Thank you everyone for a great inaugural Songxiao September! We saw so much wonderful Songxiao work come out of this month, and we've loved seeing all of it. Thank you to all of the amazing artists and writers who have shared their skill and passion for these characters with us and for truly making this event special. And thank you to everyone who came along for the ride, getting excited about this event and the works coming from it!

While September may be over, this account will stay active over the next couple weeks. If you have projects that didn't quite get finished by the end of the month, we will share any late works that trickle in in October, and the ao3 collection will stay open for that time. We'll also spend the next couple weeks re-sharing fanworks made for this event and to report on some of the participation statistics, if numbers are your thing.

Thank you all again for an excellent Songxiao September 2025. We hope to see you again next year! 🖤🤍

@bitterfrosts in response to your tags, I'm making this a post of its own because I also think they deserve to be unconditionally happy sometimes :)

Mycelia and everything that surrounds them

It is with pleasure that I present y’all this little collaboration my dear friend @wifiwuxians and I have worked on for the fourth week of @songxiaoseptember <3

Leaving some of my thoughts about the concept under the cut.

DJ’s post on Bluesky | DJ’s Songxiao September doodles

Post-canon Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan communicate through hyphae, given that Song Lan lacks a tongue, and Xiao Xingchen has lost his eyes, as well as having his voice quite damaged from the sword cutting on his neck. That’s also a way in which they can touch while respecting Song Lan’s touch aversion, which isn’t as strong after his death and everything he went through during his time as a fierce corpse, but it’s still there.

They’re both dead, they don’t really need sustenance, but they’ve found this comfort.

Anyways, I’ll be revisiting this AU at some point later this year.

Huge thanks to my dear friend DJ for approaching me and hearing so many of the ideas I’ve had for this pairing. He’s a pretty cool guy and this is the first collab I’m a part of, without an actual assignment for an exchange or a bang. I’m so glad it was with one of the people I treasure the most. <3

winter // frost

so late for @songxiaoseptember week three because i didn't manage to finish it before i went away... but i can sneak it in at the end. thank you to this event and i wish i could have done many more things!

this has alt text. extended image description below the cut.

Song Lan's hands are seen in close up, gently holding in his lap the spirit-capture pouch which contains Xiao Xingchen's soul. Frost has gathered on his fingers and the surface of the pouch, as well as what we can see of his dark robes. The lighting is blue and cold, and the shadow of black veins can be seen through his skin.

Watercolour on paper.

somehow, the idea of a grim reaper Song Lan really speaks to me. nooo don't take me away to the other side you're so sexy haha

[aoxue]

In life, I’ll be your person; in death, I’ll be your ghost

There is a ghost at the end of the song.

"It…it looks like we had the same idea." ---

The villagers had insisted greatly that Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan accept their money. The villagers believed that they had done them a great service by exorcising a vengeful spirit.

As a result, Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan found themselves with enough supplies to last for a while, along with a money pouch. They decided to split the money equally and treat themselves once they reached the next city. They had met a few weeks ago and discovered that they made a great team on night hunts, so it made sense to stick together.

After reaching the city and saying their goodbyes, they left to enjoy what the lively city had to offer. Upon returning, they were both holding a single purchase - a present for the other man.
