#yanqing’s happy family au

Ok now I need to know after reading Yanqing’s first word, what was everyone’s reaction when he started calling them Ba, Baba, A-die and auntie? And Mimi of course
Yingxing- When Yingxing got called Baba, it was when Yanqing wanted didn't want him to go to work. Yingxing had put on his coat and getting his phone when Yanqing reached out his arms and said "Baba" with teary eyes. Yingxing was silent, unsure how to process what happened. "Baba!" Yanqing said again. Yingxing did not say anything in response, instead picked up Yanqing and clung to him. He was also an hour late to work and there was a rumor amongst the household staff that he had cried.
Dan Feng- He absolutely cried when Yanqing called him "Ba!" They were strolling through the garden at the Alchemy Commission. Yanqing loved the water and the cool air despite the fact his father was more concerned with keeping him warm. Yanqing had patted his father's face and horns and shouted out "Ba!" Dan Feng went on to brag to everyone at the Commission about his son's accomplishments.
Jingliu and Baiheng- While Jingliu did not care much for what Yanqing called her, knowing it would be "Master" once Yanqing was older enough to pick up a sword, Baiheng cared a lot. "Say Auntie! A-un-ti!" Baiheng put a lot of work in after the "Cat" incident. That work did pay off a month latter when Yanqing, with his big eyes and chubby cheeks, "Ah-Ti" to Jingliu when asking to be picked up. Jingliu, of course, did not say or show any emotions but Baiheng could tell she was happy. Baiheng, on the other hand, was ecstatic that her plan finally worked and sent the video to the group chat.
Jing Yuan- Jing Yuan was called "cat" for the longest time. This was likely due to his hair looking like Mimi's fur. However, one day when Yanqing was on his father's lap while the general was looking at reports, he wanted to show his father the white lion plushie. It had came with no warning, just "A-Die!" Jing Yuan had paused and looked down, his eyes resembling an owl. All it took was another "A-Die!", a wave of the plushie, and a gummy smile to get Jing Yuan to abandon his work for the day.
Mimi- Mimi was called "Cat" for the longest time but she didn't care. She didn't need to be called over by Yanqing, she came over when she wanted to which was all the time. It wasn't until Yanqing was over a year old that he finally started calling Mimi by her name after hearing people say it for so long. Mimi continued to not care and still did as she pleased.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ASK!!!! :)

Honestly, am just falling in love with your Found Family AU, and then all over again... So, I'm just gonna leave this idea here; Jing Yuan taking a day off to slowly introduce the reader and their daughter to Mimi and the birbs that call his hair home and help them get accustomed to the animals. Wouldn't be surprised if Mimi develops a protective instinct over them. Bonus points; when lil one is old enough to wander around with Yanqing on Mimi's back. (coping that Mimi isn't dead in this AU)
I never thought abt how Mimi would be incorporated!!! 😭💕
I love the thought of you being completely blind sighted by it- Jing Yuan is so used to her presence that he never thought to mention it. Imagine being pregnant and already anxious enough visiting the general’s house for the first time, and there’s a lion waiting beyond the door?
Despite how Jing Yuan thinks it’s rather cute when you reach out for him and cling to him so desperately, he does feel bad. He definitely should have warned you, and it was his fault he didn’t think about it. But he assures you that Mimi would not bring you harm-
(As long as she is happy and fed. She is a wild animal, in the end)
Because of your pregnancy, I think Mimi would warm up to you rather quickly. I don’t think she’d understand why you keep scooting away from her when she lays next to you- the lion growing rather peeved because she is resolute to follow you around no matter what. It doesn’t take a lot to gather that she’s trying to keep an eye on you.
You’d warm up to Mimi eventually. Especially after the time that you were helping jing yuan in the kitchen and you were reaching up for a plate and ended up losing your balance. It was all Jing Yuan could do to catch the plate in your hand before it fell on your head, and he could only watch as he realized you were going to fall.
But there was Mimi, right behind you in a flash from where she’d been watching the two of you from behind the counter. She’s a big girl, using her weight from behind your legs to shove you back on your feet. The two of you could only stare at one another, shocked that you weren’t on the ground. Who knew an animal could be so quick and smart…?
This time, you were more than happy to sit with Mimi and let her rest her big head on your belly as Jing Yuan gently but firmly told you to rest until dinner was done.
Things are complicated once the baby is born. While you’ve come to trust and love Mimi, she’s a very big and strong animal and you’re wary to bring her to Jing Yuan’s. I imagine Jing Yuan and Yanqing want to help as much as they can once the baby’s finally here (they were the only ones you had that could help, really)- but it was definitely a bit tiring as you couldn’t bring the newborn to jing yuans quite yet for this reason.
But once shes a few weeks along, still fragile but not as fragile; and Jing Yuans been bringing a few of the babies things to his place for Mimi to scent and grow used to, you’d finally be able to introduce them. I imagine Mimi had been quite anxious the whole time you were away as well, Jing Yuan mentioning how the lion would pace around the front door and was a lot less inclined to eat as she usually was. (Look at that, you even have mimi wrapped around ur finger)
I love thinking about mimi being obsessed with the baby 🫠💕 riding on her back is so cute, she’s the only one allowed (and the correct size) to do such a thing. I imagine the first time you see Mimi chuffing at the baby and nuzzling her with her big nose, you would probably melt right then and there 😔

