Willuz prompts:

- Willow and her bumblebee Palisman grow an extravagant topiary of her and Luz, adorned with beautiful bouquets of flowers (as well as make delicious honey) for Luz to thank her for everything.

- Kind of a recap of Season 1's Luz and Willow adventures, but with the notable highlight that Willow gives Luz an appropriate flower bouquet as thanks of helping her out (can be combined with previous prompt if preferable)

- Amity and Hunter argue which of the two Luz loves the most, only to find Luz on a date/making out with Willow in a secluded, forested area, maybe with blossoming flowers (this is a non-serious fic as an allegory to the whole shipping war at the moment, but could come off as a bit mean :P)

- Luz practices with her Glyphs once more to make nice flowers and topiaries for Willow.

- Willow has a crush on Luz and can't help but feel a little jealous when she and Amity get close instead. Willow is too shy to confess her feelings for Luz, fearing rejection, and doesn't want to be in hot water with Amity again after they're finally getting along since their breach years ago. Willow wants to be happy for them, but Gus notices her depression.

- Boscha has thrashed Willow's beautiful plant garden, a passion project that's been taken years, and Willow is despaired by this, too depressed to continue and rebuild. Luz decides to fix the garden and improve it.

@Arendalphaeagle gave theses wonderful prompts so I have went with fourth one. The request was suppose to be uploaded on A03 but it didn't work out so until further notice all Willuz requests will be uploaded here. Feel free to drop ya'll request in my ask box. Enjoy.

A flower for Willow

Luz tapped the symbol emitting a green light and a single flower merge. She looks over at her spell book that specializes in plant magic for something new. She had committed her time to mastering a new glyph, hoping it would create the perfect gift for Willow. Luz didn't care if she spent the whole night out here and woke up with tired eyes caked with crust. Starting earlier this week would have been the wise thing to do but studying for her witch classes ate up the time. In a sluggish motion the sun disappeared behind the trees, allowing the moon to provide a dim light and usher in darkness. Luz casted a luminous orb as she read the instruction on how to evoke multiple flowers. She read the guide once more then traced the symbol on paper and activated it. A patch of lavender and lilac flowers bloom before her, this was just what she needed. Luz would allow her artistic skills to do the rest, she took her book and went inside. 

She found Eda knocked out on the couch with an empty cup of apple blood dangling from her hand. A smile spread on her lips seeing the grey-haired witch in her apple blood coma. King was probably upstairs waiting for Luz's return so they could continue watching an anime series that she had downloaded on her phone. Upon entering the room Luz sees King scowling one of his stuffed animals.

When he noticed her presence. He stopped chiding the pink rabbit, "Oh hey Luz, are you ready to watch soul eater with me?" He asked, sitting on the sleeping mat.

"Not tonight love," She replied.

"Why not?!" King whined.

Luz faced the opposite direction and stripped from her outwear into pj's. She put them near the mat and got out her sketch pad.

"I have to finish a gift for Willow," she said, sitting down to begin sketching her friend's face.

"You can finish it tomorrow, I've been watching all week for us to watch soul eater!" 

"Sorry King, I promise we will watch it together tomorrow" she assured.

The furry demon grumbled under his breath and joined her on the mat. "What are you drawing anyways?" He asked, peeking over her shoulder.

"A picture of Willow" she responded.

"What's the occasion?"

"None, I just want to do something nice for my friend," she said.

"Do you have anything else in mind?"

Luz had finished Willow's eyes and moved on to her nose, "Tomorrow I'm 

going to create a plant statue with this picture".

"I want a plant statue of me!" King cried. 

Luz chuckled.

"And you've been doing a lot for Willow lately, last week you went out of your way to get her that plant baby".

Luz's heart raced, she already knew the next words coming, "She sounds more than a friend" King commented. 

"Friends do things for each other all the time" Luz struggled to tolerate her frisky heart, hoping the tone of her voice wasn't a dead give away.

"Eh, if you say so."

