time for an h/c comment fest!

[xparrot]

The last couple of days have been rough on my writing (for dumb annoying reasons, why don't we come installed with a "will not be bothered by this thing" button?)

So! In the hopes of getting me to write something, and because this is what I'm feeling most wobbly about: it's time for hurt/comfort comment-fic!

Leave me a prompt/request for h/c, any hurt or any comfort, short or long as you want -- if it's character-specific, Guardian WeiLan please, that's all I'm in the mood to write; if that's not your thing then please leave a more general prompt! I don't promise to write anything (nor do I promise to write an actual commentfic and not some 10K-word monster, knowing me) but I would love any inspiration.

And if one of the prompts happens to tickle your fancy, please post your own comment fic (art, etc!) here (any fandoms, any characters) -- the more h/c the merrier!


The fills! \o/

It was an undergraduate class in one of the neighbouring labs who had caused the evacuation of the entire floor, and none of them looked sure whether to be horrified or delighted at their achievement. That was, until the medics arrived and declared that everyone had to be given a counteragent injection, just to be on the safe side. Then their reaction definitely tipped towards horror, especially when they realised that some of the more senior people in the corral set up in one of the lecture theatres were responsible for their grades that year.

Shen Wei felt more amusement than irritation, since he wasn't working to a deadline and had nowhere else he needed to be. Under the guise of mingling to chat while he waited he had already used his dark energy to locate and heal anyone seriously affected by the toxin, although of course he trusted the effectiveness of Haixing medicine. It rendered the need for the counteragent moot, but obviously he had no way to explain that so he lined up along with everyone else.

The injection was quick, professional, virtually painless. "Thank you," Shen Wei said, with a smile, and stood up, and was almost out of the lecture theatre before he realised that something in his body was going horribly wrong.

It started with a pressure behind his eyes, rapidly building into shocking pain. He put a hand to his forehead, digging in with his fingertips, and then his vision began to fragment and the room spun giddily, unaccountably.

He — he couldn't —

He tried to grab the doorframe for balance but he missed somehow, his hand sliding past it and sending him off-balance. He needed to — to —

The floor tilted further and he hit the ground heavily without having realised he was falling. The pressure was still building in his head, blinding agony, and he pressed his hands there and curled his body in and he couldn't make out what the alarmed voices around him were saying over the buzzing in his ears and he was losing his sense of what was happening, losing time.

Hands, voices, all blurred and indistinct. He didn't know what was happening any more and tried to open his eyes but all that was blurred too, smeared light and colours and dizzy movement and it all hurt and he was cold and he couldn't even grasp his dark energy, his head was splitting open and he felt sick and he was being moved and everything was a nightmare swirl of unreality.

Hand. In his. Through all the pain and confusion he knew its shape and the warmth and scent of the body bent near to him. "Yunlan," he forced out, the name in his mouth gifting him a fraction of stability. And Zhao Yunlan's voice murmured in his ear in response although the individual syllables were lost. Shen Wei clung to him, a buoy in a storm, shivering and desperate and drowning.

A little later he was being violently sick into a basin and Zhao Yunlan was supporting him, rubbing his thumb against Shen Wei's neck. Shen Wei moaned, clammy with sweat and too cold, and Zhao Yunlan kissed his hair. "It's okay, baby, it's okay," he murmured, over and over. Shen Wei leaned into him, limp and wrung out, and closed his eyes again because things were still swimming dizzily. He focused on Zhao Yunlan's touch, his voice, and when his hand quested for something to hold onto Zhao Yunlan took it immediately and squeezed. Shen Wei squeezed it back and Zhao Yunlan's voice was pleased even as it was going indistinct again.

Later, again, he tried to shift position and found Zhao Yunlan's hand touching his face gently. "Shen Wei? Are you awake?"

He opened his eyes, very cautiously. But though the light did its best to stab straight into his head it was about bearable. Much more welcome was the sight of Zhao Yunlan, although he looked tired, his hair dishevelled. But he smiled widely at Shen Wei. "Hey! How are you feeling?"

