Nsfw difanghua headcanons

Li Lianhua loves it rough and dirty while Di Feisheng actually likes to fuck deep and gentle, which is why Li Lianhua prefers to ride Di Feisheng rather than let him fuck him at his own pace.

Li Lianhua actually really likes having Fang Duobing fuck him, because even though he starts out arguably gentler than Di Feisheng, eventually he's losing his control and fucking him rough and sloppy just the way Li Lianhua likes it and god bless youngsters with their fast refractory period.

Di Feisheng completely controls the pace and depth when he fucks Fang Duobing, not because the other is let's him but because it's a game between them of how many times Di Feisheng can make the younger cum before himself and also how hard can Fang Duobing cry in pleasure.

They have rules to fucking in duos and that is the third should also be in the room even if they are not participating or at least be made aware before or while they are doing it. (Yes, the rule was made just because Fang Duobing actually got sad that they were fucking without with him and didn't invite him... No it doesn't matter if you thought I was busy, you should have at least offered (⁠ ⁠⚈̥̥̥̥̥́⁠⌢⁠⚈̥̥̥̥̥̀⁠) )

Li Lianhua loves to stroke Fang Duobing's hair and give him little kisses when he's overwhelmed and crying because he has already cum thrice and Di Feisheng is still going.

Di Feisheng is a biter but he also really really loves being bitten. He loves it when he gets marked, whether it's the nail scratches in his back or shoulders from when Li Lianhua last rode him or Fang Duobing chomping at him cause he's been hogging Li Lianhua for too long. But he really loves those marks and if he spends extra time in the bath running his hands over the marks, then that's between him and the water. ( Unfortunately the marks don't stay that long in him because he heals fast but not to worry because Li Lianhua is more than happy to freshen the marks every other day and pushing Fang Duobing into chomping Di Feisheng is also very easy.)

Di Feisheng sucks the best cock out of the three. That tongue is very very talented. He also uses that same tongue to dominate kisses and absolutely smiles smugly at Li Lianhua with a- I won - every time he leaves him breathless with a kiss

Di Feisheng is also surprisingly very into semi-public sex. Li Lianhua does not like it so he's willing to play a secret voyeur to Di Feisheng's affair with Fang Duobing who while doesn't get the public kink but definitely holds a thing for being shamed or being creeped on by Li Lianhua who is supposed to be his husband catching them in the act. (Ohhhh I really need to expand on this one)

While Li Lianhua does not get hard he really really loves them prostate orgasms but they take a lot out of him so he can go two rounds most in one day but it's good that his one round lasts like 3 rounds for Fang Duobing.

Fang Duobing is always ready for sex, it's very easy to turn him on and make him cum but he's a good boy so when they order him to not cum he can hold on for pretty long. But both DFS and LLH are meanies so they hold regular competitions on who can make Fang Duobing cum the fastest? Which means he's more often than not the focus of experiments for new techniques. (Not that he's complaining.)

Final thoughts on Mysterious Lotus Casebook~

Things I loved:

The main characters! Fang Xiaobao for character of all time. Who’s doing it like him? That ponytail should win an award for best supporting actor. Li Lianhua is obviously incredible but I’m going to hold a grudge against him for making Xiaobao sad. Di Feisheng was unexpectedly hilarious. Man comes out of a ten year recovery period and his first words are ‘I need a rematch’.

The minor characters! Princess Xiaoling was amazing. Yang Yunchun constantly simping for Shi from Baichuan court was hilarious. Shoutout to Murong Yao for being super hot. Qiao Wanmian for queen of everything. 

The villains (mostly)! Shan Gudao and Xiao Zijin being parallels because nobody was comparing you to Li Xiangyi except you (but it’s still so understandable that they would be so envious even as it doesn’t excuse their actions)! Shan Gudao not actually being secret royalty! Local man needs to just get a grip (but won’t)!

The themes! Dealing with grief and loss! Finding closure! Learning to live after a tragedy! Great job everyone, hit the showers.

The hurt/comfort! Enough said.

The wonderful trope I will choose every time: you don’t have to go along with your biological family when they’re toxic as fuck! I kept waiting for Xiaobao to be like ‘but he’s my real father, I have to do what he wants!’ but every single time Xiaobao was just like ‘wow fuck that guy, I’ve got parents who raised me and who love me and that dude fuckin’ sucks’. 1000000/10, no notes.

Things I did not love as much:

Although I don’t think JLQ is supposed to be particularly relatable, her whole motivation was like. Lady. He’s just not into you. Get a grip. Got very annoying by the end.

