#Yanqing's Happy Family asks

[topaz-witch-tea]

OMG HIIIII

FIRST OF ALL I LOVE UR WORKS SM I THINK IM LOSING MY MIND FROM THE CUTENESS

SECOND OF ALL I GOT A BRAINROT TO SHARE WITH YOU!

Ahem- So yk how Yingxing was told to be like, very workaholic and so consumed with his work to the point he forgets to eat, drink or sleep?

I headcanon that sometimes he goes back into this old habit for a week or two just working to the point that Yanqing has to alert Dan Feng and Jing Yuan to drag the guy outside of his workshop LMAO

They force him to take care of himself or Yanqing will cry (HES SO CUTE I CANT-)

Aww thank you so much!!! I really enjoy getting asks and having people interested in it!!!

This is absolutely adorable.

***I hope I did your brainrot justice. The draft has been in progress for a while and I am now finishing it at 1:30 AM

Yingxing has his own private forge in the manor so he can work on his own things and also so he wouldn't have to stay in the Artisanship Commission all day to work on things. The problem is that now his commute from his home to a forge has been cute, he can spend more time on personal projects.

He becomes a ghost, just meandering the halls for food and water before returning back to his work. He is gone for so long that Yanqing misses him. He's also a bit scared since his father looks like he died inside.

Yanqing would absolutely go running to the other two about it. He's too young to understand what's actually happening to his dad but something is wrong and he doesn't like it. Dan Feng is displeased due to his inability to take care of his health but also the distress it is causing Yanqing. Jing Yuan is more concerned as to the lack of care Yingxing is participating in. While Yanqing just wants his Baba to get better and play with him again.

********

Yanqing waited patiently at the door for what has been 30 minutes now. In his hands was his white lion plushie sporting a very noticeable tear on its ear, a result from a play fight with Mimi. On the other side of the door was his father's private forge- a place for the Furnace Master to pursue his private projects. Yanqing was never allowed in without permission lest his father accidentally pour molten near him or accidentally harm him with tools of the trade.

He had knocked quietly to request his father's aid and was told to stand outside quietly for a bit as his father cleaned up the forge. Yingxing had looked tired and a bit frazzled. His usually neat hair was knotted and messy and he had bags under his eyes. So engrossed in a project after getting his hands on some rare materials, he had forgone daily care and even the pleasures of life. He ate when his stomach growled louder than the sound of his hammer and he drank when he would develop pounding headaches and his vision would get blurry. He would sleep on his chair so that he may continue his work when the sun rose.

Yanqing was quite distraught upon laying eyes on his father. He hadn't seen him in a week and a half and did not dare to call for him, not wanting to disturb his important work. So there he stood until 10 became 20 which became 30. His feet started to hurt and he couldn't help but feel upset. Did he forget about Yanqing?

Yanqing wanted to go and knock again, but he was always warned about disturbing his father in the forge. So he settled for the next best option. Running down the courtyard, he made his way to the archives where his other 2 fathers engrossed themselves in a book that was gifted to them.

Walking up to Jing Yuan, Yanqing tugged on his clothing in an attempt to get his attention.

"Yanqing? What are you doing here?" Jing Yuan picked the child up and put him on his lap.

"Baba is really busy. I asked him to fix my toy and he made me wait outside for a long time."

"Oh, did he now? Doesn't he know its wrong to make Yanqing wait at all?" Jing Yuan teased before tickling his son, causing the boy to squirm.

"But I haven't seen Baba in forever and when I saw him, he looked really scary?" Yanqing exclaimed.

"Scary?" Dan Feng inquired

"Mhm, he looked like a zombie! Like those monsters in that movie you watched!"

"I see. Do you miss Baba?" JIng Yuan asked.

"Yes! Baba hasn't played with me in a long time." Yanqing said leaning into his father's hold as he observed the High Elder exchange a look with the General.

Dan Feng reached patted Yanqing on the head. "Why don't you go to the kitchen for a snack? A-die and I will get you Baba to play with you, okay?"

"Really?" Yanqing beamed.

"Really, now run along." Yanqing hopped off his father's lap and raced to the kitchen.

Yingxing was fast asleep when a heavy weight landed on his chest. He quickly shot up to see Dan Feng peering over him, his eyes cloudy with annoyance and a bit of anger. Jing Yuan stood next to him, an amused smile present on his face as always.

"What was that for?" Yingxing exclaimed.

"Playing dumb doesn't suit you. You know exactly what it was for!" The tail swished back and forth, threatening an even harder hit if he asked another stupid question. Though it seemed that sleep and lack of care was making Yinxing's brain run extra slow today.

"You're doing it again." Jing Yuan jumped in, saving him from another whack. "No eating, drinking, and barely any sleeping. Yanqing hasn't seen you in over a week."

Yingxing's slowly connected the dots.

Yanqing...Yanqing...

"Oh! Is he still waiting outside? How long has it been?" Yinxing pulling out his phone to check the time.

"No, we told him to go to the kitchen for snacks. You should join him for some, and maybe for a nap as well. He misses you."

Yingxing rubbed his eyes and slowly collected himself, exhaustion still very present. "Yeah, I'll definitely need a nap after."

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ASK!!!

I hope you like it and feel free to send more and send any questions you have regarding the AU.

Star Rail Men - letting go of their hand prank

Characters: Argenti, Aventurine, Blade, Boothill, Caelus, Dan Heng, Dr Ratio, Gallagher, Gepard, Jiaoqiu, Jing Yuan, Luka, Moze, Mr Reca, Sunday, Welt Yang, Yanqing

Notes: fem reader, implied to be shorter than him

Authors note: anddddd we’re back!! This one really made us giggle when writing it. Hope you all enjoy it. Feel free to like, comment, and follow :)

Argenti

Doesn’t stop him, he just wraps an arm around your waist and keeps walking. And you just keep walking shocked but happy because you’re even closer to him which makes you smile. He looks at you with an even bigger smile and goes to claim that this way of walking together is “even more beautiful than holding hands.”

Aventurine

Raises his eyebrow and asks “did you get tired of me already? Guess the tab will be on you this time then?” Your jaw drops and you look at him like “do you think I have that kind of money??” And then he chuckles and says “looks like you’re stuck with me then, so try not to let go again, alright?” Let’s just say you never let go of his hand first from then on.

Blade

Not even a millisecond after you let go he is giving you the biggest death glare ever. He would say “just what do you think you’re doing?” He would also just keep glaring at you until you give him a satisfactory response to his question, and let’s just say he is not amused when you say it’s a prank. From that point on you made sure never to prank him again because that was a scary experience.

Boothill

Teases you beyond belief. Once you let go he just looks at you and asks “whatcha doin’ darling?” While you shrug and walk a little ahead of him while he laughs and jogs a little to catch up with you but suddenly your world turns upside down because he threw you over his shoulder. You realize what he did and say “Boothill put me down, I’m wearing a skirt!” And he just laughs and shakes his head “well you didn’t wanna hold my hand, so this is the next option. Plus don’t worry I won’t let anyone see what’s mine” and puts a hand protectively over the back of your thighs.

Caelus

Stops everything and looks at you like you just murdered his entire family. Because why would you let go of his hand?? He would look at you and say “I’ll just have to tape our hands together so you don’t get lost, like always”. Because after all he is THE Galatic Baseballer, you can’t just let go of his hand. You narrowed you eyes at him and say “aren’t you the one who always gets lost?!” He looks away and says “well we’ll get lost together then” then grabs your hand and starts walking again.

