happiness here - jiang cheng hcs
long awaited jiang cheng happiness continuation, better known as the ‘jin ling momming hcs” (i sincerely love that)
catch up on the first parts here: part I , part II
✧・゚: *✧・゚:*    *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
it must have been fact
but, Jiang Cheng loved you
he wouldn’t know when it started
or how it came to be
but in this instance,
the present
right now
he sees that he loves you 
Jiang Cheng should have known better that just saying “no” wouldn’t be enough to stop his hard-headed nephew
and even more stubborn assistant (you)
the monster on tonight’s night hunt was a notoriously fierce demon dog,
blood thirsty and fearless, 
it was not a night hunt to have children in attendance
yet somehow, 
here Jin Ling was, 
you in tattered robes near by
the demon dog lunges, it’s jaws snapping wildly,
Zidan lights the forest night purple, the demon dog knocked back with a force of electricity and his own human anger,
his accompanying disciples through their demon nets on the wounded demon, making quick work of subduing it in its state
Jiang Cheng doesn’t spare a minute to check their work,
immediately turning to you and Jin Ling
“jiu-jiu! i can explain” Jin Ling is quick to stutter out when Jiang Cheng’s heavy foot steps approach both of your crouched forms
you stand up as Jiang Cheng approaches, Jin Ling clutching onto the side of your robes
“this was my fault, don’t blame A-Ling for this,” you’re quick to defend, when Jiang Cheng stares at both of you with an unreadable look in his eyes
you hold onto Jin Ling’s shoulder tightly as you continued,
“Jin Ling was worried, you were going with only a few disciples on this night hunt and though it’s a demon dog, the techniques Jin Ling has been learning at Cloud Recess have prepared him for this. we were coming to help you...” 
you don’t mean to ramble, but the words fall out of your mouth the longer Jiang Cheng stares at you with...
worry?
anger?
please not anger
you unsure emotions comes to a halt when Jiang Cheng suddenly pulls both you and Jin Ling into a tight embrace, 
and the words that he utters quickly onto the side of your cheek
“don’t scare me like this again,”

Because Life is a Little Frightening Right Now...
I bring you more Witchers doing a thing we all may love and appreciate. SO. You have chocolate.  Geralt: He will smell it on your person. Esp if it’s something he knows you really like. He may ask to have some just to watch the look on your face as you try to act innocent/sly because you’re hiding it on your person. You can say whatever you want, but in the end, that White Wolf is going to have a piece. Ciri: (she IS a Witcher in my mind) She is the sort to horde chocolate. Milk chocolate is best, followed by something with peanuts or hazelnuts. She will share from time to time. She knows the noses of the other Witchers and does her best to squirrel it away. Gifting her with chocolate makes her a little suspicious but open to friendship. Gifting her with chocolate when your romantically involved with her gets loving approval. Eskel: Chocolate makes him happy. Having you around makes him happy. Sharing it with kisses makes him ridiculous. He leaves you to bring the chocolate. He brings the vodka. Lambert: Like your panties, that shit goes missing. You look high and low for your chocolate and not so much as a wrapper could be found - Much like your heart. You find out what happened to your chocolate when he kisses you. He does make up for it over a weekend. Somehow your heart shows up again. Panties are still MIA. Vesemir: Treat him to some chocolate and you made a friend for life. He’s old fashioned and loves to savour a small piece every now and then. Thinks fondly of you when he does.  Letho: It’s something he goes out of the way to get for himself from time to time as one of the few happy memories as a trainee was an old Witcher giving him some when he did exceptionally well in his training. This habit does not translate into his adulthood and one day he decides to tease you by taking your chocolate and using Quen on himself. So you watch on helplessly as he enjoys your bar of chocolate one nibble at a time. You can shout the abuse of power all you want, but until he’s done teasing, you ain’t touching him or HIS chocolate.
Coen: Not much for chocolate. Not much of a sweet tooth. Dried mango. He’d scarf that down. Fresh mango is something he has never experienced and when you bring him this, he is flabbergasted. Que bliss and juice dribbling down his chin as he tries to eat it skin and all. You’re left wondering if the peel is edible or not. He is shocked at the size of the pit.
Gaetan: He would give you a strange look, unsure if this is a trap or a horrible joke. Obviously, he hasn’t had much kindness lately. He remembers bringing chocolate to his sister -- she is long gone now. You offer again and Gaetan cracks a sardonic grin. Asks what he has to do in return. Just an offering, you say, a gift and now you get a real smile, fine lines wrinkle around his cat eyes. Just like any cat, once fed, he’ll come back for more.
ENJOY!

