Who’s the real you?
The person who did something awful... or the one who’s horrified by the awful thing you did?
Is one part of you allowed to forgive the other? [insp]

Some FangHua drawings for @orchisailsa's fic, Gravity and Other Forces of Attraction for @mysteriouslotuscasebookweek day 5! Please go read it, it's so good 🥺
Preview of NSFW drawing under the cut ;) (full NSFW drawing can be found in the fic!)
Yes, there will be a follow-up fic inspired by this picture, which positively begs for a story explaining how they got there. Thanks to @lyselkatz for finding it in the first place.-
不好意思 -- I know I am a day late. Yesterday, I had a visitor, and the evening ended with gin-and-tonic, using a lovely prickly pear gin from the wine-growing region where I have grown up. The stuff tastes heavenly, but is not conducive to organised writing that leads to an actual plot.

Summary:
A knock on the door in the middle of the night startled Li Xiangyi awake. She drew her inner robes around herself tighter and rushed to open it. Maybe Shixiong had finally decided they didn’t have to wait until they were married until they did whatever it is that married people do together. The few kisses she’d managed to steal from him had lit a fire low inside her, and she knew from the strange pressure she’d felt that it did something to him too. He was just so stubborn, wanting to do things properly.
a very last minute ficlet for Mysterious Lotus Casebook Week, for the prompt marriage