The room fell in silence and Luz worked diligently on Willow's portrait. The plant witch dominates her thoughts, now her heart flutters thinking of those olive green eyes behind the thin-rimmed glasses. The way her ear twitched at sudden noises. Willow had been nothing but a sweet-heart since day, she deserved the world and Luz was willing to give her it. Although these feelings bloomed, she didn't know if it was mutual on Willow's end, and she would keep them buried away. When Luz finally looked up from her sketch-pad King was fast asleep at the edge of her mat. She set aside the finished product and got some rest.

Later that night, Luz had woken up to relieve her heavy bladder, she carefully stepped over a sleeping King and visited the bathroom. After washing her hands, she found herself outside.

 The moon's bright orbs brighten her path as she walks through the woods. Luz was a moth drawn to light, she felt compelled to keep moving. The orbs glowed rapidly like glistening gems, Luz could hear the vibration. She was led into the opening and a massive bush that resembled Willow's head came in view. 

Woah...

"Thank you Luz!" It says

"Huh?"

Its large yellow luminous remind her of fireflies, she had accidentally swallowed one when she was seven.

"Thank you" it repeated.

"What for?" Luz asked.

She didn't get a response to her question,7 the bush thanked Luz on an endless loop. Suddenly, gravity reeled her forward and its mouth opened wide, swallowing her. 

Luz was expecting to be engulfed in darkness, her eyes were squeezed shut. She felt warmth and a chubby body press against hers, opening her eyes. Luz realized it was Willow. She embraced the plant witch hug and gently ran her hand along Willow's turquoise hair. 

"Luz!" 

Everything faded. Luz woke up in her makeshift room with an annoyed little demon held prisoner in her arms. "Luz let go!" He whines struggling to break free.

"Sorry.." she said sheepishly.

Luz released him and King scurried off on all fours. She took care of her personal hygiene then returned to the room for her uniform. When Luz went downstairs, Eda was waiting at the door with her staff. She wore her pajamas. "Can we take the tub?” 

“No, its for emergencies only”

“Please” Luz said, giving the grey haired woman pitiful eyes.

“I’m immune to those” Eda stated dismissively.

“But you can’t be the coolest witch without it,” 

“Keep it up and you’ll be walking to school” Eda said heading out the door. 

--

The schoolyard was still empty when Luz hopped off the staff. She watched Eda fly away, disappearing over the autumn colored trees. Luz took out her plant magic textbook and turned to the page about manipulation. After she got a good understanding, she pulled out the portrait of Willow and drew two symbols on them. Luz crossed her fingers and tapped the paper, a stem sprouted forth and the leaves took on the form of Willow's face. Two Lilac flowers blossomed on both sides, the topiary was the size of a miniature house plant. She had expected bigger  but before Luz could sulk her crush arrived. 

"Willow!" She quickly hid the plant behind her back.

"Hey" Willow smiled. 

Luz felt butterflies tickling her stomach, she forced a skittish smile and revealed the topiary. Willow eyes widened with astonishment, she took the plant from Luz's hands.

"Aww thanks" Willow shifted the plant in her other arm and gave her a hug. Luz no longer had butterflies pestering her insides. The euphoria buttered her up, if Luz hadn't stopped herself she would have kissed Willow. For a brief moment, the turquoise haired witch stared at her. Luz was about to look away but Willow touched her cheek and gently kissed her lips. She led Luz by the hand towards the school building.

Dinner with the Fishes

Writer’s Notes: Here’s my dabble at writing for this adorable ot3. I might write a second part, but here’s the road so far. 

///

Lan Xichen can’t help but smile from behind the top of his sketchbook. Enjoying watching his neighbor turned friend to mutual crush with his boyfriend, Nie Mingjue, tidying up the coffee table. Jiang Cheng is a work of art and he’s glad he’s already sitting down on his couch, because he’d been swaying a bit if he wasn’t. 

Jiang Cheng sat on the floor with his back to him. His long black hair pulled back in a messy braid showing off his neck. The tip of a snake’s tail peeping out from the collar of his soft plum henley and jeans that hugged his runners legs. An adorable child’s hand swipe of dried yellow paint from his cheek to his sharp jawline. 

“What would you like for me to lay out for dinner before Mingjue-ge gets back, Xichen-ge?” Jiang Cheng asked, gathering up the brightly finger painted drawings that he, Lan Xichen, and Jin Ling were working on before Jin Ling wanted to watch Zootopia. Then the little one fell asleep in Jiang Cheng’s lap. Jiang Cheng checked his watch, seeing that his nephew was due to wake up at any moment from his nap in the guest bedroom.  

