Fluffy WangXian Oneshots

A Ballad For My Beloved

Dark and gloomy is the cave
The wait for rescue is long.
I am quite alone here, save a boy's flute playing a song!

Trials and tribulations aplenty
A thousand things gone wrong. Trapped far underground with twenty
Bows and arrows, strings tied long.

Face to face with adversity
Xuwanwu's a mythical monster! Unearthing the creature's a necessity
Wen Chao is but a gangster!

Wei Ying

Chirpy, cheerful, gay and loud Always restless, never proud Brilliant mind, whirlwind pace Bringing chaos, of shame, no trace.

Beautiful eyes, silver that sparkles
Angelic smile, my heart hurtles He is always around, pesters me When he's not, need festers in me

Compulsive rule breaker, always tardy
Punished everyday, for his company I'm greedy
Reading, writing, imposition is done
Even then he will have his fun

I have tried to avoid him, forget him, escape him
Being rude and icy, riled him, provoked him
He never gets angry, only sometimes sad
When that happens,
'tis I who feel bad

A thorn in my side
What have I done to deserve him
'My dear friend' he cried Whenever I espied him

Talking twenty to the dozen Followed by Nie and Jin Xiyuan
We're at the underground pool Monster not found,
Wen lost his cool
The wildly jealous Wang Lingjiao
Antagonized by pretty Mianmian
Ordered that she be used as bait Strung up bleeding, horrible fate!

Attacking Mianmian, the Wen brand sizzled
All around arrows whistled
The boy pushed her aside
On his pristine chest the fiery metal fizzled

His chest singed, my eyes smoked!
His pain muted, my voice choked!
His breath gasped, my lungs stuttered!
His burn deepened, my heart siezed!

Why does his pain affect me? That he ignores his suffering
His smile never faltering
His courage does impress me!

He cornered vile Wen Chao Whose minions escaped the cave
The islet they stood upon
came alive, the danger is grave!

The Tortoise of Slaughter stands unveiled
The Wens all flee, their plans derailed
Climbing up the cavern, ropes are cut
For the young scions, escape routes are shut.

A maple leaf floats past me
I don't remember such a tree?! Whence came this leaf underground
There's another way out! It can be found!

Jiang Cheng dived in cleanly Found the exit from the cave
One by one the youngsters leave Except for Wei Ying and me.

Like a dappled moon besieged by rain
An arrow hit Wei Ying, he winced in pain
Enticed by blood, Xuwanwu attacks him
I pushed him aside, heeding my heart's whim

Save him! clamours my heart,
I did, assures my brain
I pay no heed to my bitten leg
I focus instead on His pain!

The underwater passage blocked The tortoise shell is impenetrable Trapped underground, our gazes locked
He cannot look away, I am damned if I will!

Strange is the pull, soft his gaze My heartbeat thunders, beautiful his face
His side bleeds out, not his grace Expression of pain, not a trace!

He treats my wounded leg Packing it with herbs
Bracing it with arrows
The bleeding soon curbs

Three days and three nights have passed
No hope of rescue from outside Kill the tortoise, an idea he tossed
Let's attack it from the inside

My heart is loth to see him go
I long to keep his attention
His plan is sound, just might work
Once outside, I fear losing this connection!

Inside the tortoise shell
my Wei Ying
Found corpses and a strange sword
Strong resentful energy fit for slaying
While I assassinate with my Lan chord

Attacking in tandem
We slew the Beast
Thrashing at random it destroyed the passage to the East

We're safe now,
but trapped in the cave
Our energy is sapped,
His wound now I lave

The smile has dimmed
The breath has faltered
My eyes red rimmed
My heart is shattered

Ignoring his own wounds
With herbs he cured me
Feverish his brow yet
with words, he lured me

"Lan Zhan, Lan Zhan
Sing me a song!
Don't you dare give up,
rescue will come before long!"

His hope, his spirit
His zest lay diminishing
His head on my lap
My heart lay languishing

Passing him spiritual energy
I gave him everything I could
This boy who lay now silent Mattered more than he should!

"Lan Zhan, sing me a song"
Cried Wei Ying in pain
"I will, you stay strong!
I will sing till you wake again"

From Lan Zhan's Quill:

The first time I saw him
At Cloud Recesses gate
My whole being froze
It must have been fate

Piercing gaze, so full of life
My heart butter, his smile a hot knife
His warmth tangible, his energy high
The ice inside me melted, Whenever he was nigh

I had locked up my heart
Thrown away the key
The tumult of emotions
Kept far away from me

No one could near me
Most others did fear me
Only this boy didn't! Dear me!
He was determined to like me

I didn't like him, believe me
I couldn't escape him, someone relieve me
In quiet chaos, my feelings deceive me
The herbs, his love, that he used to greave me

Blinded by rules, what a fool I have been
I saw his antics, his feelings unsaid
I saw his mischief, his pain unfelt I heard his laughter, his tears unseen
Lying pale on my lap, fever unbroken
My love battles for his life, his heart unspoken

Calling to my spirit,
Sing for me he said
This song is for him
My heart, my Beloved

Fate has been cruel
Snatched one love from me
This time I won't let go
Let the heavens come try me

No matter how long
No matter how hard
I will bring you back to me Breaching every guard

No one for me but You
My soul has been telling me
A hundred lives come anew
I won't be parted from thee

I will sing for you, My Love
I sing this, our song
I'll sing till my voice is gone
Till this dark night turns to dawn

Listen, Wei Wuxian,
Listen to WangXian
Listen my Love
I'm singing our song!

Come back to me
Waking you my goal
For I am your Music
You are my Soul!

A/N

Dear readers, actually here, I am not the author, nor could I ever be this great with words, so some explanation is needed.

When WangXian Forever Book 1 hit 100K (now it's 106K - I'll admit, those numbers give me goosebumps) I really wanted to give something back to the readers. Hence this book.

My very good friend, ManuAndhale author in her own right of two amazing books:

My Muse Calls and Abide by Me

Offered to help me at a time when I had no idea what I wanted. Manu can knock my socks off with her beautiful prose, and what better way to celebrate than reading this work of art?

So please show some love, this really is an epic ballad! Maybe someone can put it to music?

Part 2 of Love Letters will hopefully be out tomorrow.
