crossposting this from one of my responses to my fanvid post:
okie i have an extra scene in my head just for u so im going to share it here in the comments since i Also want to see childe bleeding aesthetically:
so there's probbly a point in the drama where childe is doing something suspicious as part of the mission, but he's making sure to do it in a way where all the civilians have cleared out of the liyue area while he's investigating that part....then there's some minor harbinger conflict where some other harbinger tried to summon a different cursed monster (the lore has So Many of them just hanging around liyue take your pick) or whatever to bring it back to snezhnaya for future study, but it's also presenting a big danger to some of the tiny villages nearby
childe, coldly: you're overreaching beyond mission parameters, comrade
anyways! harbinger infighting!!  they fight while wearing their fatui masks and stuff....millelith show up to based on reports of a big fight, they assume childe was at the center of it, and during the conflict, one of the millelith ends up shooting a crossbow arrow at Childe's side, childe falls into a river and hides there until the guards clear out
childe staggers away onto the shore, manages to use some of his hydro power to break off the noticeable part of the arrow, and seal the wound temporarily, but he's bleeding badly
he sneaks around the harbor streets, trying to get to baizhu pharmacy to either pay/steal-and-pay later for some medicine to treat the wound with
BUT THEN
before childe makes it up the stairs of the pharmacy, he's stopped by millelith guards and yelan who has stepped out of the shadows, who says they're looking for a suspect being pursued by the millelith who got an injury on their side from a crossbow arrow
childe tries to step around, yelan's water whip thing stops him
so he gets yanked down to his knees, and there's a small crowd gathering around them with suspicious whispers
the millelith say that as long as childe is willing to take off his jacket and show that he doesn't have any injuries on him, they can let him pass
AND THEN
out of the crowd, a jacket is draped over childe's shoulders
and zhongli steps forward, expression unsmiling
says he had been with childe a short moment ago, and childe had fallen off a fishing pier to help fetch a box that an old fisherman had dropped by accident or whatever
and asks if that's enough to vouch for childe and to let them pass so childe could get medicine before he catches a cold from the water
yelan begrudgingly lets them pass
and THEN they finally make their way up to the pharmacy, and at that point, childe's wound has gotten so bad that it has bled through his jacket and onto zhongli's glove at his side, staining it a slight red when zhongli takes his hand away so childe can get checked up on
childe thanks zhongli for helping him, says he's sorry for dragging zhongli into trouble with him  「...对不起  、我连累你了」
then passes out
zhongli mumurs that 'if it's for childe's sake, he doesn't mind being troubled' but childe has already fainted and doesn't hear him
heheheheheheh then it's just all hurt-comfort from there....u r welcome

Return to Sender (Reincarnation) AU (2)
He is the one helping to sneak a trespassing, young maiden into the Luofu. Yet, she walked slightly ahead of him with ease and he was the one left nervous.
“Isn’t this a bit backward…?”
“Why should I worry when you are looking after me?”
[Keep Reading] for Threadfic ⬇️
Vibrant gold meets soothing peridot.
This is the moment the threads woven onto their beings finally intersect. It was unpredictable. It was unexpected.
Around them, there is the gentle hum of the small ship’s engine. The cargo within the room barely shifts, its contents softly rattling at most as they ride along the smooth journey.
The young lady appears to be around his age, dressed in clothing he swore he saw some inhabits wear on the planet they just departed from. And as alert and alarmed as he is to stumble upon a stowaway, he couldn’t bring himself to point his glaive at her.
She is slender and pale, a little concerningly so (He swore he saw the tail end of some bandages as well hidden under the long fabrics).
As he opens his mouth to speak, he pauses as she lifted a finger before her lips as a gesture of silence. She speaks and he finds himself compelled to listen to her soft voice and gentle tone. “I mean no harm for I carry no malice, nor ill intentions. I am aware that I have trespassed, but if you are to turn me in, I will accept any punishment and abide by the laws of your home. However, all that I ask is to not be returned to my planet.”
He was struck silent, uncertain of how to act. He was merely a Cloud Knight. He was unsure of how to handle such an…odd circumstance.
He takes another evaluation of her clothing and deems that she must be no typical civilian. Possibly someone of a higher position. And the designs remind him of the ones he saw the planet’s people wearing near the church grounds.
Ah…he really hopes the Xianzhou isn’t going to end up unintentionally kidnapping a religiously important person such as a priest.
“…I apologize, miss. I’m merely a Cloud Knight. I cannot guarantee that your conditions will be met. That is for my superiors to decide.” He frowned a bit as he saw her somewhat dejected yet resigned expression.
Against his better judgement, he sighed before continuing. “However…I’d be willing to help keep your presence here undetected until the ship returns to the Luofu. From there, the best I could do is sneak you off & let you go. Whatever you plan to do from there is up to you.”
She looks at him with some surprise, and something in his conscience lightens at the grateful hope in her eyes. “Thank you. Any assistance is appreciated, and I’m aware I’m in no position to ask anything from you.”
“It’s fine.” (Hopefully.) He clears his throat.
“Ah, I’m Jing Yuan. May I know your name?”
“Ottilia.”
Curiously, he tests her name on his tongue, the sequence of sounds unfamiliar to him. She seems to take notice and smiled kindly. “…How about you refer to me with a name from your home?”
He blinks with surprise before considering it seriously. He eventually ends up thoughtfully mumbling a name to himself that seems to stick.
“That sounds fine.”
He startles out of his thoughts, not realizing he had spoken loud enough to be heard. “Ah, are…are you sure? You’re not worried it could mean something bad?”
“You seem rather genuine. So, I’ll trust your judgement.” She gives a pleased hum before meeting his gaze.
“It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Jing Yuan. You may refer to me as, Yi.”
[End]

I missed that it said c!Roier and q!Cellbit and I was like okay Roier’s getting a little bit 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 absence makes the heart grow fonder or whatever. Also I was totally thinking the kid Roier wanted would be Hope. Do you think you’ll ever include her in later fics?
I do! She’s most likely to spontaneously appear in Catboy in the Village tbh
And, full disclosure, post canon for that threadfic includes them Getting the kids, including a little baby girl that Cellbit names Hope in spite of Roier