Shen Wei tried to speak, but his throat was too dry. Zhao Yunlan helped him sit up and sip from a glass of water. He was in a hospital room. "My head hurts," he said, when he could.

"Yeah," Zhao Yunlan said, sympathetically. "You had an awful reaction to the anti-toxin. Freaked everyone out." He gave a smile that was a bit shaky at the edges.

Shen Wei tried to sit up properly but his head swirled and his eyes were crowded with dark specks for a moment. He groaned, dizzy.

Zhao Yunlan arms were around him immediately, helping him lie back down. "Shhh, take it easy," he said, soothingly. "You'll be okay, it just needs to work its way out of your system. Lie down and relax, okay?"

It was easy to comply, when he felt like this. Shen Wei turned on his side so that he could press his forehead into Zhao Yunlan's chest. Zhao Yunlan's hand smoothed through his hair, anchoring him, murmuring soft endearments. "Go to sleep, baby," Zhao Yunlan told him. "I'm here, it's all okay."

Shen Wei drifted off. Knowing that Zhao Yunlan held onto him, a tether.

and SPEAKING OF making Shen Wei fall over, aaaaaaaaaayiiiiiii this is so beautifully gratuitous and amazing (also Shen Wei secretly healing people in the crowd, just, aww) and Zhao Yunlan being there and Shen Wei recognizing the shape of his hand, and then just curling into him and awww Zhao Yunlan probably needs it almost as much, like, Shen Wei definitely had it worse but this could not have been a good day for Yunlan!

[frith_in_thorns]

Yeah I knooooow it's SO GRATUITOUS I was in a very particular mood this evening XD (I did tell you it was MSWFOD.)

It was definitely a very stressful day to be Shen Wei's emergency contact. Aaaaaa he gets to the hospital and Shen Wei's just curled up on the bed in pain and not talking to him or even really registering him and Zhao Yunlan is 100% being there for him but also completely freaked out because they don't really KNOW what's going on with him and what if it gets worse instead of better and Shen Wei aaa!

[no_detective]

oh, this is SO intense - i mean, falling over is such an unsettling experience for someone that powerful, and it certainly reads that way. i love that zyl gets to be the caretaker!!! and i love that sw recognizes the touch of his hand <333

[frith_in_thorns]

The lovely thing about promptmemes is getting to just write the shamelessly iddy scenes I love without a few thousand words of buildup! I'm really glad you enjoyed this, thank you :)

"Yunlan," he forced out, the name in his mouth gifting him a fraction of stability.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa MY HEART.

"It's okay, baby, it's okay,"
WHYYY is it so sweet when Zhao Yunlan calls him that why is this so adorable and oh Shen Wei, he's so poorly...!


He gave a smile that was a bit shaky at the edges.
Poor Zhao Yunlan. This was. No fun for him. At all.

Zhao Yunlan's hand smoothed through his hair, anchoring him, murmuring soft endearments. "Go to sleep, baby," Zhao Yunlan told him. "I'm here, it's all okay."
SOFT?!?!

Shen Wei drifted off. Knowing that Zhao Yunlan held onto him, a tether.
SO SOFT!!! ♥♥♥

[frith_in_thorns]

Awww, thank you! :D This was just supremely self-indulgent on all levels (it was super not fun for anyone. Except me), I'm glad you liked it!

[yue_ix]

Yes yes yes the description if Shen Wei loosing bits and pieces of information about the world!

A HAND IN HIS.

Waking up at the hospital!

"Go to sleep, baby"!!!!

Yesssss

[frith_in_thorns]

Aww, thank you! This was extremely fun to write, I kind of love him just being too out of it to know what's going on. And of course Zhao Yunlan is there to take care of Shen Wei the minute he gets the phone call :)

[umadoshi]

Zhao Yunlan using endearments with Shen Wei is a MERCILESS ASSAULT on my feelings. Every. Single. Time.

All the hugs for Shen Wei. Yes.
