I guess this is what I’m drawing nowadays huh?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yep. Checks out. Either shirtless Lü Bussy or the latest crackship with Merahwati (one of my two Wo Long characters)
Despite the shenanigans I do improve. And I strive to improve to draw even more shenanigans.

In Stage Girl Ichie’s bond story, she and Fumi borrow a DVD from Yachiyo which has a play on it that she, Mei Fan, and Shiori worked on together, because both Yachiyo and Ichie played the same role, Diaochan, and Ichie wanted to see her performance.
Tumblr media
But we can’t really see the performance, since as far as I can tell, there is no event about it. Fortunately, we do get to see some of the roles they played from the Three Kingdoms, since there’s a Diaochan Yachiyo card and a Lu Bu Mei Fan card. 
Unfortunately there isn’t a Shiori card though, so we don’t know her exact role, but from what she says in the Lu Bu bond story, we can guess.
Tumblr media
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Red Hare is the name of Lu Bu’s horse.
I’m not saying that Shiori played a horse in that DVD her sister watched, but I’m not not saying that, if you know what I mean? 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Actually I lied, she definitely played the horse.

Three Kingdoms omega verse?
Romance of the Three Kingdoms omegaverse! (<-that's a link)
It's called "a guide on (dis)honoring your deities" and it uses a/b/o to examine Confucian traditions and gender roles (specifically, gender roles, class heirarchy, and "internalisation of gender roles based on the having of privilege"). And it's also incredibly sexy.
I highly highly highly recommend reading it. If you don't like a/b/o, I don't either, and the author's notes immediately pointed out all the things I didn't like about a/b/o and fixed it. If you don't know Romance of the Three Kingdoms, that's fine, I did and still have negative knowledge of it because all of my knowledge comes from Fate series.

Probably controversial from me, but whenever I hear people talk about wasted characters in LB3/SIN, my immediate thought goes to Red Hare. All that guy has going for him all throughout his debut (and almost every damn appearance afterward) is a one-bit joke that got overused quickly.
At least Lanling was treated seriously, Red Hare wasn't. Hell, I straight-up can't remind anything he contributed to the story besides his whole bit.

Hi! Can you please do a Qin Shi Huang and Lu Bu with a female s/o that plays the Guzheng/Zither.
Guzheng looks like this, it was made in the Qin dynasty by a general. It’s had 21 strings and you use nails that are made out off plastic, resin, tortoiseshell, or ivory to pluck the strings. The strings are made out of steel strings flat wound with nylon.
Tumblr media
This is the song that she plays, it’s a hard song to master too. Feel free to ignore if it is too much, thank you!
DUDE THIS ASK IS SO COOL?! I AM SO SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG FOR ME TO GET TO IT!! Again, i am a sucker for Qin so he will be written for!!! I hope you enjoy this!!
Tumblr media
Qui Shi Huang and Lu Bu with a reader that plays the Guzheng/Zither. Warnings: None! Type: Drabbles!
Tumblr media
You didn't play often, you found it a bit extra when you played. Knowing it was such a hard instrument to play, you hated the attention it gave you when you played it. Qin knew this, but he adores it so much when you play. He'll often try and say he had a bad day, or that he needs a stress reliver. And of course, you can't say no to this man. Since he had coaxed you into playing for him, he made sure you both were secluded and comfy.
He plopped down on the shared bed, the pitcher of wine crowding the table next to bed. You set the guzheng up, sitting on the bench that accompanied it. You took a deep breath before popping your fingers and placing them gently on the strings. Your eyes closed as your fingers danced across the strings. The melody filled the spacious room, Qin's fingers tapped along his thigh with it.
Your fingers moved on their own, plucking the strings and sending beautiful music out in the air. Once you had finished, you sighed contently. Soft clapping filled the silence as you turned on the bench to face your husband. His smile was never wider as he clapped. Almost like a proud father, he stood from the bed, holding his arms out to you.
"That was lovely, Dear! You'll play more often for me?"
He gently caressed your hand, bringing it to his lips and kissing it.
