Could I request Jing Yuan slowly falling in love with a baker reader who manages to win his heart through the power of delicious baked treats?

Oml thank you so much anon I can finally write a request for my beloved malewife JY. <333

Reader gender: gender neutral

It starts out on a peaceful afternoon. I imagine that no matter how busy the Arbiter-General of the Luofu is, he likes to occasionally take breaks from the Seat of Divine Foresight to take a stroll or visit places on the ship to see how things are going. Despite his fame, I like to think that people have enough respect for their dear general that when he's out on these outings, they'll allow him his privacy.

On these walks, he likes to find something to eat if the timing is right. Seeing as it's just past lunch and he's yet to eat, Jing Yuan supposed it would be good to find somewhere to grab a bite while he was out.

It's then that Jing Yuan stumbles across your bakery. Initially he merely listed it as an option in the back of his mind, filing it away as a new bakery he'd have to try out later or maybe now if none of the other places suited his fancy that day. But then as he began to pass... The smell that wafted out from the door as a smiling customer left the building convinced him to go inside. He was pleased to find that while it did have Xianzhou specialties, it also had foods from beyond the fleet's norm.

Another thing that he was pleasantly surprised with was you, the owner of the bakery. Even with the unspoken rule of allowing the general his leisure time in peace, many would at least gawp at him for a bit before poorly hiding their awe and shock at seeing him in their shop. But you merely waved at him just as you did the customer who'd entered before him. The feeling of being treated just as a normal person was... Very nice. Jing Yuan's ever present smile widened a tad as he nodded to you before going back to perusing the options behind the glass of the counters.

He decided to get a wife cake (sweetheart cake) to enjoy on his way back to his office. The exchange between you two was easy and pleasant. You did your job and nothing more. Though- it was done with a smile and in such a way that he felt quite comfortable.

When he left, he glanced at you again. You were seeing other customers, not sparing him another glance.

Taking a bite of the wife cake, he found that it was better than any he remembered having before and the flavor brought back memories of times gone by. How lovely. Perhaps he'd have to visit your bakery again.

And he certainly did. Over time, the two of you built up a rapport. You were his favorite baker, and he, your loyal customer. Something about your baking made him feel warm inside. When he asked what you did to make them taste so good, you would respond that you baked them in the hopes of each good you sold bringing just a little more joy to the lives of those who ate them. He chuckled and said that it was surprisingly believable.

At some point, he became aware of the fact that the two of you were becomming... quite close. Concerningly so.

I like to think that with the life he's lead and with the personality he has, Jing Yuan is the type of person to give his affections freely. But his trust is hard won. Sitting in the seat of an Arbiter-General, not only has he had to lead troops to victory, but he's had to manuever on the political battlefield as well. After holding his title for longer than most of his peers and having to be the one so plan behind the scenes... Always planning ten steps ahead of everyone else... It would be hard to put his trust in others. Especially when you add on what happened to his old friends. Sometimes, no matter how good he is at what he does, fate will take matters into its own hands.

So when he notices this predicament... he's a bit... afraid, honestly. Huh- The Divine Foresight himself, afraid? It was the truth. He was still mortal and still had his fears and flaws.

Even so, he had no real reason to avoid you. Especially because he thought it would be best to continue as normal so as to not alarm you. You two did have a solid friendship after all this time... As much as you could when he held you at arms length.

Yet there was still tension there. In the brush of fingers when Jing Yuan handed over his payments and when you'd give him what he'd bought. The smiles the two of you would exchange. The heartfelt words that you gave Jing Yuan even when he was trying to keep a firm distance between the two of you. It made him feel a bit guilty for keeping a wall up when you were none the wiser... And perhaps the kicker was the way his heart felt full of warmth when eating the pasteries and other snacks you'd prepared for him specifically that morning, knowing he'd be in. The simple pleasure of always knowing you'd have food he'd more than enjoy ready for him. Knowing that you made it for him. Knowing you cared enough to do so. Knowing how much care and love you put into everything he ate.

And it was a moment like that in which he realized he was already too far gone.

He had been enjoying one of his favorites of yours while sitting in your shop, having enough time that afternoon to do so. He was brought back to memories of his old friends and comrads... And this time. Warm, fond memories of you. That was... new. It was then that he heard your laughter, causing the man to look up as you patted the hand of a woman who was smiling widely at you. She had been thanking you profusely for your help in making her anniversary with her boyfriend so wonderful. They had both loved the pastries and said that it seemed to make their hearts even more filled that day.

Oh.

Oh no.

His eyes crinkled as he felt a smile stretch across his face, unbidden.

He was in love with you.

From that point on, he subtly did what he could to become even closer to you. Let down his walls and allow you in. Just you. He did things to subtly court you, as well. Little gifts here and there that show his sincerety and that he remembered the things you said to him. Sometimes this would include ingredients you needed for the bakery. Eventually, he even gifts you a hairpin (even if you don't have long hair, this is mostly for the symbolism).

It was that gift that made you realize his intentions. It was a quiet morning, even before you opened shop that he stood in the back with you, under the artificial light of the shop and in casual wear due to a day off he took for this. Quietly and softly he told you that he had a gift for you and took your hand gently in his to place the elegant hairpin. He softly closed your hand around it with the hand that had previously been holding the hairpin, your hand and said hairpin held tenderly between his two larger, calloused and scarred hands. When you looked up into his eyes, searching, you saw how they had narrowed and clinkled at the edges with his warm smile. This was not a side of him you'd ever seen before in more than the barest of glimpses.

With a slow grin that he matched when he saw it, you leaned up to wrap your arms around his neck to pull him down into a kiss.

It seemed that not only your food could warm his heart.

Thank you again for the request! Feel free to send in another one~ Especially if it's for JY I love him so so much ijogee I could talk about him for daayyyysssss.

hiding in plain sight - sh, js, jy, jw

pairing. enhypen x gn!reader (sunghoon, jay, jake, jungwon)

genre. fluff, s2l or f2l, headcanons/scenarios

word count. 1.7k

author’s note. after a month of hibernation i give you this instead of any of my planned wips <3 i got inspired by the tiktok trend w this song so credits to whoever started that ig? also dw i’m not a heesunriki hater i just only had ideas for 4 of the mbs lmao and thank u to @zreamy for beta reading without u i’d be dead in a ditch somewhere.. ok have fun reading lmk what u think !!

