WIP Wednesday
It's somehow Wednesday again! Enjoy DFS and FDB trying to comfort LLH during a nightmare.
(You can find more excerpts here.)
A-Fei cut himself off, head whipping around to look at Li Lianhua. “Xiangyi?” All trace of the storm had vanished, leaving only worry in its wake.
Fang Duobing sat bolt upright. “What’s wrong?” 
Li Lianhua’s hand twitched.
Huli Jing whined and shifted to drape herself across Li Lianhua’s knees.
“Where’s the incense?” a-Fei snapped, glancing frantically around the room.
“What?”
“Incense,” a-Fei bit out. “From the parcel. Find it. Now.”
Fang Duobing bit back his demand for details. “On it,” he said instead, yanking the parcel from his robe and tugging at the strings. Damn it, why had he tied them so tightly?
“Xiangyi, it’s alright,” a-Fei said, his gruff voice gentled. He tapped Li Lianhua’s pulse point repeatedly. “You’re in Lotus Tower. You’re safe. It’s time to wake up.”
A nightmare? He should have known. Of course a-Fei would have something for treating them, and of course he wouldn’t have wanted to talk about–
“–No,” Li Lianhua mumbled, “no, don’t–”
“You’re safe, Xiangyi,” a-Fei said more urgently, squeezing his wrist and giving it a shake. You’re free. Now stop fighting and open your eyes!”
Oh, shit, if he was dreaming of whatever happened earlier, and he tried to destroy his heart meridian again–
“–I can’t wake him up,” a-Fei hissed. “Hurry.”
“Understood.” Fuck it. Fang Duobing snapped the string in half and tore the packaging open. Dried herbs spilled on the ground like tears. 
“Don’t do this,” Li Lianhua begged, his voice breaking.
“It’s not real,” a-Fei said, gripping his shoulder, “whatever you’re seeing, you already survived it. It can’t hurt you. Follow my voice and open your eyes.”
Duobing’s fingertips finally bumped something long and thin. “Found it,” he said, jumping to his feet. Fuck, where was the incense burner? He’d stowed it when he’d driven the Lotus Tower here, which meant it was–“The kitchen. Hang on, Xiaohua’er,” he said, sprinting to the front of the Lotus Tower.
Fuck fuck fuck. He yanked cabinet drawers open, feeling around the pots and pans, until–
“–I got it,” he called out, rushing back into the room, shoving the incense stick into the burner as he went. 
A-Fei had shifted to his knees, his dao abandoned on the bed, and had one hand splayed over Xiaohua’s chest, preemptively radiating qi, and the other wrapped around his wrist, fingertips to pulse, hovering close to his lips. “Light it,” he snapped, not taking his eyes from Xiaohua. “Xiangyi,” he murmured, “Lianhua. Xiaohua. I’m here. Xiaobao’s here. No one else. We won’t let anyone hurt you again. It’s a dream, alright? Just a dream. Open your eyes.” 
Fang Duobing shoved some clutter off the nightstand, slammed the burner in the newly cleared space, and fumbled in his robe for his flame stick.
Xiaohua thrashed wildly. “Stop! Please stop!”
Fang Duobing lit the incense, capped the flame stick, tossed it somewhere, and rushed to the bed. “It’s ready!” he said, holding it out to a-Fei.
“Bring it here,” a-Fei said, twisting to the side to make space while still keeping a hand on Xiaohua’s heart. 
Fang Duobing sat on the edge of the bed, against Xiaohua’s hip, hovering the incense burner over Xiaohua’s chest, and tried to waft the fumes closer with his free hand. “Like this?”
 “Let me go,” Xiaohua sobbed, “Please, Shiniang, let me go!!”
Wait, then the healer was his shiniang? Shit, of course, why hadn’t he thought of that before? That would explain everything–
–Why did a-Fei look like he’d just been stabbed? 
“A-Fei?” he whispered.
A-Fei blinked, and the raw devastation on his face turned into cold, consuming rage. “She’s not here. We won’t let her hurt you again.”
Oh. Oh no.
“It’s ok, Xiaohua’er,” Fang Duobing said. “We won’t let anything happen to her.”
A-Fei shot him a look of such abject hatred Fang Duobing was vaguely surprised he didn’t gut him with his dao on the spot.
“Trust me,” Fang Duobing mouthed at him. “We won’t let her sacrifice herself for you. We promise.” He grabbed Xiaohua’s free hand and squeezed it. “You saved her, ok? You’re both safe. No one has to die. You’ve done enough. You can rest now, alright? Just breathe. That’s it. Nice, deep breaths.” 
He stroked Xiaohua’s hand, keeping up a steady stream of encouraging murmurs, until the faint tremors coursing through his arms had stopped, until his breath evened out, until his face had once again gone slack with restful sleep.
Fang Duobing gave Xiaohua’s hand another squeeze, placed it carefully back on top of the blanket, and forced himself to release it. “Sleep well, Xiaohua’er,” he whispered, tucking a flyaway wisp of hair behind Xiaohua’s ear.
A-Fei hadn’t made a sound since Fang Duobing had started speaking, other than the rustle of fabric when he changed position, removed his hand from Li Lianhua’s chest, and slipped back into his earlier post in the corner. 
Maybe his headache was acting up again?
A-Fei looked mostly normal: the dao was back on his lap, his legs were crossed, and he seemed to be meditating again. The only difference from earlier was that now he was holding Li Lianhua’s wrist in both hands, and his head was ever so slightly bowed over it.
He thought back on how gutted and horrified a-Fei had looked when Li Lianhua had shouted his Shiniang’s name. How furious he’d been when Duobing had promised to keep her safe.
There was no way he was as fine as he was pretending to be.

