He wasn’t supposed to be out late, Lan Zan knew, but he was scared.

Shufu told him that when he was scared he could come to him or Xichen, but they were both gone to Lanling and his room was so big when he was alone.

Besides, Mama wouldn’t tell. They kept secrets all the time, like the silly song she taught him to play even though he was only supposed to practice what his teachers gave him, and the sweet bun she gave him one time even though he’d been punished with no sweets.

Mama took a long time to answer after he knocked, and she was very quiet when she asked, without opening the door, “Who is there?”

“Mama.” Lan Zhan said. “I’m scared.”

Still, the door stayed closed, but Mama spoke louder when she said, “Ah, Zhan-er, what are you doing out of bed? Why don’t you find your brother?”

“Ge is gone with Shufu.”

Mama was quiet for a little bit, but Lan Zhan could see her settling next to the door.“How about you sit with me for a moment,” she said. “I can’t let you in or we’ll both be in trouble, but you can sit.”

“Can you sit out here with me? It’s dark.”

After a moment, Mama cracked the door open so warm light spilled out.

“You can’t come in Zhan-er, and I can’t come out, but you can hold my hand.”

Mama’s hand was warm, and Lan Zhan held on as tightly as he could.

Pun: what kind of shorts do clouds wear? Thunderwear!

A/N: I LOVE THAT PUN WOOHOO

xoxo, sayaka.sy

As you stroll the streets outside the Palais Mermonia, you smile at the passing melusines, offering them rainbow roses that you picked along the way.

Today was a pretty relaxed day for you. Barely any criminals to fight off, thank god. You’d decided to pay your busy boyfriend, the Iudex, Neuvilette a visit.

Walking through the halls of the Palais Mermonia, you greet Sedene, the melusine that guarded Neuvillette’s office. After knocking on his office door, you skip inside, humming a cheerful tune.

Neuvillette looks up, a soft smile gracing his face. He walks over to you, bending down to kiss your hand. He watches as you giggle and give him a hug. He glances at the clock, “shall we go out for dinner, my love?” As you agree, he abandons his paper work without a second thought, his cold hand slipping into yours.

So how do Vincent and Quinn feel about bad dad jokes? I just gotta ask. We all know Ghost loves them and Soap seemed to find them tolerable.

Can I have Rhea Ripley x Fem reader where they are locked in a room together by the boys and confess their feelings for each other?

Locked in with you.

pairing: rhea ripley x reader

warnings: kissing, fluff, locked in place.

word count: 971.

summary: the boys plot a plan to get you and Rhea together, so they decide on spin the bottle.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Damians thunderous laugh echoed through he silence of my bedroom. I throw on some sweats and trudge my way downstairs to notice the boys laughing to Dominick's jokes. If I had to be honest, they were kind of funny. I sit down and the boys greet me one by one.

I lay on the couch and ventured slowly out of reality, ruminating about how Rhea feels about me. Does she feel the same love I do for her? I want her so badly but I can't have her that fast.

"What's wrong? You're acting different." Damian pondered. I just look at him for a moment. Should I tell him about Rhea?

"It's Rhea." I muttered. Damian looks at me confused.

"What did she do now?" I look at him and laugh. He doesn't know how I feel about her. I might as well tell him. As soon as I open my mouth to speak, I'm interrupted by Dom's laugh.

"Guys!!" Dom says through his laughs, "I have a new joke. What does a storm cloud wear under his raincoat?"

"What now Dominick?"

"THUNDERWEAR!!!" He laughs so hard after cracking the joke. We all just stare at him.

"Anyways, Damian, I think you're missing it. I love Rhea, a lot. She's so gorgeous. She's the prettiest woman I've ever seen." I expressed to him. He looks at me and smiles.

"Thats adorable! I have an idea to get you guys together.." He spoke. I smiled.

