    Summary

    He thinks about clan leader Lan throughout the ride back to Qinghe.

     

    Meng Yao grips his knees tightly in the carriage, eyes downturned even if no one is looking. His skin burns everywhere Lan Xichen touched it: the diffuse warmth of his hands through Meng Yao’s sleeves where he raised him from a bow, a glancing touch at his shoulder he doesn’t think the clan leader even noticed, and his hand, his hand. Meng Yao rubs his right thumb over the arch of his left hand, the span of his left index. Goosebumps shiver across his body. Meng Yao rages at himself. He has nearly forgotten how to breathe.

     

    He closes his eyes and sees Lan Xichen’s smile. It is criminal, that smile. It is unspeakable. A slap in the face is what it is, that gentleness, that unguarded kindness—an open-handed slap that knocks him to his knees. It is a weapon Lan Xichen does not know the power of and should not be trusted to wield. It is unforgivable.

     

    It is unforgettable.

     

    Meng Yao needs more of it.

     

    -

    Or, Meng Yao returns from Cloud Recesses with a new burden.

    Summary

    It is the eve of battle. The Baratheon host is approaching the dregs of the late Rhaenrya Targaryen's army, spear and sword in hand. The Lord of Riverrun has fallen ill on the march, and the combined forces of the Riverlands wait with bated breath to see if he will recover. Kermit Tully, the heir to the high seat of Riverrun, sits beside his father's deathbed while his brother Oscar prepares for bloodshed. The coming conflict will decide the future of Westeros... as well as the bonds between two brothers.

    This is where I'll be dumping my drabbles about my two adorabara children (lol sorry that was an awful pun but I couldn't help myself), and other pairings that I happen to write about.
    The ratings vary from drabble to drabble. They're not all explicit.
