strings played against his throat, my whumpfic in which FeiHua's escape from Jiao Liqiao goes wrong, and Di Feisheng marries her to ensure the wellbeing of Li Lianhua, who becomes her concubine. Just updated uwu
My unpublished modern AU where Di Feisheng is an MMA fighter cowboy, Li Lianhua is his chiropractor, and Fang Xiaobao is the new sheriff in one of those Chinese towns they built purely for tourism. In this case, it's an Old West theme. Here's a preview.
Mo Dao Zu Shi
My Mo Dao/Percy Jackson crossover where WangXian and friends romp through Camp Half-Blood!
My Wen Xu/Wei Wuxian/Lan Wangji AU where Wei Wuxian is adopted by the Wens instead of Jiang Fengmian. I swear I subvert so many jianghu tropes, this could be its own original novel, but here we are lol.
My two-part where Jin Zixuan flees to Lotus Pier and manages to alert the Jiangs in time for the Wang Lingjiao's attack. It's mostly written from Yu Ziyuan's perspective, and it's been a delight.
More Q&A below the cut!
Which one are you finding the hardest to finish?
Definitely #1 under Mo Dao. It's a huge labor of love, but I'm thinking maybe I thought too big with the plot. It could have just been a fun teenage romp, but then it turned into a drama that handles much larger themes, and the trouble is in being able to tie up all the plotlines I suddenly have.
What does it usually look like when inspiration strikes for you?
Usually when I have two days in a row off of work, so my brain has had at least 24 hours to clear out and think about fun. I go into a pleasant fugue state, meaning I'm focused, but I can occasionally take a five-minute break to chatter about it with my frens or listen to a song. (I'm answering this post while I'm working on fic btw.)
Do you curate playlists for each fic or is your process different?
Oh nah lol. I sometimes line some chill songs or ballads up in the background or like a Buzzfeed Unsolved marathon for background noise, but sometimes it has the opposite effect where I can't focus at all. So sometimes I just write in complete silence.
Do you go balls to the wall and write as you go or are you more organized?
Balls to the waaaaaaall babeeeeeee. Aside from the ones that're born from me chattering with frens. Both my Lianhua Lou fics and #2 under MDZS are from very specific and thorough chats that I screenshotted for reference.
I tag @westiec @theleakypen @kingsandbastardz @tavina-writes @heyholmesletsgo @the-wintry-mizzenmast and whoever else wants to do this, how do I know this many people lol.
hi, i don't know how i only now discovered this, but i would like to share this fic+filk because it's just. wonderful.

G, 470, Lan Wangji
Summary: There once was a man who traveled free
And the name of the man was Lan Wangji
The winds blew all around his guan
Blow, me bully boys, blow
Soon may Hanguang-jun come
So our juniors won't be overrun
One day when the night hunt is done
We'll take our leave and go

Yes, it's exactly what it says on the tin.

