for all time/lovebrush chronicles boys as cliché tropes
Tumblr media
word count: 645
summary: lovebrush boys as cliche tropes !
Tumblr media
Ai Yin / Ayn - Competitors - Whaaat? Why not Clarence ?? HEAR ME OUT.
You're a musician. You're like the musician ever— probably a pianist just to piss him off. The two of you always tie first for piano competitions. There's no argument. If he's there, you're there. If he's first, you're first. The two of you are both prodigy pianists and there's no room for argument. Thus arises the issue. Your name is always followed by his— or his name is always followed by yours. You guys hate it. Or so you say. Because when you're missing from a competition for the first time in years, he's very much confused as to where you are, and it almost feels empty without you. Wha— what did he just say? That was definitely not him.
Lu Chen / Alkaid - Deskmates - oh that's so cliché (I know)
The two of you are paired up as deskmates for the year. It's a little awkward at first until you get used to him, and then it just breaks into everyone else eating dog food (third-wheeling). He brings you breakfast because you skip eating it, and you fix his tie when it's crooked... he always picks calls for you when he needs an extra hand, you always drop everything you have to help him... you two are practically dating. Which raises the question. are you dating? Or is Alkaid just taking care of you because he thinks you're forgetful and clumsy? The love letter slipped into your desk seems to say otherwise, though.
Luo Xia / Lars - Arranged Marriage - I didn't think this could get more cliché
You get arranged into a marriage with him for one reason— your family's going bankrupt, so they have to sell their only child to the Luos because like. Idk that's a cliché, it's a trope, IT'S HAPPENING TO YOU. PERIOD. At first you're like terrified and he's super scary and cold and lowkey kind of rude, but he still kind of cares since when you first move in, he has the servants move all of your stuff, and yu almost feel like you're home. He's just not very vocal about liking you though; so when your family's business breaks out of bankruptcy and you're told you can divorce him if you want, and then he's like "no please don't take my spouse from me ☹️" and then next thing you know you're being pampered to the moon and back. (You end up staying with him.)
Si Lan / Clarence - Love at First Sight - HEAR ME OUT ON THIS.
You're an unassuming new student at school, completely unbothered. You do not know he's the student council president. You're just at the nurse's office because your mom's the nurse or smth. Then, he's admitted into the office because he overworked himself on accident, and you're like "errrr I'll help. sure" And what does he see upon first waking up? You. The sun behind your head gives you a halo, and you look angelic. He thinks he's hallucinating. "God, did I die?" "Erm... not quite!" Then you nurse him back to health, and he's having a moment (he can't forget you) but dw you eventually end up together 👍
Ye Xuan / Cael - Brother's Best Friend - you did not (oh yes I did)
Cael, your brother's calm best friend who seems to have no interest in dating anyone at all. Cael, your brother's best friend who's been there for you as long as you can remember. Cael, your brother's best friend who helps you through college hell, voice calm and soothing as you cry about the homework. Cael, your brother's best friend who never lets himself slip when you're around (regardless of how bad he actually likes you) Cael, your brother's best friend who tries his best to resist you when you're on top of him, breath heavy with alcohol and almost drunk. Cael, your brother's best friend who doesn't fight it when you pull him in for a kiss at the door when he comes to check up on you the next day. and Cael, who can't say no to you when you spill out your feelings for him on paper, spilling out his own when you meet up with him.

Hello author its me the on who requested the Love after death in both part and the others... I finally have courage to reveal muself and no longer anonymous.
First of all before i request another one (sorry for being greedy) i wanted to thank you for responding to my requests especially the angsty ones, you never failed me to give a comfort and motivation, i cannot thank you enough for that.
And now for my request if you remember my other request about ei reader x ror characters that you can't write due to being unfamiliar to the character?
I will ask you instead to write a ror x demi godess freader. She commonly use a weapon like lu bu when fighting but once her weapon breaks or she found a very strong opponent she use her katana. She summon it like in the gif in below.
Now the fun part is how would the ror charcters react? Would they ended up having a nosebleeds, ended up shy or tease them?
Gods
Thor
Poseidon
Shiva
Rudra
Budhha
Zero
Beelzebub
Loki
Ares
Hermes
Aphrodite
Humans
Kojiro
Adam (platonic)
Hercules
Jack
Lu bu and chen gong
Raiden
Qin shu huang
You can choose who to write because i know there is a lot of them😅😅😅😅
Tumblr media
Ahh~ my sweet love, your angsty requests have been so much fun to write! I don’t mind you asking for another, you’re not being greedy, I’m just happy that you are patient while I write all these requests plus my own original works.
I do have one question however….
Why in the world does she have a sword between her titties?! I actually looked this up and watched the scene where she does this, and I’m just flabbergasted that she had it there!
-As a demi-goddess, you had the choice of fighting for either side, as both Zeus and Brunnhilde had approached you to fight, both knowing your skills as a fighter.
-You were initially going to refuse both of them, but after Zeus tried to command you, while Brunnhilde asked you, you chose to fight for humanity, not liking being commanded to do anything, something Zeus regrets as he lost a good fighter because he was so pushy with you!!
-Your opponent was strong, which excited you, as that meant you didn’t have to hold back!
-You swung your halberd with ease, and your opponent, Kand, a minor earth god, managed to snap the blade clean off, breaking your halberd.
-The other fighters and the audience in attendance called out in worry for you, as they didn’t want to lose someone like you, beautiful, powerful, and smart, you really were the whole package.
-Kand laughed at you, pointing a finger at you while he held his belly, “Can you still fight me Y/N?! Now that I’ve broken your only weapon!!”
-You glared and brought your hands up to your chest, “Who said that was my only weapon?”
-What could only be described as a black hole, opened at the top of your chest, on your cleavage, as you tilted your head back.
-A sword began to emerge from the black hole, glowing brightly as your hand lifted to the handle.
-Your eyes snapped open, glowing with power as you pulled out a beautiful katana from the magic black hole between your breasts, clutching it as the light faded.
-Kand was gawking, pointing rudely as his eyes were wide, “Where the heck did that come from?!”
-You charged at him, fast enough that it looked like you disappeared, before reappearing behind him as he fell, his head rolling off his shoulders.
-You pouted lightly, “It’s rude to ask a lady questions like that.”
-The crowds went wild, roaring loudly.
-Thor- Was stunned on how quickly the match ended, able to see that your katana was your true weapon, you were good with the halberd, but there was something natural about you holding a sword. He blinked once or twice, confused on how you were hiding that sword.
-Poseidon- Eyes widened only just slightly before relaxing as he watched you pull your sword out, before his amusement grew with how easily you took care of that weaker, cocky god. It made him curious about how strong you actually were.
-Shiva- Immediately turned to his wives, who were cheering for you, “Can you really hide stuff in your chest like that?” they just giggled, like they had a secret as Parvati spoke, “That’s a woman only secret~” but all three were impressed with your skills.
-Rudra- Eyes went wide when your halberd broke, but when the sword started to emerge from your chest, his jaw dropped, mouth hanging open before you pulled that out, completely stunned on where you got that sword!
-Buddha- Smirked, moving his lollipop to the other side of his mouth, finding it alluring and could instantly tell that your sword was your true weapon as you ended the fight so quickly after pulling it out. Then had to ruffle Zerofuku’s hair after the boy asked him if he had anything like that between his chest.
-Zerofuku- Was confused as to why you had a sword between your chest. He looked up at Buddha who had a big chest, wondering if he had anything between his own which got his hair ruffled by the taller god.
-Beelzebub- Was more intrigued with the magic that appeared there first, curious as to what it was. Froze, eyes wide when he saw you pulling the sword from your body, unable to look away.
-Loki- Looking disrespectfully, gawking with his tongue lolled out, full blush on his face as he could only gawk in awe. He wanted to get a closer look~
-Zeus- Cheering loudly, leading the charge of the cheers of the arena. He had never seen anything like it and he was so excited!!
-Ares- His whole head was bright red, staring shamelessly, blood dripping from his nose as he couldn’t believe what he just watched, gripping the arms of the chair tightly.
-Hermes- Amused by Ares’ reaction just a bit more, but was stunned with the magic that you used and even more so when he saw how big the actual sword was.
-Aphrodite- Giggled softly, hiding her mouth behind her hand, amused to see the reactions of others, but as a large chested woman herself, she knew well that any woman could hide things between or under her boobs, like knives~
-Hercules- Lifted a hand to his face to hide his blush, embarrassed to stare at you in such a way, but couldn’t take his eyes off of you, especially when you handled your opponent so easily.
-Kojiro- His face was bright red, watching you pull that from your chest, but he immediately focused on your form, his eyes widening as he saw you move, being one of a handful that was able to keep up with your moves.
-Jack- Was staring before he started, his cheeks warming as he turned, being a gentleman, not wanting to gawk at a young lady such as yourself in such a way. Was impressed with your skills with the sword however.
-Lu Bu- Could sense the power radiating from you, a feral grin appearing on his lips, wanting to fight you himself. However, he was one of the few that wasn’t bothered where you had your sword stashed.
-Chen Gong- Unlike his lord, as soon as you pulled that sword out he flew back, blood spurting from his nose, twitching on the ground. He didn’t even see the end of the fight.
-Raiden- A bright grin on his face as he watched you pull your weapon out, delight on his face as he found it attractive, “What a woman!” cheered loudly with the rest of the crowd.
-Qin Shi Huang- A bright smile on his face as he watched the scene, amazed by the magic that had appeared, wanting to know more about it, but very pleased watching the show.
-Adam- The time from when you pulled your sword out to being announced the winner was only about five seconds, but he was instantly glaring, exerting his pressure to those around him as he glared at them, ready to throw hands and lay waste to those who would say anything impure about his precious daughter!!

What do you think RoR characters would be cancelled for? Part 2
Here we go again☀️
Tumblr media
Lu Bu: probably explicit violence and torture, everyday stuff yk...yeah-
Chen Gong: too much simping, like bro, Lu Bu must have reported you for stalking
Adam and Eve: nudism, and by Adam probably also opposition to the forces of order, he even punched the cops
Kojiro: invasion of private property. You will have built a cabin at random in private territory, at least next time check if it's free geez
Heracles: violence against animals, I'm sorry but Hades did not take well the defeat of Cerberus
Shiva: public indecency, explicit violence and more! He got into so many bar fights that he was banned everywhere, and he in return he declared war on every state he was exiled from
Buddha: I don't even waste time listing his crimes; just know that, in case he asks you to go on an adventure with him, LEAVE HIM ALONE AND RUN- He's the type to drag you to jail with him, if one falls the other does too
Hajun: murder, torture, violence.
Qin Shi Huang: reported for irritability. Hades once said: "I give you a super philosophical speech on the life of a ruler, I open my heart to you and you only answer me with "Hăo!"
Beelzebub: this evil fly has more crimes than soul, please officer take him away. Lock him in a cell and throw away the key

After Last Night
Waking up with him after a hookup
Pt. 1 | Pt. 2 |
FAT/LBC men x gn reader (William Included for all my Aris out there)
CW: very suggestive, maybe dubcon?? (Mentioned that Lars and reader were both drunk in his)
A/N: waking up with cael is waking up behind bars thats croomf, groomf even 😭😭😭 im jp u dk him since ur childhood here ok this is a safe space
Edit: Alkaid rewrite 🥶🥶
Tumblr media
more utc
Tumblr media
LARS / LUO XIA (罗夏)
- SCENARIO: You’re in a similar or complementary industry to him and he’s had his eye on you a bit, admiring how you present yourself but you never really became too closely acquainted. One crazy night of drinking during a negotiations meeting later and two lonely busy old people get busy (30 isnt old sorry. Uncalled for)
- You wake up first; he is KNOCKED OUT
- He wakes up with the wildest bedhead normally and even moreso today. He’s drooling and sprawled out across the couch with a loose hold on your body (Just his arm slung around you as he sleeps)
- His grip on you tightens if you try to leave the couch but if you’re insistent he’ll just let you go; whine grumbles about it in his sleep
- He has work and he’s very busy so he’ll have to leave soon but he wants to make it up to you because he wasn’t being professional; he makes the effort to at least chat or have breakfast with you before leaving which you don’t mind since you’re busy as well
- He usually doesn’t do hookups since he’s busy, doesn’t want to lead anyone on and knows he’ll get attached too easily so he rlly dk what happened, he was lonely but ayayay this is a mess. He does his absolute best to make things less awkward for you
- This scenario would actually be so wild bc if you wanted to do it again while sober I don’t think he’d say no LOL as soon as you had breakfast/chatted he started to like you even more I think and remembers last night being really great so
- I don’t think he’d initiate it if you did do it again though because he feels really bad about being unprofessional but ever since that night if he ever sees you his eyes are glued to you, your body and all its curves and/or edges; he’s so distracted help him 😭😭
- It’s even worse if he’s pent up, he actually will just. Avoid you if you don’t assure him it’s alright he doesn’t want to be weird and he knows he wont be able to focus so he gets a little nervous around you from then on
Tumblr media
ALKAID / LU CHEN (路辰)
- SCENARIO: You’re his classmate and more importantly, his film dealer. You’ve been selling him film and camera repairs for a pretty good price compared to how high the quality is from a small shop that doesn’t get too much traction because it’s more of an antique shop but you do offer more. He was usually standardly polite and short maybe with an extra question out of curiosity here and there before becoming a regular over time. You eventually started tacking on a few more comments and questions than necessary but not so many that it’s noticeable, chatting him up a bit im class as well until you started actively seeking him out, being curious about him and you two became friends. Since this is an edit I’m gonna say like Ayn, you’re probably already in a situationship by the time you hook up but unlike Ayn you haven’t kissed yet (he’d at least ask you out or vice versa before kissing i think) You were over at his apartment to study and help bathe Sparkle; just generally hang out and after a PAINFUL amount of tension building with playful comments and little touches so much so that you ended up kissing him and one thing lead to another !!