You and Sunghoon had known about each other long before you’d met, let alone got together. Well, known about each other might be a bit of an understatement - you both had huge crushes on the other in high school but, of course, had never considered that your feelings might be reciprocated. Sunghoon was the handsome figure skater whose good looks everyone gushed over, but because of his shyness, not many had the privilege of calling him a friend. You, on the other hand, were the captain of your school’s beloved soccer team. and were popular among the student body for your outgoing and friendly personality. You definitely weren’t blind to Sunghoon’s good looks, and you not only admired his grace and elegance on ice but also envied his small friend group and apparent lowkeyness. Little did you know how cool Sunghoon thought you looked leading your team on the field and how he wished he could befriend people as easily as you. Grass is always greener on the other side, as they say, and you and Sunghoon were both jealous and admiring the flowers in the other’s garden. It wasn’t until later that you met again, when you started attending the same sports university. Your roommate was a figure skater and invited you to their Welcome party - even if you and Sunghoon hadn’t known each other well, seeing a familiar face was comforting (especially for him), and so you spent the better part of the evening talking and actually getting to know each other beyond the surface-knowledge impressions you had of the other. You were amazed at how much you shared and how well you got along and you couldn’t help but think what a shame it was that you were finding out about this now, and not years earlier when high school had started. You exchanged contact information at that party, gradually got closer, and the rest is history.

Jay is usually an extremely patient man, but even he gets tired of waiting for you to recognize his feelings for you sometimes. Most of the time, he’s happy to essentially treat you like he’s your boyfriend without the actual label. Cooking you your favorite meals, picking up coffee and a pastry for you in the morning, carrying your bag for you, tucking your hair behind your ear - you name it, he’ll do it. You just think he’s a really sweet and caring friend, while he wonders when you’re going to realize he’s hopelessly in love with you. If you were anyone else, he’d have no problem straight up asking you out, but because you’ve been friends for so long, he’s afraid of making you uncomfortable or of risking your friendship. So he does what any other normal, sane person would do, and decides to become your secret admirer. If he’s too scared to confess his feelings to you, his anonymous alter ego isn’t. Over the next few weeks, he slips love notes or song lyrics that remind him of you in your bag and places snacks on your table before you get to class, all while he gets to watch your reactions and your growing fondness for this “secret” admirer. He’s filled with pride every time a wide smile blooms on your lips as you read his notes, every time he catches you listening to a song recommendation of his, and every time you gush about your admirer or wonder who he is, not knowing he’s right in front of you, looking at you with nothing but affection in his eyes. After a little under a month, he writes a time and place for you to come meet him on the note he sneaks in your bag. The way your expression as your eyes find Jay goes from giddy, to confused, to disbelieving, to giddy again is absolutely priceless, and Jay stands there through your stages of realization, watching you with a wide grin on his lips and a bouquet in his hands. It all makes sense now - his attention to you over the years, the way your secret admirer seemed to know exactly what you liked. After he confesses, you tell him you might need some time to transition from your friendship into a relationship, but let’s be honest, your feelings for him only need mere days to grow - and you now realize that they might have always been there, waiting for you to notice them.

Your first encounter with Jake may be described as ‘right person, wrong time.’ It was halfway through your first year of college - you’d just gotten dumped by your high school boyfriend who you’d been dating for three years and had had to go long-distance with, while Jake had just found out his girlfriend, whom he’d started dating in the first week of college, had been cheating on him basically the whole of their relationship. Let’s just say that when you went to a party organized by the student association of your department, neither of you were in a great place. He’d found you by the counter of the bar that had been rented out, downing a shot of tequila on your lonesome. By that time, you were already so wasted that the memories of him coming up to you, hitting you with some random one-liner and ordering a drink of his own were fuzzy. You’d kept on drinking with him as you told each other about your recent heartbreaks, so you could not at all recollect those moments - but getting into an Uber with him was somewhat clearer. It wasn’t until the next day, when you woke up with a terrible headache naked in his bed, that you realized what you’d done. Jake was still completely passed out, and you managed to dress and slip out of his room without waking him up. Thankfully, you were part of a big department in a big university, so you only very scarcely ran into each other after that. Having no classes and barely any friends in common meant that the only times you saw him after your one-night stand were from afar at the library or at a club every now and then. You’d exchange a quick hi, maybe some small talk, but nothing more than that. You did wonder about him sometimes - what it’d have been like if you hadn’t met when your mutual breakups weren’t so fresh, what might’ve happened had you not left so sneakily in the morning, how he’d react if you approached him once more and actually talked to him. Then, in your third year, not only do you share a class, but your professor also partners you up for the whole semester. It doesn’t take long for you to realize that you and Jake have more in common than having gone through a bad breakup in your first year of university, and you hit it off. You really hit it off. He makes you laugh, and he takes the uni work you have to do seriously, and obviously, he’s very good-looking. A few dates later, you realize how thankful you are for meeting the right person again - and now at the right time, too.

Had luck been on your side, you and Jungwon could have fallen in love much earlier than you did. You’d met at the Arts & Crafts club of your university, of all places. Between assignments, attending class, having a decent social life, and worrying about the amount of instant ramen you’d consumed that week, activities like scrapbooking or knitting were a welcome addition to your life. It let you turn your mind off for a while and just focus on making something pretty, or at least fun, for a while. When you found out your university had a club for it, you immediately joined - you’d have access to more supplies and could befriend people with the same hobby as you. Your first time there, your eyes immediately settled on a broad-shouldered boy at the end of the table that seemed very focused on gluing bits of paper to a beat-up notebook. What caught your attention was how familiar he looked - not like you met a long time ago, but like you’d seen him around a few times. You’re not sure what it is, all you know is that you find yourself walking across the room and taking the seat right in front of him. He looks up as you sit down, and his dimpled smile immediately makes your heart skip a beat. That first day, you just make small talk, asking the other about their courses and showing each other your progress on whatever art you’re crafting. But now that you know him, it feels like you see him everywhere - in the campus café, at the library, in line at the grocery store, it’s like you can’t escape him anymore. Not that you’d want to, anyway. You’re always happy to run into him, but the best part is that he seems to feel the same way, if his wave and wide grin upon seeing you are anything to go by. On one of those days where you randomly run into each other, he grabs his courage with two hands and asks you if you’d like to get coffee with him - you accept right away, of course. It’s this rainy afternoon, as you sit in a cozy café with a warm cappuccino in your hands, that you find out why Jungwon had looked so familiar the first day. You had lived in the same town, one where it was unlikely you’d know everyone but possible to run into anyone, had attended the same middle school, and even when he’d moved away for high school, you’d kept mutual friends, which meant that you had attended the same wild parties of more than sixty people. You’d lived in the same uni dorm in your first year, so you’d probably seen each other in the laundry room or during fire alarm tests. Even crazier, your parents had had the same vacation spot for years, and when you were fifteen you’d actually been there at the same time. You searched through your gallery and found pictures taken at the same place, mere hours apart. And yet, it was only at the Arts and Crafts club that you finally met. If you didn’t believe in soulmates before, meeting Jungwon had surely convinced you of the opposite.