Most mystery shows, I like to try to solve things as clues are revealed and that was just not possible in this show. It felt like every single case ended with LLH giving a five minute monologue on stuff that there was no possible way the audience could have known, but he personally had figured out. I could barely track it even while he explained it. I’m still not sure who murdered Jin Mantang. Don’t get me wrong, the cases were fun and interesting, but Agatha Christie, they weren’t. Especially egregious towards the end, what with Li ‘I’ve deduced the entire imperial line is illegitimate based on two seconds looking at this mural which the audience hasn’t even seen’ Lianhua.

The ending didn’t thrill me. Like, it’s sad but you see it coming so you can kind of make peace with it. I even get why LLH wouldn’t let FDB even try to save him, because he didn’t want FDB to feel like he failed. But in that case, why the ambiguity? Couldn’t he have gone to his master’s grave and let them find his body or something? Just feels very rude lol.

tl;dr solid show and a lot of fun, definitely enjoyed it but don’t feel it rewiring my brain lol

Hils Watches Mysterious Lotus Casebook - Ep 5

I'm going to go straight under the cut because I want to talk about the murderer and I don't want to spoil it for anyone

OF COURSE THERE WERE TWO KILLERS! I should have figured that out!

What the fuck! This case twists and turns like a twisty turny thing

Good lord this is complicated. So the victim's sister was having an affair with the victim's fiance, and the victim's sister's husband was having an affair with the victim's best friend. And all four of them were complicit one way or another in her death. What a mess!

Aww the dog that Fang Duobing threatened to eat brought reinforcements and saved him

I don't know who is voice dubbing her but the voice does not match the lip syncing very well at all. And her voice is so deep!

If anything happens to this dog I will riot (no seriously if the dog dies I need someone to tell me so I can skip over that part)

Oh, good, it's been a whole episode since Cheng Yi last spat blood

Love that Fang Duobing left his senior to fight the bad guy by herself while he makes sure Li Lianhua is okay

Isn't that the dude that Li Xiangyi was fighting 10 year ago? The one that poisoned him?

Oh, no, he fainted again

The final boss? Like in a video game?

Oh this sweet boy. I wonder how long it will be until he finds out

Oh no is this about to get all heterosexual?

Oh, maybe not. Looks like she found someone else after Li Xiangyi 'died'

Li Lianhua: is sad and pining for his lost love Fang Duobing: Don't worry I'm here to ruin that for you

Aww I was expecting him to tell her exactly where Fang Duobing is just to fuck with him but he genuinely covered for him

Well, who can blame her for shamelessly hitting on him

Damn he just shot two dudes in the head with drops of water

Granny Blood is a fucking awesome name

Aww he's sad because he has no one to play with after he killed Li Xiangyi

Just as a guess I think he's going to give this magic elixir to Li Lianhua once he finds out he's still alive. Then he'll have a worthy opponent again and will be less sad

I love that he still finds Li Lianhua quite annoying but at the same time will do anything to keep him safe.

Do you need a boyfriend? Because congrats you have one now

I mean apart from the time you threatened to eat his dog

LMAO he drugged him again! Eventually Fang Duobing is going to learn not to accept food, drink, or anything else from Li Lianhua

Mysterious lotus casebook, just fun things~

Li Lianhua calling his old rival A Fei which is just such a familiar name (I'm only used to Zhao Yunlan asking a crush to call him A Lan so). Like what a choice. Can't figure out an alias for ur super famous rival? Call him an intimate nickname. Sure.

Fang duobing being the MOST territorial man to ever live. Grabs hold of li lianhua and won't let go and moves himself in. Doesn't like li lianhuas other friends. Actively tries to Beat the shit out of them and give them bad food. On a mission to drive them OUT. Absolutely enraged over said nickname A Fei. Ready to throw hands nonstop

Fang duobing being That Bitch who says "you're my partner" nonstop within like a week of meeting. He could shake hands with Wei Wuxian calling Zhou Zishu his soulmate by ep 8 of Word of Honor lmao. But like genuinely, while partner im gonna interpret only as meant to be "detective partner/work partner" I still think it's Mighty Clingy of him to force li lianhua to be his partner lmao.

Fang duobing being such a fucking little liar who lies. "Fine I'm going my separate way" proceeds to move into the guest bedroom and eat all meals together. "Fine I'm not going to ask you to solve a crime with me" except I'm absolutely going to drag you into my shit until I get you mixed up in the case anyway uvu then insist you MUST help (and you won't want me to die so you will... and eventually fang duobings strategy DOES work... because eventually li lianhua goes back for him, like in the tomb, instead of leaving him behind anymore).

Fang duobing being like "You're ordinary, I'll protect you!" And like while in a way he's right, it's hilarious he's saying that to the Once Upon a Time second best fighter in the world. I also love how he immediately took the job of guard dog to heart: he is ride or die ready to do anything to protect his new coerced partner li lianhua.

