blueberry freezer burn (and other unexpected developments)

Summary:

There's a lot to be said when you're a part of a trio of best friends, especially when two people from your trio start dating. Xiangling would know, because as much as she loves her blue boys, and as much as she tries to deny much changing after the two started dating in high school; she knows for a fact that there are boundaries.

Still, she revels in the fact she has them by her side despite it all. She knows for a fact she can trust them with anything, and they'll listen to all her dumb, drunken rants about her lack of romance - encouraging her and bringing her back down to earth. The art of cooking was much different to the art of romance and sex. And she's had to learn that the hard way.

But after a particularly stinging pseudo-breakup and a worrying new resolve, Xingqiu and Chongyun come up to her with a surprising but all to tempting proposition for her. A particularly spicy one.

And so, Xiangling, Chongyun, and Xingqiu have to confront their feelings and understand their growing dynamics as they begin to fool around with each other (a lot).

A Xiangling-centric modern Liyue Trio university AU fic.

Chapter Text

When you’re twenty-one, a little too much for most people, and dedicated to your craft, there’s little room for love in your life. Or sex, for that matter.

Ask Xiangling, who’s never really had time for all that. And you’d probably think she didn’t care for it. But really, her ache for romance and her fantasies of getting absolutely railed run deep. Deeper than anyone would know, really.

Then of course, Xingqiu and Chongyun didn’t count as anyone. How could you do that when they’d been her best friends all their lives? They knew every little secret, cared for her deeply and indulged in all her depraved ramblings - they didn’t judge her for it either!

But there’s also the issue where the pair have been dating since the last year of high school. It hasn’t made things all that much different, but Xiangling knew there were boundaries now.

So colour her surprised that after a silly incident, the pair come up to her with a proposition that’s far too hard to pass over. A particularly spicy proposition that’s certainly not going to complicate their relationships…

And her ever-present crush on them that she always denies…

And their hidden feelings for her finally beginning to surface...
