It's time for the obligatory post, now that the most wonderful time of the year (a.k.a. @sxx-exchange) is almost over. This is the fic I wrote for @veliseraptor's lovely prompt, which allowed me to make this whole thing about A-Qing. (Sorry. I am who I am.)
Little Ghost of Crossroads
Rating: M Fandom: MDZS Relationships: A-Qing & Xue Yang, A-Qing & Xiao Xingchen, A-Qing & Song Lan, Song Lan/Xiao Xingchen/Xue Yang (mostly Songxiao and Xuexiao) Words: 73,765 (why) In his last moments, dying by Lan Wangji’s sword in Yi City, Xue Yang shatters A-Qing’s spirit. She’s sent back to the day it all fell apart with one clear objective: kill Xue Yang and save Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan. Of course, things can never be that easy.
Featuring:
Time loops, but our protagonist has never heard of time travel
Songxuexiao going through it in multiple variations
Xue Yang haunting the narrative, just a little, as a treat
The lingering effects of having had the Yiling Laozu in your head
The insurmountable task of saving your stubbornly miserable daozhang's life and happiness while also readjusting to having a living body again after spending seven years as a ghost and trying not to fall apart from all the unprocessed trauma, and other normal things to experience in your teens (Twenties? Who even knows at this point.)
A-Qing lying to herself, her daoshi, Xue Yang, and you, the reader
If you enjoy Yi City fix-its with twists, please also check out the beautiful gift I got! It's a wonderful and very intriguing take on SXX after the fix-it, featuring Songxue sharing a brain! You know you want brain sharing in your life!