CYCRANE KILLER - A YANQING SERIAL KILLER AU
TW/CW FOR MURDER, VIOLENCE, DISMEMBERMENT, GENERAL MENTAL INSTABILITY, MENTIONS OF ABUSE
AU INFO ↓
after the disastrous battle at dragonprayer terrace, yanqing is left disheartened, confused, and alone. he was just defeated by 2 criminals, and the one person he trusted with his whole being left him there with no explanation.
he gets healed at the alchemy commission, and returns home. jing yuan eventually recovers, and... everything returns to some sense of normalcy. no 'i'm sorry', no 'are you okay?', no nothing. he receives assignments as usual, and goes through with them with ease.
during an assignment in cloudford, he encounters a man who was on the run and had a warrant out for his arrest for domestic abuse. yanqing pursued the man until he accidentally cornered him with some particularly violent mara-struck, and was killed before he could stop them.
that night, he couldn't stop thinking about the man. he had let a civilian die. but... that man was a terrible person. he had a family that loved him, and he hurt them in return. yanqing felt an unexplainable burst of 'satisfaction' or even 'happiness'. that man would never hurt anybody again.
a terrible idea appeared in his head. what if he purposely killed people like those?
it's extremely illegal and goes against his duty as a cloud knight, but they would deserve it and he's just so, so frustrated. so, he looks into a couple cases and finds one he takes interest in. if he wants to go through with this, he can't use yanzhuo or his ice swords; it would make his identity too obvious. he grabs a blade he's been itching to test out, dons a cloak and leaves during the night.
the break-in and murder is easy enough. most people on the luofu stand no chance against him. adrenaline is rushing through his veins, and now there's a body on the floor and his dagger is covered in blood.
the cleanup is simple; he has the knowledge and resources available to make it look as if his target had just vanished during the night. he dismembers and disposes of the body and returns home. he had just killed another civilian... but they were a terrible person— no, they're not even a person. they're just vermin, unworthy of the title of 'human' and waiting to be eliminated. he feels static in his head.
in the following weeks, he does his best to avoid searching up information about his target. yanqing listens in to gossip instead, and gathers that they had been reported missing but no traces were found. he had gotten away with murder.
and he was going to do it again.
the next few nights, he claims more lives; lives of those unworthy of them. after the murders, the static in his head clears, but comes back later. they disappear during the night without a trace.
while disposing of a body, yanqing encounters a partially broken down cycrane with sentience, like his swords. he fixes it up, and it says it doesn't want to 'return to a mundane life of endless deliveries', so he takes it home and hides it. after a bit of searching, he gives it a name: rosebane.
the cases are starting to catch the attention of the higher-ups. the public now knows about the 'mysterious disappearances', and rumors start spreading like wildfire. some claim it's a monster, other say it's a stalker, and some are claiming that it's a whole group of people. nobody suspects him a bit. tensions are high.
yanqing doesn't want the public to worry too much. rumors of a monster could put the cloud knights on high alert. if he let any witnesses see him, they would know it was a human. and if he brings rosebane, they would know it's the same person, and not a group of people. rosebane wouldn't reveal anything about his real identity, and would be particularly useful for tracking down targets. a monster would be extremely concerning, but a person would be... hopefully less concerning. and with a cycrane, it would lead the investigators away from him.
during his next murder, he chooses a time where there would be a witness, and commits the crime, leaving the body. word gets out, and news of the 'cycrane killer' is everywhere. yanqing masks his nervousness as worry for jing yuan, but he doesn't fully buy it.
he's not crazy, he's not insane at all. he doesn't kill for the adrenaline rush, or to clear the static in his head, or for whatever other reason.
he's just... doing the luofu a favor.
☆⋆⋅───────
RELATIONSHIPS
YANQING -> ROSEBANE
friendly. they are extremely close, but can't talk much since yanqing shouldn't bring them out during the day. they're partners in crime, bound to their secret. he finds their sentience interesting.
YANQING -> JING YUAN
tense. yanqing partly blames jing yuan for his... new hobby. he still cares and would never hurt him on purpose, but he's extremely frustrated and confused. he mainly wants an explanation but feels as if he has no right to ask for one. yanqing also has to tread lightly around jing yuan to avoid him figuring out about his murders.
YANQING -> FU XUAN
cautious. if fu xuan suspects him of anything, she could easily rat him out with the matrix of prescience. he's been keeping his distance.
JING YUAN -> YANQING
worry. jing yuan knows yanqing's upset and has been acting strangely ever since he recovered. he also knows that his retainer is hiding something, but doesn't know what.

Thinking about a hsr hockey/figuring skating au where Jing Yuan is a pro hockey player who takes in prodigy Yanqing after his parents die to “mentor him”. Featuring hockey/figuring skater power couple (and yanqing’s honorary godparents) renheng, figure skater auntie Fu Xuan, and disgusting amounts of found family
Also bonus hurt/comfort for Yanqing realizing he actually wants to pursue figure skating (Dan Heng and Fu Xuan obviously undergo the task of teaching him) but he doesn’t want to tell Jing Yuan bc he’s scared Jing Yuan only wants him on the basis of him playing hockey. Meanwhile Jing Yuan literally just wants his kid to be happy.

