[asylumraised]

there had been a stir of reports of something on the border of prythian causing trouble with the mortals. more than normal , humans were coming into their territory through the gap in the wall. none returned. the humans hadn't raised a fuss about most of them , given those lost were from that odd cult of them that worshipped the fae. so long as those humans came here of their own volition , their lives were forfeit according to the treaty. while no act of war , it was enough of a problem to draw the ire of the humans near the border.

so tamlin sent his general to see if he could find a source of trouble -- see if it was fae at all. the humans could not distinguish anything outside of their own species , so it would fall on the fae's shoulders regardless.

finding @vulpesse was unexpected. the mechanical golden left eye whirs in its socket as lucien's gaze flickers over the woman. everything in him stirs with warning. she is not of his kind -------- no , she feels older than his kind altogether. the smell of humans led him here. more specifically , blood. if he feels fear , it does not show on his face as he offers her a charming grin &* a sweeping , low bow. ❛ i hope you can forgive the intrusion , my lady. 𝐌𝐘 𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄 𝐈𝐒 𝐋𝐔𝐂𝐈𝐄𝐍 𝐕𝐀𝐍𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐑𝐀. i'm an emissary for the spring court of prythian.   my high lord sent me out to see what the fuss with the humans might pertain to. ❜ an auburn brow arches. ❛   you wouldn't happen to know anything about that , would you ? ❜

STARTER CALL ( accepting ! )

Emo for Laenor now??? First off, he's gay in homophobic ass Westeros. Second, it's clear from when he talks w Rhaenyra that he did the equivalent of peaking in high school but all he knows is being a soldier in a war due to him being in the Stepstones at young age. Then, his beloved sister dies, solidifying that his youth is officially over... Idk there's a wistful nostalgia to Laenor that goes underutilized in HOTD

Babysitter/Bodyguard AU

MCs: ZhongXiao & Qiqi

Zhongli who is at war with many other regions, including the one where Xiao is enslaved in, and who also has a child who is Qiqi. Xiao who runs into her in his master's land and realizes that oh shit, she's from Morax's land and she cannot be here!! Qiqi, of course, is like not worried because in her eyes her dad is very powerful and will always keep her safe, not realizing that she's not in her dad's land meaning he doesn't have any special powers there and she is in a lot of danger should anyone find out who she is. Xiao doesn't know who is her dad and doesn't give her the chance to explain and tries to get her to leave. Qiqi is still trying to collect plants for medicine and refuses to leave because there is a lot of plants there and she still thinks that she's home. She climbs up a mountain and Xiao is immediately noping out, but rushes back to save her when she's about to fall. After all, it's not like his master ordered him to not save the child and it's not like he's disobeying and she doesn't have to know he's technically helping the enemy

He saves her and gathers all the plants she wanted and gave her a quick blessing to protect her and help her travel faster into her land undetected and unharmed. It works really well to the point where it's still active by the time she arrives home and sees her family freaking out that she was missing for so long. She doesn't understand what the big deal was and just said that she made a nice new friend, but she never actually got his name. Skip forward where Qiqi constantly goes over to try and find her new friend and Xiao is like no, no, no, leave right now, but can't bring himself to be mean about it.

A party with all neighboring kingdoms/nations invited is held including his lady who is quite antagonistic about it. They will go but really it's more so an excuse for her to observe Morax's palace and look for any weak points. Of course, she nor any of her people could attack without starting a war, but it was better to have information just in case. While they're in a foreign kingdom/nation they would have to listen to that ruler's orders as a sign of respect but they needn't try to hard, just enough to get others off their case. Xiao immediately spots Qiqi from across the room and realized who she is. She's the reason why the party was thrown in the first place. The birthday party of the little lady of liyue. A party that went south when someone tried to take advantage of the situation. It's quickly resolved, but Morax notices how is daughter clinged onto one of his foes when she was scared. Xiao's master also notices it and considers this new information carefully.

The child seeks him out on other special occasions. He rebuffs each attempt. Acknowledging her and the little friendship they created would be equivalent to handing his master the spear to strike directly at Morax's heart and ending his reign. She was just a child after all. Easy to manipulate and easy to please. So he says harsh words with cold eyes. He says them even as his heart begins to hurt and says them even as she looks at him with tears in her eyes and says them when her family looks at him with such hatred for hurting her.

Later on, when his master goes against Morax, he cant bring himself to watch Qiqi get killed and takes a fatal blow meant for her. It's a stupid move, so stupid that everyone stops fighting for a second to process it. He passes out from the pain still holding her in his arms. When he is interrogated he lies. He lies because there's no point in trying to get out of this live. He just wants it all to end already. Eventually, Morax wins the battle against Xiao's master and Xiao is set to be executed, but Qiqi asks to talk to him privately first. She tries to interrogate him because she doesn't understnd why he's so nice one second then so mean the next. He can't hide the truth from her and explains as best he can so as to not leave her wondering after his death. Though he does not notice her father listening in on their conversation.

A few weeks later and it is decided that his punishment is to guard the little lady and the king after much persuading from her and a lot of thinking from her father. From there other stuff happens and Xiao is really confused as to why the fuck he's still alive and why they want him of all people to protect some of the most important people in their nation. Cue shenanigans and Qiqi using her big brain to get them together so she can have her perfect happy family.