- You wake up first but likely go back to sleep and he wakes up during that time tbh. I feel like his home is cozy as hell not to mention Sparkle climbing up and cuddling with you
- He let you wear his clothes to bed since yours got messy and he noticed that you were shivering, freezing from wearing. Well. Nothing. So he let you borrow something and his entire face is red including his ears an neck, it’s quite a view— both you and him
- He ghosts his thumb over your features, his gentle touch almost unnoticeable as he notes each unique thing about you as if trying to identify different stars in the sky
- You had already cuddled up to him in your sleep and he lays in bed with you in his loose embrace for an absurd amount of time until he decides his heart has had enough and gets up to make you both breakfast, you stirring a bit in your sleep in the process
- He kept trying to find an opportunity to get up before but you clung to him so he couldn’t find it in himself to leave you gn but when he did eventually get up he just kissed the crown of your head and gently pulled your arms off of him, then laying you down
- His bed head is just his normal hair honestly and he doesn’t move too much, just snores a little bit and slightly drools
- He’s embarrassed the rest of the day, his usual charismatic persona failing on him when he needs it most and he’s a bit nervous not knowing if you’d felt the same as him or if it was just lust. Though all that is quickly nipped in the bud when you give him a kiss on the cheek and confess properly, holding his hands in yours
- Deciding he’s wasted enough time being a dork He offers to take you on your first date in a nearby cafe since it was pretty impromptu but he still says it with a helpless smile and slight blush. On this date he def took pictures and has them pinned on his wall; they’ll quickly become some of his most prized photos
Tumblr media
CLARENCE / SI LAN (司岚)
- SCENARIO: You two went to the same high school all four years and maybe even the same middle school at some point but you never really interacted because he was busy with schoolwork and so were you so you really never felt the need to bother him. Little did you know Clarence had the biggest crush on you since you met and after being acquainted through the student council you became friends. Upon growing closer and some worrying about how little he relaxes later and you mayyy have accidentally made out with him a little in the council room after hours 🥺 then took it back to your apartment 🥺🥺 and ended up sleeping together 🥺🥺🥺
- He wakes up first and just stares at the ceiling. how did this happen oh my god. Not in a bad way but oh my GOD. -Clarence
- He’s so embarrassed by last night especially with his own behavior. Just remembering the sounds he made and the words he said has him reeling; he must’ve told you he loved you 100,000 times
- he just stays completely still hoping you’re still asleep and once you wake up he shuts his eyes so fast kind of trying to pretend to be asleep but with how tightly his eyes and lips are shut you know he’s awake
- You give him a little kiss on his eyelids and lips and he knows he’s caught; he blushes but then kind of just lets a small exasperated smile wash over his face; he really doesn’t know what to do
- His bedhead is basically the same as his normal but more messy around the bangs also he snores a tiny bit but thats pretty much it
- He’s pretty happy and normal when he isn’t thinking about the specifics of last night’s events
- He even goes ahead and makes breakfast for you and him as well as his cats (they’re probably the ones who woke yall up lol)
- He doesn’t do hook ups and he’s liked you so long so he reaalllly realllllllllyyyyy hopes you’ll consider getting to know him more and let him take you out on a couple dates because even if his hands are clammy the whole time he’d be so happy
Tumblr media
WILLIAM / CHEN ZIHAN (陈子涵)
- SCENARIO: You two have always been best friends with no question of whether or not your feelings were platonic. Well he had no question. You on the other hand had been crushing on him for a while now but didn’t want to ruin the friendship. That was until college. He started noticing you more and your qualities: how you’ve matured and how you’re there when no one else is, so his feelings have gotten a little bit more than just platonic. He justified it as appreciation and normal friend things all the way up until you two suddenly decided to “test out” what kissing and making out would be like. Platonically of course. Since neither of you had ever been in a serious relationship. The sex part was just testing too, trust 🙏
- You wake up first but that doesn’t stop him from having an existential crisis when he wakes up
- You’re excited although a bit nervous from anticipation honestly since you already knew your feelings were not platonic but you didn’t know what he’d think so instead of worrying you just poke his face and admire him sleeping
- His bedhead is crazy, some of his hair sticks up and he has a pool of drool under him. He snores too— finally getting to release his feelings has him K.Od it was tew good
- You go to make breakfast or shower or something and he’d probably wake up during that time bc he doesn’t feel your warmth anymore
- Like Clarence, Liam wakes up perplexed and embarrassed and he’s worried he may have crossed a line doing what he did last night since you were supposed to be just friends! He’s freaking out so bad! come back he needs reassurance 😭
- When you get back he’s so apologetic and is just so nervous around you until you broach the subject, reassuring him that you don’t mind what happened
- After you sort out your thoughts on what happened and have a loooong talk about it you’re pretty much back to being normal and you even hang out for a bit longer, watching some movies and baking together although he does still blush and fumble his words around you a little
- He’s scared to tell you he would rather be yours than be your fwb (friend with benefits) bc this is his first hookup but considering he’s been your best friend and crush for so long you feel the same way so you end up dating pretty soon after

Snv! Lu Bu x Seductive! Reader
For the record, this is purely self-indulgent for me as I love that feral man!
Tumblr media
- First and foremost, you two are gonna get side eyes and looks! Nobody has no clue how you two are together, with him being all feral and brutish while you are siren eyes and sparkles!
- Lu bu was initially attracted to your demeanor how you demand attention with your presence and how you take nothing from nobody but he fell in love with your sweet nature and how you're always so confident in him!
- You have no problems telling everyone you're together, and you're often seen hanging off his arm and will defend him to the ends of the heavens!
- Lu Bu will take you out to watch him train and / or train you to defend yourself when he's not around, though he's stoic and can get intense it's a fun time since he knows your not as strong as he is and is more gentle with you!
- In turn, you take him shopping with you he will hold all of your shopping bags without complaint and likes showing off his strength! Modeling clothing for him is a must, and he will greatly appreciate it! Man will practically throw money at anything you look at you want it, it's yours as I believe he'd have a lot of money as a war general!
- You get real touchy with him, always caressing him and telling him how gorgeous he is to you. He adores your praise! You once gushed to your friends about him over the phone, and he could almost swore he heard wedding bells!
- Other people and gods claim to have no clue what you see in him since their impression of him is a feral beast of a man that is always two seconds away from a rampage. Their not completely wrong but you like that feral side to him it makes for a very fun time (especially at night~).
- But you know there's more to him than that, and you will fight anyone who dares to talk down to your man! He will also bash anyone who talks down to you either. Yall are wild, but you're wild together and wouldn't trade each other for the world!
- He's not the most romantic guy out there and not really the best with his words, so he often shows you through action, either holding you close or gently biting you (you can't tell me he doesn't love bite during intimate moments) not to hurt but to mark you as his and since he knows you love it when he gets a bit playful!
- Your top supporters are Chen and lu bu's army they adore having you around since you make Lu Bu happy and because you're very sweet and help them convey things to lu bu that they're a bit too nervous to!
- Cuddling in bed is a must no matter how busy he is, he will always take time to hold you close and show you how much you mean to him!
- Since you are pretty seductive, a lot of people tend to take it the wrong way and believe your flirting even though you were just being nice and may attempt to pursue you further so yeah you've had a few stalkers in your life but lucky for you lu bu is now in the picture so all you have to do is say the word and your man is taking care of the issue!
- Overall, it's a very loving relationship despite what anyone thinks, and you'll go to the ends of the earth for each other! He's yours and your his!
_________________________________________
Thanks for reading, and let me know if you all want more, Lu bu! Have a great day! -Neo☆

Brushing off your clothes you walked out of the medical tent exhausted. Your fingers felt numb, and your arms ached, but you still needed to fetch more fresh water to cleanse the wounded. It had been a long day of patching up the soldiers from the latest battle and you still hadn’t even finished. At this point you didn’t even know how large the army was, only that Lord Lu Bu was getting more powerful each passing day and there weren’t enough people with medical knowledge to keep things functioning. 
“Are you done now?!” An enthusiastic voice cut through your thoughts as someone crashed into you, pulling you into a big hug. “Let us celebrate our Lord’s victory! Together!” You knew who it was as he pressed his lips to your cheek.
“Chen Gong, not yet,” you pushed him back gently.
“Not yet!?” The look on his face went from overly cheerful to sad. He almost looked as if he wanted to cry. “They’ve had you all day!” He whined slightly, “It’s time to celebrate!” Honestly, his demeanor was such a contrast to Lu Bu’s it almost made you laugh.
“You can go with the others. There’s still men I need to tend to…” You raised your hand brushing his cheek gently, before trying to pull away so you could walk back toward the river.
“No,” Chen Gong pulled you back in closer. His bangs tickled your face as he leaned over you with a stern look. It was rare, but he was serious for once, sort of... You watched his emotions morph on his face. He went from stern to somewhat pouty in only a few second. “I’m sure we can find someone else to take over for a bit. You don’t have to take care of all of them...” He inched ever closer, grip tightening as his voice dropped. “Tend to me instead.”
A blush blossomed on your cheeks at his words. “Are you jealou-?!” You gasped, dropping the bucket as he quickly threw you over his shoulder. Despite how small he was standing next to Lu Bu, he was still so strong. “Anyway! I’ve waited long enough!” His voice returned back to his usual cheerful and loud one. “We’re going to be together! I won’t hand you over to anyone! Not even if Lord Lu Bu himself requested it!” And with that he had made up both your minds, turning on his heel, carrying you off to who knows where. You looked at the bucket, then to the medical tent where a small audience had gathered peeking through the entryway. The smirks and grins that stared back were enough to let you know that they’d be fine without you. Honestly, Chen Gong’s ability to persuade was like none you had ever seen.

“Boys?” You questioned as you walked on the tennis field before noticing them. Some of them were on the ground, others sitting on the benches. 
“Why do you all look so upset and tired..?” You questioned and they looked up before one of them pointed at a white board further down. You frowned at the board before realizing.
“He left...” You mumbled before sitting down next to Qiao Chen and you looked at the rest again.
“So, even more reason for you you guys to win.” You spoke and they nodded, agreeing with your statement.
The next few months were rather hard for you. Although, you could text him or video call, it just wasn’t the same at all. You felt lonely and the time difference also didn’t help at all. You knew that the boys had it somewhat difficult with his leave, even when they pretended that they didn’t so you took the roll of Siyang in a matter of speaking.
“Is he going to win..?” You heard someone question as you watched Lu Xia play against Tian ZiLong. You looked to the side, seeing everyone on the edge of their seat. You chuckled before turning back to the match before watching Lu Xia fall to the ground.
“Yu Qing wins. The final score is 7-5!” The referee yelled and your eyes widen.
“We won...” You heard Qiao Chen mumble before they all jumped up, cheering loudly with the crowd joining in soon after. They rushed to Lu Xia, lifting him in the air and you laughed as you watched them do so.
A few days passed and you were now eating in the tennis room. The boys were all eating their food as they talked. You heard someone clear their throat and turned your head to see Baiyang and Qiao Chen walk in.
“Good news for everyone...” “Hey!” Jiale raised his arm and Qiao Chen stopped his speech.
“Please stop, it’s the 5th time you’re supposedly announcing good new. I can’t even finish my food here.” “Hey, do you know what I am about to say?” Chen complained as he sat down and Jiale turned around.
“It’s about us getting a wild card. We’re advancing to the nationals, we will encounter Xing Yao and Hai Guang again.” Jiale spoke and you shook your head.
“Well, obviously not. We already know that. What is it?” You spoke and Qiao Chen smiled.
“Take a guess, I’ll tell you after you take a guess.” He said and you laughed, shaking your head as you leaned back in your seat. Jiale pondered for a second before being interrupted by Baiyang.
“The captain is coming back.” Everyone froze as he said this before looking at Baiyang. Your eyes widen as you pondered for a second, wondering why he hadn’t told you. While the others argued, you just sat back and continuing to eat your food.
Another week passed until he returned. The boys had planned a whole video that they’d show the day he’d returned. It was the day before that day and you were just at home since it was Sunday. Your books were spread over your desk as you made your notes until you heard your phone ring. You looked up, taking your phone from your bed before opening it to see a message from Siyang. Opening it, you smiled.
‘Look outside’
You stood up before opening the curtains and seeing Siyang leaning against a wall, phone in his hand and wearing a blue suit with a white shirt underneath it. You looked at him for a few seconds before looking at yourself. You were dressed in just a big t-shirt and chuckled. you opened your closet and dressing in some jeans and a blue crop top. You rushed downstairs, putting your shoes before taking your bag and leaving the room. You stalked towards Siyang before pulling his phone away.
“Hey.” You greeted and he gave you a smile, pulling his phone back from your grip. Without warning, you just hugged him tightly. You could hear him chuckle as he wrapped his arms around you as well.
“Next time you’re leaving, I’m dumping your ass.” You mumbled as you looked up. He rolled his eyes before kissing your forehead. You frowned before standing on your tiptoes and kissing him.
“i missed you.” You said afterwards and he smiled.
“I missed you too.” He spoke and you smiled before taking his hands.
“Great, now let’s do something so I didn’t dress up for nothing!”

summary: you bloom a fairy with dandelion hair and peridot eyes
Tumblr media
Pixie dust comes in small quantities at once.
You would argue for more, but there isn't much left for the common folk after the royals take everything for themselves. You work with what you can to fix what you can, and people tend to stay away from the sketchier areas of the city— your shop included. It's nice to be able to make just enough profit to live. Perhaps it was a stroke of luck, perhaps it was fate, but when you fix small things for curious children on the street for a flower or cookie, everything is worth it.
You do not care for bigger matters, and you do not care for an excess of anything.
To live in moderation... is sufficient.