Okay, so. This is the first of the broken twitter threadfics. The reasons I picked it to post are A) it broke at a relatively good ending point, and B) I was doing this as an experiment to see if I could keep myself from planning out where a story was going to go before writing it, and twitter's fuckery effectively kneecapped that. So, here it is!
----------
(“Why can’t you be more like-”)
A month before he’s supposed to attend the lectures, Nie Huaisang is nowhere to be found in the Unclean Realms.
In his wake are a pair of boxes for his brother and Meng Yao, each of which contains a cheerily biting note that since they each clearly want him to become the other, he’s giving them what they’ve always wanted!
Each other.
Without him in the middle.
Meng Yao is unnerved by this sudden disappearance, but anyone he mentions it to, Nie Mingjue included, just rolls their eyes. 
it's a bratty tantrum, nothing more. 
Huaisang will be back by dinner, complaining of being hungry. 
The rest of the day passes.
Then another. 
Then a week. 
The time for Huaisang and the other disciples his age to leave for the Cloud Recesses comes and goes, and still no one knows where he is. 
An uncomfortable heaviness develops in the air inside the fortress. 
Everyone can tell that everyone else is worried, but nobody will broach the subject because Nie Mingjue (though clearly the most worried of all) is stubbornly refusing to discuss it. 
When a letter comes from Gusu asking why Nie Huaisang never arrived for classes even though Nie Mingjue was adamant he would keep attending until he passed, it gets crumpled and tossed into the fire without a reply. 
Meanwhile, whatever sort of relationship Huaisang thought his brother and Meng Yao were forming based on the weird backhanded praise of each other/putdowns towards him doesn't happen. 
It's too awkward. 
Both retreat entirely into bland professionalism and if a topic doesn’t have to do with work, they don't bring it up. 
(Meng Yao doesn't understand why Huaisang was convinced he was pushing to get close to Mingjue in such a manner. Huaisang knew about his plans to eventually join his father, what could possibly make him believe-? 
But with Huaisang no longer there to be a distraction while he's working, he finds his brain replaying certain events, and gradually starting to see them from a different perspective. 
And… he doesn’t like what he sees.
For all he'd claimed repeatedly to be a neutral party in the brothers’ arguments, he... wasn't. 
Even on the occasions that he was personally more sympathetic to Huaisang’s side of the matter, he'd always pushed him to be the one to back down and give in. Be an obedient little brother. 
Behave.
Which... he can't be blamed for that, surely. 
As much as Huaisang liked him, Huaisang wasn't his primary employer. it made logical sense that- 
-No. 
That's where he'd gone wrong. 
He should have either truly remained neutral by telling both brothers it wasn't his place to get involved, or he should have told Huaisang why he felt compelled to take Nie Mingjue’s side so often. 
But instead, he'd willingly taken up that center role, and then- 
Ah. 
What a mess.)
As the days of the summer and early fall tick by, Meng Yao finds himself... keeping an eye out. 
Not searching (no one will admit to doing that, especially not Mingjue), just... hoping. 
Huaisang has always despised winter and what it does to his health, surely once the weather starts to change for the worse, he will- 
Huaisang still doesn't come back. 
(It's getting harder and harder not to dwell on how much he misses Huaisang. 
How much of a mistake he made. 
He should have- 
If only he had- 
His… his friend is gone. 
Now he only has coworkers. 
And while he gets along with... most of them fairly well nowadays, it isn't the same. 
It isn’t the same at all.) 
They have been monitoring the movements of the Wen sect day in and day out, but it still catches them by surprise when it isn't inside their borders that the first blatant act of war is committed. 
Meng Yao goes out among the scouts to make sure they are well-supplied with flares and messenger tokens and everything else they will need to keep the flow of information strong. 
(He does not say that he is looking for Huaisang, but he does not have to.
He does not find Huaisang, but he does bring home Mingjue's friend from the Lan sect, bruised and filthy and exhausted. 
He decides he likes Lan Xichen well enough, but-)
When the envoys from the Wen sect come to demand their heir, it is the first time Nie Mingjue says out loud, to anyone, that they don't have one. 
For the briefest moment, Nie Huaisang is no longer a ghost, as every present member of the sect flinches. 
Their visitors do not.
Meng Yao is the only one who catches that they seem to have expected this answer. 
He doesn't like that at all. 
And when he tells them later, as they help the disciples who have volunteered to go pack what little they are being allowed to bring, Nie Mingjue and Lan Xichen like it even less. 
(That night, Meng Yao hears the door to the room beside his unlock for the first time in over a year. 
He curls himself into a ball under the blankets and pretends not to hear anything after that.) 
A week after their disciples have made it home after escaping from the indoctrination camp, (at the same time that Lotus Pier is burning), Meng Yao has gone out with the scouts again, this time with a disguised Lan Xichen among their numbers- 
-He wants to find his brother. Neither Nie Mingjue nor Meng Yao can begrudge him that, not when they are still- 
-and they overhear a loud scuffle and heated voices- 
"He fucking bit me! just slit the little bitch's throat already!" "You do it! And then you can explain to the boss why and see what that gets you!" 
"Let him go! He hasn't done anything!" "Stay out of it, or you can die in his place!"
The source of the fight is several men in white and red robes crowded around an unseen figure as villagers yell from the sidelines. 
One moves to the right, just long enough for Meng Yao to glimpse- 
It’s-
His whole body goes cold. 
It's- 
He moves without thinking, a borrowed sword in hand. He doesn't hear Lan Xichen's startled warning, but it doesn't matter, as the other man immediately follows. 
When he comes back to himself, there are five dead men on the ground and Nie Huaisang has thrown himself to his feet to run- 
-from them, just as much as he'd probably tried to escape the Wen. 
Spell music keeps him from getting more than a few steps before he drops into a heap right next to a sorry mess of bloody black feathers that has an arrow sticking out of it. 
The old man who'd done the most yelling looks like he might be ready to do more, and Meng Yao, still feeling numb and sick and a hundred other things, manages to regain himself enough to reassure him that they have no intention of harming- 
harming- 
It hits him that he has no idea what Nie Huaisang was calling himself here. 
Here, a tiny backwater village so close to the border between Qinghe and Qishan.
The complicated and messy swirl of emotions becomes distant... muted. He's still dizzy, but in a way that's like looking at the ground from up high. 
The fight took place in front of a book copy shop- 
"-er, yes, he does," the old man says, making Meng Yao realize he'd just asked if this person whose name he doesn't know works there. 
Ha. 
The only thing in the world that Nie Huaisang had ever hated as much as saber training was being forced to duplicate texts and rules and notes- 
-and he's here. 
Working and living in some nondescript copy shop.
Lan Xichen is saying something, and then the old man is speaking again, but Meng Yao comprehends none of it. Other Nie disciples have arrived and need to be caught up to speed, but he- 
He pushes his way into the shop, and then up the back stairs to the living quarters above it.
There are only four small rooms and it's easy to tell which one is-
-was- 
-is Huaisang's because it's the one that has three little wooden perches- 
-clearly built of scavenged branches, they are still the most well made things in the room- 
-arranged by the window and the door.
There is no wardrobe, just a couple of shoddy-looking boxes. The bed is... serviceable, which is the nicest word he can come up with. There is no wash basin, nor privacy screen. The shade over the window is so thin it would practically be useless in winter. A teapot and cup that look like they could crumble any moment sit on a tiny table that isn't in much better shape. 
Meng Yao... has been in this room before. 
Maybe not this specific room, but this room. 
It's the same room he lived in during every stop between the brothel and Koi Tower, between Koi Tower and the Unclean Realms, paying for what rest he could get by offering up his education or labor. 
And this room... 
This room is where... 
His fingers clench on the door frame. 
He inhales slowly, though whether to keep from laughing or throwing up, he isn't sure which. 
Oh... they had so badly underestimated how much resentment and hurt their failed -misguided- attempts at incentivization had brewed within Nie Huaisang. 
Nie Huaisang had been a boy who despised rote routine work, who loved soft and comfortable things, who always needed to be surrounded by people and animals for companionship, who got bitterly sick every time the weather turned cold. 
And yet he had been living in this room, with a job doing what he hated day in and day out, and only the one bird that had undoubtedly been shot out of the windowsill by a Wen arrow for company. 
He can't help but wonder if Huaisang had chosen this life specifically because it was so antithetical to everything the sect knew about him; because they'd never think to look in a place like this. 
Or if he had just decided that even this was preferable to letting anyone think he'd been cowed into crawling back home. 
Meng Yao is still nauseous when he stumbles back down the stairs to find the others waiting for him and Nie Huaisang, still unconscious from the spellsong, lying in the back of a small wagon the disciples have procured. 
"There was nothing worth bringing," he says in response to one man's question, and ignores Lan Xichen's query as to whether or not he is well. 
It's already been decided that he will be the one to take Nie Huaisang back to the closest camp, while the disciples will fly to the primary one further south to alert Nie Mingjue that his brother has been found. 
Although he knows he's been picked because his sword flight is still unsteady, he is fine with it. 
If anyone else had offered -or demanded- to take the wagon, that would be another story. 
Except for Lan Xichen, who has brought back the horses he and Meng Yao had been using to avoid being seen on their swords, the others take off once the Wen corpses have been moved away from the buildings and burned.
(Meng Yao probably should have supervised that, being the sect leader's aide. 
But that would have meant moving away from Nie Huaisang, and he… 
He just can’t-) 
They hitch the horses to the wagon. Before he climbs up into the saddle, Meng Yao takes off his cloak and wraps it around his- 
Not his- 
His young master. 
(How funny that, almost two years ago, he would have been the one who needed it more. 
How funny that, almost two years ago, Nie Huaisang would have had more than one and would have offered them all with a laugh and a gentle tease. 
How funny that-) 
If Lan Xichen notices him wiping his eyes as they nudge the horses to start down the road, he is kind enough not to mention it.
By the time they reach the camp, the spell song has worn off, but Nie Huaisang still sleeps- 
-and he does still sleep. Meng Yao's judgment may have been in grievous error in one painfully important category, but he can still easily tell when Huaisang is feigning in order to be left alone-
-heavily enough that his only reaction to being picked up by Lan Xichen is to pull the borrowed cloak tighter around himself like a turtle trying to shrink into its shell. 
"I'll make the report to the camp commander after taking him to the main infirmary tent," Lan Xichen says.
'Because I don't think you'd want to leave him alone long enough to do it,' Meng Yao hears. He nods, trying -badly- to hide his relief at the offer.
As they enter the tent, one of the medics turns to greet them, then his eyes go huge. 
"Is that-" 
"Not one more word," Meng Yao cuts him off, a little more sharply than he'd meant to. "No one is to find out he's here before Zongzhu arrives, got it?" 
The medic's mouth closes with an audible snap, then he recovers his composure and nods, gesturing to an empty cot. 
The results of the ensuing exam are... roughly what Meng Yao expected… because they are very similar to his own the first time he'd been ordered into a tent to have his medical baseline set when he’d joined the Nie camps. 
Except for the lungs. 
He is sitting close enough that he doesn't need the medic to tell him the soft, pained-sounding wheeze is not good. 
Again, his thoughts and his stomach begin to twist and tangle around the reversal of their fortunes and the dozens of other little itchy thoughts. His fingers tighten on the edge of the camp stool he's sitting on and he has to squeeze his eyes shut and just focus on inhaling- 
-and exhaling- 
-until the knots loosen up enough that he no longer feels like vomiting. 
Prying one hand away from his seat, he reaches out and takes hold of Nie Huaisang's colder one. 
When the first big winter storm had arrived and Nie Huaisang had not arrived with it, he had started to have dreams that were uncomfortable in more ways than one. Even now, gently rubbing his thumb over the other young man's ink and dirt-stained fingers, memories-not-memories from them flicker through his mind. 
He has no idea how Nie Mingjue will react to his brother's reappearance, but no matter what his sect leader decides, he can't- 
-won't- 
-can’t let Nie Huaisang disappear again. 
Even, he thinks as he lifts those cold fingers up to breathe warmth onto them, if he has to refashion an aviary into another kind of cage. 
It is just past nightfall when he hears the flutter of activity outside the tent. 
It is a familiar enough clatter to both of them that the noise makes Nie Huaisang stir. 
(He wants to be the first person Nie Huaisang sees. 
He wants to try and smooth things over before-
He wants-)
But there isn't enough time, and it's more important that he- 
He steps out of the tent right as Nie Mingjue is approaching. 
He bows to his sect leader, but keeps the tent flap held closed behind him. 
When he doesn't move aside, the faint scowl on Nie Mingjue's face deepens and he raises an eyebrow in a familiar expression of 'What do you think you're doing?' 
"Zongzhu," Meng Yao replies to the unspoken question. "Will you hear my report first?" 
His words are deferential, holding none of the direct defiance that his position does, but the combination of the two is enough to give Nie Mingjue pause, his expression shifting from annoyance to curious concern before he nods. 
Meng Yao keeps it short, but painfully blunt, emphasizing where and how Nie Huaisang had been living, and how close to danger and for how long. 
"I would not be so presumptuous as to give you directions on how to handle this. But he was already prepared to bolt from-" me "-us as if we were just as much of a threat as the Wen. I don't think it would be an exaggeration to say that if you storm in there and immediately start dressing him down, then-" unless you let me lock him away "-it will be the last time you ever see him, let alone get the chance to talk to him,” he finishes quietly.
Then he steps aside and lets go of the tent flap.
Although he doesn't want to leave, he knows that if they -even accidentally- give Huaisang the impression that they are immediately falling back into the old pattern, this will be a disaster. 
So he forces himself to walk away from the tent. 
He should really see about acquiring food anyway. Though he'd had some travel rations on his person, he hadn't been able to make himself eat since they'd found Huaisang, and Huaisang- 
The many ways their fortunes have been reversed hits him again, and he swallows hard to keep from bringing attention to himself by hysterically laughing... or something even more embarrassing. 
Okay. 
Food. 
Concentrate on that. 
Though it grates on him to do so, he purposely takes the time to eat his own meal at the kitchen tents, even dragging it out a little longer than normal. 
Just as he finishes eating, he finally catches a glimpse of Nie Mingjue headed towards the main command tent. 
His sect leader's expression is tense, but not angry or panicked. His tone, from what Meng Yao can hear, is a little sharply clipped, but there is no real bark to the orders he's giving. 
Meng Yao will take those as good signs. 
Collecting a tray of simple dishes and jars of pressed juice and water, he heads back to the infirmary tent where he'd left Huaisang.
He doesn't find Huaisang there- 
-he's fled, the fight was worse than anticipated, they won't- 
-but is relieved to find he's only been moved to one of the smaller side tents. It's fine- it's good, even. Fewer people will see him this way. 
Huaisang is sitting on the little cot he's been given, facing away from (him) the entrance. He's huddled under one of the spare blankets, the cloak Meng Yao had wrapped him in folded up and laid on the end of the thin pallet mattress. 
(That bothers him. 
Sits in the back of his brain like another little itch. 
"Why don't you want- it, Huaisang?" bubbles up in the back of his throat, and he has to force it back down.) 
"I owe you an apology," Huaisang says suddenly, surprising Meng Yao into looking up from the small camp table he'd been setting up for the food. 
(His voice has become as small as the rest of him, Meng Yao's mind notes with a discomforting mix of emotions. Small and rough and raspy- is it because the reunion with his brother brought tears with it? Or is that just how he sounds now? Does he really want to know?) 
"Whatever for?" Meng Yao asks after shoving all that turbulence into the little chest in his mind to join the rest of it and pretending it's not going to be overstuffed and refuse to close soon. 
"I never paid attention to how hard your job was. I just made it worse." 
He finds himself glancing at those ink and dirt stained fingers again, now clutching the edge of the blanket so tightly. 
Reversal of fortunes. 
Some little part of him is satisfied by the recognition, of the acknowledgment, but the rest- 
if this is the result of another fight- if this apology was somehow forced by Nie Mingjue- 
He bites his tongue for a moment to quell the swell of unexpected irritation. "There's nothing to apologize for in that regard. At most, you could be exasperating on occasion… but more often than not, you were the only one reminding me to care for myself," he says, reaching over to pick up the folded cloak and wrap it around Huaisang's shoulders over the blanket. 
Better. 
He looks much better with that (mark of possession). 
"I have no idea how many times I forgot to stop for a meal or any other necessities without you there to insist." 
The mention of food earns a sharp, unmistakable growl, and Huaisang ducks his head as he huddles deeper into the borrowed blanket and offered cloak, his unbound hair doing little to hide his expression of uncomfortable embarrassment. 
Reversal of fortunes. 
Once upon a time, Nie Huaisang had offered him clothing from his own wardrobe and food swiped from the kitchens and Meng Yao had struggled to politely decline out of fear that bounds were being overstepped and he would be the one to get in trouble for it. 
Now however... now, he understands. 
Whether or not Huaisang had felt the same possessiveness back then that Meng Yao is grappling with now is an interesting, but ultimately unimportant, question. 
But he understands. 
And, just as Huaisang once had, he will not allow refusal.
He takes a seat on a little stool across from Huaisang and offers one of the dishes he'd brought, a fairly simple combination of steamed rice, roasted chicken, and greens with only a little bit of seasoning. 
Even though growing up in Yunping had given him a fairly high tolerance for spice, he remembers all too well how much it had hurt to eat too much good food at once after months going on the minimum, and he has no desire to make Huaisang similarly sick. 
"Don't rush. We've got time." 
Nie Huaisang's mouth presses into a thin line, like he might disagree with that judgment. 
Curiosity lingers hot and fuzzy on the back of his neck- 
-what had the brothers said to each other?- 
-but he swats it aside and merely waits. 
He will not risk scaring his young master away by pressing him for information so soon after getting him back. 
Hunger eventually wins over discontent, and Huaisang reaches out to accept the food. 
He eats in a stilted, almost wooden way that is so very alien to how he used to be, but so very familiar to Meng Yao. It is another addition to the list of things that he wants to- will fix. 
Huaisang's hair falls back into his face as he hunches over the bowl, and Meng Yao finds himself impulsively reaching to brush it back. 
Huaisang flinches at the contact, and they both go still, staring at each other, Meng Yao's hand still outstretched. 
He should pull back. 
Give space. 
He doesn't want to. 
But no matter how much their situation has changed, their nominal statuses dictate he must.
Just as he starts to withdraw, however, Huaisang lets out an unsteady breath and tilts his head just enough to maintain contact. 
Without a single spoken word, it's a lonely plea and an apology and forgiveness and so many other things rolled up into a little ball of bruised and battered emotions. 
It makes Meng Yao almost dizzy, and he can't contain the smile that blooms on his mouth as he indulges in what he's been offered, sweeping his fingers along Huaisang's cheek to tuck his hair back behind his ear. 
All too quickly, however, the flutters of almost-giddiness fade as he remembers their situation is still hanging precariously on a thread as thin as spider silk. 
But any discussion of what will happen next for them can -will have to- wait until the food is gone. 
They fall into an awkward silence as Nie Huaisang finishes the bowl of food and a jar of water. He quickly looks away when he realizes Meng Yao has caught him eyeing the second dish with apprehensive longing. 
"Here," Meng Yao says, offering one of the jars of juice instead. "It won't be as heavy on your stomach." 
Nie Huaisang hesitates, the expression on his face unreadable as he looks at it, then at Meng Yao- 
-Meng Yao wants to ask, he wants to ask, he can’t ask- 
Then he takes it from Meng Yao's hands and tilts it up to swallow a mouthful. 
Meng Yao unconsciously mimics the swallow. 
there is something- 
-something- 
-one thing that still eats at him, but he is struggling to let it out of where he's kept it caged in his chest. 
He is very, very good at offering apologies as a matter of politeness. 
He has never been as good at offering apologies out of sincerity. 
"Gongzi-" he starts only for his voice to die in his throat when green eyes regard him over the rim of the jar. 
Inhale.
Exhale. 
Try again. 
"I... I have missed you, Huaisang," he says. 
It is not what he intended to say. 
It is not what he was supposed to say. 
It's an entirely different but equally difficult level of vulnerability; one he hadn't been trying so hard to hide because he'd never expected it to attempt escape to begin with. 
He had recognized too much of himself in this changed Huaisang, and that familiarity had momentarily lured him into a false sense of… of…
His first instinct is to take it back. 
Cover his too-exposed heart with his usual deferential politeness, smile and offer a more neutral comment. 
"I missed you too," Huaisang says quietly before he can do any of that. 
Meng Yao exhales sharply, the air punched out of his chest as surely as if Nie Huaisang had buried a fist into the soft spot below his sternum, and he has to look away before he can let it show how starkly he has been affected. 
He is still pulling himself together when he sees one of the captains who'd been accompanying Nie Mingjue earlier poke his head into the tent. 
The man looks around for a moment before his gaze lands on them, and he gives a quick jerk of his head in a silent demand. 
Meng Yao hesitates. 
As emotionally fraught as this had just become, he doesn't want to leave. They still have that- 
-that one thing that they have to talk about, and if he leaves now, they might not ever- 
"Better go," Nie Huaisang says, and when Meng Yao turns his head, his young master is once again wearing that expression Meng Yao cannot decipher. 
Meng Yao bites the inside of his lip, then reaches out and squeezes the hand not occupied with the jar. "I'll be back soon," he says. 
Nie Huaisang salutes him with the jar, the gesture too flippant for the look in his eyes. 
Meng Yao again finds himself wondering just what the brothers had said to each other. 
But he does not ask, instead getting up to follow the captain away from the infirmary and towards the tent where Nie Mingjue has temporarily taken up residence until he returns to the main camp.
Meng Yao frowns as he finishes reading the missive his sect leader has handed him. 
It is not the fact that Nie Huaisang is being sent back to the Unclean Realms that bothers him. Even if he were in better health, the time he's spent away from the sect has made him even less prepared for a fight. it's better for him to go- to go home. 
No, what bothers Meng Yao is the escort being sent with him. Only two guards, both only weeks out of no longer being classified as juniors, and a single healing assistant- not even a full-fledged medic. 
He knows that this wouldn't be enough of an escort for someone the Wen wasn’t even looking for, let alone someone they had already made a kidnapping attempt on. 
Suddenly, Huaisang's too-bland attitude and strange reactions make more sense, if this had been one of the things the brothers had discussed. 
(What had they said? 
What had they said? 
The prickle of curiosity has become a gnawing, but still he squashes it.) 
He rereads the missive twice over before it finally hits him. 
This is another manifestation of the- 
Not once had Nie Mingjue ever officially sent out search parties, or discussed his missing brother, or- or- 
(But Meng Yao, much as he'd pretended otherwise, very vividly remembers that midnight breakdown in Nie Huaisang's abandoned room.) 
A sect leader preparing for an inevitable war couldn't be seen as soft or weak by the enemy, nor his own. 
A sect leader in the middle of a war couldn't be seen as soft or weak by the enemy, nor his own. 
Nie Mingjue might have sorely missed his brother, but he also clearly believed that extending more than the barest minimum would be read as special treatment. Coddling, even. 
No matter how much this particular situation warranted a stronger approach. 
Meng Yao understands the politics of appearance all too well, so he gets it. He does. That doesn't stop him from wanting to beat his head against the table in frustration. 
Stubborn. 
Stubborn.
Gods, both of them are so- 
He takes a deep, slow inhale, then lays the paper down. "What are you going to do if this posturing for your men gets your brother killed?"
Nie Mingjue goes rigid, the line of his spine completely straight. 
The captain he was talking to is a smart man; his eyes go wide for the briefest moment, and then he turns around and walks out of the tent without a word. 
Meng Yao is acutely aware he's just stepped into dangerous territory. A few years ago, he never would have let that question escape his mouth. Instead, as soon as he’d finished reading the missive the first time, he would have immediately gone to cajole Huaisang not to make a fuss about the orders. 
Well, look where that had gotten them. 
"The only reason we found him at all is because Wen Ruohan had somehow figured out where he was first,” he presses.”And yet you're risking sending him right back into the jaws of the tiger to-" 
Nie Mingjue's hands clench into fists at his sides. 
Though the man has never so much raised his voice in Meng Yao's direction, the memories of all the shouting matches between the brothers make him involuntarily take a step back. 
But Nie Mingjue, apparently remembering his earlier advice, does not yell, though the curt, emotionless tone of the words "The orders will not be changed," is almost worse. 
This bullheaded-! 
Realizing he will get nowhere, that the fact there had been no shouting between the brothers this time really was the only concession Nie Mingjue had been willing -or perhaps 'been able' was the better description- to make, Meng Yao leaves him standing alone at the table of maps and missives and walks back to the infirmary. 
At the very least, he should make sure that Huaisang has warmer clothes for travel than the ones they found him in. 
–- 
Nie Huaisang and his pittance of an escort are up and ready to leave before dawn, hoping to get some ground covered while only the enemy’s night scouts are still on the hunt. 
Nie Huaisang doesn't make a peep of complaint about having to get up so early for what amounts to boring work, which only drives the knife of how much he has changed deeper between Meng Yao's ribs. 
(He knows Huaisang has to go. 
He wants him to stay.
He wants to go with him. 
He wants-) 
"Hu- Gongzi, may we speak?" he asks quietly. 
Huaisang stops pretending to not be watching his brother out of the corner of his eye and turns his attention to Meng Yao, then nods. 
Meng Yao's mouth suddenly goes dry under the quiet intensity of that green-eyed stare, but he gathers his nerves back together and ties them down tight. 
"I... I owe you an apology as well. You were right that I was only lying to both of us when I claimed not to be taking sides in your arguments. I should have stayed out of it. I'm... I'm sorry." 
There. 
He has said it. 
It is hardly the most eloquent apology he has ever given, but... again, sincerity is much more difficult than politeness. 
But it also seems to have been more effective. Huaisang blinks at him in surprise, tilting his head like a startled bird... then he takes hold of Meng Yao's hands and smiles.
It's small, unsure, almost as if he's forgotten how to do it. but it's there, and- 
"Thank you," he says, and "Apology accepted." 
Ha. 
Okay. 
Meng Yao does not embarrass himself by tearing up in front of everyone, but he comes close. He squeezes the hands holding his, ruthlessly smothering the sudden urge to kiss too-cold fingers 
-or do something more- 
-then steps back and lets go. 
He doesn't watch them leave. 
Neither does Nie Mingjue.
It has been six days. 
Even though he has remained diligent to his responsibilities as the sect leader’s aide, Meng Yao's mind keeps being distracted by the map he has drawn in his mind. 
Even on foot, even if there were a few small delays here and there, Huaisang and his escorts should arrive at the unclean realms by the next morning, so when sundown arrives, the nervous tension that's been humming through his nerves finally starts to ease…
And then, right in the middle of dinner, Nie Mingjue suddenly jerks as though he's been shot with an arrow. 
Meng Yao, Lan Xichen, and the small knot of disciples present all see the color drain from his face as he rips a talisman out of the collar of his inner robe- 
-and when Meng Yao sees the deep splotch of red blooming across the paper, his own heart drops. 
It's a bloodshed talisman. 
And they all immediately know who it has to be tied to. 
Meng Yao has never seen a human move so fast in his entire life. 
Nie Mingjue is already in the sky on Baxia before any of the rest of them are out of the tent. Even Lan Xichen can't catch him before he can no longer be seen in the darkness. 
Meng Yao inwardly curses his own faltering cultivation that leaves him unable to keep up with the others, but at least his mental map means he won't get lost because of the lag. 
He just hopes- 
He just hopes- 
He lands in the middle of a maelstrom of clashing metal and screaming horses, more than a little bewildered by the number of moving and dead bodies in the forest clearing. 
How the fuck had this many Wen managed to get this deep into Qinghe territory? Their scouts should have caught them long before- 
No matter. His sect leader and the others would deal with them. 
He has to find- 
There are two figures in green and grey lying among the more numerous white and red. The first, he immediately identifies as the medical assistant -(dead)- and the other- 
He rushes over and pulls a semi-conscious Nie Huaisang up onto his knees. The younger man is sluggishly bleeding from his nose and a second blow to the head that has bruised most of the right side of his face, and his wrists are also raw and bloody from struggling out of the ropes lying under him. 
"Yao-ge? When... Where did...?" he asks in a disoriented slur. 
(Later, Meng Yao will allow himself to be thrilled by the return of the endearment.) 
For now, he jerks Nie Huaisang out of the way of a falling Wen horse and then drags him towards the treeline. They're almost out of the fight zone when a sword whistles past, barely missing taking off Meng Yao's ear. 
Fortunately, its owner hits the ground dead before he can call it back to try again. 
With that last death cry, the clearing goes silent, they and the disciples and Lan Xichen and Nie Mingjue all staring at each other, almost dazed from the wearing off of the battle adrenaline. 
Then Nie Mingjue crosses the clearing with almost the same superhuman speed as before and jerks Nie Huaisang out of Meng Yao's hands, wrapping his brother in an embrace so tight that Nie Huaisang can't help letting out a small squeak of protest.
There is never a verbal apology. 
In fact, neither brother says a word during the (unsettlingly) short flight to the Unclean Realms. 
But neither of them lets go of the other for the entire flight either, and Meng Yao supposes that has to be enough for them. 
(He desperately hopes that it is enough for them.) 
The first time Nie Mingjue puts his brother down since that first desperate grab is when they land inside the courtyard, and even then, he has a solid grip on Nie Huaisang's shoulder. 
"Finally," Meng Yao hears a feminine voice mutter from amongst the staff who came running at their unexpected approach, before others immediately shush her. 
He bites his tongue to keep from smirking, but he hears a couple of the disciples with them have to choke back laughter. 
It is indeed a relief to finally have at least one of the many sources of tension in the realm eased. 
Though there is now another in its place, as he notices Nie Huaisang glance around warily, already growing stiff and uncomfortable in the place that hasn't been his home for some time now. 
This won't do. 
"Zongzhu," he says, mindful of how to balance the situation now. "Perhaps it would be best for everyone to rest before any discussion of important matters." 
"...Right," Nie Mingjue mutters awkwardly, then moves to dismiss the small crowd. 
He still hasn't let go of Nie Huaisang.