unmistakable - mdzs character hcs
mdzs characters reacting to when you change your perfume
**✿❀ ❀✿**
Jiang Cheng
you are standing alone, watching the boats along the riverside pier,
when arms come up to wrap around you,
and you feel someone’s chin land on your shoulder,
before you can even share a word, 
there is a firm kiss pressed against the bottom of your neck,
“Jiang Cheng,” you breathe, surprise and happiness mixing together in a blissful utterance
there is a soft pause where only the wind responds with a caress of your cheek
and then you feel Jiang Cheng’s lips against the bottom of your neck, slowly making its way up,
“Jiang Cheng,” you can’t help but scold slightly, note the public setting that you both are in,
at your second call of his name, the Sect Leader spins you around to face him, 
brackets you against the wooden rail of the pier
“your fault,” Jiang Cheng tells you and you can’t help but smile at his childish words,
can’t stop him when he leans in to pull you in a deep hug, nosing at the juncture of your neck
“you smell nice,” his lips murmur against your skin
and you hug him tighter, 
glad that he loved the new scent of lotuses and lavendar etched onto your skin
**✿❀ ❀✿**
Xue Yang
familiar scents, sentimentality would surprisingly be something that Xue Yang was attentive to
so when he comes to meet you at the inn hall that you both always meet at,
he is surprised 
he’d become used to the natural scent that he had connected to you, earthy and herbal from your work at your father’s medicine shop
but today,
when Xue Yang gets a whiff of something sweet, floral, and looks up to see you approaching
his eyes widen along with an interesting smirk,
“this is new,” Xue Yang comments when you both sit down at the shared table
and you give him a questioning look,
“cherry blossoms,” he notes, and you watch him take an exaggerated breath of the air around you,
“cherry blossom...” Xue Yang says 
and your eyes widen at his attention,
you had just tried a new perfume of cherry blossoms and ylang ylang
and you didn’t that it would make much of a difference
or mask the scents of all the herbs that you brewed in the medicine shop
but surprisingly to Xue Yang
somehow it had
**✿❀ ❀✿**
Nie Mingjue
Mingjue sits on the bed, watching you by your vanity
the night routines that he shares with you are the most relaxing moments of his day,
he can name practically all the steps that you take by heart
which is why when you return to bed with him,
he can immediately tell that something is different
“y/n, you smell like jasmine,” Mingjue comments right away as you lay in his arms
“yes, i finished the perfume you bought me a few days earlier, we can go back to buy it again,” you tell him, 
but your surpised by Mingjue’s strong hold around you, and the gentle kiss that he presses to the crown of your head
“i like this scent, soothing,” Mingjue tells you and you smile, leaning on his chest,
“mhm,” you hum,
happy to provide this bit of care and love
to your hard working husband

hands to hold - mdzs characters hcs
these mdzs characters wake up from a bad dream, and the first person they want to see is you 
✧・゚: *✧・゚:*    *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
Lan Xichen
it is always the same sight,
the same blood on his hands,
the same cold hilt of the sword,
the same force of a push that sends him back, far away, falling into an abyss of darkness
it is the same image that resides in his eyes, every single time he wakes up
when Lan Xichen blinks himself awake, he can’t ignore the tears that are already rolling down his face, the lump in throat that he tries to choke down
but it still makes his breath hitch with the effort, 
as his eyes adjust to the dark, because he is now wide awake,
he feels the warmth of a small hand on his chest, 
Xichen turns slowly, eyes landing and making out the picture of your still sleeping face
Xichen’s hand finds yours, interlocks your fingers together 
your hand in his grounds him, even in your sleep
Xichen turns fully to face you, his free arm reaching out to you
he brings you to rest in his arms, comforting himself with your closeness, 
you fit into his arms perfectly,
face nuzzling into his inner robes,
Xichen leans his head against the top of your head, takes in the soft scent of you beside him, around him, always with him
with the lingering scent of the Hanshi intermixed with you, Xichen finds sleep again
✧・゚: *✧・゚:*    *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
Jiang Cheng
it is a sad thought to realize,
but Jiang Cheng doesn’t remember the time before the night terrors occurred
they are not always the same sights, or fears
but they are always terrifying, unresolved,
always angry 
sad,
malicious
hateful to him
perhaps it is a mirror of his subconsciousness 
Jiang Cheng wakes up painfully,
he sits up quickly in bed,
sweat dotting his brow,
a shaking in his hands that he can’t stop,
a heart beat so erratic that he would have thought that his organs were giving up on him,
“A-Cheng,”
the sound of your voice feels distant even though you both share the same bed,
he feels the blankets rustle, he’s scared that you are leaving him, just as everyone had
just as everyone else already did
before you know it, Jiang Cheng reaches out, grabs onto your arm,
you’re pulled roughly into a tight hug,
one where Jiang Cheng locks his tense arms so tightly around you you’re nearly suffocating,
one where he buries his face into your neck
one where you feel his warm tears, drip drip drip against your skin
“you have me, i’m right here, A-Cheng
“i’m right here,”
it takes a moment, a long quiet moment
but you always patient for him, and slowly his arms around you loosen to a breathable strength, 
one that frees your arms so that they can hug him and run your hand up and down his back,
you place a featherlight kiss upon the top of his head,
hold him even as his body shakes with the silent tears that leak out of his eyes
you hold him even when dawn breaks across the horizon
you would hold him forever
✧・゚: *✧・゚:*    *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
Xue Yang
he rarely feels guilty 
but Xue Yang still has a conscience
 so all the blood,
splattered, puddled, pooled into things that had to be done,
usually tucked safely away
sometimes make their appearance after a particularly hard day,
when all his energy is drained,
where Xue Yang feels the most vulnerable,
sleep passes by in a wink, if he even managed to sleep at all
which is why when he closes his eyes, 
the nightmare comes back after a long time
feels the pain rupture from his fingers all the way down his arm like the very first time,
feels the angry, the sadness churn and take him whole
Xue Yang had always been too rational to believe in spirits, but they come to him now,
all the people that he’d killed merciless
he’s begging for mercy
“Xue Yang,”
he should know better than anyone, that the dead don’t stay dead
“Xue Yang-”
you let out a startled breath when Xue Yang’s holds a knife up in defense before his eyes are even fully open
at the sight of you, Xue Yang’s own teary eyes meet your surprised stare,
he’s frozen at the sight of his blade pointed at you
but you are calm, undeterred,
gentle as you lower his hand, remove the weapon and place it to the side
your actions are slow, deliberate, even the hand that lands softly on his face
at your warm palm on his face, Xue Yang deflates against the headboard, hands coming up to over lap and hold your
little does he know that he doesn’t have to hold to you,
when you would never leave him anyways