Hello. I saw a request open, please disregard this if you deem inappropriate for you but I want to request a platonic sibling with Yanqing, reader is older than him but not the same age physically as JY, reader has a Ganyu-esque demeanor and is a rather gentle and polite person in contrast to the feisty Cloud Knight lieutenant. So, this reader is comforting Yanqing after the events with Blade/IL. Telling him he's doing his best and it's not his fault and he's simply doing his job helping the general's in a way. Idk how to word but after that scene I can't help but feel sorry for Yanqing

lotus blooms and swallows

synopsis - he always saw you as an older sibling, so would seek out comfort in confusion and tough times

includes - yanqing

warnings - gn!reader, fluff, slight angst to comfort, wc - 918

a/n: hello! i really liked this idea and i did also feel bad for him :(

yanqing had no family lineage. that much was clear from the day that jing yuan had taken him in. so it became ever so natural for jing yuan to become not only a mentor but a sort of family figure for the young boy. although jing yuan's title as general could more than likely lead to him being busy and unable to help yanqing. and that was the duty entrusted to you.

you had been working alongside jing yuan for a while, despite being nearer to yanqing's age. you were also some sort of leader among the cloud knights although your more gentle and anxiety prone personality meant you requested to hold back on some roles. but jing yuan was reluctant to completely limit your talent, so had deemed that if you and yanqing worked together it would work.

it was an unusual circumstance for sure, but for yanqing to truly work alongside you jing yuan had thought you'd be more than qualified to teach him and help him whenever the general would be busy. thus began your relationship with the young swordsman. from the very start, yanqing admired your skills and while they may of been with a bow instead of a sword it still left him in awe.

he also admired your calm and collected demeanor even in battle, contrary to his more fiery spirit. and very quickly, almost like second nature, he started viewing you as an older sibling. you became someone that he looked up to as much as he did to the general. you may of had some things in common such as both of you weilding ice and being lieutenants in the cloud knights, some would also note the differences in your personalities.

they were quite obvious as you were always attentive, polite and gentle, yanqing however was more feisty, outgoing and more dedicated to become stronger. in spite of these differences you both got along like no others. he would quickly pick up on your habits of becoming anxious anywhere and would often not hesitate to speak up for you if you wanted.

and similarly you became the first person he turned to in wake of any issues plaguing him. for example, whenever he had yet again failed to prove himself worthy of becoming sword champion he would turn to you and your calming words to assure him with anything.

you were well aware of any habits yanqing had, and even more aware of how the general viewed him. you did strongly dislike how often the general would keep yanqing in the dark about many situations, just to tell him off for doing his job later on. so it came as no surprise to you about the newest scenario going on in the xianzhou luofu.

you were quickly made aware of the intruders and why the astral express were present and willing to help. but made unaware of the generals actions so you could correctly assume that yanqing had less of a clue than you did. but you could not track him down, unaware of his current whereabouts and condition. however you would not be wrong to assume he was fulfilling his role as lieutenant.

and your assumption was proved correct when fu xuan had told you yanqing had returned after the general rudely dismissed him for doing his job. you were asked and required to help out with fu xuan and other affairs that required your expertise in leadership and combat. naturally you would know how he was feeling and needed to go find him.

upon finding him, he was relieved to see you as he had also been seeking out the comfort of one he saw as an older sibling. he had recounted the events word for word to you. from his fight with the stellaron hunter blade to his fight against blade and imbibitor lunae. after you got over the initial shock, you reminded him that he did nothing wrong.

you told him that even though the general meant well, it was still no excuse for keeping him in the dark and then reprimanding him for doing his duty. you appluaded his bravery, dedication and skills for what he did in sake of his job. this did indeed lift yanqing's spirit's. and in that moment he looked up to you even more, truly admiring your skill to remain level headed and in turn what you had done in his absence for your duties.

your gentle reminders that he only did his job and in no way was his fault helped him gain confidence back. and as he was still feeling a bit bad so you gladly stayed with him to help him get back to his best.

he knew it may be slightly cruel to smile and slightly laugh at the comical scene of you gaining the confidence to give jing yuan a piece of your mind. you had indeed made him promise to stop treating yanqing as such a child and inform him of situations so he could act accordingly. yanqing thanked you profusely. some may even say you two truly were actual siblings, not just people who saw each other as that.

WHAT DID YOU SAY?!

Featuring: The First Years Plot: You speak your(my)home language in front of them Cw: Reader speaks Afrikaans because it's the only language I can actually understand without a translator, Gn! reader, cursing, translations/explanations after every scenario A/N: Holy crap, the French translated version of La Seine is so *mmmmmmmmmmhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh* Also reader does say some South African slang as well.

Ace Trappola

You were busy in the library, stressing over a test that Crewel had set for the very next day, when Ace walked in, trying to find you so that you could help him with studying.

"Hey prefect! I was wondering if you would help me with studying with that test thats comin' up." he quires with his usual large smile plastered on his face.

You shoot your head up at him, your eyes staring at him with blood lust.

"Het jy regtig net my studie vir jou idiotiese gat onderbreek?!" you scream.

Ace stares stunned for a while, his arms hang stupidly by his sides.

" Nou het jy niks om te sê nie!" you yell angrily.

You gathered all of your books and your sling on bag and marched out of the library to retreat back into Ramshackle.

Much later at night, Ace messages you a fat apology, saying how he didn't know that you were stressed and wanted to make up to you. (He also says its cool that you know a different language)

Translation:

->Het jy regtig net my studie vir jou idiotiese gat onderbreek?! = Did you really just interrupt my studying for your idiot ass?!

->Nou het jy niks om te sê nie! = Now you have nothing to say!