I also like that him being ADAMANTLY ready to save li lianhua and protect him at all times, means we get plenty of rescues that aren't even a big deal. I think it's funny to compare the rescues to Ultimate Note and wu xie for two reasons. 1. Because Joseph zeng is playing the rescuer this time, and fang duobing is way more vocal about wanting to save li lianhua than xiaoge ever is, so it's cute to hear how intently up for Heroics the rescuer is. 2. Ultimate Note, like pretty much all dmbj for some reason, goes Really Shippy whenever it would do rescue scenes (you know what I mean... romantic music, long gazes into each other's eyes, romantic framing). It's interesting to see this show NOT do that, despite possibly even more frequent rescue scenes. I think it's a good idea but like... for a few reasons? First, li lianhua is experienced in fighting so he's not naive damsel in the way wu xie is, and he assumes he'll die so he doesn't really have major fear when he's in danger. Second, the whole tone of the show is more practical. I think the positive of this is we get really nice emotional scenes between the main trio that don't feel like jokes, and feel important as major relationships (which would also I guess be good for ships), and while it therefore doesn't really hit romance tropes (making bl potential scenes thankfully not get overt attention but also making it more vague, doing the same with women love interests so their scenes likewise feel less overtly intense as well) it does mean the weight of all scenes feels more balanced. I would compare it to how The Untamed handled all scenes romantic, platonic, familial in extremely similar ways in terms of feel. It made the romance stand out less, but it also meant the familial ties and friendship scenes felt Equally weighted. Which is a positive trait for this kind of show, I think, to weight all relationship types equally. While yeah it means ships of any kind become more subtle, I think it also makes all dynamics feel like they're closer to equal importance.

Fang duobing being a rich boy hypocrite is just The funniest fucking. It's so clear he's used to getting his way and it's part of why he grabbed li lianhua and didn't let go. He's got a mix of "genuinely wants to help people" that drives him to do good things like try to stop murderers and protect people until proven guilty and pursue evidence and the truth. Then he's also got that inherent quality of he's always gotten what he wants, he doesn't think he should ever Stop getting it. He's broke and starving, but only Very Nice tasting food he particularly craves is worth saying yes to. He's arrested? Use his family name and status and Baichuan courts sway to get himself free and bully the suspects into cooperating more. Li lianhua doesn't want him? Insist he's a Generous Hero for offering to protect/help li lianhua and no one should refuse such a Gift (so fang duobing simply won't be refused). A fei shows up and clearly has an existing (closer) relationship to li lianhua? Be a complete bitch to him to the point where it's leaning into harassment, try to chase him away, because if li lianhua is HIS then obviously he should be HIS more than he should be close to anyone else. Like an extremely territorial pet, he wants the most attention the most given to him from li lianhua and he does NOT want anyone to get as close to li lianhua as he is. Or at least as close as he Wishes he was (which is partners in solving cases and Life that travel the jianghu together... which... its fascinating he's really locked onto an "ordinary" person for this desire, you would think he'd want a martial arts master for that... but I think fang duobing enjoys feeling like the powerful one who can show off, impress, protect, and teach his partner... especially because his ego takes a hit with struggling to get into baichuan and being a subpar investigator compared to doctor li lianhua. It's clear fang duobing is used to being The Best, and while he wants to learn from li lianhua to fix his own shortcomings in investigating, he also probably appreciates he's BETTER at this ordinary man at things like fighting and it helps keep his ego from tanking. He could go find a jianghu martial arts master... but then they'd be better than him in All areas potentially. And then he'd just feel like shit. Hed rather have a teacher to learn from, who he can also feel NEEDS him. Fang duobing wants to be a hero, a damsel who repeatedly finds himself in danger is a great person for him to have around as it gives fang duobing repeated opportunities to show off how he's Valuable and Talented and Impressive and Needed by others. And oh boy... there's probably a LOT to say about how fang duobing grew up sick, weak, struggled to make progress and put in intense effort to be the best fighter of his age and best baichuan candidate, and how that pursuit means he really wants to Prove he's valuable outside of his family name. Because family name was all he started with, and he wanted to be like his uncle who proved himself Outside of the political system. He wanted to be like li xianyi who was a hero among those people, who even wanted to bring laws and justice to the jianghu, who treated fang duobing fairly and equally even as an ordinary weak young boy. Fang duobing INTENSELY desires to prove he's useful, needed, and has proven himself as capable in his own right. Li lianhua Feeds into those emotional needs a lot, and that alone would be enough for fang duobing to want to cling SO hard to him.)

