Tales from Tianji Manor
relationship: Di Feisheng/Fang Duobing/Li Lianhua
prev/read it on ao3/next
Tumblr media
double update today! To make up for not posting last week (⁠^⁠~⁠^⁠;⁠)⁠ゞ
Chapter 5
There were a few things that He Xiaohui noticed about her son's relationship within two months of their residence at her Manor.
One: Between the three of them, wherever Li Lianhua went, the other two would always follow.
If he went back to the Lotus Tower to nap, they would follow, bearing blankets and pillows from Xiaobao’s room. If he went to the kitchen, they would follow, with Xiaobao nagging all the way about the last dish that he made. If he decided to sit on the roof to stargaze, they would follow with drinks in hand.
They were like little ducklings, He Xiaohui decided. Trailing after Li Lianhua as one would after imprinting.
But it was probably also just for their own assurance, that he was still alive and with them. She knows how that feels, the all-engulfing panic that almost consumes a person is not one she would like to go through again.
She could not begrudge them for needing the comfort of seeing their loved one alive.
Two: Her son did not deal well with waking up alone.
The one time Xiaohua and A-Fei woke up before her son, he had nearly torn the room apart in his panic.
He Xiaohui only managed to catch a glimpse of him dashing across the courtyard in a flurry, yelling for Li Lianhua as he ran towards the Lotus Tower, leaving a horde of confused servants in his wake.
A-Fei had immediately flown over to intercept Xiaobao at his shout, sweeping up Xiaobao into his arms while muttering lowly to the other, a scene that had the servant girls blushing, averting their gazes from the couple.
He was soon followed by Li Lianhua, who'd looked as frenzied as Xiaobao had, evidently distressed by whatever was going on.
(The guilty expression on Li Lianhua's face did not go unnoticed by He Xiaohui.
There was a history there, she knows, Something that explained why her son suddenly developed abandonment issues.
But she would not pry. Her son was not a kid anymore, his relationship matters were not hers to meddle in. She trusted that they would work through it on their own).
Three: They shared clothes. More specifically, clothes made by Li Lianhua.
Something she had noticed when they returned to her Tianji Manor was that Xiaobao had not touched the wardrobe in his room at all. Robes made of the finest silk made by top notch seamstresses. And yet he had not returned to wearing any of those.
Instead, what He Xiaohui saw Xiaohua wearing one day would be worn by A-Fei a week later, and what Xiaobao wore one day would be worn by Xiaohua the next. It was as if they shared a wardrobe.
They probably did, all things considered, having been sharing such a small space together.
She had offered to buy them more robes and thus brought Xiaobao down to the market with her, bringing up their clothes sharing habit as casually as she could.
“Well, most of A-Fei’s old clothes were bought by Jiao Liqiao, so he does not want to wear those, and some of my old robes got quite battered so Li Lianhua helped me to patch those up,” Xiaobao said, barely sparing a glance to the dazzling array of clothes on display, “I guess we just started sharing clothes somewhere along the way.”
He Xiaohui takes this information in, tucks it away with the rest of the stuff she had gathered in her “Xiaobao's partners” folder.
“Xiaohua is skilled at sewing, then?” She asks, because there was a difference between being able to patch clothes up and being able to actually make robes.
(And well, she had also heard of Xiaohua’s infamous cooking skills. Knowing how to do something and being good at it were separate matters).
“He mentioned that he made his robes, so I suppose,” Xiaobao hums thoughtfully, before running off to a stand possessing rolls upon rolls of all sorts of cloths, “A-Fei would look good in this colour, don't you think? And this would suit that Si Li Lianhua.”
Chapter 6: an intermission
Fang Duobing is 16 when his xiaoyi returns from an expedition with a roughed up looking stranger. A weird, unkempt stranger.
His xiaoyi had introduced him as Zhan Yunfei, a name that Fang Duobing recognized. Though could hardly believe that the man standing before him really was the legendary Zhan Yunfei, master of the Wufeng sword.
Zhan Yunfei had been rumoured to be someone who cared very much about maintaining his pristine appearance, who never had a single strand of hair out of place, nary a wrinkle in his robes, his sword always kept perfectly polished.
The rumours did not match up with what he was seeing. This man who claimed to be Zhan Yunfei was neither neat nor tidy. His borrowed robes were worn carelessly, ill-fitting and wrinkled, and never had he once combed his hair, choosing to let it remain in its unruly nest.
Xiaoyi had claimed to have found him in the forest, barely clinging onto consciousness as he tried to fight her off.
(He very nearly did, his xiaoyi admits afterwards. She only narrowly managed to subdue him).
They had chosen to let Zhan Yunfei stay, with his xiaoyi pledging to take responsibility if he turned out to be a thief. Or conversely, if anything happened to the man under their care.
He had braely spoke to anyone during his recuperation period, under the excuse of meditation to regain his inner qi, coupled with his daily physical rehabilitation.
Fang Duobing, who had initially been excited at the prospect of being able to witness the Wufeng sword in action, had been sorely disappointed. Why was the healing process so slow? But Zhan Yunfei wasn't going anywhere, so he could wait it out, he supposes. His tutor had said that patience was a virtue, and the making of a good man.
(And he had heard the guards whispering that Zhan Yunfei had lost to his xiaoyi in bet- lost in a fight, so he had to stay).
He had been thrilled to learn that his xiaoyi, with his mother's approval, had appointed him as an official guardian of their Manor, where he could put his skills to good use. Yet another opportunity for him to watch the famed Wufeng sword in action!
It took a while, but Fang Duobing eventually got used to having Zhan Yunfei around.
The man would not give into his begging for stories of the jianghu, would not tell him stories about Li Xiangyi, and only responded to his xiaoyi.
But he did allow Fang Duobing to spar with him, dispensing curt but effective advice everytime he lost against him. (The score was now 315-0 in Zhan Yunfei’s favour, but Fang Duobing believed that his day would come. One day).
Fang Duobing knows that Brother Zhan did not approve of his insistence on joining the Baichuan Court, that the other man did not like the people there much- a story that Fang Duobing swore he would get out of him one day- but he did not stop him from attending their annual acceptance examinations either.
Year after year, Brother Zhan would be waiting at the back of the Manor where he snuck out from, radiating disapproval even as he asked if he really was sure of his choice.
Each year, Fang Duobing would respond with the same line.
“My shifu is definitely still alive. he's not dead. I'll join Baichuan Court and wait for him to come back.”
And every time, Brother Zhan would crack a slight smile at that line, allowing him to pass. It felt good to know that he was not the only one who believed that Li Xiangyi was not dead.

Love & War - Chapters 5 & 6
Galfrey was a queen, a paladin, an icon for all that was righteous and just in the Crusades. Cleo was a barbarian, a tiefling, a personification of demonic chaos. By all rights and logic, the two should have been at each other’s throats- and sometimes, they were. But somehow, through war and struggle and sacrifice, they found more in each other than either could ever have expected. 
Galfrey bowed her head before Iomedae’s likeness. Give me guidance. Give me strength. Give me faith.
She’d always been faithful, hadn’t she? She’d always been strong. Even after her god died, after her friends and family grew old and withered away, after she spent decades that didn’t belong to her throwing herself into this unending war.
 So after all those years…why now?
 Why like this? Why grant this power to someone with no faith of her own, why manifest it in such a manner?
 Why her?