DEUCE SPADE

Deuce was busy helping you out in Ramshackle with some cooking in the kitchen. You were on one end of the room, humming a song a song that Deuce was not paying attention too, until he hears a soft,

"Eendjies, eendjies, staan in 'n ry. Een, twee, drie, vier, stap hul' verby"

He turns his head curiously at you with a questioning face.

"Prefect, what are you singing?" he asks gently.

You stop your singing and turn to look at him. You did not realize that he had been listening to you.

"Oh it's an old lullaby my mother used to sing to me when I was little. I kinda just remembered it just now. Sorry for surprising you!" you explain.

The boy just smiles happily and continues on with the rest of day, but he just happier knowing that you relived a little bit more about yourself to him than you do to others.

Translation= Ducklings, ducklings, all in a row One, two, three, four, see how they go. {Fun fact: Most South African children learn this lullaby when they are in preschool/Grade RR}

JACK HOWL

The track and field team was going against RSA in a race today and you in the stands cheering him on.

As Jack is running, he suddenly hears form the crowd,

"SLAAN HULLE MY SEUN!"

It was you screaming your lungs out for him. Even though he had zero idea what you had just said, he still appreciates it continues to do his absolute best.

Translation: SLAAN HULLE MY SEUN! = BEAT/HIT THEM MY BOY (I personally like to assign my friends a family title, and because I said so, I assigned Jack as the son)

EPEL FELMEIR:

Epel was stomping down the hallway, anger painted beautifully on his face. He was absolutely pissed at Vil for booking a hair and makeup appointment for him even though he did not need it.

Once he saw you walk out of your final class for the day, he immediately runs up to you and starts to vent about the 'bullshit that Vil puts him in' and so on.

"Awww, shamepies" you teased.

Epel turns his head at you with a mix of anger and confused on. "What the hell did you just say?" he breathed out.

You stood surprised and then it hits you like a damn train. He doesn't understand your slang.

Quickly you explained that 'shames' means a lot of different things and it is not always bad.

Epel now uses it against Vil.

(Shames is usually not used to degrade or reprimand someone, rather it is usually used in a sarcastic or comforting way, like what reader did, they faked pity while teasing Epel for having to deal with Vil.)

SEBEK ZIGVOLT:

Sebek opened the door to Ramshackle to give you a message that was sent from Malleus. Something on the lines of meeting the prince in a different location for their nightly walk.

But when Sebek walked deeper into the dorm, he heard loud screaming coming from the lounge.

"Julle het regtig gedink dit is 'n goeie idee om soos 'n klomp apies op te tree!" you lectured.

The troublesome trio looked shamefully down at the floor, trying to ignore your harsh, blade like stare. Your hands were on your hips and thee were shattered pieces of a blue vase scattered all over the floor.

Sebek then decided that it would be better to wait in the foyer until you calmed down and decided the trio's punishment.

Translation: "Julle het regtig gedink dit is 'n goeie idee om soos 'n klomp apies op te tree!" = "You guys really thought it was a good idea to act like a bunch of monkeys!"

mdzs x pokemon au thoughts

mostly focusing on yunmeng trio - or rather duo (jc and wwx)

So, focusing on bodies of water, magikarps could be found in lots of places. Especially in yunmeng.

There are also many disciples who likes hard and seemingly impossible challenges. Like training magikarps into gayardoses.

And yunmeng jiang sect can be proud of few disciples and clan members who successfully trained their magikarps into gayardoses. Also, at some point it became the question of not "who can achieve it", but "who can train the stronger gayardos from magikarp" or "who can train the stronger gayardos from magikarp faster" or "who can train the stronger gayardos from magikarp faster without the pokemon starting to hate you and running away somewhere" or "who can train the stronger gayardos from magikarp and be the youngest to do so".

That's why the two young rivals caught a magikarp for themselves to train. Achive the impossible and kick the ass of your sect brother etc.

JC's magikarp has some sick-ass name that would be truly suitable for a beast like a gayardos (but still it's something a ten year old (or younger?) would think of.

WWX thought of so. MANY. NAMES. but none of them was the ideal of his glorious magikarp-sooner-than-JC's-turned-to-be-gayardos. In the end it's name is some kind of fish-based dish that JY implied*, would make magikarp into if he starts abounding the poor pokemon now**.

(* she only asked nicely if he's still training it!) (** JC at least knows some lick of responsibility because he had dogs (dog-like pokemon?) before. But Jiang Fengmian's and Madam Yu's neglect towards (their) children is not the best example of taking care of others :/ And if YJ is going to make her brothers learn some responsibility by making them focus on their bet then it's no-ones business)

Anyways. Training magikarps it's surprisingly not so easy. Despite the hard training sessions both pokemon have not evolved before the boys had to go to Gusu for lectures. They still have not evolved when they came back, nor when the Indoctrination happened, nor when Lotus Pier was attacked - and what's worse they got separated from their trainers when the siblings trio were on the run, (why would you have your water-based pokemon in some kind of pokeball when you live nearby water???). And so, JC's and WWX's bet was never resolved....

...some time later, when the Sunshot Campaign was ongoing, there was plan to retake Lotus Pier. Well, plan always was to retake Lotus Pier, but now they had means and battle plans to do so.

Yet, by the time they arrived, instead of Wens roaming around they found Lotus Pier overtaken by pokemons with two gayardoses seemingly taking the role of main bosses there.

It was a beautiful moment of pokemons reuniting with their trainers, new jiang members being glad not to be considered food by the wild pokemon due being part of the jiang, non-jiang members taking few significant steps back to not get eaten, and everyone sans two having a moment of 'what the fuck did they call them' when (mostly)respectable people like Sandu Sengshou and (not-yet-called-that-then)Yilling Patriarch calling to two gayardoses name akin to "Terminator 3000" and "Chicken Nuggets"

They still don't know who's magikarp evolved first. Officially the bet ended with a tie. Practically Jin Ling's granchildren are aware the bet was never resolved.

------------------------

PS1: there was this one post about how Jiang Family is bad at names (including wwx) and it lives rent free in my brain, but I don't remember who's it was nor specifics

PS2: I hc that if wwx (no matter the au) had pets, either he would let others name them (not because he doesn't have ideas, but because he thinks other short-timed joy is more important/more valuable than his decision in things that don't pertain to the safety of his loved ones and if others don't think for even a moment that his silly name for his pet is good for his pet than why shouldn't he listen to them especially if it's coming from his loved ones?), OR he would name his pets after some kind of food.