safe in your arms - mdzs character hcs
mdzs characters reaction when you faint from exhaustion 
ₓ˚. ୭ ˚○◦˚.˚◦○˚ ୧ .˚ₓ
Lan Xichen
you have always looked beautiful teaching, that to Xichen is undeniable,
but Xichen worriedly picks up on the small tell-tale signs of your exhaustion,
the slight tremor in your hand that you hide in your sleeves,
the way that your eyes close slightly in between the short breaks when your students are reading
Xichen barely waits for the student’s dismissals to come into the hall, almost barreling into you as you try to leave
“y/n,” Xichen calls you, catching your arms
“i need to stop by the library,” you tell him, 
and he knows that you’re using the work voice with him,
“y/n,” Xichen tries again, blocking your path
he knows how important that this new teaching position at Cloud Recess is to you,
but he can’t rest easy knowing (clearly seeing) that you have not been taking care of yourself
your eyes land on Xichen’s face, and he watches your face ease a few tense lines 
“i’m fine,” you reassure, 
and Xichen doesn’t buy it for one bit,
“let me accompany you then,” Xichen tries,
and you let out a sigh, about to retort to him
perhaps the sharp way that you had looked up had been too fast
but either way, your vision suddenly tunnels
Xichen’s arms wrap around your immediately, bringing your swaying form close to his chest
your hear his sigh above you as you get your bearings back, 
slowly notice the tight, scared way that you’re holding onto his robes, 
“come back with me,” Lan Xichen tells you as his arms wrap around his shoulder in a hug,
‘time to rest, i won’t allow any more work,’ you know he means
and really you never knew your limits very well
so it’s a blessing to have someone like Xichen
how knows you better than yourself
ₓ˚. ୭ ˚○◦˚.˚◦○˚ ୧ .˚ₓ
Song Lan
your sword wavers, ever so slightly as you bring it back to your side
you feel tired,
“it’s completely gone,” Song Lan reassures,
 you make to nod when your vision swims,
Song Lang notices immediately, 
reaches out to grab you, pull you close to him before he could second guess himself
your knees give in fast, and Song Lan holds you upright, surprised voice breaking out into the night
“y/n,” Song Lan breathes, the warmth from your body muted, almost as if you’d been suppressing it for a while
with you leaned against him, the pin pricks of close contact move their way up his arms and shoulders
but he ignores his own discomfort, lifting your robe sleeves to the sight of red, 
small but clearly dangerous,
poison scratched onto your hand
Song Lan looks down at you, hears your strained breathing and decides that this can’t wait,
he quickly maneuvers your arms around his neck, and lifts your legs up in a quick bridal carry
“try to hold on for a few minutes, we’ll go back to the inn” Song Lan says, a reassurance that only he himself hears
your eyes fully close and your arms draped around his shoulders loosen
this close he gets a clear scent of dew and dirt from the night hunt
and a clearer scent of something so distinctively you
ₓ˚. ୭ ˚○◦˚.˚◦○˚ ୧ .˚ₓ
Xiao Xingchen
when your hand suddenly tightens in the crook of his elbow, 
Xingchen stops, worry churning in his stomach
perhaps he should have been more attentive to you during this long journey
had pushed to the back of his mind, 
the stumbling steps,
and late night talks
and days without a proper meal
all the days you had simply answered, “it’s okay,” to the hardships, because at the very least your didn’t have to endure it alone
Xingchen turns to you, having become much better at pinpointing exactly where you are
grabs your hand, to steady you,
steady himself
“y/n,” he calls to you 
he’s surprised by the sharp downward pull of your hand and realizes with a start that you are falling, 
Xingchen wraps his arms around you, lowering you to the ground 
the path that they are taking is deserted anyways, so he doesn’t believe many will mind that you both are stopped as you are in the middle,
“i’m sorry...just need a moment,” 
Xingchen’s brows furrow at your apology, and he reaches out to find you, hands patting slowly from your connected hands up to your shoulders,
his hand comes up to cup your face, startling slightly at the warmth there,
“why didn’t you tell me you had a fever,” Xingchen asks, later on when you both are sat in the shadow of a large tree a little ways up the path, 
“i didn’t want to delay you,” you respond honestly, voice breathy even though you are leaned in his arms 
i would wait for you, Xingchen finds himself thinking immediately,
but not yet quite saying

droplets - mdzs character hcs
how these mdzs characters would wash your hair for you
.・゜゜・  ・゜゜・.
Lan Xichen
very gentle about it, because he knows that you’re only letting him wash your hair because you need the help
 a broken finger is never a fun ordeal
but luckily it is on it’s way to healing soon, with such lovely care
but anyways, back to the hair washing
all gentle and firm fingers, massaging until all the soapy suds are out
and your shampoo if wafting up to him, 
he’s especially attentive with putting the conditioner correctly and throughly in your hair
maybe because he just likes the feeling of soft strands on his fingers
and overall a great time with this man
will also offer to blow dry your hair for you as well
and you can’t ask for anyone better
.・゜゜・  ・゜゜・.
Nie Mingjue
it will be quite the learning process with him
he’ll be frustrated first with how you’ll sit in the tub and how he’ll sit to reach the water and that takes a good 15 minutes
then the water temperature
“that’s too hot! it’ll burn your scalp” when you tell him to warm the water a little more
and then how much shampoo and how much conditioner and what not
but after that, in the settled quietness of him just rubbing the products into your hair
he’s a lot more gentle than you expect him to be
not that Mingjue isn’t gentle, you know very well his softness when it comes to you
but he massages every spot on your head (and down to your neck) as if to map every place of ease for you
you’ll probably learn the reason why some time later on
but for now,
he washes as dilligently as he can
get’s a little bit of soap into your eyes
and a bit of water into your ears
but his effort, you appreciate tenfold

