Unwritten scene (and probably not entirely accurate) from my fan fiction and my Modern AU Quan Yizhen and Yin Yu ;)

Yin Yu, despite his reincarnation, remains an excellent swordsman :D

It was really exhausting work, but really enjoyable to bring to fruition. I hope you like it!

like a place i could return to.

(on missing a home that no longer exists.)

Nearly eight hundred years into his second ascension and subsequent banishment, Xie Lian hasn’t yet learned how to unlearn missing home.

In his travels, he comes across many people. Little kids who take to him like a moth to flame. Cultivators who sense that he has power in him and cultivators who don’t. Mothers and grandmothers who think he’s a young runaway from home, and during times of war and unrest, a young refugee, even, and welcome him into their homes, insisting he cannot be alone for as long as he remains in the area.

Xie Lian does not say it, but those are his favorite kind of people. The kind who do not care what he looks like or what assumptions can be made about him, or the correct assessment that he’s a bit of an odd duck, and simply see a young man in need of some rest and maybe some company. Though he does not say it, he is hundreds of years older than they are and he longs for company so very desperately it cracks at his voice and he has to breathe for long moments before he remembers how to speak again.

They welcome him into their homes, and he eats meals with them, warm and hearty and filling, and he remembers the luxurious meals he was served in the palaces of Xianle. They ask if he wants second helpings and though his stomach has shrunken and he no longer has the capacity to eat as much as he used to, he agrees, for he isn’t the picky, spoiled prince who never worried about food anymore. He can eat anything, and even the worst of the food he comes across cannot quite compare to the atrocities his mother tried her very best at.

(There is no way to replicate them except to try his own hand, and it does not taste the same.)

He longs for the taste of Xianle food, the snacks and the staples he took for granted as a prince, yet he has no talent of his own and his memory is rather insistent on scattering holes and gouges across itself, and who in living memory can remember anything but the bloody downfall of Xianle?

The people who take him in try to keep him entertained, sometimes, and this is often how he learns about the currently favored kinds of song and dance and storytelling, and it’s such great fun, yet he misses the song and dance and storytelling of nearly eight centuries ago and who is going to sing to him if not himself, and who will witness him dance or listen to him telling stories if not Ruoye? He smiles and claps and there is something hollow ringing in his chest if he allows himself to think about it, so he does not think about it. He soothes Ruoye under his sleeve and allows himself to fall into merriment and joy.

(Even the language is not the same. The little quirks, the turns of phrase, the idioms, not even the gutter-rat slang—none of it is the same.)

(He is so lonely, and somehow allowing himself to reach out for people makes him lonelier.)

And when he falls asleep at night, he often dreams of better days. Sometimes he dreams of Wuming, sometimes he dreams of a mother’s warm embrace and a father’s approving smile with a hand laid upon his head, and he wakes up crying, Ruoye fluttering around in an attempt to soothe him in return. Regardless of whether he is comfortable or not, he wakes every once in a while longing for what is not there anymore, and really, what else is there to do but calm himself down and simply carry on?

Xie Lian is an old, old god, and he misses home. He’s lived such a very long life and he does not know how to unlearn missing that which he destroyed himself.

TIFU by planning a wedding for myself, my husband, and our "fiancé"

(L)

I know the title sounds weird, but I promise it gets worse.

For a little bit of background and context: I (32M) am married to my incredibly doting, amazing husband (26M) and have been for 5 years as of last month. We have both been engaged to Fiancé (24M), an old friend of his, for just about half a year now. We'd been dating for a year prior to our engagement, making our relationship a year and a half in total.

Since we got engaged about 6 months ago, I've been diligently planning the wedding.

My husband has been stressed as of recent, so I took it upon myself to handle all the details, hoping to surprise him with a day that would make his heart sing — just like he did for me on our wedding.

I've picked a venue, drafted invites for our closest friends, and even coordinated with my husband's personal assistant to develop the menu for the reception. It's been a long, arduous task, but I'm devoted to making this the best day of their lives.

The problem?

Last night, my husband pulled me aside to have a "very serious" conversation with him. I was concerned, of course, because he's seemed increasingly restless as of late. So, we sat down with some warm tea and after a little hesitating and a lot of reassurances he loves me...

My husband suggested the idea of inviting Fiancé into our relationship.

That's right. You read that right.

Our fiancé? NOT our fiancé.

In fact, come to find out, we haven't even been dating!

My husband hasn't been stressed because of wedding planning, contrary to my belief. No, he's been stressed because he didn't know how to approach the topic without it coming across the wrong way.

Apparently, I'm the only one who thought we were already together!

In the end, my husband got a good laugh out of it, deeply amused by the whole situation.

I, on the other hand, am mortified.

Looking back on it all, I really should've known sooner. However, it's not as if I was hiding my planning!

We went cake tasting! I took them (individually) to the tailor! I can't even begin to imagine what my husband and our (Not) Fiancé thought was going on.

And to top if all off, his personal assistant — the one who was helping me plan? Apparently, he knew everything the entire time and was just waiting for us to figure it out. (He is now very conveniently busy with work my husband did not assign him whenever I try to speak with him.)

I don't think I'll ever be able to live this down.

TL;DR - I planned an entire wedding for myself, my husband and our fiancé, come to find out we weren't even dating said fiancé, and my husband has actually been trying to figure out how to ask if we can be, the whole time.

edit: we are asking him out this evening.

I do understand your perspective, if you

However, my husband and I are very

happy and deeply in love.

Okay but what DID they think was going on?

Also props to the PA for having the chance to clear this all up & instead choosing to watch it all devolve.

u/scrapgege OP • 15h

According to my husband, he thought

the cake was me hinting that I wanted

more sweets while simultaneously

treating out Not-Fiancé, 2 birds 1 stone

style. As for the tailor, he says, and I

quote, "I had no idea what you were

planning, I was just happy to indulge

your whims." So...

edit: Not-Fiancé (now actual boyfriend)

was apparently "just along for the ride

and free food."

he is so real for that tbh.

u/west-south17 10h

I think we're all ignoring the fact that this presumed relationship went on for 1.5 YEARS.

Our fiancé? NOT our fiancé.

How do you do that? Genuinely, how? What about the proposal? How does one make this error???

••• ⤶ ⬆ 127 ⇩

u/covermyblow 7h

No way this is legit. Did you just not think there was anything weird about your relationship? Like, did you kiss "as buddies" or something?

If not, how do you go 1.5 years without thinking it's weird or there's something strange about the fact that your partner has never been physically affectionate with you?

OP is either a liar or wayyyy oblivious.

••• ⤶ ⬆ 71 ⇩

u/scrapgege OP • 2h

Well first, kissing isn't by any means

a requirement for a relationship. But, I

just figured we were moving slow. He's

not always a very touchy-feely person,

and my husband and I respect his

boundaries. In fact, it would have been

fine even if we weren't just moving slow

and he simply didn't want any of that. As

long as he's by our sides, we'll be happy.

That's all that matters, really, is knowing

we love and care for each other, and will

always be there. Kissing is a bonus, not

a necessity.