You spend your day dealing with plants and machinery, making a living off of what you can, a little bit of this and a little bit of that keeping your day to day amusing. To live is to be happy, you find. You cannot be happy until you truly live. Perhaps two sides of the same coin? You do not find that you care all that much. You are content with what you have, white lilies blooming outside on your flowerbed, magic tinkering with older toys that are out of production, the slow life of the slums sliding by in your day to day life. You are content with where you are, and you shall continue living like this until you are old and wrinkly and can no longer move. Then, you shall return to the dirt your precious lilies adore so much.
You fix the toy in the child's hand while at the market, lips curled into a sweet smile as he beams.
"Have you brought something as payment?"
"This!" The child, surprisingly, holds up a potted white lily, bulb slightly fuller than the ones you regularly tend to, and you take it from him. "I saw the lilies outside of your place, and my older brother had this lying around in his room, so I thought I'd give it to you."
You blink, raising a brow in amusement, laughing. "Will he be mad you gave it away?"
"He was doing a terrible job at raising it, so I would say it's better with you." The kid shrugs. "Don't tell him, though. He's been missing for a while..."
"Ah." You mumble. It wasn't uncommon for the men in the slums to go missing. It was even more common for women to disappear overnight. The slave trade was especially prominent in the slums. One wrong move could result in a whole family disappearing overnight. You wonder if that was what happened to the old owner of the store. Well, it doesn't matter all that much. It's thanks to their disappearance that you managed to find a place to stay in the slums rather than the capital. Though... as you put the plant down on the first floor, sprinkling the fairy dust onto the flower with some water, and you watch as the plant shudders, reacting to it.
"You don't like it?" You tilt your head. Pause. Why is the plant reacting to the fairy dust so visibly.
The flower doesn't respond, so you set it by the window, shutting the blinds to the first floor as you head upstairs to fall asleep.
Maybe you're just tired.
You are not.
You wake up the next morning and feed your flowers, pausing when you notice the new flower is even bigger, and you tilt your head, sprinkling more pixie dust onto it as it reacts again, and you blink at it again, sighing. It is not your problem. You don't care. Not enough, at least. You water the flower, finish with the rest, and go back to your day to day routine. You are content with this life. You are happy with fixing old toys and watering the leftover lilies in the abandoned residence you took over, and that is all you will be doing. There will be nothing else to break your day to day schedule, not even some sentient flower that hisses at you each time you feed it fairy dust. At least the other flowers don't react.
The addition of the new plant is interesting to you. The child who gave it to you eventually is taken away by the slave traders— something that you have found no longer matters to you. They will eventually end up back in your household anyway. At the very least, you hope the child reunites with his brother. Instead, the young girl staying with the two of them bids you goodbye as she is adopted away, and you stare at the noble family that has adopted her. May she find peace, you whisper to yourself. The other children start visiting less, and you assume it is because your mentor will soon be making his return and visiting.
So, you water the new plant, ditching the regular pixie dust and settling for the pink one instead, finding that your particularly picky unbloomed flower prefers it to the regular one. Picky asshole. Yet, you whistle and look the other way as you water it, making rounds down to the orphanages for broken toys and replace them with fixed ones, the children treating you to a portion of their meals, making you laugh. You tell them you do not need their food, handing them each their own treat instead, leaving early and returning home, your continuously growing flower and garden of white lilies greeting you. It is a sight that you are fond of.
It falls into a pattern until it suddenly does not.
Your mentor visit first, observing the flowers and the particularly large one on your windowsill but not mentioning anything, as mysterious as he always has been. He leaves you with some more pixie dust and enough coins to survive, and he is gone with the wind again. You find that you will never quite understand the lives of nobles despite being of their blood yourself. You will never understand why there is a hunger for more and more until they have nothing left, and why they would crave so much. Though, it does not bother you. You are content with your life and the repetition you have brought into your schedule.
You are content with it until it is broken.
You wake up one morning to a blossomed lily and a small fairy sitting by your windowsill and staring at the white lilies, and you do a double take.
Clean daffodil hair and peridot eyes. Glass butterfly wings with a rainbow reflection. Small in stature yet a charming gaze. You peer down at your little visitor and then at the lily that has finally bloomed, and you reach for a small peridot in your pocket, tilting your head as you hold it out to him as an offering. He cranes his neck to the side, not accepting your stone, and you rummage for another one. It is not uncommon for you to meet fairies, and most require a sort of greeting gift, so you find it surprising that a fairy would not take a stone that matches their eyes. You find an opal instead, holding it out for the fairy as he inspects it and accepts the gift, flying right before your eyes to inspect you.
"Hi?" You lean slightly back as he flutters forward.
He blinks twice.
"Ah, you're the nonverbal kind." You hum, taking a step back as you bow lightly. "Were you stuck in the flower?"
The fairy nods.
"Will you be staying?"
He nods again.
"Then I look forward to making your acquaintance." You bow again.
The sound of gentle wind chimes indicate the fairy's mutual agreement.
You forget some days this is the same asshole who shuddered at regular pixie dust. He helps around the place, sprinkling his own pixie dust onto the white lilies and finding fallen screws on the ground for you, almost always holding his hand out for a small treat after, something you've stocked up on. You find it strange that he does not feed on nectar the same way the other fairies do, but you don't complain when he helps around the house. He knows every nook and cranny as though he had been born for the place, and you find that he is equally helpful. He's giving you a lot less attitude now. Perhaps the hardest part was simply helping him bloom.
He sits by you when you have your dinner, popping the bubbles that manage to flutter into the air when you do the dishes, sitting by your bedside and helping you blow out the candles when it is time for you to rest. Sometimes, you find that he manages to open the windows for you in the morning. You wonder just how much strength a fairy can have, but you refuse to question it. Ignorance is bliss to a certain degree, and you are plenty content with knowing barely anything about your small friend. If he does not reveal it, then you can live without knowing.
You bring the fairy with you out to the market after a handful of weeks, letting the small thing pick out any new plants to add to his collection (which you find strange considering he can only help sprinkle pixie dust), but he picks out succulents instead, flowers that require minimal water. You find that he's still quite picky, having you only water the plants a certain amount each day, and you make him a small watering can of his own so he can do whatever he wills with it. (It does not help. He still pulls on your sleeve to have you water the plants instead of him. Annoying.) Though, as annoying as you find it at times, he is an overall pleasant person to have around.
You learn that he's particularly inclined for treats, always asking for a bite of your food, even if it means sticking one of his fingers into your bowl and licking it. He does not do well with spice, so you put aside a small bowl for him before you add anything, and he digests it while you continue cooking, flavors mixed into your food. He prefers sugar, so you make sure to triple lock the sugar jar, finding that it's always opened in the morning anyway (seriously. where is he getting the strength) and you try to scold him, but you can't resist the way he pouts at you, closing your eyes as you groan and continue to scold him. Curse him and his squishy cheeks.
"Really!" You sigh. "Stop breaking into the sugar jar!"
The fairy pouts at you, looking down and kicking dejectedly.
"Seriously. You're going to pass away from an overconsumption. How are you not going to eat nectar and only consume candy and then try to have even more?!"
The sound of wind indicates his annoyance.
"No."
He looks up at you from the table, folding his arms.
"Still no. I don't want you to pass away. How does a fairy diet even work?"
The fairy points at the sugar jar.
"No." You point at him. "No more."
You swear you hear him 'hmph' at you.
You find that you still don't know the fairy's name, and you no longer remember if it was because their names held power or this particular fairy was just out to make you struggle as much as you can to communicate with him. Maybe he just enjoys watching you not look him in the eye when he's being scolded. He's annoying (you tell yourself).
Though, when the children start visiting again, you find that your small friend sits on your head or shoulder, peering down curiously at the children who trade you old toys for fixed ones, eyes big as they ask who the small creature on your shoulder is. When you tell them it's a fairy, they almost always ask if they can touch him. The creature hides further behind you when they ask, and you shake your head no. You tell them another time, but knowing the fairy, he's never going to let them touch him. You find that not even you are allowed to touch the small thing and that he flies away almost always, wings tinted a peachy pink as you imitate the pout he likes giving you.
You wonder if he just hates you.
Though, you find that it's only with you. After a while, he warms up to the children, going as far as to flying above them and letting the gentler ones hold him, and you scoff. Maybe he just hates you. You try to grab him when one of the kids reach for his wings, and he flinches away from you, wings turning pink again. You gape at him in offense, letting him suffer as the child brushes over his wings, squeaks squeezing past his lips as he struggles to get back to you with a panicked look on his face.
"Will you let me touch you?" You hold your hand out, freeing his wings from the sticky hands, and the fairy sits in your hair with a whine, terrified of the children he had wanted to play with.
"Aw." The boy frowns. "Does he not like me?"
"Try not to touch his wings next time." You hum, handing the fixed toy to him. "How are the others?"
"The mister is letting us roam again since the master is out of the land again." The boy hands you a small bag. "I stole that from the headmaster's room."
You blink as you open it, pausing at the blue pixie dust that sparkles in the bag. "Blue pixie dust? You'll get whipped if he finds out."
"It's fine. They found a noble family to adopt me into." The boy blinks. "Will you let me write you letters?"
"Of course." You hum. "If anything arises—"
"I will let the master know." He hums. "Will I see you again, then?"
"No promises." You hum. "It would be hard to make promises."
The boy nods. "Bye bye, mister fairy!"
The creature in your hair waves goodbye, wind chimes sounding.
You lost another one. When winter falls, the children stop visiting altogether, and you watch as your lilies wilt and fall asleep for the time, watching as your fairy shivers and sticks close to your skin, even while you cook, wings sparkling on the back of your neck as you pour him a small bowl of soup to enjoy and maybe warm up with— only to fail. He crawls into your sleeve with a frown, peeking his head out as you tap his forehead twice.
"Cold?"
He nods.
"Can't afford heating, sorry—"
You hear him kick in your sleeve in complaint, but you don't address it.
And you fall into a steady day to day rhythm again. You wake up, feed two mouths (one tiny one normal) and sit in your workshop fiddling with the toys, holding up the new batch of gems that your master has sent you to the light for inspection. You do not understand it, but you do it anyway, leaving out a smaller one for the fairy to play with. You wonder if you still need to buy his favor in order to be able to touch him. Besides, would it make sense? Perhaps your little guest is waiting for spring to arrive since he had bloomed during summer. Perhaps he will leave then.
He does not.
When spring arrives, you wake up to a naked man in your bed and scream. You fall off your bed with widened eyes, hands flying to your chest to check if you still have clothes on, reaching for the knife on your nightstand as you stare at the fairy.
"I am... safe." He nods slowly, holding both of his hands up.
"How did you get in?!" You shake slightly.
He tilts his head, and you stop when you hear the wind chime.
No. No fucking way.
He smiles.
ASSHOLE. ITS THE FAIRY.
"Oh, hell no." You throw the knife to the side and throw a pillow at him. "How did you grow. Is this a sign? Is it because it's spring? You fairies better not have mating seasons. I'm kicking you out if you do."
He blinks at you, eyes wide, innocently.
"Yes or no?"
He shakes his head.
You relax only then, groaning as the birds chirp outside of the open window. You can worry about groceries later, but for the time being... your eyes trail to the man's abdomen, falling lower and lower until you realize that you definitely need to go out today because other than the fact that his fairy clothes have sized up slightly, the skirt made of leaves definitely does not help him cover anything. You'd have to keep your windows closed for the day. Some poor rich woman might catch the way his body is built and ask to buy him from you or something. The thought alone makes you shudder.
"Stay put." You point at him and then at the bed, and you shut the windows, close the blinds, light a candle, and lock him in your bedroom. Well, it could be worse. You buy what you can for him, a pair of shoes, some semblance of clothing (two sets so he has something to change into) and some more food because... you're feeding two mouthes now. Seriously. You better get paid soon because if that stupid duke of the land doesn't come back. Well, calling your mentor would be a little... rude. The land is his in name yours in legality. Though, considering the two of you are both immortal, it matters very little in reality. As long as the land is prosperous, you do not care.
Your mother died of heartbreak, your father died of mortality, leaving you with your mother's curse of immortality.
You don't know what to make of it, and you no longer care for it.
You return home with the clothes, handing them to the man (fairy? human? creature? humanoid?) to change into, to which he obeys, turning around to change. You wonder if he'll be good at anything or if he's just going to cause problems around like he did when he was a fairy well, cause problems is an overstatement. You wonder if he's going to be a picky eater again. Perhaps he'll lounge around— you're practically praying for him to keep his household habits from when he was a fairy now. Maybe you will have some strange stroke of luck.
And strange stroke of luck you have— the man helps around the house, waking before you, watering your lilies and making breakfast, sitting at the floor of your bed, head tilted as he bats his lashes at you when you wake up, scaring you half the time and worrying you the other. You find it oddly domestic of him. A man whom you do not know the name of, a fairy who bloomed from the flower stolen by a young boy, some... dude who you've just been living with. You really wonder if he has a name, but from the looks of it, he doesn't seem to be able to... speak? You wonder if he could write, but he hasn't tried communicating to you that way either. Instead, he pulls on your sleeve and gives you the most innocent bat of his lashes, and seems to telepathically tell you what he needs. You wonder if you just picked up on his body language from when he was a fairy with how you seem to know everything he needs or wants.
You still choose to ignore him when he blinks at your with stars in his eyes for more candy while shopping for food. He may come off as perfect to many, but you find that the vast majority of it comes from a facade. You squint your eyes at him, pointing at him as one would with a disobedient puppy. "No," you tell him, and he puffs his cheeks and pouts at you (something that hasn't changed from when he was a fairy) and continue following after you as you bargain over the food. He remains with a slight frown for the rest of the day, and he won't feel better until after sleep. You pick up on that equally quickly. You find that he just likes pretending to be perfect— something you are visibly not. You don't know how many times you've accidentally broken a plate when he crept up on you as a fairy.