Tumblr media
Lu Bu never really knew you played. He knew you had hobbies and stuff, but never really paid that close attention. When he would go train for extended periods, you'd stay home and practice. Same when he would watch the legions of people that followed him train. One day he been gone for a while with his horse, so you took the time to set up the guzheng outside. It was a beautiful day afterall.
You had no clue when your husband would be back, his schedule was too erratic in your opinion. But you knew he was safe, that's why you married him in the first place. Well, first it was his personality. The way he held himself so high made you admire him. If he was by himself, you knew no one would even dare to challenge him.
As you finished setting up the instrument, you were quick to sit down in the bright grass Infront of it. You bit your lip and closed your eyes. A strong gust of breath left our lungs as you opened your eyes again. Your fingers pranced over the strings like tiny ballerinas, sending beautiful melodies into the sky. You lost yourself in the music, moving your hands across the instrument delicately.
Little did you know that Lu Bu and his general, Chen Gong were on the way back. Lu Bu was picking his teeth with his pinky and Chen talked on and on about something that the champion didn't care for. The noise of the guzheng reached the ears of the men, a smirk appeared on Lu Bu's face. They approached the yard you were playing in, watching you from afar. The Champion put his hands on his hips, taking a deep breath in with a smile.
"Ahaha! That's my wife/husband right there!"
HJUYGJUYG okay i am SO SO SOS SO sorry for the wait!! i really hope you enjoyed it and thank you for putting some new music in my playlist lmao THE GUZHENG IS SO MAJESTIC I WANNA EAT IT!!!

Various fgo servant fun facts
Saber Astolfo is the version of Astolfo who has their reason back
Beni-Enma has no tongue. She speaks through her bird hat thing.
Saber Gilles de Rais has madness enhancement, because one would have to be insane to believe he can still be a hero after everything he has done
Napoleon is explicitly not The Dude Napoleon but rather the Cult Of Personality Of Napoleon
Benkei is not actually Benkei, he's a guy who had actually fleed Benkei's battle and is using his name as a servant. That's why Ushiwakamaru is constantly fucking with him.
St Georgios has a knack for photography. St Martha has a knack for bondage.
Medb is a rider because she rides men
Red Hare thinks that he is Lu Bu. It is a recurring joke in events that Lu Bu acts as a horse.
Carmilla is an older version of Liz, which is why they each think the other is massively cringe
Fuuma Kotarou is part oni
Beowulf is a berserker because he doesn't fit in any other classes, which is why his madness enhancement is so low

Um so, reader was a princess, and when she was alive if you wanted to court her, you had to beat her in a fight. If you lost you had to pay, with money, property, clothes, crops, animals, food. Anything really. And many many men tried but all failed. So she had a lot of stuff when she died (I imagine that she probably had feasts with all the food that she got)
So reader is a participant in ragnarok, and says like “if you win I’ll let you court me”
with Buddha, Loki, Thor, Lu Bu, Jack, Poseidon, Hades, Kojiro, Ares, Hermes, and Odin
(this is based off of the princess that if you lost you had to gift her, I think, ten horses. So when she died she had like 10,000 horses)
Ah you mean Khutulun! Great-great-granddaughter of Genghis Khan himself!
-You were a Mongol nomadic princess, part of a once great nation that by the time you were born was beginning to wane. However, just because the nation’s power was waning, didn’t mean your own was.
-You were the strongest of your siblings, the only girl out of thirteen brothers, able to beat them in any sort of combat sport from archery to horseback riding to your personal favorite, wrestling!
-None could oppose you, even men two to three times your size, you always pinned them, you always won!
-This stemmed from the deal you made with your father, giving him power as a bonus, that you would only marry someone if they beat you in wrestling, and if they lost, they had to give you 100 horses.
-You settled down after your father’s reputation took a blow, after you remained unmarried, despite the 10,000 horses you now called your own.
-In Valhalla, your reputation preceded you, as you rose in your prime, when you were winning horses left and right, as well as food, treasure, and fine silks, and you were delighted to meet truly strong people, ones you could test your strength against.
