My Xiangfu Can't Be This Cute!

[mademoiselle-red]

Not sure if this scene would never develop into a fic, but I’ve been imagining Liu Shan as a toddler one spring afternoon in Jingzhou, sprawled face down on top of his xiansheng, who is reading a tax report while the child rests his face upon xiansheng’s chest and dozes off. And this develops into a habit, year after year, when it’s warm and pleasant outside, Zhuge Liang would lounge outside on a bamboo long-chair, reading and signing off on paperwork, while Ah Dou naps in his arms. And once Liu Shan no longer fits across his xiangfu’s chest as a teen and then an adult, he simply hauls over another long-chair and rests his head on his xiangfu’s lap as he naps. Zhuge Liang thinks this is improper behavior for an emperor but relents to Liu Shan’s persistent begging 🥺

And many, many years later, after Emperor Liu Shan became Lord Anle, he would nap alone in his courtyard that was actually a prison, and dream back to his childhood, to a spring afternoon, curled up in his xiansheng’s arms, snuggling against his chest, and falling asleep to the rhythm of his heartbeat…

Liu Shan x Zhuge Liang fic by me! Explicit.

Liu Shan would do anything to appease Xiangfu and get him to stay, even if it means he has to act upon his long-repressed feelings. (A little exploration of the guilt Liu Shan felt after he was influenced by Li Yan's words, as well as events that occurred before Zhuge Liang's fifth northern expedition. It includes numerous fragments of Liu Shan's childhood too.)

Also featuring: - bad sex ED - Schrödinger's erection - terrible lines like "Has Xiangfu ever done this to father?"

...and many more (that are even worse). There are also additional warnings in the author's notes section, so a heads up for that. Enjoy!

Currently being tortured by directors who went with Liu Shan hugging his xiangfu tightly while seeing him off for his fifth... and last northern expedition.

Short snippet from the ShanLiang fic I'm working on, which features a little flashback to Liu Shan's childhood shenanigans

On one occasion, he even feigned illness, just to keep Zhuge Liang by his side. He secretly hoped the man would check his fever by kissing his forehead like always, but it seemed, Zhuge Liang deemed that to be too inappropriate now. Nevertheless, his xiangfu kept him company for a while until he coughed lightly and said, "If you continue to neglect your studies like this, your father will not tolerate it… but I can tell him you need to rest for a few days until you can catch up." Warmth quickly rushed to Liu Shan's face, and he quickly hid under the blanket. He only felt the weight on the bed shift slightly next. After Zhuge Liang left, a bitter feeling welled up in Liu Shan's heart. He sat quietly for a while before sullenly picking up the scroll beside the bed. Not for his father's sake, he insisted.
