Lan Jingyi gets one (1) hug from Jiang Cheng when he gets slammed into the ground during a hunt, Jiang Cheng is so relieved that he didn’t kill one of Jin Ling’s only friends that he immediately just grabs him and hugs him as tightly as he would Jin Ling.

Lan Jingyi is stunned, blown away, absolutely astounded and he gets why the Jiang Disciples are in love with Sandu Shengshou now. He’s never been hugged so tightly and enveloped completely and he has to assume that’s what being hugged by a bear feels like (WWX snickers that’s NMJ’s hug would probably kill him) he doesn’t want to leave, he’s half ready to go almost die again.

He’s already holding out his arms and in his best I’m-Jin-Ling’s-Friend-Therefore-I-am- Nephew-Voice asking “Hug Jiujiu?”

Lan Sizhui and Jin Ling are holding him back, Sizhui’s insisting that Hanguang-Jun will be there to save him soon, Jin Ling’s saying to stop trying to hog his uncle. Zizhen is standing beside Jiang Cheng and offering him a pastry and cementing himself as Jiang Cheng’s favorite. (Jiang Cheng doesn’t know what’s going on, he’s just turned off his ears, as long as they’re not dying he doesn’t care)

Jingyi is almost uncontrollable when Hanguang-Jin arrives. Until Lan Wangji lays a hand on his shoulder and murmurs “Good job”

Jingyi calms instantly, eyes shining up at Lan Wangji. Lan Sizhui sighs a breath of relief, Jin Ling screeches because “HOW DARE YOU TURN ON MY UNCLE SO EASILY?!?” Zizhen offers Jiang Cheng another cake. Wei Wuxian is on the ground laughing, he is the only one who understands.

#jiang cheng #the untamed #mdzs #Lan Jingyi #Wei Wuxian #hanguang jun #lan wangji #lan zhan #jin ling #lan sizhui #ouyang zizhen #Jingyi does however keep asking for hugs whenever he sees Jiang Cheng #if he’s not busy Jiang Cheng will in fact give him one and #within an hour Jin Ling usually shows up to ask for two hugs so Jingyi will ask for three and so on #Jiang cheng usually cuts them off at two because he has shit to do but he will let them chatter at him and say if their #ideas are stupid or not which is great because Hanguang Jun usually just goes ‘mn’ and then they get yelled at by sizhui for being stupid #this cuts out the middle man and Sizhui isn’t sure what he’s supposed to do with life if their pranks are suddenly smart #zizhen can get absolutely all the hugs he wants he’s JCs favorite and if JL doesn’t get married soon then JC will marry them together #Hanguang Jun is actually Lowkey offended but when Wei Wuxian told him to go hug Zizhen and Jin Ling he decided that JC could hold that titl #LWJ will instead hold the title for the COOLEST person who lets them do stupid shit #WWX can’t believe he’s the voice of reason (he really isn’t all that often) and just pretends to whine

night hunt shenanigans, junior quartet hcs

i’ve always had this funny imagining that if i ever were a cultivator of sorts i’d like to have my musical cultivation weapon be the pipa (please look up this beautiful instrument you don’t already know what it is!)

so you’re a badass cultivator with a pipa i live vicariously through you

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。. .・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

.･:*:･ﾟ’✫,’✫’ﾟ･:*:･˙

Lan Sizhui

it happened before you knew it

and really you would have never done what you just did if you didn’t have to

but the fierce corpse had lunged at you mid strum and you had moved your pipa over your head to block its slash

the horrible sound that it’s arm made on your strings was physically painful

you spin to get your foothold, getting your instrument sturdy in your arms again before delivering your final blow

your blue opal light shoots out beautifully, knocking the last few fierce corpses

and then,

you fall to your knees

the fierce corpses are taken care of

when Sizhui looks up and see you, his heart stutters in his chest at the thought of you hurt

he quickly runs over to you, and going to his knees when he’s close enough

he’s even more fearful when he sees a tear roll down your cheek

“let me check; where are you hurt?” Sizhui coaxes you, worried that there might have been a curse or anything worse

you shake your head and Sizhui’s head runs wild with any ideas of the injuries that you could have gotten

the rest of your friends run over and Zizhen kneels besides you, laying a hand on your shoulder

“if you’re hurt like this, we can’t stay here. let’s go-”

“it’s not me,” you finally say, and lift your hunched form from the top of your instrument

one of your pipa strings is broken, lying limply in your hand

Sizhui’s glad that you’re not hurt, but with the look on your face, anyone would have thought that you’d been stabbed

Sizhui takes a deep breath, feeling the relief spreading through him as you talk

“look what happened to my baby” you hiccup out, and touch your instrument, hand gently running over the light nick that the fierce corpse had made on the body of the pipa

Sizhui sighs at you

anyone with a musical cultivation weapon knew that pain

“it’s alright, y/n, Jin Ling can buy you new strings, right?” Jingyi says as the volunteered sect leader splutters

but then Sizhui watches you look up at Jin Ling with your puppy eyes and he knows its over

so when a small teary eyed smile graces your face, Sizhui feels slightly better

.･:*:･ﾟ’✫,’✫’ﾟ･:*:･˙

Lan Jingyi

the sound of the pipa had always sounded beautiful, but under your hand it sounds hauntingly so

tonight, there is a light breeze that blows your hair in just the right direction, all the time

it’s unfair really, normally everyone would look like a mess when they were fighting

but you were never really normal in any way

from your beauty to your skilll

and also you all were in the middle of a god damn heist

“Jingyi!”

he doesn’t even realize the situation that he’s in until the air is quiet without your playing

the blade of a knife presses coolly against the column of his throat

Jingyi’s never felt scared before, but when he looks at you...

