"Chicken, Fox and Flowers" is a oneshot fic by Anbessette. It's a ModernAUFic which centers around Nie Mingjue, Lan Xichen, and Meng Yao's relationship. All seems to be going well until Mingjue, noticing Xichen and Meng Yao seem to be more affectionate with each other than either one is with him, [[HanahakiDisease starts coughing up flowers]].

* SadisticChoice: The surgery to remove Hanahaki presents one. If someone has it, they will lose all emotional context as to ''why'' they loved a person in the first place. The other major option is to just die of the Hanahaki.
* SickeningSweethearts: Meng Yao and Xichen are a downplayed version, often making sweeping declarations of love for one another and getting physically affectionate. This is PlayedForDrama, as they're both also with Mingjue and ''aren't'' like that with him, causing his Hanahaki to take root.

Added DiffLines:
"Chicken, Fox and Flowers" is a oneshot fic by Anbessette.
!! This fanfic contains the following tropes
* AffectionateGestureToTheHead: Lan Xichen kisses Nie Mingjue twice over the course of the fic.
* AmicableExes: Lan Qiren and his girlfriend, a fact that Xichen uses to [[spoiler: disprove the idea of Lans having One True Loves]].
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Xichen and Mingjue, according to a reference Xichen makes during his declaration of love to Mingjue. It's implied in one line that they started dating either in high school or college.
* ClosetKey: From the same speech referenced above, Mingjue was this to Xichen:
--> '''Lan Xichen''': We’ve been married almost ten years. I’ve loved you since we were children. You were the reason I realised I was gay, and then the reason I realised I was polyamorous and not a terrible person.
* GrandRomanticGesture: [[spoiler: It turns out that Xichen bringing Meng Yao home after a hike was this: he found the guy Mingjue had had a crush on and brought him home so they could all be together]].
* HanahakiDisease: The central problem of the fic is that Mingjue develops this. In a twist on the usual formula (that it develops as a result of unrequited love), in this universe Hanahaki can also result from feeling unsatisfied in a relationship, and Mingjue believes now that he's less important to Xichen and Meng Yao than the two are to each other. [[spoiler: He isn't]].
* IKissYourHand: Lan Xichen kisses Meng Yao's hand at one point in thanks for Meng Yao passing him something in the kitchen. Mingjue witnesses...and subsequently starts coughing up flowers.
** [[spoiler: Xichen kisses Mingjue's hand again while declaring his love for him.]]
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: One reason Mingjue tries justifying getting the flowers surgically removed from his chest is that Meng Yao and Xichen will be happy without him, as they love one another more than him anyway. It's downplayed, as he knows they would be hurt, but he thinks they'd eventually be happier. [[spoiler: They do not see it that way.]]
* LoveAtFirstSight: Xichen and Meng Yao apparently met on a hike, locked eyes, and fell madly in love. [[spoiler: The truth is more complicated, as while Xichen ''did'' fall for Meng Yao and vice versa...but their first meeting largely centered around ''Mingjue'' and the fact that Xichen was really excited that he'd met his husband's crush]].
* OneTrueLove: A large portion of the fic centers on the idea that every Lan has one of these in a soulmate-type way. It's then deconstructed, as Mingjue believes himself ''not'' to be Xichen's one true love, and comes close to dying of Hanahaki as a result. [[spoiler: Even if he's wrong, his assumption clearly hurts both Xichen and Meng Yao]].
* {{Polyamory}}: Lan Xichen and Nie Mingjue have been together for a long time, but occasionally have threesomes or partners on the side. Then, once Meng Yao enters into the equation, they both start dating him.