threadfic miya twins character study / sakuatsu 6.7k
miya twins angst, hurt/comfort, loneliness, learning about self worth, skts but mostly a miya twin focus
There’s this thing in most SakuAtsu fics that always gets me, but I never feel like it’s gone into enough, and it’s when there’s a fight/miscommunication between the Miya twins. There’s always some angst and then they get into a fist fight and all is well. But 9 times out of 10 what happens is, it seems like Tsumu is being a whiny brat over something small, he brings it up, they fight, and they settle it like ‘Yep, Tsumu’s just dramatic’, and it always feels like the whole thing boils down to Tsumu being unable to move on, Samu being more mature, and Tsumu ends up kind of being comedic relief for getting so worked up. (Also, half the time, it’s Tsumu being worked up because Samu tells everyone something or whatever, and in the end Suna and Samu are like ‘You’re being a brat lol’ and that’s that). And, without fail, it drives me CRAZY bc it always feels like it never addresses the root issue, so it never feels resolved to me.
PSA: I’m not saying this as like, "These are real people- how dare you ignore their feelings!!" but more like, "You're setting up this character with really valid emotions and reactions, and then failing to carry them through and it falls flat. So, here are my thoughts:
The reason Tsumu gets so worked up when it comes to Samu is because Samu is his Most Important Person. Nothing & no one has ever been, or will ever be, more important to him, and he is fully shameless about it.
It's so obvious, even when they bicker. But Samu, from an outside perspective, but also from people who know him, sees Tsumu as his twin, his brother, but not necessarily his Most Important Person or Thing.
Maybe he was when they were younger, but as they grew up, he sort of moved on. Found other things more important and whatever. This is usually where the issue happens: many fics will see the moving on as part of maturing and "resolve" the issue by implying that the solution is that Atsumu needs to move on, and then Omi comes in, etc., etc., everything's good! But that never seems right to me.
I need Samu to be confronted about the fact that Tsumu has always loved him before anything, has always put him first, and yet he, time after time, doesn't do the same.
He tells Suna about quitting volleyball first, he sees Suna more than he sees Tsumu, he doesn't tell him they're dating. And he and Suna- who's known them for a long, long time, who knows how Tsumu is- will regularly poke fun at Tsumu for being dramatic, whiny, overly sensitive, and it hurts Tsumu to know that the two people he's known the longest- including the one person who's supposed to be his other half, who's supposed to always be by his side and always have his back- never try to understand him.
They never seem to care about him as much as they care about each other. And worse than that, they make him feel like something's wrong with him for caring about them the way he does. Like he's too much, too immature, too clingy, and they tease and mock and belittle, knowing exactly where Atsumu's most vulnerable. Crossing all the lines of ‘too far’ and then, instead of apologizing, they laugh it off and tell him to grow up.
And everyone seems to agree.
Just once, JUST ONCE, I want Atsumu to have enough.
I want him to realize that he doesn't deserve that. That nothing's wrong with the way he loves, and the way he needs love.
I want an Atsumu who realizes he's giving himself up over and over just to be ridiculed.
And sure, Samu checks on him when he's sick, and Suna invites him to drink after they play against each other, and eventually they even ask Tsumu to officiate their wedding so they don't have to fight over him, but that's not what Tsumu wanted.
Tsumu wanted to be Samu's best man, the way they'd always planned since they first found out what marriage was. And if, or when, Tsumu ever got married, he'd ask Samu to be his. But it was supposed to go both ways. And Samu was supposed to call when good things happened too (like Suna asking him on a first date, or the loan for the restaurant being approved), or even bad things, not just out of a sense of obligation to make sure Tsumu was okay. And Suna was supposed to invite Tsumu out whenever he was nearby, the way Tsumu did, not just drop a time and place as their teams lined up to shake hands.
Tsumu is always treated like the Least Important Person, and eventually he has to recognize it's not good, it's not fair or healthy or right, and he owes it to himself to stop, because losing his Most Important Person is less painful than what he has right now (at least he hopes). So he starts treating Samu and Suna the way they treat him.
He answers calls (most of the time) but rarely calls first.
He doesn't send pictures of things that remind him of them anymore.
He doesn't send "I miss you" or "Love you" anymore, because they always laugh and brush him off.
He visits the restaurant if the team is in town, but he stops taking the train over on weekends just to say hi
When something big happens, he goes home alone and puts his head between his knees and breathes, because he ‘won't call Samu.’ He won't. Because Samu wouldn't. And it's hard. God, it's so, so hard, and it hurts more than he'd thought. They'd say he was being dramatic, they'd tell him to grow up, get over it. But the way neither of them even seem to notice makes him realize it was the right thing to do.
It's also hard because now Tsumu struggles a bit (a lot) to let people in. Maybe it's not that deep, maybe it's not that big a deal, but if his twin thought he was too much, didn't even care all that much about him in the end, despite the fact that Tsumu would do anything in the world for him, then who the hell would do otherwise? His twin brother and their oldest friend didn't stick around, so Tsumu doesn't really believe anyone actually will.
He becomes closer with his teammates, slowly: Bokuto loves a lot like him- giving all of himself to everyone he cares for- and even with a boyfriend, he still makes so much time for Atsumu, still meets him where he's at, treats him how Tsumu always wanted someone to. Shoyo and Omi become good friends too, through trial and error. Shouyou is easier: Tsumu knows not to expect the same kind of attentiveness from him- he's kind of flighty and distractible, which isn't bad at all. He's so genuine and good regardless.
Omi takes longer, given their sort of warring personalities, but in the end he sees Atsumu as he is, and never asks him to change. He never asks more (or less) from him. Never makes Tsumu feel like he's wrong. In his own ways, Omi pours himself into their friendship wholeheartedly, and the same way he recognizes Atsumu's ways of showing it, Tsumu sees that Omi is doing the same. For once, Tsumu doesn't feel like his care is unwanted.
But even so, new friends (or maybe more?) can only do so much. It's harder and harder to admit it now that he's proven to himself that he wasn't the one in the wrong, but he misses his brother, misses his oldest friend, and he knows they don't miss him. And it's embarrassing, it's shameful, to know that, despite everything, he would still do anything for them because that's just who he is, who he's always been. No matter what, Samu will still be his Most Important Person, and Tsumu can't do anything about it.
They still see each other, sometimes, and Tsumu breathes in each moment like he's been starved for air. He tries not to let it show, just how much he misses them, how happy he is to see them, even if it's not the same. Hell, they're probably happier to see him now than ever before, mentioning how much he's grown up lately, how much better he's doing now that he's not so dependent on them, on Samu. And it hurts infinitely more to hear, to know that they prefer this censored version of him to the real one. The one who was unashamed of how much he loved them, how much they meant to him.
It takes a while for him to heal from that, actually. His new friends help. Omi helps a lot. Bo helps the most- he's the first person Tsumu ever tells about it all, and he's the only one who he trusts to understand. Even then, there's no one who can really share the feeling. Even Bokuto can only speak about friends, his two sisters much older. It's different from a twin, and he knows that. So, to an extent, he has to go it alone.
That's the worst part. Tsumu always believed that being born a twin meant you were never supposed to be alone, not truly. How could you be born part of a perfect matching set only to end up on your own? It felt wrong, it always had. That was why Samu had always been the world to him. For Tsumu, being Samu's brother was as intrinsically part of him as his hands, his eyes, his legs; there was no way to remove that part of himself, not without far too much pain. So he remained Samu's brother, even if it was only in his heart, buried deep so it couldn't be used against him. It was a secret treasure just for him, one that hurt to hold onto, but would hurt much more to lose.
Everything kind of goes to shit eventually, when after a year or two, Omi proposes after they win the Olympics. It was on international television. It made headlines. The sports channel and gossip rags were talking about the same thing for once.
And then Osamu called.
Tsumu almost didn't answer.
He was so happy and he wanted to share it with Samu, but he wanted to hoard it to himself more. But Omi left him alone with a look that said 'answer it,' so he did.
It was silent on the line when he answered, and Tsumu didn't say anything to break it. It was Samu who spoke first.
"Yer gettin' married?"
It took a moment to respond. Samu's voice took him by surprise, how quiet and shaky it was. "Yeah," he said. "Eventually."
"I didn't know the two of ya were together."
Tsumu could've laughed at the irony of it if it didn't sting to hear.
"Never came up, I guess."
"I- Yeah. Guess not. Not much does, these days, it seems."
Atsumu pressed a hand to his mouth and stared at the door Omi had left through, pushing down the urge to scream or maybe cry. It had been two or so years since he'd left, and Samu had never even noticed the difference until now.
"What happened?" Samu asked, voice shaking that way it did when he refused to cry. "What happened to us, Tsumu?"
Atsumu took a deep breath, letting it out with a sigh. "Samu, if you don't know, it's not gonna matter."
He wasn't trying to be obtuse. He didn't want to guilt Samu into anything. But if Samu couldn't tell that he'd caused this, that he'd always been the one to push that distance further and further... If he couldn't see that much, Tsumu didn't know if he could fix it.
He couldn't do it on his own. He couldn't put himself through that again, not after he'd put this much work in to help himself.
"I don't- I don't know. I don't know why ya wouldn't tell me. I thought we told each other things like this."
Tsumu's laugh was harsh. "Ya can't be serious."
"What’d'ya mean? I'm dead serious, Tsumu."
"After Suna? Ya think ya have any right to say that?"
"What-I- that was different, Tsum. Ya found out eventually, and not because I got proposed to on live television."
"'Cause it was so much better walkin' in on the two of ya fuckin' after ya told me ya couldn't come visit 'cause ya got caught up at work!"
"And I told ya I was sorry! I didn't think ya were gonna come over, ya lived two cities away!"
"And I wanted to see ya!" Atsumu yelled. "I wanted to see my brother, was that so bad?!"
Of course that wouldn't have occurred to Samu, Tsumu thought, because he wouldn't have done the same. Samu only came when Tsumu invited him. At the very least he'd call ahead. He never surprised him. He didn't go out of his way because he wanted to see Tsumu.
"It doesn't matter," Atsumu said, sucking in a deep breath. "I already told ya. Look I- I don't wanna do this. At all. Right now. I just- I just got engaged, Samu. I just won the Olympics. You've had forever to do this, why'd'ya hafta do it now?"
Samu was silent for a long time. "Is it so bad? Did I do somethin' so bad to ya?"
"Samu, please, not- not now."
"Ya can't even tell me? I'm your brother, Tsumu, we can't just-"
"Brothers?” Atsumu laughed. It came out like a sob. "Samu, when was the last time you acted like a brother to me?"
"I- what?"
"Samu, when- God, I don't wanna do this right now. Fuck." He wished he could go back just five minutes and not answer the call. Hold onto Omi instead.
"Do ya even know when I realized ya were tearin' me apart?" Atsumu asked, throwing an arm over his face. "It's been two years now, and ya just now noticed. You and Rin just- the two of ya- ya don't even know how much ya hurt me. Ya didn't even care."
"H-hurt ya? Tsumu, what're ya talkin' about? What's Rin gotta do with this?"
"Look, I don't- I just- do we hafta do this now?"
"Yes we hafta do it now!" Samu spit. "What the hell are you talkin' about?"
"God, I just- fuck, Samu, I couldn't stand it anymore! You know I love ya more than anythin'. Do you know how it was for me? Always 'Tsumu's too much', 'Tsumu's being dramatic', 'Tsumu's too clingy'. I just cared about ya! But it was too much for ya. Both of ya. I thought, for so long, that somethin' was wrong with me. I thought 'even my own brother thinks it's too much, the way I love people'. Do you know how long it took for me to realize it was okay? That there wasn't somethin' wrong with me?
"Everythin' I did, everythin' I am was too much for ya. Too much for Rin. And ya couldn't even just- just pretend, or even tolerate it. Ya made- ya made me feel so bad. All the time. And ya never once- never made me feel like ya gave a shit about me.
"Yer my twin, that- to me, that means everythin', Samu. It means everythin' to me. You mean everythin' to me, and it- it hurts so bad, knowin' ya don't care, knowing I'm not the person you wanna tell things to, the person that ya rely on. God, to you I'm just- what? A burden? Just the person ya ended up stuck with? Did ya ever want me around or was I just there?
"‘Cause I always wanted you around. I wanna tell ya everythin', good or bad, big or small. Yer the one I've always- always relied on. I always told ya everythin'. And ya know what you did? Ya went and told Rin. Anythin' I told ya, secret or not, ya went and told Rin. And when you had somethin' to share, who did ya go to? Rin. Always Rin, never me. "Ya never cared that some things I only wanted you to know. Ya never cared that I wanted to be there to cheer you on or support ya. Ya never- I was never important to ya, not like you are to me. And that's- there's nothin' I can do about that, but I couldn't keep puttin' myself through it. So ya don't get to call after all this time and say I owe ya anythin' because we're 'brothers’. Ya lost that right, Samu."
Tsumu broke off, only vaguely realizing he'd ended up yelling. He was breathing heavy, eyes stinging, throat tight. This wasn't how he'd wanted his night to go. He should've been spending time with Omi, thinking about a ring since Omi had proposed with a medal.
He could hear Samu breathing over the phone, ragged and uneven, hitching with nearly silent sobs.
"D'ya see, Samu?" Atsumu whispered. "It's not- I can't fix this. I spent- I spent so long chasin' you. So long pretendin'. I won't do that to myself again, Samu. It hurt too much."
"I didn't-" Samu sounded broken. "I didn't know. I didn't mean to-"
"I know," Tsumu interrupted. "I know ya didn't, but that doesn't mean anythin' to me. I never wanted ya to treat me one way out of pity or guilt. I wanted it because yer my brother, and if ya- if ya cared about me like how I care about you, it wouldn't... It doesn't matter now.
"Look, Samu... I'm not mad at ya. Not anymore. And I still love ya more than anythin', that'll never change. But I got engaged tonight. I won the Olympics. And I don't wanna hurt right now. I just wanna be happy for a night, Samu. Can I have that much from ya, at least?"
Tsumu waited until Samu choked out a fragile ‘yes’, and then hung up and tossed his phone away. That was not what he'd envisioned for tonight. He felt simultaneously drained and like he might burst at the seams.
It took a while for Omi to come back, but when he did, he found Tsumu with his head between his knees, breathless and shaking as he cried.
Omi didn't ask him about anything, he just wrapped him up in his arms and told him he'd done well, and he was proud of him. It didn't ease the pain, but it helped some.
It helped because, even after everything, it was hard for Tsumu to not feel like he'd overreacted.
In his mind, Samu was talking with Suna right now, complaining about how Tsumu always did this, blew up for no reason just to make a fuss. Even after all this time, Atsumu wondered if he was the one in the wrong, the one making a big deal out of nothing, causing Samu problems again.
But Omi was there, holding him, reminding him with his words and his presence that it wasn't Atsumu's fault. That he hadn't done anything wrong by setting his boundaries, by recognizing what his love was worth.
They didn't celebrate that night, or even the next, but eventually they did, and Atsumu was happy even if he'd always pictured that his brother would be there for a moment like this.
Omi asked at one point when Tsumu would want the wedding, but Atsumu just fell silent and Omi understood. Nothing was going to happen yet. Tsumu has given up enough, but he couldn't... he couldn't give that up too. He may not have been Samu's best man, but he still wanted Samu to be his. and that couldn't happen right now, so he couldn't even begin to think about the rest of it. But Omi understood, and he was patient.
Time passed, as it was wont to do, and Tsumu settled again— or at least he would have, but Samu and Suna were acting... weird. It wasn't really anything obvious at first, especially since neither of them ever brought up the phone call, but...
First was Tsumu's mom, who mentioned on their weekly call that Samu had been bothering her like crazy, asking about their high school days and what she remembered about the three of them. Then Kita texted saying ‘Do you know if Osamu is in therapy? it may be a good idea.’ Which in Kita speak meant ‘Your brother's acting weird as fuck, tell him to leave me alone and bother someone who's paid to put up with him.’ Then Samu texted, saying he was going to be in town for a weekend. He'd be really busy, so he was getting a hotel room so he wouldn't disturb Tsumu with his comings and goings, but he had a potential opportunity to open up a new branch and he had to check things out.
“Could we meet?” he'd asked, and Tsumu stared at his phone for a long time, because they'd never been the kind of people who had to ask about things like that. “‘course,” he'd texted, biting his lip. “Lmk when you have time, we'll go out to eat.”
Then Suna called out of the blue after a game that Tsumu had watched on the TV in the living room. "Rin?" Tsumu answered, turning the volume down even though he liked watching post-game commentary. "Ya okay?"
"Did ya watch the game?" Suna asked, no greeting or anything.
"Yeah, just had it on. T'was good."
"It was ratshit," Suna grunted. "They got through half my blocks no problem, and shut me out more than not." Atsumu blinked at the TV screen, playing highlight reels of the game. The game Suna had just called him out of the blue to talk about.
"Wasn't yer best," he admitted slowly, Suna could be a bit prickly about his abilities when he didn't do well. "But ya knew goin' in yer usual tricks wouldn't be the most effective with them. An ace like that is hard to stop, and he happens to be built like a tank. Ya had a lot of good receives in the back row, kept yer team goin'."
Suna hummed, and Tsumu could hear the weary disappointment. "I guess. I just wanted to do better."
"I know ya did." Because Suna always did. Tsumu wondered if maybe Suna had meant to call Samu instead? "But what's done is done, no use workin' yerself up about it. Practice harder, so they can't shut ya out next time."
"I know. I know, yer right, I'm just..."
"I know. You should have Samu make ya some hirata buns. Ya always liked those when we lost."
Suna was quiet for a moment. "Yers are better than yer brother's," he finally grumbled, and Tsumu's cheeks flushed at the unexpected praise. "But yeah. Thanks, Tsum. I gotta go, coach wants to debrief. Thanks for pickin' up.”
Atsumu stared at his phone for a long time after the call ended.
Weird things like that kept happening. Tsumu came home to Omi unboxing a package of individually wrapped onigiri from Samu's shop that he'd found waiting by the door when he got home. Suna kept sending him pictures of the stray cat that kept showing up behind their apartment. Kita texted again asking ‘How have you been, Atsumu?', which made Atsumu's lip start wobbling and Omi called him a crybaby. Even Bo asked him at practice if something had happened with Samu, because apparently Akaashi had gone in to eat and kept having to text Bo questions because Samu kept hounding him about Tsumu; how he was? Was he doing well in practice? Did he have good friends on the team? Was Omi good to him?
Eventually, Samu was in town, and they met up to eat at a Chinese hot pot place between Tsumu's home and Samu's hotel. It was their first time seeing each other in person since before the phone call, and Tsumu was nervous. He'd thought about inviting Omi with him, but Omi had straight up refused. "Call me if you need me," he'd said, with a voice that said he'd be there in a heartbeat, but he told Atsumu this was something he probably had to do on his own. And Samu hadn't brought Suna, which was rare even when Suna was in season, so Tsumu agreed to return the courtesy. Just them, then. Tsumu and Samu, Samu and Tsumu. What a ridiculous thing to be scared of.
In the end, though it was just the two of them, they got enough food for four. it was almost distracting enough to drown out the inescapable awkwardness between them. Almost.
Atsumu didn't want to bring anything up, not when they were having an almost normal meal again, so he let Samu guide the conversation.
Samu told him about the property he'd gone to visit here in the city, a small restaurant that had been a ramen shop before it shut down. Tsumu looked at the pictures he was shown and agreed that it looked like a good place, though Samu would need a refrigerated display. Samu told him that their ma was trying to grow radishes in her window boxes, and Tsumu laughed and pretended that was the first he'd heard of it. Samu explained, staring fixedly at the vegetables floating in the spicy broth, that Suna thought it was best he didn't come this time, so it didn't feel like the two of them were ganging up on Tsumu again when they apologized, and Tsumu-
Tsumu blinked.
"If we came to ya, both of us at once, wouldn't it still feel like it was us versus you?" Samu asked quietly. "I didn't- I didn't tell him everythin' you told me, I swear, but he's always been smarter than us, he put it together since... with everythin' you said the last time, I didn't wanna seem like we were just apologizin' to get over it, ya know? And we thought, maybe, showin' up together might not be the best way to show we heard ya and everythin'."
Tsumu blinked at Samu, who blinked at the sweet potato that bobbed to the surface of the boiling soup.
"Look, Tsumu," Samu said, "I don't know when... when I started treatin' ya so bad. I don't know, and I don't know how I never noticed, or how I never saw when you… when you had enough of it. I never wanted to push ya like that. I never wanted to hurt ya. I know it's too late to say stuff like that, and I know it doesn't really matter, not when it can't change anythin', but it's true. And I'm sorry we made it impossible for you to talk to us. I know you tried to, and we just- just laughed it off. That was... fuck. I'm sorry, Tsumu. I really, really am. And ya don't hafta forgive me for it, not now, or- or ever, if ya don't want to. What we did, what I did- it wasn't fair to you. And more than that, I never should've... yer my brother, Tsumu. I should've been there for ya, I should've been the one you could come to when ya felt like shit or wanted to cry about somethin'. I should've been the person you could tell about yer first day in the big leagues, or yer new friends, or, or gettin' engaged. And- and ya still told me about so much of it, even when I-" he broke off with a frustrated sound. Samu had never been good at talking.
"I betrayed yer trust in me," Samu forced out. "And did it over and over, even when ya kept givin' me more chances." Samu took a deep breath, and he finally looked up to meet Tsumu's eyes. "I'm sorry I didn't keep yer secrets. I'm sorry I didn't listen when you needed me to. I'm sorry I ever made ya feel like you were wrong for trustin' me, for believin' that you deserved someone to be there for ya. You do, Tsumu. You always did, and I'm sorry it wasn't me.
“Most of all," he took a deep breath and started again. "Most of all, I'm sorry I made ya feel like you weren't a brother to me.
"We've always been more different that people think, but I still should've met ya halfway instead of makin' you cover the distance alone every time. I should've known how you are and what you need, the way you always have for me. And Rin- I'm not gonna apologize for him, he'll do that himself, but you always took care of him too. The three of us... we should've all looked out for each other, but you took care of all of us, and Rin and I just- we just looked out for ourselves. I'm sorry, Tsumu. And ya don't hafta let me, but I wanna make it up to ya. I wanna be- I wanna be brothers again, how we used to be. And i'll do the work, i'll go the whole distance, i'll do whatever ya need. You won't be alone in it anymore, I promise ya.
"I just want my big brother back, Tsumu. I miss ya, and I can't do all this without ya."
Atsumu met Samu's gaze, shell shocked at the sudden apology, and neither of them spoke for a long moment. Then suddenly, they both sniffed and tore their eyes away-the kind of in sync move that used to get them "There it is! Twin telepathy!" when they were young.
"Fuck, now I'm cryin' into the soup," Samu grumbled under his breath, wiping at his face roughly with the back of his wrist. "Why'd we hafta do this right now?"
"Hah?! Yer the one who brought it up, what do you mean we?!" Tsumu cried out, wiping his own face with a handful of paper napkins. "This is yer fault, not mine!"
"It's not my fault I had to apologize!" Samu retorted on instinct, and both of them paused. Tsumu sent him a thoroughly unimpressed glare- as much of a glare as he could manage when his eyes wouldn't stop watering.
"Say that again, slowly," Tsumu invited. "Yeah, yeah, I heard it as soon as I said it," Samu grunted, face pink. "Are we gonna keep talkin' about it or can we eat?"
"Well for one, I don't think yer in a place to be makin' demands right now," Tsumu said with as haughty a sniffle as he could manage. “And for two, I get hungry when I cry so food now, talk later."
"I know ya do, that's why I asked in the first place," Samu grumbled, but he swiped a piece of Tsumu's lamb and swished it around in the mala broth, just how Tsumu liked it, before reaching across the table and dropping it in Tsumu's dipping sauce.
It was hardly anything really, but Tsumu stared at it for a while. there were some things, he supposed, that Samu had noticed about him. Had remembered through the years. It didn't absolve him of his wrongs, it didn't fix things, but... it was nice to know, anyway. Tsumu wondered if Samu thought of him when he went out to eat with Suna, the way Tsumu always did; scanning the menu briefly to figure out what his brother would order if he was there.
Did Samu think about him when the first fireflies of the season began to appear, the ones they used to chase around with a glass jar in late summer?
Did he think of him, like Tsumu did, when that song came on the radio- the one their ma would sing out loud while she cleaned the kitchen, Tsumu and Samu watching cartoons in the next room?
Did he think of him, sometimes, when he woke up and there wasn't someone there? A matching set that had climbed under the covers with him when the thunder got too loud?
Even after all this time, so much of Tsumu's world was built by Samu. the smell of fireworks and takoyaki during matsuris, the sailor moon theme song they performed for their grandparents when they were six, the scar on his big toe where Samu nearly bit it off as a baby.
It was impossible to go a day without thinking about him, even if he tried. Samu was ingrained in his very being, always had been. Was he the same to him, tattooed on his soul from start to finish?
They ate in relative silence: Samu bracing himself for what would come next, Tsumu trying. his best to just make sense of things. A long time ago he'd posted on one of those advice forums, hurt and confused and searching for answers. They had come, mostly in the form of "Family or not, a relationship like that is more harm than good. Cut ties, put yourself first!", and some half dozen variations just like it. Tsumu had gotten sick thinking about it. He hadn't deleted the post because it was against the forum rules to delete once people had answered, but he made sure to reply to everyone. ‘You don't know what you're talking about. He's my twin brother.’
Dinner was long, though not as long as it could have been if they'd talked, but Tsumu still didn't really know what to say as they left. He wanted to say something like "It's alright, I forgive you, let's go back to how we were before" but he honestly couldn't really remember- couldn't remember when "before" was. It was hard, actually, to remember the last time Samu hadn't... hadn't scared him, at least a little.
When Tsumu went running up to him with something to say, or when he found himself crying after a bad game, or when he wanted attention just because- he couldn't remember the last time he hadn't gone expecting a weary sigh, an eye roll, a derisive laugh.
So he couldn't say it was okay. But he had a chance to have his brother back, and even if it was a bad decision, even if it meant he was the vulnerable one once again... for Samu, he would do it. He would do it again, with his trust and his hope on full display.
But this time- this time, Samu needed to do it too. Belly up and helpless, knowing the costs of failure. Tsumu wouldn't be the only one, not this time.
"I'll let ya," he finally said, the two of them frozen under some streetlight, hands shoved in their pockets to protect them from showing too much. "You and Rin, if he wants to. I'll let ya make it up to me. I want ya to, Samu, and I mean that. I don't want- this isn't some power play, alright? I'm not tryin' to guilt trip you into doin' whatever I want until I decide yer forgiven. you know I'd do anythin' for ya, even now. So, don't do this ‘cause ya want somethin' from me. I want ya to do this because you miss me too. I want-" it was hard to ask for what he wanted. "I want ya to treat me well, Samu. I want ya to treat me like someone ya want to be around, someone ya actually- actually love. Not someone ya just got stuck with.”
He took a deep breath. "We've always been brothers because that's how we were born. But I choose to be yer brother every day, Samu. I don't regret it, and I'll do it every day until I die. But you have to make that choice now. You have to prove ya want this, that it- that we, that I, am worth that effort for ya. Got it? Because I've had enough of bein' an afterthought, and I- I know now that I deserve more. So I don't really want yer apologies, to be honest, though I appreciate it nonetheless. If ya wanna make it up to me, I want ya to show up for me. I want ya to care about the things I love, to listen to me when I talk, even if ya think it's just a nod along if I'm mad! I want to know that I can go to ya about anythin'. That ya won't judge me, won't laugh at me or put me down, and I'm not- I'm not askin' ya to treat me like a princess or anythin'. I can take a joke, but ya need to know where the line is. And it won't work if I hafta point it out to ya every time. You need to pay attention. You need to care enough that I don't hafta worry about whether or not I'm linin' up to be laughed at. Understand?"
The worry that he was asking too much, making a fuss over nothing, was still incessant in the back of his mind. But he thought about his friends, about Omi, about the way he'd always shown up for Samu and Suna. If it wasn't too much for them, why would it be too much for him?
It still felt dramatic, a bit excessive, but- Samu was nodding fiercely, a determined frown pulling at his lips. "I'll do it," he said, so sure of himself. "You've always done it for us, haven't ya? If you can do it, I can do it."
Tsumu blinked. Scowled. "This isn't a competition, ya scrub! Take it seriously!"
"I'm dead serious!" Samu huffed. "Besides, what have we ever taken more seriously than a competition? All I'm sayin' is, genetically or whatever, there's no reason you should be all good at something that I can't do. So, if you can do it, I can do it. I will. I'm serious, Tsumu. Not to get anythin', not to prove anythin', just- just because, alright? You deserve it, and I miss ya, and I wanna be- I wanna be someone you trust again. I wanna be good to ya."
And it was just words- it was just promises that might or might not be kept, but it was more than Atsumu had ever expected. He was terrified, sure, but this... this meant the world to him, and he was willing to take the risk.
"Alright, alright. Then, that's it then, yeah? We've aired our grievances-"
"You aired your grievances."
"All that's left is puttin' yer money where yer mouth is. And if this is a competition-"
"It is, at least a little bit."
"Then ya should know the stakes."
Atsumu leveled Samu with a steady look. "It better end in a tie. ‘Cause if I come out on top again, I'm not risking a third chance. If I'm the one giving everything again, I'm not going to give any more.”
"Loud and clear," Samu agreed with a nod.
"And if I win, ya never get to bring up me quittin' volleyball around ma ever again.'' It was such a stupid bet, but Tsumu knew better. Samu put the odds in his favor- everything he did would be for Tsumu's benefit, not his own. If he won, all he would gain was Atsumu.
The way he looked at him now, eyes still a little pink around the edges, shoulders tight in that way they got before a fight... that was enough. Atsumu, for once, would be enough.
"Deal," Tsumu finally said, offering an outstretched pinky. Samu locked it with his own, pressed their thumbs together. "Deal."
Things weren't fixed yet, not by a long shot, but for once, Atsumu felt like things might be okay. Maybe in a year, he could plan a wedding. Have his brother as his best man, and his best friend could wipe his ma's tears when she started crying too hard.
It was far away still, but if there was one thing Tsumu knew better than anything, it was his brother, and the look in Samu's eyes said I'll do whatever it takes. Tsumu knew that look because he wore it the same.
To be brothers again, I'll do whatever it takes.
For the first time in his life, Atsumu entered a competition hoping he would lose.

