Xianle Quartet game night headcanons

Xie Lian: - he dragged all of them into it so they can 'bond :D' - mediator - makes the teams - explains the rules - loses but is civil about it - happy that they're all together but he falls asleep early, gets dragged into some other room by hua cheng and then the three start the real fun Mu Qing: - came along because 'he didn't have anything else to do' (he missed them) - extremely competitive against everyone - terrible sore loser - will vomit at least once (this is projection by the way) - says he doesn't care if he loses, cries if he does - laughs in triumph every time feng xin gets dealt a shitty hand - tables will be thrown Feng Xin: - not competitive at all but since mu qing and hua cheng are there he's going to give his best - did not pay attention to the rules and someone has to explain it to him 3 times before they begin - shit at card/board games, amazing at sports or twister - curses everyone out - accuses hua cheng of cheating every round - victim of the tables being thrown Hua Cheng: - the luckiest fucker - he wins without even trying and he rubs it in fengqing's faces - gives xie lian his luck under the table and lets him win - laughs his ass off whenever mu qing loses - eradicating every single snack in the house - purposefully loses a single round to give them hope, wipes the floor with them the next one - watches fengqing fight and records them for blackmail - eventually fengqing team up to destroy his ass, they work together for the first time in a decade but he still wins

Hello! I'm so happy I found your blog! I like your story, the way you write it! And it’s so easy for me to imagine my OC with your story, because our OCs are a little similar, only my character is something like a god/demon of death, a little more cold and his pets are snakes))

Sooooo... Sorry for taking a lot of time with my character 😅 the request for headcanons is haulian x reader and how will Xie Lian and Hua Cheng react if the reader feels like the third wheel in their trio and become a little bit distant because want to give them some space? (I have the idea in my head that the reader is basically like your OC, i like him soooooo much)

Sorry if it's not clear, English is not my native language. And if you don't like the idea, just ignore it))

Closing The Distance

Hua Cheng x M!Reader x Xie Liam

I'm so happy you like my writing and I love to hear about your OC so don't worry. I'm happy our OC's are so similar 🥰🖤

I like writing stories with my headcanons soooo bare with me, bear with me???

____________________________________

You've been distant. Well you've never reached out to people before this either, but you're more distant than usual.

Xie Lian and Hua Cheng noticed immediately.

How you start declining things, how you just sit to the side, you don't talk much, You let them sleep alone, eat dinner alone.

You stop being near them. The kisses you give dwindle down to nothing and the words "I love you" have been reserved.

They haven't a clue why. Xie Lian and Hua Cheng have tried to think of every reasonable possibility but don't know why

Why would you want to be alone when it's supposed to be the three of you together?

It gets to the point where they have to visit you instead of the other way around. Paradise Manor, and Puqi shrine is all of your homes but you don't show up to either one anymore.

You're hiding away at your own place and they just don't know what to do

It really breaks Xie Lian's heart because you've been by his side all these years why do you want to leave now?

Hua Cheng is equally devastated. He would do anything for you and Xie Lian but you're pulling away.

The two can only think that maybe you just don't love them anymore, maybe you're tired of them?

You would never do that though

Xie Lian doesn't like it and neither does Hua Cheng. They intend to get to the bottom of it because they love you.

They would try to give you space but when it seems to only make it worse they don't stop bothering you

That's what it seems like you need, to be bothered.

Xie Lian keeps asking, and caring for you

Hua Cheng gets insecure. He knows he's good that Xie Lian loves him but do you? You aren't disgusted by him are you? Contrary to popular belief ghost kings get insecure too

************************************

You are pathetic, at least you feel like you are. Hiding away like a bug under a rock. You don't know when it started and you couldn't control it when it got out of hand. It's nothing against Xie Lian and Hua Cheng, you love them dearly. But the problem you have feels like a problem you can't even bring up. You don't want to hurt them.

Would you hurt them more by bringing it up or staying hidden?

So you've been... Lying here. Bed rotting. If you can even call it that. You're actually just lying under a rock. Very literally. You're hanging out in a small cave. It's nothing you aren't used to you used to do it with Xie Lian all the time.