"Tell me." I ordered. I smile as he explains to me what our plan is. & minutes in heaven is an amazing idea. I laugh with the boys after our plan is set. As I'm laughing, I hear a car door slam. Its her, she's here.

Rhea walked in the door and noticed I was laughing along with the boys.

"Well, well, well, what are you guys up to?" Rhea forms. The words roll perfectly off her tongue. Her voice was so angelic.

"We were waiting for you to get back so we can play a game!" I said excitedly. She smiled. "What do you think of 7 minutes in heaven?"

"I'm fine with that if you are, princess." She smiled down at you.

"Lets go!" She pulls all of us up to my room to play. Her hand has a strong grip on my wrist up the stairs, just so I can't fall away from it. We all find a seat about my circular, furry, white carpet. We get comfortable, then we hear Rhea shout.

"I'll go first!" Rhea says abruptly. She spun. Her eyes followed the spinning Coca-Cola bottle, filled with anticipation. Round, round the bottle spins, hoping it would land on you, and it did.

The boys all laughed, with a long "oooooh" rolling slowly off their tongues. You stared at Rhea, and she smiled.

"Only okay with it if you are, darling."

It's only seven minutes I guess.. Maybe something will happen as the boys said. I head over to the closet and beckon her over. She gets up and mouths something to the boys. Something that looked like a, "Thank you."

She looked at me and smiled. We both step into the closet and she sits on the closet floor, with her knees to her chest. She just admires me as I fix my hair. I just throw my hair up into the messy bun for now.

"Well, darling. How was your day?" she mutters with her deep, husky voice.

"Fine, I slept all day." I managed to usher out more, "my cat, Ragnar, bit me." She laughed at me. Why is she laughing, it can't be that funny.

She looked me up and down after she stopped laughing. "Your gorgeous, princess." I laugh awkwardly as she looks at me.

"You look nervous princess, something on your mind?" She asked. The only thing on your mind was her. She's absolutely gorgeous. Her black lipstick perfectly matched the "Rhea" personality. Her body was perfectly sculpted into one, and her hands are perfect.

"Hey? Are you okay?" She said worriedly. No. I love her so much, and it's scary to tell her but I have to. She stared me in the eyes, waiting for me to talk to her.

"No. I'm not." I stated. She looked at me and asked, "What's wrong princess, you can talk to me." She whispered. Should I tell her. It's risky, but it's better than hiding my feelings. Im going to do it.

"Rhea. I love you. And i've loved you ever since I first laid eyes on you. Your gorgeous. I've never seen anyone as beautiful and caring as you Rhea Ripley. I want to be with you and be your girlfriend." I cried to her with tears streaming down my flushed cheeks.

"Hey, it's okay princess. Come here honey. Its okay.. I've got you." I leaned into her and she caressed my cheek, while playing with my hair. She never told me she liked me. Does she not love me back?

"To be honest, I love you too darling. I've loved you since the day we met backstage. You're a perfect girl with an amazing heart. I don't want anyone else but you." She leaned down to me and pressed her lips against mine, connecting into a slow, intimate kiss. She kisses you multiple times, until the door opens.

"It worked!" Damian said, giving Dom a High-Five.

"Shut up, losers." Rhea laughed out. She grabbed your hand and pulled you out of the closet. She walked you out of the house, her arm around your waist.

"Would you like to go for a drive, princess?"

What if Cangse Sanren and Wei Changze took Madame Lan and her children from Cloud Recesses to live happily ever after?

Something Warm and Safe, by Winxhelina (6 chapters)

"Rich-gege!" A-Yuan exclaims happily.

"You can't call him that," Wei Wuxian admonishes gently. He puts an arm around Lan Wangji just as his knees give out, "Hey! I'm holding a child, you can't pass out on me like that. Oh. Oh, your back is covered in blood. Is that - is that your blood, Lan Zhan?!"

"Mn."

