So, I wrote a little something, it’s just some relaxing time with the Lin Kuei girlies, a little suggestive maybe but no ratings apply. It’s self ship so don’t get too excited but you can pretend it’s you if you want. Hopefully this will help get me out of my writers block! Any feedback is always welcome thanks lovelies!
I sigh with relief as my aching body slips into the welcome warmth of the hot springs, enjoying the luxuries of the Lin Kuei’s main temple. I have been sick all week thanks to my youngest son bringing home the flu from school, thankfully my flu shot from last year seemed to help and I was able to keep it going for the most part but today my body had had enough. I sink up to my chin in the blissful, restorative water before I hear soft footfalls, I don’t think much of them though.
“Lady Sol, I didn’t mean to disturb you, I didn’t know you were here,” I hear a soft voice call.
“Sektor, it’s fine, come sit with me,” I call my husband’s second-in-command over, we’re quite close and I’m quite fond of her company.
“Again my apologies,” she repeats and slips gracefully in next to me, close but not too close to feel uncomfortable knowing I had not grown up with public baths as she had.
“How are the new initiates doing? Bi-Han has been so busy getting ready for his brother’s wedding that he hasn’t said much,” I crack an eye open to glance at the female warrior.
“It’s going well, the new recruits are shaping up to be worthy of the Lin Kuei name,” Sektor relaxing as if she suddenly remembered she could be herself with me.
“How’s Cyrax? I haven’t seen her in a few days, she usually works with the twins on Wednesdays.” I reply a bit worried about her whereabouts.
“Apologies my lady, I was away on a mission this week, I thought the Grandmaster would have told you,” Cyrax suddenly appears before joining us in the relaxing water.
“Honestly he might have, I don’t listen to everything he says on the best weeks and poor Shixue has been sick with the flu all week and gave it to me and my brain has been a quagmire,” I respond apologetically.
“Are you feeling any better?” Sektor asks, her warm lips pressed against my forehead checking for a fever. “You feel warm still,” she frowns.
“Sektor I’m in a hot spring, of course I’m going to be warm, I’m fine now, well except for my stomach but that’s tolerable,” I try and assuage her worries.
“Are you pregnant again?” Cyrax chimes in, her brown eyes suddenly lighting up.
I laugh loudly, “I hope not! The egg hasn’t even hatched yet, though Bi-Han would be thrilled if I was.”
“He does love children, you wouldn’t think it with his abrasive personality but I’ve never seen him happier than when he became a father,” Sektor remarks sinking back into the water.
“You can give him one next,” I laugh and splash her lightly.
Her face goes as scarlet as her armor and she starts sputtering, “my lady I couldn’t possibly I mean what are you talking about he’s my Grandmaster and your husband!”
“Sektor I’m not blind, I know your feelings for him, it’s fine I can share him again,” I smile at her and give her shoulder a reassuring squeeze.
“And I can be an auntie again!” Cyrax exclaims flinging water everywhere in her excitement.
“I can’t win against you two can I?” Sektor laughs before sighing, “how do I tell him though?”
“I can if you like, or, or better idea, you just join me in bed one night and we’ll seduce him together! He loves seeing Sareena and I together, I’m sure he’d go crazy for the two of us,” I grin at her feeling confident in my plan.
“M-my lady? The two of us? Together? With the Grandmaster?” Sektor’s voice rises in octaves as she continues.
“Well yeah, we share Sektor it’s all a big package, you don’t get Bi-Han without me too,” I explain.
“I-I understand and that’s perfectly acceptable I’m just afraid my lack of experience may displease you both,” she blurts out flushing deeper.
“Oh don’t worry about that, Bi-Han will LOVE that and I’ll help you out,” I smile softly feeling the tired knots finally leave my body.
“Too bad I’m not in love with the Grandmaster too, I’m feeling left out!” Cyrax pouts playfully before draping herself across my lap.
“At least you have the kids to keep you company though,” I laugh and pinch her cheeks lightly.
“There’s always Syzoth,” Sektor ventures trying to cover up her perpetual blush.
“He is cute, but I think I’m more into girls these days,” Cyrax hums.
“Thank you for volunteering my other partner,” I shove Sektor playfully, before the three of us can get into a massive water fight we hear heavy footfalls.
“Qin are you in here?” Bi-Han’s deep voice calls out.
“I am but I have company pervert so no peeking!” I call back sticking my arms over the girls chests as they both try and sink as far in the water as possible.
“Who’s in there,” he asks sounding a bit annoyed as if he wanted some alone time.
“Sektor and Cyrax are keeping me company,” I reply.
“Oh, good I just wanted to check on you since you don’t feel well and I was worried you’d feel too lightheaded. Don’t stay in too long, Bingbing is looking for you for a bedtime story, I tried but nope it’s gotta be Mama,” he explains before turning to leave.
“Well ladies, looks like I’ve been summoned, Sektor come by tomorrow before dinner and we’ll work something out,” I give her a wink before standing up and grabbing a towel, I dry myself off and follow after Bi-Han who waited for me.
“What business do you have with Sektor?” He asks, brows furrowing with curiosity.
“You’ll find out sooner or later, but I think you’ll be pleased,” I smile and stand on my tiptoes to press a kiss to my husband’s cold cheek. I pull on layers of warm clothing before donning my fur-lined robe and heading back into the bracing cold to read to my daughter.
I’m aging Bi-Han up, I don’t care if he’s probably in his late 20s, early 30s in MK1 for me he’s 47. Also I think Syzoth is younger mentally but he’s a couple thousand years old because he’s Zatteran. So, yeah thank you for coming to my self ship Ted talk.