you’re standing on the roof of the abandoned house overlooking the courtyard that you both are in, wind blowing your hair as your hold your musical weapon

you’re standing against the moonlight, so the shadows cover the expression on your face

“don’t do anything rash” Sizhui’s voice picks up and Jingyi’s eyes fall to his best friend, sword hilt pointed at the rogue that holds Jingyi hostage

“drop the weapons” Jingyi hears the deep voice from behind him and the blade presses a bit closer than before

JIngyi doesn’t even dare to swallow

Sizhui keeps his eye leveled with the man

and that was the rogue’s first mistake

he’s too busy making sure that Sizhui’s dropped the weapon that he’s forgotten about you

and in the spilt second that Sizhui has lowered his sword, you pluck out a deafening high pitched note

the mechanics of your instrument allow you to shoot out a precise dart from the pipa and the rogue doesn’t even have a moment to react

Jingyi’s eyes widen at the whiz that passes by his ear, with how closely the dart landed to his own neck

the rogue falls unconscious to the floor just as you are flying down from the roof

Sizhui is the first to get to Jingyi checking on him and how he is

but Jingyi’s eyes are stuck on you

at the graceful way that you land

how even when you run, your free flowing hair is so naturally buoyant and unaffected by the havoc of fights

and when you reach him he sees your mouth moving

but he doesn’t really hear a single thing

and well, it doesn’t matter

he wouldn’t mind having you save him again.

.･:*:･ﾟ’✫,’✫’ﾟ･:*:･˙

Jin Ling

the demon lunges at him and Jin Ling flies back

his landing isn’t as smooth as he had planned and he nearly loses his balance

but there’s barely time to right himself again when the demon lunges once more, so close to grabbing him and inflecting its curse

Jin Ling had always known that night hunts were dangerous

but he’s really just realizing that now

perhaps this will be the night hunt that will kill him

his uncle will not be pleased

side tracked by the thought of his family, Jin Ling dodges half a second late and takes a deep scratch on his arm

Jin Ling spins with the force of it, landing on his knees

when he checks himself he sees red; it’s doesn’t look deep, but he’s bleeding enough

perhaps, maybe this is how he dies

his arm stings and Jin Ling can’t find his sword and the demon hovers right there and then-

it screams in front of him

Jin Ling moves back, noticing the opal light that breaks through its shell and subdue it before it drops to the floor like a dead puppet

when Jin Ling looks up, he find himself letting out a sigh of relief

you stand tall, your beautiful pipa in hand as you stare at him with a deadpan look on your face

“who gave you the stupid idea of going on a night hunt by yourself?!” you scream at him in greeting

Jin Ling splutters at you and moves to shield himself when you make a threat of hitting him with some notes on your instrument

but then you hear a wince when he moves his arm

and in the moonlight the red that’s dripping down his arm from his shoulder is clear as ever

“you idiot” you mumble before making your pipa disappear and walking closer to Jin Ling

he still has his injured arm covering his face, scared of you

you sigh at him and take his arm when you’re kneeled in front of him

Jin Ling jolts a little bit at the contact, only opening his eyes when he feels something gently dabbing his wound and wrapping around it

“i’m going to tell your Uncle to break your legs later” you announce, pausing mid-bandaging to lock with his eyes

Jin Ling had thought you had simply been mad at him, but the look in your eyes is tinged with a deep worry that he hadn’t realized he caused

when you look away to focus on his arm, he continues to look at you

he vows to himself then, never to make you worry like that again

.･:*:･ﾟ’✫,’✫’ﾟ･:*:･˙

Ouyang Zizhen

you scan the fight scene from above, perched on a higher on the mountain

your pipa sits in your lap, as you wait for the signal

the plan was for Zizhen to lure the fierce corpses into one place

the rest of your group would trap them

then you would deliver your final blow on the pipa, which would subdue the corpses

everything had been going dandy

until right at the end

because Zizhen was supposed to have been farther away when Jin Ling gave you the signal

but he wasn’t

which is why you hadn’t realized that your 10 Hand Strum Technique would have blown both the fierce corpses and your dear friend back

you only realize when you catch the color of his robes flying in the air

and yea the fierce corpses wouldn’t be an issue anymore

but you’d hurt Zizhen

“shit” you curse and fly down from you post, running along with the rest of your friends to Zizhen’s sprawled form

when you get to Zizhen you quickly drop to his almost unconscious form, turning him over

he’s pretty roughed up from your cultivation technique and you feel so terrible

“why didn’t you wait until Zizhen was further away!” Jingyi shouts at Jin Ling, because it was his fault

and the Jin Sect Leader barely is able to stutter to his own defense when the Lan jumps with his own comments

and the fight is already brewing between the two,

but then as your eyes are raking over Zizhen’s form you feel the smallest grab of your hand

“Zizhen” you breath out, noticing him coming to

quickly, you help him sit up as he opens his eyes

“that’s one hell of a technique you have, y/n” Zizhen comments, breathing deeply as he blinks back the focus to his surroundings

you manage a pained smile, relieved that he’s conscious but still guilty that you had hurt him like this

and even though he’s barely awake Zizhen still notices your face

so he turns to you and pats your hand

“sokay, i’m fine-”

but his own reassurance is cut short when he leaves away from you to cough up a mouthful of blood

you cringe at bit as the rest of the boys gasp, patting his back as he continues to spit out dark red blood

“he’lll be okay once he gets the bad blood out,” you say, somewhat to the group as you pat Zizhen’s back gently

the boys are a bit open-mouthed at your nonchalance

as you’re too busy tending to Zizhen to notice the whispers of your other friends from behind you

“remind me, never to get on y/n’s bad side”

“noted.”