You could've gone to the heavens and hidden up there but you don't have friends. You have Feng Xin, and Mu Qing but you know they would snitch on you if it came to Xie Lian. So here you are under a rock. Overthinking.

You always overthink, it's why you left in the first place. You also felt selfish. It's hard to see Xie Lian and Hua Cheng together. You love them both, honest! But what do they even need you for? They look perfect without you, like they were made to just have each other. You felt like you were getting in the way, or like a third wheel.

You know they love you too but... It feels so difficult to be included. When Hua Cheng first showed up he immediately was able to take Xie Lian's side and help him with missions. Which was fine you guys needed the extra help anyways but then you learned their pasts. They're just so intertwined with each other

Hua Cheng built temples for Xie Lian, released 3,000 lanterns, built statues, fought in war, challenged 33 gods, cut out his eye, and died 3 times for him, and broke his shackles! What could you possibly add to the relationship. No one could care for Xie Lian better than Hua Cheng.

Xie Lian saved Hua Cheng when he was a child, and stayed with Wu Ming. Gave him a coral pearl, and red string. What have you done?

All the heavens talk about is Xie Lian and Hua Cheng. The ghost realm is the same. You were never a prominent figure so people forget you're even there. They don't even know you're their lover too.

So yes it's hard, and maybe it's selfish that you want to feel more included when they already spoil you when anything you could ask for. Which is why you're hiding in a small, dumb cave. You eventually fall asleep to the pitter, patter of rain.

When you wake up you aren't under a rock anymore. You're in bed. In red sheets, in a red room, red, red, red. You're at paradise manor. You wouldn't mind that if you weren't actively avoiding your lovers. You sit straight up in bed and before you can tumble out Xie Lian is at your bedside. He's frowning and has this worried look in his eyes that makes you feel guilty.

"Where have you been, y/n?" You look away and shrug. "In the cave you found me in" your lips wobble a little. You don't know what to say. What excuse could you use this time? You pick at a loose piece of thread on the blanket and notice that Hua Cheng isn't in the room with you two. ". . . Where's San Lang?"

"A-Lang" Xie Lian interrupts you and his hand finds yours "You've always called him A-Lang"

You want to crinkle under his piercing gaze. "Where's A-Lang?" You whisper glancing back at the blanket.

"Standing outside the room. Baobei why have you been avoiding us?" Xie Lian turns your gaze back to him.

"I-I just was dealing with my own issues" Your hands fist in the blankets and your eyes get watery just thinking about how selfish you've been.

Xie Lian's hand caresses your cheek, "Our issues. We can help you if you tell us."

You bite your lips and bring your hand up trying to wipe your tears before they get the chance to stream down your face. "It's selfish" you spit, venom covers your tongue. "It was a pathetic reason, really. I just was overthinking and I felt like. . . A third wheel. It's not a big deal though" You glare at the blanket. Your anger of course isn't directed at them but at yourself. Xie Lian knows this too.

"A third wheel, how come?" He runs his fingers through your hair. Him and Hua Cheng have tried everything to include you so how could one feel left out?

"It's my own fault, I just don't feel like I have anything to add. I've nothing to offer. I've done nothing compared to you two" You're completely useless like always.

Xie Lian's questioning is interrupted when the door slams open. You both jump when Hua Cheng storms in and grabs a hold of your face. He would never hurt you, you all know this. "Nothing to offer? Just who are you talking about right now?" He frowns at you with furrowed brows. "I don't think we're seeing the same person." He doesn't let you divert your gaze keeping you there.

Hua Cheng knows what you're feeling, your insecurities stemming all from feeling useless. He knows how it is. "You have everything to offer and even if you didn't we would love you anyways. You don't have to add anything y/n, you can just be" he frowns and sits on the bed.

"I think you're going blind in your other eye. I really don't have anything" you blink away tears. "This one offers so much and he doesn't even know, he's done so much for the two of us and doesn't remember. Right gege?" Hua Cheng looks at his other husband for approval and Xie Lian nods.

