lacommunardeDear DMBJ: Small-Med Pairing Exchange Writer or Artist!
Thank you for writing for me! I would love a variety of fics mostly centered around our beloved Zhang Rishan Fu Guan and/or Qi Tiezui Baye and their relationships with each other or with either Foye or Liang Wan (or both, I am always up for them having several relationships across their time alive).
I would love to have a fic influenced by the fact that Zhang Rishan is qilin blooded, and that in the novella M9: What Happened in Xiangxi, Baye is mentioned as having a family rule about not doing readings for qilin tattooed individuals.
General likes:
I tend to like fairly dark things with a happy or bittersweet ending (ok, who am I kidding, I love crying my heart out as well)
Chinese Civil War, Second-Sino Japanese War are fine
post 1949 is absolutely fine too. (If you want to go full "Foye wtf?"/Mystic Nine extras while Baye and Zhang Rishan watch, either in a FuBa or a FoBa or both situation, I would love that)
I am absolutely fine with age gaps.
I am also absolutely fine with past they count as an adult because they have undergone the coming of age ritual and passed with flying colors.
Potential prompts listed under the relationship, (although you in no way have to do one of these)!
1. Zhang Rishan x Qi Tiezui Baye - both negotiating and dealing with Zhang Rishan qilin blood and Baye's family's rule that they are really not supposed to read qilin tattooed individuals, how do they both bend that rule so they can be together. When did they first meet? How do they deal with the Zhang family ancient manor declaring Baye functionally a Zhang or has enough Zhang blood (via soup in the book!) or bodily fluids in him to count as a Zhang. (Does Foye afterward when he hears the story assume it's one bodily fluid when it's actually the other? Which one would it be more fun if Foye assumed for it to actually be the other?) How does Baye deal with the fact that he's now considered Zhang enough by Zhang family ancient manor what with his family prohibitions?
1b. On that note, does heating Zhang Rishan's qilin blood and trying to transfer its bug-proof properties accidentally do to Baye the same transfer as was done in Southern Archives? How would he find out? What would his reaction be?
1c. Trans man Zhang Rishan x Qi Tiezui - Zhang Rishan is trans. Potentially he and Qi Tiezui are Qi Yu's parents (maybe the Qi family rule against reading qilin tattooed individuals interacting with qilin blood is why Qi Yu is so bizarre). But also, how does Zhang Rishan react when he first sees Wu Xie, given that Qi Yu looks exactly like him and writes exactly like him and even puts his books exactly like him?
1d. Zhang Rishan gets partially tianshou'd at Siguniang. This can be as angsty as you like and can involve Golmud while Zhang Rishan recovers himself.
1 and/or 2 idea: Someone finds out Zhang Rishan is qilin blooded and kidnaps him, and Foye and Baye team up to get Zhang Rishan out of there. Could involve Foye x Baye, could involve Rishan x Baye, but either way, both of them care about Rishan a lot and he's kidnapped (either by the Leader of "IT" or the Wangs up to you)!
2a. Zhang Da Foye x Qi Tiezui Baye
Baye dealing with Zhang Da Foye's Zhang Da Foye-ness, however you would like to interpret that.
Foye seems to disregard Baye's fengshui and prediction a whole lot to his face, but he's still over there asking for them all the time and having Baye come along.
Baye can canonically only read Foye some of the time. Other time he get a sometimes catastrophically wrong prediction. (Aka, exploring the What Happened in Xiangxi novella with its implication about their potential weirdness). Does Baye have any thoughts about why? Has he told Foye he's having a tough time reading him? Does Foye know Baye's family's rules? Does Baye know how closely Foye's is related to a qilin tattooed Zhang?
3. Zhang Rishan x Liang Wan - Potential ideas include:
3a. Zhang Rishan reveling in the fact that he is marrying a Wang (though one who didn't know she was a Wang, but still, converting a Wang to their side!), and giving Liang Wan training so she is at least able to work out next to the Zhangs at any family get togethers. Picture her going into a Zhang family event where the Hai branch is working out topless or in the outfits Haixing (or A-Ning) wear, so their tattoos are visible, and just she starts working out too and her phoenix tattoo becomes visible and everyone else is like "must you, Zhang Rishan?" and he is like "yes."
3b. Could involve pregnancy and Zhang Rishan being a very overprotective soon-to-be- dad about that, and telling her about qilin blood and how rare and absolutely secret that is.
3c. Could involve whatever Zhang marriage rituals you want to come up with because Zhang Rishan wants to make it official. (Are there even weirder ones for qilin blooded individuals?)
3d. Might involve Zhang Qiling blessing the wedding and then cornering her and being like, "tell me everything that went down with Wu Xie, and I will tell you what I know about the Wang family" because he strongly suspects Wu Xie will not tell him what he wants to know. (Maybe it's before Wu Xie actually tells him about what he did)
3e. Or could involve Zhang Haixing doing an "I'll make a Zhang (branch) furen out of you" and sets about training her (and potentially only then does Liang Wan find out that nobody in the Hai branch realizes Zhang Rishan is qilin blooded).
Any of these or anything you write of these relationships would be awesome!
DNW:
no omegaverse
no Yan Sanxing
no Liu Sang in a relationship with either Zhang Rishan or the Iron Triangle
