yiling.


( He had anticipated silence, nightmarish husking, a slaughter of dust and dreams. A vast, unending emptiness of possibility.

Instead, Yiling surprised him: in the wake of the war that toppled the Yiling Patriarch and his restitution thirteen years after, the village has thrived, a convenient settlement at crossed roads. The markets lack exotic produce or sophisticated offerings, but excel in popularity. Those who must eat will have their fill. The roads accept visitors, bandits still banished by the specter of the Patriarch that is said to still manifest against wrongdoers on his grounds. Yunmeng's commerce is, if not wholly restored, then tentatively rejuvenating.

They arrive on lukewarm morning, Yiling clinging to its suffocating humidity even at the turn of seasons. Begging leave of his retinue, the acting sect leader has entrusted Sizhui and Uncle Qiren to watch over the clan — and now only carries their wares, dragging Little Apple by a soft lead. The donkey trots obediently, sparing unconvinced glances each way as if to transmit that it is an animal debased by these surroundings and prefers a hey of higher quality.

They enter the village, well ahead of Wei Ying's distant cave settlement, on foot &dmash; to vocal offers of carrot, winter melon and... of course he buys a bundle of turnips, paying twice the local going rate, and still not half of what might be charged in Jinlintai. Appeased, the old lady that descended on him withdraws, patting her belly, then her thinning basket of goods, because, ah, what a day.

Lan Wangji, trailing after his husband, is still a little aghast and confused after his ambush. )


I believe they like me here. ( Certainly, they like his silver. )

No, no, you have. [He says it softly, but doesn’t think much of it once he’s on his back. He sighs through his nose, letting himself be lured back into kissing his beautiful husband. His hands wander up Lan Zhan’s sides, fingertips pressing into the uneven expanse of skin.

His body’s still young and even though neither is trying to excite, he can’t help but react to the quiet passion. He tilts his head back and enjoys the feeling of his husband’s lips on his skin.
]

Lan Zhan, you haven’t failed in anything. [He lifts his hips up once, just to make it evident that he’s already in the process of being seduced even though they’ve only just recovered from earlier loving.] But if you’re my virgin Hanguang-Jun, then I’ll be the one to seduce you. I could bind you and do all sorts of things to your body until all you know is want and pleasure. Would you like that, Lan Zhan?

[A quiet moan catches in his throat as his hips rise a second time to savor the sweet friction. His mild want easily transforms into fully formed desire under Lan Zhan’s expert kissing. By now, they both know what the other likes in a kiss. Nipping, teasing, tongues battling for dominance - and who is he kidding, Lan Zhan always ‘wins’ in that last category.

He should be considerate and warn Lan Zhan that he should stop now if he doesn’t mean to go the whole way with him a second time this evening.
]

Kiss me. Tell me how you feel about me. Tell me why you want me to go with you to Gusu. Or show me. Get in my face and refuse to back down until one of us breaks and kisses the other. Hug me when you’re hard. Touch me. You can do anything you want, Lan Zhan. I love you, so I’ll want to tarnish your purity no matter what you do.

[He kisses Lan Zhan again, keeping it relatively brief this time.] Since you succeeded in taking me to Gusu with you, will you have me stay in the jingshi? We have a cold river nearby. I can catch the beautiful Hanguang-Jun having a bath or meditating.

I want to know how feel about me so I can tease you about it while I tease your body. How does that sound, Lan Zhan?

[A significant part of him doesn’t want to stop even as Lan Zhan distances himself. He could throw himself at Lan Zhan and bully his way into being bedded, but it wouldn’t feel as good to know it’s not what Lan Zhan wants. So he lets his husband pull back, but not far because he wraps his arms around his middle and stays close, yet obediently chaste if not for his half-engorged sex.]

I like when you look at me like this. [One more kiss on the cheek before he relaxes and gazes back at Lan Zhan. He could just lay here and study his husband’s face for a whole shi and not feel tired of it.]

I know how you feel about me. [They’ve been married for quite some time now, so why is it so easy to turn him into a blushing maiden? And it’s not even anything sexy doing it!] But… I suppose a reminder would be welcomed if you’re feeling inspired.

And when you’re done being romantic, you can tell me about some of your favorite dreams you’ve had about me. Maybe one of them will be the inspiration we want.

[He watches Lan Zhan’s eyes, his own fluttering closed only when they start to kiss again. It’s not hungry like before, but it somehow feels more intimate for it. He relaxes, living in the moment where his whole body and soul feel loved under his husband’s undivided attention. It’s just the two of them sharing a small world together. As much as they miss their kids, it’s freeing to have this time with just his husband.

