A Gen-ish Prompt Meme!

[frith_in_thorns]

I am feeling happy and celebratory, so I want to host a prompt meme!

All fandoms welcome. Hurt/comfort loved ^_^

How to play
1. Leave prompts below! Put the fandom, main character(s), and a brief description of the you're requesting in the comment header, i.e. "DMBJ, Liu Sang, accidental overhearing", or "W359, space pets". Then use the body of the comment to provide more details.
2. Read the prompts and fill ones you feel like filling! Or make art inspired by them or anything. Please include "Fill" in the comment header so they're easy to locate.

Rules
1. Anyone can write and fill prompts. You don't have to be signed in; anon comments are fine.
2. Links to fills on AO3 etc are also fine.
3. No minimums for prompts or fills.
4. Multiple fills for a single prompt are fine.
5. Prompts and fills should be gen-ish/gen-focused. This rule is because it's my meme and I can :D So established or background relationships can be just ~there~ but not the focus.
6. If you want to make a fill that breaks rule 5, you actually can, just please post it on AO3 and link back with a note that it's rule-breaking :P

Fills

2. Liu Sang sick and grumpy (DMBJ) - frith_in_thorns

DMBJ, Pangzi, cooking

Someone cooks for him, he cooks for someone else, he teaches someone how to cook. Anything goes

Slightly random, but I have a deleted scene from Cascade (when it was purely a comfort-fic, before I abruptly decided to scrub this scene and have a midnight kidnapping instead) that fits your prompt, is it ok if I fling it here?

(I reserve the right to steal it back and shove it into a future fic! I liked the scene, it just wasn't going anywhere.)

Re: DMBJ, Pangzi, cooking

[hils]

Um, YES! And if you want to use it in another fic that would also be awesome!

[frith_in_thorns]

Excellent! I just wanted to check because I didn't write it ~new~ for your prompt so it's a bit of a cheat :P

(That's okay I literally posted a fic earlier today that fills this prompt but it's for an exchange so it's hidden for now. I just wanted more :D)

Liu Sang woke up to find Pangzi also in the apartment and didn't even manage to feel surprised. He and Wu Xie were in the kitchen, dissecting some antiques deal over the background of radio noise. (Liu Sang didn't even own a radio.)

There was light coming in around the edges of the curtains, so it must be the next day. Liu Sang pushed himself cautiously up onto his elbows, and found that his glasses had been joined on the bedside table by a small brass bell. He stared blankly at it for a moment, then sat up the rest of the way. The sleep had definitely been good for him, and he wasn't going to ring for attention, like an impatient hotel customer.

Still, navigating his way out of the bedroom still took far longer than he wanted it to, even though he decided he just couldn't be bothered changing out of the clothes he'd slept in right then. (He justified it to himself by not wanting to chance one Wu Xie or Pangzi walking in on him mid-dressing.) But the radio noise gave him cover, and it wasn't until he was actually standing in the kitchen doorway that either of the other men noticed him.

"Jinx, you're up!" Pangzi said, reaching hastily to switch the radio off. "Didn't you see the bell?"

"I saw it," Liu Sang said, choosing to answer the purely factual question.

"You should have rung it instead of getting out of bed," Pangzi said. "I was going to bring you breakfast."

He actually looked a bit disappointed. Liu Sang didn't bother arguing, but sat down at the table instead, around the side from Wu Xie. He registered for the first time the mound of groceries on the counter-top. "You brought all this food?" he asked.

"I did," Pangzi said. "Tianzhen said you didn't have any."

"I do have food," Liu Sang protested.

"You do not," Pangzi said. "Your fridge was practically empty."

Liu Sang glared at him, then at Wu Xie. "You should have checked the freezer," he complained.

"I did," Wu Xie said, maddeningly amused. "And I found the instant noodles in the cupboard too."

"There you go. Food."

Pangzi snorted. "Ready meals and instant noodles don't count."

"Of course they do," Liu Sang said. "Food's food."

"Absolutely not," Pangzi said. "That sort of rubbish won't help you get well."

"Listen to Pangzi," Wu Xie said. He snatched a piece of fruit out from under Pangzi's chopping knife, and grinned when he got whacked with Pangzi's free hand in response.

None of this, however, solved the key question. "Why?" Liu Sang demanded.

"Why what?" Pangzi asked.

"Why are you —" Unable to find the words, Liu Sang settled for making a sweeping gesture instead.

Pangzi put down his chopping knife so that he could more theatrically look heavenwards and rolled his eyes. "Jinx. Are you really this slow?"

Liu Sang glared at him.

"We're looking after you," Wu Xie said. "You just got out of hospital. You're being looked after."

"We're not accepting arguments at this time," Pangzi added.

Oh no. OH NO! A double whammy of Pangzi cooking AND Wu Xie and Pangzi being adorable! You really know how to hit all of my weaknesses!

He and Wu Xie were in the kitchen, dissecting some antiques deal over the background of radio noise. (Liu Sang didn't even own a radio.)
I love this little detail. If Pangzi is going to cook he wants his own soundtrack, of course

"Jinx, you're up!" Pangzi said, reaching hastily to switch the radio off. "Didn't you see the bell?"
Protecting Liu Sang's ears instinctively I love this!

"Absolutely not," Pangzi said. "That sort of rubbish won't help you get well."

"Listen to Pangzi," Wu Xie said. He snatched a piece of fruit out from under Pangzi's chopping knife, and grinned when he got whacked with Pangzi's free hand in response.
This is just such a perfect example of their relationship. And I love them ganging up on Liu Sang. So good.

"We're looking after you," Wu Xie said. "You just got out of hospital. You're being looked after."

"We're not accepting arguments at this time," Pangzi added.
Arguing with them is futile. He'll learn this eventually.

I can totally see why this got the chop but I am SO HAPPY you shared it because it's adorable and perfect and now I'm going to go to bed and cry over these idiots and how much they love each other.