Yet, you get used to him too, finding that it's nice to have a random dude who does the chores and cooks around, and you quickly find out why the nobles like slouching around and shopping all day. It's the boredom. So, you kick the guy out of cleaning the place and watering the flowers, and the poor man stares at you like a kicked puppy— as if he's done something wrong for trying to pamper you. You try and explain that it's because you need to do something around the cottage or else you'll end up bored out of your mind and insane. He doesn't get it, but he lets you water the flowers at the very least. You also get to do the grocery shopping still. He may not be picky anymore, but you find that he seems to add things you do not even remember buying into your food.
"No red peppers." You point at him. "No."
He blinks at you.
Some days, you really want to strangle him for weaponizing his incompetence. Though, as you chide him for trying to sneak peppers into your basket, you find that he might just really like eating peppers. No. There was no way. This was the same fairy who was huffing when you added just a bit of wasabi into your food. You squint at him, and he puts it back, smiling apologetically to the sweet old woman who gushes over his face. You wonder how far that face card could get him. You wonder if you could get the approval of your mentor... he would probably just kick him out, though. The thought almost makes you laugh.
Though, when the man is shoved a bouquet of flowers into his arms by some passerby girl, you can only pull your lips up in amusement. He blinks in confusion as the girl runs back to her friends, and he takes a step back, hiding behind you (still visible, much different from when he was a fairy), and you stifle laugh. He takes your hand quietly, bottom lip jutted slightly out the whole walk back, staring at the flowers and then at you, holding them out for you to take. "for me?"
He nods.
You tell him to find a nice vase to set the flowers in while you prep dinner. He listens, cutting the stems of the flower and pouting. You do not know what he is thinking. He's too vague— and his expression tells you that he's annoyed, but you really cannot tell over what. He stays slightly dejected for the whole night through, sitting by your bed with a frown on his face, and it almost makes you feel bad. Almost. You ask him what can make him feel better, and you watch as he reaches for your hand, staring at you the whole time for any discomfort. You blink as he rests his head on the edge of your bed, content with just holding your hand for the time being... where did he get so sly?
The answer to your question is that he's always been sly.
You crack open your door for your mentor to enter as he visits, handing you the funds for the year, showing you the files and funds and papers and scrolls and documents and... the list goes on. You locked the fairy in your room— you don't know what your mentor would do if he were to find out you were living with a man. You're pretty sure he would get kicked out. So, you try to rush your mentor out as quickly as possible, sighing when he finally gets up and ready to leave, and lo and behold— the fairy decides to make his descent down the stairs.
"I just heard footsteps."
"You must be mishearing."
"I'm afraid not."
You watch as your roommate (roommate?) steps up to your mentor, nodding as they shake hands.
"Pleasure to meet you. Your name?"
You open your mouth to make one up on the spot, and you physically pause when the man speaks.
"Don't worry about it." He smiles all friendly (with an underlying passive aggressiveness that only one might have when meeting someone they dislike) shaking his hand. "You are?"
"I am... their mentor." He nods. "So the two of you are?"
"—"
You cut him off. "Roommates! I picked him up off the street."
"You picked a random man off the streets?" Your mentor raises a brow. "Couldn't he have stayed somewhere else other than your place?"
"Well..." You lower your voice and pull your lips to his ear. "He's kinda... hot."
"He looks like a pathetic mess." Your mentor stares right into your 'roommate's' eyes, and he stares back, uncanny smile on his face. "Call me if you need me."
"You'll let him stay?!"
"I fear that if I do not let you have your way, you will simply force me out of the territory." He shrugs. "Clear the attic for him. Do not let him stay in your room, understand?"
You mock a salute at him as he shuts the door with a snap of his hands. The man is expecting you to beam at him, but as soon as you turn around, you tilt your head to the side, jabbing your finger into his chest as you press him against the table.
"So. You've known how to speak this whole time, hm? You've just been watching me read your expressions to see what you were feeling when you could have spoken the whole time? Is that how you pay your precious gardener back?"
"I really—"
Holy fuck his voice sounds like heaven.
"No." You hold your hand up to silence him, grumbling as you take a step back. "You're cooking dinner tonight and I am eating it in my room withoutyou because you've been a rude ass and deceiving me this whole time."
You watch as his expression falls. "I—"
"If you cook good enough I might forgive you."
He cooks. You find dinner set outside your door with a knock after he finishes, and you catch him peeking at you from the bottom of the stairs as you bring it into your room. You really wonder just why this fairy is so obsessed with you, but when you get a spoonful of his soup you don't mind, really. The man was good at cooking. What else could you say? You leave the finished dish outside, bringing it down to do the dishes, and you watch as he lights up from the dinner table.
"Was it good?"
"You're forgiven." You grumble, physically holding yourself back from melting over his voice. "But only if you tell me just why the hell you didn't tell me you could speak. Also, what the hell is your name?!"
He fiddles with his fingers, blinking at you. "I'm Alkaid... and I was worried you'd be creeped out by my voice if you just woke up one day and your fairy companion was both human-sized and could speak."
You blink at him wordlessly. "That's it? Wait— that came out rude. I would not think that, but I'm glad we're over that hurdle now. Can I get an omelette for breakfast tomorrow? I can get the eggs."
"I'll get the eggs." He smiles. "No red peppers?"
You shake your head.
"Okay." And you watch as the moon glistens behind him.
Alkaid is a sweetheart. Well, he had been one, but you find that he's especially gentler now, communicating with you over simple things, and knocking on your door in the morning before waking you up. You wonder if the language put a barrier between the two of you, but you don't find it in yourself to ask— especially not when he seems to know your habits just as you know his. He's always one step ahead of you. Whether that be preparing your clothes in advance or knowing what foods you're craving, he seems to know everything. You find it a little off putting at times, but you also find that it's lovely to be known. You wonder how many girls would kill to be in your position at the moment.
"Shall we head to the market tomorrow?" He tilts his head at you. "We are almost out of food."
"Already?" You blink at him. Surely he has some other intention.
"They are hosting a festival tomorrow... as well." He smiles. "Let us go together."
"Alright."
Ah. That was what it was.
You find that Alkaid has been buying clothes behind your back, the man in matching clothes with you as you descend the stairs and take his hand, holding his hand as he takes you through the stalls. He stops for candied strawberries and street style foods, taking it from you if you dislike it. He eats everything, and you refrain for ordering anything spicy in result of that. Your fairy does not like it, and you fear that you will not like it, so you settle for nothing too hot. Though, you're sure that the girls who have been peering at Alkaid the whole night would argue that you are settling for something very hot. Well, settle would be the wrong word. Is it really settling if you aren't dating?
You wonder what Alkaid makes of the whole situation.
"Is it good?" He tilts his head, opening his mouth as you give him a bite.
"It is." You nod, tilting your head back at him.
"I agree." He hums. "Shall I try to replicate this at home?"
"You're that skilled of a cook?" You raise a brow at him.
"Always." He smiles, tilting his head. "Yes?"
"...as long as you don't burn the kitchen down." You mumble.
Alkaid squeezes your hand in affirmation. You spend the rest of the night with your fingers laced between his, palm pressed flush against his, lips curled into an unconsciously sweet smile as the two of you watch the fireworks. He rests his head on your shoulder, eyes glued to the stars as he tells you the tales behind them. You listen, following his hand as you point with him, at some point the fireworks stopping and the stars being more visible to the two of you. You do not catch him staring at you, too focused on the way his voice carries through the air, and the two of you stay that way until the early hours of the morning, moving from standing on pavement to sitting on bricks, moving from sitting on bricks to laying on grass, hands never let go of.
It is beautiful, you think. He is beautiful, to you.
You wonder what you are to Alkaid. It is less of a haunting feeling and more of an innocent curiosity. Who are you to this fairy that he would willingly stay by your side and please you? Is he this way with everyone? You wonder if he would have been the same with someone else. You blink at him from the table, tilting your head as he places the bowl before you.
"What is wrong?"
You blink at him slowly. "I wonder what we are."
"You are my companion, are you not?"
(The word companion stings, but you do not know why.)
"I understand." You nod slowly.
"Why so?"
"I was curious." You smile. "I will start in the workshop again next week."
"Was there a need?"
"I am making the fireworks for the summer festival." You pause when he blinks at you. "The flowers in the sky — I am creating the ones for the summer festival."
He nods. "Is it dangerous?"
"As long as no fire gets close to it. Though, I will need to pay my mentor a visit for some more pixie dust. Perhaps I will—"
"I can provide." Alkaid swallows slowly, hand flying to cover yours on the table as you blink at him. "I will... I can provide."
"You have a source?"
"No. My wings drop pixie dust when I am small." He pauses. "How much do you need?"
"I will let you know once I get started." You smile. "Are you worried I will not come back?"
Alkaid does not answer you.
It is more than that — to him. He fears something more— that whatever force had created him and cursed him to become who he is would get its hands on you, force you to become something that he is. He wonders, and he fears, and so many more things because he would not know what to do if you are to become like him. He must protect you, perhaps. But how is he to balance protection with the ability to let you do as you will? He wonders. He wonders often.
You blink at Alkaid as he crouched by your bed, blinking your drowsiness away.
"Good morning." He smiles, and you watch as the sun peeks out from behind the curtains to light up his hair.
"Good morning." You smile back, chest warm.
Alkaid enjoys your presence more than anything— he finds. You are pretty and delicate, fingers working fast on fixing toys and making fireworks, gunpowder and pixie dust slid into the fireworks gently and carefully, eyes glued to the mechanics of everything as Alkaid cleans up your place. You are pretty, pretty like the lilies in your flowerbed, pretty like the clouds in the sky that the sun plays peekaboo with. You are pretty, and his heart knows it well, skipping a beat as you move, racing as you smile at him. The sun is nothing without its clouds. He wants to pry your fingers from your embarrassed face the same way the sun does to its clouds to catch a glimpse of you.
You are a star.
"Is something on my face?" You tilt your head, and he reaches over, wiping the smudge of pixie dust on your cheek. He watches, eyes fond as you close one eye out of reflex, smiling.
"Not anymore, starlight."
Alkaid sleeps later than you. He shuts your door behind him when he finishes making sure you're rested, and he sits in the attic, pushing the window open as the night breeze rustles his hair. He wonders sometimes if you had ever wished on a star. It would have been sweet, but he supposes it's not really something he should concern himself with. He will outlive you, and he will be alone without someone again. He wonders how much longer he will have to live before you are gone. Perhaps he will name a star after you. At the very least, he would be granted such. Perhaps he should search for your soul again since you had been so kind as to bloom him. Then, he will stay with you until it is his time to pass.
He wonders if you the two of you live like this in another life.
Though, he needs his rest too, so he shuts the window, eyes closing as he falls asleep in the warmth of his bed, pretending you are there with him.
You wonder some days if Alkaid wants to explore. Fairies are naturally free creatures, and you find it surprising that he has managed to stay so close to you for such a long time. Perhaps there is something of his that you are still holding on to. Perhaps you should ask him after the fireworks. Perhaps you are holding him back from being who he really is. So, as he shuts the door behind him after you pretend to sleep, you stare at the wood for a little too long, pondering if he would have been free in another universe. You are just weak, you find.
You don't attend the summer festival, settling for sitting out on the roof with Alkaid instead, blinking at the summer shower and the way the rockets still splatter in the sky, quieter than usual because of the rain. You wonder if you were tasked with making them because yours were resistant to the water. Alkaid hands you a sandwich from the picnic basket he had prepared, and the two of you watch from the covered patio.
"Alkaid." You hum.
"Yes?"
"Do you long to be free?"
Alkaid stares at you, closing his eyes as he shakes his head. "I am happy where I am."
You stare at him, heart churning uncomfortably in your chest as he lies to you.
"I am sorry." He senses the uncomfortableness you radiate immediately.
"No." You shake your head. "I just assumed that we were close. It is my fault."
"It is not." Alkaid reaches over for your hand as you pull it back. "star—"
"It's fine." You smile at him. "I am sorry."
"No." He tries to fix it, heart shaking in his chest, ears ringing as he tries to explain, chain of jumbled words breaking past his lips as it seems to make it worse, reaching for you again as you take a step back, and he watches as the stars in the night seem to reveal themselves after the rain clears, storm in his chest from hurting you, panic flushed through his system as the door to his room separates the two of you, his heart crumbling in his chest. Perhaps you are right.
"I... am planning on travelling soon." Alkaid smiles almost apologetically, bitterness visible on his face as you slow in your eating.
"When will that be?"
"Perhaps in a week or so." He nods. "Do take care of yourself while I am gone."
You nod.
The house is emptier without Alkaid around. You send him off from your door, handing him a safety device that you are sure he will not need, sending him off with good wishes despite the rift between the two of you. You do not know if you will see him again. You wonder if you ever will. Though, that is not your problem. It was a good time to visit everyone that had been sold to the slave market and bought again. You have had enough time playing around. It is time you return to where you are supposed to be.
You leave an empty home, white lilies wilted on the streets.
You do not return.
You busy yourself with the affairs of the land, returning Cael to his role as an aide, thanking him for taking over during the years you wanted to rest, and the two of you work for the land, your age stuck in time, Cael's age frozen next to you. You wonder if anyone questions how you have lived for so long, but you do not care. The immortals have been in power for longer than you can remember, and your father had been the exception to your noble bloodline, and it made you sick. Your mother did of heartbreak. You understand, but you find that you are not as weak as your mother was— weak is the wrong word, you find. You are not as in love as your mother was. Perhaps you had been foolish to think that you had been in love.
"Stop being a drag." Your mentor sighs, rolling his eyes as he slides you an invitation. "It's the century masquerade."
"I am not a century..." You pause. "Wow. I'm old as fuck."
"Language."
You stare at the invitation, blinking slowly.