sharing is caring - mdzs character hcs
which mdzs characters would steal your food (ft. my recent obsession)
♥*♡∞:。.。  。.。:∞♡*♥
Wei Wuxian
his mouth was completely uninvited from where it was right now
snagging a clean bit right off of the chicken wing that you were about to take a bite of
“oi! Wei Wuxian!” you let out a distraught shout, furrowing your eyebrows as you watch your companion lean back into the couch seat, happily eating the stolen piece of chicken
at the call of his name, Wei Wuxian barely flinches, 
seeming proud even,
“stolen food tastes way better,” Wei Wuxian comments and you roll your eyes at him, 
though you kinda get what he means
when you steal the french fry he’s about to eat right before it reaches his lips
and when Wei Wuxian lets out the same surprised call of your name, 
you only innocently smile back
♥*♡∞:。.。  。.。:∞♡*♥
Nie Huaisang
definitely a sneaky food stealer sort of person
like you wouldn’t realize that all the food is gone until it’s actually gone
“hey weren’t there like 2 chocolates left?” you ask when you return to the couch
Huaisang only shrugs,
though out of the corner of your eye
you see his cheeks moving in an ever so slight chew
“hey! you ate one of mine!” you say
and though Huaisang wants to deny it, he has the chocolate in his mouth so he can only shake his head wildly as you attack him with prods and tickles 
♥*♡∞:。.。  。.。:∞♡*♥
Wen Ning
don’t be fooled by his docile nature,
because there is little that he wouldn’t do for good chicken
more specifically korean fried chicken
“rock paper scissors for it,” you immediately say, when there’s only one piece of chicken left in the box
Wen Ning complies,
and though he was leading in the first 2 tries, you suddenly beat him the last two times
and a tie breaker’s needed now
“ha! paper! i win!” you yell triumphantly, 
though it doesn’t seem to matter when Wen Ning takes the last piece of chicken and pops it right in his mouth
and though your pout is cute
you end up being chicken-less

dream a little dream - jiang bros hcs
jiang bros carrying you to bed
✧・゚: *✧・゚:*  Wei Wuxian  *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
Wei Wuxian had never quite liked to sleep early,
finding his ideas flowing the best in the late hours of the night
Wei Wuxian is used to the tightness that sometimes accompanies his eyes on long nights of scroll reading,
drafting this, drawing that
and with you to bounce ideas off,
it is easy for the hours of night to pass and blend away, 
for so much discourse and thoughts that make him wish that sleepiness were not a human feeling
but alas it is,
and when Wei Wuxian had returned to the room with a new warm brew of tea, 
with the intent of continuing his late night talk with you
he finds you fast asleep, head pillowed on arms that had finally given up the weight of holding your head up for the past hour or so
(Wei Wuxian knew you had been sleepy, but somehow, loves the sight of you almost reanimated as you talk about new to cultivation techniques and everything he had always been curious about)
Wei Wuxian is quiet when he approaches your sleeping form, tempted to shake you awake
a small probe of your shoulder, tells him that you are truly deeply, asleep
judging from the greyish hues of the sky,
it would be morning soon anyways
Wei Wuxian turns back to you, curious as to how you could possibly be comfortable
and before he really thinks about it (thinks too much about it)
he maneuvers your sleeping form into his arms,
your head falls onto his shoulder, fitting right under his chin like you were always meant to fit there, 
and your breath is soft and warm as he carries you the few short steps to place you on the bed in the other room,
Wei Wuxian watches with a funny kind of fondness when you snuggle into the pillows as he pulls the blankets higher up on your chin
finds that when he returns to sit at his table and closes his eyes
he sees you in his dreams
✧・゚: *✧・゚:*  Jiang Cheng  *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
above you both, the sky stretches out like a dark blanket,
bits of embedded stars glimmer 
and the world seems so vast in this moment
it is a sight to behold
and the day’s tiredness bleeds away from his shoulders,
when Jiang Cheng sits at the open port,
with you leaning close to him,
staring up at the same sky
you, the person that had always extended a hand to him,
tried to see what he was seeing,
what he meant,
the person that always met him in the middle,
even at times, when he didn’t always walk towards you
you never gave up on him
and it was a gradual but deep reassurance
that came over him like the way snow falls to the ground
“i love you,” Jiang Cheng says, a testament, a confession that finally comes out of his mouth after years and years 
Jiang Cheng says it in a bit of an absent way, only because he doesn’t know how you react,
scared that everything will change with this one step too far
but when Jiang Cheng hears nothing, and turn to the side
he only see you, eyes closed, head resting warmly on the side of his shoulder
it makes him smile despite himself, 
and although the night sky is beautiful, the changing seasons make the evening a bit colder than usual
so even though you don’t hear those words from him (yet)
you receive an action with the same meaning,
his arms coming up to gently cradle you, and carry you away from the ports back to you room,
where each step is quiet, mindful, not to wake you
and when he tucks you under the covers, it is with more care than anyone has ever expected of him
but you (only you) know
that Jiang Cheng has more than enough love
more than most would know

listen close - mdzs character hcs
these mdzs characters singing to you 
♬♩♪♩  ♩♪♩♬
Lan Wangji
obviously, Wangji is very musically talented
that is an undeniable fact
you always enjoyed watching Wangji playing on the guqin
not only because he looks so elegant, serene
but also of how beautifully he’s always been able to bring music to people
in battle, he is all precision with his notes
in healing, his melodies wash away pain like water, 
when serenading you,
well
the music that enters your ears,
always touches your heart
you can feel the amount of time that he put in to compose the music for you,
and when you find yourself singing 
with words that match the same longing
because making music together,
being in love, with one another
was what music meant to both of you
♬♩♪♩  ♩♪♩♬
Jiang Cheng
it is a hum, soft, barely there
but you have always been good at listening where Jiang Cheng goes unheard
besides it’s easy to listen for such a sound
when you are lying by the port, head pillowed on a warm lap,
where the lake side breeze and afternoon sun warms everything just right
and the air is tinged with the distant business of everything
but still quiet and peaceful enough
to feel as if in a place all your own
Jiang Cheng’s hum accompanies you in your dreamland,
not quite yet pulled into a deep sleep
but lulled enough to be relaxed, completely enamored 
Jiang Cheng rarely ever sings to you fully
he’s quite shy about his voice (reason 1)
but in the instances that he does,
the deep baritone lowness of his voice, above the splashes of water
is simply
perfect