Dan Heng

You two are walking around Paperfold University so he can see what classes he wants to sit in on to add more to his data bank. Once you let go he’s curious to see if you found something interesting to go look at but once you tell him it’s a prank expect his side eye. He will give you a side eye then shake his head asking “really?” Then continues his walk forward once you realize he is leaving you, you run after him and give him a big hug around his back apologizing. He turns his head to softly smile at you and grabs your hand to continue.

Dr Ratio

He literally does not care at all and just continues on with whatever you two were doing. You just stare at him for a solid couple minutes and he asks “what’s with the glare?” And you say how you were trying to prank him by letting go of his hand to see his reaction. He looks at you with a look of disgust saying “that is the dumbest thing I have ever heard of.” Then again proceeds to carry on with whatever he was doing. But out of the corner of his eye he sees you upset and leaving, he reaches out to grab your arm and pulls you into him while he continues his work.

Gallagher

You guys are walking around after his shift wondering if you guys should go to the bar so he could make some drinks. Once you guys decide to go to the bar on your walk there you guys are stopped by one of the hounds asking him a question. The conversation ends up taking much longer than you two expected, so you let go of his hand to go to the bar and let Siobhan know he wants to make some drinks. But before you even turn around to walk away Gallagher reaches and grabs your hand again telling the hound he’ll figure it out tomorrow because right now he’s gotta spend time with his girl.

Gepard

Doesn’t realize because he’s so busy looking around making sure everything is safe and okay. Yeah it’s his day off but he is still so focused on his job. So once you let you of his hand and he keeps walking you stand in place for a couple seconds before calling his name. Then he whips his head around to see you’re not by him now and jogs back to you asking what’s wrong. You explain to him that it was a prank but he should relax and enjoy the time you two have together. He nods and grabs your hand right away but still is occasionally looking around. You can’t won’t ever fight but at least you are holding hands again.

Jiaoqiu

His is not a prank because I feel so bad for him being blind. But he is confused when you let go. You’re holding his hand to help guide him around the market to get some things for a party you guys are hosting, but you just let go?? So he thinks you found something but still tries to reach out and find you. When he can’t reach out and grab you, he calls out your name to try and get your attention. Once you realize what you did you apologize to him an infinite amount of times. After this happened you never let go of his hand unless you tell him, you also still apologize to this day.

Jing Yuan

Plays along and essentially pranks you. He just keeps walking like nothing happened and it shocks you, like did he not care??? So you try to hold his hand again and he doesn’t let you and says “thought you didn’t want to hold my hand?” While you stand there baffled but then get sad because you realize he won’t hold your hand again because he’s joking around. But he sees you get sad and then goes back to holding your hand and has a tight grip on it.

Luka

As soon as you let go of his hand he’s whipping his head around and looking at you incredulously. He immediately faces you and grabs both of your hands in a death grip. He then starts walking backwards with his eyes glued to your guys’ interlocked hands and you ask “Luka what the heck are you doing??” He responds with “I’m making sure you don’t let go again, and if that means walking backwards then I’ll do it for the rest of our lives”. You immediately soften at his response and vow to never let go of his hand again (that may or may not be because he fell backwards right after he said that).

Moze

Knows what you’re doing before you even try it, he just says “don’t” while still looking ahead while walking. Don’t even try to act like you weren’t going to do anything because he will call you out on that too. He basically knows your every movement and idea before you do. So you relent and continue on with your walk. But he kind of feels bad ruining your fun so he rubs his thumb on the back of your hand while dragging you to a sweets stand to get a treat.

Mr Reca

Gives you a little side eye and says “Oh, what’s this? Going off script are we?” He then grabs your hand again and continues to follow his script as always while telling you to “make sure you stay to the script, please and thank you”.

Sunday

IS STRESSED OUT. Asking so many questions “are you okay?” “Did you see something? “Are you mad at me?” Please apologize to him, he’s been through enough. Once you explain and apologize to him he goes in for a big hug no matter where you guys are, once you both let go of the hug you guys continue walking hand in hand while he brings your knuckle up to his lips to give it a little kiss.

Welt Yang

He honestly is old school and just honestly thinks you don’t want to hold hands anymore. But once he realizes you’re silent after that happens he asks what is wrong and you begin to tell him it’s a prank, and he kinda just stares at you and asks “is that what young people consider a prank now?” You end up just laughing and shaking your head but he is genuinely serious about his question and wants to know the answer.

Yanqing

His first thought when you let go would be that you got kidnapped. He would whip his head around like a maniac looking for you. He would then see you giggling behind him and let out a sigh of relief before interrogating you and saying “why did you let go? I thought you got taken. Please never do that again”. You instantly felt bad and then made sure to never let go of his hand ever again. Jing Yuan did make sure to tease you guys about always holding hands though.

hello! jing yuan meeting his kid he had from a previous relationship?

so jing yuan had a previous lover, he didnt visit her until he learned that she was in a bad situation/ struggling with poverty

so he goes to visit and sees a kid that looked like him that he never knew of, they were neglected by their mother while he was gone all these years

reader is the kid, thankss

★ A/N: I decided to mash these 2 into one as I feel like the reader would've gotten trust issues if their mother neglected them, not to mention what if the mother lied to their kid painting JY (their father) as a bad guy :0 Anyways, I hope the anons don't mind I merged the requests into one

☆ Genre/Trope: Platonic + Familial + Hurt/Comfort?

★ Format: Bullet Pointed Scenarios

☆ Warnings: Readers mother is neglectful/a toxic mother (+ alcoholic)

★ Extra: Reader is young (11-12) // Jing Yuan trying his best to heal whatever his ex partner did // Also 2 posts in one day haha, had a bunch of free time during the storm

I feel like for Jing Yuan to not visit his past lover nor have her contacts, she'd have to already be a bad partner. What I mean is, Jing Yuan seems like the type to even after a break up, not want it to affect his relationship with the other person UNLESS said other person was toxic. If that makes sense???

But anyways, I don't know if that mattered. Let's assume that a friend of said ex partner went to Jing Yuan for help. Explaining her situation in hopes Jing Yuan would be willing to help.

He is, much to the delight of the friend. However he underestimated just how bad the situation is, as when he went to check. The house is in shambles.

Dirty dishes building up in the sink, trash on the ground it's hard to move around in, there's a kid and aeons it smells like such dog sh-

Wait a kid!?

Jing Yuan stares at you, you stare at him. It's just...silence. Despite everything and how long it may be. He knows that you're his kid. And after getting over the initial shock. He gently calls you over, but you refuse. Shaking your head and even creating a bigger distance.

He lets out a small sigh, unsure on what to do but just decides to look for your mother again. Telling you to please stay put, and once he does find the mother. Passed out on the couch with alcohol bottles around, he gets an even better view on what you seem to have went through.

Things have been dealt with, the mother is gone and in jail for child negligence which leaves you with your biological father who is more than happy to look after you.

At the same time though, your mother had both neglected your needs. Giving just the bare minimum to keep you alive and had fed you lies. The man in front of you may be your father but you can't help but believe the harsh words your mother told you.

But to your surprise, he's nothing like how she described. He's...gentle...patient...and never raises his voice at you. Even when you make a mistake and start tearing up ready to apologise, he's already brushing it off. Saying it's fine, not to worry.

Jing Yuan isn't bothered by your behaviour at all. He understands and knows. He takes a few days off work, to just ensure you're all better. You get new clothes, a big meal prepared for you and a new room. It's such a...new feeling.