“How about some steaks? I’m sure that A-Jue would be more than happy to grill them for us for dinner.” Lan Xichen cheerfully smiled at him when Jiang Cheng looked over his shoulder. A small frown on the younger man’s lips.

“Oh, you don’t have to do that. We can make something at our apartment. Besides you've already had your hands full with us all day.” Jiang Cheng countered turning around to look at him. 

“Hardly,” Lan Xichen chuckled, his gaze traveling down to his cast covered leg propped up on a plush pillow,“Besides, I remember distinctly being right here for ninety-nine percent of the day.” 

Jiang Cheng huffed while rolling his eyes,”Oh, please, you wouldn’t even have that broken leg if it wasn’t for us.” His gaze shifted to Lan Xichen’s leg. 

“Now, Jiang Cheng we’ve talked about this.” Lan Xichen said softly, because ,yes,  they have talked about it. His broken leg was his own fault. Also during those talks that’s how they came to the arrangement of Jiang Cheng coming over to help out while Nie Mingjue is at work. The two counting themselves lucky with being able to get to know Jiang Cheng and Jin Ling better.

As the other stood up to take the paintings over to Jin Ling’s backpack, he looked down at his sketches of Jin Ling with bumblebee antennas and wings in different stages of movement. A thin smile on his lips as he thinks about how his leg got broken. It’d been about a week ago that’d passed Jiang Cheng and Jin Ling’s apartment, and that’s when he made the mistake of not watching where he was going, and tripped over the toy that Jin Ling had dropped. 

“So, I’ll go lay out the steaks then. Do you want anymore tea while I am in the kitchen?” Jiang Cheng asked, starting towards the kitchen. His sapphire eyes landed on the empty tea cup on the coffee table as he went. 

“For all of us and yes, please.” Lan Xichen answered, smiling as the other grabbed his cup. He heard the other man mumble something he couldn’t understand but chose not to inquire. If today was the day that they got Jiang Cheng and Jin Ling Yo stay for dinner he’d consider it a success. 

Jiang Cheng returned to the living room with a fresh cup of tea and seeing Lan Xichen trying to get his hair that had fallen in his face out of the way. By the second huff, Jiang Cheng couldn’t hold back the laughter that’d been bubbling up this throat. 

“Here let me help.” Jiang Cheng chuckled setting the cup on the coaster. Lan Xichen stilled as he felt lithe fingers move into his hair. “I’ll braid it back for you like I did A-Ling, while we were painting. Honestly, I should have done it then for you too because you got some of the paint in your hair.” 

“Thank you.” Lan Xichen replied feeling heat rising in his cheeks as Jiang Cheng braided his hair. To keep from focusing on the hands in his hair, Lan Xichen started working again on his sketches. Soon he had another page filled this time with bumblebee Jin Ling playing with a puppy.

“Oh, I see that someone got some inspiration today?” Jiang Cheng teasingly commented, looking over Lan Xichen’s shoulder to see what the other was working on while he worked Lan Xichen’s silky black hair in his hands. 

“Yes, he’s just too cute.” Lan Xichen stated, “and lovely. It’s nice to draw these types of movements.” 

“I’d be careful letting A-Ling see these especially with that puppy on there. You’ll never see them again.” Jiang Cheng stated in playful warning. 

“Good, then I know that he’ll enjoy the gift I’m making him.”  Lan Xichen stated cheerifully. A pleasant thrill in his veins at knowing that Jiang Cheng thinks that Jin Ling will like them. 

“Speaking of A-Ling.” Jiang Cheng chuckled as the sound of a child’s whine coming from the spare room the moment he finished braiding the others hair using one of his own violet hair ties on his wrist that he uses for Jin Ling and his own hair.

“Go ahead, I’ll be right here.” Lan Xichen replies smiling fondly up at him. He noticed a quick flicker of something in Jiang Cheng’s gaze before it was gone and Jiang Cheng nodded before heading to their nephew. As he watched Jiang Cheng head towards the bedrooms, Lan Xichen reached up to gently feel the braid. A warmth blossoming in his chest. He wondered what Nie Mingjue would think of his hair like this. Would he be sorry he’d recently cut his hair so short? Chuckling, Lan Xichen went back to his sketches. 