Can you do ickies but junior version?
aw yea; i’m glad you liked the first one!
i think the juniors are babies themselves, so this will be fun to write. i am picturing this in our canon au!
(the "ickies" hc in reference found here)
enjoy~
ˑ༄ؘ ۪۪۫۫ ▹▫◃ ۪۪۫۫ ༄ؘ ˑ
Lan Sizhui
you were both on shared baby-sitting duties,
the little child, your cousin, bouncing happily in your lap
and the sight of you playing with the little boy,
the smile on your face
and the way that the child’s eyes light up with each song that you sing
makes Sizhui’s heart swell so much
that he can’t help but lean over and place a gentle kiss on your cheek
it startles you 
a happy surprise
when you turn to look at him, still bouncing the little boy in your arms, you’re a little winded by the pure look of love when your eyes lock
you find yourself gravitating to him naturally, though this time you place a kiss right on his nose
it is clear that you both want to kiss each other very much
but there was a child, 
and said child, sat in the middle of you both, has his hands covering his eyes, ears red just like a certain Lan
Lan Jingyi
the giggling around you is what makes you both break away from the kiss
first out of curiosity
then settled embarrassment
even as a senior disciple now,
Lan Jingyi was not as intimidating as his title
especially when he was caught kissing you
“jie-jie and ge-ge sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g” the young Lan disciples sing song in a circle around you, making faces and laughing as Jingyi huffs and tries to get them to settle down
the blush on your face is high and red,
you can’t help but take your long robes and cover your face with your hands
at the sight of you, Jingyi simply laughs louder,
can’t hide the smile on his face
he ignores all the teasing and pointing from the younger disciples to take you into his arms,
to let you hide your face in his chest
wrapped so tightly in his hug does little to help the redness on your cheeks
but you don’t leave his arms anyways
Jin Ling
the taste of the hawthorn candies is sweet on your lips,
and Jin Ling’s hand is where it cradles your face
and clearly kissing on the sidelines of a marketplace is not really the place to be
but Jin Ling couldn’t help it,
not when your lips were shiny from the coating of the caramelized sugar
not when your eyes were lit up little a child at the very first bite
not when you looked absolutely adorable
“ge, is that how you’re supposed to eat the candies?” 
the little girl’s voice is genuinely curious, pointing at the sight of you and Jin Ling, lips locked near the candy stand
the taller boy cringes, pats the little girl’s head as he takes her hand to lead her away
“no, that’s how adults eat them”
Ouyang Zizhen
Zizhen’s lips had always been a distraction to you
but when he’s kissing you,
it completely makes you forget about everything else
it’s the loud gagging noise near by that makes you break away from Zizhen’s lips
even then, he still chases after your lips naturally
and you have to catch his face with your hands to get him to open his eyes again
you both turn to the side to see none other than your younger cousins,
when the six year olds meet your eyes, the boys proceed to make even more exaggerated puking and grossed out sounds 
and you huff at them, ready to go and give them lecture,
when your boyfriend’s arms wrap around your waist,
hold you back,
hold you close
his breath is warm where it tickles your neck,
“let’s go somewhere a little more private,”
and you can’t help but follow

Hey, I have no idea if I'm doing this correctly but can you please write how XY, JGY, JC and XXC would behave with a really close friend or even a s/o who is extremely caring?
you can skip this if you feel uncomfortable writing abt this subject, please take care of yourself!
this is cute! i’ve actually written a very similar request for meng yao that you can find here
i’ll be adding on the other characters now!
enjoy~
+*:ꔫ:*﹤  ﹥*:ꔫ:*+゚
Xue Yang
Xue Yang remembers everything that happens to him for the first time
and right now, 
sat under a naked tree on a hot, sweltering afternoon
with you’re leaned in front of him, 
dabbing the sweat from his brow
Xue Yang remembers
he watches you,
the funny concentration that you have on your face,
the way you have your sleeve wrapped up with the inside out, the softer material showing
how you use it to dab, almost feather light at his brow
Xue Yang blinks languidly, as your robe sleeve travels down his face, right under his chin to catch another drop of perspiration
when you share your water with him soon after,
Xue Yang has already engrained the scent of you
where your robe sleeves had lingered against his face
Jiang Cheng
it is just a graze, nothing that could have caused him immediate danger
but perhaps, because there was such a large stain of blood on his side, from carrying an inner disciple home
and the hems of his purple robes were splattered with mud and dirt
that you had acted the way that you did,
it is just a graze on his shoulder, 
where the bird demon had swooped in for a kill that it didn’t finish
it was nothing serious
but you look close to crying as you open the ointment to apply on his wound 
“i can do it myself,” Jiang Cheng begins but you simply ignore him, as you’ve gotten very good at 
you’re just his assistant, his personal assistant, but nonetheless still
perhaps he’d been too soft with you
“you can’t reach this anyhow,” you tell him softly, going to sit behind him 
he feels you lower the top of his robes,
just enough 
and then the coolness of the balm, and the delicate way that your fingers spread it against the burning wound
it is just a graze, 
but with the care and gentleness that he receives from you
he already feels better tenfold
Xiao Xingchen
Xingchen had always done everything by himself,
as a rogue cultivator, that was his lifestyle
as of recently becoming blind,
he only had his other senses to rely on 
Xingchen has not been cared for in a long time
because he could take care of himself just fine
yet when you stumble into his life,
a rogue cultivator injured, picked up on the way
and somehow simply chose to stay
Xingchen finds someone to rely on for the first time
and ever since he’s been blind, Xingchen had always changed the wrapping of his wounds himself
but on a foggy morning, 
where the sky is grey and little light peaks through
Xingchen beckons your help
and though he should feel vulnerable as you untie the white wrapping around his eyes and see his scars, his hurt
he doesn’t
just feels warm at the gentleness that you use as you change the wrapping,
the softness of your skin as your fingers brush against his cheek
and begins to get used to how your hand lingers at the back of his head