His length grows more rigid in Lan Zhan’s grasp. He moans into Lan Zhan’s mouth, hips moving at a lazy tempo to match Lan Zhan’s gentle motion. He nips at his husband’s bottom lip when the kiss comes to a comfortable end.
]

I like you too, Lan Zhan. You’re my best friend. [Whether it’s the hand around him or the verbal affection, his cheeks are rosy and his smile genuine. Love and like might appear to be along the same spectrum, but they’re different. When they fight, their love for each other never falters but there are moments when they just don’t like each other very much. So hearing that Lan Zhan likes him right now in this moment (and so many other times when they aren’t in the midst of their petty conflicts), he feels happy.]

I like spending time with you and the kids. [It feels strange to mention the kids when he has Lan Zhan’s hand around him, but the sentiment is there. There’s a reason he usually sends messages at all hours of the day and night when they’re separated by distance.

He licks his lips when Lan Zhan starts speaking again. He can imagine the scenario Lan Zhan creates for him and his flush kisses his neck and cheeks.
] You can to do anything you want with me. Chained and tethered and unable to do anything besides endure maddening pleasure and teasing, huh? [He starts to move his hips again, slow and syrupy. A promise of pleasure rather than the hectic scramble of chasing it.]

We could mess around like that for hours. Do you want your dream to become real, Lan Zhan? I trust you to control me like that.

[Lan Zhan heavy against his thigh is all the permission he needs to let himself fall into this little trap set out for him. He lets himself relax and enjoy being handled this way, feeling hopeful, if not certain, that he won’t be left wanting. That Lan Zhan won’t be left wanting, either, even though he knows Lan Zhan is accustomed to torturing himself by meditating his body into submission.

He angles himself so that when he moves into blissful friction, he shares some with Lan Zhan, too. They’ve only been kissing and he hasn’t even let his hands explore Lan Zhan’s sweet spots, yet his husband is hard for him. Because of him.
]

More? [He coaxes, arching his back and reaching between them so he can take his husband in hand. He pinches the tip and uses the moisture beading there to soften his touch.]

All of it. I give freely. You’re too good at holding yourself back and denying yourself what you want. [Not that Lan Zhan holds himself back when it’s just the two of them. At least, he doesn’t think he does.] If you want me to suck on you in the reception hall, then I’ll get on my knees and do it. I’ll drink every last drop of evidence.

I want to reenact your dream in the library pavilion. Just you and me with the books bearing witness.

[It feels decadent to enjoy each other’s body for a second round in such a short amount of time. They haven’t had the freedom to explore each other like this since they adopted their second son, mostly hurrying to make sure they’re satisfied so they can remain on standby in case the little master’s whims pull one or both of them back into service.

They can take their time now and enjoy the build up to more. His hand grips his husband more firmly, but he keeps the strokes slow enough to avoid urgency at this point in their play. He loves how Lan Zhan moves against his palm reminiscent of their union.
]

We could use the forbidden section for secrecy. [It’s a suggestion, but he likes Lan Zhan’s idea better.] Or we can go when the sect sleeps. But meal time sounds good, too. As long as it’s with you, we can do it any time and anywhere. I want to be claimed in all the places that are important to us.

[He spreads his legs a little more, curling one around Lan Zhan’s thighs. The lazy speed they’re moving is just on the side of torturously slow more to stoke interest than to race to the finish. For now, he’s able to restrain himself from rolling Lan Zhan onto his back and ride him.]

We should find that cave where we fought the Xuanwu of Slaughter. We could do what we should have done when we were trapped in there. [As if either of them had been in any condition to do so with their wounds and inedia.] The rabbit clearing. A boat in the lakes of Yunmeng. Everywhere.

[The kiss isn’t expected, but it’s enthusiastically returned. He’s not sure, at first, what provoked Lan Zhan, but he’s glad for it. He smiles while they kiss, remembering belatedly to keep stroking his husband’s length throughout. He’s only slightly dazed when Lan Zhan breaks the kiss.]

I remember some things. [He kisses Lan Zhan for a few seconds more, before he moves back until they’re nose to nose again.] It feels like the more time I spend with you, the more I remember about us.

[There are some things that are still out of his reach. The days after the massacre at Nightless City are still too fuzzy for him to make heads or tails of. Some nights, he wakes up from nightmares surrounding his death, but the images always fade to obscurity. He thinks he’d like to remember that time because Lan Zhan had been with him for parts of it, but his fragmented memory lacks clarity for it.]

Maybe if there are more things you want me to remember, you can tell me about them. It might work! And if it doesn’t, I’ll still get to hear a story about us.

[It’s difficult to focus on anything besides the sensation of Lan Zhan’s nimble fingers around him. His hips buck towards his husband’s hand, leaving him a moaning mess in its wake. He only chases Lan Zhan’s mouth for a moment before leaning back at watching him. Part predator, part prey, he waits until Lan Zhan’s speaking before tightening his grip and tugging a little quicker.]