[another-goblin]

I was reading a long deep essay about the Quintet's past and present and noticed that Jing Yuan is only mentioned passingly once or twice.

And then I realized.

He seemingly had nothing to do with whatever happened in the past. And the current day drama that resulted from that doesn't involve him also.

If Quintet was a Quartet, nothing would have changed.

His only connections with HCQ I can think of are: he "killed" Jingliu, but she got better, so it doesn't count. He's the only one who remembers his former friends the way they were then, but he refuses to talk about it. He's being sad about it all, but he hides it well, he's so slimey all the time (except for a couple of moments in Jingliu's quest when he looks like he's about to cry), so I'm not sure it counts also. He helps his friends with their problems on the Luofu (like helping Blade escape from prison), but he would have done the same if they weren't former friends, because it benefited the Luofu in the end, so it doesn't count.

And the other members, on their part, never had any special emotional connection with him, so what's the point.

I'm probably missing something, but, I mean, there are two implied romantic couples. There are diaries from Baiheng writing about little Blade with warmth, and he later considered her a very good friend. And I'm sure there is more. And the only thing I can remember about JY is from Blade (mentioning him as an annoying little brat) and from Jingliu (about how he wasn't a talented pupil).

My Jiujiu Wikes His Boss

"My jiujiu wikes his boss," Jin Ling helpfully told Jingyi's dad while they were eating soft ice cream at the cafe in the company building where his Jiujiu worked.

"Oh really?" Lan XiChen asked with a smile. He had known Jin Ling for more than a year but he had never seen the boy's uncle. "Is the boss handsome?"

"Vewy handsome! He has wong, shiny haiw, pwetty face, and majestic nose!"

"Jin Ling!" Jiang Wanyin came to the cafe, sweat beading all over his face. "Why did you leave the kindergarten without supervision?"

"Jiujiu!" JL put his ice cream down and opened his arms for his uncle to pick him up.

JWY wrapped his arms tightly around the boy as he took him into his arms. "Gods, you worried me."

LXC raised a brow at his secretary. JWY was JL's uncle? Now, this just got fun.

JC noticed his boss and he immediately bowed despite still holding his nephew. "I'm so sorry, sir. I hope he didn't bother you."

LXC shook his head, his smile quite naughty. "Oh, he didn't. But JL sure provided me with very INTERESTING news."

JC blinked a couple of times. Holy shit. What did JL say to his boss??? He wracked up his brains for anything. Anything at all until it tunneled in around one information that JL definitely found /interesting/ to share to anyone. 'Oh, my gods... Please no'

JC cleared his throat and hid his panic. "O-oh, i-is that so, sir?" He chuckled and looked down at JL's cute and chubby face. The face that he'll bite later until he's all satisfied.

"Yes... Very interesting indeed." LXC got up and walked closer to the duo before gently patting JL's head and planting a kiss there, his face an inch away from JC's. "JL, don't leave the kindergarten without supervision again, okay?"

The boy nodded and looked up at the handsome man--LJY's daddy. "Daddy of JY, you'we handsome too. Maybe my jiujiu wiww wike you too."

'Oh, please, dear gods above. Just take me.' JC prayed. LXC smirked at JL and patted his head once more. "Well... Do you think I'm pretty enough for your Jiujiu to like me?"

JL put his head on Jiujiu's shoulder and hummed as he stared at JY's dad. "Yes. I think so. But maybe Jiujiu's boss is still pwettiew than you."

"I doubt it," LXC replied before patting JC's stiff shoulder. "You can go home early today, Wanyin. Make sure you take care of JC. See you tomorrow."

'Maybe see you never, boss. I'll never show my face around here anymore. I'll file a re--'

"Don't resign. I won't allow it."

-----

The next morning was an eventful time. JL was throwing a tantrum, saying he didn't want to school, JWY being forced to wait for LJY by the school gates so JL would walk in, and of course, LJY being accompanied by his father.

"Morning, JL and JC," LXC greeted.

"Morning, boss," JWY made sure not to meet the man's eyes and let JL grab LJY's hand. "JL, be good, okay? No more escaping."

JL looked up at Jiujiu and nodded. "Okay, Jiujiu. JY is with me. I wiww be good."

LXC chuckled to himself. JY was anything but good after all. JWY and LXC watched the boys walk into the school building hand in hand.

"So... I guess you like your boss, huh?" LXC teased, making JWY screech and try to make a run for it but LXC was fast. He grabbed JWY's elbow and basically tossed his secretary into the car. "Sir..." JWY basically pressed himself against the door, wanting to escape this awkward situation.

"What will you do if your boss like you too?" LXC asked, his smile bright and mindless of the driver.

JWY gulped a couple of times. "Uhm... I'm... Sir... Uh..."

"What? Are you afraid of me?" The boss teased, loving how the usually irritated and serious secretary was now stuttering.

"N-No! Not... Not at all!"

"I can hear you lying, Jiang Wanyin."

"I'm not lying, Lan XiChen," JWY finally snapped. "You're being ridiculous."

LXC raised a brow. "Is that so?"

"Yes! Just because my tattletale of a nephew said something doesn't mean that you should believe it."

"Huh... And yet you called him a tattletale. Meaning there's truth in there."

"Oh, shut up." JWY huffed and crossed his arms over his chest, his cheeks burning from embarrassment. "You may be my boss but I won't allow you to play me."

"Oh, why would you think I'd play you?" LXC asked.

JWY's eyes were sharp on the older man. "Lan XiChen. #1 most eligible bachelor of the decade. Playboy. Changes partners like he changes his clothes. Sugar baby to half of the billionaires we know. Really? Really, SIR?"

LXC chuckled. "Excuse me? I am NOT anyone's sugar baby."

JWY turned to the older man and raised a brow, obviously calling him a liar with just one look.

"I am just someone who enjoys the best in life. It's not my fault people are willing to pay for my time."

"So... A sugar baby."

"Minus the sugar, of course. I only sleep with people I'm interested in." LXC smirked and looked JWY over slowly. "And I'm interested in you."

"So this is about sex?" JWY asked, slightly hurt by it.

"Not at all," LXC shook his head. LXC looked at JWY and smiled. "How about a trial time? You and I go on dates for a while and if we realize we're good together, we can start being in a serious relationship?"