-Many were eager to find out if your legends were true, if you were undefeatable, many were cocky and quickly learned that your legends were completely true, as you beat them left and right, making it look easy!!
-Despite getting to challenge warriors from all over the world and from all points in history, you quickly grew bored with these weaklings that kept trying to challenge you, day after day, wanting you for their own, but your stipulations remained intact, if they wanted the chance to court you, they needed to beat you and so far, none were worthy to do so.
-That is, until you met (Love) who just seemed to radiate power, power that quickly caught your interest and you could feel your pulse rushing as he came, seeking you out, as he was curious if your strength was really all that.
-You cracked your knuckles, giving him a flirty wink, “If you beat me you can date me.” While surprised at your arrogance in your skills, he agreed, wanting to test himself.
-Was stunned, staring up at the sky as you bent over him, hands on your hips, huffing lightly. He didn’t win, but he sure as hell gave you a workout, more than anyone ever had in your whole life, alive or dead. You beamed down at him, “That was fun! Wanna go again?” he groaned as he sat up, feeling achy and stiff all over, “You’re inhuman, I hope you know that.” You weren’t bothered, “I just know what I want, and I want someone who can beat me- that proves that they’re strong.” He grinned up at you, taking your hand as you spoke, “C’mon, let’s go get something to eat and drink- you can try again tomorrow.” Despite the pain he felt, he wanted to try again, feeling drawn to you.
            -Ares, Kojiro, Jack, Hermes, and Loki
-He couldn’t believe it, he had lost! He was one of the strongest warriors in Valhalla and he lost to a maiden of all things!! You beamed as you offered your hands to help him up, banged and bruised but grinning as you had finally gotten what you wanted, a match that made you work for the win! He took your hands after seeing the gesture and you easily pulled him to his feet, “You’re the closest anyone has ever gotten! You’re pretty strong!” he felt a bit flattered at your praise because you meant every word of what you had said. He ached, but in a good way, as you gave him what he also wanted, someone who could stand up to him for more than a few seconds. The two of you ended up going out for food and drinks, not a date, as you asked him to fight you again tomorrow and he grinned at your enthusiasm. You truly were unlike any woman he had ever met before and he didn’t want to let you go.
-Buddha, Thor, Lu Bu, Poseidon, Hades, and Odin

Jack, Hermes, Kojiro, Lu Bu, and Buddha walking in on you humping his pillow
Tumblr media
Jack
Was away for a while but didn't tell you why
You were lonely and needy
So here you were on top of his pillow humping and rubbing yourself on it
He opened the door quietly trying to surprise you he heard noises upstairs
He kept up and heard you moan
He paused and opened the door smirking
There you were humping his pillow like a bitch in heat
He leaned on the doorframe and watch your face contort in pleasure as you cummed all over the pillow
He cleared his throat to signal he was there which startled you making you jump
He walked towards you taking your hands in his and nips on you neck
"You really couldn't last 3days without me?" He chuckles in your ear
He will then proceed to fuck you properly and give you the best head ever
Hermes
Had business with Zeus and Ares so he was gone for a while
When he texted you he'd be home soon so he was surprised when you weren't waiting for him at the door
He walked though the house searching for you
Imagine his surprise when he saw his beloved darling humping his pillow with a flushed face and closed eyes and moaning his name loudly
He smirked and held his chin with his hand and the other on his hip
He noted this in his head for later and just enjoyed the show
When you stopped to catch your breath you saw him standing in the doorway smirking
He gave you a wink and walked up to you and held you down "Couldn't even wait two days, huh?" He kissed along your jaw and gave a peck to your lips "So naughty.." he mumbled and a hand went to play with your sex
He made you cum with his hand before he thrusted himself into you and over stimulate you for hours
Kojiro
Was out training and lost track of time but he knew you would understand but hoped you wouldn't be too mad
He slide open the door and immediately froze when he heard your voice calling his name in bliss
His face heated up and he slowly krept over to you and saw you humping his pillow
His face was red and he started stuttering which alerted you
Your head snapped back and your face was red from pleasure and embarrassment