It takes a little while for Jiang Cheng and Jin Ling to come out of the spare room. Lan Xichen looks up seeing that the little one in Jiang Cheng’s arms is red faced and puffy eyed. Jiang Cheng had a worried frown on his lips. The smile on Lan Xichen’s face thinned. “Is he okay?” 

“Just a nightmare.” Jiang Cheng replied as his phone started to ring. Both of them recognize the ringtone as being the one for Jiang Cheng’s liaison at the company. 

“Here let me take him and you answer that.” Lan Xichen said, setting aside his book, putting the pencil behind his ear, before reaching out for the toddler. 

“I…” Jiang Cheng started but stopped when Jin Ling sniffled making grabby hands to Lan Xichen. 

Lan Xichen inwardly preened and accepted the boy in his arms. Jin Ling’s little arms wrapping around his neck as he laid his head on Lan Xichen’s shoulder. A smile on his lips as he rubbed soothing circles on his back. Jiang Cheng stood there for a moment watching them. That look from earlier returning till he met Lan Xichen’s honeyed gaze, then he quickly went for his phone. He answered the phone while walking out onto the balcony to take the call. 

“It will be okay, little one.” Lan Xichen said, using the one he’d used with Lan Wangji as a child. Jin Ling’s response was muffled by his shoulder making him chuckle. His gaze briefly wandered to the balcony seeing Jiang Cheng lean on the railing, gesturing as he talked.

“You’re one of Jiujiu’s fishies too!” Jin Ling said cheerfully, rubbing his eyes and nose, before leaning back in his lap pulling two fishtail braids over his shoulders to show them off. They looked adorable with his hair being Blackish-brown ombreing to golden blond. 

“I am.” He chuckled,blushing at the thought and silent scolding himself at the same time, while Jin Ling started talking about going to the aquarium with his shushu and A-She. Somehow the conversation led to them talking about what kinds of fish and animals they’d be. 

“You’d be’s a sea pancake, Mr. Lan!”

“Oh why not a koi like you?” Lan Xichen laughed. Gently tickling the boy making him squeal in laughter until he falls back on his chest to try to stop him but failing. 

“Be’s-cause you smiles like them!” Jin Ling cackles making Lan Xichen laugh. Before he can say anything back Jin Ling’s head snaps towards the front door at the sound of the alarm chiming that the door has opened. 

“Mr. Nie!” Jin Ling cries out happily, squirming to get out of Lan Xichen’s lap to run over to Nie Mingjue as he’s coming inside. Immediately, Nie Mingjue drops down to a knee as Jin Ling launches himself at him. 

“Hey, little man.” Nie Mingjue chuckles as Jin Ling hugs him tight. He hugs back, lifting him up easily as he stands. Closing the door with his foot then kicking off his boots. 

“Did you’s miss us?” Jin Ling asked loosening his grip so that Nie Mingjue can move him to his hip to walk to the living room.

“Yes, I did.” Nie Mingjue answered happily. He was about to ask if he’d been missed when he spotted Jiang Cheng on the balcony talking on the phone and Lan Xichen on the couch. His eyes stopping on the intricate braiding of his boyfriend’s hair. He didn’t need to ask who’d done it. Jiang Cheng’s beautiful work was something he’d seen countless times and currently in Jin Ling’s waist length locks. 

“I’d welcome you home but I see, Jin Ling has beat me too it.” Lan Xichen teased, giving him a wink while smiling brightly, knowing what had caught Nie Mingjue’s attention. 

“I’m sorry that the call took so lon...oh welcome home, Mingjue-ge.” Jiang Cheng greeted him as he stepped back inside. A thin smile on his face as he stepped up to get Jin Ling, “I’ll take him.” 

“No, need.” Nie Mingjue waved him off earning a toothy grin from Jin Ling, “What are you hungry for little man?” 

“Pancakes!!! Blueberry ones-is, Mr. Nie with jiujiu’s octapuddy piggy’s, and ‘ruit zalad.” Jin Lin answered. 

