HIII!! May I request teen reader with parental figure!Jing Yuan? Reader is friends with Yanqing (I was thinking that reader is a cloud knight directly under Yanqing for missions... maybe? They got close as they're around the same age). They get even closer which lead him to invite reader to meet Jing Yuan, then that gets more frequent and Jing Yuan starts to go "mhm second child" and reader also goes "mhm parental figure"
This was just a random thought lmao, thank you!!

The soft glow of lanterns illuminated the training grounds of the Xianzhou Luofu as the sound of clashing swords echoed through the air. A faint smile tugged at your lips as you carefully observed the sparring between Yanqing and his opponent. You were supposed to be resting after a mission, but you couldn't resist the temptation to watch your friend in action. His strikes were quick, precise, and filled with the energy of someone who had been training relentlessly for years. You, however, preferred a quieter approach to combat, relying on strategy and careful planning rather than brute force.
"Hey, ready to join in?" Yanqing’s voice broke you from your thoughts.
You grinned, raising an eyebrow. "You want me to go easy on you?"
Yanqing scoffed, lowering his blade and flashing you an impish smile. "As if I need your pity."
"Don't worry," you said with a smirk, "I wouldn't give you pity if you begged for it."
He laughed, a sound that was light but full of confidence. "Well, you're on then."
Before you could step forward, Yanqing's gaze flickered to the side. His expression softened, and he quickly straightened up. "Ah, it's General."
You turned to follow his gaze, spotting Jing Yuan standing at the entrance to the training area, his sharp eyes surveying the scene with quiet attention. The serene aura that always surrounded him was like a calming breeze, and his presence was enough to make anyone pause in respect.
"General." Yanqing called out with a respectful bow.
Jing Yuan gave a small nod, his calm demeanor never wavering. "How are your lessons going, Yanqing?" His voice, though soft, held a weight to it that could silence any room.
"I’m progressing well," Yanqing replied with a bright smile, then turned to you. "Oh, and this is my friend, [Name]. They've been on missions with me for a while now."
Jing Yuan’s gaze shifted to you, and for a moment, you felt the weight of his eyes studying you—assessing, calculating. "It’s a pleasure to meet one of my student's companions. Yanqing speaks highly of you."
You straightened up, offering a polite bow, though the air between you and Jing Yuan felt a little more intimidating than you had expected. "The pleasure is mine, General. Yanqing is a skilled companion, and it’s an honor to work alongside him."
Jing Yuan smiled, but there was a certain mirth in his expression. "I see. Well, I trust you’re keeping him in check, then?"
Yanqing rolled his eyes, but you could see the pride in his stance. "I don’t need anyone to keep me in check, General."
"Of course not." Jing Yuan replied dryly, the slight amusement in his tone making you chuckle.
The next few weeks saw more and more of you accompanying Yanqing to meet the General. Jing Yuan’s calm, almost lazy demeanor intrigued you. Despite his reputation as the "Dozing General," there was a wisdom in his eyes, a depth that you found fascinating.
One day, after another successful mission together, Yanqing invited you to join him for a brief visit to Jing Yuan’s quarters. You hesitated for a moment, but curiosity won out.
Inside, Jing Yuan was as composed as ever, sitting at a low table with a scroll in hand, his eyes flicking up only when you and Yanqing entered.
"Ah, [Name], you’ve returned," he remarked, though his tone was casual, as though you’d been coming and going for years.
"I’m just stopping by," you said, with a small grin. "I’ll be out of your hair soon."
Jing Yuan’s lips quirked up slightly, but he didn’t comment. Instead, he set the scroll down and beckoned you over to join them. "Sit, sit. Yanqing, I trust you’ve been teaching them well?"
You chuckled, settling into the seat next to him. "Well, I wouldn't say teaching per se... But I’ve been keeping Yanqing from getting too reckless."
"Reckless, you say?" Yanqing shot you a playful glare, clearly not offended, but you could see the glimmer of pride in his eyes.
"Reckless is an understatement," you teased back.
Jing Yuan leaned back slightly, eyeing the two of you with a thoughtful expression. "I can see that you’ve become quite close. It’s good to see Yanqing surrounded by such capable people."
You nodded, trying to hide the small blush that crept up on your face. "Thank you, General. It’s been... an honor to work alongside him."
"Mm," Jing Yuan said, his eyes twinkling with a knowing look. "You’ve done well, both of you."
Over time, your visits to Jing Yuan’s quarters became more frequent, especially after missions or during downtime. At first, it was just casual conversations—discussions of recent missions, lighthearted banter, or even moments of silent reflection. But the more time you spent with him, the more you began to feel a strange sense of belonging in his presence.
Jing Yuan often referred to you as his “child,” though he said it with a fondness that made your heart warm in a way you didn’t quite understand. It wasn’t the strict, authoritative tone that most might use with a subordinate, but more like the gentle prodding of a parent who cared deeply but didn’t need to say it outright.
And you, in turn, began to call him "father figure" in response, sometimes with an exaggerated bow or a playful grin, but it was always said with genuine affection.
"You've been practicing your swordsmanship well, I see," Jing Yuan remarked one day as he watched you and Yanqing spar. "But remember, [Name], there is no shame in using your mind as well as your strength."
You paused mid-strike, a sheepish smile tugging at your lips. "I know, I know. It’s just hard to put down the sword sometimes."
He chuckled softly, his eyes filled with warmth. "Take your time. You’re still learning."
There was something about the way he said it that made you feel seen—not just as a warrior or a Cloud Knight, but as a person. Someone who was growing, who still had room to learn, and most importantly, someone who mattered.
"I will, General," you said, the familiar teasing tone in your voice. "I’ll try not to disappoint."
"I know you won’t, my child." Jing Yuan replied, the corners of his lips curving upward.
And just like that, the unspoken bond between you and Jing Yuan grew stronger. The calm, wise, and patient leader of the Xianzhou had become more than just an ally or mentor—he had become a father figure, and in turn, you had become a beloved part of his ever-expanding family.
I really love how you write each individual characters and how well you characterise them!! No idea how you manage to write so much that you could put them on schedules for months in advance and I wish I had your motivation when I study LOL, take breaks when you need! :]
Can I have some HC's on pet names? What kind of pet names (honey, darling, or something more specific and creative like little sparrow?) would the characters use for their SO? (aven, sunday, robin, topaz..)