"This one is a heavenly official. You have to work hard to become a god in the upper court" Xie Lian adds. You scoff though. "That's not what I'm talking about, I-I haven't done anything for the two of you"

Hua Cheng wants to shake you in a jar. "You have though!" Now he's yelling and Hua Cheng doesn't yell only when it comes to the two of you. "Who's rayed by Xie Lian all these years protecting him when I was lost? You did! Who took care of Hong er when Gege's other servants wouldn't dare touch him? You did. Who gave a mongrel child their family heirloom because he had sympathy and was kind? You did!" Hua Cheng holds your face in his hands still.

"You work so hard, and have gone through so much just like the rest of us and yet you still worry about others still!"

"every night this one takes care of us and helps Gege make dinner. Every day this one protects us, every day this one thinks of us and gives his best for us!"

Hua Cheng gives endless reasons small to large. You're crying in his hands and Hua Cheng wipes them away for you.

"No one is allowed to insult my lovers, even if they're doing it themselves" Hua Cheng finishes and kisses your forehead. Xie Lian is smiling and he kisses your forehead too.

"Don't run from us anymore, you can tell us what you're thinking anytime. Me and San Lang have no problem giving you the reassurance you need" he hums and joins you two in bed. All three of you cuddle for the rest of the night and the two practically suffocate you, not allowing you to leave bed. But you love them and would gladly lie here tangled in their limbs.

I hope y'all like it! Also ignore my grammar mistakes guys I always have some. 🖤

[biboomerangboi]

I do actually believe Yin Yu is probably paid pretty well by Hua Cheng but I also believe that whatever he gets paid to deal with Simplord Hua Cheng will never be enough.

[ivoryrisuet]

I feel like Xie Lian eventually would start adding more colours to his clothes. In the beginning it's gonna be just to make Hua Cheng happy but after a while Xie Lian will realise that he doesn't feel wrong wearing bright things. His key colour is still white, he's still mourning. But it doesn't cancel out his right to be happy and feel beautiful.

Just imagine being able to wear something that reminds you of the most hurtful episodes of your life and smile, because you don't have to bear this pain alone. Guilt will never go away, just as sorrow. But now Xie Lian has a special someone who can not only ease this pain, but also remind him that there were many beautiful things too. And that Xie Lian deserves beautiful things like no one else.

[marshmallowwitharubberband]

TGCF headcanon: due to magic, the power of love, or whatever you wanna call it, Xie Lian sees Hua Cheng as his canon hot guy persona, which is his soul's true form. Everybody else sees him as some eldritch abomination made of pure darkness, which is his ghost king form. That's why everybody is some mix of puzzled and horrified about Xie Lian's fixation on him. They're watching Xie Lian smooch a Lovecraftian mass of darkness.

[undermine-the-instinct]

Ive seen Highschools AU's where Xie Lian is a soft uwu sort of person who wears cardigans over his sweaters and is so clueless but nice and nerdy---GUYS. Are we fr??

Xie Lian is definitely the type to be on all the sports teams and be captain while also sprinting down court during Halftime because he's also in band and he's got a solo dammit

[flowersdiceandlove]

Headcanon that Mu Qing, with his pale complexion, used to get sunburned really easily until his cultivation was strong enough to prevent it. Even then though, he still can't get a tan, he just doesn't burn.

Feng Xin, though, is tan. He tans very easily. The sun adores him and he's only gotten a burn, like, twice.

And then, canonically, Xie Lian just glistens.

("Due to Xie Lian's natural physique, the more he sweated, the more his skin glowed like white jade. With the blazing sun overheard as they worked, he flushed as white as powder in no time at all." Volume 4, page 97)

[happypeachsludgeflower]

The reason Feng Xin and Mu Qing always stand so close is because they’re rivals with lots of intense hate and they have to be close so they can hit on each other.

[colorless-vector]

Headcanon where Xie Lian hugs Hua Cheng really carefully after he returns. The memory of his San Lang turning into butterflies in his embrace is too painful.

[sweepingboy]

guys look they are talking!

[daintyzutara]

Loud crash

Hua cheng: Gege? What was that?

Xie lian from the bathroom

Xie lian: …my robes fell

Hua cheng: ….but it sounded way louder than some robes?

