in the middle of nowhere with a small notepad of paper and a dull pencil that I sharpened with a pair of kitchen scissors because I’m determined (badass) like that 😄

This one’s for you @felicity-kitten for making me ship these two all over again. A little pocket sized Ming-Li !

[rlappreciationweeks]

For those that wanted the cactus juice story. Some mingzan, some p’heer, and some ming’li and if you squint, even a little… p’lazan?

[rlappreciationweeks]

I might have been listening to Still Falling For You from Ellie Goulding in excessive amount during writing few parts, then had to tone it down. (not that it matches perfectly, just certain passages. Nothing have beat NSC in that regard yet. Thanks, @avatar-dacia ) I’m not fully happy with it, but needed it myself, so I hope it will lift your mood, too.

@rlappreciationweeks

Ingredients: denial, a questionable pass of Bechdel test, and the phrase “falling for someone” getting a literal twist

Day 04, Fantasy - Zaheer and P’Li

(this isn’t much, but offered me an idea for a fic which will be uploaded shortly)

@rlappreciationweeks

[rlappreciationweeks]

As I said, a fic to go well with the drawing. What a day. I should get some sleep.

@rlappreciationweeks

Be ready for: sad

[rlappreciationweeks]

There goes another one, I did it! (well, it’s something for sure)

@rlappreciationweeks

Prepare for: me being sad because of those awful prisons again, P’Li fucking up, and Ghazan in need of therapy (as all of them, okay)

Day 03 - Song Lyrics, part 1

Ming-Hua and Ghazan

ATB - Twisted Love feat. Cristina Soto

In perfect moments I want to annihalate the guard and surrender But I cannot be that tender With heart hard and underneath my skin So I may never let you in Oh, isn’t that twisted, my love? Isn’t that twisted, my love? I am so twisted, oh, my love. Just give me a moment, I’ve got to step back Just give me a moment, I’ve got to step back

Solarstone - There’s a Universe

As I gaze upon the stars at night There is one that shines with brighter light It’s so far away, I can’t explain

So if our constellations don’t collide That’s fine… there’s a universe out there And if the stars won’t lead you to the grail Exhale… ‘cause the universe don’t mind

ATB - Stars Come Out

See me rise, watch me fall I’m not steady at all Cause sometimes, life hurts like hell I know this too well When it’s dark, the stars come out And for a moment we are saved Yeah when it’s dark, in your darkest hour Stars come out

Day 03 - Song Lyrics, part 2

P’Li and Zaheer

ATB - Still Here feat. Tiff Lacey

I never meant to fall this way So much to sacrifice I never thought life would pass away And at such a high price Feel we’re still one That love hasn’t gone I sense everything about you Around me when I’m alone Know that you’ll always be Deep in the heart of me No matter where I am today You’ll always be a part of me Never forget I never left Always there in the shadows Hard to believe Because you couldn’t see Always there when it mattered I’m still here…

Florence and the Machine - Heavy in Your Arms

I was a heavy heart to carry My beloved was weighed down My arms around his neck My fingers laced to crown

I was a heavy heart to carry My feet dragged across the ground And he took me to the river Where he slowly let me drown

My love has concrete feet My love’s an iron ball Wrapped around your ankles Over the waterfall

I’m so heavy, heavy Heavy in your arms I’m so heavy, heavy Heavy in your arms

And is it worth the wait All this killing time? Are you strong enough to stand Protecting both your heart and mine?

Neev Kennnedy & Adam Ellis - Reason to Believe

You know I’ve never been the kind To easily fall in love But with you it was so simple

I wasn’t particularly searching But you found me and you knew Right from the start

With your wholeheartedness And perseverance You peel off my resistance

You took me home You taught me faith You taught me faith

I never said to believe in forever It’s a promise I never thought I could keep But sometimes when we’re close at night Holding each other tight at night You’re a reason to believe

ATB - Killing Me Inside feat. Sean Ryan

You know, I tried to find a way, A means to keep it high, Forced to yield to blinded sentiment And you know, I tried to give it up, With effort to make sense Of senseless cries and smiles stirred by vain I’m falling apart, I’m crashing down And you’re killing me inside I’m falling apart, losing my mind And you’re killing me inside I’m falling apart, crashing down And you’re killing me inside I’m falling apart, losing my pride And you’re killing me inside I’m crashing And I’m falling I’m losing And you’re killing me inside.

Red Lotus Relationship Week: Day 4: Favorite Canon Moment: P’heer

“I want you to know, that not one day when by in prison that I didn’t think of you.”

[rlappreciationweeks]

Red Lotus Relationship Week: Day 4: Favorite Canon Moment: Mingzan

“Will you just bury them already!”

[rlappreciationweeks]

I couldn’t get this one in a state where I was happy with it. But here it is. This is pretty much Mingzan. But kind of a platonic OT4.

[rlappreciationweeks]

And there goes another one, a day late! It begins.

I compromised everything and made myself sad. Ming’Li would become more of an OTP of mine if it had more content, as I found out when I was writing this. Or I hope that’s the case and they didn’t end up OOC instead (with Red Lotus, it’s kind of a reach to say what is and isn’t OOC, though).

@rlappreciationweeks

Prepare for: me refusing to let go of “showoff” comment (in other news, water is wet), Ming-Hua in denial, and big need of a hug, too, and P’Li not understanding the concept of monogamy. (I blame @thelockestuff )

[rlappreciationweeks]

Have a little bit of Ming’li, well Ming-Hua crushing on P’Li.

[rlappreciationweeks]

Another one of Red Lotus weeks is just beginning, and here I have my first entry. I previously intended to make it longer, focusing on different “firsts”, but then it all refused to cooperate, so I decided to wrap it up like this. Let me know what you think :)

@rlappreciationweeks

Contains: Ghazan being easy, Ming-Hua being underestimated and drinking

Red Lotus Relationship Week - Themes

I’ve tried my best to put it together from what you liked, even though if someone feels something should be changed, don’t hesitate to point it out.

Day 01 - First or Tethered

Day 02 - Night Out or Spar

Day 03 - Song Lyrics or Reunion or Fantasy

Day 04 - Favorite Canon Moment or Elements or Tattooed

Day 05 - Longing or Confession or Insecurities

Day 06 - Healing or Trust

Day 07 - Family or Aftermath or Peaceful

I sincerely hope everyone will be able to choose something that fits. If you’d like to participate, it doesn’t matter how many days you do, if you write, draw, make edits, write headcanons, etc., anything is welcome. Any day can be AU or canon alteration (which we team denial kinda have to run with). If you happen to like multiple themes for one day, no one is stopping you from trying out more.

I remind again, if you wanted to have something else included and feel like it’s missing, tell me. I’m not saying it couldn’t be done better, even though I attempted to mix in everything - from establishment of said relationship, to something feisty, both angst and fluff. In my opinion, each day has at least one theme that can be platonic as well as romantic/sexual, but that’s up to your interpretation.

Also, please tag any contributions @rlappreciationweeks - everything will be collected and available there.