"If you're still stuck over that roommate of yours," The man sighs. "Perhaps he will be there as well. Fairies are invited."
"Do they locate us by blood?"
"Only those who are over a century old are able to access the royal palace. You will see him again."
"How do you know that? I left him."
"He left you first."
You can't help the groan that breaks past your lips.
Yet, you are dolled up and escorted to the dance anyway, mask slipped on your face as you step foot into the ballroom, the lights too much for your eyes, heart souring at the daffodils on display and green, finding that you had been given a different dress code for some reason, but fitting in, stardust scattered on your golden gown, taking your mentor's hand as the two of you blend into the rest of the crowd, dancing as you are passed around to change partners. You wonder when you will get to stop. Though, everyone who is over a hundred is well energized. You wonder if any of these men and women pass away.
"Lonely?"
You glance at your dance partner. "No."
"You are sure?"
You nod.
"It is a shame." He swings you out of the way of your next partner, humming. "I have missed you, starlight."
You shrink back slightly to look at him, blinking owlishly as you notice the daffodil hair and peridot eyes. He smiles at you, pressing your knuckles to his lips as he smiles at you. You let him pull you off the dance floor to retreat to a balcony, rain thumping gently outside as he offers you a drink, cheeks warm as he smiles slightly over reuniting with you.
You blink slowly at him, head tilted as he opens his mouth to speak.
"I apologize." He swallows, smile bitter. "I lied to you, and I—"
"No." You blink. "It was my fault. I apologize for overreacting."
"No." Alkaid takes a step closer to you. "No. I should not have lied. I was happy with you back then, but I did not wish to hurt you by telling you I thought about exploring. It was my fault. Do forgive me for it."
"But—"
"Accept it." He hums. "May we... start over?"
"I'm... Alkaid." He smiles, bowing.
Your name comes next, and Alkaid presses your knuckles to his lips again, humming.
"May I have the honor of courting you?"
"Yes." You breathe. "Always."
Alkaid turns your hand over to press a small stone into your hand.
An opal.
"Thank you, starlight."

My Soul to Burn
Tumblr media
Part of the EXO Demon Series
Genre: Demon AU
Pairing: Fem!Reader x Minseok
Summary: Unknown to the mortals, the world was plunging into chaos. But Minseok couldn’t care less. He was still able to take assignments, able to continue in collecting souls of the gullible. As long as he could do his job, he didn’t care what the angels or his boss were up to. Out stalking his next target, he met you, someone who could see him even when he chose to be invisible. At first, he shrugged you off, not interest in the mystery. But after another chance encounter, Minseok was intrigued. As your abnormality could have a part to play in the war against the angels, he was reluctantly keeping you close. With you as warm as he was cold, he tried to stay the terrifying demon while being haunted by Kris’ last words…
Part: 1 I 2 I 3 I 4 I 5 I 6 I 7 I 8 I 9 I 10 I 11 I 12 I Final
**
You scrambled back in your cell, trying to put as much as distance between you and the terrifying angel. Too soon, the bars of the cage pressed into your back. All four of them entered the cage, two of them covering the only exit while the other to approached you. There wasn’t much of a fight that you could put up when two of them reached out and pulled you to your feet. The tight grips that were kept on your arms were impossible to break out of.
With one simple nod from the Protector that you assumed was in charge, a bright light filled the room and suddenly you were out of the basement and exposed out in the middle of a little field of dying flowers and random bushes. The most significant thing around was a worn down shack.
“Where the hell are we?” you demanded. Even though you asked the question, you had mostly assumed that you would be ignored.
“The balance must be restored,” the manhandler to your right replied.
You rolled your eyes. “Yeah, you’ve said that. A few times now. What does that have to do with why we are here?”
“Your soul is tainted,” the other guard answered. “It must be restored. All tainted souls must be restored.”
“Only then can the realm be cleansed,” the first one finished.
“Okay,” you inhaled deeply. “And how, exactly do you plan on doing that?”
The one that you assumed was the leader turned around to face you. His face was cold, expressionlist. Those light blue eyes were piercing through you, as if you were nothing more than a warped window altering his view of what was behind.
“In the sunlight,” he said, his voice coming out soft and smooth, like he was trying to calm a fussy child, “this place becomes a portal between this world and ours. But in the moonlight, it becomes a bridge to the other realm. When it opens, we will extract the chaotic energy from your soul and send it back where it came from.”
You gulped. “That sounds painful.”
“You will die.”
“What!” In a panic, you started to fight again, even more determined than ever to get away. The vices on your arms didn’t slip even a centimeter. “Why do I have to die?”
“The demon energy is what is keeping your soul in your body,” the fourth madman explained. “Once it is extracted, your soul will be restored to its proper place. You were never meant to live this long.”
You were in utter disbelief. Why did all of this have to happen to you? Your father should have just let you be when you were a child.
The leader turned his face up to the dark night sky. “When the moon is at its highest, the portal will open. And we will be closer to restoring the balance.”
**
It took them much longer than Minseok would have liked to track a Protector sent.He liked even less how he had to keep sniffing for it. The smell was a sickly sweet sort of scent, burning the inside of his nose and making the pit of his stomach churn.
But eventually they did find the scent. Amazingly, they found it only a few blocks away from his apartment building. You hadn’t made it very far before they picked you up. Which meant you had been with them for hours and he had no idea what they were doing to you. Ignoring the possibilities, they followed the smell as it grew in strength all the way to a new housing development.
“Why would they come here?” Tao asked as they walked through the neighborhood, only the streetlights and the moon above lighting their way.
“It’s the last place I would have thought to look,” Jongdae admitted.
Minseok had to agree. He would have stuck with the more industrial area of the city, the more cliche place to look. That meant these Protectors were smart. Well, then, Minseok would just have to be smarter.
“There.” Yixing caught all of their attention and pointed to one of the more complete houses. “Can you see it?”
He had to squint and really concentrate, but eventually Minseok could make it out. A slight shimmer surrounded the house. A barrier to make regular humans pass right on by it as if it didn’t exist at all.
“Let’s check it out.” Kris started for the front door, but Minseok picked up his speed, passing right by him without trying to look too eager. It didn’t really work, but he would pretend that it did.
Just as the others reached the porch, Minseok opened the unlocked door. Inside, he followed the scent, ignoring the stinging in his nose as he headed for the stairs leading down to the basement. His anticipation grew as he quietly made his way down the steps. But when he reached the bottom, the space was completely empty. No sign of you. No sign of the Protectors (beyond their scent). Nothing.
“Argh!” Minseok punched the space next to him, leaving a good fist-sized dent in the drywall.
“Was that entirely necessary?” Yixing scolded.
“Let him be, Xing,” Kris sighed. Surveying the room, he placed his hands on his hips. “They were definitely here at one point. It’s all concentrated here.”
“I think I found something!” Jongdae yelled. He was crouched down on the opposite side of the room, feeling the ground with his fingers.
Luhan was the first to him. “Was is it?”
“You don’t feel that?” Jongdae put a second hand down, stabling himself. “They teleported out of here. From this spot.”
“Can you track it?” Minseok asked desperately. Jongdae was the best at following that type of energy.
Jongdae nodded. “I think so. There were multiple Protectors, all teleporting at once and to the same place. The signature left is really strong.”
“Well, then, let’s go!” Minseok urged.
Yixing and Kris exchanged a look before the latter nodded. Shuffling closer together, everyone placed a hand on Jongdae. Darkness surrounded them and they left the unoccupied house behind.
Their final destination was off in a very familiar field. Minseok had a very bad feeling about this.
You were standing in the field about a hundred feet away, surrounded by the Protectors right outside the portal.
Kris grabbed both Minseok and Jongdae by the backs of their shirts, pulling them out sight and behind some very convenient bushes while everyone else followed suit.
“Do not do anything stupid,” he ordered through gritted teeth.
Minseok ripped Kris’ hand away. “Like you’re one to talk about being rational.”
“Stop it,” Luhan hissed. He risked peeking over the bushes. “They seem to be waiting for something. I thought the portal only worked in the sun?”
“That’s to go to their realm,” Yixing clarified. “In the moonlight, it leads to ours.”
“Since when do we have portals?” Minseok turned to look at the bookworm. “We can just go there whenever we want, we don’t have the same restrictions they do.”
“Yeah, but the Orpheus trial can be conducted for a damned soul, too,” Kris added.
“Why would anyone want to voluntarily go after one?” Tao sneered. “They’re in our realm for a reason.”
“People do crazy things when they’re in love,” Kris replied, sneaking a peak at Minseok.
“Why are you looking at me?” Minseok snapped.
Kris just shook his head, ignoring his question. “So, we need a plan. Obviously, we can’t just rush in there and hope for the best.”
Sounded good to Minseok. Six demons against four protectors. Seemed like decent odds.
“Maybe we should just watch and see what they plan on doing with her,” Jongdae suggested. “Maybe they’ll just do whatever they want to do and let her go.”
“No!”
At the sound of your scream, Minseok jumped to his feet. Two of the protectors were dragging you towards the door. He was split. Were they just going to throw you into his realm? If that was the case, then he could just go get you and avoid a fight. Then again, he’d like to actually have permission to beat the crap out of someone.
“Help! Someone help! Minseok!”
Your cry for him made him freeze. You were… asking for him to come save you? He couldn’t move one way or the other, not even his head was working right. What was this strange tug in his chest?
“Minseok?” Jongdae whispered.
The fight left you at the sign of no one coming. You fell to your knees just outside the shack, where the door had gone from being a rotting wooden barrier to cold white marble.
“Don’t worry, dear,” the head Protector told you. “Death will not hurt. And you will be going to our realm. You’ve lived your life well.”
Minseok’s head snapped up. Death?
Sensing danger, Luhan reached out to him. “Minseok, don’t-”
Too late. Minseok jumped over the bushes, running straight for you.
**
The grass poked at the opened scrapes that had been created when you’d fallen to your knees. You hadn’t meant to call out for Minseok. The panic coursing through you had forced it out. It was pointless. He’d probably rejoice once he heard the news that you were gone. You’d finally be out of his hair for good.
Pulling you back up to your feet, the Protectors moved you closer to the portal, the leader taking out a pure silver sword from the sheath at his hip. He lifted it up and you closed your eyes, accepting your fate.
At least you had a good life. Nothing extraordinary, but still good.
But the swing never came. Something knocked you over, sending you the ground as a pair of arms wrapped around you, taking in most of the impact. Your eyes opened on instinct and you gasped.
“Minseok?”
He groaned, gently pushing you off of him while he sat up. Frantically, he grabbed your shoulders, his eyes searching every inch of you. “Are you hurt?”
Too much in shock that he was actually here and concerned about your wellbeing, all you could do was shake your head.
With a hard shove, he repositioned so you so he was now between you and the Protectors. “Stay behind me,” he commanded. You were too frightened to do anything but obey. He kept his own concentration on the enemy in front of him. “Keep away from her!”
“Balance must be restored,” the leader said, unaffected by the turn of events. You were getting really sick and tired of hearing that. “All the others have been cleansed. She is one of two left.”
“Yeah, well, this is one soul that’s going to stay tainted,” Minseok defied.
Crack!
You jumped at the sudden noise and then your eyes widened. Five others appeared on your side of the field. Only the blonde and Yixing were recognizable to you. The other three you’d never seen before, but it was safe to assume they were demons like Minseok and the others.
Then chaos ensued.
No words were exchanged before the two groups collided. The fights were mostly one on one, except for the leader, who was easily fending off Yixing and the tall demon. Minseok hung back with you, making sure that none of them got past his friends and had a shot at you.
You couldn’t really concentrate on the fight. Your eyes were trained on Minseok’s back. It was like an out of body experience. He was actually here. He’d really come for you. And he was protecting you. But he hated you, didn’t he? Was this just him following orders?
Without tearing his eyes away from the fight, he reached back, feeling the ground until his hand came to rest on yours. You gaped at the connection, becoming more confused than ever when he even gave you a reassuring squeeze.
A high pitched screech yanked you out of the labyrinth of thoughts. The short brown haired demon had managed to gain the upper hand against the Protector and punched his hand through the Protector’s chest. The scream itself only lasted for a second or so before the Protector crumbled away into a white powder that was scattered in the wind. The demon then turned to join the blonde one in taking on his opponent.
Eventually, all the Protectors were taken out, save for one. The leader. In the fight, he’d lost the sword, turning instead to use the silver arrows that originated from his wrists. He was holding his own a bit too well. The tallest demon took a small step out of the fight, glancing at Minseok before motioning to the sword.
Nodding, Minseok said over his shoulder, “Stay here.”
“But-”
It was useless. He was already scrambling to the sword, stealthily swiping it up while the others distracted the Protector. Rounding the group, he crept up behind the Protector and skewered him with his weapon. Just like the others, he let out a scream cut all too short as he crumbled away, dust blowing away in the breeze.
Shaking, you rose to your feet. “Is it over?”
“It is,” the tall one answered you. “For now.”
Minseok threw the sword to the side and stalked through the group, shoving them aside as he made his way to you. Before you could react or step away, he threw his arms around you, trapping you into a bone crushing hug.

Thats all you may pick whoever you want! Take care author!
Hello darling, I did my best with this! This series is relatively new for me so I did what I could for a Gojo reader.
-You were known for being rather a gremlin around Valhalla, being laid back, not taking anything seriously, which gave you several people who were mad at you.
-Almost always smiling, carefree in nature, you were easy to get along with when you weren’t pissing people off.
-However, there was something about you, many could sense it, but some chose not to believe it, that you were way stronger than you were letting on. They could sense a power within you, something that made you very dangerous.
-When Ragnarok was announced, you were all for a good fight, a bright smile on your face, ready for a challenge, really wanting to let loose, sense it had been years since you had gotten that chance to go wild.