“That sounds delicious.” Nie Mingjue cooed,”Why don’t you go play while me and Jiujiu make dinner? 

“O’tay!” Jin Ling happily yelped as Nie Mingjue put him down scampering off to the guest room. 

“What are octapuddy piggy’s?” Nie Mingjue asked, tone teasingly with a look in his eye that made Jiang Cheng blush and his heart skip a beat. 

“Mini sausages.” Jiang Cheng answers, fidgeting for a moment under both Lan Xichen and Nie Mingjue stares. 

“Alright, well text me what goes in your fruit salad, Jiang Cheng.” Nie Mingjue chuckled relenting, as he steps over to the couch and gives Lan Xichen a quick peck on the lips. “I’ll be right back.” 

“Where are you going?” Jiang Cheng asks, wide eyed blinking in confusion as Nie Mingjue started back towards the doorway. 

“I don’t think we have any of that do we, sweetheart?” Nie Mingjue asked over his shoulder, already working to get his shoes back on. 

“We have the blueberries in the freezer, my love.” Lan Xichen answered, a smile that Jiang Cheng didn’t have time to question before Nie Mingjue was moving again. 

“Oh, he can just eat what we are having.” Jiang Cheng swallowed, his heart starting to race at the thought of them both wanting to take care of Jin Ling. 

“Nonsense, Jiang Cheng, he’s a child. Children are supposed to be spoiled.” Nie Mingjue replies grabbing his keys. “I’ll be back. The QuickMarket down the street is still open and will have what we need.”

Before Jiang Cheng could object the man was gone. He knew he looked like a gaping fish as he turned to look at Lan Xichen but he was just speechless. He could feel the heat rising on his cheeks again.

“Xichen-ge -“

“What should we have with our steaks?” Lan Xichen asked, not letting the other continue. Nie Mingjue and him have been trying to get Jiang Cheng to stay for dinner with Jin Ling and now that they have the opportunity tonight they weren’t going to let the moment go.

M.C. CLEAN! Fledglings! Old Council members (and Inarius), what's the general opinion on them? How traumatised/entertained do the mortals look by the descriptions?

The screen flickers on once more and Tevar can be seen, sitting on the couch with a rather disgruntled Aladria in her bathrobe, with a cup of tea between her hands. 

“Tevar...do you have to do this now? I’m trying to relax.”

“This is the only time we get to hang out together these days, what with you and Itherael practically giving each other CPR every-”

“I have a cup of hot tea and I will use it on you.”Tevar shot her a look, huffing light as he sat back, “Fine fine....so...onto the topic of this video....showing off what our darling angels looked as babies! By digging around in old storerooms of Heaven and through ingenious casual conversation, I have located the fabled portraits of their youth.”

Aladria arched an eyebrow, taking a sip of her tea, “Wait...you got baby pictures?”

“It turns out i is a rather common tradition for older angels to commission pictures of little angels and trust me, they are as adorable as you think. So I thought it would be nice to show them to our public and then compare them to what they grew up into!”

Aladria shifted some, taking another sip of her tea thoughtfully before letting out a sigh and giving a reluctant lot, “That honestly does sound kind of fun.” “See? I have good ideas!” He chuckled before turning to reach over the couch pulling forth the first scroll, “And up first, let’s look at your dear Itherael as a tyke!”

With a flourish, he unrolled the scroll to reveal a small, nervous looking angel, sitting on a stool, wings pulled tight and clutching a stuffed animal to his chest, “Our resident librarian looks like such a nervous child. The emotional support teddy bear gives that away! Wings too big, body too small, but one-hundred percent adorable.”

A close-up of the picture slid onto the screen, no done in post editing with a picture of Itherael as a proper adult next to it, “And little nerd grew into the king of nerds and here they sit upon their gamer chair throne, safe-guarding the internet and collecting all its dark secrets and porn.”

“Tevar!” 

“Aladria, I will bet my life ten times over that he has seen something in his browsing of the internet that has caused a spiritual awakening and is hidden in the deepest reaches of his picture folder.”

She gave a roll of her eyes, “Not everyone is a internet gremlin like you...”