Jing Yuan doesn't force you to do anything, doesn't force you to hug him or be near him. All he asks is that you stay safe in the house. He doesn't outright ask for you to trust him just because he's your father, he gains your trust. No matter how long it'll take for you to be comfortable around him.

Even when he needs to go back to work, he asks you if you're more comfortable to come with him to work and he can set up a place where you can relax and do whatever you wish. Or if you'd rather be at home. If you choose to just stay at home, he'll order some guards to ensure your safety and if Yanqing has gained your trust in this time. He'll ask the young boy to be your babysitter even if your age difference isn't that large.

Overall, Jing Yuan is definitely surprised to find out he has a child but that surprise turns into unhappiness when he finds out how you've been treated. He ensures your mother gets put in jail for her negligence then takes you in. He doesn't force you at all to trust him, he slowly earns it and whether or not you do end up trusting him eventually. He doesn't mind either outcome.

Because in the end, he doesn't care if you actually trust him or not. What he cares about is if you're healthy and happy. That's his main priority at this moment and time.

If/When you are finally ready, he's there with open arms. Happy to have you see him as a father figure and happy he can heal whatever damage his ex partner ever did to you.

He's happy because you're happy.

I started basing this slightly off a book I read for school as I thought it fitted haha. I'm unsure what to think of this but hopefully it's okay...

Aventurine, Dr Ratio, Jing Yuan, Blade when you bring home/adopt a puppy

Warning/s: None

Notes: i'm a dog person so🧍

aventurine already has three cat cake critters and he loves them, but when you bring home a puppy, asking him with pleading eyes if you could keep it (he swore the pup was also giving him puppy eyes), he couldn't say no.

he'd be so enthusiastic with pets, like he'd buy matching accessories for the critters and your puppy. he wouldn't hold back in buying essentials like the best food and most comfortable beds

aventurine is the type that would send you numerous pictures of your pets, especially when he catches them sleeping in the cutest positions or doing the silliest things

he'd be worried at first if the critters would adapt well with the addition of the puppy, so imagine how happy he is when he sees them all buddy buddy

he bought them their own beds and all, but he'd still allow them to sleep on your shared bed with the both of you. you once had to hold yourself back from laughing when he pouted at you, your puppy sleeping between you two which didn't let him cuddle with you. he ended up cuddling with the puppy anyway

whenever none of you could stay at home due to work, he'd hire only the best pet sitters in town to take care of his babies and he'd ask for updates almost every hour

ratio, straight up, the ‘keep that dog away from me’ but is so close with the dog after a few weeks type

like, when you first brought the dog home, you had to convince him that you should keep it and that you could take good care of it, promising that it wouldn't get in the way of his work

he's reluctant, even nagging you that you'd have to be extra responsible with the animal, but agreeing nonetheless

you didn't know how it happened, but it just did, ratio’s now closer to your dog than you were for some reason. it'd sleep by his feet whenever he was in his home office reading or grading his student’s papers, which was news because he initially forbid the dog to go anywhere near his office

for someone who claimed to not want the dog, he's quite hands on with taking care of it. he'd make a schedule for when it should eat, sleep, and play even though it wouldn't be followed most of the time

he'd also discuss with you about which food is best for the new member of the family like it was some sort of research paper, he'll make sure that the dog will have a good and balanced diet and that it stays healthy

he’d be the type to keep a close eye on his dog when he takes it to a pet salon, making sure the staff doesn't hurt it or make it uncomfortable

jing yuan isn't opposed to having pets, he's got mimi. plus how could he resist the whines and coos from the puppy you held?

he'd introduce your puppy to mimi ever so gently, making sure they got along so you'd have no problem with the two coexisting in the same house

puppies are more often hyper than cats, but it must be jing yuan's influence rubbing on them, because him, the puppy, and mimi could often be seen napping together

like, it'd be so cute to see jing yuan sleeping with a soft smile, leaning back on the white lion and holding the puppy to his chest like it was his child. you have several pictures of them three just sleeping in your phone

yanqing loved to play with the puppy too. whenever the boy’s practice was over, he'd play with it, running around the general’s backyard with the puppy in tow as he led it like a general leading his soldiers to battle

whenever you’re both busy, he'd volunteer to take the puppy to his office so it'd be a common sight to see the general briefing some of the cloud knights while a puppy playfully bit and tugged at his coat

blade would appear nonchalant when you first proposed to adopt a puppy, telling you to do whatever you want

at first, he'd steer clear of the puppy when it first arrived in the house, but as the days passed, the puppy would linger around him. he'd gently nudge it away from him, telling it to run along but the puppy would only wag its tail and bark happily up at him

the little dog would follow him around the house, and he'd stare at it for a while, then go back to whatever he's doing. the day he finally crouched down and gave the puppy a pat on the head was the day he knew he couldn't keep ignoring the fluffy animal any longer

he's so chill with the dog, watching it silently as it tries to pull the toy from his hand in a game of tug of war, rubbing its belly and feeding it treats behind your back when you tell him it's had enough for the day

when he's out on a mission, he'd subtly ask about the puppy and what it's up to, ignoring the snicker he received from silver wolf at the way he intently and fondly watched the video you sent him of his puppy

he's so chill with his dog but the moment someone tries to hurt or look at it badly, he'd give them a deadly glare to make them back off

there was a time when he sat on the couch, muddled thoughts of the past making its way back into his mind. he didn't want it to cloud his mind, to make the mara resurface yet again especially when he's in your shared home and he could hurt you and the puppy

but those thoughts were cut off when he heard a whine. looking down, the puppy sat next to him, placing its muzzle on top of his thigh as it looked up at him as if worried. it was as if it could understand what he was feeling and it wanted to comfort him. if you saw him embracing the dog, you didn't speak about it

child! reader w/blade, yanqing, natasha, & gepard

summary; thoughts being thunk about cute scenarios with child! reader

genre/extra tags; fluff, blade is probably ooc, don't give blade a child, yanqing being a big brother, yanqing and reader gang up on jingyuan, natasha my beloved, gepard big brother arc, but gepard is an awkward big brother, whoops my hand slipped now there's angst (natasha's part), blade wants to punt a kid (/hj)

[gender neutral! reader] [child 7-9! reader] [platonic]

[warnings; implied for reader to be heavily sick often (natasha)]

a/n; *smacks my head* this baby holds loads of child!reader ideas, thanks to their family being the way their family is. good ol' trauma. you didn't pick any characters in particular other than just non-express crew characters. hope you enjoy

it's a fucking miracle that you're even standing next to this man. kafka just had to give you to him. luckily, blade is less violent than he looks. and luckily for you, you hold no fear.

"you look ugly like that." you point at him, your tiny finger inching a little too close to his eye. "why do you look like that?" kafka stifles a laugh as she watches from afar.

"i can't believe i want to punt a child." he mutters. "i don't know, why do you look like that?" he retaliates.

"look like what? ms. kafka says i'm cute!" your hand goes limp to rest on your lap.

"you are anything but cute, you devil spawn."

you gasped, "ms. kafka! blade is being mean!" you get up to run to the woman, who is laughing silently. "he called me a devil spawn... whatever that means!"

"it means you're tiny. and stupid." blade says, watching as you hide behind kafka's leg.

"no, you're stupid!" you stick your tongue out at him.

"you little sh-"

"curse jar!"

"yannie!" you cheered loudly.

"y/n!" he cheers back. you run to him as he picks you up. "do you want to walk around today?" you nodded. "let's go get some allowance from the general first!"

"jing!" you and yanqing arrive at the general's office.