friendly critters - mdzs character hcs
these mdzs characters when there’s a spider in your room
*:..。o○  ○o。..:*゚ 
Wei Wuxian
screaming about it 
the moment that he got home and saw you perched on the table
far from the blob on the wall
he’s running to your side with the loudest scream, even though the spider is not anywhere near him
“my hero,” you can’t help but sarcastically note as Wei Wuxian joins you in the table that you’re currently on top of
you blow a breath out of your mouth, summon your courage and take the broom that you’ve been holding
sweep it against the corner of the wall where the spider is
it skitters a few haste steps
you both scream
and honestly, new apartment vibes
it’s a bit embarrassing to admit but you both spend the afternoon hostage on the table in your own apartment
luckily Jiang Cheng pays a visit later on
and he’s fussing calling you both babies
but at least the spider’s gone
*:..。o○  ○o。..:*゚ 
Lan Wangji
you would all think that he would have a calm time removing it 
i think he’d be a little worried about it escaping the little contraption that he made to capture it 
but as a Lan, 
the cringe from his side is only barely noticeable
you hide behind him the whole time,
until the very second that he flings the little critter out from the plastic cup out the window,
with less grace than you had expected
but honestly, it’s a spider
so you don’t hold it against him
“thank you,” you tell him, finally letting out a breath of relief now that the spider was far far away 
now you could finally get back to work in peace
only, just as you’re turning away
you feel a tug on your arm
you look up to see Lan Wangji giving his cheek to you,
“thank me,” you hear him saying, surprisingly coy
and you make a face at him, but press a quick peck on his cheek before quickly leaving
and Lan Wangji smiles, the smallest of lifts at the edge of his lips
*:..。o○  ○o。..:*゚
Nie Huaisang
screaming about it 2.0
“you go kill it!” you tell Huaisang, pushing him 
“you saw it first!” Huaisang childishly retorts, pushing you
“you’re closer to it!” you yell
and it becomes a little back and forth of you pushing each other on the couch
and you don’t know how long this goes on for exactly,
but when Huaisang nearly pushes you hard enough to fall off the couch,
your head turns to catch the empty spot by the window sill, 
spider nowhere to be found
“it’s gone,” you comment, 
and Huaisang follows your stare,
lets out the biggest sigh of relief and actually deflates on the couch next to you
you hurry to close the window, taking your chances
“phew that was so tiring,” Huaisang says and you can’t help but roll your eyes at him
“you didn’t even do anything!” 
“it was scary alright!”
and alas commence your normal bickering

Heyyy, hope your having an amazing day. Can I request a story where Lan Xichen got drunk and is flirting with the reader and being all cute and stuff? Thank you.
omo, we’re really going ham with the drunk aus now aren’t we lol
but i have to say: drunk lan xichen is a great lan xichen
presenting, your request (in canon au)
。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆   。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆
“y/n-ah”
“hmm,” you hum, nonchalantly to your companion, 
you, walking gently side by side with Lan Xichen, shrouded in moonlight 
seemed like the perfect romantic atmosphere
if only for the fact that your sect leader was completely drunk
like, it’s really a blessing, that he’s still on his own two feet
“woah woah there,” you comment, grabbing onto Lan Xichen’s arms as the graceful sect leader actually trips on the paved road
“hehe, i did that on purpose,” Lan Xichen comments, smiling down at you
his cheeks are flushed a cute shade of red
you can only shake your head at him, placing a guiding hand on his arm as you both make the long, arduous trek up the Cloud Recess steps
because there was no way in hell 
that you both would be able to sword fly up there,
as you’re looking forlornly at the amount of steps 
you hear Lan Xichen’s iconic giggle beside you,
“what?” you turn and ask him, because the steps were already so hard on it’s own 
but now with the addition of a drunk man, 
it was going to be difficult
Lan Xichen simply laughs, swaying into your before you both can even take the first step,
“Sect Leader!” 
“y/n-ah, y/n-ie, so cute my cute little disciple,” Lan Xichen sing songs, and you’re stumbling with him up two steps, eight steps from the first landing 
“yeah, i’m such a great disciple, aren’t i?” you can’t help but be sarcastic, because you hadn’t expected to accompany your sect leader to this extent
and also because, he would always just see you as the senior disciple of his sect
just a disciple
“as my favorite favorite most cherished disciple, we must sword fly together,” Lan Xichen announces when you both have taken very heavy and very long steps up to the first out of the hundreds (practically) of landings that you still have to get to
Cloud Recess was really high and you were just beginning to realize that now
“Zewu-Jun, you are drunk,” you can’t help but deadpan, because even though you really want to just hop on the sword and fly up
balance is not something that you can manage with your Sect Leader right now
“not drunk, happy. and not Zewu-Jun, Xichen,” Lan Xichen corrects you, sways out of your hold to kick his sword down,
 “well, Zewu-Jun-”
“Lan XiCHEN” your sect leader corrects, loudly 
“-Xichen, I don’t think this is a good idea,” you protest, because if the esteemed Sect Leader got hurt or broke his neck on your watch you were very well dead meat
“I have very good ideas, especially now, c’mon” Lan Xichen says
and you want to protest again but Lan Xichen grabs your arm, pulls you into him as his sword automatically takes off
you hate it here
hate that the rush of the wind is so much faster with Zewu-Jun’s blazing core, wild and crazy from the alcohol in his system
you hate that even the coolness of the fresh air can’t stop your cheeks from burning
hate yourself for loving the small space between you both so much 
you’re even more surprised when Zewu-Jun’s sword lands smoothly (somehow) at the Hanshi, 
and even though you both are no longer on his sword,
your Sect Leader does not let you go
“my disciple, my littlest tiny disciple y/n,” Lan Xichen says, holding you in a way that is definitely breaking more than ten rules on the Wall of Discipline
“Sect Leader,” you burst out, pushing away from him to give yourself space
because your heart was thunderously beating in your chest 
and you hate that you can’t stop yourself from falling in love with someone you could never have
you turn away from him for a moment, laying your hand on your heart
“y/n!” 
you take a deep breath, turn around just to see Lan Xichen again, but this time, 
“pong pong!”
he’s tilted his head to the side, making this shoot motion with his hands that morphs into hearts
heart guns~
“take all of my love! all for you!” Lan Xichen giggles, continues doing so many weird abstract motions that represents hearts as best as he can
you watch, this man, this sect leader of yours giggling like a child,
and in the pretense of his forgetfulness tomorrow
you accept all of his hearts, his love
just this once

