fic: wind, take away this fog

Dan Heng has been looking to the sun ever since he was released from the Shackling Prison all those years ago. No matter where he went, where he ran, what and who he saw, he'd always look back to the sun, but no sun he'd ever seen could ever match up to the eyes that looked at him with more kindness than he deserved that day he was set free- and exiled from Xianzhou Luofu. But he's no longer exiled. And he's once again face to face with the same sunlit eyes that set him free. There are centuries dividing himself and Jing Yuan, with a dead man in between. Dan Heng wants to close that gap. But doesn't know how. This is how it starts.

fic: big wave, small boat (chapter eight)

There’s a phenomenon where it rains as the sun is high in the sky, shining: in Japan, they call it a Fox’s Wedding. The happy tears of a bride on her wedding day. When Sabito died during the Final Selection, the spirits who lived on Mt. Fujikasane wept for him– and gave him a gift

.Giyuu carries the weight of his best friend (who could’ve been more, if they’d had the chance) with him everywhere in his memories. He sees shades of him everywhere, most of all in a man whose passions shine so bright Giyuu fears being burnt if he comes too close. He doesn’t expect how gentle and warm Rengoku Kyojuro’s flames are; maybe, finally, he’ll be allowed to move on.

Things are never that simple.

fic: nectar lips and ambrosia hips

for rengiyuu week 2021, day two: domestic

When the fighting is done, what is there left for a now retired Water Pillar to do? What is he to do when his post is no longer needed or required?

After the fighting is over, Giyuu tends to and cultivates a garden, the garden that has been planted with a new flower, tree, or brush by each Water Pillar that has ever been appointed to leave their mark on a world that will never remember them. He ponders on what to plant to leave his mark.

And he, blissfully, isn't alone.