"if it isn't our little cloud knight." jingyuan watches as the young blonde puts you down to go run at him. "i could only wonder what you are doing here with yanqing."

"i wan' to explore with yanqing!" you climb up jingyuan's legs as he watches with a fond gaze.

"is that so?"

you nodded, "but me 'n yan need help." jingyuan looks at you confused before turning to look at yanqing.

"we need some money, general..." jingyuan raises an eyebrow, glancing at you who shows him puppy eyes. and then yanqing tries to play off his ask with an innocent grin.

jingyuan can't help but sigh, "for a lieutenant and a little cloud knight, you two sure are sly." he smiles gently.

"you think we can annoy serval?" an impish grin starts to grow on your face.

"we really shouldn't do that." gepard chides you. you groan.

"but i'm so bored! she's got cool ga- gad-gets."

"gadgets."

"yeah! i wanna see them! i wanna watch serval work!"

"she's probably busy, y/n." you huffed as you struggled in gepard's arms, "stop it!"

"what can we do then?" you pouted. "what do you wanna do?"

awkward silence...

"my idea is better! let's go see big sis!" you tug on his clothes as if it would anything to make him move faster.

"how about we make something for serval? wouldn't that be fun?"

"hm? making something like a gad-gets?"

"gadget. yeah, maybe something like that. or we can draw something for her, and she can put it up somewhere."

"yeah, let's do that!" you cheered, walking alongside gepard and putting your hand in his.

it's no doubt that your parents would leave you in the care of the nicer-est nurse in town (your words, not hers). even if you were a not so amazing state, you can't help but still be happy.

"i think you're a superhero, ms. natasha. i wanna make a story about you!" you've always been a creative soul, it was one of the few things you can do with being bedridden for days on end. writing was a favorite. but you really liked making comics.

"i'm just doing my job, dear. i think you should make a story about yourself." natasha speaks with fondness as she distracts you from getting a shot. "you're just as strong as a hero." her voice is bittersweet but you don't notice it.

"how about i make a story about us? we can be the best-est heroes in the world!" you beamed at your own genius suggestion. "i can be your sidekick!"

"i would love to see that story someday." she smiles. "i know it will be amazing as always." she places a band aid where your shot was taken. her thumb brushes over it once, then again. "i'll even put it up by your bed. framed and everything."

she just hopes you live to see another day.

[deathbxnny]

I'm in an angst mood so I'd like to request Jing Yuan x Reader where Reader belongs to a family that supposedly "betrayed" by the Xianzhou for reasons, leading to Jing Yuan executing Reader personally.

But it was soon revealed that these "reasons" were actually fake and Reader's Family and them are very much innocent victims, now all The General has that belonged to them was his broken heart and the red ribbon on his hair </3

[...I'm still obsessed with YQ's Mom!Reader too so what if Yanqing was also their son that Reader hid away for good and Jing Yuan finding out </3]

-----♡

A/N: This is honestly so sad, that it's great. Thank you for the request, Anon!

Content: Mentions of death/Reader being dead, angst, heartbreak, bitter sweet ending?, Yanqing was readers son, Dad Jing Yuan, just pain

Reader has no set pronouns, but is Yanqing's Mother!

((Not fully proofread))

-----♡

Jing Yuan was heartbroken beyond belief. For once in his long life, he felt like truly ending it all. There was no point without you in it. In the end, he had no real choice in your execution. And what's worse, was the fact that you still were kind to him, until you took your last breath. It destroyed him in ways nothing else could.

And just as he was truly about to give up, it was revealed that he had a son. A son you hid from him out of fear. If Jing Yuan wasn't heartbroken by now, then he was certainly soulless at this point too. The fact, that the betrayal wasn't even true and you were all innocent hurt enough already. But the realisation that he had a son now, made things even worse.

Yet somehow, he found the strength to slowly come back from the pain. If not for himself, then for Yanqing. Jing Yuan never revealed to the boy however, who he really was to him. And most importantly, who you were. He didn't do this for any malicious reasons, no, in fact it was to protect the boys innocence. But also, because Jing Yuan didn't feel worthy to be his son's father, even if he still stayed in his life despite everything.

He always wore your red ribbon in his hair too. It was his way of punishing himself in a way. Everytime he even as much as glanced at himself, he'd be reminded of you and what he had done. He deserved it, truly. Yet every year on your birthday, he'd still take the day off to spend it with Yanqing and spoil the boy.

Ofcourse, as he grew older, Yanqing began asking questions and becoming suspicious of the answers he received. Jing Yuan knew, that one day he'd have to tell him the truth. And it secretly scared him deep down to do so. He didn't want to lose his son too. But then again, he figured he'd deserve it, right?

For now however, he'll say nothing and just enjoy whatever time he had left with his son, before the truth inevitably came out. He didn't believe, that he deserved forgiveness. But he still hoped you could see them, whenever he spent time with Yanqing and be happy about it.

And if he ever meets you once more in another life, he'll make sure to never lose you again.

A/N: Damn this hurt to write lmao, but anyhow, I hope you liked this and thank you again for the request!<33

Hey.. Can I ask for a hearcannon of Platonic yandere yanqing and Jing Yuan adopting a child reader of a sanctus medicus (Yaoshi Followere). The child reader is friends of Yanqing but betrays him to join sanctus medicus. It would devastate Yanqing and he would definitely hunt the reader down to capture them

Poor Yanqing😭 well I hope you'll enjoy

Trigger Warning: Yandere, Obsessive behaviour, Possessive behaviour, Murder, Isolation

Yanqing can't comprehend it, you must have been brainwashed by them or something, maybe they're threatening you, because you would never leave him without such a reason, right?

Meanwhile Jing Yuan knows why you left, an orphaned child afraid of death that joined sanctus medicus when they offered immortality. But it would not matter, he wanted you as his child, you made Yanqing happy. And he can admit that he himself is happy at the thought of being your dad.

But now you betrayed Yanqing's trust and left for sanctus medicus and Jing Yuan is sitting with his adoption papers alone. He was looking forwars to raising you, making sure that you're the most spoilt child in the Xianzhou Luofo, no the entire universe.

Yanqing is the first to take action, ready to hunt down every last sanctus medicus member to get you back, he would ignore any order Jing Yuan gave him to return, but those orders never came, Jing Yuan supported the decision to get HIS child back.

It ended after hundreds of deaths when Yanqing finally sees you again, you try to run away but he is faster and captures you, he is so happy to see you again, and it would seem sweet if it wasn't for the blood covering him. He returns you to Jing Yuan so you can finally be a family.

You are never let outside again, why would Jing Yuan let you. You want a friend, you have Yanqing. You want to go get something, he can bring it for you. You were truly the most spoilt child in the universe, there was just one thing you could not gain, freedom.

Was this good? Never tried platonic Jing Yuan before...

As always will feedback be appreciated.

hello! (f25+, please be 23+ minimum)

looking to write yanqing from honkai star rail against jing yuan. i adore them both as familial OR romantic!! so please keep that in mind!! i'm open to canon / canon divergent or aus and i have a couple ideas in mind that i'd be happy to throw around! i very much enjoy talking ooc from anything relating to the rp, the game, or outside of that too!

i gear towards multi-para, third person responses and exclusively write on discord using dedicated servers! i typically just ask that we meet each other in the middle on substance and length of responses. i don't expect rapid fire responses or anything like that! just communication in and out of the rp itself!

i have very few triggers and i'm absolutely up for nsfw or nsfw topics. i'm also happy to write other characters if the plot calls for it and ask that you'd be open to it too if it helps progress things! if you're interested, please just like or respond to this post, and i'll reach out here via tumblr IMs :)

OHHHH THESE TWO, GODDDD, i love them. i love them so much. I love how they end up being a mirror with each other (with nikita being considered a "god" as he grew up and Anya being considered a monster) but how both of these views on them from a young age made them have kinda of the same trauma and problems with not knowing who they actually are, and how this made them so close to one another.