-You were quickly disappointed however, when you chose to fight first, to open the tournament with a bang! You were paired against Chernabog, a massive deity of evil and destruction.
-Chernabog wanted nothing to do with the tournament and had to be dragged out by other gods, all who were blown head over heels, easily defeated.
-You scowled lightly as you approached, and Zeus shouted, “Idiot, what makes you think you can handle him?!”
-You smirked up at him, reaching up to pull your blindfold off, “No worries Zeusy~ after all, you all are weak!”
-Instead of being furious with your arrogance, many were instantly stunned as you whole face was revealed, your eyes were like looking at the cloud filled blue sky and starlight mixed together, they were beautiful!
-You crossed your fingers and in only a moment, Chernabog was dead, torn to pieces and you were up on the wall to the stadium, like you had teleported, a slightly bored look on your face, “Man, I was hoping to show off~”
-Had no idea you were that powerful- they knew you were powerful, that’s a given, but to see how easily you took care of one of the oldest and strongest gods out there in only a moment, it was very humbling. To you, it was more than a moment, as you and Chernabog went into your Domain Expansion where you teased him for being caught so easily and when he tried to attack, you attacked, but to everyone else, it was only seconds. They were quickly way more curious about you than before, wondering how truly powerful you actually were and wondering why you hid such beauty- you were stunning, why hide it?
            -Zeus, Odin, Hermes, Shiva, Jack, Brunnhilde, and Aphrodite
-Was stunned stiff by your power, seeing how quickly you handled business, and you made it look easy! You won your match in only seconds, not even breaking a sweat and you were complaining that you didn’t get to show off! How powerful were you?! He wanted to find out, he wanted to test his own combat strength against your own, feeling antsy for a fight!
            -Thor, Lu Bu, Raiden, Hercules, Ares, Beelzebub, Kojiro, and Rudra
-That was amazing!! You were so fast and handled Chernabog so quickly! How did you do that?! And was curious why you always wore a blindfold when you were so pretty, not understanding why you were hiding such beauty.
            -Chen Gong, Zerofuku, Adam, and Eve
-You were so stunningly beautiful, how on earth did he not realize you were so beautiful?! He knew you were strong, that’s a given, and you were a pain in the ass when you wanted to be, but your skills could back your arrogance up. Seeing your power on full display was rather intimidating but also humbling, you were a human, but your power could handle anyone in Valhalla, gods or humans. He was a bit more curious about why you hid your beauty, wanting to seek you out to demand an answer, such perfection should never be hidden!
-Loki, Buddha, Hades, Poseidon, Nikola, and Qin Shi Huang

Henlo it is me again. Chen gong x reader x Lu bu fluff p l z. Whatever is going on is up to you. (And if reader gender has to be specified, fem) <3 love your work
Hope you like it, dear❤️ Lu Bu and Chen Gong needs more attention
Tumblr media
Lu Bu x reader x Chen Gong: how did I end up here?
Tumblr media
Type: fluff
Warnings: blood, war, reader being hurt
Tumblr media
Where there's light, there's dark and where there's blood, there's war. The burning sensation in the eyes after a whiff of ash in the dim light is something hard to forget; exactly like the burning sunlight on the skin, so strong that it seems to heal wounds by scarring them.
Time never passes as the souls of the soldiers are swept away by death's gentle grip, light as a leaf resting on a river. You see the underworld as an old friend, a retirement home that is always ready to welcome you; you begin to hope to become one of the guests, while the pain eats you from the inside.
The deafening thud of a victim falling beside you roused you from your thoughts, while you remained hidden behind a rock large enough to provide cover. You tried not to look, to ignore his empty eyes, so gouged with fatigue that they already resembled the empty shells of a skull; you wondered how soon his skin would have begun to turn pale and his blood to become cold, glacial like the shiver that ran down your back at the mere thought of ending up like him.
Nausea set in, burning your throat like the fire a dragon is about to spit, but you fought your own body to swallow.
"Shit" you whispered, looking away with fear reigning over your movements. The latter, on the other hand, was like the queen of that kingdom: she danced among her subjects in bright red dresses, graceful and silent, dancing with anyone who agreed to participate in that sick game. You had seen fear in her face, beyond that pale mask she always wore, and it was terrifying; the warrior does not fall because his legs are bleeding, but he does because his knees tremble with terror.
The sweat that illuminated your face was mixed with sand, slightly corroding your skin and making it red; the helmet was breaking your head from how heavy it was, but at least it shielded your ears from the desperate moans. Every now and then, you thought of the families of those who died in battle with you, of how a soldier's wife or children could give gold for hearing their last words, and instead, you were there to act as their confessional, memorizing one to one every prayer or death rattle. You simply couldn't forget them, imprinting them exactly as your shoes were now moving the ground: you had decided to peeping out of your meager hiding place, calling upon the deities that an enemy would not materialize out of nowhere to cut off your head.
What you saw brightened your vision by blurring your vision with sheer wonder, similar to that of a child receiving his wooden sword for the first time. The dragon that loomed over the battlefield was ruthless, he loomed with his great wings on the enemies around him, exterminating them with a single blow of his halberd. The wind whistled at his every movement, as he continued undeterred dragging an Acheron of blood behind; whoever found him in front of him could already consider himself a passenger on Charon's raft.
Lü Bu plowed the sea of bodies like a ship under full sail and spread victory, rather than despair. Your general's face was hard, stoic as always, while his tanned skin made him look like a bronze statue, worthy of being exhibited in the most prestigious palace in all of China. The blue tattoo that marked his sculpted body moved in a hypnotic dance, trapping your attention with every movement of its scales.
The pressure returned, devouring you as the lion does a too slow gazelle; perfect metaphor for your current situation. A gust of wind ruffled your hair, filling your nostrils with the strong smell of horse blood and sweat, so disgusting it made you dizzy.
You weren't supposed to be there, you never should have been. The you of the past would never have wanted this, she would have wanted to be happy and run away from war and difference, from the ruins of destroyed walls and the hands of the dead that grab your ankle to sink you with them.
"When did it all go wrong?"
Your damaged memory was unable to find an answer, commanding you to stop thinking of a false future and move your legs. "I have to run...I need to..."
You murmured absently, with wide eyes and heavy breathing. A desert would have been less arid than your throat, which hadn't touched water since the night before due to anxiety and fear of being rejected by the organism. Suddenly, Fear returned, but had your face reflected in the blade of a sword.
The dark lady literally took you by weight, loading you onto her chariot drawn by Despair and Torment, chaining you in place...but it couldn't end like this.
A lonely sigh escaped your lips as you leapt back, dodging the slash that a ruthless-eyed foe had aimed at you, cutting off a small strand of hair. A jolt went through your body, shaking you like an earthquake settles mother earth,
The clatter of your armor, which previously seemed deafening and piercing, was now the only thing keeping you grounded in reality. Fear recoiled, blinded by the bright light of a new fighter, one made of pure gold and with a flaming sword; the sun itself made person. Courage.
Your hand found the hilt of the sword, the memories of training returned and made you fight back, dueling with the enemy in front of you. "Shit" you said, when little red streams started coming out of your shoulder, yet the pain had been overcome by the adrenaline and had become as small as a shadow at noon.
It didn't matter, nothing mattered on the battlefield. You were a soldier, a fighter for your country and as such you had to be willing to die for it. "I refuse"
And Fear's head leapt into the air, cut off by Courage's fiery slash, with such ease that you stumbled in your own steps, heedless of the sweet blood that kept dripping upon the earth, dyeing it a wondrous crimson.
Huff huff huff
No more Fear, it was time to set sail on your new lord's horse; and so you did. The nuts turned white around the hilt of your sword, as you felt the hands of the gods guide you on the battlefield, with the blessed heart of a dragon and the quick step like its mighty wings.
─•~❉᯽❉~•─
One slash, then another. A curse, a curse. Then scream and blood at your feet. The drops that fell from your forehead blurred your vision, some entered your mouth, but you couldn't stop, not now. If fate had ordered death to kidnap you, then you wanted to at least put up a fight. "Chen Gong, look out!" you shouted at your friend, acting as a shield and causing the screeching arrow to strike the plate that blocked your chest; shattering the tip and parrying the army strategist's back. The latter kept his eyes fixed on the aggressor who was occupying him in front, without realizing what had just happened.
The battle makes monsters, stealing humanity from even the most fragile hearts, just like that of the sweet Chen Gong: a ray of sunshine in the midst of the battle and totally the opposite of his lord Lu Bu, his mind was the sharpest of the China...if only its reflections were like that. Meanwhile, the flying general continued to plow the battlefield, not sparing the unfortunate souls trampled by Red Hare.
How long had it been since you came out of your hiding place? Hours? Few minutes?
Ache. The more you stood still, the more the adrenaline went down and you couldn't afford it. Death would not have taken you that day, you promised heaven - although it would probably be the devil visiting you at the grave.
Your gaze met Lu Bu's empty and merciless gaze for a second: the voices around you ceased, the storm calmed down, and everything fell silent. You were about to cry with relief, it was over, it was all over, you did it. Then why were your legs so heavy?
"We made it!" suddenly snapped Chen Gong next to you; his charisma also infected the other soldiers, making them exult in joy, filling that glorious field with shouts once again, but with exultation.
"We...really did it...uh?"
"Y/N!"
Your knees gave way without you realizing it, the black cloth that accompanied your armor daring not reveal what was happening underneath. As your eyes were slowly closing, you caught your general's doing the opposite: he dismounted in a hurry, panic etched in his face, a feeling you'd never seen in him.
"Don't make that face, my lord... don't fear for a soldier like me..."
Those were the only words that came out of your mouth before you felt Chen Gong's arms grab your arm. His grip was strong, urgent, you marveled at the energy he had left despite the battle. That contact, that warmth. It was a blow of humanity, something familiar and beautiful: not bad for the last thing to feel before leaving, a welcoming hand like that of a mother who prevents her child from falling. Even the strategist's cheeks were smeared with dirt, no red liquid on him, but his eyes bore the weight of severed heads and pierced chests.
Your vision blurred even more, until the darkness welcomed you, embracing you tightly and with the intention of never letting go.
─•~❉᯽❉~•─
Lu Bu was the first to run towards you, dropping to his knees beside you. Inside him, a storm of emotion had taken over, none of them visible on his serious face; the general's piercing eyes were marked by fatigue, not by the anguish that was gripping his heart in a death grip.
And Lu Bu was bleeding. Yes, because even his dragon blood nourished a human body, made of flesh and not of scales.
"W-We have to go...immediately..." slurred Chen Gong as he lifted your aching, helpless body into his arms, while your throat was so dry that you couldn't utter a word. You wanted to scream, break that silence you loved so much, finally being able to say your last words and not those of your companions.
"Just stop, please"
You wanted to oppose that desperate attempt to save you; seeing Chen Gong and your lord in that condition was worse than taking a hundred more blows to the shoulder. The rule of war was clear: whoever falls behind is lost, and you were going to do it.
Lu Bu didn't think twice about grabbing his strategist - still with you in his arms - and mounting Red Hare, ready to plow through the clouds of dust as if she hadn't just fought for hours. Only one thought occupied their minds and that was to save you, no matter how, but it had to be done.
Without your joyful presence, like the flowers that bloom in May, the army would never have been the same again: an important part would have gone; perhaps you were not the strongest fighter, but your virtues were admirable. They weren't going to let you die there, not you.
─•~❉᯽❉~•─
"What the..."
Your eyes still thick with sleep scanned the environment around you. A few stretchers here and there, the smell of bitter herbs and a more spacious tent than the others. Infirmary, salvation, life.
You tried to push yourself up with your arms, but the excruciating pain hit you suddenly, making you fall back on the pad. But how the hell did you get there? All you remembered was Chen Gong's broken face, Lu Bu away from you and triumphant, the cheering of those still standing...
Then, a movement by your side caught your attention. Your eyes, now alert and alert, softened and filled with tears as they saw your beloved tactician curled up beside you. Your cheeks flushed as his fingers entwined around yours, moved unconsciously by the sleeping handsome Chen Gong. Seen like this, he was even more beautiful: his completely loose hair fell on his soft features, while his eyelids were softly closed and his curves kissed by the dim light that filtered through the curtain.
A small gasp came out of your mouth as one arm - much stronger than the other - trapped your hips, locking you in place.
Lu Bu was behind you: his head leaned against your back, his mouth open as he purred contentedly, showing all his sharp teeth, the same ones that drove you mad. Even though the general looked frightening, a little bit of his past remained in him, and with that, some behaviors or habits from when he was a child. Your current position was a perfect example of this.
Your heart started beating. Did they stay here for you? Were you that important? Apparently yes, but your eyes were too veiled to understand it. "My heroes" you whispered with a soft, relaxed smile as you returned Chen Gong's squeeze and rested your head against Lu Bu's chest. The pain faded into the background, the suffering out there did too, while a soft breeze stirred the fabric around you, creating not indifferent plays of light.
Their warmth awakened the humanity that had long been hidden in you. You were alive, they were alive, and you were there, together.

Record of Ragnarok
Lu Bu x courtesan! Fem! Reader
Word count: 2206
Tumblr media
Lu Bu Hausen, the flying general, the strongest man under the heavens, lots of titles, right? Everyone heard of his name, from first glance everyone knew his face. Someone would think, it's an amusing life. Yet Lu Bu didn't feel the same, the said male was dying of boredom. Nothing interesting happened after his race with the Red Hare. Considering the poor animal was still healing from it's injuries, there wasn't anything happening in Louyang City. Anything concerning Lu Bu himself, at least. Chen Gong saw it, he saw how bored, how without that sparkle in his eyes, his lord was. Just sitting crosslegged, anywhere, everywhere, wherever his lord currently was. The sad sights struck his heart painfully.
