85. "I’m not going to be sympathetic until you go to a doctor.”

tgcf, pm or swd to ling wen

Thank you <33

....I think this should have been a more hurt/comfort prompt, but with only 100 words it just became hurt, I'm sorry ;w;

Pei Ming is back again today with new grumbles and demands. So much to be done, all at once, only by her. These days, Ling Wen can barely lift her head. She can barely hear her retort. “And?” There’s a rare edge in his voice. “I’m not going to be sympathetic until you go to a doctor.” Pei Ming knows how to fight. To take away the firewood she needs to stay warm. Day by day he’ll wear her down, getting more outrageous until she finally caves, willingly or forcefully. Ling Wen knows this. Really. But she hates to lose.

I love lw but i also do think she has trapped herself in a vicious cycle of self sabotage

#tgcf #pei ming #ling wen #fortune's drabbles #the vibe i was going for here is lw is sick and refuses to take care of herself #so pm is going to bully her into it because being nice wasn't working (he tried)#(probably swd will come in to be the sun to pm's north wind later)#i have a lot of thoughts about lw and her role in the heavenly bureaucracy xD #from the moment we meet her we clearly can see she's one of THE most important people in heaven #and the whole thing would fall apart without her #and the whole thing DOES fall apart without her later #and I think this is actually a very genuine shock to her (and only her)#i think LW genuinely doesn't know how invaluable she is because she only ever hears complaints #and i think she does live in the fear that if she shows any cracks someone will quickly rush to fill them in and she won't be needed anymor #(so maybe like jw she has some incentive to maintain a very specific atmosphere in the civil court)#(i like my lw with a dash of both complacency and self sabotage)