Tress scratched the best itch for me, I’ve been craving a good fairy tale and it was just perfect. I kept slipping so hard into the fairy tale aspects that I kept getting caught by surprise whenever a cosmere thing stopped beating around the bush and revealed itself, actually. While I’m sure that wasn’t fully the intention, it was a really fun way to read some brandermansanderman coming fresh off of sunlit man and how intensely locked in I was with the Connections. Genuinely Tress is such a fun little romp. I love girls who sail in fucked up seas and this is a genre I want more of please thank you.

Funniest out-of-context Skyrim screenshot of the week:
Tumblr media
I installed an Oldrim mod that adds Dragonlance and Forgotten Realms characters into the game as followers and completely forgot about it since I ended up getting BG3 and playing that instead. Fast forward to last night, I'm clearing out Meridia's temple and I run into Zaknafein.
I also have the Sea Dragon ship, and since I didn't want to have another follower with me blocking doorways, I just recruited him into my crew. Poor bastard.

my flatmate asking me the day before "do u want to hang out w me and [old friend] everyone else cancelled so I can invite u now" is not the heartfelt offer she thinks it is :^/
#what am i sloppy seconds. fuck off man#i like them both but im not in the place to socialise rn + also it just feels kinda mean. theyve had these plans for weeks#and i wasnt invited bc some of their other friends (who ive never met) didnt want me there which is fair enough ig#even tho their friends complained abt someone else bringing her bf but they both blocked the veto for that. pretty sure ik them-#better than some guy but whatever. i dont rly like their friends anyway bc they only ever have bad things to say abt them#like damn they sound like they have the emotional range of toddlers plus theyre all into shit like genshin. so i wasnt fazed abt it#hope they have a nice time etc but wow sure now theyve cancelled the day before u can invite me as a replacement. yeah thatll do wonders#for the social and self esteem issues i have around being single use and disposable and always on the outside etc yippee#the thing is if i go theyll just talk to each other anyway and leave me to be the fly on the wall like they always do. they dont want#me there they just want an audience i literally have nothing else to contribute i dont think they even like me that much so!#anyway complaint over. genuinely i hope they have a nice time im just annoyed at being treated like that + probably projecting a bit too#its not like i could go if i wanted to anyway bc i have shit to sort out + mail to wait for. maybe next time invite me from the start huh#we had another old friend visit last weekend but those plans were really made without me too and i was just added bc i Live Here so its#kind of unavoidable. but oh well whatever it was nice to see them either way#im too depressed rn to fix my social life or even rely on existing coping strategies in social situations so im having to temporarily#cut it back bc i get too trigger sensitive + dont want to hurt myself or others bc of an arbitrary emotional overreaction#its usually one of the first things to go when im Going Thru It not in a self isolating way but more bc its one of the hardest things#for me to maintain + im pretty self sufficient so its not absolutely crucial. like of course i love my friends but socialising is a#want not a need yknow. eating/sleeping/exercising/hygiene are all more fundamental parts of the engine so i gotta prioritise them#and it sucks but ill survive. anyway sorry for venting on everyones dash so early in the morning i woke up grumpy 👎#i need to get breakfast and then go out. ughhhhhhh okay.#.vent