One day however, while strolling down the city streets, Chen Gong overheard a conversation about the show happening in Bai Lu Yuan. Bai Lu Yuan is a famous, dared to be called, the most famous brothel in China. Housing the most beautiful women, preforming elegant and exiting shows and it's glory. The jewell among preformers. The jewell among women. Chen Gong didn't really like the idea, but he had to admit he himself hasn't thought about woman's presence in a while. And if he hasn't, the rest of the army must he touch starved. Plus he's seen the way all the women stared at his lord.
So why not?
Lu Bu wasn't really interested in Chen Gong's proposal but went with it anyway. That's how he ended up here, laying on pillows and colorful blankets, surrounded by at least ten women. All wearing fancy but revealing clothing, their hands roaming his chest and arms as he ate, his eyes bore into the seeling.
Other men along with his soldiers were certainly enjoying themselves, even Chen Gong loosened up after few drinks. But Lu Bu hasn't found this whole act very fun. Not that the attention he was receiving from a bunch of gorgeous women wasn't pleasing. No, no, there was just something missing. Not just here, on the battlefield, in his sleep, just what could it be.
Music started playing, the men started howling, the curtains opened. Revealing the most beautiful woman, no a goddess, he's ever seen. Her clothing resembled the other courtesans in color, but it just had a totally different appeal. How it cling on her delicious curves left very little to imagination. The design, the cut, it was worth the empress. Despite all, her shoulders and nearly whole legs were bare. As she moved to the rhythm, sliding her hands along her body. Using the fan that once covered her face, now down her breasts.
As music slowed it's melody, long red cloth fell from the ceiling. Sliding her fingers through the silky cloth, wrapping it around her body delicately, seductively. The cloth lifted with the goddess entangled in it. Time seemed to slow down, as she slowly turned and rotated in the air. Her legs rubbed against each other, hands moving through her hair, going up her breasts, her neck, face.
That's what Lu Bu saw. He couldn't look away. He never felt this before. The tingling in his chest, going down to his groin. He knew what's happening, but it never felt like this. And she's the reason for this. He'll take her. She's the next interest of his. He won't let this opportunity pass.
...
After the show, Lu Bu watched his woman disappear behind he stage, as the curtains closed once again and the music stopped. Lu Bu stood to his full height, not caring about the women, that surrounded him, fell against the pillows with yelps, losing the support his chest provided. Stomping the way his woman left. His eyes locked onto the door, he had no means on stopping. "S-Sir, please you can't go there!" courtesans and waitresses blocked his way. "Let me pass" he mumbled, eyes locked at his targeted door. "P-Please sir, you can't go through that door" "Um, how about a drink?" "Here, let us take you to your seat"
The poor girls tried their best to lure this beast back to it's bed. Sadly his large body haven't bugged. It was unsettling for the women, they came across a lot of drunken, aggressive men and they could only imagine what this hoard of muscle could do. "What is this?" an elderly woman, came into Lu Bu's view, shortly following behind the voice. She was old, too old to be a courtesan, yet her clothes resembled the ones of a courtesan. But more fancy, like his woman's. "What seems to be the problem, young man?" she asked inhaling the smoke from her long, wooden cigarette pipe.
"She went that way" Lu Bu pointed to the door with his chin. "Oh! You mean Y/n" at the mention of her name, his eyes finally teared from the door and fell to the elderly woman. "I want her for the night"
The courtesans gasped softly at his demanding tone, he wasn't asking and certainly won't take a no for an answer. The old lady, probably the owner Lu Bu figured, tapped her cigarette pipe with her finger, it's butts falling carelessly on the wooden floor. "You would like to order a night with miss L/n?" Lu Bu only started at the elder lady. She hummed as puffs of smoke left her nostrils. "Well that would be a little difficult, young man" she continued, taking another breath of smoke "You see, her standards are really high and a night with her isn't the cheapest" Lu Bu snarled, boredom taking over his features "Still, there's no guaranteeing she'll be willing-" the owner sighed, shaking her head.
"Why don't you purchase one of the other courtesans here, I'll even make you a sale" but the look the flying general gave her, she knew she nearly crossed the line. The courtesans surrounding his large form, yelped and quickly went away, barely escaping with their lifes.
"Y-Yes, I understand. Come this way sir!"
...
The beautiful woman, the most beautiful one in all of China, sat on her side, her dress falling over her delicate body that awoken excitement in every man. Leaning her elbow against the puffy pillows, breathing away the cigarette smoke, the tip of her cigarette holder resting on her plumpy, red lips. She sighed, stretching her limbs, reaching for the bowl full of fruit. About to take a bite from the dragon fruit, the sliding door burst open, startling the poor goddess, her delicious snack falling from her hands. "Oh! Look what you did, you monkey!" she barked, focusing on her, now strained sheets, rather then the intruder. Mumbling curses under her breath, Y/n cleaned the fruit off her silky blankets, thanking the Caishen it haven't fell on her precious clothing.
Only after her nerves calmed a little, Y/n bothered to look up. Gaze meeting a particularly attractive man. She had to admit, from all the guys she'd encountered, only few stand out. This one may have been added to her list. "Well hello darling, how may I serv you?" Y/n asked impatiently after exchanging stares with the man standing in the middle of her room. The man smirked, showing his extremely sharp teeth "I want to take you" he said in deep, raspy voice as his form moved closer to Y/n's resting body. "Oh, where?" asking with a clueless face, adjusting her body into more comfortable position. Laying on her side, resting her upper body against her elbow once again.
The question seemed to confuse her visitor, as his eyebrows quirk, leaving a small 'huh?' Y/n could nearly see question-marks flying around his head. A genuine laugh leaving her lips made her shoulders along with her neatly covered breasts bounce. She couldn't believe he actually fell for her little trick. "I'm only messing with you" she laughed away, moving her cigarette holder to her lips. Taking a deep breath, slowly blowing the smoke not breaking the eye contact with the man in front her. Their staring contest continued, until the man sighed and sat down "This is getting boring" he groaned out, reaching for the bowl of fruits, eating away.
Y/n turned her head away humming "Indeed it is" tapping the butts into her ash pan "All men are boring" she said releasing the burnout tobacco with new one. Lu Bu only hummed throwing the peel behind him, already munching on another good. "Agh, yes men!" the goddess rolled her eyes dramatically.
"You are all the same, you come here wanting the same thing and expect us women, expect me to bend to your will" she stopped to take another drag from her cigarette holder, the smoke filling her lungs "And when you see me not responding, you'll all use the same methods. Talking about how beautiful I am, how you'll worship my body. Talking about all the gifts you'll buy for me" ending the sentence with an angry groan "That is what's boring, darling" by now Lu Bu finished the bowl. To say he was bored was an understatement, but his eyes never left Y/n. Who pulled her robes down and away from her legs slightly. "Now, you can try and convince me you're worth my time, Lu Bu Housen" she sighed puffing her cigarette again and mumbled "but that would be particularly impossible" Lu Bu froze.
"Impossible?"
A devilish smirk stretched on his mouth, showing more and more of his canines. "Hm? Yes, from this point, yes-" but Y/n's voice died down as a shadow fell over her form. In a split of a second her bode was forced to the ground, her cigarette holder falling from her hands. She'd seen men turn into wild animals, but never an animal into a beast. The thing above her wasn't a man, but a hungry dragon about to take what's his. In another swift movement, her expensive yukata was forced upwards, exposing her unprotected lower parts. Before Y/n could react in any way, her body was once again forced down, her breasts pressed against the blankets by a stone hard chest on her back. One of her arms being forced down with his giant hand, while his other was occupied with rising her abdomen in the air.
His actions were rough and his hold was so strong, Y/n was sure it'll leave bruises. Yet she found no displeasure in his behavior. She's never been dominated like this and they both knew she enjoyed it. A soft gasp left her lips when his rough fingers found her soaking sex. She could feel his chuckle in his chest pressed against her shoulder blades. His finger was replaced by something bigger, thicker. Moving his hand from her hips, Lu Bu grabbed her right hand. A moan forced itself out of Y/n's throat, as Lu Bu's cock entered her wet heat. She moaned and gasped as he bottomed out inside her. Lu Bu was bigger than any man she'd laid with, but it could've been expected.
Shortly after her spongy walls adjusted around his cock, Y/n tested if the sting was still present by shifting her hips slightly. Feeling this Lu Bu moved at rather fast peace. His thrusts were powerful, sending Y/n's whole body forward with every move. Lu Bu pressed his lips on the back of her neck, his teeth grazing against her skin, sending shivers down her spine. Subconsciously Y/n's hand moved from below his into his hair, leaning his head farther into her neck. Following his instincts, Lu Bu sped up and bit into her trapezius muscle. The rumbles and growls vibrating his chest, the huffs and puffs dashing past his nose, sounding like a horse galloping through fields. It felt all so surreal to Y/n, of course it wasn't her first time, nor with an a man she's attracted to. But this feeling was new to her, this animalistic desire he felt for her, this man, Lu Bu Hausen, really was different.
Lu Bu bend his back, moving Y/n's body with his. Pressing her chest farther into the blankets and lifting her hips higher. He bit down harder, drawing some blood, as his cock splashed inside her. The hot feeling spreading around her belly, some of his seed seeping past his twitching manhood down her thighs. It was too much for her nearing release, as this pushed her over the edge. Lu Bu groaned, feeling her walls squeeze his sensitive cock. Releasing her shoulder from his mouth he sighed in relief, straightening a little still coming down from his high. Y/n recovered pretty quickly, it was part of her job after all. Her stamina outranked any girl in Louyang City.
She was slowly reaching for her cigarette holder again, thinking it's over when she felt him move his hands. Only for her surprise, when Lu Bu put his nose in her hair, thrusting with the same force and speed as at the very beginning. Y/n slimed for her self softly, pulling on his long hair.
This was going to be a long night. Only if she knew once Lu Bu leaves, she'll leave with him.

2020 End of Year Post - cdrama edition
This is only going to cover cdramas that aired in 2020; if I had to make a post about all the cdramas I watched this year, I would still be doing it in three months...
Overall it’s been a fairly decent cdrama year (certainly better than the very lacklustre kdrama year.) It’s no miracle that 2019 was (so many excellent dramas!) but overall pretty solid.
DRAMAS WATCHED
(In order of liking from least to most as opposed to pure quality; I am including if I’ve seen enough to make up my mind; yes I realize that’s inaccurate, but that’s my list)
44 The Legend of Jing Yan - the worst cdrama I have seen this year, and possibly the worst drama of 2020, period. The hero and heroine were both uncharismatic, incapable of acting and saddled with such shrilly moronic characters, the only suspense was how they haven’t both perished long since from forgetting to breathe. Nor was anyone in the rest of the cast much better; the screenplay was written by a lower mammal and the cinematography was the best a third-rate wedding cinematographer could offer. Stay the HELL away from this one.
43 Unicorn Girl - the only unicorn about this bland yet irritating piece of pap was the fact that I was supposed to believe the leads are hockey players.
42 Autumn Cicada - I like spy stories, Allen Ren, and Republican Era settings. I can tune out Communist propaganda with the best of them. Yet, the propaganda ate the story to such a degree that there was nothing left; pre magic change Pinocchio was less wooden then this narrative.
41 You Complete Me - no you do not.
40 Skate into Love - the only positive thing I can say about this is that at least it’s better than Unicorn Girl, if for no other reason that only one of them is supposed to be a hockey player.
39 Irreplaceable Love - how do you make a story about fake siblings with a mad mother falling for each other boring? I don’t know, ask the makers of this.
38 Eternal Love Rain - I hate to rain on their parade, but these two actors cannot act, have about as much chemistry as a piece of bread, and are trapped in a story perfect for entertaining the mental abilities of the leads of Jin Yan.
37 For Married Doctoress - ummmm, you could do worse I guess. It only made me break out in mild hives. The sadistic ending did make me laugh though.
36 Dance of the Sky Empire - why you get Xu Kai and waste him in this insipid mess of a story is beyond me.
35 Love Designer - it’s inoffensive except to my sense of entertainment. There is nothing wrong with it but oh God is it bland.
34 Love a Lifetime - It felt like a lifetime watching this, but I didn’t love it. The story is incoherent, the actors have no chemistry and it’s all an epic waste of time.
33 Love is Sweet - so sweet it gave me diabetes. I like Luo Yunxi and Bai Lu, but there is literally no plot. I don’t need to sink into a plotless morass to watch pretty people engage in PG-rated make-outs. I am an adult with access to stronger stuff if I am thus inclined, though to be fair they could get x-rated and I still wouldn’t be able to sit through so many episodes of plotlessness for that.
32 Fake Princess - I love Zhao Yi Qin, but the guy needs to pick better projects. The female lead in this one has the voice and personality that can strip paint but the story is also doing nobody any favors.
31 The Changan Youth - I lost my brain checking this out. I had to go and read a dense treatise on medieval coinage or Mayan farming to try to recover it.
30 My Dear Destiny - kinda cheesy fun. It honestly shouldn’t be as low except it really feels like community theater.
29 Handsome Siblings - why is the Nic Tse version so good and this one so bad? True mystery for the ages. Chen Zhe Yuan is the sole reason this isn’t lower, because that kid tries SO HARD to make this drama bearable and almost succeeds. I can’t wait to see him in Sha Po Lang which actually will give him something to do.
28 In a Class of Her Own - see my comment on The Changan Youth. But at least Song Weilong is gorgeous to look at.
27 General’s Lady - inoffensive, pretty and so utterly pointless.
26 The Blooms at Ruyi Pavilion - those two leading actors are a no go to me but at least they considerately acted with each other instead of ruining two dramas for me. It’s very pretty though.
25 Jiu Liu Overlord - it’s a mess and I bailed, but I placed it this high merely due to the fact that Lai Yi finally gets a leading role and he’s sexy as fuck and I am shallow. Whoever styled Bai Lu should never work again except at a circus, however.