Section Three: Character
VII. A-xian is my didi: on jiang yanli
VIII. I still am: oh, lan wangji
IX.  Let’s be brothers again: jiang cheng, you clown
VII. A-xian is my didi: on jiang yanli
*i would like to reach out my hand by DontStopRun
summary: a short jyl pov introspection on families. marriages, and arguments within them. quite tragic due to the nature of the jiang family, but insightful and worthwhile for her perspective on the family, which we don’t see as often as wwx and jc’s. I love her
work issues: none
author issues: none
*paḫḫur by sital
summary: the third work in a yiling matriarch jyl AU. we see snapshots from jyl’s childhood, her mother’s use of a mysterious technique on her, the massacre at lotus pier, and the aftermath. the writing style was intense and compelling, and I really love how this author maintained jyl’s canon personality while making her an interesting and rich pov character and protagonist
I spent most of this fic crying very gently….the lp massacre always hits me hard, and jyl thinking about her life/what she wants but thinks she’ll never have is also quite tragic. this series apparently has a happy yanqing ending, and you can see the subtext here for it. cql canon.
work issues: none
author issues: none
The Taming of the Resplendent Fowl by natcat5
summary: another work in the series that began with Stray Dog’s Parable (linked below). jyl pov during the sunshot campaign, in all its grittiness and violence. I loved her characterization here - very true to her canon personality and disability, while allowing her depth and treating her as a person who matters.
it also explores jzx’s character and flaws. his has his own pov, which is really fun since he’s not too bright and the politics happen around him without his full comprehension. quite a funny chapter. unfinished, but that’s fine
the handling of the political situation is fresh and interesting, but it tends to repetition and pretension. there’s a few annoying lines in the beginning that kind of girlbossify myu, but overall a great work for characterization. technically either canon, but it has a novel flavor
warnings for references to wartime rape of young teenagers, and societal misogyny
work issues: none
author issues: none
cloud lotuses by vanicanela
summary: this is about jyl grappling with the loss of her home, and the friendship blossoming between her and lwj in the days immediately following the defeat of the wens. I loved the character introspection as well as the relationship development. it was so rewarding to see her treated as a full character with her own internal life and goals
more novel characterizations, which is a bit weird since this scenario didn’t even happen in the novel, but you know what? I’ll take it
work issues: none
author issues: none
VIII. I still am: oh, lan wangji
An old kettle, a tiny teacup, and a new pot. by mondengel
summary: here’s lan qiren, desperately trying to keep his premature nephew alive immediately after his birth. this fic is very sweet, provided satisfyingly medically accurate information, and integrated canon-specific rites in a realistic way. and the relationship was so tenderly portrayed…he loves his nephew 🥺
work issues: none
author issues: going to be real this author has written almost 90 fics so I just checked their most-used tags and didn’t see anything but I can’t guarantee they’re completely fine
slipping secrets, skipping stones by LaivineNinuiel
summary: this is just lxc and lwj as young kids being very sweet together 🥺 they love each other
work issues: none
author issues: none
*another way to suffer by Justread0verandover
summary: I haven’t read this fic in a while but basically - what if nmj was lwj’s gay awakening? I thought it was pretty funny. cql canon, presumably
work issues: none
author issues: none
I exist as I am, that is enough by fantasmagorie
summary: immediately after wwx accidentally pulls off lwj’s headband in the novel, lwj stalks off and lxc goes to talk to him. this makes my heart feel like it’s being squeezed so tight, but in a good way. novel canon, but the emotion in it is so raw and the characterization is so compelling that I definitely suggest it for cql fans as well
work issues: none
author issues: none
*The Pursuit of Knowledge by Katalyna_Rose
summary: post-nightless, lwj tries to find erotica that he can enjoy in an effort to connect with his own sexuality and to feel closer to wwx. at a bit of a loss, he consults nhs. what follows is a genuinely quite beautiful and touching story about gay bonding, affirmation, and self-discovery. I like the writing style quite a lot, and I find the characterizations and dialogue to be natural and realistic. the discussion of kink, bdsm, and power-bottoming, using language that’s appropriate for the setting, is really fun too. novel-verse
unfortunately the wwx that crops up at the very end is so incredibly obnoxious that I pretend the work ends before he appears. how writers convey such beauty and subtlety with lwj and then cast wwx as a chaotic, whiny gremlin who shouts every line is beyond me
work issues: none
author issues: none
in wild plums and river willows by SnowshadowAO3
summary: post-nightless city, lwj wanders and grieves and sees visions of wwx throughout the years. this is quite a raw work with a lot of pain in it, but it’s also very cathartic and there are some very lovely scenes with other characters, like mianmian. novel canon
work issues: none
author issues: wrote something tagged ‘junior ot4’
Vanilla Twilight by toastpersona
summary: modern AU trans lwj ruminates on his identity and whether to come out to his longtime friend and roommate wwx. mature, gentle, and contemplative. pre-relationship. I wish this author had continued this series :/
work issues: none
author issues: none
*on a clear day… by LilyMaxwell
summary: a  short, introspective work about lwj’s relationship with his traditional extended family and his childhood home. the tone and style are just  lovely and the juxtaposition of his current self vs. the person he was  when he was young is quite striking warning for implied, mild homophobia work issues: none author issues: wrote lwj/another character wyb played and tagged it ‘wyb/wyb’ please stop like that’s a real person
*Wanting by pringle slut
summary: postcanon, lwj realizes how much he wants to bottom and things go from there. I liked the setup and payoff of this a lot. let lwj get wrecked by his very powerful and sexy husband!!! I do think this is well-characterized and very loving and it’s nice to see lwj get taken care of for once and really enjoy it. verse rights
work issues: for a chance of pace, wwx is actually the one who gets a little possessive at one point lol. but it’s not even really creepy or anything? just relatively normal stuff I’d say
author issues: second fic in this series was fine (nb lwj!) but the last fic is tagged ‘consensual dubious consent’ which???
Looks Like Home by ChaoticAndrogynous
summary: years into being married, a drunk lwj confides that he still has some self-image problems about his back and wwx wants to help. not a smut fic, if you can believe it. I really loved the lwj in this, at turns demanding and affectionate. the romance was very sweet and the style was entrancing. either canon
work issues: none
author issues: cnc
untitled by brokke_inactive
summary: a character exploration work for lwj, from an autistic author. first half is lqr and lxc pov, who both love lwj a great deal but sometimes are frustrated or confused by his behavior. back half is lwj pov, snapshots from his adult life. I love an autistic lwj reading and this one is really well characterized I think. cql canon
check notes - lwj experiences sensory overload, and his family is well-meaning but ignorant
work issues: none
author issues: none
IX. Let’s be brothers again: jiang cheng, you clown
*water’s sweet but blood is thicker by fensandmarshes
summary: the shortest and highest quality reconciliation fic I’ve ever read - efficient and impactful. postcanon, a (drunk) wwx must confront his relationship with jc when jl and lsz call each other cousins. the writing in this is just excellent
wwx and jc are impressively characterized, but jl and lsz are also written so well, in a way that actually got me to care about lsz. their generation breaking the cycles of violence is efficiently and effectively explored compared to fics that treat them as plot devices for shipping or getting wx together. funny, sweet, and very emotional - it made me cry. cql verse
work issues: none
author issues: none
*all your sums and your pieces by sundiscus
summary: a nice little modern AU work where long-estranged jc and wwx come to an awkward reconciliation point over wwx adopting a-yuan. endorses the ‘jc is good with kids’ agenda, which I’m inexplicably fond of. also lwj is a museum curator in this, which I like a lot even if it’s just a throwaway line
work issues: none
author issues: has written fuck or die
the things you have to say by rkivees
summary: a short work on wwx and jc talking a little postcanon. this reconciliation is one of the few that doesn’t coddle jc or reward him for acting like an aggressive and immature dickhead, so I really liked their dynamic. wwx pushes back against jc’s treatment, points out how contradictory and irrational his demands are, and lays down boundaries, and their relationships improves because of it. wwx also has a very emotional aside thinking about and apologizing to his younger self that just ruins me. it’s a little hard to parse because of the style, but I really loved the characterizations
work issues: none
author issues: none
Stray Dog’s Parable by natcat5
summary: here’s jc immediately after the gc transfer growing himself a tiny, loyal disciple army in the worst possible conditions. raw, unglamorous, and intense, just as it would be in real life. this jc is responsible and a much better leader than I think of him in canon, so he’s quite compelling to read. the atmosphere and tone are incredibly rendered. firmly novel verse in later works (not in a bad way, just very dark), but for this one, it could be either canon
I read two of the next fics in this series, but I think this one was the best. the later works edge towards pretentiousness and repetitiveness, but this first one is tight and cleanly written.
work issues: none, and nothing in the next two works either. I haven’t read the last one but nothing jumped out when I was scanning the tags
author issues: none
*Like the Goddamn Hotel California by KiaraSayre
summary: a modern AU BM fix-it fic from jc’s pov about a curse that causes him to experience moments from songs on a playlist wwx had made in their childhood. goofy enough to veer into comedy, but it has some very nice family moments too, and I do love this jc (he is suffering) there are of course disclaimers: this jc is far more sensible and communicative than canon jc, and the idea of wwx listening to taylor swift pisses me off, but it’s a good time and a lot of fun anyway. and hey, happy ending
work issues: none
author issues: wrote something tagged ‘mildly dubious consent’ immediately followed by ‘enthusiastic consent’ so idk what’s going on there. something with…consensual mind-control? man idk
Cultivation Unsolved: The Unclean Realm Special by wearealltalesintheend
summary: a very funny modern cultivation au where jc is driving wwx and the juniors across the country (?) on a roadtrip, and they have to stay overnight at a very creepy hotel
apparently this was based on buzzfeed, but never having seen that I can only say this was a fun read that I could follow perfectly well
side note I don’t think the author cares about lwj at all because lxc was discussed more often he was even in relation to wwx, which is odd imo but quite funny
work issues: none
author issues: none