Kojiro walked closer to you and towered over your figure in a swift movement you were underneath him with him straddling your hips and his hands on each side of your head
His hot breath panned against your face and he licked his lips then he stole your lips with his kissing you sloppily
He patted for air and immediately removed his pants and without warning thrusted into you
He tossed his head back and let out a soft moan, he pulled your legs over his shoulders and picked up the pace; he is going to be fucking you for hours
Lu Bu
He was off fighting and you were left at the camp waiting for him to return
You were waiting for what seemed like forever and you were so needy so you grabbed his pillow and slowly fucked yourself on it and moaned out his name
You pictured yourself riding him instead of his pillow
Lu Bu and his army headed back to the camp, Lu Bu jumped off his horse sighing and rubbing his neck
He opened the tents flap and at first didn't recognize you but looking up he froze for a second and then grinned
He grabbed your shoulder making you yelp
He pinned you underneath him and you could see his cock harden in his pants and you let out a wimper
You were getting wet and really needy "P-please Lu Bu I need you so bad" you squirmed "Your such a needy whore huh?" He said in a low voice
He undid his pants and tore your off and teased you and made you beg for his cock before he thrusted into you at fucked you at an inhuman pace
Buddha
Buddha was away on a trip which left you lonely and needy
You were thinking of him fucking your mouth which got you wet so you did what anyone would do and you humped his pillow
Your moans echoed off the walls of your shared bedroom and your mind blocked out any sounds including the front door opening and Buddha shouting your name
His brow raised and he called your name again which lead to him frowning and brows furrowed
He heard noises from your bedroom and he headed over and opens the door
His lollipop was crushed in his mouth when he saw the sight of you fucking yourself on his pillow
The stick fell out his mouth and he swallowed the bits and grinned "I wasn't even gone long" he said and chuckled
You squealed and you backed up off the pillow
He walked towards you and tugged off his shirt and jacket
He grabbed your ankle and tugged you towards you towards him, he threw your legs over his shoulders and preceded to eat you out for hours, overstimulating you

DAMMIAAAAAA
ada idea lagi tak for boxing au record of ragnarok >:3
Sorry tau lambat 😭😭 Damia rasa agak down minggu minggu ni...
Anyways-✨✨
It all started with a very strange dream I had long ago..
Ring of Ragnarok AU🥊🥊
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Contents?: Headcannons
Warnings?: Slight (legal) violence, mentions of drug intakes.
Let's just go with our current fighters...
°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°
Lu Bu: Don't really have much ideas for him, but I can say that he's the strongest fighter at his local ring. If his opponent is weaker than him or having a hard time to take him down, he just yawns and ends the round quickly. Mans bored as fuck. He's just impatient to go to the Valhalla level ring, because Brunhilde promised him there will be stronger opponents for him to fight and have fun with.
Thor : Same as Lu Bu. Though, he goes nicer to the weaker opponents because Loki keeps getting to his ass on how he shouldn't be too cold to the small fries. So Thor did exactly as that, gives the opponent some more time to try harder to bring him down. They better impress Thor, otherwise his patience will run out and he will throw them out of the ring.
Zeus : A veteran. During his youth, he absolutely ruled the ring. However, he always went too overboard with his excitement that he had a few restriction orders against him made by many people, most of it were his old opponents. Nowadays, he seldomly goes out to the ring, and now he coaches others in boxing (mainly his sons).
Adam : An old dog, and still remained standing. Just like Thor and Lu Bu, though he's WAY nicer, he gives his opponents some time to try taking him down and sometimes it went one until the end of time. He tends to go softer to the younger ones, not going full force. The "older" ones always make fun and look down on him because of his small frame, but those always change when he shows them his outstanding speed and force.
Poseidon: Looks down on newbies and youngsters. A LOT. Just like with Adamas, he refuses to look at his opponents in the eyes. He would purposely late to his tournaments, and proceeds to beat the living shit out of his opponent seconds right after the ring begins just because he refuse to mingle with "people who are way below his league". That includes his fans and others that respect him. On his latest tournament, he was absolutely jumped by Kojiro, and couldn't recover mentally ever since.