JWY shook his head. "Look, boss, it's unethical for you to do this."

"Hmmm? How?"

"I'm your employee. I am not really in a position to say no to what you want. What if I realized I don't like you after all? What if I realized I don't want a relationship with you? I won't have the power to say that w/o the thought if getting fired."

LXC glanced at JWY and shrugged. "Then you can transfer under WangJi's wing. I'll have WWX as my secretary."

JWY narrowed his eyes at his boss. "You are aware that LWJ and WWX are dating."

"Yes." LXC smiled at JWY as if he'd just made a point. JWY rolled his eyes. "LWJ is in love with WWX. WWX has him wrapped around his fingers. You, on the other hand, just found out from my nephew that I may or may not like you. It's not the same."

"I think it's quite worse. LWJ is more in love with WWX than WWX is in love with him. LWJ can control him."

"It's LWJ we're talking about. Not you. You playboy."

"And I'm your boss but somehow, you still don't care enough to talk back to me." LXC chuckled. "Coz you're quite a himbo," JWY pointed out, sighing when the care finally slowed down.

"Keep driving," LXC ordered and the car sped up once more. "Himbo, huh?"

"Yes. A himbo."

"Then I guess himbos are your type."

JWY laughed at that. "Can't deny it. Himbos can be cute."

LXC leaned back and chuckled, rolling his eyes at JWY. It looked like he'd have to woo this pretty secretary. ---

Wasn't it such a good thing that JY and JL are such close friends? JL became LXC's spy on JWY.

"So... What does your Jiujiu like to drink?"

"Coffee. No chugaw..." JL replied happily while building his skyscraper with JY. ---

The next day, a cup of coffee, no sugar and no creamer, was waiting for JWY on his table with a sticker of a smiley white rabbit in the cup. ---

"What does your Jiujiu like to eat?" LXC asked JL one time while JL and JY were playing together.

"Wotut Toup." JL replied before grinning at JY's papa.

/Dear gods above, give me enough strength to control myself. I'm itching to bite this kid./

---

JWY frowned at the sealed lunch box on his table. His gears moved, making him know that it was from his boss. But what the heck is he supposed to do with these random gifts? Upon opening, his mouth watered. Lotus Soup. How the hell does the man know what he wants? But he won't complain. So he sat down and took his fill of the delicious food provided for him.

LXC watched JWY and gave himself a pat on the back. So far, so good. ---

"What flowers does Jiujiu want?" LXC asked JL, watching his son and JL build a building made of Legos.

JL paused and frowned. "Uhm... Hy... Hy... Hydwa... Hydwajeya...? Puwpwe and bwue widdwe fwowew."

"Purple and blue? Little?"

"Hydrangea, A-Die," Jingyi helped. JWY blinked at the flower pot he found on his desk. A beautiful little hydrangea. So good. "Boss," he popped his head inside the office.

"Hm?" LXC looked up at the gorgeous man.

"Do you like curry?" He asked.

LXC blinked and nodded. "Ah, yes."

"Does JingYi like it too?"

"Yes, he eats anything. As long as it's not too spicy."

JWY nodded. "Come for dinner then. I'll cook."

---

Lan XiChen made sure that JingYi looked good for their dinner with Jiang Wanyin and Jin Ling. Donned in identical casual white shirts and black jeans, LXC & LJY held hands as they walked towards the front door of the Jiang house. LJY was holding a bouquet of peonies for Jin Ling (a request he made for his Diedie to buy because JL loved the flowers) and LXC held a small pot of hydrangeas.

The CEO pressed the doorbell and had the chance to hear two pairs of feet scrambling to get to the door. "I GOT IT!" JL yelled but when the door opened, it was JWY who had it. "I TAID I GOT IT, JIUJIU!"

JWY chuckled and shook his head, "too bad, you're so slow." He smiled at his boss and LJY. "Well, hi, good evening."

"Good evening," LXC greeted, his eyes scanning the younger man shamelessly.

The purple button-up shirt was tucked into a pair of white shorts that stopped an inch above JWY's knees. His feet were bare too.

"Good evening, Mr. Jiang. Good evening, A-Ling!" LJY stole the spotlight easily. He gave A-Ling his bouquet and he waited for Mr. Jiang to let them in.

"Good evening, A-Yi!" JL greeted back as he took his flowers, his cheeks turning a bit red from pleasure. "Come, A-Yi, we can go pway!"

JWY patted A-Yi's head. "Good evening, A-Yi, welcome to our house."

The two boys ran into the house and went directly to A-Ling's play area which was caged with colorful plastic fences. In the play area was a small tent where they could lie down if they wanted. All of A-Ling's toys and books were there too.

The adults went to the kitchen. "Please have a seat, sir," JWY offered before wearing his duckling-yellow apron that screamed A-LING'S PRETTY JIUJIU in what looked like a child's scribble. "The curry is almost done."

"Might as well call me XiChen now, Wanyin," the CEO pointed out. "Okay, XiChen," JWY tried, thankful that he had his back turned to the older man because he was sure his face was red from the embarrassment.

"You look good, Wanyin."

"I know, XiChen."

"Date me, Wanyin."

"No, XiChen."

"Why not, Wanyin?"

"Because you're my boss, XiChen."

"I like you, Wanyin. And you like me too."

"I can't deny that, XiChen, but it's not so easy."

"What's stopping you, Wanyin?"

"You're my boss, XiChen, and--"

"Should I step down from my position, Wanyin?"

JWY turned to his boss and shook his head. "You're really stubborn, aren't you, XiChen?"

"You know that more than anyone, Wanyin."

The secretary nodded with a sigh. "If I date you, you promise not to ever change how you treat me?"

XiChen blinked a couple of times. "I can't ask you to eat lunch with me?"

"Of course, you can but no unnecessary touching. No inappropriate words. No telling the others about us," JWY listed, hoping that it would scare the older man off. But another part of him wished that LXC would still want him despite those.

"But after work, I can hold your hand, kiss you, hug you, drive you home, prepare meals for you, and all that?"

JWY's cheeks reddened but he continued his task. He measured rice on 4 plates and topped them with curry. "Yes, of course. Unless I tell you not to."

"Then I'm alright with anything you want, Wanyin. There's no reason to say no to me now, is there?"