A/N: Thank you so much! That honestly means a lot. 🤭💖 I think the key is getting really immersed in each character’s personality and just letting their traits guide how I write about them—it makes it feel more natural, like I’m just observing their behavior and quirks (does that make sense? I'm not sure lol). As for the motivation... honestly, I can totally relate to the struggle of staying focused on studying! 😭🙏 We’re all just figuring it out as we go, right? Hopefully, you find that same kind of flow when you’re working. And don't worry, I definitely take breaks lol!! 💖
Aventurine would use pet names that reflect his playful, teasing nature while masking deeper affection. His choices would often allude to games of chance or strategy, mirroring his obsession with risks and calculated moves.
Lucky Charm: Playing off his love for luck and risk, Aventurine might call his partner this to show they’re a source of fortune for him, balancing his reckless tendencies. It’s a sweet term, but with a layer of subtle manipulation, as if he’s still controlling the narrative.
Sunshine: Aventurine uses this name to show a softer side, calling his partner “Sunshine” to reflect how they brighten his world. Though he often hides behind playful teasing, this term reveals his genuine affection, showing how much their warmth and light mean to him.
Clever Fox: For a partner who matches his cunning and wit, this name implies an equal in strategy. It’s not just about admiration—he views them as someone to play the game of life with, and he appreciates their intellect.
Sapphire: Drawing inspiration from his own gemstone-related name (Aventurine), this would be an affectionate pet name that shows both admiration and a touch of glamor. It's a nod to something rare and precious, but with a polished, cool edge.
Despite his flamboyance, these pet names are ultimately a way for him to feel like he's keeping things under control while also forging intimacy through his carefully chosen terms.
Given Sunday’s introspective and empathetic nature, his pet names would be deep, celestial, and meaningful. His choices evoke a sense of tranquility, harmony, and a shared emotional connection with his partner.
Starflower: Reflecting both his celestial theme (with his golden halo and wings) and his partner’s delicate beauty, a Starflower symbolizes something rare and precious in an endless universe. It reflects both admiration and a deep sense of care.
Beloved: A softer, more timeless name, this carries the weight of his affection. When he uses this pet name, it’s sincere and heartfelt, reserved for someone he deeply cherishes.
Moonlight: Sunday would likely call his partner “Moonlight” to express their calming influence on his life, much like the moon softens the night sky. It symbolizes peace in a chaotic world.
Charmony: Rooted in Sunday’s role in organizing the Charmony Festival, this pet name represents a deep emotional connection. It ties directly to his belief in peace and balance—his version of finding harmony in a universe of conflict.
Sunday’s pet names reveal his desire for connection and peace, evoking his philosophical and idealistic beliefs while expressing affection in the most serene, intimate way possible.
Robin’s pet names would be graceful and lyrical, reflecting the elegance and poetic beauty of her character. They would often carry a musical or celestial theme, mirroring her deep emotional resonance.
Melody: A soft, musical pet name, “Melody” would echo Robin's connection to her voice, which is her greatest gift. It evokes harmony and beauty, and also hints at how their relationship is a sweet, harmonious song.
Starlight: Given her Penacony heritage, this pet name reflects someone who is a source of awe and inspiration. Just as stars light up the night sky, her partner would be the light in her life, full of wonder.
Lullaby: This term would reflect Robin’s soothing presence and the comfort her voice brings. It’s a way to say that her partner finds solace in her, just like the soothing melody of a lullaby at night.
My Muse: For someone who inspires her in every way, Robin might use this name to convey how much their presence fuels her creativity. Her partner serves as her muse, influencing her music and life deeply.
Robin's pet names are calm and poetic, symbolizing the peaceful, emotional depth of her personality, as well as her devotion to her craft and her partner.
Topaz’s pet names are precise, practical, and a bit bold, reflecting her highly skilled, efficient, and no-nonsense personality. Yet, there’s a softness in how she expresses her care, revealing her tenderness when she’s truly close to someone.
Gem: Simple yet precious, this straightforward pet name reflects her practical side while still acknowledging how much her partner means to her. It's a little utilitarian, but warm and genuine.
Partner in Crime: Reflecting her strategic nature and love for efficiency, this pet name suggests someone she can rely on for collaboration. It implies a mutual bond, where both partners work as a team, whether in business or life.
Bastion: A slightly more serious, protective term of endearment. Topaz would use this for someone she feels brings stability and strength to her life, someone she can rely on during challenging times.
Spice: A playful and affectionate name, “Spice” reflects how her partner adds excitement and flavor to her life. It’s a nod to how she finds joy and warmth in their presence, which adds dimension to her otherwise pragmatic world.

"At least I know how to shut up. So SHUT UP.”
That had been the fatal blow. Derek could look back now and confirm - that had been his downfall. That had been the moment that changed everything, because in response, Stiles had simply said, "Make me."