20 Questions for Writers
Tagged by @oakashandwillow
1. How many works do you have on AO3? 42...the perfect number
2. What's your total AO3 word count? just shy of 500k which is an insane number
3. What fandoms do you write for? >_> look. is the top fandom on my ao3 page supernatural: yes. am I still actively posting spn fic: technically also yes. but the incoherent scum villain tweets that don't make it onto ao3 are where my heart truly lies rn
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
#1 and #2 are the double header of Cumplane (Pairing), an in-universe meta for @cleromancy's threadfic, and Cumplane Forums AU, an archive of @flightlesscrowkids's communal threadfic that I shamelessly enabled. #5 on the list is also a scum villain chatfic, It's Fine Cause I'm Wearing Cat Ears, where shen yuan is still insane on the modern internet but this time binghe and liu qingge are there. thank you cucumber stans for your support and good taste.
#3 is my untamed big bang from these nettles, alms which I cowrote with @zorrosuchil (chengxian, but also wangxian and a lil tiny bit zhanchengxian, much to jiang cheng's disgruntlement).
#4 is my pacific rim reverse bang Our Blood in the Machinery in which raleigh becket is possessed, but joke's on you, he's into that shit.
5. Do you respond to comments? I try but unfortunately I often give myself the fake homework of needing to reply Meaningfully which means it simply does not happen
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? hmm probably the most it-didn't-have-to-be-this-way classic tragedy fic is The Dismemberment Song (the untamed, nieyao); the deadest dove is Jettison (pacific rim, hansens badtouch)
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? I was going to say Only Human but then I remembered the last chapter ends with one of the main characters announcing her imminent demise lmao so perhaps my cql fix-it of Waking / Rising
8. Do you get hate on fics? thankfully not, I don't think they get enough attention to have haters lmao
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? only for siblings
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? fandom fusions are my faaaaavorite to spitball. way back in the day I had grand plans for Merlispn which (as the name should make clear) was very silly
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? not to my knowledge but cambionverse did once get cited in an academic paper
12. Have you ever had a fic translated? funnily enough one of my smallest and least-viewed spn fics, Driftwood, was translated into chinese!
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? nearly all of them in fact! shout out to @thegeminisage and our series Cambionverse which is old enough to be in middle school now
14. What’s your all time favorite ship? I am a multishipper til death do us part ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? fuckin. Envesseled lmfao. ON GOD WE WILL POST THE LAST FIVE CHAPTERS I JUST DON'T KNOW WHEN
16. What are your writing strengths? *eye* think my own jokes are very funny hahaha and I love to write banter & arguments
17. What are your writing weaknesses? I can brainstorm plots all day long but executing upon them is So Hard
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? as a monolingual it is something I would do very sparingly if at all, and only if there wasn't another way to convey the same tone/emotion
19. First fandom you wrote for? the first thing I ever posted to ao3 was The Quest for Camelot which is found poetry from the merlin fic finders comm. before livejournal I did post a few things to ff.net but they are going with me to the grave
20. Favorite fic you’ve written? listen. I understand why it deals psychic damage for my followers to see supernatural content in the year of our lord 20 whatever. but read Cambion those are my kids