Sasaki Kojiro: The dark horse and underdog who recently had beat the mighty Poseidon. During his youth, he would purposely lose the tournament, only for him to re-join it the following year and purposely lose again. Because of his continuous loses, a lot of people often look down and ridicule him. His former opponent, Miyamoto Musashi, used to win against him a lot in the past. However, he never once underestimate on Kojiro. That is because recently, Kojiro re-join yet another tournament and beat the unbeatable Poseidon, as his first ever victory.
Hercules: Everyone's favorite boxer. Strong in the ring, soft at the public.The media absolutely adores him. He fights fair and square, giving his opponents the easy game at first but at the same time not underestimating them. Often in the end, his opponents end up respecting him. He absolutely does NOT tolerate with cheaters. It doesn't matter if it's illegal drug usage, bribery towards the referee, steroid intake and etc, Hercules does not tolerate with unfairness. He'll give them a nasty beat down, in and out of the ring.
Jack The Ripper/Jack Smith: Not many known him, until his sudden fame against a very skilled boxer in England. His fancy and polite mannerism don't strike him as an expert boxer, so many have suspected him to cheating, even as far as accusing him taking steroids. Of course, he knew this, yet does nothing about it. He loves seeing other's colors of resentment and envy anyway. Many despise him, so to see his fans going out and about in public is very rare. A strategist rather than a brute. He tends to use psychological pressure and manipulation on his opponents, and he often goes towards their blind spots. All with a sadistic smile of satisfaction upon seeing his opponents fear at the end of the round.
°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°

FANFICTION MASTER POST
You can find me on AO3 at meatjuice. My fics are all available under the readmore cut.
LONG FICS
Brothers in Blood and Spirit: (5/?) POVs: Eras, Legend, Wind.
Summary: Every hero has their weakness. For the captain, it’s his brothers. He will do anything to protect his brothers of the present, just as he did with his brother in the past. (Note: a good look into Eras’ past, this is an au where everything is the same except he has a little brother.)
The Nebula Brigade: (9/?) POVs: Twilight, Eras, Time.
Summary: The Hyrule Empire has reigned supreme for decades, gradually taking over countless planets in the solar system. The only thing standing between the Empire and complete control over the galaxy is a band of rebels. One exiled rebel encounters an Empire soldier and decides to spare his life, and he soon discovers the soldier may play a key role in bringing the Empire down. Despite all odds against them, they work together to bring peace back to the galaxy. (Note: Space au!)
Raise the Red Sails: (1/?) POVs: Spirit, Ravio, Twilight, Eras.
Summary: Hyrule has sent the Royal Navy after mysterious artifacts to uncover the location of the Triforce. Only with this power will they be able to put an end to the evils plaguing their land. The only thing that stands in their way is a band of pirates who seek the same goal of obtaining the Triforce for themselves. Only one group will emerge victorious. Or so they assume. (Note: I watched Our Flag Means Death and naturally had to make a pirate au.)
ONE SHOTS
Snow Day Off: (1143 words) POV: Four
Summary: Link experiences his first time making a snowman. (Note: for the HS Server’s December 2023 prompt ‘Snowed in’.
Fall From Grace: (1535 words) POV: Eras
Summary: Long hair is the sign of a fierce and skilled knight. To have one’s hair cut off by an opponent is the ultimate sign of defeat. To have one cut off their own hair is the ultimate sign of shame. (Notes: canon scene five years prior to the start of HS)
Lost Loftwing: (2207 words) POV: Sky
“Stand down,” Sky ordered with what little authority he could muster. He wasn’t used to that tone, he wasn’t fond of ordering people around. He was even less fond of people trying to kidnap and hurt his loftwing.
ONE SHOTS, BUT YEEHAW
It’s a Date: (919 words) POV: Eras
Summary: A sparring session turns into an admitting your feelings session.
A Horse by Any Other Name: (1531 words) POV: Eras
Summary: Sometimes the bond between a man and his borrowed horse can be so personal.