Yeah more of just. How much I love fang duobing the lying liar who lies. He will be against tomb raiding but want a treasure to heal li lianhua. He will say he's fucking off and not going to bug former suspect li lianhua anymore then turn around and stalk him. He'll get told to leave and barge in and eat the man's fucking food. He is very set in getting what he wants, and he's not beyond doing whatever he wants to Get those things. Sure, he wouldn't kill someone or steal from a living person (at least not yet... he does have a lot of upstanding morals). But he's not above bullying an ordinary person who can't push back except intellectual, or trying to strong arm said intellectuals close friends to back the fuck off Fang Duobings PARTNER, or strong arm anyone who starts refusing him with whatever tools he's got (from his sword to his family's power to baichuan connections).

Writting patterns meme

Thank you @kingsandbastardz for the tag.

Although this is supposed to first lines of posted fic, I've already done that version recently - here

So these are from WIPs where I have something that will be probably be the first lines. Although this is first paragraph rather than first line.

New horizons sequel

Jinsha is a welcome sight, Song Lan thinks as the road descends from the wooded hills to the wide river valley, where the Juzhang river slowly winds its way eastwards.

2. Untitled beyond evil fic

The call arrives while Han Joowon is driving. The windscreen wipers fight against the incessant rain, while the headlights cut brightly through the winter night. The route and the reason for travelling is a familiar one these days. Manyang is like a second home, while the people there feel like the only real friends he's ever had

3. Jiang Cheng and Lan Wangji stuck in the xuanwu cave AU

It had been a split second decision to push Wei Wuxian, self-sacrificing fool that he is, into the water. He had already managed to get himself branded, and Jiang Cheng absolutely doesn’t want to see what other foolhardy thing he might do if he isn’t promptly moved out of harm’s way

4. Sangcheng spanking fic

“Next time you should spank me.”

For a moment Jiang Cheng isn’t sure that he has heard Nie Huaisang correctly. They are both for want of a better word fucked out. Sprawled on Huaisang’s ridiculously comfortable bed, sweat drying on their skin, bodies relaxed and warm in the afterglow of sex.

5. Di Feisheng nightmares/headaches as past (pre Di Fortress) memories come back.

It starts slowly. Everything has been peaceful, in fact Di Feisheng can’t remember a time when he has had less to do or less stress in his life.

The three of them live in the Lotus Tower. They farm and cook, they repair what needs repairing, they add what needs adding - such a bed sufficient to accommodate all three of them on the nights where that is what they need

6. Set in same time line as Under Moonlight and Soft as Snowfall - Li Lianhua’s peanut allergy resurfaces now he’s no longer poisoned

While the bridge at Xinqiao village (新桥村) would once have been new enough to give the village its name, now it is old and in need of repair. So much so that it creaks ominously as three of them, closely followed by Fox Spirit, cross it.

Beneath its ancient wooden span the slow, wide river winds its way eastwards to the sea

7. Also set in same time line as Under Moonlight and Soft as Snowfall - basically - Li Lianhua wakes up, other parts of him are awake too - unfortunately dfs is away until and no one seems to want to give him a few minutes peace to deal with it himself.

Waking up warm and comfortable is still a novel experience after so many years of ill health. Laying cocooned and snug in his blankets, Li Xiangyi isn’t entirely sure what has woken him so early. Nothing bad at least. Neither in reality or within his mind. The fact that he’s alone in his bed this morning is less pleasing however.

8. Wuyan backstory

Hands tied together he stumbles along with the other boys that have been taken (stolen, ripped away, seen them slaughtered) from their families and homes. He’s one of the older ones at eleven, but he’s always been small for his age and can easily be thought a year or two younger. It’s this that has kept him alive

9. Sea in Storm (au from East Sea battle - dfs becomes aware lxy is poisoned during the fight)

The sword pierces Li Xiangyi’s shoulder, but he doesn’t stop. Di Feisheng pushes it in further, keeping him down on the rain soaked deck, trying to get him to admit defeat. It’s wide blade and the damage it will cause will be severe were to go all the way through, but Di Feisheng knows that if he is to subdue Li Xiangyi, to make him stop long enough to both admit defeat and to listen to what he’s got to say then it will need to be.

10. Untitled (a couple of months or so pre study arc, Lan Wangji accidental sees Lan Xichen and Nie Mingjue)

He hadn't meant to see them. He truly hadn't expected anyone to be down at the cold springs, not with night having fallen and the moonlight only just starting to spill silvered light through the trees and onto the water.

There on the water's edge, their bare skin illuminated in the soft light are his Xiongzhang and the young leader of the Nie sect.

rarely any dialogue in first paragraph

As a lot of people have done this one, I'll leave it as a free tag for any one who wants to have a go.
