So xie lian, feng xin, mu qing and san lang (he and xl are a package deal ok) go on some big important mission together assigned by ling wen, right?
It's all vibes and snark and funny haha until Xie Lian somehow gets hurt protecting someone and these three fret over him (some more aggresively than others) because holy shit you got stabbed??? Are you ok???
And xie lian, trying to calm them down, goes "come on, this is just one sword, nothing compared to 100!"
The room gets really, really cold and really quiet all of a sudden and xie lian's features twist in horror as he realizes that he said that out loud and 1) made san lang flashback to probably the worst day of his life as a ghost and 2) now mu qing and feng xin have questions
And xie lian knows he cant get out of this one without answering them
remember that wall slam? done for an art challenge on reddit. Prompt was 'against the wall' but I couldn't decide who of them was going to be against the wall so I did both haha
Follow up for this idea, once LBH is out of the Abyss and he and SQQ have worked out the important stuff- like how much they missed each other and how they should totally kiss and hold hands and all- LBH asks about the System, which has gone back to hiding.
LBH is super frustrated because SQQ is clearly deliberately misinterpreting or avoiding his questions but when he turns to storm off SQQ grabs his arm and really deliberately puts his other hand over his mouth while avoiding eye contact.
LBH: ...you can't tell me can you? You said something about that at the time...
SQQ: ...
LBH: *thinks up the silliest possible thing to say* Clearly this is all Liu Qingge's fault.
SQQ: Pfff... No!
LBH: So you can only tell me when I'm wrong.
SQQ: ...
LBH: Ok I got it.
Once he's got the rules down LBH is gonna find out so much stuff about the System. It's days are numbered.
RIP Airplane when LBH asks about him though.
LBH: Clearly this is all SQH's fault.
SQQ: ... ...
LBH: Wait really??
SQQ: ...That's not... A fair assessment.
LBH: ?????????
SQQ: Don't kill him.
Miles away, minding his own business SQH shudders.
SQH: ... something bad just happened.
The Disabled Tyrant's Beloved Pet Fish book 2 is out!
"I'm happy for his highness."
"Yes, they make a good couple, but"
"I just can't watch them!" say both generals in unison.
"Every time I feel like I'm interrupting something" Mu Qing cringes.
Feng Xin feels good and floaty. The inn where he and Mu Qing stopped to continue their mission after visiting His Highness has really great food . He's glad he talked Mu Qing into taking a couple jars of wine for dinner - it's truly unique in this region. The evening is nice and alcohol put general Nan Yang into a playful mood.
"Gege" Feng Xin speaks in a luscious voice making a face.
"San Lang!" Mu Qing picks up on joke quickly squeaking in an unnatural high-pitched voice.
"Gege.... I have something for you"
"Ah San Lang what is it? my three thousandth portrait? how not creepy of you!"
Feng Xin snickers. "Gege!"
"San Lang!" Mu Qing rises slightly unsteadily from his seat. He is a rare sight: general is giggling, his cheeks scarletred , eyes squinted slightly giving off his drunkenness.
"Gege!" Feng Xin reaches out his hands to the god.
"San Lang!" Mu Qing dramatically falls on his lap and as Feng Xin starts making kissy noises at him he bends in two from laughter . Feng Xin's arm wraps around his waist and instinctively pulls him closer.
Mu Qing is heavy and warm, smelling of some herbs and the wine they have drunk. He is in simple robes and his hair is gathered into a low ponytail today.
Feng Xin stares at him mesmerized, absorbing, memorizing. He's holding himself from doing something gentle, something stupid, run his hand through his hair, stroke his side -
"How are you making this face?" the question takes the god by surprise.
"He looks at him with the exact same expression, hahaha!" Mu Qing continues, starting to get up from the general's lap.
And then Feng Xin snaps.
Imagine a bee rn in a hive muttering "the beekeeper is not real because he is not intervening or helping me at all with this disastrous relationship I have with another bee". now imagine that's you talking about the good lord. now imagine a dog with a propeller hat on