Xie lian: I was still in them…

[totallynotsloughjykk]

Xianle Quartet watching a horror movie

Xie Lian: - you'd think he'd be scared but no. he had an uncanny obsession with horror movies as a kid and watches the whole thing while smiling - reassures them that it's not real - emotional support but make it worse - tries really REALLY hard not to laugh whenever Feng Xin screams - drops fun facts half-way through that makes the experience 2x more uncomfortable - goes to sleep right after without any nightmares Mu Qing: - did not want to participate - looking away half the time - he suggested home alone or some dog movie - gasps dramatically whenever something happens - more disgusted than terrified - stress eating and ends up vomiting in the popcorn - judges hualian for cuddling silently - desperately trying to get Feng Xin off him Feng Xin: - he didn't want to participate either but he can't say no to Xie Lian - 'WHAT THE FUCK. WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT' - 60% chance that they'll get a noise complaint because of him - Mu Qing gets pissed off at some point and puts one hand on his mouth and the other on his eyes so he'll shut up - can't go to sleep after - clings onto Mu Qing and squeezes him so hard he can barely breathe - loses the plot and constantly asks stupid questions Hua Cheng: - Xie Lian let him pick the movie this time and it was his decision - 'gege I'm scared :(' - used it as an excuse to cuddle with Xie Lian - adds to the terrifying fun facts and Mu Qing throws popcorn at him because of it - bullies Feng Xin for being terrified - laughs every time someone dies - having the time of his life

I have a request. Can u do a hualian x reader with birds wings. And they help him take care of them.

Our Winged Lover

HuaLian x gn!reader

🪷You have wings!

🦊 Xie Lian and Hua Cheng absolutely adore your wings and quite a few other people do

🪷 They love when you wrap your wings around them, or flap your wings at them. It's so cute and surprisingly very warm

🦊 A plus side to have a winged lover is in the rain! They can't get wet when you use your wings to protect them. So you and Hua Cheng take turns covering y'all's head on a rainy day

🪷 You have quite big wing spand so bedtime can either be really comfy or chaotic.

🦊 If you toss and turn throughout the night, there's a good chance one of your lovers are getting beat up in their sleep by your wings.

🪷 If you have a peaceful sleep though, your wings make pretty good pillows!

🦊 The worst time of the year though is when your feathers begin to shed and new feathers come in.

🪷 It's so itchy and you can rarely get all the pesky pins on your own time, so you can become irritated and angry.

🦊You have lovers now though!

🪷They love to preen your wings, and rub the pins loose from your new feathers

🦊They're favorite part of the shedding process is when the wake up to a pile of feather gifted to them.

🪷 You're mating process is braiding feathers into their hair

🦊 They love when you start nesting and trilling, making little hoo noises.

🪷Xie Lian's and Hua Cheng also love to bathe you. They usually find you in the bath.

🦊You're their little bird and they love their winged lover so much!

[xielianlover2]

Just knowing that Xie Lian and Hua Cheng spend the rest of their eternal lives together just makes me so incredibly happy (I never knew I could feel this much joy just knowing two of my favorite characters are living a happy life.)

I'm just imagining mostly soft, fluffy days - everyday! They wake up to each other everyday! They bathe together everyday! They go to bed with each other being the last thing they see everyday!

They smile, they laugh, maybe they sometimes even tear up from how incredibly happy they are. Their chests are practically bursting everyday from the amount of love they hold for each other.

They truly deserve to rest and be safe and happy forever. To be loved forever. To share that love with one another forever. And they already could understand each other so well (as Hua Cheng tells Xie Lian, "Your Highness, I understand your everything") and what, the novels in the present took place in just the span of a couple of weeks?

Imagine a year. Ten years, a hundred years, eight hundred years. They already have each other's spiritual array passwords, but I don't think they even need a year to just start passing thoughts to one another with just their eyes. They won't even have to look at each other, they'll just immediately understand what the other one means to say.

Guys. I am going feral over Hualian. I can’t even imagine what they will look like after centuries of receiving unconditional love. They'd definitely be codependent as hell haha. They'd also be known as their world's best power couple. Even after just a couple of months or something, there were already stories and legends being written about them.

I love them so much 🥹