Related to HSR leaks but what do u think about Lingshuang becoming playable?
Are you talking about the leaked character named Lingsha? I personally think that's just a coincidence that their names sound similar and I doubt that it's actually an AU version of her. All of the Hi3 Xianzhou characters taken from Shattered Swords so far (Luocha, Suyi, Sushang, Yanqing) have kept their original names, sans the surnames, so I can't think of any reason they'd change her name specifically. However, Su Mei is the one character who might have a different name- since Mei is not her birth name, and Su is her mother's surname, not her father's. It's unknown why she changed her name in Hi3 since she fully knows her birth name, but my personal speculation is that it's due to a (poor?) reputation regarding her family (specifically her father.) My personal speculation is that Yunli is Su Mei, as she's the only SSOSS character with an unknown birth name aside from Suyi (who is still named Suyi!)
As for Lingshuang being playable, personally while I love her, I know that HSR fans have the reading comprehension of a rock and they could not handle her raging autism without wildly mischaracterizing her. I would be happy for more Lingshuang content but also driven insane by other people knowing she exists and doing her dirty. I am the self proclaimed CEO of Lingshuang and she is my obscure wife. I already go crazy every time someone who didn't read SSOSS says Su Mei is Yanqing's mistress or that he had a loving relationship with Zhaoyu. So yes I would love to see her in HSR but I would lose my mind!!