“No....some are goblins.” Tevar retorted before moving to pull out the next fledgling picture, “Next, we have Auriel who is not here but..well... given her baby portrait, pretty sure if she was, she would rule the world.”He unfurled the scroll to reveal a picture of young Auriel sitting astride a vicious baby cherubim, one hand on her hip, the other holding a streamer caught in the wind. “Her parents clearly expected her to rule the world and unfortunately, we haven’t found her yet so...no comparison picture, but given her reputation, she feels like the mom you don’t want to piss off because she will come into school, fight all the teachers, kick out the teeth of all the bullies, frighten the cops into submission and have the president pardon her of all crimes out of pure fear.”

Aladria snorted, “....you make her sound scary. She is probably just not the kind of person to take things lying down.”

“Except, you know...prime evils.”

The man yelped as Aladria kicked out of him with a scowl, “What?”“Not funny.”

“Okay okay...she was the one making the demon lord-ow!”

“One more joke like that and I’m going to get the teapot and douse you in scalding water.” Aladria warned, taking a sip of her tea, eyes narrowed.

Tevar ducked his head, grumbling as he turned around, “Okay okay, let’s move on....next we got the resident terror that sasses in the night, Malthael.”He unfurled the baby portrait tapestry showing Malthael standing their awkwardly, half hunched over and looking like the artists had barely been able to sketch out his outline before he had run. “I’ve heard he was a shy boy and a half feral angry child, born forever in his goth phase,” Tevar said as the screen showed a picture of an adult Malthael looking up from where he sat, “A goth phase that went from “I’m rebelling against society in my teenage emo phase’ to absolutely terrifying nightmare goth that hides in your closet, creeps along your ceiling and fills your dreams with dank memes.”

Aladria arched an eyebrow, “What?” 

“He is very dangerous Aladria. I went down with Imperius once to talk to him, and he memed us. Imperius didn’t get it. Imperius still is living in ye old time of ancients, but I did...and I was terrified,” Tevar said grimly, “He is powerful.”

“I don’t think being able to use memes makes you...powerful Tevar?”

“Oh ye of so little appreciation of dank memes,” He drawled,”You’ll understand one day the sass he wields....and speaking of Imperius...he’s next!”

Tevar was trying hard not to laugh as he unfurled the tapstery showing a small, excited looking angel, more rounded and with the smallest wings imaginable upon his back, “All I can say....the bravest bumblebee who just grew into a large angry bumblebee.”“Aww! That’s adorable!” Aladria cooed, “Look at this little wings!”

“I’m of the opinion that Imperius’s baby portrait is a weapon that causes everyone to stop and stare, laugh, or coo, thus ending all hostilities.” Tevar said with a snicker, “The most powerful relic in Heaven.”

“I don’t think he would be pleased if you said that.” 

“From what I heard, calling him a bumblebee causes him to go into a berserk rage,” Tevar said with a shrug before starting to unfurl the last tapestry, “And now, last, but not least....Inarius and Tyrael and I open this up to our dear viewers....which one is which?”

 The picture showed two young fledglings, that were more or less identical, both standing in the same exact pose as they stared down whoever was painting them, “Apparently, they were impossible to tell apart until Tyrael lost his halo....and according to my sources, they weren’t really officially named until then. They just shouted their name and assumed whoever responded was the right angel...”

Aladria squinted, sitting up, “...so do you know which one is which?”

“Nope. Imperius didn’t know either so I put it on the Heaven social media page and it is the top trending topic currently in Heaven....Tyrael and Inarius are at each other’s throats as apparently they can’t figure it out and keep claiming the other one has it wrong. Malthael says the difference is subtle but isn’t revealing which...I’m of the opinion he is trolling all of us.”Aladria rubbed her chin, “...which one was taller?”

“They were about the same height and Tyrael claims he is taller but Inarius is claiming he was always the taller one. Problem is, now they are the exact same height so hard to tell.” Tevar shook his head, “Its a mystery!” 

“This is going to bug me all night now,” Aladria grumbled, taking up the tapestry and eyeballing it, “There has to be something different between them when they were small!” 

Tevar snickered, glancing up at the camera, “And there you have the baby angels, tell me what you think and as always, M.C Clean OUT!”