Do you think KDJ x HSY has gotten more popular in the fandom?
yes and no.
lemme explain
yes because firstly, as we know, orv fandom is constantly growing on all sorts of social media. the more the fandom grows the more posts will pop up and engagement will be had
secondly, orv is a meta heavy novel. and hsy, equally so, a meta heavy character. being one of the main three characters means that she has close relationships with the majority of the orv cast (sure kdj yjh and ysa are closer but you get the point) in fact I'd go so far and say that out of all 3 of yhk hsy is the most balanced when it comes to her relationships and i can make the argument that kdj is not too close with lsh and yma, or yjh is not close with ysa, jhw (outside of 0th turn) and lgy (<- altho hes more than willing to throw hands with him lmao)
now circling back to doksoo, whether in a platonic sense or a romantic sense, they are one of the key duos in orv so orv fans are bound to talk about them in whatever sense that we like them as.
now no, bcs as i said orv fandom is growing, doksoo shippers are growing in numbers, but so are shippers of other ships. i dont want to sound vague, but it also depends what your criteria to determine a ship's popularity is? likes on a fanart on twitter? notes on a post on tumblr? doksoo winning a poll on orv subreddit? the number of fics on ao3??
bbnim's sangsoo (not tagged) art reached 100k likes on twitter. another artist's joongdok (also not tagged) art reached 130k likes. does that mean that every single person that has interacted with these fanarts has been a shipper? no, it doesn't. someone can vaguely describe a doksoo trope on a tumblr post and go viral. does this mean that every single one that liked and reblogged that post is a doksoo shipper? also no. reddit is a different landmine altogether. m/f ships have always thrived there, until you consider that their shippers are dudebros who very much do not create any type of fan content.
now, while not the absolute factor, I'd say that the most reliable indicator is the number of fics (on different platforms such as ao3, wattpad, threadfics on twitter, mini fics on tumblr. and so on) and just wow theyre pitiful over there
tldr, these past few months that ive been active in the fandom I've noticed that doksoo shippers genuinely don't seem to grasp the general rules of the shipping side of the fandom(s) they lack imagination and delusion which you need if you want others to engage with your ship and fan content(they also spend way too much time trying hard to disprove joongdok moments but anw)