my latest fic idea, wherein jiang cheng leaves the jiang sect to become a rogue cultivator
ok so canon-compliant au where jc has enough of jfm’s shit, cuts his hair, and leaves the jiang sect 
i am currently in class and very tired but this is something i saw on twitter and it has not left my mind since so lemme break it down:
some time after the indoctrination at qishan but before the attack on lotus pier
y'all know that scene where jfm tells jc that he doesn't understand what the yunmengjiang motto means 
yeah that got my blood boiling because i am a #1 jc stan and fuck you jfm 
so maybe instead of taking it, jc just. snaps. goes off on jfm for being a shite dad for making him feel like he was never worthy, never enough, never good enough to be acknowledged by his father etc etc. and he just. walks out
cue silence. madam yu is especially surprised and tries to call him back but he ignores her point blank
he goes to his room, packs his things, leaves his bell on the bedside table
now as yall may know, back in the day cutting your hair was a no-no because of parents and stuff and how its a link to your parents etc etc
jc stands in front of the mirror, takes his hair down, unsheathes sandu, and just when wwx and jyl walk into the room, intent on comforting him, he cuts the hair at shoulder length
cue silence pt. 2
he hugs his sister, says sorry, tells wwx to not be an idiot and take care of jyl, and walks out
cue crying
he is no longer Jiang Cheng, heir of YunmengJiang Sect. he is just another face, another cultivator
madam yu, is, understandably distraught and angry and tries to convince him to stay on his way out
he apologizes, brushes her off, and with one last glare towards his father, he walks out of Lotus Pier. 
he travels for a few days before hearing that lotus pier has been attacked by the Wens
(jfm and jyl stay in lotus pier in this instead of leaving and yzy
of course, he rushes back home to see the place in flames, disciples dead and his family missing
Jfm is dead. Yzy, jyl, and wwx are missing
Jc is torn between the need to murder wc and wzl and find his family
He decides to find his family
Wwx has been caught and un-golden-cored and is now missing 
Yzy is not in the best shape
she gives him zidian 
jc uses his connections with lxc and nhs to get lwj over here immediately because ‘i have to find my brother and you're basically a bottom magnet’
Meanwhile yzy and jyl, with the help of the lan and nie sect, take back lotus pier
Yzy dies, big sad
Jyl is made the clan leader of yunmengjiang

Nmj and lxc grieve their murder twink together because thats romance baby
jzx becomes the sect leader, makes mianmian head disciple and everyone’s happy
Jyl asks jc to come back to the jiang sect and be head disciple or an advisor, but he doesn’t take it
he’s welcome to cloud recesses because lqr is a bitch and would’ve liked jc over wwx and also because jc loves a-yuan and wants to see his brother often fuck you lwj
and jc is wandering the world, hunting demons, teaching his daughter about cultivation (demonic and otherwise because in this why would he hate it) and he occasionally goes home to yunmeng to see his sister and his nephew and jyl dotes on a-qing and at the end of the day he has no responsibilities and nothing to fear, and even though his father called him a coward and told him he wouldn't survive a minute alone, he knew that he had proved him wrong and attempted the impossible, and succeeded.

Headcanon: Dan Feng vs Dan Heng's interactions with Yanqing
I just finished the new Xianzhou story quest and while i don't feel inclined to change my previous headcanons, I made a breakthrough realization on the difference between Dan Feng's and Dan Heng's parenting of Yanqing
(contemplating writing a current Jingrenheng fic)
This is all internal dialogue that is based on when they met Yanqing. Dan Feng (Yanqing's Happy Family AU) met Yanqing when he was a week old. Dan Heng met him when he was 14.
First Impressions
Dan Feng: He is the most precious thing in the world and I will grant him whatever he wants. If this child desires the Luofu, I will grant him the Luofu. Please stay by my side for as long as you can so I can protect you.
Dan Heng: *His actual meeting with Yanqing after the Stellaron Crisis* This is the most hyper-active person I have ever met. Even March does not have as much energy as this kid does. Is Jing Yuan feeding him sugar everyday?
Impression after some time
Dan Feng: He is my joy and pride. He has so much energy that I can barely keep up. Am I a good parent? Is he as healthy as can be?
Dan Heng: This child has no sense of danger and I live in constant fear he will one day get himself killed.
*Sees Yanqing jump from the roofs of moving starskiffs to catch a criminal*
OH MY AEONS! DON'T DO THAT!
Dan Heng is a step away from a heart attack. He's in love with Jing Yuan and he can't exactly get with Jing Yuan if he doesn't get along with his kid, but he needs Yanqing to develop a sense of self-preservation if Dan Heng expects to live to the wedding day.
Please see free to message or comments with responses or suggestions :)

Has any women tried to seduce Jing Yuan or even Yinxing?
Yanqing properly got so many bad vibes from them that he doesn’t want them near his dads.
Jing Yuan? Yes.
We are talking about the most powerful man aboard the Luofu. There will always be women after him, whether it is for their own purposes or on behalf of those who hired them. They aren’t very successful since this man loves his husbands and is also all about respecting people’s space and boundaries. He’s very charismatic so it’s easy for him to get around all of it.
Yanqing does not like them. He knows they are there for a purpose and as a Cloud Knight, he must figure out what their objective is. Though he is still a young kid so his understanding of romance, seduction, and the overall game of it is not very developed. At some point, he just leaves his dad to handle it.
Yingxing? Not usually.
Yingxing does not possess the same charisma that Jing Yuan does. Instead he is very open with his distaste and sarcasm, which pushes people away from him. So when a woman does come to try and seduce him, he is so weirded out that his brain sort of shuts down. Instead of providing teasing comebacks in the way Jing Yuan does, he gives full-on, straightforward answers that somehow turn the atmosphere incredibly awkward.
For Yanqing, it actually hurts to watch. He knows his dad is sometimes awkward but the situation brings about such a level of second-hand embarrassment that instead of being worries, he has to excuse himself. He knows that lady won’t succeed because who can honestly succeed in that situation.
Thank you so much for sending me the ask!!!
Sorry to took so long to respond!!!🥰