You were so angry when I found you afterwards. [He leans in and brushes his lips across Lan Zhan’s jawbone. His hands are starting to tremble with the over-stimulation, but he’s still after more.] You wanted to do more than just kiss me, didn’t you? If you could go back and take me all for yourself, would you do it? We still need to go back to Phoenix Mountain and celebrate our first kiss.

[He had been powerful back then. Untouchable like Lan Zhan said, yet Lan Zhan had risked so much for just one kiss. The only kiss they ever shared when he was in his original body. At least Lan Zhan had a taste of him from before.]

What would you have done if I caught you and decided I wanted to be the one to take you? Would we have fought for dominance?

[He thrives on the sounds Lan Zhan makes for him, letting them act as a breeze to a hungry fire. To think there’d been a time that he thought this man was wholesome and innocent and now look at them both losing themselves in their bed play for a second time in one evening.

He moves as directed, pressing his hips against Lan Zhan in pulses of heat. He can imagine the him of before losing composure and fighting with Lan Zhan in that way. Aroused and wanting to dominate. He doesn’t mind letting Lan Zhan dominate him these days, though. In fact, he loves every second of it.
]

We would have. [His breaths are staring to come out in puffs, head up tilting to the side to enjoy Lan Zhan’s mouth.] We would have been like beasts, coveting the pleasure we shared. Neither of us would have backed down once we started.

[He spreads his legs like in Lan Zhan’s imagination and welcomes him. He doesn’t have nearly as many hang ups about being the bottom as he would have had back then. Chuckling, he nods his head and lets it hang over Lan Zhan, haloing him in his hair.]

What are you waiting for, Lan Zhan? Show me what I would have been missing back then.

[He feels sore after sleeping with Lan Zhan once already, but it isn’t uncomfortable enough for him to falter. After they get going, it won’t even register. He mutters encouraging nothings, egging Lan Zhan on until he’s fully sheathed by him.]

Claim my prize, huh? [His fingers travel down his husband’s chest, stopping to brush against one nipple, then to rub and pinch at it until it swells hard.

He thinks about how to make this work, grinning when he comes to a conclusion he thinks might work and not ruin the pride he still clings to regarding his first body. Just because he’s taking Lan Zhan inside of him, it doesn’t mean that he has to do it submissively.
]

Put your hands above your head. [He thumbs at the nipple a little longer while he waits for Lan Zhan to comply. If he doesn’t, he’ll wrestle him into it, but either way, he wants to hold him down. Similar to how he’d been treated up that tree. Like this, he doesn’t have enough mass to keep Lan Zhan down - and knowing how strong his husband’s upper body strength is, he wouldn’t have been able to truly subdue him even back then. Not without his necromancy, anyway, and the stench of death isn’t something he’d like to bring into the bedroom.]

You like this, don’t you? Where are your precepts now, Lan Zhan?

[personal profile] emperorssmile 2024-11-05 01:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[The shift in Lan Zhan’s attitude surprises him but only for a moment. Of course, Lan Zhan from back then wouldn’t be the doting husband he is today. But hadn’t he already fallen for him by then? No, this is a fantasy based around his memory of how things had been. So that’s what Lan Zhan is playing at.]

You say that, but your body betrays you. The only thing that’s stone is what’s between your legs.

[And what a wonderful thing it is to feel inside him. He grips Lan Zhan’s wrists with one hand, the other one clutching Lan Zhan’s cheek meanly to force his gaze at him.] You belong to me now, for as long as I want. Don’t worry, Lan Zhan, I’m generous. I’ll make sure your lust is satisfied, too.

[He starts to lift himself only to stop halfway to lower himself again. He assumes he’ll be the one doing most of the work with his prey acting so stoic. It makes him feel good knowing he’ll be bringing Lan Zhan to completion while his husband gets to lay back and enjoy it. Usually, it’s Lan Zhan who takes on the role of lead in these things.]

[personal profile] emperorssmile 2024-11-05 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[He grins when Lan Zhan gives him that grumpy look. He assumes it’s part of the character, but he allows himself to be moved by it. One hand holds his lover still, but he loosens his grip on Lan Zhan’s face, stroking the cheek apologetically. He dips his face down, nudging their noses together and breathing in his husband’s breath.]

Am I really so hateful?

[He tastes Lan Zhan’s bottom lip, tongue dragging too slowly across the expanse before he closes the distance between them with a slow kiss. All the while, his hips keep up a lazy pace. He moans between them, starting to think pinning Lan Zhan’s hands like this wasn’t his best plan. He liked the way it felt around him.

He breaks the kiss but doesn’t move back, letting their lips brush together while he speaks.
]

Touch me. [He releases the hands he’s been pinning into place.] If you satisfy me, I might keep you around.