JWY chuckled at that and shook his head. With a small movement, he leaned over the kitchen island and planted a short but sweet kiss over LXC's lips. "Yes, XiChen-ge. Take care of us."

Warning: MCD (it will be that is)

It's supposed to for an angst au with one of the major chars being one of my frnd's oc! (I have ¼ custody of him as well)

The jy over there is actually my frnd @kaviolli 's oc hyeon, who's a nekomata and a butler to the jy household (he was gifted to the hcq by teng xiao). So uhh the plot takes place quite a few centuries later with hyeon have stolen jy's skin (it was on jy's order though when he got mara struck). So now hyeon lives away in a faraway place, living as jy because it was an order, and it's definitely not out of pity and love (there's a lot of psychological horror conflict themes attached to it)

So this scene takes place around the end of the story, where jl being the only one to discover him (she raised jy after all, she knows) ends up granting him the peace he was seeking for so long

......

"When she was about delivers the final blow, she stares down at the body of her son apprentice's copycat. Hesitating, questioning, begging herself to snap out of it. That this is just an illusion made up in her mind. Lies that the mara spread so she has the heart to kill her own student.

Cat like eyes stares into her blood red one. This is not Jing Yuan. Her Jing Yuan never have those eyes. Her heart and soul howl over how wrong those eyes looks in his face. That's the only reassurance she needs to end this abomination, yet..

For just a second, she thought she saw Jing Yuan staring up at her with a soft smile gracing his tired face. He looks at her like she has hung the moon and back. Full of adoration and reassurance.

Silent tears path their way down her cheeks as she closes her eyes. Her sword plunging down right at the heart of the nekomata. Not daring to see her own sword penetrating his body.

A silent thank you can be heard from beneath her as Hyeon takes his last breath and Jingliu mourns."

nice meeting you

era: preebut ( 2017 )

where ivy meets her potentially new members...

olivia sat patiently in front of the staff members as they chat about scheduling and everything else, she wasn't really listening. she was too nervous to listen. the managers seemed to be strict, which wasn't anything new for her. it's the ceo's that always scare her the most. jyp was an experience like no other, and while she's grateful for it, she's glad she doesn't have to see the staff or jy park himself any longer.

"olivia," a mans voice booms in the meeting room as the door closes and opens. the girl immediately stands up and bows.

"hello sunbaenim" she says respectfully

"hello, thank you for coming" gyu-uk is a nice man. intimidating but what ceo isn't. "please, sit"

"thank you for having me" olivia smiled and sat down.

"of course, now, straight to business." the man chuckles "we are beyond happy to have to training here olivia, truly. so when we heard you didn't want to debut solo, we had a few different plans. first plan was to obviously have you debut in a girl group. and the second plan was to have you debut in a co-ed group with eight boy and eight girl. but unfortunately, the only four girls training here had ended their contracts. which leads to either a solo debut, or... you debuting as the only female member in a group of eight boys"

olivia was a little shocked to say the least. even though one opposite sex member isn't a new concept, it never really worked out in the past for other groups.

"will- will that even work out?" she questioned the older man

"we understand that past groups like this had trouble, however, you are already well known olivia. you are currently trending just for leaving jyp and coming to a smaller company. that alone gives everyone here hope that this idea will work. of course though, it is your decision. we just want you and the members to feel comfortable" the ceo gave her a smile, a very hopeful smile.

olivia thinks for a minute. "can i meet the members first?"

"of course. i believe they are at their dorms right now?" gyu-uk questions his staff members

"yes, they will be here for practice in roughly 20 minutes"

"okay, go ahead and give them a call, let them know that i need to speak with hongjoong-"

hongjoong?

"-and then she will meet all of them later today"

after the meeting, olivia was sent back to her lonesome dorm and began getting ready to meet her new potential members. meeting new people was always scary, but that was a fairly important part of this life she stepped into. within a couple of hours, a staff member came to pick her up in a van, with the ceo in the passenger seat.

"olivia! great news. i spoke to the leader of the group and he said that they would love to meet you and have you be apart of the group!" the ceo says cheerfully. olivia smiles and claps lightly as the car starts driving back to the kq building.

the staff, ceo, and olivia walk through the familiar halls and to the practice room. "this is where they are practicing, i will introduce you all and then let you all chat."

the girl nods and anxiously waits for the ceo to open the door "sorry to interrupt, but there's someone that would like to meet them" she stood behind her boss as he spoke with the instructor. she would glance around him, seeing a group of sweaty and exhausted boys. "you all get catch your breath a little first, alright?"

a chorus of yes' broke out through their panting. olivia stand there awkwardly, surrounded by multiple staff members before they finally walked in the door. the members all stood in a line looking confused, except a shorter member who smiled. that must be the leader.

"i thought hongjoong said we were meeting a new member?" one of the taller members asked the one beside him, the other just shrugged.

"gentleman, i'm sure you all know olivia, olivia this is hongjoong, the leader. jongho, hes the youngest, yunho, seonghwa, hes the oldest, mingi, wooyoung, yeosang, and san" they all bowed to each other and said their greetings.

"hello" the only girls in the room smiles at them all

"not to be rude, but i thought we were meeting a new member today?" the one named wooyoung asked after greeting her

"and you are, olivia will, hopefully, be your new member" gyu-uk says with a smile

seonghwa and yunho look over at their leader who has a proud smile on his face. "did hyung know?" yunho questioned

"of course" the boss man said "i will let you all socialize for a while, be nice" and with that, he left olivia to the wolves.

"welcome" seonghwa smiled and gestured the girl not to stand so far away "how long have you been at kq?"

"o-oh, just a week..."

she continues speaking with members when she overhears hongjoong and wooyoung's conversation. "hyung, we can't have only one girl be in our group, that's just not going to work."

"wooyoung, she is so well-known because of produce and i.o.i, this will help us in the long run."

olivia felt uncomfortable, like she wasn't wanted there at all. which she understood, she would probably react like wooyoung if she was him. "uhm, i think i should get going, but it was very nice meeting you all"

warnings:-

words: 1016

23rd day of SKZMAS

December 23rd

Seungmin is having his day off. He asked for his holidays way in advance so he was the first to be let go on his Christmas break. He is window shopping, looking for nothing in particular but he knows he is searching for something. You are on his mind with every turn he takes on the snowy streets of Seoul. Then he finds it. There it is, sitting in the shop window, in all its glory, a huge polar bear plush, waiting for its rightful owner.

