“The best gifts of life” (Jing Yuan & Reader)
A/N: LMAOOO pls I'm so sorry again, this is so self-indulgent I'm crying, bear with me don't look at me and don't read this, I am having my rare lee moment before I either stop posting stuff for another year or finally get to work-
“J-Jing Yuan, I'm dyihihing!”
“Sure you are, my friend~”
You were alone in the garden with the general, your high-pitched giggles filling the air around the two of you, as you tried to escape his playful grasp. His free hand was softly squeezing your right hip and side, his wiggling fingers occasionally teasing your bottom ribs while he wrapped his other arm around your waist, holding you in place with ease.
“I'm sohohorry for tickling y-you! It wohon't happen again!~”
But you both knew it definitely would happen again.
“I bet you'd try again if I let you go,” the general chuckled. “You can't help yourself when it comes to making me laugh, can you?~”
His fingers danced all over the side of your ribcage, getting dangerously close to your underarm...
“Nohohot there!~” you squealed, immediately pressing your elbow to your side, trying to hide your ticklish spots from him. Jing Yuan laughed softly, a playful gleam in his eyes.
“Not the ribs, not the belly, not the armpits. What's next? Are we gonna have to check every inch of your body just to see where else you are ticklish? Maybe you'll like some other spots more~”
You could only giggle and squeak in response, wiggling around in his hold as his fingers brushed over the sides of your tummy.
“P-plehehease!~”
“Your weak spot really is everywhere, isn't it?” he teased. “Nowhere is safe!”
A few more giggles escaped you, making Jing Yuan smile, before he decided to let you go.
“Alright, alright. Sorry, I got a little carried away, my friend. Are you feeling okay?” the white haired man asked, a hint of apology and care in his gaze.
“H-huh?.. Oh,” you immediately stopped giggling as soon as Jing Yuan let you go. Well, that was a little bit... disappointing? “Y-yeah, I'm good. Don't worry about it.”
“...Do you not want to get up?” the general asked, raising an eyebrow and tilting his head to the side out of concern. He was surprised to see you in such a still position, wondering about the sudden silence. “Is something the matter?”
“Oh, no, Jing, please don't worry! I just...” you blushed slightly, looking away, your voice quiet as you mumbled, “...I didn't want- I-I mean-! I mean you didn't have to stop...”
“I didn't have to stop?” Jing Yuan repeated your words in a soft and quiet voice, staring at your back for a few more moments. Ooooh...
“You enjoyed it,” he said with a grin, “You enjoyed being tickled, did you?”
“H-hey now, I didn't say that!” your cheeks became even more red in a second, and you frowned at the general in embarrassment.
“Oh? But do you deny it?~” Jing Yuan chuckled at your quick response. “Okay, so you didn't enjoy being tickled, then?” he teased. The white haired man looked right at you, an endearing smile on his face as he waited for an honest answer.
“Y-you're so meannn...” you practically whined, this time not daring to turn around to look at him, your face felt like it was on fire.
“That's not quite of an answer,” the general teased, amused. “Is that a 'yes' or a 'no', my friend?”
“...That's just not fair.”
“Is it really that embarrassing to say that you like the tickles?” he grinned as you kept trying to dodge his questions, “How about I make you a deal? If you admit to liking being tickled, I promise to do it often”.
You could've sworn that Jing Yuan had a hard time holding back his amused laughter when he saw how quickly you turned around to look at him, your eyes wide and face flushed. You stared at each other silently for a few seconds.
“Sooo..?” the general smiled, raising his eyebrows expectantly and crossing his arms in front of his chest.
“...I... don't mind it, I guess,” you huffed, looking away.
Another short pause.
“I had fun too, my friend,” the white haired man confessed to you in a gentle voice, letting you know there was no need to be embarrassed, “I enjoyed playing with you like that”.
“Stoooop, you're not m-making all of this easier-”
“And I'm glad to hear that you ‘don't mind’ it, because that means I can do this!~” the general suddenly made a move towards you, wrapping his strong arms around you with a playful grin and tackling you to the grass, as his wiggling fingers found your ribs again, making you burst out into another giggle fit.
As the saying went, the best gifts of life were the little things...
A/N: bro I would let him tease me until I fricking scream and sob and lying on the floor and I would still thank him ...wait nononono listen, listen- nononono listen, listen-

Everyday I play Baldur's Gate 3 I am filled with joy by Karlach.
Her idle animation is her boppin to some song in her head. Sometimes she breaks out to a full dance.
She hums to herself, a lot.
She swears, a lot.
She's literally been to hell and back and still treats every single person she meets with so much kindness.
She keeps a stuffed teddy bear in her tent.
She loves playing games. She loves having kids around to play games with.
The way she talks up every single person in the camp. She's literally the #1 hype man. Really. She never says anything bad about anyone, cheers on everyone at their lowest point, and is so genuinely happy when they are happy.
She got excited about Shadowheart's forehead.
Wyll introduces her as a devil he needs to kill. She immediately makes him her best friend.
Karlach is literally the most genuinely wonderful character. She literally brightens my day. I've never appreciated a fictional character so much.

Spiced Maple-Bourbon Apple Pie Filling
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp maple syrup
dash salt
dash ginger
dash nutmeg
dash cloves
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup cold water
1 tbsp flour
1 tbsp bourbon
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Fuji apples
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat, stir in maple syrup, salt, and spices. Return the sauce to heat and bring to a simmer. Shake cold water and flour in a small container until smooth, then stir into the sauce. Continue stirring and remove from heat as the mixture thickens up quickly. Stir in bourbon and vanilla extract until smooth.
Peel apples and chop into small cubes, stirring into the sauce as you go. Transfer apples and sauce to casserole dish or ramekins, top with pie dough as desired (in shapes or lattice, etc), and brush pie crust with a beaten egg, then sprinkle with raw sugar. Bake at 375 for 25 minutes, then cover to prevent crust from burning. Bake for another 35 minutes then remove from the oven to cool on a rack.
This amount was made to use up a small amount of extra pie dough. Doubling this recipe would probably be plenty for a full pie.
If baking without a dough topping, cover casserole or ramekin dish from the start and bake for 1 hour. Serve with pastries, whipped cream, ice cream, etc.