Also idk the idea of Anya being the normal one despite it all is very funny to me, points for them being platonic soulmates

[topaz-witch-tea]

Ok now I need to know after reading Yanqing’s first word, what was everyone’s reaction when he started calling them Ba, Baba, A-die and auntie? And Mimi of course

Yingxing- When Yingxing got called Baba, it was when Yanqing wanted didn't want him to go to work. Yingxing had put on his coat and getting his phone when Yanqing reached out his arms and said "Baba" with teary eyes. Yingxing was silent, unsure how to process what happened. "Baba!" Yanqing said again. Yingxing did not say anything in response, instead picked up Yanqing and clung to him. He was also an hour late to work and there was a rumor amongst the household staff that he had cried.

Dan Feng- He absolutely cried when Yanqing called him "Ba!" They were strolling through the garden at the Alchemy Commission. Yanqing loved the water and the cool air despite the fact his father was more concerned with keeping him warm. Yanqing had patted his father's face and horns and shouted out "Ba!" Dan Feng went on to brag to everyone at the Commission about his son's accomplishments.

Jingliu and Baiheng- While Jingliu did not care much for what Yanqing called her, knowing it would be "Master" once Yanqing was older enough to pick up a sword, Baiheng cared a lot. "Say Auntie! A-un-ti!" Baiheng put a lot of work in after the "Cat" incident. That work did pay off a month latter when Yanqing, with his big eyes and chubby cheeks, "Ah-Ti" to Jingliu when asking to be picked up. Jingliu, of course, did not say or show any emotions but Baiheng could tell she was happy. Baiheng, on the other hand, was ecstatic that her plan finally worked and sent the video to the group chat.

Jing Yuan- Jing Yuan was called "cat" for the longest time. This was likely due to his hair looking like Mimi's fur. However, one day when Yanqing was on his father's lap while the general was looking at reports, he wanted to show his father the white lion plushie. It had came with no warning, just "A-Die!" Jing Yuan had paused and looked down, his eyes resembling an owl. All it took was another "A-Die!", a wave of the plushie, and a gummy smile to get Jing Yuan to abandon his work for the day.

Mimi- Mimi was called "Cat" for the longest time but she didn't care. She didn't need to be called over by Yanqing, she came over when she wanted to which was all the time. It wasn't until Yanqing was over a year old that he finally started calling Mimi by her name after hearing people say it for so long. Mimi continued to not care and still did as she pleased.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ASK!!!! :)

[draconicfool]

anonymous asked: "I was so early, mama. I don't know why gege thinks that's a good time to train," he complains, but there's no actual heat in it, plus he can nap as much as he likes as long as he does his chores. The boy gives his mother a hug, wrapping his little arms around her and sleepily rubs his cheek against the fabric of her clothes, like a kitten showing affection. "Baba said so too, but I like being with Yanqing-gege." Like his father, his older brother was a busy person, especially with his latest promotion. "Baba said soon gege can take his place at work!" The boy was sad and happy about that. More baba, less gege. Good and bad. "I know! And you promise I can get some tanghulu!" he replies, looking up with the brightest smile there is, showing off unusually sharp teeth. "Gege went to the Master Diviner! I know because he rolled is eyes and said I can't tell anyone he did! Opps!" The boy giggles, not looking particularly guilty at all.

"We take th' good with th' bad, I s'ppose." He chuckles, wrapping around the smaller boy and resting his cheek atop the other's head. They really are just a family of cats aren't they? All nuzzling and nestling for affection and napping in such odd places. Well- that last one could exclude Yanqing. "I remember back b'fore we had ya, when y'er gege was much less busy, we'd go through trainin' too, though not nearly as early since I couldn't be here as often. It was a nice way t' bond with him." Ah, that had been discussed hadn't it? Nearly time for the Arbiter-General to step down and enjoy old age with his little wife and their son. And for Yanqing to be a much busier man. It was so odd thinking it had been long enough they'd been together for this time to finally come.

"I did now, didn't I~? Anythin' f'er ya, sweet boy." He laughs softly, looking down if only to examine those teeth. Make sure that they're not at risk of falling out just yet the way his do far too often. "Did he now? Well...s'ppose we should go find him first, huh?"

hi em!!!! happy halloween <3 i think i talked about this on twitter and i a) don't remember what snippet i posted and b) will probably never actually finish it but please enjoy a snippet of the grief yanqing from literally two years ago

That night Yanli wakes to the brush of Wen Qing's breath, fluttering, over her eyelids. Neither of them have good sleeping posture, and in their sleep they have curled towards each other like two halves of an orange.

The air is dark and heavy on her skin as she slips from under the covers, careful not to disturb Wen Qing. Outside, the waves lap quietly at the dock as she pads out, barefoot, to dip her feet in the water. The lotuses sway, heavy heads nodding. Soon the seed pods will blacken and be ready to eat. She kicks her feet idly, enjoying the silky feel of the water between her toes, just enough cooler than the air to be refreshing. Jin Zixuan had always hated summers. In Jinlintai they were oppressive, heat trapped against the mountains in a thick wave that blanketed Koi Tower. He was always sweating through his layers, his powder clinging precariously to his face, and wiping his hand on his robes before reaching for hers. It had been endearing, to see him flustered. She had never flustered anyone before.  They had planned to come to Yunmeng for Duanwu, when Jin Ling was old enough to enjoy watching the dragon boats. She had always loved the festival, had looked at the couples with children lining the river and thought, "some day that will be me, holding my child and my husband in my two hands." But she had not managed to hold on tightly enough.  Behind her, Yanli hears the boards creak softly. Wen Qing has woken after all. She sits down next to Yanli, sweeping her robes out as she does so they won't crumple.  "You're going to catch something out here, dipping your feet in the water," she says.  Yanli pulls her feet out and waggles her toes. "That's the goal," she says. "I'm hoping for a carp." Wen Qing smacks her shoulder, laughing. "Awful," she says. They sit like that for a while, listening to the quiet hum of crickets and the rhythmic thud of the boards knocking into each other.  "Do you miss him?" Wen Qing asks, finally. She has tucked her knees under herself as though she were sitting at court instead of on the wooden boards of a dock in the middle of the night.  "Yes," Yanli says. "He was my husband, and I loved him." Wen Qing's jaw tightens, but she doesn't frown.

Yanli twists her hands together. "We had a life together," she continues. "I won't pretend it was perfect." Her mouth twists. Koi Tower had felt like balancing on the edge of a knife, every room she entered heavy with secrets. "But he cared for me, and I cared for him." She looks at Wen Qing, at the lean lines of her face in the half-reflected moonlight. "Does that bother you?" "No," Wen Qing says. "Or– yes, but not–" she sighs. "Your husband's family killed the family I gave everything in me to save," she says, bluntly. "I don't think there's a way around that." Jiang Yanli smiles, rueful. "Well," she says. She gestures at Lotus Pier, the boardwalks and bridges, the buildings squat and low over the water, all rebuilt in the last 15 years.  Wen Qing nods her head, acknowledging the hit. She leans over, resting her head on Yanli's shoulder, a steady weight. The fine bones of her face dig in a little at Yanli's collarbone, but Yanli doesn't shift. Wen Qing has never been a comfortable person to care for. She doesn't mind.

