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’s almost midnight when they finally finish the case.

It was a hell of a fight, the bastard was seriously adept at controlling Youchong and other horrible creatures, and the entire SID did not get away without at least a scratch or scrape each.

When finally they managed to apprehend the suspect that had been haunting their steps for several weeks, they were essentially all knocked down in simultaneous relief and injury.

Shen Wei was the only one who remained standing, his cuts and scratches minor. He’s not uncomfortable at all, he’s had worse happen to him. Several of the SID need stitches and Zhao Yunlan is holding his arm, probably in need of relocation.

He walks over to where Zhao Yunlan is sitting on the ground, coming up behind him, and places his hand on Yunlan’s shoulder. Zhao Yunlan doesn’t turn, but Shen Wei can see him smile weakly with his eyes closed. He seems to be dazed and worn out from the fight because he doesn’t make a move to get up or reach for Shen Wei, breath hitching weakly.

“Xiao Wei,” he mumbles.

Sending out as steady a pulse of dark energy as he can, Shen Wei feels a wet cough bubble up, but he forces himself to swallow, to keep putting everything he has in him into Zhao Yunlan’s body. His other hand is holding the back of Yunlan’s neck, thumb slowly stroking as Zhao Yunlan winces and exhales pain-filled breaths.

Slowly but surely, all the cuts are healed and the shoulder is back in its place. It seems as though Zhao Yunlan was unaware of how deep his injuries and his exhaustion were, but now he is re-energized enough to turn around, open his eyes, and steal a kiss.

“Shen Wei, holy shit, you didn’t have to-”

He cuts short as his mouth drops open in horror.

Shen Wei startles. The satisfied smile on his face falls immediately as he registers his beloved’s appalled expression.

“What’s wrong?” he says lightly, barely noticing how he wobbles back and forth, the blood dripping down his face from where he was struck in the head.

“What the fuck, you absolute fucking idiot!” Zhao Yunlan all but screams, immediately coming around to wrap himself around Shen Wei and oh.

Oh.

Suddenly it makes sense.
“Zhao Yunlan, I’m fine. It’s just a few scratches,” Shen Wei says with a smile, even as he’s starting to notice the pain radiating from all the lacerations and that huge gaping one across his chest and how his head pounds, how it pounds.

“You bastard, you’ve been torn to shreds and that’s all you can tell me? I swear to the heavens this son of a-” Zhao Yunlan cuts himself off with a sobbing gasp as he tears his jacket off with shaking hands to at least try to staunch that massive wound on his best friend’s chest.

The rest of the SID seems to stir from where they’ve been nursing their wounds and they’re almost equally horrified to see Shen Wei’s condition even with their own scratches.

Shen Wei flushes under their scrutiny and looks away from Zhao Yunlan, swallowing back the remaining blood in his throat. He suddenly feels weak, but he has to help the others, he has to help-

“Would you please stay fucking still for a moment? You’re losing so much blood. Please tell me you left something for yourself,” Zhao Yunlan’s voice is high and desperate and Shen Wei really wants to lie.

“I…” he hesitates, but he knows there’s no way out. “I am… depleted for the time being.”

Zhao Yunlan inhales in that way that Shen Wei knows means he’s trying not to hit something and he swallows again, watching him closely.

“Of fucking course you didn’t,” Zhao Yunlan states, voice shaking. “You actual fucking asshole, my arm was dislocated and I had a few scratches, I would have been fine! You, on the other hand… how could you not fucking heal yourself?!”

“I can handle it, I just need to know you’re well,” Shen Wei says blithely, even as his body is making him alert to even more scratches he didn’t know he had.

Zhao Yunlan’s grip on Shen Wei’s jacket tightens. “You- I’m not well if you’re not! Especially if you’re… like this, how could you ever think that this is okay?”

Shen Wei says nothing.

“Damn you, I fucking love you, Shen Wei! You have to let me care too! Please! I can’t do this without you, my best friend, my partner, my everything!”