"Oh. Oh, you're bleeding a lot! Hold on! I'm putting A-Yuan down. A-Yuan, walk on your own for a bit. Can you also hold the basket for me? You're so mature and responsible! Okay, Lan Zhan, stay with me. I've got you."

"Is Rich-gege hurt?"

Lan Wangji doesn't hear the rest of that conversation.

In which Granny Wen manages to convince Wei Wuxian to take A-Yuan and hide away from the world. Lan Wangji manages to find them.

Cangse Sanren would be disappointed.

(Where LQR, right smack in the middle of the war, realizes that WWX doesn’t have a Core. He promptly enlists his own pining nephew in ensuring that, after winning the war for them, WWX is going to end up with GL instead of YJ. He owes that much to Cangse Sanren.)

Preparing the Soil, by Rynne (3 chapters)

When Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian return to spend the first winter after their marriage in the Cloud Recesses, Wangji is forced to grapple with his uncle's resistance to accepting his new husband fully into the clan. At the heart of this conflict is Lan Qiren's rule forbidding talking to Wei Wuxian. How can Wangji make the Cloud Recesses a more welcoming place for his husband when what he fights now is his uncle's stubbornness?

Fix What We Can, by Kestral

Wei Wuxian shook him gently, feeling like an actor reading from a script. “Jiang Cheng, you need to wake up so you can eat.”

“Fuck off.”

“If you don’t get up and eat, you won’t be strong enough for a new core.”

Jiang Cheng went stiff beneath his hand.

“That’s right,” he said, feeling dread pool in his stomach. “I said ‘new core.’”

He laboriously pushed himself upright. The look of hope on his face was painful. “There’s a way?”

“Yes, but I won’t say any more about it until after you’ve eaten.”

When he had twice emptied his bowl, he turned his focus onto Wei Wuxian. His eyes were fierce, expectant, piercing.

It would be easier, to keep to the script. For a moment Wei Wuxian wavered in his resolve, but of all the names he deserved, coward was not among them.

He took a deep breath. “I want to give you my core.”

Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji go back in time undo all the hurt. They fail.

‘cause it’s worth the sacrifice to finally be strong, by MichelleFeather

"Why does no one believe you both are in a relationship with each other?" he asked over dinner, Lan Huan not in attendance.

Lan Zhan and Wei Ying shared a glance filled with years of that exact same question - along with the rage, anger, sadness, and acceptance that came with such a thought. Wei Ying swirled his drink around with his straw, the ice softly clinking against the clear glass.

"They don't believe us. That's the only conclusion we've ever been able to come to Uncle." he responded, hesitantly looking up at the elder.

"Uncle, you and the Wen siblings are the only people who believe Wei Ying and I are together, that we are married. Brother has always said we were best friends, soulmates, then immediately offered to arrange dates for me."

When The Clock Strikes Four, by Enigmatree

In the end, in the very end, the dreams had come to this point. This Jiang Cheng had no one left. His mother had died to give him Zidian, his father had died to give him his title. His sect had died to gift him the glory of being the Sect Leader that had single-handedly resurrected the Jiang Sect. His sister wasn’t here and Wei Wuxian had given up his golden core and gone missing. Respect, achievements, a name, the Jiang Sect, immense strength, glory, a position where no one could ever again belittle him...

The Jiang Cheng in these dreams… he had attained everything Jiang Cheng had ever dreamed of having.

And now he had no one.

That was the damning point, wasn’t it?

(Whilst still in the Cloud Recesses, Jiang Cheng starts dreaming of the moments of a life that another Jiang Cheng had most regretted. He scrambles against the ever ticking clock to discover the things that might have become his greatest regrets, fix his own future, and find out why and how this is even happening to him. Thankfully, he has some help.)

“I'm sorry, Lan Zhan.”

“This is in no way Wei Ying's fault.” He shook his head, eyes focused on Wei Wuxian's face when he said it.

“I could've helped you earlier.”

“You were worried about the ones who could not protect themselves.” His voice was deep and sober, “Like the promise we made 10 years ago.”

