People pleaser

Requested by anonymous: if you would like to, then i'd like to request lan xichen, lan jingyi, lan sizhui and lan wangji with a soulmate who is huge giver. (if the characters are too much ofc you can chose the one's you'd want but if possible please do include lxc) they are the ones who are very protective, caring, worried and mindful of the characters. the reader goes out of their way to make the characters' days convenient and help them with stuff without even asking. they worry about them a lot and would fight God to make sure their partner is safe and sound. they are usually very stoic and aloof but with the characters they are very soft and caring. thank you!!!

Pairing: Lan boys x reader

Lan Wangji:

you are very friendly and always try to help others

sometimes at your own expenses

Lan Wangji first notices when you start helping him with stuff

it started with fetching books for him that he needed to write some stuff

when he hadn't even asked

then he noticed that you did the same for others

helping them with anything they asked without any questions

which also led to you being swamped with work, most of which wasn't your own

now, Lan Wangji isn't easily angered

until he spots you laying in between sheets of papers

and you look absolutely exhausted

but he doesn't get angry at you and instead he just tries to talk to you about it

he tells you his thoughts and you listen to him carefully

although you don't like saying no to others, you do when you know you already have enough on your hands

and if you don't say no, Lan Wangji will

he doesn't care for being kind to others, he only cares for you

Lan Xichen:

he started dating you partially because of your kindness

now, he never minded you helping others

after all, he usually did the same

but he does start noticing the toll it takes on you

you often went to bed late and you looked more exhausted by the day

but even then, you still made sure that he was fine

helping him with his work, even when he doesn't ask, and you were always there to listen to his rants

and it hurts him to realize that he was somewhat part of the reason for your declining health

he, like his brother, will try to talk to you first

although he has a softer approach

he gently tells you, all while staring at you with the gentle eyes that you had grown to love

and right then and there, you collapse under the weight you had been holding on your shoulders

from then on, he basically forbids you to help him

and he denies your help to others

often with a small smile on his face

not that it is genuine

only you can see his real smile

Lan Jingyi:

Lan Jingyi is not know for helping others purely from good will

usually it has to have a good prize for him

and you are the opposite of that

helping people is basically what you're know for

and people tend to take advantage of such a person

and it annoys Jingyi to no end, because you often don't see it

but he doesn't want to straight up tell you

he's a bit afraid that he'll hurt your feelings

until the final straw

he was on a mission and even though it was only for him and the other juniors in his group

you were there as well

it didn't seem like a big deal to others, but to him it was

because he knew that you weren't that good with a sword

nor in missions

and he knows that you're solely their to help him

next thing he knows, he's yelling at you

and unintentionally hurting you

however, he's quick to stop himself and just as quick to start apologizing

the two of you have a heartfelt conversation

after that, your behavior around helping others takes a small turn

only helping out, but still letting the others do it themselves

and Jingyi can only smile at it

Lan Sizhui:

(another person that's too kind)

both of you are people pleasers

but different kinds of people pleasers

he helped others, but only if he could

you were just unable to say no

which Lan Sizhui knows well enough

usually he steers you away from people that try to get you to help them

he's too kind to call them out for it, but he still makes sure that you don't have to say yes to them

but of course, he isn't always there

he left for one week on a mission

and when he came back, you were utterly exhausted by all the favors you had been doing

you were on the verge of collapsing when you saw him again

which is the first time he also puts his foot down

in a matter of speaking, anyway

he tells you, gentle but firm at the same time

and he makes sure that you understand

and from then on, he is definitely quicker to shut someone down

because he doesn't like seeing you hurt

I'll give a hand

Requested by anonymous: Hello! I see you write for 'The Untamed'! I just started watching it recently, but I'm already in love with the serials! Can I have a request for Lan Zhan? I see that no one has asked for Lan Zhan yet (I think separately): Where the reader (female) is a new student in the Lan clan, she is very smart, kind and helpful, but people avoid her because she is mute. And one day several students break the rule of the Lan clan and start making fun of her...Lan Zhan intervenes, but as soon as she turns to the reader, the reader is long gone, she runs to her room. Lan Zhan came to check on her and found her sitting in the fetal position and crying (she is sensitive when someone makes fun of her for not being able to speak). Lan Zhan knew she was crying, he didn't hear her sob but he could tell by the movement of her shoulders. It's true that Lan Zhan isn't very good at dealing with emotions, but he still tries to help her...

Pairing: Lan Zhan x fem!reader (platonically)

Word Count: 1.6k words

Warnings: bullying, anxiety attack (personal experience, so might not be too accurate for others)

Following Xichen, you couldn't help but stare at your surroundings. The building was beautiful and the surrounding forest was even prettier. You couldn't wait to go and explore everything once you had the chance, but you probably had to wait until you had some free time. Xichen was kind enough to explain your new lifestyle, classes during the day and a curfew at night.

No room to explore, but maybe later.

"This is where you will follow your lessons. After your lessons today, I will bring you to your room. Does that sound good to you?" Xichen nodded and you were quick to nod, trying not to smile too brightly. You didn't have too though, because Xichen could see the sparkle in your eyes and that said plenty. So he led you inside, letting you sit at a table in the back before making his way to the man that sat in the front. They talked for a few seconds before Xichen left again, leaving you in the room with the other students. Some glanced your way, but none of them said something as the lesson started. You paid close attention to the man in front as he started explaining certain things, but you also tried to focus on what the other students said when asked something. It was only two hours, but it felt like two minutes to you. After the man had left, other students approached you and started asking questions left and right. You tried to hear all of them, but it was too much at once and you were starting to get overwhelmed. They noticed and calmed down, asking one question at a time while waiting for your answer.

Your brush flew over the paper as you tried to answer quickly, something that seemed to fascinate the others a bit.