Warnings: Mentions of vomiting, mentions of pregnancy.
A/N: This was inspired by a threadfic by @pkr_tto on Twitter. Thank you so much for letting me write this! The original thread was A/B/O, but you can imagine whatever you want for the details of Kaveh getting pregnant.
Tumblr media
If one were to ever ask Kaveh about the happiest time in his marriage with Haitham, he would say it was before they had even met. When his parents had first delivered the matchmaker’s decision, they were delighted. Their fiery, outspoken son with the cool and collected Head Scribe. What a balanced pair they would make! And beautiful children as well, no doubt.
Kaveh had been equally excited. Haitham was, after all, a wealthy man with a prominent role in the Akademiya. If anyone could get him accepted to Kshahrewar, it was surely Haitham!
The sun had set outside, and the food on the table had long gone cold. Kaveh wasn't much of a chef, but Haitham was resistant to hiring any sort of servants, and Kaveh hated the feeling of going to food stalls and restaurants for every meal. And wasn't it his duty now to clean for his husband and keep him fed?
Looking over Sumeru City from a balconette, Kaveh could only sigh. His past self, he thought, was a complete and utter fool. A fool for thinking he could pursue his dreams, and a fool for thinking Haitham would love him. 
Tumblr media
His duty. Kaveh twisted his hands in his lap. When he had asked about attending Kshahrewar after their marriage, Haitham turned and met him with a blank stare that was somehow worse than any sneer.
"Why would you want that? You have no need for higher education or a job. Our marriage ensures that you will be well provided for." He began to protest, citing passion and ambition, but his words fizzled out as Haitham flipped through a book like Kaveh wasn't even in the room. They sat in silence after that.
Kaveh stood and headed for their bedroom. It wasn't the first night his husband hadn't returned to eat or sleep, and he knew it wouldn't be the last
Tumblr media
There was hardly time to blink the sleep from his eyes before Kaveh needed to scramble to the bathroom. The empty house filled with the sounds of retching, and then shaky sobs not long after. How nice it would be, Kaveh thought wretchedly, to have someone who would hold his hair and rub his back.
Kaveh leaned over the edge of the crib to smile down at his baby. All his, he thought. She took after him in almost every way, from her wheat hair and ruby eyes to the birthmark on her hip. His daughter, Sakina. His little sweetflower.
Tumblr media
Haitham hadn't been there for the labor, or for the birth. He hadn't even held her yet. But Kaveh no longer had the energy to care.
It was only when his daughter was months old that Haitham finally pulled his nose out of his book and saw his family clearly for the first time. When had she gotten so big? When had she started crying when he tried to hold her? When had the light gone out in his husband's eyes?

