@ashbound for (x) : marrow by vincint ... ( Mo Ran )
give me love, give me more love
more than i deserve
pour it in, into my bones
fill me up, ill i overflow
she is unworthy. distant & messy & detached. wen qing is a woman full of flaws & she tries but she fails & there is no excuse that quiets the monster in her mind. nightmares devastate any moment of peace unconsciousness might bring, memories of fire & falcons, wrath & ruin. she tells herself that’s the reason she allows wei wuxian to drag her out, the nightclub packed with bodies & sweat & alcohol.
the chaos of the atmosphere is enough to drown out the cacophony of her mind, her eyes softening as she watches her friend twirl her reluctant yet beaming brother across the dance floor. her fingers trace the rim of the glass of emperor’s smile she’s been nursing for the past half hour, looking as inviting as a freshly plucked cherry, as intimidating as a bouquet of thorns.
is this how she became entangled in the embrace of a stranger, the smell of eucalyptus & cedar overwhelming her? his hands so unlike her own, large & warm & indelicate & impatient. her skin smolders under his touch & when he pressed closer, not even a whisper separating their forms, she is alight.
burning.
her hands are moving of their own accord & she doesn’t take a second to consider the consequences. her body searches for his in the darkness & she can’t remember ever making such an impulsive decision but she can’t find it in herself to care as the music swells around them & her body is set aflame.

@ashbound asked: [offer] from Mo Ran
He was alright, Lin Ming had decided.
Being labeled ‘alright’ didn’t seem like much of a compliment but Lin Ming didn’t trust anyone, didn’t like anyone, and certainly she had never considered someone a friend. Not that she thought of Mo Ran as a friend; it was that she looked at him and thought maybe. That was enough for her, more than she had before.
Reaching out, she took the offered drink, sniffed it out of habit - if he wanted her dead, there were much easier ways than poisoning - before taking a sip.
She made a gesture with her hand, a loose fist with her thumb on top, knuckles vertical, thumb moving up and down twice, before she realized he wouldn’t understand the meaning. With one finger, she wrote, thank you.
And after a pause, she wrote again.
I can’t pay you back.

@ashbound ( Feng Wu & Mo Ran )
Hair on the back of her neck stood up on end.
Slow, deliberate steps, careful as she felt this feeling wash over her. Like someone had dumped a bucket of water in her head. It was something she couldn’t place and it made her uneasy. A strange sense of dejavu that raised red flags in her mind, there was danger here.Red robes rippled in the light wind, it pulled strands of hair from the high ponytail, sent them fluttering along the moving lines of air.
Was she paranoid?
Out of instinct, she reached out, closed her eyes for just a moment and focused. The deep red and silver hilt materialised in her hand, the blade formed, silver with red inlay, the red swirling flame running up the center of the short sword to its tip. Raising it, she held it in front of her, defensive posture as if she was waiting for something to come out of the blue, an ambush of sorts. The blade quietly ignited, a shimmer of red energy running up the sword before it burst into translucent flame. At least the flame would help keep her warm, maybe run off the chill that hung in the hair.
Dark eyes turned to her Mo Ran, searched him for a moment, looking for some kind of cue over what her next actions were to be. Then, she took a deep breath, asked the question that kept biting her mind, “what is this place?”

FOR MÒ RÁN 墨燃
“Tell me, do you have remorse for what you did?” Azrael says from where she’s crouched on a tree branch, staring down at Mo Ran with wide, unblinking eyes.

@ashbound asked : “I think there’s a lost grave around here.” from Mo Ran
━━ ❀ “ - What are we going to do when we FIND IT?” Hands hanging in the air in front of her, ready to TOUCH at a moment’s notice, even if she probably shouldn’t. Round eyes wide as she tilts her head - she doesn’t get to see it happen in REAL LIFE MUCH - used to seeing methods of banishing ghouls and monsters in books instead.

