Wangji turned the corner just beyond the the entrance to Cloud Recesses and stopped. He let himself take in the sight there. Just outside the gates stood Xuanyu. His arms were crossed over his chest, cupping his elbows with his hands.  

For a moment, Wangji didn’t move, so that he could memorize the sight. It was a familiar one, but that did not make it any less beautiful to him. The way that Xuanyu’s fingers fidgeted with his sleeve, the pale color of his eyes as they searched for Wangji, the way the expression on his face turned from anxiety to joy when their gazes met. That was the moment that Wangji stepped forward, going up the rest of the path to the gate. 

Wangji pulled a small bag from his sleeve and dropped it into Xuanyu’s hands. 

“What’s this?” Xuanyu started opening it before Wangji could answer him. Normally he’d wait, look the package itself over before even considering opening it. But anything from Wangji was greeted with instant trust. “sweets?”

“Mn.”

“You’re sweet.” 

1. What OTPs in your fandom(s) do you just not get?

Going a little old school with this, but Relena/Heero from Gundam Wing. I see Heero as being really really Aromantic. There’s no denying that Relena and Heero have a very deep, very intense, bond that develops through the course of the show but I don’t see that bond as being inherently romantic. 

10. Most disliked arc? Why?

The Inferno Arc for the X-Men line in Marvel Comics. Becuase it did a complete character assassination on one of my favorite characters, Madelyne Pryor, as well as being the tail end to Scott’s own character assassination that started way back in X-Factor #1. And neither character has really been able to recover since. 

23. Unpopular character you love?

Madelyne Pryor! My girl, my lady, I love her so much. She’s such an understated badass, especially pre-Inferno Arc. She able to hold her own against so many other strong personalities, and was able to carve a place for herself as more than Scott’s Satellite, with relationships developing between herself and Kitty Pryde, herself and Storm, herself and Wolverine, herself and Colossus and the rest of the Australia-era X-Men. 

Kissing prompt

Xucie saw Theron for the first time in 5 years. 

She just wanted a few minutes with him. She needed to know if the way her heart was beating was him, or some horrible side effect of the carbonite freezing. She hoped it was the second one. Everything was fine until she read his letter, everything would have been fine if she didn’t read his letter, or see his face or his sad eyes, his cute smile, his lovely nose. 

She caught up with him, they talked business, thats what would bore her out of this feeling she had. It didn’t.

“And I guess Lana’s filled you in on the rest. Want you to know, I’ll do everything I can to keep things running smoothly around here.”

“So you’ll take care of anyone who needs you?” The words came out, NO, NO, NO, KRIFF, FUCK, WHY DID I JUST SAY–

“Not just anyone.” He paused. Xucie’s heart was leaping out of her chest. “I’m sorry I couldn’t be there to thaw you out.”

Xucie felt like she was about to explode. 

“I haven’t been one of those ‘destiny’ people in a long time but this? Sure feel’s like it.”

“If you mean being here with you, I agree.” She couldn’t wait, she pulled him in, hard. 

Theron was suprised she made the first move, like he was planing to do this first. 

“SORRY, sorry, I’m- are you sure you–” Xucie was cut off by Theron. They were passionate, hands finding all the familiar spots, the ones on Yavin. “I’m gonna take that as a yes then.” she exclaimed as he kissed her neck. 

15. A text for help

Txt: Hey Mr. Anime, care to come and help in the library? You’ll probably like it.

2. What was their first impression of each other?

Lana discovers Lance eight hours into a twelve hour records review, one of the endless many that marks her first months as the head of Sith Intelligence.

She’s horrified.

Lance is vaguely aware of Lana when she takes over. It’s all the same with these power plays. A new recipient for reports and a quick burst over the encrypted line to Republic SIS. She has no professional opinion.

5. Did either of them try to resist their feelings?

The first date doesn’t mean anything for Lance. It’s pleasant conversation in the cantina and a proffered elbow; an escort home and an invitation.

The second date is rescheduled so often that Lance just shows up with a prepared dinner and a killer smile. It’s fun.

Before the third date, she realizes she has to tell her. It would be unforgivable not to.

7. Do they prefer verbal or physical affection?

Lana likes being swept up in it all.

8. Who’s more likely to convince the other to come back to sleep in the morning?

6)  Preferred Shepard backstory (colonist, earthborn, spacer)?

I feel like ultimately, these are mostly going to be justifications based on how I played Plain Jane, but whatever. Why would anyone following this blog expect otherwise?

They all have some strengths. Spacer is a natural fit for the Alliance from the start and Colonist has one hell of a motivation, but there’s just something about Earthborn looking down on Earth blooming in flames during the ME3 opening that works.

7)  Preferred class?

Engineer, for the robot friends. By the time ME3 rolls around you have so many available robot friends that your other squadmates are basically just there for banging cutscenes.

19)  Was everyone loyal at the end?

Yes, because I’m a completionist and a people-pleaser.

47)  Something you do in EVERY playthrough, no matter what?

Get twizzlered with Chakwas. (Except for Lola in ME3, since... well, Lola.)

55)  Who would you date if you could (not as Shepard)?