what to say - mdzs characters hcs
what arguing with these sect leaders will be like
.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.
Lan Xichen
this probably won’t happen a lot 
but disagreements happen 
and they tend to happen when Lan Xichen either
makes decisions on your behalf
or thinks that he knows what’s best for you 
“you know how much attending this conference will mean to me,” you start the moment that he gets back from his meetings for the night
and your confrontation about him declining the invitation to the cultivation conference was long time coming
he’d just thought that you’d wait a bit, like idk maybe tomorrow morning to talk about it
since today had been long enough,
“there will be other conferences that we will be invited to,” Lan XIchen answers, ignores your irritated huff as he changes into his sleeping robes
“none that will have all the best swordsman and cultivators as this one,”
“the venue is not safe, dangerous,” Lan Xichen tells you, turning around to meet your annoyed glare,
“i can handle myself perfectly fine,”
“i don’t feel comfortable putting you in harms way,”
“i won’t be-”
“who knows y/n? i don’t want to take that chance,” Lan Xichen suddenly interrupts,
maybe it’s because he’d been using all of his energy today to be amicable among the older haughty sect leaders in his meetings 
maybe he hadn’t had time to catch a breath all day
but when Lan Xichen snaps at you like that, your mouth clamps shut 
you think he doesn’t believe in your cultivation skills
Xichen just doesn’t want to risk you getting hurt
and you stomp over to the bed, laying close to the wall your back turned to him
though you both start with your backs turned to one another,
by the morning
you aren’t surprised to find yourself waking up in his arms
.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.
Nie Mingjue
arguing with Mingjue not a fun time
when you and him argue with loud voices, 
it’s enough for everyone at the Unclean Realm to hear
and it’s not a shouting match but it’s close to one
but these sort of fights happen pretty often
considering it always boils down to you trying to get him to relax and not overwork himself 
and really the shouting and such isn’t ever serious
serious fights with him
look like low voices,
dark eyes
talking to you where he stands at his clan’s chair and you are standing in the middle of the hall
eyes brimming with tears
Nie Mingjue would not argue with you (seriously) in a loud and brash way
he would be assertive
and solemn
and cold
“your aid is not needed,” 
“how can you say that?” you want to shout at him,
because he was going to go on a night hunt in your old sect’s territory, to fight one of the most ruthless demons 
and he wouldn’t let you come along
“you will stay here, as you always did on night hunts,”
“no one knows the geography of that place better than me, i’ve lived there more than half of my life, mingjue-”
won’t listen to you,
would try to walk out of an argument with you 
but you don’t let him,
“you need me on this,” you tell him, grabbing his arm when he’s trying to leave the main hall
mingjue turns to you, a heavy sigh 
“i need you safe,”
.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.
Jiang Cheng
fighting with Jiang Cheng is never fun
it’s loud
Jiang Cheng’s natural disposition was already someone with a very limited patience
so when you and him don’t get along on an idea
it doesn’t take long for it to become a shouting match
fighting with Jiang Cheng is not pretty,
and usually leads to fumed stomping off,
or sleeping with your backs facing one another for a night or two
the little fights are like that
big fights with JIang Cheng don’t tend to happen
but when they do
they are the ones that turn into screaming and pure anger, loss to reason
and there’s really only one thing that can stop them
when Jiang Cheng hears your hiccuping tears after he throws something to the ground, 
it makes him calm himself down immediately
because no matter what it was that he did,
the worse thing he could ever do,
was make you cry
“y/n,” Jiang Cheng calls your name, lowly spinning around just to watch you try to muffle your tears in your robes
and it’s enough for him to take the first steps,
put down his guard first,
“i’m sorry, I was angry, i’m sorry” Jiang Cheng apologizes 
reaches out to hold you when you let him,
and he vows that he won’t ever let you shed tears over him again 
.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.
Jin Guangyao
whenever you and Meng Yao are on different sides of something, it feels as if adds into an invisible rift or boundary ready to swallow you up with it
i have the feeling he’d tend to be a passive aggressive 
like if there was something that you both disagreed on then he’d just push it aside 
the good thing about that was that there wasn’t any fighting per say
the bad thing about that was it gave room for problems and disagreements to build up
so when it comes exploding out of Meng Yao one day while you’re both trying to finish your dinner together
you are 
not surprised at all
but you’re probably a lot more amicable, 
and more straight forward than he is 
you’ve always been more direct than him
and in times when disagreements boiled down to what was happening right now
your direct nature, was needed
and with all the problems and underlying grudges laid out,
with Meng Yao beside you,
you both stick the pieces back together