mf/nyy/lmy threadfic
Okay but Little Miss Yingying always staring at Mingyan-jie's lips and thinking about her big breasts and her and Liu Mingyan are close!!!! She's seen her friend naked. But she's straight. All girls look at their pretty girl friends. Girls are cute!!! Everyone knows that!!!! Ning Yingying is dating Ming Fan!! And they are very happy, thank you!! If she sometimes thinks about how soft Mingyan-jie's lips are, Liu Mingyan is just the hottest girl ever!!! Everyone does it!!! Also Mingyan-jie is always in a face mask! There's an element of mystery, as well!!!
But....Ning Yingying is curious. Are girls lips softer?
She asks Ming Fan, who she knows has fooled around with some of his friends before her. Ming Fan agrees. Which....Ning Yingying bites her own lip. Maybe Ming Fan could start wearing chapstick for her? So she can kiss soft lips, too. Ming Fan melts for her, of course, but Ning Yingying still thinks about Mingyan-jie. She's sooo pretty. Ning Yingying asks Ming Fan what big breasts feel like during sex one day. Ming Fan laughs as he grabs hers because Ning Yingying isn't small. "I'm proportionate" she pouts, poking her tummy. "I'm not big for my size"
Ming Fan eventually asks her if Ning Yingying has a girl she wants in bed because she keeps asking him about girls. And Ning Yingying's brain immediately pictures Liu Mingyan. But she just pouts and presses up against her boyfriend saying she'd never cheat on him. Ming Fan, face red, says it doesn't need to be cheating: it could be.....like how they sometimes talk about sharing Ming Fan. Just....another person in bed. A....girl. In bed. That Ning Yingying sleeps with. Ming Fan stumbles over his words as he says he doesn't even need to be there, but he'd sure like to be. Ning Yingying swats her boyfriend because of course no one would be in bed with either of them without the other one. Her own face goes red. Outside of that one fantasy they both had.
They fuck instead of talking about bringing a girl into bed at the reminder of that fantasy, but Ming Fan brings it up again later. And Ning Yingying blushes as she says that she'd want to kiss.....she wants to kiss Mingyan-jie. Mingyan-jie is soooo pretty, how could she not want to. But Mingyan-jie doesn't like people wanting to kiss her just because she's pretty. Ming Fan laughs, nicely.
"I don't think that'd be a problem here," he says.
And Ning Yingying pouts. Liu Mingyan is her friend!! She knows she doesn't like being wanted just because she's pretty!! And Ming Fan pokes her. And then he betrays her!!!!
He tells Liu Mingyan that Ning Yingying has something to ask her!!!! No she doesn't!!!! But she stumbles and!!! Liu Mingyan knows her!!! Ning Yingying is caught out!!!! She just asks what it's like to kiss girls. There!!! And she mentions she made Ming Fan try chapstick, but it can only do so much so fast. And Liu Mingyan blinks at her before smiling. And then she grabs her chin!!!! And lifts her veil!!! And!!! And!!!!
Ning Yingying is being kissed!!! By not her boyfriend!!!!
But she melts into Mingyan-jie's embrace. Her lips really ARE soft. She lets herself be kissed until Liu Mingyan pulls away. Ning Yingying's chest is heaving. Her heart is pounding. Oh. That felt really nice. She really liked that. Liu Mingyan smiles again.
"Wanna try again?"
And, yes, please.
Ning Yingying makes out with Liu Mingyan until she's wet. Until she can feel Liu Mingyan's cock hard against her tummy. And then she flushes. She forgot about her boyfriend.
"Mingyan-jie, wait–"
"It's a little late to say you don't like girls."
Embarrassed, Ning Yingying shakes her head. "I–Ming Fan–"
"Said he doesn't care what happens after you ask whatever little question you had." Her cock presses against Ning Yingying's tummy. "Yingying, please keep making out with me. I've thought about this forever."
And Ning Yingying flushes. "Me too."
Her mouth is devoured after that. And then the two of them cum in their pants a while after like teenagers.
Ming Fan's face, when she slides next to him, is super red. If she looks down, she can see he's half hard. Oh, she thinks. She presses next to him.
"I think I like kissing girls," she whispers. "But I like kissing you, too."
"That's a relief," he says, grabbing her hand. "Mingyan is way too hot; I was worried."
"I've always liked you" she pouts. She can like both like he does. "Does Fan-ge wanna kiss her too?"
His cock doesn't lie, Ning Yingying notes.
"This is about you liking girls."
"Well, we can multitask. Mingyan-jie made me cum, by the way."
"Yingyingggggg," he whines.
Ning Yingying rubs her hand on Ming Fan, right there on the couch in Liu Mingyan's apartment. Liu Mingyan is changing out of her spent panties; Ning Yingying hadn't even changed out of hers. "I came in my panties, Fan-ge."
Ming Fan wiggles under her hand. "Yingying–"
"Fan-ge set this up for Yingying and doesn't want anything in return?" she pouts. "Sitting here while Yingying kissed Mingyan-jie. Was it lonely? Could you hear me?" Ning Yingying knows she cums loudly
"I–a little," Ming Fan admits, cock stiffening. "But–"
Ning Yingying straddles one of his legs, pressing her wet pussy down. Ming Fan swallows.
"Did you think about Mingyan-jie touching me?" p> "Yes," is whispered, cock so heavy in Ning Yingying's hand.
"Have you? Since I brought up kissing girls?" Her boyfriend's face flushes in shame, and he tries to curl away from her. Ning Yingying giggles. "I think about you kissing boys, dummy."
"Yea but it's–"
"Hot. Seeing my boyfriend good for someone else. Do you want to see me good for Mingyan-jie? I could be so good for her. She came in her panties." Ning Yingying rubs her pussy down, sighing. "Her cock was pressed up on my tummy. I could feel it."
"Yingying," Ming Fan says, cock twitching as his eyes look to Liu Mingyan's bedroom. "She's–"
"I want her to join us," Ning Yingying pouts. "You said this was about me liking girls. I want this."
Ming Fan tilts his head up like a good boy. Ning Yingying kisses him. She sets a pace of her hips.
"Do you think she'll see us and wait until I call her name? Or will she just come out."
Ming Fan swallows. "If it was one of her porn novels she'd come out with her cock lifting up the tiny skirt she was wearing."
Ning Yingying laughs. She throws her head back, "Mingyan-jie!!"
Ming Fan tries to shush her, and Ning Yingying just giggles so hard she can't even call out anymore. Liu Mingyan comes out of her room, face flushed. No face mask on. She's in a normal miniskirt, and both Ning Yingying and Ming Fan look down to see if they can see her cock. Liu Mingyan's face blushes a pretty red.
"Ah?"
Pouting, Ning Yingying keeps rubbing her pussy on her boyfriend's leg. "Did you think I’d do a cum and run? Mingyan-jieeeeeeeeeee."
"I didn't think you'd be fucking your boyfriend right after coming, no."
Ning Yingying smiles, bouncing on Ming Fan's leg. "Mingyan-jieeee! Fan-ge wants to try kissing girls, too."
Both Ming Fan and Liu Mingyan laugh at her.
"Yingying, you are a girl."
"Ming Fan wants to kiss girls."
Liu Mingyan gets it before Ming Fan.
"Ah? Is that so?" she says as she joins them on the couch, hand on Ning Yingying's back and ass landing on Ming Fan’'s other thigh. Ming Fan's face blushes so red in a way it hasn't since Ning Yingying first fucked him the first few times. It's very cute. "Is it, Fan-ge?" Liu Mingyan asks again.
Ming Fan looks at Ning Yingying first before her. He nods. She smiles as she leans in; Ming Fan gasps before her lips even touch his.
She brings her hand down on top of Ning Yingying's on his cock. Liu Mingyan takes her time with his lips, kissing him leisurely. She can't get hard again, yet. So she isn't in a hurry. Ning Yingying is happily setting the slow pace on Ming Fan's cock as she rubs on his thigh like a slut, Ning Yingying brings her mouth in, giving a wet kiss where Liu Mingyan and Ming Fan are kissing. Ming Fan laughs as Liu Mingyan pulls away.
"What are you doing?"
"Kissing! c:"
"Yingying..."
"What! I was feeling left out."
Ming Fan kisses his girlfriend, and then Ning Yingying kisses Liu Mingyan.
"I want kisses, too!"
"I thought we were about Ming Fan this round," Liu Mingyan says.
"We can be about everyone >:c" Ning Yingying counters.
"You started it by saying Ming Fan wants to kiss girls"
"Well, now I want to be included. I want to kiss girls. And my boyfriend."
Snorting and laughing, Liu Mingyan and Ming Fan, respectively, silently agree to kiss the daylights out of Ning Yingying as she happily ruts herself into another orgasm on top of Ming Fan. Sighing happily as she kisses Liu Mingyan through her orgasm, Ning Yingying pulls away dreamily.
"I like this."
"Mhm," Liu Mingyan agrees, cock hard on Ming Fan's thigh. "I think your poor boyfriend wants to cum, though."
Ning Yingying squeezes her hand where it has been slowly and lazily rubbing her boyfriend off. "Mingyan-jie can do it."
"He's your boyfriend"
"He wants to experience girls :c"
"Either one of you, please," Ming Fan interrupts, hips wiggling as much as they can under the combined weight of both girls.
Ning Yingying pouts cutely at Liu Mingyan as she removes her hand. Liu Mingyan sighs, shifting so she can rub her cock on top of Ming Fan's. "Is this okay?"
Ming Fan nods, and Liu Mingyan captures his lips in a kiss. She brings his hands up to her breasts, moaning as he squeezes. He is quick to do what he wants with them, presumably what Ning Yingying likes. And that thought makes Liu Mingyan's hips jerk. She could easily cum if he keeps it up. Ning Yingying makes soft content sighs beside them. Again? Liu Mingyan thinks as she pulls away to look. Ming Fan huffs as he says that his girlfriend is a horny sex fiend. Her wanting a girlfriend, too, will save his cock, he jokes. And Ning Yingying pokes his forehead.
"I'll still bully you just as much. You moan too pretty not to," she says, and Liu Mingyan is caught on bully.
Ning Yingying, bullying her boyfriend. Ning Yingying, bullying her. She grinds hard down on Ming Fan's cock. "Does Ning Yingying like to be in charge?"
"Yea," and "Yes," at the same time.
And well, say less. Liu Mingyan ruts her way into her second orgasm of the day, rutting even after Ming Fan himself cums. Pretty little Yingying, a bully and her boytoy that Liu Mingyan could play with, too. It makes Liu Mingyan's heart pound at thought. She presses a kiss to Ming Fan’s forehead. "Well? do girlfriend and boyfriend both like kissing girls?"
Ning Yingying beams as she looks at Ming Fan. They both say yes. Liu Mingyan's tummy swoops.
"Enough for.....enough for– enough to–"
Ning Yingying sits behind her, breasts squishing against her back. "Enough to not let Mingyan-jie go now."

Fic finder
~*~
1. I'm looking for a fic that's during the Cloud Recesses study arc where, WWX I think, found out Wen Chao couldn't read and started teaching him. I think a couple of the other kids started helping him, MianMian maybe? I can't remember much but they definitely helped him learn how to read and became friends. TIA
FOUND? Wei Wuxian’s Super Special Super Secret Book Club by Anonyma (T, 31k, WWX & WC & LQY, WangXian, Canon Divergence)
~*~
2. hello!! All good? I'm looking for a collection of one shots, and I can't find it, I read it a little while ago but I remember a one shot, where Jiang Cheng and Wei Ying were discussing the fact that Wei Ying had saved the heirs of the sects in cave and Jin Ling was listening and Wei Ying was saying that if he hadn't saved the heirs Jin Ling wouldn't exist and Jiang Cheng said something like, Whatever.... Honestly, I don't even remember the tags, but Jiang Cheng and Wei Ying realizing that Jin Ling had heard, Wei Ying asks what Jin Ling wants. @sweettiebah
FOUND! 🔒 Chapter 11: Careless Words of Short Prompts by Vrishchika (JL POV - Not JC Friendly - WWX loses his patience)

3. Hello !! Ive read this fanfic a while ago and I have multiple ss of it since i like to save memorable parts of the fic but now i cant remember it anymore </3 i dont remember the synopsis but there was a scene where Lwj and Wwx were in an inn while out night hunting, and wwx suspected the person serving them to have poisoned lwj, wwx got really angry and threatened the guy to the max
quote:
Wei Wuxian slammed him against the wall again, cutting off his rapid ramblings and jostling his fractured arm. "Your stories bore me," he spoke lowly, peering his head around slightly so as to almost look into Heng She's face. He still had yet to acknowledge Lan Wangji's presence. "Tell me why you poisoned the tea, or I will hang you in the street by your intestines, ripped open to let the crows feed on your liver." @jingyisbff
FOUND! let me sing to you by greybird_crookedbranch (T, 61k, WangXian, Post-Canon, Canon Compliant, Hurt/Comfort, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Fluff and Angst, adorable Juniors, Minor Original Character(s)for plot purposes, Minor Violence, Demonic Cultivation, resentful energy, Trauma, Guilt, Protectiveness, BAMF WWX, Hurt wwx, Protective WWX, Protective LWJ, Baby Lans, Mental Instability, Possession, it's a case fic but the case is for the hurts, Angst with a Happy Ending, POV LWJ, a tasteful seasoning of Yunmeng Bros Reconcilliation, CQL canon except LWJ is not chief cultivator, Nightmares)