Yanqing's Happy Family AU: Dan Feng's Parenting
I did say I would post headcanons on here in relations to my Yanqing's Happy Family AU so I am posting them now instead of writing because I hit a writer's block on all my work-in-progress. I also have not started on the 1.3 update and these works might reflect that since they were written a day before it was out.
Please enjoy my headcanons on Dan Feng parenting Yanqing and feel free to send me asks or message me. I would love to talk about HSR and/or this AU with you.
Out of the three, Dan Feng has the most anxiety when it comes to parenting Yanqing. He grew up in an environment that was incredibly demanding and was raised with extremely high expectations. He never had anyone to consider an equal until his met his husbands and, even then, he still had to maintain a stoic and unfeeling facade when they were in public. The lack of proper, healthy social interactions and the inability to express himself freely manifested in intense anxiety when he adopted Yanqing. It also did not help that Yanqing did not bond with Dan Feng as easily as he did with Yingxing and Jing Yuan. He did not know how to raise a child and the side of him that was a perfectionist reared its head, leading him to constantly fret whether or not he is raising Yanqing well. 
He is the only one Yanqing will got to for help on his homework, especially math. Jing Yuan’s strong suit was never math (he gives me English and History vibes) and while Yingxing is very good at math, he is a very intense tutor and made Yanqing cry once. Dan Feng is the only one who can teach Yanqing math competently and not yell at him.
To outsiders, the High Elder of the Vidyadhara was an unfeeling man who expressed little to no emotions. Even in the presence of his husbands, the most one will see from him was a faint smile and a gaze held longer than it should. In fact, when he was married, it was a hotly discussed topic as to whether or not he loved his husbands due to how restrained he was in public. The only outlier is Yanqing, who Dan Feng dotes on constantly. Bright smiles, hugs, kisses on the forehead- Dan Feng magically transforms from an emotionless leader to an adoring father.
Dan Feng has accidentally smacked Yanqing with his tail once when his son was almost 2 and still feels bad about it a decade later. Yanqing was learning to walk at the time and attempted to walk over to his fathers. However, Dan Feng was too engrossed in a conversation with Jing Yuan and did not noticed. He ended up turning around quickly and unknowingly smacked Yanqing in the stomach with his tail, causing him to fall. The incident left Yanqing with a bruise and a bump on the back of his head. The wounds were superficial and he was fine, but Dan Feng was absolutely distraught. Some witnesses said he cried almost as much as his son did when he saw what he had done. For a couple weeks, he refused to have his tail out and bought countless toys and treats as atonement. Even though his son is 14 now, mentioning that story would only lead to the High Elder of the Luofu Vidayadhara to become very upset.
Feel free to let me know if you want any of these written out as a fic :)

Yanqing’s Happy Family AU: Reacting to parenting advice
If you pick your baby up too much you’ll spoil them
Jing Yuan: This is cruel and I’m not doing it. How can I not pick up Yanqing, especially if he asks?
Dan Feng: No. Absolutely not. I will always pick Yanqing up when he wants me to. I don’t care if I spoil him. He deserves to be spoiled.
Baiheng: That’s essentially neglect! Yanqing deserves to be cuddled and held! In fact, I’m going to find him now!
Yingxing: I can understand the reasoning but I think babies are a bit too little to learn how to be spoiled. Babies can’t exactly do anything on their own so it makes sense for us to spoil them.
Jingliu: You’re right. It’s important to not spoil children from an early age. *does not actually practice this when it comes to Yanqing. She’s just as guilty of spoiling Yanqing as the rest of them.*