Dreams and Fireside Chats: (1788 words) POV: Eras
Summary: Link has an unpleasant dream and finds comfort in the kindness of those he's close to.
Bathhouse Boy Best Friends: (1629 words) POV: Twilight
Summary: Two bros, chillin' in a hot tub, five feet apart cause they might be gay??
The Wingman: (2555 words) POV: Sky
Summary: Sky copes with being touch starved naturally by trying to play matchmaker for his companions.
MISCELLANEOUS
At Ease, Captain: (7058 words) POV: HW Link
Summary: Link projects his problems onto his companions, specifically their Champion, but he's definitely okay and fine and not sleep-deprived. (Note: I wrote this at the same time I was creating HS! It’s also around the time when I first read LU. So this was written with neither in mind, but you can really see the prototypes of my versions peeking through in this one.)
The Captain’s Log: (2161 words) POV: LU Warriors
Summary: He dipped his pen in the inkwell and brought it to the paper, he frowned when he pressed too hard and made a large spot on the page. Link would never consider himself an artist, but he prided himself in his penmanship. During the war there was no time for fancy scripts and long words, his fellow captains were lucky if they got more than three lines of cucco scratch. Calligraphy was something he picked up later, he loved the way words flowed on paper. But now, his hands betrayed him. OR: One of those Warriors and Legend journal fics you always hear about but not really.

Henlo it is me again. Chen gong x reader x Lu bu fluff p l z. Whatever is going on is up to you. (And if reader gender has to be specified, fem) <3 love your work
Hope you like it, dear❤️ Lu Bu and Chen Gong needs more attention
Tumblr media
Lu Bu x reader x Chen Gong: how did I end up here?
Tumblr media
Type: fluff
Warnings: blood, war, reader being hurt
Tumblr media
Where there's light, there's dark and where there's blood, there's war. The burning sensation in the eyes after a whiff of ash in the dim light is something hard to forget; exactly like the burning sunlight on the skin, so strong that it seems to heal wounds by scarring them.
Time never passes as the souls of the soldiers are swept away by death's gentle grip, light as a leaf resting on a river. You see the underworld as an old friend, a retirement home that is always ready to welcome you; you begin to hope to become one of the guests, while the pain eats you from the inside.
The deafening thud of a victim falling beside you roused you from your thoughts, while you remained hidden behind a rock large enough to provide cover. You tried not to look, to ignore his empty eyes, so gouged with fatigue that they already resembled the empty shells of a skull; you wondered how soon his skin would have begun to turn pale and his blood to become cold, glacial like the shiver that ran down your back at the mere thought of ending up like him.
Nausea set in, burning your throat like the fire a dragon is about to spit, but you fought your own body to swallow.
"Shit" you whispered, looking away with fear reigning over your movements. The latter, on the other hand, was like the queen of that kingdom: she danced among her subjects in bright red dresses, graceful and silent, dancing with anyone who agreed to participate in that sick game. You had seen fear in her face, beyond that pale mask she always wore, and it was terrifying; the warrior does not fall because his legs are bleeding, but he does because his knees tremble with terror.
The sweat that illuminated your face was mixed with sand, slightly corroding your skin and making it red; the helmet was breaking your head from how heavy it was, but at least it shielded your ears from the desperate moans. Every now and then, you thought of the families of those who died in battle with you, of how a soldier's wife or children could give gold for hearing their last words, and instead, you were there to act as their confessional, memorizing one to one every prayer or death rattle. You simply couldn't forget them, imprinting them exactly as your shoes were now moving the ground: you had decided to peeping out of your meager hiding place, calling upon the deities that an enemy would not materialize out of nowhere to cut off your head.
What you saw brightened your vision by blurring your vision with sheer wonder, similar to that of a child receiving his wooden sword for the first time. The dragon that loomed over the battlefield was ruthless, he loomed with his great wings on the enemies around him, exterminating them with a single blow of his halberd. The wind whistled at his every movement, as he continued undeterred dragging an Acheron of blood behind; whoever found him in front of him could already consider himself a passenger on Charon's raft.