[petrichorium]

Pluvi i’d love to hear about readers four other husbands!! Rip yanqing he’s so confused

WELL SINCE U ASKED

husband #1 — the guard in the drabble! as I said in the tags he’s reader’s childhood friend. Swore himself to her Long before they got married lmfaooooo and part of that oath actually means that he can’t talk to anyone except her and her husbands 🫣 He’s the most physically intimidating of all the husbands, genuinely massive man lmfaooooo but honestly fairly reserved, frankly shy but it comes across as stoic more than anything. Wicked smart and very devoted to reader (obvi) so he’s def kinda her main confidant but she’s v close w all of them

husband #2 — was a political marriage!!! Offered himself in exchange for the continued support of reader’s people. She accepted and they genuinely intended for it to be platonic but he ends up falling for her eventually. He’s actually kinda nerdy LMFAOOOO a historian turned military strategist on his homeworld, now retired from said military and working part-time as a professor at a university on reader’s planet

husband #3 — an admiral; old military family type, kinda a stick in the mud. But he was actually very persistent in pursuing the reader and won her over eventually even tho they rlly butted heads at first (came from a v patriarchal homeworld so it was inevitable tbh). Was kinda arrogant and assumed she was into him and then realized he was kinda into the dismissive thing…….. this one was a VERY slow burn she left and came back to his planet many times before he finally literally begged her to give him the time of day

husband #4 — the problem child…… a rebellion leader on his homeworld who did NOT get along with reader or her three husbands when they first met despite the fact that they were allies. And then all four of them got stuck on a remote moon for a year annnnnnnd the rest is history. Definitely a spitfire, v much a street dog type of guy, and very charismatic. The only one who had a partner before reader; another rebel who died in the battle before reader showed up. He’s still a little hung up on it but happy to have something to dedicate himself to that doesn’t make him think of them

All of them rlly like Jing Yuan LMFAOOOOO and as I say in the tags she’s only married to #1 when she meets him so she marries the other three during this “once every few years I make a trip to the luofu and try to convince the general to marry me” stage pfft. But he actually met #1 before her!!! Jy saved him from an enemy camp and he’s been a lil infatuated ever since 🫣 reader thinks it’s the cutest thing. Jy is also the first person she introduces a new husband to which he always says isn’t necessary but she’s just like :) I mean I gotta make sure ur compatible :) like introducing a new cat yk JDNDKDN

While their home is on her planet w her they’re often offworld doing their own thing!!! #2 is usually off on his own on mostly educational trips, #3 and #4 bicker a lot bc of personality differences (and the difference in their upbringing—they’re from different worlds but remind each other of respective opposing bodies) but honestly spend much of their time together. They’re kinda traveling adventurers and tbh I imagine Jing Yuan just kinda slotting in with them mostly bc he says in canon that when he retires he’d like to travel around 🥺 but also playing diplomat w reader a lot bc they r v much two of a kind jdnfkenr #1 is always with her bc of his position but they all travel together a lot too esp when it’s beneficial politically to portray themselves as a solidified unit

Anyway there u go ty for asking 😌

@bishonenprince asked, "2. How did you get into this franchise/fandom?

11. Are there some things you dislike about how the show/series/etc. portray the character you have picked up? If so, what? - ( Aventurine )

How did you get into this franchise/fandom?

Already answered here!

Are there some things you dislike about how the show/series/etc. portray the character you have picked up? If so, what? - ( Aventurine )

//At the expense of sounding like someone that really loves angst to much I do honestly think that they should have put more emphasis on Aventurine's gambling addiction or at least made it clear that this man is addicted to gambling.

And no I don't mean they glamorize it or romanticize it, but it feels like saying 'oh well he is just really lucky' and 'is a paranoid lunatic that plans for everything' is covering up 'oh well he has a gambling addiction and somehow hasn't managed to fuck up badly enough to realize how big his problem is' (which is really saying something) and to avoid blatant spoilers I will say that I personally feel that he is one of those addicts that won't stop until it kills him.

This is just my opinion and I'm sure it will eventually somehow blow up on a much grander scale eventually but it is kind of part of the reason I like the idea of writing my Aven as joining the Family after failing his mission because I want to write the idea he gambled hard and it finally blew up in his face and because honestly if he did succeed how would he feasibly top this? Like this would probably be his magnum opus. Like how would you top this?

Are there any ships you can’t stand, why?

//I like to generally think I am pretty chill when it comes to ships. I have the usual icks but I don't honestly see most ships between consenting adult muses as problematic or wrong or something worth hating UNLESS it is romanticizing abuse, stalking or anything sick like that.

That said one ship I absolutely despise that I keep seeing on A03 is fucking Jing Yuan/Yanqing and Sunday/Robin and I'm just like 'what the absolute fuck is wrong with you, you sorry sick fucks?' I have yet to not see it on tumblr because I'm pretty sure they would probably get scorned by the general fandom on tumblr (or at least they do in the corner I exist in) but for fuck's sake why does anyone think that is okay?

But also I won't say I can't stand it but I am probably 1 of the 3 people that doesn't like Robin/Boothill. Like it seems fun but... I just don't see it. The fanart looks great and I'm happy for ya'll and all the fucking memes people are coming up with is fucking gold but it isn't a ship I'd write seeing as I write Robin as a lesbian and that isn't a flexible thing for me.

But I can't talk to much shit about Robin/Boothill because I ship Wriothesley/Jean.

All I Want Is To Get This Right

" oh boy! what a happy landing!" was the first thing yanqing heard upon his eyesight returning as he held his sword in hand. there was no visible sign of danger yet at it could still be lurking in every corner of this alleyway. you could the hear the yawn of the bellboy followed by him stretching out before noticing the distress that being pulled deeper into the dream had caused yanqing and was quick to walk over to him, ignoring the blade as he somehow knew that the lieutenant wouldn't hurt him nor did the bellboy fear death. one couldn't really die in a dream anyway.

" it's alright. the coast is clear now." misha spoke in attempt to assure yanqing that they were safe, placing a white gloved hand on the area where the taller boy had just been stabbed in the back to showcase that no actual physical harm came to him while those yellow ember eyes only looked misha for only sign of injury. there were none.

with the hand on back, yanqing eased down and soon carefully scathed his sword. even if it would be just a mental cut, he wouldn't want to hurt misha intentionally or not. the two boys just stood there, locking eyes while white gloved hand gently stroked up and down the warrior's back until misha knew the taller wouldn't suddenly attack someone out of fear or suspicion.

clockie awkwardly stood to the side and watched as this went on. not interfering on this moment between the two boys.

the other white gloved hand of misha's reaching up and taking yanqing's as he moved himself to the other side of the taller boy so they could walk together hand in hand once again while starting to explain to yanqing what just happened.

" you remember that claw stabbing you?" asked misha as the two walked through the alley together towards what appeared to an elevator shift in the distance. walking down freights of stairs then flat ground then stairs then back to flat ground with rows of buildings on each side of them with posters, graffiti and lights while cables of light bulb ran from one building to the other similar to march's fairy lights.

you could see a rushedly drawn image of clockie in white graffiti that was lit up by some light below with an arrow draw in the same graffiti above it's head pointing towards an archway.