So I just want to say I love your work so far but also random request, Yanqing’s first word. I can just imagine the bets going on for his first word and when he says it no one knows who he’s talking about like AUJSBUENJSNUBD
Aww! Thank you!
I love this request. I actually have a Psych degree so I read a bit on the science behind first words to prepare an answer for this ask.
Barring sounds babies make naturally (mama, dada, baba), Yanqing's first word is Cat.
For a group of well-educated and fairly competitive men, they could not settle for words that were "close enough". Babies made noise that sounded close enough to "mama" and parents took it as their baby recognizing their mom even if the baby said it to a potted plant.
Yanqing babbled but babbling did not denote "words" according to Yingxing. "Any baby can babble. I want a clear word." Jing Yuan did note that the request was "a bit excessive. Don't you think those standards are too high for such a baby?"
"Nonsense, Yanqing will obviously say Baba and know that it is me. I want a victory no one can dispute." Yingxing had bet his most recent creation.
Dan Feng was quite offended at the idea his son would say "Baba over Ba". Citing that it was an illogical thing to bet on before promising a rare set of Vidyadhara armor to the winner.
Jing Yuan had actually betted on "Mimi". "A-die is such a hard thing for babies to say on their first try. Mimi is much easier and Yanqing adores her very much." The item on the line was a rare manuscript from his family's archives.
JIngliu found the whole thing ridiculous but placed her support behind Dan Feng. "If a baby can say 'Baba', it is obvious it would be able to say Ba first." She put a fine bottle of wine that was made and bottled before the rise of Lan.
Baiheng, of course, threw her hat behind Yingxing. Besides being very close to each other, she cited "Yanqing like saying Baba a lot, even if he says it to the soda and the tree. He's bound to recognize that it means Yingxing one day." She had placed a prized starskiff on the line, a vintage, racing starskiff she had repaired.
In the hope of encouraging his first word, they had put in a lot of effort to read aloud to Yanqing. During one of these story times, there was a fluffy, white cat on the cover of the novel. "This is a cat, Yanqing. They're quite cute and are all over the Luofu." Jing Yuan said as he pointed at the animal.
A month after the wager was made, Yanqing shouted his first word in the middle of a family dinner. The family was gathered around the table and Yanqing was seated in his high chair munching on yogurt bites. Mimi moved to poke Yanqing's nose with her cold nose, causing him to pull his feet back and laugh.
"CAT!" Yanqing shouted out, reaching his hand out to pet Mimi's mane. The word was met with a shocked silence before the dinner table descended into chaos.
"What did you say Yanqing?" Jing Yuan picked his son out of the high chair. "Cat! Cat!" Yanqing kept reaching for Mimi, who had started eating the yogurt bites Yanqing left on the table.
Dan Feng's face was a mixture of ecstatic joy and slight disappointment. Yingxing was still frozen in shock before bursting into laughter when Yanqing pointed at Baiheng's ear and shouted "Cat!" Jingliu found the whole thing incredibly amusing and had the bottle of wine opened in celebration of Yanqing's first word.
This development led Yanqing to start calling anything fluffy, white, and/or pointed-eared "CAT!"
Jing Yuan? Cat.
Tingyun's little foxes? Cat.
Yukong, Tinyun, and Qingni? Cat.
Many, many things in Yanqing's little world were called "Cat" which may have been for the best considering what items were on the line.

I know it's called Yanqing's Happy Family AU but I can only imagine all that crumbling down if the Abundance Yanqing Theory ends up being true. Poor boy going to feel that all his family love for him was all for nothing.
Trigger Warning: MENTION OF SUICIDE
Yanqing would be crushed!!!
He would definitely feel that he's ruined his family. They take him in and love him and in return, he is revealed to be a descendent of the Xianzhou's greatest enemy. I think if such a thing did happen in the AU, Yanqing would run away. He would either run away from the Alliance to live elsewhere like the Astral Express or the option is that he takes matters into his own hands and kills himself. To him, he is doing as a Cloud Knight. A Cloud Knight's job is to destroy all enemies of the Alliance and in his sense of duty, he would take himself out.
If news of this got out, it would destroy his family's reputation and would be a stain on their careers. He would see his existence as a horrible mistake and out of love and filial duty, seek to both hide the truth from everyone and ensure that it can't be used as blackmail against his family.
However, the Alliance's real worry is not Yanqing but the HCQ. There is no way they will allow the Alliance or the Ten Lords Commission to take Yanqing away nor would they allow Yanqing to kill himself. He is their precious child regardless of his origins and they love him dearly.
I think if that happens, the HCQ will take Yanqing and run away. I can totally see them joining the Express and traveling the world. They are free from the roles and expectations of the Xianzhou and are able to travel and explore the world freely with Yanqing by their side.
If we are talking about Yanqing and his family staying in the Xianxhou, I would write the solution as Lan interfering and putting a stop to Yanqing's execution. Even if Yanqing was made of the Abundance, he still follows the Path of the Hunt which is the Xianzhou Allaince's path. In Dan Heng's lore, Lan blessed Dan Heng's Path of the Hunt so I can see Lan interfering to help Yanqing.
This was a really interesting ask and I had a lot of fun answering it. Please feel free to send me more or message me.