Lan Wangji is bedridden after receiving the thirty-three strikes as his punishment. He has just been informed of Wei Ying's death. He is convinced he'll never see his beloved again and his soul mourns the loss of him. But something happens in the Jingshi that forces Lan Wangji back to the past, almost three years before Wei Ying visits Cloud Recesses. Lan Wangji is determined to change the past and make sure his beloved is safe and treated with the respect he deserves this time.

T, 5k, Madam Lan/Cangse Sanren

Summary: “And if I steal her away?” “Then we figure it out together.” What if Cangse Sanren and Wei Changze took Madame Lan and her children from Cloud Recesses to live happily ever after? Kay's comments: Sometimes I just think about Mama Lan and I get so sad. She deserved better, OK? And today, in my time of need, this fic came to me and offered my a lovely canon divergence where Mama Lan was Cangse Sanren's first love, so of course she's going to Gusu to break her out of her jail and of course Wei Changze is there too, absolutely supportive. Cangse Sanren has two hands!! One for Mama Lan and one for Wei Changze. And I love that for all of them. Excerpt: “Do you want to meet my son?” She asked, giving one last squeeze to Luo Sihua’s waist. They pulled back to look down at A-Ying who hid a little bit farther behind her robes at the sudden attention. There was one last hitch to Luo Sihua’s chest before she took a deep breath and then leaned down to introduce herself to A-Ying. “You can call me Madame Lan.” The fury that ripped her was unexpected but not undeserved. He’d taken everything else from her, and now she didn’t even have her name? “No.” Wei Ying jolted in surprise beside her when she spoke and hid his face in her robes again, but she didn’t have it in her to care. She was too angry. “No, A-Ying, you’ll call her Luo Sihua.” Luo Sihua looked up and met her gaze with a soft, sad expression on her face, and neither of them looked away as Cangse Sanren bit out, “My son will not call you by his name.”

Number 8 for the fic ask game!

#8: a fic about family relationships for the fic rec ask game

despite what it might seem like, not all the fic i read is for sv! in particular, when i'm looking for a familial relationship / no romance fic, i rarely ever check the sv tags. that's all to say: there is one sv fic that comes to mind that i'll link here, but the following rec is for mdzs instead - whoops. 🙈

"Mouse on the Thorn" by Lbhs_left_tiddie: yqy finds sy as a very young child, clearly being abused very very badly. sy is also very clearly related to sqq (sj), but sqq wants nothing to do with even acknowledging the boy, so yqy takes him in. helping sy heal helps yqy himself heal, but it also puts a whole new strain on yqy's relationship with sqq, and forces yqy to reevaluate that relationship. please mind the tags on this one!

"Righteous at a Cost" by thunderwear: after lwj returns from visiting wwx + the wen remnants - and subsequently spends his time moping around the cloud recesses - lqr decides to take matters into his own hands and make a visit to wwx himself. unfortunately for wwx, this results in lqr discovering the secret of wwx's missing golden core very, very quickly. faced with the truth of the matter - both in regards to wwx and the unthreatening wen remnants - lqr invites wwx back to the cloud recesses himself.

The inherent homoeroticism of vampires

[ao3 link]

[artfromthunderwear]

The Jingshi was in shambles, things thrown to the floor, blankets and clothes scattered everywhere, an inkpot turned over on the desk, ink spilling onto the papers strewn across it.

In the middle of the chaos sat Lan Zhan.

His hair was down around his shoulders, loose and messy in a way Wei Wuxian had never seen before, even in the cold springs, even when they’d been trapped and injured in the Xuanwu cave. His robes were in a similarly alarming state, rumpled and stained and hanging loose.

What shocked Wei Wuxian the most, however, was the fact that sitting in his lap, chewing on the strings of his forehead ribbon, was a baby.

“Please help me,” Lan Zhan said, desperate and defeated.

—how do i forgive myself (for losing so much time)