He does not hesitate a second to go into the store and purchase it for you. He hasn’t seen you since your last lunch date but he was able to score your number. You will start at JY Publishing in January and that is way too far from now to bear your absence. Maybe that’s why he is constantly thinking about you.

When he looks at happy couples on the street, walk hand in hand, your confession comes to his mind and replays on a loop over and over again. The amount of times I imagined making out in the back of the lecture hall… It makes him blush to this very moment. He wonders if he had the guts back then… if he has the guts now… what would happen? 

Before he realises he hears the dial tone beep against his ear and once it stops he is taken aback to hear your voice. 

“Hello?” you ask, and you scold yourself for sounding so eager. You haven't asked for his number in return, but when you saw the unknown number on your screen, you knew it's him.

“Hey, it’s Seungmin.” he says, his hot breath is like smoke, clutching the gift bag of the plush he got for you. “I really need to see you.” 

It makes your stomach drop. Gosh, he- wait. “I-is this work-related or…?”

“Um, no…” he says shamefully, looking down at the bear. “Is that a problem? Sorry, you probably don't want to be bothered right before Christmas.”

“No- I mean ye- wait.” you blurt out, chuckling like a little girl. “You're not bothering. I- I am happy you called.” you tell him softly. “How are you?”

“I’m- I am very good, yeah.” He chuckles, a stupid grin on his face. “Um, I’m in the city just shopping. What are you up to- and well, how are you?”

“I'm much better now.” you say and your cheeks hurt from smiling so hard. “And I also happen to be in the city… did some last minute meetups.” you say, and he doesn't respond right away. “Seungmin?” you ask, and he hums. “Why did you call me?”

“Would you like to- have dinner with me?” he asks, trying to fake confidence. It can take you far, or so he heard.

“Dinner?” you ask unsurely. “You mean, as old friends?” you can't help but add.

“No.” Seungmin says a little too firmly. “Unless you want to!” he adds hurriedly. “But more in a let's date way.”

“Oh.” you say, but it only settles a moment later. A date! Seungmin wants to date you!! “Since when are you… interested in me?” you ask with a giggle.

“Since first day of college,” he admits. “I just never had the guts to ask you out. You had all these people begging to date you, I thought why would I be the one you say yes to. My cowardice was the reason I lost you and I'm not going to let that happen again.”

“Seungmo…” you whisper, and suddenly, you could run to him, no matter where he is. “You have no idea how much I want to kiss you now.” you tell him with a little giggle.

“Are you by the Christmas tree on the square?” he asks, noticing a familiar looking figure a couple meters in front of him.

“Yes, how did you know?” you ask and when there's no response you look around. Your heart stops when you spot him, just a few steps from you, standing there with a huge present and an even bigger smile.

“Hey there, gorgeous.” he greets you through the phone before hanging up. You feel like you are suddenly the main character of a cheesy rom-com as the two of you jog towards each other. You collapse in his bear hug, burying your face in his chest as he holds you tight. “Merry Christmas.”

“Gosh, merry Christmas.” you whisper, and the way he holds you in his arms, the way his cologne engulfs you… you feel like this is where you're meant to be. “I missed you.” you say, not only meaning the past few days but rather, the past few years. You missed him tremendously, and you didn't even realize.

“I missed you too.” he sighs, pulling back to look at you. You didn't change one bit and it makes him smile. You are still as cute as he remembered. “This is for you. I couldn't resist.” he admits, handing you the gift. 

You take a peek in the gift bag and you gasp. “No! You remembered!” you giggle, your eyes filling up with tears because this man here, after all this time, still remembers your favorite animal.

“It called my name in a very creepy way.” he admits with a chuckle. “Buy me, Seungmin!”

“Oh, I see.” you nod understandingly before giving him a cheeky smile. “So, you really couldn't get me out of your head, huh?”

“Not a chance.” he shakes his head. “Would you like to get some mulled wine with me? It's pretty cold.”

“Yeah, it sounds nice.” you nod and pretend to walk ahead before stopping. “Oh, I almost forgot.” you say as you turn back, taking his hand and pulling him close for a kiss.

He lets out a surprised gasp as your lips crash against each other but soon he is kissing back, pulling you close. It really feels like you two are the main characters in a cheesy movie and it is the final happy ending that everyone was rooting for. Finally.

to be continued...

DONATELLO WAS MY FIRST (well. second cause twilight sparkle. but theyre both purple and smart so) FAV CHARACTER AND HE STILL IS JY FAV CHARACTER YEARS LATER

[celesticlnstcrs]

@gemkun asked: stars. dh for jy ( our muses lay beneath the stars together, where they can try to catch a glimpse of shooting star or point out the constellations. )

                     WHEN HE HEARD about the meteor shower that the LUOFU would have the fortune of viewing due to the course taken by ship, JING YUAN knew he had to share this rare event with someone. On one hand, he can count how many he has had the chance to view himself. During his younger days, he saw his first with the HIGH CLOUD QUINTET. For the latter two, he never truly had the time to spare to view it outside of glancing through the wide windows of the Seat of Divine Foresight. This time, he wished for it to be different. YANQING was young and full of life, so it's no surprise that he went off on his own to find people to enjoy the view with him. The GENERAL had an inkling that the boy was perhaps too embarrassed to spend time with him outside of the office. Like a teen with their father. That left the elder to his own search. Realistically, he knew who he wanted to ask, and after some debate, he sent a meager text. He was pleasantly surprised by the acceptance of his invitation. 

                     IT BROUGHT HIM to the present day, where DAN HENG was sitting next to him on top of a blanket. The clearest view of the shower would most definitely be from SCALEGORGE WATERSCAPE. With the water reflecting the sky, it would certainly be a sight to behold. They didn't have to wait long since it was mere seconds later that falling 'stars' graced the sky above them, lighting up the night with their shine. JING YUAN couldn't help but look over to his guest to take in his reaction and what he saw there...well who would blame him if he said his heart skipped a beat at the sight? The VIDYADHARA looked beautiful, with the lights reflecting in his eyes. To him, saying he was beautiful didn't even encompass how he looked. Golden eyes moved back to the show before scooting an inch closer to the other. With a raised hand, he points to a line of stars behind the meteor shower. 

" If you look here, then you'll see a clear view of the   Qīnglóng constellation. For a normal planet to see   it, I'm sure you knew it was a signal that spring had    arrived. "