24 Cross Fire - not my genre and Luhan will always look too much like my cousin for comfort, but it’s a surprisingly gripping and dark drama. I liked it!
23 God of Lost Fantasy - if you want to watch a mediocre wuxia/xianxia, this is not a bad choice. Probably better than Legend of Fei actually, because at least it doesn’t have an A-list cast to waste and gives us Sheng Yilun himbo and shirtless.
22 Renascence - the insane cuts (it went from 70 eps to 36!!!) made a fairly cheesy story into a total mess. But I had a good time until I finally bailed mainly because of the male lead (Chen Zhe Yuan yet again carrying a not-good 2020 drama on his shoulders; the guy should be nicknamed Atlas) and the insane but in a fun way story. The female lead (both the character and the actress) were not up to par but oh well.
21 Legend of Fei - only this high because objectively there is nothing I disliked it. But there is nothing I liked either. The most uninspired drama on the list. If you could eat cardboard, this is what it would taste like.
20 Ever Night 2 - compared to EN1, it’s a waste of film. On its own merits, it’s not very good (the cast replacements are uniformly inferior and Dylan Wang is so wrong for Ning Que I cannot even put it into words; the script is useless.) But it had some parts I loved so very VERY much (all the shippy stuff was perfection) so I don’t feel too bitter.
19 Castle in the Sky 2 - a lovely if not too complex fairy tale. It is inferior to its prequel because it doesn’t have Zhang Ruo Yun who elevated it, but it’s still a solid bit of fun.
18 The Great Ruler - it’s very high fantasy, very pretty, and surprisingly involving.
17 (tie) Legend of Two Sisters in the Chaos - the secondary couple steals the show but the rest is not too bad if not too involving.
17 Legend of Awakening - a solid bit of fun with a seriously BDSM streak (theme this year apparently - but come on, the lead’s powers only activate when he’s in extreme pain!) It’s a bit generic and the costuming is done by a blind person, not to mention the OTP is a NOTP, but the rest of relationships (romantic and platonic) are wonderful (I live for the found siblings story in this one) and I like most of the characters.
16 Consummation - a rare modern cdrama I liked; a sweet coming of age story (and love story) even if wrapped in a pretty weird virtual reality concept.
15 Oops the King is in Love - this is how you do a low budget, sweet, silly piece of fluff. Our heroine pretends to be a eunuch and crosses paths with a powerless young king and they are adorable, even more so than the drama.
14 Song of Glory - pretty solid, though draggy and I didn’t love the toothpaste filter. But A+ cast, excellent leading couple chemistry, Li Qin being a BAMF and a leading man (Qin Hao) who is actually an adult.
13 And the Winner is love - objectively kind of a mess (and the heroine has the brainpower of a gnat), but the OTP chemistry is excellent and Luo Yunxi fighting and flirting with a fan as finally a leading man is worth the price of admission.
12 Miss S - snazzy and snappy and stylish and whatever else starts with S.
11 Eternal Love of Dream - I don’t know if it would work for you as well if you weren’t a hardcore shipper for this OTP in Three Lives but I was and this was such a darling, wonderful, shippy delight; plus I love this type of high fantasy.
10 (tie) Maiden Holmes - solid and sweet and a wonderful OTP. Proves that functional doesn’t have to mean boring. If you watch one cross-dressing drama this year make it this one.
10 Qin Dynasty Epic - srs bsns history epic. I am not far into it but it’s so good and smart and visually stunning (if you love battles, this one is for you.)
9 Love Lasts Two Minds - I adored this so much more than I should objectively have, but it’s so beautiful (and no I am not just referring to Alan Yu’s face) and the OTP has wonderful chemistry and the story is solid, and the whole trope of her memory being wiped but falling for him all over again while he’s constantly and utterly devoted is a fave; plus he’s in pain and semi-dyng for most of it so sluuuurp (happy ending, don’t worry)
8 To Love - yes, a modern drama is this high! But it involves intensity, tragedy, genuine adults and sexiness that is Lin Gengxin. And there is an actual plot and darkness OMG!
7 Legend of Xiao Chuo - so beautiful, so fun, so full of gorgeousness of Shawn Dou. Plus, Liao is a rare setting for a cdrama and there are a lot of characters and stories I liked a LOT. Less ship content than I wanted but more than I expected.
6 The Romance of Tiger and Rose - so so delightful. I was literally laughing out loud. I have no idea if it will work as well if one isn’t a seasoned watcher of period cdrama/reader of web novels, with bonus for watching/reading Goodbye My Princess, but it was a complete delight for me (and yes, I shipped for real, as well. Best of both worlds.)
5 Twisted Fate of Love - Jin Han gets a leading period drama role! And he’s enjoying it to the hilt, excellent as a smart, twisty bastard who is also charming and so madly in love with heroine. Sun Yi is beautiful and tough and her chemistry with JH is on fire, the story never drags, and it’s so twisty and fun and just awesome.
4 Love In Between - the most underrated drama on this list. It has no big names or big budget, but it’s wuxia that’s clever, driven, tragic, hopeful and so beautifully shot. Three separate (amazing) OTPs, a leading man who is so not typical (a doctor who cannot fight and who never acquires this ability) and who is intense and smart and damaged, a heroine who puts her quest ahead of her emotions, an unhealthy degree of involvement by yours truly. This is a drama Fei should have been.
3 Love and Redemption - such a lovely, addictive, utterly romantic fairy tale. I was obsessed with it for a reason. All the tropes you love and some you didn’t know you did, a star-crossed OTP to the nth power (and a secondary OTP I hardcore love), a twisty yet coherent plot, some insane chemistry and so much whump and hurt/comfort they must have bought blood packets in bulk.
2 Go Ahead - yes, I can’t believe it either. A contemporary slice of life cdrama made it this high on my list. But the way it feels so real, the found family perfection, the characters I love and loathe, the perfect cherry of a wonderful OTP that hits my narrative kinks on top, and just a perfect storm of loveliness all around with this one.
1 The Wolf - is that any surprise to anyone who’s checked out this tumblr for the last couple of months? Tragic, intense and gorgeous; so romantic and angsty and passionate it made me lose my mind (though some of it was gone the moment the camera panned to Darren Wang) - all my favorite tropes and then some; this is a drama that may not be perfect but it is 100% and then beyond perfect for ME.
FAVORITE DRAMA
The Wolf - I have seen objectively better cdramas; even this year. But it has been literal years since I have been this hardcore obsessed, this utterly pleased, this emotionally catered to and devastated at once. A beautiful dark fairy tale that manages to own me despite the storytelling gaps due to censorship, it took me for one of the biggest emotional roller coaster rides of my drama watching career. Visually gorgeous, poetic, intense, and so romantic it took my breath away, this is not just my favorite cdrama of 2020, it’s my favorite drama this year period, and the one cdrama this year to make it into my permanent Top 10 cdramas list.
WORST DRAMA
Legend of Jin Yan - see my write up for it for why as I refuse to waste more time on this stupid mess.
FAVORITE MALE CHARACTER
Wolfie, The Wolf - he is such a haunted, tormented, complex, dark mess; loving and violent, severely damaged and with a hidden yearning softness, longing and aloof. And the amount of charisma and sheer masculine sex appeal Darren Wang brings to the role is insane and not something I see much of in a cdrama. Plus, that character arc with its rapid fall and slow painful redemption is A++++
Runner Up:  Sifeng, Love and Redemption - has a male lead ever loved more utterly and selflessly, suffered more thoroughly and beautifully, and managed to have such chemistry with both his leading lady and his leading man (that his leading lady temporarily turned into) at once? The answer is no.
Almost made the cut - Feng Xi, Twisted Fate of Love, Han Shuo, The Romance of Tiger and Rose, Qing Ci, Love in Between.
FAVORITE FEMALE CHARACTER
Xiao Qian, The Romance of Tiger and Rose - so funny, so much the reason this drama was such a delight. I adore her beyond words.
NEEDS TO BE MURDERED
Murder Daddy, The Wolf - I am sad the censors robbed us of seeing him die on screen. He was fully human but nonetheless managed to be the worst monster in a drama full of literal ones.
Ling Xiao’s Mom, Go Ahead - I hate her so much I don’t want to look up her name. She abused the kid, the disappeared and came back to abuse him some more. I mean she literally gave her child mental health issues. She is the WORST.
FAVORITE SHIP
Xing’er x Wolfie, The Wolf - are you kidding me? Who else could it ever be for me? They destroyed each other and saved each other, sworn enemies and childhood lovers, soulmates and epic messes, they couldn’t live with or without each other. The longing, the passion, the intensity, the angst, the epicness. LIKE THERE ARE NO WORDS!!!!
FAVORITE SECONDARY OTP
Si Yuan, Shen Manqing, Love in Between - I loved them as much and often more than the main OTP. So much angst and passion and a happy ending! She is a seeming sect darling (except the sect is horrible and also sexist so her only worth is as a marriage candidate) and he’s an information broker who is actually one of the members of a destroyed sect that’s blamed for the massacre of her family. That chemistry and yearning is insane. The scene where she touches his face when he’s unconscious was in serious running for my favorite scene of 2020.
NOTP
Legend of Awakening - I have never seen a couple that didn’t just have no chemistry but exhibited actual revulsion towards each other before watching Chen Feiyu and Cheng Xiao try to act as lovers in this one. It was almost entertaining to be honest.
FAVORITE SCENE
It’s a tie and both are from The Wolf. One is a sequence where Wolfie marches to the walls alone, seeking death at Xing’er’s hands and the whole sequence with the battle and rescue follows. The other is the intercut between Xing’er going to her wedding and Wolfie going to his execution, and the auto-da-fe being intercut with her wedding.
BIGGEST CRUSH
Wolfie, The Wolf - Ummm have you seen this tumblr lately, it’s basically a drool shrine to the man.
BEST SCENE STEALER CHARACTER
Yelü Yansage, The Legend of Xiao Chuo - I have loved this actor since The Myth and he continued to competently steal every scene he was in.
NEEDS A SEQUEL
To Love - come out of the coma, dammit!!!!!!!
NEEDS A DIRECTOR’S CUT
The Wolf - duh. It started out as 59 eps and got cut to 49. I reaiize some stuff is never gonna get put in due to censorship, but some of the stuff that got cut got for time reasons because they were deluded and hoping to get a TV broadcast so ep count had to be under 50. I mean I doubt the censors would care if they kept scenes of Wolfie building her a swing or whatever. I really really want a director’s cut the way Goodbye My Princess did even if like with GMP it’s only three extra eps. Hell, I will take extra three minutes, as long as those three minutes are Darren Wang shirtless or with a sword. Ahem.
NEEDS SCISSORS TAKEN TO IT
The Song of Glory - it’s a fairly solid drama but honestly it didn’t need to be as long as it was and kind of got draggy and I got lost interest. (I could have gotten snarky and said all the dramas I didn’t like needed scissors taken to them in their entirety but decided to play nice.)
TOO MANY SCISSORS TAKEN TO IT
There are a number of dramas I could complain about with regard to this (hi there, darling The Wolf!) but this award goes to Renascence - poor Renascence was never going to be a masterpiece, but it had the potential to be a bit of good cheesy fun until it had its run time cut by more than half and became an incoherent piece of insanity.
TROPE THAT NEEDS TO DIE
Dumb shrill innocent heroine who can’t tie her shoes - see basically all the cdramas I didn’t like this year.
FAVORITE TROPE WE’VE SEEN A LOT OF
Male lead torture - I mean it’s always open season on that in cdramas, but between Love and Redemption, The Wolf, Love Lasts Two Minds, Love in Between and so on, it was a banner year!
BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT
Legend of Fei - what a waste of that cast; what a waste of our finite time on this Earth. What a waste of my intelligence to hope for something better and stick with it for a dozen eps. I have had stale wonderbread that had more personality than this drama.There is absolutely nothing that stands out about this drama in any way,  from half-dimensional characters, to actors who are sleepwalking, to a plot that moves at the speed of an arthritic snail, to uninspired cinematography and direction, to lack of any chemistry between anyone in the cast. If paint-by-numbers was done by a group of particularly linear robots, it might come across the same way as this drama.
BIGGEST GOOD SURPRISE
The Wolf - honestly, I did not expect it to come out AT ALL EVER let alone to become my favorite drama of 2020. I was not familiar with the leading man (hahah), I liked Li Qin but wasn’t yet obsessed with her, and Xiao Zhan was excellent in The Untamed but I was hardly going to follow him from drama to drama (and I don’t do SLS any way.) And the trailer was enjoyable but unlike seemingly everyone, I didn’t think it was going to be some epic masterpiece. And then it came out and while it wasn’t objectively an epic masterpiece, it pulled out all the favorite tropes, shippy and narrative kinks from the deepest darkest recesses of my id. And I fell harder than I have in years. 
2020 DRAMAS I HAVEN’T SEEN THAT I MOST WANT TO WATCH
None. Covid Year gave me PLENTY of time
BEST NON-2020 DRAMA I’VE WATCHED IN 2020
Novoland Eagle Flag and Joy of Life - they are in my Top 10 dramas from anywhere now. They are quite different except being smart and giving me protagonists to obsess over.
ETA: Also The Untamed because @idlewilds3 pointed out I actually watched it in 2020 even though I didn’t think so because this hellyear has lasted about three decades.
MOST ANTICIPATED IN 2021
I am gonna limit it to dozen and leaving out ones that aren’t necesarily supposed to air next year (Joy of Life 2, Love in Flames of War, Novoland Princess from Plateau.)
Monarch Industry, Novoland Pearl Eclipse, Silk Washing Stream, Dream of Changan, Sword Snow Stride, Wu Xing Shi Jia, Ancient Love Poetry, Immortality, The Long Ballad, Mirror Twin Cities, The Imperial Age, Fall In Love
