a scene with Bai Wuxiang from @allthedeadliedown's fanfic, We Sleep But Fail to Dream! this scene in Chapter 14 felt particularly poignant to me.

from @allthedeadliedown / GhostTour's fanfic, We Sleep But Fail To Dream. the latest chapter made me SCREAM with delight/horror
This is so incredible!! Thank you so much!!!
you gotta write for your dick not the stats
Hua Cheng squeezes Xie Lian’s chin between his thumb and forefinger. It doesn’t hurt, but there’s more force behind it than he’s ever taken with Xie Lian before. His evil aura swells and expands, choking the air from Xie Lian’s lungs. Hua Cheng is impressive indeed!
We Sleep but we Fail to Dream, chapter 3, by @allthedeadliedown
I had so much fun drawing this!! And I am still as obsessed with this fic as ever!!! Once again, if you guys haven’t read it yet, I recommend it a thousand times over!!
When I saw this, my jaw hit the floor! I cannot even tell you how it feels when the stories inside my head are brought to life in stunning art. Saenda’s magical art steals my breath, and lives in my heart.
Saenda, you majestic, talented gem of a person. From the bottom of my heart (where your art lives) thank you.

Here's a reimagining I wrote of the scene in book 4 where Xie Lian gets drunk at the graveyard. Mind the tags, please.
Summary:
Didi (弟弟): Younger brother.
Drunk for the first time in his life, Xie Lian accidentally falls in an open burial pit and finds that he’s not alone.
Canon divergence from chapter 185 of the original/unrevised serialized edition.
Fics on which themes/ships do you particularly miss in the TGCF fandom? Plots, tropes, whatever you think it's important to mention))))
Oooh this is a good question! Damn! I love anything amnesia. (obviously). I am a sucker sucker sucker for coffin fics! Ohhh, and Xie Lian going to Ghost City pre canon (like in Til Our Compass Stands).
Less popular, I love modern college roommate fics. They are good brain candy! Also, give me a Yin Yu POV! I want to see him searching for XL on behalf of his boss.
What about you???? Please share???
Okay i just wanna say HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU FALL WITHIN MY REACH? I love writing pov of xie lian in the first few chapters of where he kept calling him beautiful mortal boy, for some reason im very much obsessed with hua cheng's san lang form like even in Kianspo's 'the wind is gentler than my lips' which i love that you took inspo from (im gonna mental breakdown so hard again) and also vampirefaun's thousand gold come and go stew (also made me so sad) I think i just like when hua cheng is some humble mischievous village boy XD. XL kept describing how pretty he was and it gave me gender envy ngl. Another part that i loved was how xie lian was sooo convinced that hua cheng hated him? like omg fuck JUN WU so much for that and also the non con kissing? EWWWW. I loved modern day ghost city too! Also hualian randomly doing it in the heavenly capital was so random LMAOOO.
Ahhhh Epherema! Thank you! Thank you so much! I just saw this, and I want to weep! Your words have dazzled my heart!
I know that you don't have boops turned on...but this is me giving you a very nice, friendly boop anyway. Happy Halloween! <3
My friend Sea Cucumber! I don't know what a boop is, but I shall receive your boop! Happy HALLOWEEN IS OVER IT IS ALMOST CHRISTMAS! It is literally snowing here right now.
Omg hello I just wanted to say that I LOVE LOVE LOVE your fanfic works SOOOOO MUCH 😭 They've been getting me through this past week and I can't get enough!!! Thank you so much for blessing us with your writing 🫶🏼
Thank you so much for your kind words and support! I am very grateful for you! I hope your weeks are going okay!!
I'm going to come back when I read the rest of the chapter BUT WHAT DO YOU MEAN XIE LIAN IS OUTSIDE THE GAMBLERS DEN RN????
I'm shaking in my boots 😭😭. With his bad luck, I have a feeling it's not going to end well for Xie Lian 😭
Please forgive this ridiculous one! I am still figuring out the INTERNET. I suppose you've probably read past here by now! ha ha Thank you so much for reaaaaaadiiiing!
It took over ten days for Xie Lian and Hua Cheng to walk from the inn where they met with the emperor to the entrance of Mount Tonglu. What happened during that journey? And most importantly, what would've happened if things had gone differently during that journey?
Expect folk stories told by Hua Cheng worshippers, Xie Lian figuring out stuff he could've realised one hundred chapters ago, and a Ghost King simultaneously hating on his child-like appearance and getting the best out of it.
Canon divergence from chapter 143. Contains many spoilers from the book!
Read on Ao3.
This is story has my heart forever.
i love your fics!!! i want to read your latest work so bad but know i won't be able to handle it until the comfort aspect comes into play, so im just sitting on my hands and rereading moon flowers + the others until then 😭 thank you so much for sharing these stories
Ah, I am sorry it has taken me so long to reply! I am just seeing this now! I promise promise promise this one will have so much comfort it in for when you do read! Thank you for encouraging this author! I am so grateful! Thank you thank you!
Hi! i'm absolutely fascinated by all your TGCF fics, but the last one especially (i needed it all the time in the fandom hahaha)
please tell me, do you feel more comfortable posting new chapters at random times or do you stick to some sort of schedule? no pressure! both are fine! i just want to know if it makes sense to specifically check ao3 every Wednesday 💝
Hello friend! I am sorry it has taken me so long to reply. Thank you so much for your kindness! I am giddy as I read your words! I seem to be on a bit of a posting schedule for late Tuesday night (MST) but Wednesday morning for most everyone else. I will post the odd extra chapter when my brain falls into chaos. Thank you again! You are a star!
oh my days girl I just found your fic through saenda's beautiful art piece and have been buzzing about it all day like god I wish Tuesday could come sooner. next update will be such a treat after school I CANT WAITTT you write SO good
You have dazzled my heart with this lovely comment! Thank you so much for the support and encouragement! I hope you know how much it means!
I am humbly heckling you Chapter Eight.
How am I only just seeing this? This is the most beautiful offering of heckles I have ever received. I low key want to make this my profile picture! ha ha ha. Thank you, angel sea cucumber!
I haven't done art in a long friggin' time but I started sketching out a scene from We Sleep But Fail To Dream because it broke my heart and was such a vivid image in my brain, and first of all, how dare you--
Oh my word, oh my word! But I'd do anything to see this? May I? Also...I am very sorry! I hope you will forgive this author!
“And at the end of the silky black strands, glossy and smooth, is the coral bead. Xie Lian reaches for it, rolling it between his thumb and forefinger. A thrill shivers through him to know he has the matching bead tied up in his own hair, out of sight.
He chances a peek at Hua Cheng’s face. The Ghost King is watching him with an unreadable expression. His emotions are carefully cloaked in derision. Ah, but there’s that flicker in his eye—a sort of wonder. It’s familiar, and Xie Lian’s heart throbs with hope.”
We Sleep, but we Fail to Dream, by @allthedeadliedown
GUYS, GUYS THIS FIC IS AMAZING, I SWEAR 😭😭😭😭😭 GOSH, I’M ALWAYS SO IN AWE BY WHAT HAPPENS, I’M CRYING!!!
Do yourself a huge favour and go read it if you haven’t already!
I am screaming into the abyss! I CANNOT AHHHHHHHHH!!! Behold! Saenda’s glorious art!!! You, dear friend, are brilliant and I love you.