Hello! Please tell me about Qin Su's slutty adventure, because she deserves it. (I also want to know about JYL and tentacles as well as the magical boyfriend journal) :D
Hello! You hit a trio of team efforts. 👀
Qin Su's Slutty Adventures is a delightfully filthy porn-logic romp @maniibear and I have written like... half-ish of wherein Qin Su, having <handwaves> discovered the truth of her parentage ahead of schedule and perhaps engaged in a little light parricide with her brothers, decides that her next goal is to strengthen inter-sect relationships. Carnally. Her brothers are happy to help meimei achieve her dreams. 😌 It's basically "you've heard of slut shaming but what about slut praising huh?": the fic.
[INCEST WARNING]
A puff of laughter greets her lips, and then slender, callused fingers slide along her jaw and into her hair. The hand is too small to be Jin Zixuan’s, and the calluses are wrong to be Jin Guangyao’s. She shivers in excitement at the realization that for the first time, they’ve brought her someone new. Their lips are soft, teasing against her own, and she's dizzy just from the kiss, so turned on that it's finally happening, that her geges have deemed her ready. She moans a little when they pull away, and her partner gives a low, amused chuckle. When the blindfold is removed, she looks up to see the smirking face of Luo Qingyang, cheeks flushed and eyes hot.
"Don't think we didn't remember everyone on your list, meimei," Jin Zixuan says, kneeling behind Qin Su to untie the sash at her waist. "Mianmian was very excited to help us get you ready."
"Can't be cultivation society's favorite slut if you don't know your way around a pussy," Luo Qingyang says with a wink. “It will be my genuine pleasure to help you in your ambitions, Qin-guniang.”
[/end incest warning]
JYL tentacle friend is a very sketchy PWP idea @theleakypen and I have discussed wherein a friendly cephalopod with some mental projection powers squeezes its entire body into a cavity she did NOT expect it to fit. 🫢🐙
And Zhancheng Magic Boyfriend Journal is an unfinished modern AU with @bideroo where Jiang Cheng and Lan Wangji are each gifted a diary that is enchanted to link with that of your soulmate so you can exchange anonymous messages. Here's JC's opening salvo:
Well, I’ll give them this, the commitment to verisimilitude is impressive. I’m pretty sure this is bullshit, but if there’s actually someone on the other end of this, hi, I guess.
My name is ncuk47^÷&×hdj7hka(@
You can call me hdk^63$(zws<@=p
hdk^63$(zws<@=p
Wow, for a journal that’s supposed to help us find our “fated one,” you’d think they’d be a little less zealous with the redacting.
MAN WHAT IF WE FINISHED THINGS HUH? Thank you for the ask!
Hate 2 say it but with XueXiao amnesia, Yi City would not even change that much. That said, Yi City with *Xue Yang* as the amnesiac fixes everything 😆
“Who are you?”
“No idea. Do you know?”
“Nope.”
“Guess we live here now.”
Cue Song Lan having the worst day EVER when Xue Yang greets him with a “Oh, XXC said such nice things about you! I've always wanted to meet you! Maybe YOU know who I am??”
Sexuality Headcanon: <<troll sexuality is always fun to get into. she's fairly simple for me - overall she's actually got a slight preference towards women in all quadrants, but she's also attracted to other genders. human!aradia would call herself a bi lesbian, i think.>>
Gender Headcanon: <<more complicated. before she dies, she is happily a girl! while she's a ghost, she honestly connects more with the agender label, because she doesn't really feel strongly about anything. after she god tiers, with her new perspective on things... she sees herself as genderfluid, usually between agender and girl. mostly she ends up going with whatever makes her feel right in the moment. she does consistently use she/her pronouns, but i feel like she starts experimenting with neopronouns after she god tiers. i could see her using fae/faer.>>
A ship I have with said character: Ara<3Sol
A BROTP I have with said character: <<hmmm, i think she should be bros with feferi!>>
A NOTP I have with said character: <<aradia/equius in any quadrant. :6 >>
A random headcanon: <<i don't have a toooonne of headcanons for her? she's more a rotisserie blorbo than a deep thoughts blorbo. i happen to like the idea that her pupils are shaped like goat pupils, though.>>
General Opinion over said character: <<mostly i just think she's neat.>>
I'm very into your f!WWX AU not just for its own sake but also because if she gets brought back by Mo Xuanyu as in canon, that means we get trans woman Wei Wuxian! :3
See I was thinking about that! BC in mdzs canon wwx gets resurrected in mxy’s body and absolutely tw!wwx all the way!
If I was to follow cql canon (which I almost always do, i never tag my stories as mdzs, always cql or the untamed), then... I’m like?? Does she just get brought up in her own body??? I was gonna have her crossdress the entire time as mxy lol.
The au is a Real Mess. I doubt I’m gonna write more about it because it’s like... so many emotional layers to peel through. Y’all can use your imagination right?? XD
Things to consider:
1) Jiang Yan inheriting LWJ’s silent pettiness and use Polite Passive Aggressiveness at him without knowing he’s her Dad. Or honestly, even after knowing he’s her dad.
2) WWX procrastinating on telling Jiang Yan or Lan Zhan the truth.
3) Jiang Cheng waiting 13 years to verbally rip into Lan Wangji once and for all for what he did to Wei Wuxian.
4) Gusu Lan and Yunmeng Jiang, in true asian family bragging about their kids fashion, have a not-so-subtly pitted Lan Sizhui and Jiang Yan against teach other. Sizhui is older and more seasoned, but Yan’er is Ambitious and Cutthroat.
5) Nie Huaisang reaaaally enjoying the tea.
6) Jin Guangyao’s Villain Monologue gets additionally derailed by More Family Drama.
man,, everyone’s summer outfits and high ponies/buns/braids is because I HAVEN’T LET MY HAIR DOWN IN DAYS,, AND I HAVE GROWN TO HATE SLEEVES,, IT IS SO HOT,, SO HOOOOTTT I’M CRYING EVERYDAY
For the 3-sentence fics - XiChengQing + space AU? (leaving whether triad or V with one of the characters as the hinge, and romantic or queerplatonic up to you :3)
Uuuh, that is interesting! Let's see what I can pull out. I admit it IS a bit of a challenge, but I like it.
***
The space is huge, infinite and lonesome, especially with the barebone crew in that spaceship, and sometimes Captain Jiang Wanyin sees in that immense silent starry sky an echo of his own solitude.
It is then that Doctor Wen Qing comes by and offers a tea - or whatever can be plausibly passed as such - and the comfort of a hug, as she gets lonely too, so far from home.
It is then that Botanist Lan Xichen, him too way too far from home, brings in a new specimen of plant and offers the pleasure of a talk and the closeness and warmth that only humans can have - and Captain Jiang Wanyin is reminded that he is not alone in the universe.
