Mickrin
Fifth entry of my “Dunmeshi rarepairs I will birth with my own hands if I have to” series. This one’s straight up embarrassing, like of course the shadow version of Chilchuck and Marcille would get me.
It suddenly grabbed me out of nowhere. What got me thinking about it is this exchange, first comic third panel, because like… Woah. He knows she has a thing for Kabru? Or something. And he has NO FEAR. Like it’s so forward and has 0 pretenses lmao. And then I thought… And oh no. Oh no.
"I can fix him" x "I can make her worse"
Very uptight and strict and rules-following and too self-aggrandizing tbh x will not hesitate to insult you to your face and sleazy and free spirit…. Kuro is involved in an ot3 of sorts in my head and basically they drag her into Situations of various moral standing aka scams or idk going to a club god forbid.
I think she needs to relax and get taken down 1 peg maybe, and I think he needs like…….. Someone to teach him what is unhealthy lmao, also remind him to get work benefits, and if they can like get to feel safe and comfy with one another (and god just the road there would be a beautiful trainwreck to watch) they would be gossip besties worsties.
Kabru needs to be the epitome of morals but like, if it’s Mickbell she can lower the bar… Just for him… <3 She can fix him just a little and she’ll be like "wow! Ok I can settle for this amount of upstanding behavior from you Mickbell you get a gold star"
I never expected it ok I read this extra expecting nothing and god knows why I saw him be like "hey u like Kabru right. You’re his babysitter right. Which poor sap is being Kabru’s maid" with 0 fear and her being so casually pissed back at him and idk, how they’re so comfy being not polite with one another but they’re still coworkers-friends despite it… Crazy for how prickly they both are that they manage that much.
They bicker and see each other as annoying at best but weirdly dependable and friends despite it all and……….. I am going to grow them in a lab and observe how I can make it work
MICKBELL IS A REBOUND MORE AT 9???
Maybe Rin and Mickbell have a one night stand and then the aftermath dynamic is this….. She probably regrets it. And then it gets more complex and grows into something odd as she becomes hyperaware of him and they have this little complicity thing going on….
I think cuddling with Kuro (who would be more like a platonic protective & soothing presence in his and Rin’s relationship rather than romo) would destress her actually I think she needs and deserves it. Go to a dog cafe bbygirl it’ll fix you. So what I’m saying is the three of them watch a movie and Rin and Mickbell are sitting on Kuro’s laps and everyone is so comfy. Kuro’s legs die halfway through but he’s self-sacrificing it’s fine….. Actually Mick is on his laps Rin’s just nuzzled into his side. There, fixed.
I am so weirdly invested in them… They’re funky to think about. Rin seeing Mickbell and Kuro like "you guys are aware that what you two have is fucked up right" and then joining them in the messy dynamic 🤝
Put them in situations. That will be all.
The sheer amount of sass on their own, let alone together…
Make them get drunk together it’ll be glorious

With Wei Wuxian trapped in the Cold Springs and fearing the Lan elders hunting him, Lan Sizhui ran deeper in the mountains of the Cloud Recesses.
The cloud folk followed close behind, their presence like cold air to his senses. Soon they had driven him against a wall of stone, thousands of written lines carved deep into its skin. At the edge of his vision, he saw them move, writhe as if trying to reach for him.
The bearded Lan elder pressed him closer to that wall. “You cannot hurt me,” he exclaimed, holding Bichen up to the light. “I am of Lan Wangji’s blood, I am her son. I am Lan Sizhui.”
“We know none by that name,” the elder said once more, repeating what he had said when Lan Sizhui had first arrived. But this time, instead of turning him away from the gates, the elder drew his sword.
In a moment, clouds had drifted between them, obscuring him from their view. He stumbled back towards the stone wall. But curling tendrils wrapped around him, guiding him away from the carved lines that reached for him. To his surprise, he discovered the cloud nearest him was drifting apart. But before he could fear his cover vanishing, he saw how the scraps of white leapt and twisted about him with life of their own.
Cloud rabbits, Lan Sizhui recognized with, swift and wary. Their heads turned and their ears rose, pointing him away from the cloud-shrouded Lans and to a crack in the stone wall he had not seen. It ran from top to bottom, as though struck by a furious hand. And in that crack lay the narrowest path up.
A cloud rabbit leapt before him and onto the first step before regarding him with silent eyes.
He remembered his mother would summon them, in the early morning when the mist hung over his father’s river. Jiang Cheng would send ripples of water to make the clouds eddy, his laughter echoed in the rush of the currents. With a smile, Lan Wangji would merely make her rabbits faster and more agile. But Lan Sizhui had never seen them among the cloudy peaks they had been born from.
Even now she was protecting him in the only way she could. He tightened his grip around Bichen and followed where the rabbits led.

Idk what it is that makes me fixate so hard on one specific thing for years at a time, but I need it to chill out 😭 DnDads has been my only long-term media interest for like 1 and 1/2 years now, and it’s BORING to only like one thing ever lol I’m BORED!!! I need other things to be interested in, but I struggle with getting into new stuff (other than video games) sooo bad :(
That said, if you have DnD podcast recs that have interesting characters……… GIMME 👀 Also where the early episodes aren’t a nightmare to listen to 🙏 I have never listened to any other DnD podcasts, and I think it’s mostly bc the earlier seasons are always poor audio quality or like 3 hours long 😭 I’m also good with any type of narrative podcast. I just want compelling characters and platonic/familial dynamics pls. Stuff I can write sad shit about!! But also not TOO sad the whole time… maybe a little bit silly idk
So far, ones I’ve written down to listen to are Cast Party and Friends at the Table? I don’t know anything about either of them, though so? Also I keep seeing my mutuals posting Oxventure and Woe.Begone (although the latter isn’t a DnD podcast.. I think?) sooooo let me know your thoughts. And recommendations! Send me your propaganda! Tell me about your blorbos
