But like i said, i do want to get back into writing so i am finally sitting down to finish writing the halfway done stuff!

This is set in a star trek like!au I might eventually write more into where Ba Ye is an empath and Rishan is an android.

10. hiding their face in the other’s neck

Yatou is no stranger to people being rushed into her medbay. There has even been a few memorable -- in the worse way possible -- occasions when patients had been directly teleported to a bed.

It’s not exactly part of the routine here, but it’s not unexpected either. In fact, if more than a couple of weeks pass between these kind of incidents, she -- along with the rest of the medical staff -- will start growing wary and prepare for the worse. Something which inevitably turns out to be a good thing.

This is not one of those time. The last away mission was only four days ago and everyone on that team suffered from a very bad case of indigestion when they failed to remember one very important rule from basic training. In other words: don’t eat unknown fruits native to a newly-discovered planet, no matter how much they look like Earth’s plums. Yatou had been as disappointed in them as Fo Ye had been furious.

i’m so sorry, i’m SO sorry

Yatou: *crying*This book is so sad.

Erye: ...

Erye: Yatou, this is a cook book.

Yatou:*still crying* I know, the recipes fucking suck.

"I have to ask. Just what are you doing?"

"It's your birthday. You need a birthday cake."

"Am I still your doctor?"

"Of course!"

"And have I or have I not strictly forbidden you to spend more than half an hour at a time standing in the kitchen cooking?"

"Yes, but...."

"Do. Not. Yes. But. Me, young lady."

"A-Xing, I'm fifty-nine years old. I'll be sixty soon enough!"

"And I expect you to make it there and further. So what are you doing, making me a cake that obviously, obviously, took hours to bake and decorate?"

"I had help. Lots of help. I just told Er-ye what to do. Mostly."

"I didn't let her stand up longer than ten minutes, I promise you. You know I wouldn't."

A sigh. "Ouxiang...."

"You like it, don't you?"

Another sigh, a bit softer. More forgiving. "May I ask why The Little Prince?"

"You love the book. Your copy's all tattered from as many times as you've read it. And it has a fox!"

"...."

"Don't you like it?"

"I... I like it, Yatou-furen. I just... was very surprised."

"Oh good! I was worried. Here. Let's cut it. You should get the first slice."

As Er Yue Hong and his wife set to sharing out the bright blue sphere of Western inspired sugar, Yan Sanxing carefully doesn't mention why he reads The Little Prince so often and loves it so much.

They don't need to know that - for him - Yatou is the rose, delicate, pretty and in need of special care. The Little Prince, naturally, is Er Yue Hong, who one day will lose his rose and likely fade afterwards.

And he? He's the fox, tamed and loved and ultimately left behind with the wheat and the sunset and the memories that he would grieve for but never regret.

---

Part of the Doctor Yan Sanxing Fox!Shifter series, where Yan Sanxing survives and becomes a doctor so he can atone as much as possible for his sins. Yatou survives because of him, though she makes it damned difficult sometimes with her insistence on doing things that make his job harder.

Satou: it’s everyone’s weakness.

Drifting pale and ethereal in the foreground is Yatou, wearing white and with her hair unbound. Far behind her, and much more ethereal, Yin Xinyue turns toward her.

It was a terrible place under the earth, and beautiful. She watched the men pick their way over structures rising out of the water, baffling her eyes. What was reflection and what real, what veiled itself only in mist and what hid slyly in the deep water…? She blinked, flicked her eyes upward, and realised the men were gone – only the little island stood in the lake, crowned with an ornamental stone like a great wooden club ...