" of course. how could I?" yanqing couldn't help but retort in reply as the bellboy just found his remark rather cute and continued on, " well, that was the memory meme everyone's been calling about. sleepie doesn't actually kill anyone though, just carries them here from different dreamscapes and even from one to another- like a ferry! of course there used to be a much easier way but.. the family closed it up."

" they seem to be closing up a lot of things and I remember the handbook states that the hotel in the dream has been going through renovations recently, right? an entire building.. that seems odd, don't you think?"

" oh! we tell guests that so they don't go exploring it. it's not quite up to code just yet. some of the dreamjolt troupe members have.. some issues, let's say. I'm sure you'd do fine in there! I can snuck you in for a sneak peak if you like." breaking the rules wasn't something that misha normally did. the bellboy of the reverie who followed the dream regulations but it wasn't exactly his job to hold up them. he simply had to give a smile and welcome guests into the dream.

with the company of clockie and yanqing, misha wanted to see this new experience would lead him and if that meant getting into some trouble then all the better. the bellboy was ready for an adventure and he could tell that yanqing felt the same. stopping to look up at the massive clockie.. broken down and in need of repair. almost looked forgotten and abandoned. perhaps he was in time-out. how long this time out of his had gone on for is undecided as soon misha led yanqing over towards an old elevator that looked almost like a cage that opens up for them upon taking a step near it and waiting for them to get in." this will take us up to timesplit square and then I can show you the plaza- it has the best view!"

" is this place.. dreamflux reef? where you said that you lived." yanqing spoke as he had taken his first step into the elevator with misha leading the way excited to show him around." hmhm! home sweet home! and now that you have time to 'kill' since people think you're dead, I can show you around. ooohh! and it gets even better!" the elevator closed up once more before eventually starting to move upwards with clockie tagging along.

misha looked at yanqing with pure excitement and enthusiasm that our beloved excitable lion couldn't help but match it. two boys full of energy and ready to go as they held hands. not even that small room could contain all this excitement. yanqing gave up a bright smile, nodding as an indication to keep going. " I just got a three day vacation! so out of the blue! I was thinking about seeing one of the other planets on one of those days. I texted stelle and she recommended this one called jarilo-vi- it’s all frozen over. said I should take photos and sent me a photo of the place. here, look!” misha rambled on while yanqing cling to every single word before the bellboy pulled out his phone and showed the photo stelle had sent him.

yanqing looked at the photo, already knowing what planet he was talking about before looking back up to see if he had more to say but when he didn’t, the lieutenant decided to speak with just as much enthusiasm and excitement. “ oh my gosh! that’s the planet my māmā lives on!” with a point to the image as yanqing paid no mind to the affectionate term that came out of his mouth while misha looked at the other like he was the most precious thing in the world. “ really?? how cool! I can meet your mom! uhh.. umm.. because I will be there.. and she will be there.” he started with a blurt out of words so excitedly before realizing the implication of what he had just said and tried to correct it. he wasn’t going to go look for this mystery woman/man/person but if he happened to run into her during his vacation- all the better, right?

it became awkwardly silent for a few seconds until the doors opened up though neither let go of the other’s hand even after stepping out of the elevator with misha still leading the way while clockie followed along, telling them to wait up for him because he had such tiny legs. his yellow ember eyes looked up at the floating building in the sky had a ray of light beaming from it that resembled a snowflake or star. it was eerily beautiful and alluring but - at least in yanqing’s eyes - it didn’t come close to how beautiful and alluring misha was. he had almost thought that he had died at first and part of him still did because there stood an angel in a bellhop’s uniform. when misha stood in a certain way with his head blocking the floating building with the continuing rays of light that surrounded, it made him look even more like divinity.

misha took yanqing on a tour through his home, showcasing all the best parts and places to hang out. yanqing would have to stay in dreamflux reef for awhile afterwards though, staying put until the general finally catches up and finds him here. it wasn’t all that fun to stay in one location for so long and even hanging out with misha started to grow tiring but he kept up the smile if only to see the bellboy so happy and keep his mind at ease. it would seem that arlan had tagged along on misha and yanqing’s escape ride on the ‘ferry’ but was able to go back and forth because nobody actually saw the security guard get ‘stabbed’ by sleepie.

it felt like several centuries went by until eventually the unexpected came when misha returned from his three day vacation looking upset and it would appear to have been directed at yanqing. the bellboy wouldn’t yell or scream at first as the lieutenant tried to find a way to calm him down but misha did snap as the two were hanging out together in the shorter boy’s house located in slumbertown. “ stop lying to me! and don’t even try to avoid it, I know you’ve been lying. why haven’t you woken up yet? it can’t just be because of me.” a straightforward and direct approach. something that yanqing uncharacteristically had been avoiding in fear of worrying or upsetting misha but his lies seemed to just upset the bellboy even more as it only made it appear as though yanqing was pushing away- and perhaps in a way yanqing was. this was new territory for yanqing but it didn’t seem to be that way for misha.

it came as a shock to the system when yanqing heard misha yell at him but he also knew that he had it coming. it was very well deserved after all the lying. if one were to take anything away from this situation, it would be to never listen to the advice of a gambling addicted loser like aventurine. always listen to your gay parents and never piss off misha who currently looked ready to beat yanqing up with just his mop and a bucket of memoria. maybe that would clean up yanqing’s act. “ okay, okay. I will explain.” he started up as the two of them stood in the living room. yanqing kept a table in between them for the moment as it looked like a fight was going to happen- be it with classic cartoony violence or with words. “you know that I was looking into the watchmaker’s legacy, right? well.. I was given some advice and intel from the ipc’s aventurine. he told me not to trust anyone and to keep my cards close to my chest.” yanqing would feel the soaked brushes of a mop hit him on the head as a signal from misha to quit talking like the gambler and get to his point already. it was warranted and deserved, “ I was.. kinda doing that. you, my dear bellboy, are definitely an important ‘card’ but that’s not why I’m still here. you said it before.. people think I’m dead right now and that includes my dad. he will come looking for me and staying here will make things easier for him.”

misha listened and took in the words, knowing them to be true before his mop vanished from his hands and he gave a nod in reply causing yanqing to let out a sigh of relief as he had been spared by the aeons. “ okay. that makes sense.” he stated as the two boys soon moved to sit together on the coach with hands slightly touching while the bellboy still appeared a little bit upset. “ you know.. I really was thinking that I had somehow done something wrong. you don’t lie. you could have just told me you were waiting for your dad, I would have understood.” the two boys sitting down and having a real conversation with each other. the air had been so tense but slowly it was starting to become less so until misha was laying his head on yanqing’s shoulder again.

“ no, it’s not you.” yanqing shook his head in reply before laying it atop of the other’s, “ I’ve just never been in this.. situation before. liking someone as much as I like you and I really like you. I just.. don't want to mess this up somehow. considering I've been on a losing streak recently."

" I just.. I just want this to last, that's all." misha curled himself up beside the other. a love that lasts. was that too much to ask? his grandfather left him here alone so many years ago. pulled away from him and didn't talk to him. yanqing hadn't been talking to misha and therefore misha thought he was planning on leaving him too. he knew that yanqing never promised to stay here forever and misha wouldn't ask that of him but the bellboy only really ever had himself at the end of it all.

it was just nice to finally have someone to come home to and would welcome him with such warmth and love. misha knew that yanqing would have to go back to the luofu but a part of him didn't want to ever let yanqing go now that he was holding him so close. he knew it was selfish. " I can't stay here forever, misha." yanqing pointed out only for the bellboy to cuddle up into him even more, " I know. can-can I just have this moment?"