Lü Bu plowed the sea of bodies like a ship under full sail and spread victory, rather than despair. Your general's face was hard, stoic as always, while his tanned skin made him look like a bronze statue, worthy of being exhibited in the most prestigious palace in all of China. The blue tattoo that marked his sculpted body moved in a hypnotic dance, trapping your attention with every movement of its scales.
The pressure returned, devouring you as the lion does a too slow gazelle; perfect metaphor for your current situation. A gust of wind ruffled your hair, filling your nostrils with the strong smell of horse blood and sweat, so disgusting it made you dizzy.
You weren't supposed to be there, you never should have been. The you of the past would never have wanted this, she would have wanted to be happy and run away from war and difference, from the ruins of destroyed walls and the hands of the dead that grab your ankle to sink you with them.
"When did it all go wrong?"
Your damaged memory was unable to find an answer, commanding you to stop thinking of a false future and move your legs. "I have to run...I need to..."
You murmured absently, with wide eyes and heavy breathing. A desert would have been less arid than your throat, which hadn't touched water since the night before due to anxiety and fear of being rejected by the organism. Suddenly, Fear returned, but had your face reflected in the blade of a sword.
The dark lady literally took you by weight, loading you onto her chariot drawn by Despair and Torment, chaining you in place...but it couldn't end like this.
A lonely sigh escaped your lips as you leapt back, dodging the slash that a ruthless-eyed foe had aimed at you, cutting off a small strand of hair. A jolt went through your body, shaking you like an earthquake settles mother earth,
The clatter of your armor, which previously seemed deafening and piercing, was now the only thing keeping you grounded in reality. Fear recoiled, blinded by the bright light of a new fighter, one made of pure gold and with a flaming sword; the sun itself made person. Courage.
Your hand found the hilt of the sword, the memories of training returned and made you fight back, dueling with the enemy in front of you. "Shit" you said, when little red streams started coming out of your shoulder, yet the pain had been overcome by the adrenaline and had become as small as a shadow at noon.
It didn't matter, nothing mattered on the battlefield. You were a soldier, a fighter for your country and as such you had to be willing to die for it. "I refuse"
And Fear's head leapt into the air, cut off by Courage's fiery slash, with such ease that you stumbled in your own steps, heedless of the sweet blood that kept dripping upon the earth, dyeing it a wondrous crimson.
Huff huff huff
No more Fear, it was time to set sail on your new lord's horse; and so you did. The nuts turned white around the hilt of your sword, as you felt the hands of the gods guide you on the battlefield, with the blessed heart of a dragon and the quick step like its mighty wings.
─•~❉᯽❉~•─
One slash, then another. A curse, a curse. Then scream and blood at your feet. The drops that fell from your forehead blurred your vision, some entered your mouth, but you couldn't stop, not now. If fate had ordered death to kidnap you, then you wanted to at least put up a fight. "Chen Gong, look out!" you shouted at your friend, acting as a shield and causing the screeching arrow to strike the plate that blocked your chest; shattering the tip and parrying the army strategist's back. The latter kept his eyes fixed on the aggressor who was occupying him in front, without realizing what had just happened.
The battle makes monsters, stealing humanity from even the most fragile hearts, just like that of the sweet Chen Gong: a ray of sunshine in the midst of the battle and totally the opposite of his lord Lu Bu, his mind was the sharpest of the China...if only its reflections were like that. Meanwhile, the flying general continued to plow the battlefield, not sparing the unfortunate souls trampled by Red Hare.
How long had it been since you came out of your hiding place? Hours? Few minutes?
Ache. The more you stood still, the more the adrenaline went down and you couldn't afford it. Death would not have taken you that day, you promised heaven - although it would probably be the devil visiting you at the grave.
Your gaze met Lu Bu's empty and merciless gaze for a second: the voices around you ceased, the storm calmed down, and everything fell silent. You were about to cry with relief, it was over, it was all over, you did it. Then why were your legs so heavy?