"Are you mute?" One boy asked and your brush slowed down before stopping completely. You looked up before nodding softly, which created an awkward silence around you. They started leaving one by one and soon enough you were alone again.

Your reflection stared back at you, but you didn't recognize yourself in the slightest. Your eyes were red from crying, your hair was a mess from tossing and turning in your bed, and you could see some marks on your arms from digging your nails in. In short, you looked like a mess and all because you cried all evening long. Just because you were lonely, something you never had a problem with and yet now it was the worst thing in the world. It was not the loneliness per se, but rather the fact that everyone avoided you without even trying to hide it. You felt miserable, people avoided you because of something that you were simply born with. You wished you could, every single day you wished and it changed nothing in the end. You'd never be able to say that you loved someone, no matter how hard you tried.

Washing your face with some water, staring back into mirror before grabbing some make-up to cover the redness around your eyes. Then you made your way out, raking your fingers through your hair to tidy it up enough so that you wouldn't be punished. Your outfit looked fine enough, so you only brushed over it with your hands once before ignoring it. No one would notice that you hadn't changed in the last two days, most of your outfits were the same anyway and you honestly couldn't care less at the moment.

"Hey, mute!" A voice rang out, not too loud to catch anyone else's attention. Some people came closer to you, making your anxiety spike up and you flinched as an arm was thrown around your shoulders.

"Still not going to say anything?" One asked and you flinched again as one of them tapped your face a bit too harsh for your liking. Some cackled at you, voices starting to blend as they mocked you. Tears started welling up in your eyes with every word or hit and soon enough, tears started streaming down your face.

"Oh, are you sad? Can't bear the truth, little mute-" The one who spoke was interrupted, gasping softly as he felt the metal of a sword pressed against his neck. All of them dispersed slightly, staring at your rescue in shock.

"Your breaking the rules." He spoke and you could recognize his voice as Lan Zhan's, shocked that the man would even speak up for you. Then again, you doubted that it was for you and rather for the fact that they were being a nuisance. The arm around your shoulder was removed, making your body relax a bit as you stepped away from your bullies.

"Bullying and shouting is forbidden here, so-" You didn't wait for Lan Zhan to finish his sentence as you slowly backed away from everyone while the attention wasn't on you, but soon enough you were sprinting back to your room. Your body was shaking, shivers running up and down your spine as you tried to calm yourself down again. Just like last night, it didn't work as your breaths started to grown shorter and shorter. Your vision started to blur from the tears in your eyes, rolling down your face like waterfalls. You let yourself crash to the ground, ignoring the pain that shot through your legs as you curled up into a ball. Your sobs didn't stop, your whole body still trembling as you tried to calm down the anxiety in your body.

Someone entered, but you couldn't focus on trying to see who it was. They kneeled besides you and a hand laid on your head, softly stroking your hair as they told you too breath slowly. Unfortunately for you, you couldn't calm down until you fainted from exhaustion.

Eyes opening, you tried to ignore how your body felt as you sat up. Taking in your surroundings, you spotted Lan Zhan not far from you. His eyes were on you and even though he never showed much emotion, you could see that he was slightly uncomfortable. You couldn't blame him, after all he was in a girl's room for what you guessed had been a few hours.

"Are you feeling better now?" He asked and you nodded at him slowly, trying to not focus on the pain in your throat that you gained from crying. He nodded as well before standing up, walking your way before sitting down again. His hand went to your forehead and you flinched, which was clearly visible and Lan Zhan paused his movement. His hand remained in place as he waited for you to relax again, placing his hand on your forehead when you did.

"Your temperature is back to normal it seems." He dropped his hand again, but he didn't move from the bed. You waited for him to say something, anything but it never came. You just sat in silence for awhile, trying to ignore the thoughts that swarmed around in your head. Swallowing softly, you winced at how painful your throat felt. Almost like sandpaper that was being dragged through the inside of your throat.

"Ignore those people, listening to them won't change anything." Lan Zhan spoke and you almost wanted to scoff. It was easier said than done, how could you accept something that was clearly a flaw. People didn't need to say something for you to know what they thought, either it was annoyance or pity and you disliked both. But somehow, it didn't feel like that with Lan Zhan's gaze.

When he looked your way, it was usually the same gaze as he gave others. Not a lot of emotions or care about you, but you definitely preferred it over the looks of pity.

Shaking your head, you quickly looked around for some paper and pen. Unfortunately, there was none that was near you and you had a feeling that you could get up just yet. You looked at Lan Zhan again before awkwardly grabbing his hand, tracing letters on his palm with your finger and hoping he would understand.

"I will get you some tea, please wait here." And after that, he was off and you were left alone again. You gently threw your blanket to the side, throwing your legs off the side of the bed before pushing yourself up. Although your legs were weak, you could stand without any problem. You went to your desk, grabbing your paper and a pen.

"I thought I asked you to wait." Lan Zhan said and you nearly jumped out of your skin, surprised at how quiet the man was. The tea was put on the table as Lan Zhan made his way back to you before guiding you back to your bed. You wanted to write down why you moved, but Lan Zhan held his hand out again.

"Don't waist paper and ink." He said and you looked at him before laying down the pen and tracing letters on his hand again. He waited carefully until you finished your sentence, staying silent even when you paused to think of which letters to use. When you finished asking what had exactly happened after you passed out, Lan Zhan turned to you fully.

"You have been asleep for a couple of hours. Xichen-ge knows about this already, you're excused from the lessons tomorrow as well." Lan Zhan explained and you pouted, grabbing his hand again to write that you wanted to follow the lessons. Seeing how eager you were to learn, Lan Zhan could only approve before getting up.

Ever since then, Lan Zhan would always reach out his hand to you so you could speak.