" of course."

yanqing would wake up, cuddled up and laid out on the couch with misha. who knew a person could fall asleep in a dream, am I right? but that’s what had happened to yanqing as he currently didn’t feel like moving as he looked at misha and soon saw that the other boy was awake too. it had been a good four or so days of knowing each other that felt like so much longer but yanqing didn’t really know how to define this relationship. were they dating now or was it too early to decide on that? perhaps they needed more time. " .. what time is it?" he whispered to himself, pulling up his phone and checking the digital clock on there, " we slept for.. eight system hours. so, I've been here for a hundred and four system hours." he noted more to himself than to misha.

" hmm.. you arrived at the reverie a good forty-eight system hours before that. so I would say in total you have been on penacony for a hundred and fifty-six system hours." misha sleepily added in.

" and I spent the most of that hundred and fifty-six hours.." the boy sat up and stretched out, " with you!" before looking down and seeing that sweet adorable face of misha's looking back up at him. misha couldn't help but smile in response, feeling so special yet at the same time feeling like he might have wasted the lieutenant's time. misha and yanqing silently agreed to not talk about the future right now- as both preferred to simply live in the moment and take things one day at a time or rather one system hour at a time.

they did however agree to never lie to each other but that pact of no lying would soon imply to arlan when the two headed out into town to spend some time together before misha had to head to work. seeing who had landed in was the most fun part of any day spent in dreamflux reef. robin had already been there by the time yanqing arrived and was waiting for her brother to show up. in the meantime she taught the local orphans how to sing while yanqing opted to teach them another way to 'sing' via self defense techniques. they'll thank him when they're older.

yanqing didn't see any sign of the astral express crew yet. perhaps they were running a little late and needed to catch up with everyone. after listening to all the different people's thoughts and gathering intel on the family, yanqing had been proven correct about his early suspicions. there was no way everybody in a family could get along so easily or rather as often as the family implied. there was bound to be internal fighting and arguments but it would seem that the watchmaker had been the black sheep of the family so to say.

the legacy of the watchmaker couldn't really remain such a mystery for long when you're dating the grandson of the previous watchmaker. those stones with names on them? apparently they are what the short-lifers would call tombstones. yanqing had only learned this tidbit of information from arlan and misha when they met up in timesplit square.

" you.. keep the dead bodies on broad? that's a definite bacteria issue you have on your hands. not to mention, a heliobus could possess that thing." noted yanqing after arlan explained the concept to him.

" of course not but we have all sorts on the herta space station. while how they say goodbye to their loved ones is entirely up to them, we definitely don't keep rotting corpses just laying around." answered arlan, " besides, heliobi are only native to your flagships in particular."

" the xianzhou alliance does a voyage type of thing, right? kinda similar to vikings. you put the body inside a starkiff with all the things that person liked and send it off into space." misha mentioned.

" usually yeah but last time we couldn't find the body, so all we could do was put the things she liked as well as certain gifts people never got to give her." stated yanqing.

the topic of death was quite heavy, especially after the misunderstanding of sleepie. memory memes weren't viewed as monsters here in dreamflux reef. it was quite similar to how jing yuan and yanqing viewed mimi. a creature most would view as dangerous and needing to be locked up or shot but with enough training and love, a lion or a memory meme or even a dreamjolt troupe member could make for a good companion. " soo.. anyway! we should talk about something else. misha and I-" yanqing started in attempt to change the topic but then was interrupted by arlan, " are dating? yeah. I got that."

" p-please don't interrupt like that! I think he was talking about something else." spoke misha who didn't look embarrassed by the notion at all, only his usual shy nature poking through. arlan looked between the two of them in utter silence, waiting for one or the other to say something. yanqing and misha looked to each other as if they were talking telepathically but really just were reading each other's expressions and body language.

" right. we talked. you are our son now- wait, no, that wasn't it either. what I was trying to say earlier was that misha and I were talking. about lies and the hunt for the watchmaker's legacy. I don't think any of us three really consider it a mystery at this point but we think we should be more open about our discoveries. be honest." yanqing explained to arlan.

" yeah. and what I discovered is that you two are clearly head over heels for each other. that ain't a mystery." replied arlan, " also you can't adopt me without the proper paperwork first."

" the real watchmaker's legacy was the friends we made along the way." mused misha, " .. and illegal adoption."

" must you really encourage him, misha?" asked arlan a little irritated.

" yes. is that not what a boyfriend does?" misha curiously asked in turn.

yanqing checked his phone while misha and arlan had their little banter. the three were almost like a close knitted family now. " oh.. half a system hour before you have to clock in." he reminded misha, expecting only a nod or a 'thank you, yanqing' but instead received a kiss on the cheek from the bellhop as thanks. yep. they were dating now.

" ack! get a room, you two." came arlan's complaint as he had to endure this lovey-dovey attitude between the two boys and would have to continue enduring it until after the charmony festival was over. misha soon started to head off to catch his ride to work or perhaps find his own way there but either way yanqing was left with a dorky smile on his face and cartoon-y hearts floating around him. soon shaking his head and looking over to arlan, " uhh.. anyway! what do you think? should I introduce misha to my dad or is it too early for that?"

Jing Yuan was unbelievably happy to hear that you were pregnant with his child. It was like a dream come true and he was so excited to have a new addition in the family soon. He spoiled you with gifts and affection, before practically announcing it proudly to everyone that could listen. Soon enough all generals and important people of the Xianzhou alliance were informed and happy to hear the good news.

But that left you with only Yanqing to tell, who until then, was blissfully unaware of the approaching doom that was Jing Yuan, who had agreed to tell him about the news himself. You were too worried of what his reaction would be, as you didn't want him to think that you were replacing him. And so, your dear, perfect husband took it upon himself to tell him, since no one could do it better than him, the man who raised Yanqing since he was a boy.

Now, if you weren't so happy and swooning over your husband's act of bravery, you would've maybe noticed the evil grin on his lips, as he went on his way to tell the poor unsuspecting boy the great news. Finding Yanqing was relatively easy, as he was calmly resting at a bridge near the training grounds, after a long day of refining his skills.

He greeted Jing Yuan like he usually did, but stopped himself, when he saw that grin. He immideatly knew that whatever came next would be life altering. And so, he slowly turned his head to stare off into the distance, whilst his mentor made himself comfortable next to him. It took Jing Yuan a moment to get to the point, but when he did, the silence that followed was absolutely deafening.

The older man turned his head to the boy, just to receive the biggest side eye in all of history. To say that Yanqing was not amused, would be an understatement. Sure, he was extremely happy and excited to finally have a sibling... but he knew that he'd never find peace again with the older man now. And he certainly didn't want to admit to defeat either.

Yanqing asked him if he was serious and when Jing Yuan confirmed it, the boy simply hummed and took off his swords, before neatly placing them against the bridge. And then, he unceremoniously swung his leg over the railing and attempted to just jump off the bridge out of spite.

First he took away his mother, then his allowance and now he dared to be smug? Yeah, Yanqing will see to it, that he stops playing with him like that. Jing Yuan let out a yell of surprise, as he grabbed onto the boy's collar and stopped him, as he flailed around and tried to escape.

Meanwhile, you happily clasped your hands together and smiled in awe at the sight of them "bonding" over the great news from where you were hiding. It seems like Yanqing can't wait to be a big brother to his new sibling!

A/N: Alright, I hope you don't mind this being very unserious. I just needed a break from the angst, that is going to fill up my inbox soon. Thank you again for the request!<33