4. Hello! T__T I have my focus mode on so my distracting apps like twitter (x) are paused. I took a 5 minutes break and opened it. I saw a threadfic of Bottomji/Topxian (Omegaverse) They already have 3 kids (Yuan, Twins) but they are all alphas. lwj wants a daughter (or an omega son). He rode wwx that night then let him knot him for 3x. They were on a date and lwj bought some robes for a girl the confronts wwx that he wants a daughter.... Thats all Ive read. I want to read the whole thread but my app closed. 💔 Can you guys help me with it? I cant find it anymore.
FOUND! sounds like this twt threadfic by @/omegawangji
~*~
5. Hi, I need help finding a fic I’m pretty sure I’ve seen recommended on here a couple years ago.
I don’t remember the title or the author. It was on AO3. It was an Alternative Universe fic where WWX is an art student (and lived in a dorm with the Wen siblings) and LWJ has a very active but discreet sex life. WangXian know each other but they’re not together. Eventually they start sleeping with each other (WWX doesn’t realize LWJ actually likes him and he’s not just another hookup). There is also a secondary plot about one of LWJ’s past hookups stalking and tormenting them at a club or party at some point? T
his is all I can remember, unfortunately. I hope to reach someone who knows which fic this is by asking on here. WangXian nation, do your thing! 🙏
FOUND? show me a quiver, give me tonight by spookykingdomstarlight (E, 115k, wangxian, lwj/others, communication failure, mutual pining, artists, demisexual wwx, angst w/ happy ending) It doesn't match exactly but some details do
~*~
6. For fic finder, a fic I read a good while back.
It was one of those “jgs magically spies on the burial mounds to get people to hate wwx and the remnants” but in this one wwx and lwj did the “a-yuan is birthed from wwx” thing and the people spying believe it. Lqr passes out for a bit and lxc and jc start planning a wedding since lwj apparently deflowered wwx. I think it was completed
FOUND! Assumptions by draechaeli (T, 50k, WangXian, Canon Divergence, Mainly Novel with a few CQL and Donghua bits, Somebody Lives/Not Everyone Dies, Adoption, Adoption but WWX birthed them all, not mpreg, Not Established Relationship, Fluff, Canon-Typical Violence, Fix-It, gender non-conforming titles)
~*~
7. Hello! Here's one I've read a dozen times and would swear I have bookmarked, but now I can't find it. Basically, LZ is a courtesan/assassin who's sent by JGS to seduce and kill the powerful Yiling Patriarch. Meng Yao is working with LZ, although he has his own plans against JGS, of course. WWX later realizes LZ's brother is alive and looking for him, so he brings them together. (By the way, are you thinking of adding a Courtesan compilation? There are plenty of good ones to rec!) Thank you! @ladysalieri (we don't have a courtesan au specific comp but we do have a royalty one that includes a few! ^^ - Mod C)
FOUND! out to get you (to get you) by iliacquer (E, 41k, wangxian, graphic depictions of violence, switching, top/bottom LWJ, top/bottom WWX, power play, courtesan LWJ, assassin LWJ, dark lord WWX, bondage, happy ending, past slavery)
~*~
8. Hello i am looking for a fic where modern lwj time travels to the canon era and becomes original lwj, in the fic he is betrothed to yilling patriarch wy who sends him letters, and wy becomes more desperate and insane because lwj doesn't answers his letters. @ahiku-chan
FOUND? if this is a dream, i pray to never wake up by dangodangomilk (M, 27k, WangXian, Marriage, Weddings, Engagement, Canon Divergence, Parallel Universes, YLLZ WWX, false amnesia, Implied/Referenced Sex, Fluff and Angst, Sexual Content)
~*~
9. hello! i'm looking for a fic from lwj's pov. he runs into wwx (dark) in yiling i think, after burial mounds but before his new body. lwj is horrified by how bad he looks and convinces him to go to an inn (wwx mean), they have sex. during this lwj realizes that wwx's bones are all broken from his fall in the burial mounds and he is holding them stable with resentful energy. he can't heal them, but the resentful energy is working as a stopgap. possibly of it's own volition? bittersweet? thx! @saydams
~*~
10. Hello!! I love this blog, where I find fics to read!! A few days ago, I asked someone to find me a fic, but I'm here again because I remembered med and another fic that I loved reading, but currently can't find.
The things I remember: Wangxian has an spiritual connection, which is why the golden core transfer does not occur (and it is qing who informs Wei Ying of the connection, as Madam Yu knew and gave tea to undo the connection but it did not work ) and if I'm not mistaken Yanli is the one who told Wei Ying that the spiritual connection no longer exists (which is obviously wrong)
If you can't find it, I ask you to recommend something similar.
Thank you ❤💛🖤 @sweettiebah
FOUND! Half of my soul by Asphodel_Meadow (T, 8k, wangxian, Canon Divergence, No Golden Core Transfer, Fix-It, 5+1 Things, kinda soul bond but with their golden cores, POV Outsider, POV Alternating)

11. Hi, im looking for a fic where when Wei Wuxian was dead others tried to flirt with Lan Wangji. I remember one of the scenes where Shizui was walking to the jingshi and overherd someone (a cousin of Lan Jingyi?) trying to flirt with Lan Wangji. I think it was a 5+1 type of deal. No matter the way i word it, i cant find it. I`ve been looking on and off for months. @herebedragons02

12. I hope you don't mind me asking, i'm looking for a wangxian fic where there is a scene that takes place in the cloud recesses where jiang cheng injures nie huaisang and nie mingjue almost declares war on the jiang sect. Thats as much as i remember I hope it's enough to go on. If it helps any it was either a Jiang Cheng bashing fic or a Jiang Family bashing. / Hi i'm looking for a Jiang Cheng or Jiang Family Bashing fic (can't remember which it was) where Nie Huaisang gets severely injured by Jiang Cheng and Nie Mingjue almost declares war on the Jiang Sect. Thank you. @hanabichan2018

13. Hello I’ve been looking for this fic but I cannot find it I remember seeing it before it’s where in order to survive the burial mounds WY exchanges his heart which changes how he acts and then at the end JC, JYL, LWJ and NH decide to go to the burial mounds to see what happened to WY

14. Hi! For next fic finder, could you help me find a modern wangxian au with combination of arranged marriage, marriage of convenient (i think it is), and contract marriage. YZY arranged a marriage between WWX and LWJ for a bussiness cooperation. WWX agreed to that so he can get away from the Jiang (especially YZY) and to make his own carrier. Then LWJ and WWX make a contract to make the marriage last until 2 years and decided if they want to keep the marriage or not. I think LWJ playing his guqin and WWX is used to that and when 2 years almost up, WWX didnt want to get divorce. The fic is focused about them getting to know each other. I think thats all i can remember. I read that in 2021 so the detail is kinda patchy. If you dont know the fic at least a confirmation that im not the only one that ever read this. Thank you! @idontknowwhattowriteforusername
Hi, im #14. Unfortunately its not the fic that iam searching for. The one that iam serching for focused on wangxian, other characters barely appears. Even the jiangs only gets mentioned. Wwx didnt work for Jiang, i think he is graphic design freelancer? The agrement for divorce is between the two of them, their family didnt know about their agreement. They choose how long they stay together before divorce after they think that the project between their family is finished so their divorce wont effect the project. WWX even has a plan after their divorce to open his own office. If i remember corectly, WWX realize he didnt want to get divorced is a few days before the day of their divorce. Like he is in his room and thinking that after their divorce, he cant listening to LWJ playing his guqin and spend their days together and he didnt want that.
I really hope i didnt mix several fic together. Thank you!

15. Hello Mods, hope you are having a good day (^ ω ^)
This is for the fic finder and I'm not quite sure about this so just to be safe I don't want to upset anyone so
Trigger Warning! Trigger Warning! Trigger Warning!
This is what I remember: WWX is roofied or SA'ed in the Cloud Recesses ( I don't remember if that is shown) and there's a lot about how he handle it (denial? minimizing? disassociation?), and LWJ is there, he didn't do it, he is good, and anti-victim-blaming? if that makes sense?

16. Hi! For fic finder, I am looking for a short-ish fic where Jin Ling learns that Wei Wuxian is the one who named him “Rulan.” Jin Ling then realizes he is named after the Lans, and he has a teenage meltdown about how he is named after his uncle’s crush. Does this sound familiar? Thank you, everyone, for all your help! @gloriousclotpole
FOUND! three days gone by occultings (microcomets) (G, 4k, JL & WWX, WangXian, Post-Canon, Family Bonding, Homophobic Language, Fluff) there may be a few fics that fit, is it maybe the one where jin ling and jiang cheng are reading sect letters together, and jin ling got mad about being called "rulan"? so far i found another fic, ig it's "similar" since jin ling's only mad for one sentence, but i thought to link it anyway
~*~
17. Hi! I'm looking for a fic, but i only remember a specific scene from it: wwx and the wens on the horses and it's raining and lan zhan lets them go, but then i guess granny wen says go back and get him, and when they return, lan zhan is soaking wet and she says something along the lines of 'dramatic young people'. Thank you so much!
FOUND? Turn Around by mondengel (Not rated, <1k, wangxian, humor)

18. Hi, I'm looking for an AU WIP fic where WWX has to wear a mask; nobody but family is allowed to see his face. He and LWJ have an arranged marriage, but LWJ still refuses to let him take his mask off, and doesn't make any effort in the marriage. Very soon after they are married, he takes Wen Qing as a concubine, without explaining anything to WWX. WWX moves to a house near Lotus Pier, and there is a bit about him adopting children, but I can't remember how that came about... Thank you! @godiva696
FOUND! Sounds like the deleted "A price to pay" by wangxianist.
Not FOUND! sounds sorta like shana's identity porn fic here on tumblr

19. Hello! 😃 I hope you can help me find this fic that I have been looking for!
I only remember that Wei Wuxian gets reunited with the sect leader of the Yu sect,(she is basically his grandma I think) and he get very emotional, it is also at a discussion conference or something like that, it is a very sweet/happy scene.
thank you 😊

20. Hello! I’m looking for a fic where during the Sunshot Campaign, Wei Wuxian was able to tame the Xuanwu, resulting in victory. However, he wasn’t fully able to control its bloodlust so it was sequestered onto an island in Lotus Pier.
However, he leaves one day for a brief visit to Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yanli, JGS paid a child to visit the island and the child is killed. This causes WWX to go with the Xuanwu into the water surrounding the island and he disappears for many years.
Later on, Jin Ling ends up trying to prove himself by going into the forest surrounding this island (which has since filled with resentful energy). And finds that WWX has come back and the Xuanwu has been purified.
I’m not sure if it’s been deleted??

WIP Word Search
In other WIP Wednesday games, @theleakypen tagged me with the following words:
sleep | sky | press | breath | bud
Dear Charming Future Boyfriend,
Were you able to sleep, or did you think of my hands? Did you imagine me gripping your sexy thighs and feeling the give of hard muscles as I set them to quivering? The question of what you’re wearing is an academic one—I do my best work on bare skin.
— from the Zhancheng Magic Boyfriend Journal AU I'm writing with @bideroo
Nie Huaisang wrinkles his nose, rather ruining his image of refinement. "Nie er gongzi would invite his fellow scholar to be less formal, and begs their forgiveness for not remembering their name."
"Li Shuitian," Jiang Yanli says.
"As in—" Nie Huaisang gives a pointed look to the stream full of splashing disciples and then the blue sky overhead, and chuckles when Jiang Yanli nods. "Well then, Li-xiong, from one sneak to another, I'm glad you're here this summer."
— from yet another accidental threadfic, this one where novel!JYL goes to the Cloud Recesses lectures by pretending to be a boy
Song Lan sighed, and resumed stroking over the hard, fluttering whatever-they-were that made Xiao Xingchen keen in three different pitches and the smell of the air before lightning. "I just wish I could see what I do to you. For all the tentacles, it seems my eyes are still too human."
The rhythmic motion in his dantians stopped as Xiao Xingchen froze.
Song Lan frowned. "Xingchen? Did I do something wrong? I don't mean to press."
"No, no, of course not," Xiao Xingchen said. "It's just — I have such an awful lot of eyes..."
— from glorious and strange, the hypothetical eldritch songxiao sequel to Puck's Taste You In My Core
"Hanguang-jun!" shouted the Wen captain, "and the Demon of Yiling himself. Surrender! We have you far outnumbered, and I can see you are missing your weapons."
Wei Wuxian drew breath against the complaints of his ribs, ready to call up any resentful spirit in earshot and show this Wen dog how dangerous he was, even unarmed, but Lan Wangji was faster. Across the courtyard before Wei Wuxian could even blink, Lan Wangji seized the captain around the throat and tossed him into the line of men behind him. Wei Wuxian had fought beside Lan Wangji for months now, seen his fatal grace in action more times than he could count, but the way he moved now held a power and a ferocity he had never seen. Lan Wangji ripped through the rows of Wen soldiers like they were nothing more than an army of papermen, spinning and striking with dizzying speed and overwhelming force.
— from the Lanpires AU with @bladedweaponsandswishycoats
I didn't have "bud" so have a "buddy":
“I have already offered to replace your cake,” the man says… irritably? Probably irritably. His words are short and clipped, and his expression is utterly flat. It’s honestly impressive, in a scary sort of way. Not the kind of guy Wei Wuxian would want to piss off. Still, he could try to act a little more apologetic. “Either allow me to do so, or let me be on my way.” Sheesh.
Wei Wuxian braces for the fireworks, but Jiang Cheng closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. Wei Wuxian can practically see him discarding another round of invective, which hey, good job, buddy! “It was a custom order,” Jiang Cheng grits out. “They won’t have time to just remake it.”
Unbothered Dude’s face does something that might, generously, be called a frown.
— also from Zhancheng Magic Boyfriend Journal :D
This is a fun way to do this! I'll tag @bladedweaponsandswishycoats @bideroo @therealfailwhale @dragongirlg-fics and anyone else who wants to play with the words:
shake | wonder | four | over | beat