Shen Wei feels something, hot, wet, trickling out of his eyes. He belatedly notices that he’s crying and he’s not sure if it’s because of the pain or because of Zhao Yunlan’s honest and desperate words.
“Zhao Yunlan, I’m not-”

“Shut up, Shen Wei. I know you’re going to say something stupid about yourself and I honestly cannot handle this right now. You’re going to shut up, and you’re going to let yourself be cared for because honest to all the heavens, if you don’t listen for once in your life, I will never let you come on a case again. Am I clear on that?”

Shen Wei looks up at Zhao Yunlan’s teary face, his wobbling lip and he feels something far worse than the wound in his chest tear him apart. He nods silently.

“Good.”

Three ambulances come eventually. Zhao Yunlan gets Shen Wei on the first.

[xparrot]

Awww, aww Shen Wei, you disaster -- triage means taking stock of yourself, too! But that's never his strong point. And Zhao Yunlan's anger from how much he cares, so vivid!

[wintersoldier77]

Ahhh thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked it!

They're both disasters for each other and honestly I wrote this on impulse cause I was needing these feels

[xparrot]

The need for feels is my impetus for nearly all my fic -- may these disasters inspire many more from you!

--Also I only just realized that my Youchong make a cameo at the beginning, heee! Oooh, a Dixingren controlling them, that would be nasty~~~

[wintersoldier77]

Ahahaha, we're all suckers for the feelings. (I'm sure that's half the reason Guardian even exists anyways.)

And yessss I was like, "hmm, I need something really horrifying and possibly quite gory... and those Youchong were really cool... What if..." ;)

[frith_in_thorns]

Eee, thank you so much for writing my prompt! I loved Shen Wei here, dazed and not realising how out of it he is and too focused on Zhao Yunlan to have considered thinking about himself.

I also loved Zhao Yunlan getting to be extremely angry about this! His fear for Shen Wei really comes across. And Shen Wei actually realising he's seriously messed up here, I hope that lesson takes...

♥ ♥ ♥

[wintersoldier77]

I'm so glad you liked it!

Shen Wei is just this ball of angst who just doesn't get how sweet and precious he is. I mean, he just deserves the whole world but he's not used to being told so. Often the biggest lessons are taught the hardest way, but I think he should get an idea now.

And Zhao Yunlan is the best person to show him.

Thank youuuuu <3

[naye]

Oh no Shen Wei...! This is just - poor Zhao Yunlan. He has to deal with so much. And Shen Wei is just happy Zhao Yunlan is fine! That is the most important thing! Not losing all the blood in his body.

[wintersoldier77]

He's truly a silly bean and he needs to understand that love is mutual! And Zhao Yunlan, poor babe, Shen Wei is just always giving him heart attacks.

[yue_ix]

Zhao Yunlan's angry desperate concern was vivid, I loved it! Shen Wei's selflessness can be infuriating and it felt good to have his beloved scream to him about it, it's very cathartic to me!

I hope he can find it in himself to do let others take care of him the way he takes care of everyone else first. :)

Thank you for writing this!

[wintersoldier77]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked it! It was absolutely super cathartic to write too, it's not every day you can just scream at someone, so I enjoyed that aspect too. Especially with the way Shen Wei just doesn't get how important and wonderful he is?? Thanks Yunlan, for telling him. ;)

Thank you again!

“You bastard, you’ve been torn to shreds and that’s all you can tell me? I swear to the heavens this son of a-” Zhao Yunlan cuts himself off with a sobbing gasp

YESS I am so here for Zhao Yunlan yelling at Shen Wei and cursing him out for being such a self-sacrificing idiot, it's so satisfying! I love them both so much, but they can be so terrible, and fic that deals with that is so good to have.

[wintersoldier77]

The point is that love is mutual and Zhao Yunlan and Shen Wei need to both exist in each other's lives for it to work out.

Shen Wei just needs to understand the point and sometimes the point needs to be made with absolutely no holds barred!
