One of the cases is Luo Shaochuan (Zhang Yunlong) being a murder suspect omg it’s a total reversal from MRIAD’s very first case!!! AND THEY ARE SOLVING CASES TOGETHER LEGIT I AM CRYING
So yeah. Been watching My Roommate is a Detective and this happened. With special thanks to @onmyo-jin and Valashu for the text in the ‘sad little meow meow’ ones.
I'm thinking about the ending of mriad and just like... If your closest friend is like "bro u sure abt this" about your marriage then... Probably not a good sign lol
When they made checkmate, they took out all the flavor. Mriad is delicious even with basically no plot and quite a lot of annoying moments, but checkmate, which is supposed to be an upgrade, is so freaking bland.😕
Thank you so much for answering my Chuyao prompt!!
If I may be cheeky enough to request a conclusion, coz that is cliffhanger-y as hell xD (or I could wait till the next time you open the prompt spam again 😊)
What was time when a person had their world so thoroughly shaken? Somewhere after The Kiss, Lu Yao found himself taken home by Qiao Chusheng's orders to an officer. Somehow, his body went through the motions of preparing for bed, of bantering with Bai Youning, of pulling back the covers and lying in repose.
But sleep did not come.
Though his body did not toss and turn, Lu Yao's mind did.
Where had the signals been? What did it mean? Was this a one time thing? Was he to be another conquest? Was it real? Would Qiao Chusheng actually want to...
With eyes unseeing, Lu Yao met dawn's first light as it began to cross his ceiling. A few moments later, Lu Yao felt a weight cause his bed to dip. He turned his head to find Qiao Chusheng sitting at his side, broad shoulders slumped, hair slightly askew, dressed only in his dress shirt and slacks.
"Lao Qiao?" Lu Yao whispered. "What are you-"
Qiao Chusheng turned to face Lu Yao slowly. "I have to apologize to you."
"What?"
"I was... rash and not thinking properly last night. You probably didn't appreciate me-"
"Where is this attempt at eloquence coming from?" Lu Yao forced himself to sit up. "Since when are you so polite to me?"
"Are you telling me I shouldn't apologize?"
"I'm telling you that if you're going to sit here and take responsibility, at least act like you mean it."
Qiao Chusheng sighed before leaning in, forcing Lu Yao to lay back down as he was caged in by Qiao Chusheng's arms. "You want me to mean it?"
"I want you to do mean the next thing you say or do. Regardless of what it is. Anything less is unbecoming of the Inspector."
"If you want me to mean it," Qiao Chusheng's eyes darkened. "Then I won't apologize."
Lu Yao met his heavy gaze. "I'm fine with that."
"I won't let another man kiss you."
"I'm fine with that too."
"I won't let women kiss you either."
"Then who will kiss me?"
Qiao Chusheng leaned in until they were a breath apart. "Me."
Lu Yao licked his lips. "Then do it."
Later that morning, Bai Youning walked by Lu Yao's bed to find the two curled up around each other, deep in sleep. She sighed and shook her head. "Finally." She then closed Lu Yao's bedroom door before wondering how she could sell the news as an article. "Shanghai's hottest bachelor, no more! The crime-solving power couple!" Bai Youning laughed to herself before leaving the house.
:eyes: The title is already making me feel soft and m up for some fluff so "Domesticity is Intimacy Earned" if that's alright!
(though if it does turn out to be angst, I don't mind either lmao)
Oho okay, but this is for the My Roommate is a Detective fandom. Written right about when the show ended, but I ended up getting distracted with uni, so it never progressed past 3 chps lol
Chapter 1 & 2 can be found HERE.
...
(Random snippet from chp 3)
“What are you guys talking about?” Lu Yao’s entrance startles them both. He raises an eyebrow at their fluster and then proceeds to ignore it, “Anyway, I’m done here. I need to go back to the forensic department. Chusheng, are you coming?”
“Ah, no, you can take the car. I’ll follow after we finish taking photographs.”
Youning looks at him with wide eyes as Lu Yao leaves. “Chusheng,” she whispers, “Chusheng?”
Well, that confirms it that Lu Yao hasn’t told her yet. And as usual, he has left it to him.
Chusheng looks back at her calmly. “Yes?”
“Huh,” she says, then swipes her notebook out of his hand. She looks at him consideringly, “No wonder you actually listened to me talk about Lu Yao’s ex-girlfriend.”
He clears his throat, “Now, that’s nothing to do with the case, so–”
“How long?”
“Youning,” he says, exasperated, “calm yourself. Why are you so upset?”
“Upset? Who’s upset, not me, I’m not upset!” She certainly looks upset.
“He would have told you when he felt ready, you can’t demand this of him.”
Youning bites her lips but nods understandingly, “When would that have been though?”
“Now, apparently,” says Chusheng and at her incredulous look, continues, “have you ever heard him say something in a straightforward manner?”
Thank you @technitango the tag, for, like every author, I do love a good opportunity to ramble on about my fics!
rules: give us the links to your fic with the most hits, second most kudos, third most comments, fourth most bookmarks, fifth most words, and fic with the least words.
Fic with the most hits: Early mornings and late nights, 13,603 hits
First fic I ever wrote, that launched my long and prolific fanfic writing career why of course (hem). It's a Xicheng High school AU, which in retrospect I think it got as much traction as it did because I was so hyped about it and promoted it on here relentlessly & the people following me at the time were all in this specific fandom. Bc looking at it now, I do cringe at my writing... I still like it, but I guess it means I've improved ╮(. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)╭
Second most kudos: Rightful place (it's yours), 466 kudos
Third part in a the devil judge fic series, that happens during the show. My favorite parts in this series are the first and second fics, as well as the last part (New Beginnings). The last part is v good.
Third most comments: All that glitters, 43 comments
I didn't actually know this fic had so many comments! This is from the My Roommate is a detective Universe, Chusheng and Lu Yao go to a party, and ofc alcohol is drunk and things are being blurted out. I had some very dedicated commenters at that time and it was truly a blessing and enabled me to finish the fic?
Fourth most bookmarks: Not an exact Science, 39 bookmarks
OOOH this one I know EXACTLY why. It's for the show Love is Science, and it was on HIATUS when I wrote this fic, which was also, the first one in the fandom. So our fandom had literally nothing else to feed on (at the time) lmfao. Still grateful for this small community. What it's about? Ouwen (Stylish gay) gets sick, and Mark (bisexual dumbass disaster) takes care of him. A sickfic written during covid times. Oh well
Fifth most words: Just a trial Date, 5,779 words
ALSO Love is Science. This was a sweet continuation to a bittersweet and amazing fic which is this one: It was only a kiss, by autumnxxangel.
Fic with the least words: Those who bleed, 663 words
I KNEW it would be this one. Uh. Wangxian angst ( I tried). Here's the summary:
Lan Wangji fights until his entire body is bloody. His white clothes stain red, slashed to pieces by swords of his own clan. He fights for three days and three nights, until the last shreds of his spiritual power have been wrung out of him and his knees give out.
That's it for me! Too lazy to tag people but it's really fun and I recommend this game :D