Bi-Han being reluctantly soft and submissive when Sareena wants to be dominant but him still being a hard dom for me. Sareena’s allowed to peg him, I’m not 🤣
He also occasionally bottoms for Syzoth but only during emergency rut situations. Even when he does though he’s still the top between the two of them lol He’s a bossy bottom 🤭
Self ship stuff and possibly unpopular opinion but I’m fine with Sektor and Cyrax being women now and they are my besties and go to baby sitter if Sareena is busy. The three of us go to the village at the base of the mountain on off days to buy sweets or boba tea and get pedicures. They always come over for family dinners especially for the mid-autumn festival, they’re like the sisters I never had.
I’ve acquired more alcohol, Merry Christmas to me :3 Also Merry Christmas to all my lovelies who celebrate sending all the love during this joyous season. Happy Holidays to those who don’t and just have an awesome day to those who don’t celebrate anything this time of year.
Sol: *aggressively makes out with Bi-Han under the mistletoe only stops when Sareena wants to join in, proceeds to snog husband and girlfriend*
Syzoth: *sad lizard noises*
Bi-Han: *pulls their boyfriend into the sloppy festive kiss*
Made gyoza for the family last night, usually I let Bi-Han make the jiaozi he learned from Mama Zero but I was craving Japanese flavors and I know my way around a dumpling, so I took the reigns. They were plump and juicy, crispy and delicious, the kids loved them and absolutely demolished them. Sy couldn’t help but sneak one or two even though human food gives him a stomach ache. I didn’t get a picture of the second plate but the twins are getting so good at folding the dumplings and Xue is getting there too! It was so much fun helping Bingbing with the dumplings and even though hers didn’t look the best, she is only three after all, but they still tasted wonderful. I love cooking with the kids especially my daughter, not that I don’t instill a love of culinary arts in all my children, I’m raising my boys to be equal partners not misogynist wastes of life but Bingbing really has an enthusiasm for it! She gets so excited measuring the ingredients and is so meticulous about it, it’s really adorable, I can tell she’s going to be quite the home cook like her mama. It’s chillier today so I have a nice big pot of bean and bacon soup simmering away today, what’s nice is the bacon is smoked in house at the Lin Kuei compound so it’s not often I have to make a trip to the village for supplies, being the Grandmaster’s wife certainly has it’s perks. I do like going to the village on the weekends though to browse the vendors and get local specialties or delicious dim sum that I don’t often make myself. I CAN make char siu bao but they taste better made by the old aunties in town than mine do. So yeah I figured it’s been a while since I’ve done a little self ship update or any writing about it in general so here’s just a little something.
It’s Christmas in July! Yes the kids get presents, we generally stick to traditional Chinese holidays and heritage but the kids are mixed so they do get to celebrate both their parents traditions. I don’t have a strong heritage, I’m Scandinavian but my grandparents were the type of immigrants to assimilate entirely and become “American” rather than hold on to traditions, but Christmas and Halloween are very dear to me so we always celebrate them. Bi-Han loves me enough to even get the whole clan in on the celebrations and let the kids go trick or treating throughout the compound but I’m getting off topic because it’s Christmas! We don’t get extravagant presents for the kids in July just what my family calls “little stinkies” which are just like cute, silly presents like a new stuffed animal for Bingbing, some art supplies for Shixue and new soccer balls for Xiao-Han and Xiao-Bing. Usually I would make a nice Christmas dinner but July has been so odd this year that it snuck up on me so we’ll just have a nice bowl of Bean and Bacon soup and some crusty bread, Bi-Han might make some dumplings as well if he’s not too busy today. We put the Christmas tree up to enjoy and Syzoth is rather perplexed by the holiday as a whole as Outworld doesn’t have Christmas but he’s enjoying learning about it and having a trial run before real Christmas happens. As usual he’ll just have grubs and crickets as it’s what he can stomach, I feel guilty not being able to cook for him but he never complains. Sareena has even gotten in on the festivities and donned an ugly Christmas sweater, we have gifts for her children as well but shopping for half demons is a little complicated but they really like sweets which they don’t get often so in addition to some toys we got all the kids some tanghulu. We’ll spend the evening watching Christmas specials and enjoying some hot cocoa, it’s always cool in Arctika so it’ll be nice. I’m excited to spend some quality time with the whole family before the chaos of a newborn comes along but we’re all excited about the egg hatching well all of us but Bingbing, she’s used to being the baby and isn’t excited to be a big sister. I’m sure she’ll be fine once the hatchling is here and she realizes her parents still love her just as much as before. I hope you loves are having a good Christmas in July if you celebrate and if you don’t I hope you’re having a wonderful day in general!
I miss Bi-Han, I miss my happy little family I had with him before I decided to have a polycule with Syzoth and Sareena. I don’t regret expanding my self ship but I just feel like Bi-Han isn’t the type to share so it makes imagining the whole thing working well a little difficult. I know he’s excited our family is expanding but I can’t help but wonder if he’s jealous they’re not biologically his this time? I don’t know my head has been all over the place lately and I’m probably overthinking things. Hopefully the egg will hatch soon and I’ll be busy focused on that instead. Syzoth is beyond excited and spends so much time bonding with the egg and chirping back at it, I’ve let him kind of take the lead because this pregnancy has been so unusual. He’s so cute with it and so happy to be under the heat lamps with it, life in Arctika is hard when you’re cold blooded.