I know I don't have the energy for it all the time but I love when I cook for myself. 1) it's sexy, 2) I'm not as bad of a cook as I always say I am, and 3) I always make a lot of food, so either I have food for several days or, if I'm in a feeding mood, I can eat a lot at once

i don’t get why folk r complaining about the lack of screentime for the girls and the lack of development of the boys in the same breath when the writers were actually catering to the fans by giving the girls more screentime than they should’ve. they just cut to all the negative parts of boy experiment as a way to show bias, we actually missed out on a lot of their progress.
honestly even tho i’m fully aware how messy it was, i’m happy with how it was done cos i’d rather have more scenes with the girls than have a perf second season.
i’m actually going to be so mad if the show is cancelled bcos of everyone raging on twitter, cos this season was just a build up for the rest of the show. we’re going to see a marked diff in quality when the plot is only split between present day on the island - what gretchen is up to - ian piecing things together.

Okay! So!
I’ve will be back from a six day, 1044 mile journey tomorrow evening, I will be exhausted because no it was not in any sensical straight line and was a total indulgence trip 👀 more of that to come later.
But I will be catching up and posting opens and starters as soon as I am up for it, very likely on Friday because the muses are quite loud after their own holiday from the dash. Just letting you all know that I will be back and I can only apologise for that!

it should be noted that after much deliberation… that hati is a triple scorpio. sun and moon and rising..!
#when she said she wanted to have marcus zeroed she mean it! and it’s SO GREAT im yelling that she fell in love with him too 💞🥴#*meant#oc: caitrìona mac cathmhaoil#x: caitrìona x marcus#x: veni vidi cedidi ad vos#leg reads defiled hearts#sometimes flirting with ur nemesis backfires and u fall in love with them instead 💞🥴#her entire big three is just.. scorpio AND I LOVE IT#marcus thinking it’s bc of her blind dislike when she first met him (which a part of that WAS)#but in reality it is just her perpetual ‘i am IRRITATED’ expression jajsjz which! so true bestie!#(we are NOT going to talk about the fact that their meeting was after she walked out of the bathhouse.. and that her initial reaction ->#before realizing who he was and the voice she heard when she turned to see was.. oh no hes hot ✨🥴)#which INFURIATED the loving hell out of her snsjsjjx. but! inner vengeful scorpio she is! was like! yes! we can weaponize this!#so like.. at FIRST she was like oh YEA babes it’s time to use the tried and true good ol’power of seduction to END this man#and then for SOME reason she keep staving the plan off.. she spends more time.. seeks him out but not for manipulating him further!#but actually to.. see? him? WHAT IS THIS?? like?#THE CLOWN SHOES WERE SQUEAKING THE CLOWN MAKEUP WAS APPLIED she was falling in love with the last soul on earth she wanted to..#AND THE THING IS IS THAT NOW..! NOW THEYRE BOUND BY FATE! red string!#toss the nut into the fire and see if it lands next to theirs and if it does! ur in love! all of that to prove it!#which given how starkly she abides by her traditions.. THIS FOOL SHE KNEW#which the triple scorpio in her is like.. vowing vengeance against the gods for doing this to her skjzjxj#like her already planned out vengeance? was PERFECT..! and then! this! what gives!#she was aware of her feelings but pushed them down DEEP.. turned it into a weapon instead! jokes on both of them!#this if..! these two make me CRAZY i tell you skjsxj like i know I’ve said it a million times but! THEY DO!#leg.txt#leg.ocs#the astrology nerd in me uses zodiacs a lot and tarot to determine a lot of who the character is! it helps!#i do need to think about what sort of card she would fit the best.. thinking! seeing!