Your talent for writing is a blessing! It makes my day a bit better reading your content. if your not busy (please take a break if you are) is it ok to request how LXC, JC, WWX and LWJ react to their s/o who is very stoic and cold smile for the first time? Like they never see them smile in canon au? Advance Thank You
hi!
thank you so much for your sweetness 
this such a cute and familiar concept. i’ve feel like i’ve written something similar before for song lan...; if i find that post again i’ll share it here, hehe.
please enjoy this concept with some more characters!
to you~
*:..。o○  ○o。..:*
Lan Xichen
it is not coldness, as much as it is pure seriousness
you didn’t really ever smile 
you were very work oriented, straight forward and focused
so smiling, laughing, stronger (happier) emotions were mostly pushed to the side
not when there was so much work to be done, as the leader and protector that you were 
but in the instance that Lan Xichen catches a smile on your face
that being, when you are giving him a tour of your one of the outer villages of your sect
and a child comes running up to you,
the smile that you give the toddler is absolutely radiant,
so loving, caring
and it isn’t hard to see why the children of your sect love you so much 
watching your serene profile as you pick the young boy up, nudge his cheek as he laughs at you
Lan Xichen knows that you will be a great leader,
and he’s in awe, a little love struck, by the warmth of happiness, spread on your face 
Jiang Cheng
honestly, Jiang Cheng would have just thought that you didn’t know how to smile
your presence at sect leader meetings was similar to the frost on the branches in winter
cold, biting, freezing
you were quiet, serious and rarely ever laughed
which is why the expression that you wear now makes him quite winded
this soft, laid back expression on your face, as you sit with him on one of the higher floors of the shops,
overlooking the riverside port of his town
it is the first time that you have ever accepted an invitation to dine with him, 
working with you, he understood that you rarely ever made time for anything that wasn’t business
he doesn’t know why you’d agree to meet him tonight,
but he’s grateful that you did
“thank you,” he hears you tell him, as you lift the cup of liquor to your lips and down it 
when you put it down, a bit heavy handedly 
he watches this small smile grace your face, a mixture of intoxication and melancholy as you stare at the cup in your hands
Jiang Cheng doesn’t know what to think of your expression
doesn’t think he can ever forget it
Wei Wuxian
Wei Wuxian has never seen you smile
and he didn’t think that he would ever get to 
your natural disposition was quite cold, closed off ever since he met you 
now that he’s known you for a few months,
it is still much the same
though instead of coldness, he understands the serious look you wear is more out of shyness than anything
he’s getting to know your emotions little by little
remembering your squeezed eye and light shout when you’re surprised, or scared
knows the smirk that you sometimes don when he does something stupid 
but still yet to see a full smile 
“c’mon, smile for me, won’t you? it’ll probably help the birds sing,” Wei Wuxian teases you, now that he’s so easily walked over past the line of acquaintance and into friend
and you hate to admit it, but you think of him as a friend too
and it’s after the probably hundredth time that he teases you on your walk that you finally
stop, turn over to him and give him this full blown forced smile, 
and you look like a kid, a five year old
it gets a loud laugh out of Wei Wuxian, one that colors your ears and cheeks red as you quickly stop ahead of him on the dirt path
your face is so bright, so cute even with such a forced smile
and as Wei Wuxian follows your lead,
he gets even more curious, of how bright a real smile would look on you
Lan Wangji
honestly seeing a smile from the Hanguang-Jun himself, was also a feat in and of itself
but where Lan Wangji just usually didn’t smile 
you, yourself, didn’t like to smile
and it was the oddest idea that Lan Wangji had ever come across, ever since you had told him about it,
“people won’t take me seriously if i smile,” you had said, when the topic comes along after a long night of scroll reading and advisement and boring work
and that had been the end of that
you don’t smile, at all, ever really and keep that little bit of yourself secret
until a few months down the line of your friendship with Lan Wangji
when he finally sees you smile, 
he is quite taken back
because you look so happy, carefree from your normal seriousness,
it throws Wangji for a small loop
and he thinks maybe the real reason why you don’t smile
is because any one who saw it would be so easily distracted, smitten
Lan Wangji knows he himself is, 
from the first look 
“why are you looking at me like that?” you ask him, looking away from the bunny you’re bouncing in your arms for a moment
Lan Wangji simply stares,
doesn’t quite respond

weekday series (sunday)
a mdzs character each day of the week
lazy sundays with jiang cheng
sometimes, 
when the quiet around you is just right,
the sun light is filtering softly through the open window, 
and the warmth in his arms is just perfect
Jiang Cheng doesn’t want to leave the bed
even when it’s well into the late hours of the morning
“at this rate we’ll miss lunch with your brother,” you mumble, your hand warm where it’s laid on his chest
you both had been awake for hours already,
but laying with you in his arms
and the scent of your hair, tickling his chin
Jiang Cheng hadn’t wanted to move
with both of your busy schedules throughout the whole week,
him in his intern at the law office
you with your grad school work and classes
moments like this when you both get to lay next to each other like this,
warm
were hard to come by
“still sleepy,” Jiang Cheng says, turning to pull you even deeper into his arms, as if that were possible
you can’t help but laugh with his movements,
snuggling in close
falling so easily for his persuasion
“wei wuxian is going to be so mad at you,” you tease him, one final reminder of your appointment
“hmm, he’ll finally have that date with lan wangji that he always wanted,” jiang cheng replies 
and you actually laugh out loud
the breath that you puff out against his thin shirt,
warm, 
happy
spurs him to place a kiss against the crown of your head
you both don’t leave each other’s arms for the rest of the day