hiii, it's me again, thanks for spoiling us with your HC & AU as always 💖 💗
Anyway, I was curious, do you have any HC of what if Happy Family!AU meets with semi-cannon verse of RenJingHeng (that's still trying to bond with Yanqing despite their ✨Issues✨)?
I imagine it would be double the chaos since now they have TWO reckless, self-sacrificial, and insecure teen to watch over. That, and I want the HCQ to react to a what-if versions of themselves lolz. This could either go very well, or they just straight up start criticizing e/o method of parenting, and I can't make up my mind of which is better.
Hello!!! You're welcome, I enjoy writing these headcanons. 🥰
I do have HCs for this!!! I constantly compare the semi-cannon with the AU so I can differentiate their personalities and parenting styles.
I'll group them by character to make it easier.
Dan Feng- Dan Heng
They do not get along and Dan Feng started it. Dan Feng is very protective and doting to Yanqing.
He worries for Yanqing's wellbeing constantly and in his eyes, Dan Heng is neglectful and both Yanqing's should come home with him. Dan Heng's aloofness and his difficulties in connecting make Yanqing feel unsure of where he fits in RenJingHeng's new relationship.
To Dan Heng, Dan Feng's displays of affection contrast with his responsibility to the Vidyadhara, which leads Yanqing to make himself small so he doesn't stress out his father.
"How can you be okay with him going off like that? Getting possessed, sneaking off? He's practically skin and bones! Not to mention, you almost killed him. What kind of father are you?"
"You're one to talk to. Your son is so worried about disappointing you that he puts himself in harm's way constantly to prove himself!"
"Your's does the same!"
This ends with both of them crying and being very upset. Dan Feng has always struggled with emotions and can only communicate through words and acts of affection. Dan Heng is unsure how to communicate and care for Yanqing since he was never allowed to be a child and has no idea how to fit himself into the family dynamics.
Yingxing- Ren
They also do not get along and Ren is responsible for it.
Yingxing is very affectionate to Yanqing despite his strictness. Ren is not affectionate at all and approaches the relationship with a bit of teasing but also a constant state of "you are a child but are nothing like Silver Wolf, so I don't know how to communicate with you."
Yingxing sort of pities Ren since he sees Ren's marastruck fate as what could have happened to him if the Blessings of the Arbor went awry.
But this does not stop either of them from disliking each other. Unlike Dan Heng and Dan Feng, they do not engage with each other at all and instead actively ignore each other.
To Yingxing, Ren is confused and doesn't know how to interact with other people. However, his confusion creates more confusion for Yanqing, who believes that he is being pushed out of the family because of Canon! Jing Yuan is spending more time to incorporate Ren into his life.
To Ren though, Yingxing is a hypocrite. While Ren doesn't know how to interact with Yanqing, Yingxing is the same with his child. He doesn't understand why his child is sacrificial and reckless as if they weren't the traits he saw valued by his parents- their sacrificial and reckless actions in service to the Luofu.
AU! Jing Yuan - Canon! Jing Yuan
They get along pretty well since they are both very mellow people and their nature allows them to understand the other. Their time is spent comparing their respective sons. Hobbies? Favorite foods? Even habits as babies?
Some are similar like sword collecting but others are very different like AU! Yanqing prefers Vidyadhara seafood cuisine and spicy food over Canon! Yanqing prefers savory food from the Luofu and sweet treats like pudding and boba.
They also talk about their worries for their son. About how AU! Yanqing keeps throwing himself in danger to save his comrades even though his death would break his family's heart or how Canon! Yanqing keeps searching for stronger and stronger opponents in a relentless need to improve.
Jingliu
They don't talk at all. I don't see either of them seeing any merit in talking with each other. Instead, they communicate with their blades. To them, crossing blades with an opponent tells them what they need to know. The fight takes 30 minutes and by the end of it, both parties take their leave and stay silent for the rest of the day. If you asked the others, they could not tell you a single thing said during the fight. However, to the sword masters, they knew all they needed to know.
Baiheng
Well, she sort of dead in the canon so there isn't anything she can react to. She is, however, very sad that she passed and left Jing Yuan alone. even if her death was for a good cause.
AU! Yanqing- Canon! Yanqing
They talk about swords. That is honestly it. Their parents are fighting each other so they thought it would be best to avoid additional confrontation. They have also repressed a lot of their childhood insecurities so both of them are not exactly aware of the fact their behaviors are not the healthiest.
AU! Yanqing throws himself in the line of fire because he's seen his parents do it. He wants to protect the Luofu because his fathers spent so much time governing it and ensuring its peace and prosperity. But also, deep down, he wants to show that he is worthy of being their son.
Canon! Yanqing masters the sword not for glory, but to ease the general's burden. They do not call each other father and son even though both parties see each other that way. However, since things are never said, Yanqing believes Jing Yuan sees him as merely an apprentice rather than family. So now that Jing Yuan is bringing Dan Heng and Ren into his life, Yanqing is waiting for when he'll be served the eviction notice.
This was a really fun ask and I hope you enjoyed it!!! Please feel free to send more!

Hii I like reading ur works which is really full of fluff🙆💜
Just curious on a scenario where yanqing get lost? Not sure if that would ever happen 🤣
HELLO!!! I am so glad you enjoy my work. I hope to publish more soon!
Yanqing is a runner. If you are not holding onto him, he will book it. It got so bad that they tried to put a leash on him. However, like an angry cat, he would flop on the floor and refuse to move until the leash was off. They then put a bell on his ankle so when he runs off, they can hear him.
Yanqing's attention was caught by the fluffy orange cat loitering around the dumpling stand. Without a moment's hesitation, Yanqing was off. His hand slipped through Dan Feng's grasp as he headed through the crowd and after the kitten. He dodged carts, customers, and even other Cloud Knights as he chased the cat into the alleyway. His Ba's calls were all but forgotten. The feline had jumped over the boxes, a grilled piece of fish in its mouth as it ran to the end of the alley.
When Yanqing reached the end, he found the orange cat surrounded by kittens. A couple were orange but others had splotches of gray and brown on them. The large orange cat, likely the mother to these kittens, placed herself in front of her children and hissed.
The hostile noise caused the boy to back up. "Oh, it's okay! Are you hungry? I can get you a lot of fish?" Yanqing spoke softly in hopes of placating the cat.
The cat, as if understanding what he was saying, stopped her hissing. "Yeah! I'll go get you a lot of fish!"
Yanqing quickly turned around, only to realize he didn't know his way back to the market. When he ran down the alleyway and countless corners, he did not remember to get his father to follow him. Now, he didn't know his way back."
"Meow?"
Yanqing could feel the fear building up. He didn't know how to get back. There are so many turns and all the corners look the same. How was he ever going to get back to his father?
"Yanqing!" A voice called on from above. Within seconds, the High Elder of the Vidyadhara descended from the clouds and landed gently next to his son.
"Ba!" The boy tightly hugged his father, burying his face into his father's clothes.
"How many times do I have to tell you to not run off? Do you know how long I was looking for you?" Dan Feng lightly scolded.
Yanqing didn't say anything but instead just hugged his father tighter.
Dan Feng sighed and looked at the cat. "This is the third cat this month you have followed. You have Mimi at home. I swear you are as bad as Jing Yuan."
I hope you enjoy this short thing! Thank you for the ask!