Mo Ran ( @ashbound ) whispered: “It’s just a scratch. You worry too much.” [ WOUNDED MEME ]
♢ - “I WORRY too much? Who says I’m fretting? I just SIMPLY want to take care of your... SCRATCH before it gets infected. So, sit down and DON’T argue with me, it’ll be over faster if you just COOPERATE.”
Perhaps it was just a SMALL wound but even a small wound as little as a SCRATCH could become infected IF not treated properly. Xue Yang knew THAT better than anyone, having spent MOST of his life having to treat his own wounds haphazardly and just HOPING it wouldn’t get infected. Doctors were a LUXURY that a orphan like him couldn’t afford.
“Want to tell your DARLING husband what you did to get such a scratch? What were you into, Mo Ran?”
Xue Yang teased lightly as he inspected the so called SCRATCH on the other man’s arm. It wasn’t something to become ANXIOUS about, but he still was going to take care of it nonetheless. Nimble fingers worked to clean the wound and bandage it, making quick work of it.
Now that Xue Yang didn’t need to WORRY over the small wound now that it had been PROPERLY handled, he placed a soft kiss on the other man’s forehead with a hum.
“Told you it wouldn’t take long, stubborn jackass.”

Mo Ran ( @ashbound ) whispered: ❛ i woke up and the first thing i wanted was you . ❜ [ TO THOSE WE LOVE PROMPTS ]
♢ - The sentiment was SWEET, something that made even the coldest part of Xue Yang’s heart FLUTTER with joy. Never did he think that SOMEONE would wake up and think about him, to WANT to see him first thing in the morning. What was more, he didn’t think this man who he shared a bed with EVERY night was someone he would grow close to, nor did he think they’d eventually MARRY.
Truly FATE was a funny mistress, pulling him in every which way to EVENTUALLY wind up as someone who was DEEPLY in love.He was being taken care of, feeling LOVED and SAFE for once in his life. Oh, and he could have all the SEX he could ever want as well, that was a MAJOR plus too, of course.
“Wanted me how, Mo Ran?” The question is said with a teasing purr, his form moving to situate himself on top of his husband before leaning down to leave playful kisses on the other man’s face. “You can have me ANY way you like.”

Mo Ran ( @ashbound ) whispered: ‘ sorry for waking you, baby. go back to sleep. ’ (soft tired prompts)
♢ - Eyes began to open, cracking open slightly as he felt the bed SHIFT for what felt like the millionth time. What the absolute fuck was going on? Normally, movements from his partner didn’t wake him up, especially since he’s now become a HEAVY sleeper since now he was always safely sleeping with his husband but it seemed the shifting was NEVER ENDING.
“What are you doing?” The question is SLEEPILY muffled as Xue Yang began to wake himself up. “Is something going on? You’re moving around like your ass is on fire.”
Sorry for waking you, baby. Go back to sleep, came Mo Ran’s reply.
Xue Yang decided that he wouldn’t go back to sleep until his husband had his arms wrapped around his frame once more. How could the BRAT even begin to sleep if this lover wasn’t snuggling him like he ALWAYS was? It was NEARLY impossible for the deviant to do so! He was now so used to the other’s arms wrapped around him that trying to sleep without them was just asking for a nightmare to come strolling in.
“I’ll go back to sleep once you settle down and wrap your arms around me again. Seriously, what are you doing? Are you alright?”
The last question though it was still mostly spoken through a SLEEPY tone, it was a general question that he asked, wondering with CONCERN if something was bothering the love of his life.

@ashbound whispered: “so, how long are we going to stay in bed today?” [ MORNING AFTER STARTERS ]
♢ - A small SIGH escaped Xue Yang’s mouth as he kept his head comfortably rested on Mo Ran’s chest as he thought about his answer CAREFULLY.
“If I had MY way, we’d stay in this bed ALL but I suppose since this is an inn we do have to get up EVENTUALLY. Maybe we should get a house so we can get up whenever we want.”
Xue Yang knew he was just being a BRAT and complaining at this point but he was too comfortable to get up and move. He wanted to stay under the covers, snuggled up to Mo Ran and sleep on and off as much as he wanted. Was that TOO much to ask for? He didn’t think so.
“Give me one more hour, I want to rest in your arms a little longer.”
The deviant finally made a decision, deciding that in another hour he’d crawl out of bed to freshen himself up and get dressed. For now though, he was going to continue resting his head on his beloved’s chest, nuzzling up to the other man as close as he could before his silver eyes fluttered closed once again.
