Tai: What are your intentions with my daughter?

Jaune: The same intentions you had with your wife.

Tai:...

The Branwen Siblings and the Xiao Long Rose Siblings play "The Floor is Lava"

By Debzthenaught

Tai: Raven Branwen! Will you go on a Date with me!

Raven: ... If you best me in a duel, then yes. If I best you, you will not speak for our continued time in beacon.

Tai: Sounds good to me!

~After the Duel~

Tai: So does sushi or barbecue sound better?

Raven: *Holding an Ice pack to her bruised face* Berbacoo.

Tai: Great! Barbeque it is!

~The Present~

Tai: And that's how your mom and I got together.

Yang: ... Will I have to get a girlfriend like that?

Ruby to Yang: If you thought we wouldn't come for you, then you must've forgotten who raised me.

pairing: taiyang xiao long x gn!reader

tags: ex!taiyang (tai dated summer & raven before), obviously crushing!taiyang, exes to friends to lovers, wholesome fluff

to say that taiyang's love life has been messy would be an understatement! he has two ex wives and then there's you, who he might've not married, but still loved nonetheless!

despite all the time that has passed since your break up, taiyang still can't fully forget about you! you still cross his mind ever so often and he wonders how his life might've looked if you were still in it…

so when the two of you do end up crossing paths again, he doesn't hesitate to make you a part of his life again! you might still be hesitant about it, but tai isn't!

he'll talk you into just grabbing a couple drinks with him and catching up again, but after that night of drinking, he continues to be a part of your life

one of taiyang's biggest regrets was letting you go! he still wants to be with you and meeting you again and spending more time together only solidifies that!

taiyang doesn't try to hide his feelings for you! he's making it incredibly obvious that he wants you back, while still holding out until he confesses to you, so you have enough time to think this through!

though once he does confess to you, he truly pours his heart out to you

“can't you see we're meant to be together? this doesn't have to be the end of our story. you and me… we can try again. i'm certain this time it'll work out, don't you think?”

Taiyang: Yes?

Raven: Tai, it's me! Raven!

Taiyang: Raven?

Raven: Your wife? Of almost ten years?

Taiyang: I remember having a wife, but she went missing in Solitas.

Raven: That was me!

Taiyang: Oh...

Summer: Who is it, lover?

Taiyang: This is my wife, the one I was married to before you.

Summer: ...

Raven: ...

Summer: Well, let me shake your hand! It's been an honor to take your husband raw dog in your place!

Raven: ...

Summer: Well, see ya!

Taiyang: Rudy, listen-

Raven: Raven.

Taiyang: Raven, listen. When you went missing, I was inconsolable! I didn't think you'd ever come home, but you can't expect me to not move on! Taiyang, please!

Raven: You're Taiyang.

Taiyang: Right! And I... Look inside. Ruby is almost ten and Yang is already twelve! You can't just expect me to up and leave them!

Raven: You're... You're right... I'm... I'm sorry. Please, live for you. (Walks away, Door shuts)

After needing to take a break the year before, my friends convinced me to return for Artfight 2024, and I’m glad I did! I was part of Team Stardust, and I don’t know how, but I managed to complete 21 attacks – which surpassed my first run of 15 attacks in 2022.

Here’s the first of three parts featuring 7 attacks. Everyone’s characters are labelled in the watermarks, captions, and tags, but they can also be viewed in more detail thru my Artfight profile and my Bluesky thread.