"We made it!" suddenly snapped Chen Gong next to you; his charisma also infected the other soldiers, making them exult in joy, filling that glorious field with shouts once again, but with exultation.
"We...really did it...uh?"
"Y/N!"
Your knees gave way without you realizing it, the black cloth that accompanied your armor daring not reveal what was happening underneath. As your eyes were slowly closing, you caught your general's doing the opposite: he dismounted in a hurry, panic etched in his face, a feeling you'd never seen in him.
"Don't make that face, my lord... don't fear for a soldier like me..."
Those were the only words that came out of your mouth before you felt Chen Gong's arms grab your arm. His grip was strong, urgent, you marveled at the energy he had left despite the battle. That contact, that warmth. It was a blow of humanity, something familiar and beautiful: not bad for the last thing to feel before leaving, a welcoming hand like that of a mother who prevents her child from falling. Even the strategist's cheeks were smeared with dirt, no red liquid on him, but his eyes bore the weight of severed heads and pierced chests.
Your vision blurred even more, until the darkness welcomed you, embracing you tightly and with the intention of never letting go.
─•~❉᯽❉~•─
Lu Bu was the first to run towards you, dropping to his knees beside you. Inside him, a storm of emotion had taken over, none of them visible on his serious face; the general's piercing eyes were marked by fatigue, not by the anguish that was gripping his heart in a death grip.
And Lu Bu was bleeding. Yes, because even his dragon blood nourished a human body, made of flesh and not of scales.
"W-We have to go...immediately..." slurred Chen Gong as he lifted your aching, helpless body into his arms, while your throat was so dry that you couldn't utter a word. You wanted to scream, break that silence you loved so much, finally being able to say your last words and not those of your companions.
"Just stop, please"
You wanted to oppose that desperate attempt to save you; seeing Chen Gong and your lord in that condition was worse than taking a hundred more blows to the shoulder. The rule of war was clear: whoever falls behind is lost, and you were going to do it.
Lu Bu didn't think twice about grabbing his strategist - still with you in his arms - and mounting Red Hare, ready to plow through the clouds of dust as if she hadn't just fought for hours. Only one thought occupied their minds and that was to save you, no matter how, but it had to be done.
Without your joyful presence, like the flowers that bloom in May, the army would never have been the same again: an important part would have gone; perhaps you were not the strongest fighter, but your virtues were admirable. They weren't going to let you die there, not you.
─•~❉᯽❉~•─
"What the..."
Your eyes still thick with sleep scanned the environment around you. A few stretchers here and there, the smell of bitter herbs and a more spacious tent than the others. Infirmary, salvation, life.
You tried to push yourself up with your arms, but the excruciating pain hit you suddenly, making you fall back on the pad. But how the hell did you get there? All you remembered was Chen Gong's broken face, Lu Bu away from you and triumphant, the cheering of those still standing...
Then, a movement by your side caught your attention. Your eyes, now alert and alert, softened and filled with tears as they saw your beloved tactician curled up beside you. Your cheeks flushed as his fingers entwined around yours, moved unconsciously by the sleeping handsome Chen Gong. Seen like this, he was even more beautiful: his completely loose hair fell on his soft features, while his eyelids were softly closed and his curves kissed by the dim light that filtered through the curtain.
A small gasp came out of your mouth as one arm - much stronger than the other - trapped your hips, locking you in place.
Lu Bu was behind you: his head leaned against your back, his mouth open as he purred contentedly, showing all his sharp teeth, the same ones that drove you mad. Even though the general looked frightening, a little bit of his past remained in him, and with that, some behaviors or habits from when he was a child. Your current position was a perfect example of this.
Your heart started beating. Did they stay here for you? Were you that important? Apparently yes, but your eyes were too veiled to understand it. "My heroes" you whispered with a soft, relaxed smile as you returned Chen Gong's squeeze and rested your head against Lu Bu's chest. The pain faded into the background, the suffering out there did too, while a soft breeze stirred the fabric around you, creating not indifferent plays of light.
Their warmth awakened the humanity that had long been hidden in you. You were alive, they were alive, and you were there, together.
