Rules: Posting a list of current writing works in progress. Feel free to ask me for info on any of them, whether snippets of writing, plot details, main characters, etc. Send me a work listed below, and I’ll share something related to it.

Let's see:

Mirage (The Untamed, Nié Mingjue/Wen Ning, Ningjue, Lan Xichen/Nié Huaisang, Huaisang's wedding, past Nié Mingjue/Meng Yao|Jin GuangYao,) When Nie Mingjue needs a date for his brother' s wedding. He finds himself in the predicament that: he is very much single, married to his job and with no posible prospect in sight. Feeling desperate hires an escort, it will only be just for a night right? No one would care.

It all starts from pieces (The untamed, Nie Huaisang/Lan Xichen, modern Au, happy ending, blind dates, misunderstandings.) Complete

A heart like yours (The Untamed, Nie Huaisang/ Jiang Cheng, Angst with a happy ending, modern AU, accidental marriage.) The old trope married in Vegas except they both have feelings for each other, they are both too dumb to realize it. Complete

Absentia: In silence we yearn (The untamed, Nie Mingjue/ Nie Zonghui (main pairing) Lan Xichen/ Nie Huaisang (established relationship) Angst, cannon divergent, major character revive) With the help of unwanted magic Nie Mingjue comes back to live, great ha? But magic always comes with a price. Currently, working on chapter 4.

My Writing on AO3 @zaidnovi

Stray(The Untamed, The Lan Clan, Xisang for end game, Angst and fluff and everything in between.) complete

The  frog and the magpie (The Untamed, Jiang Cheng/ Nie Huaisang, frenemies with benefits, angst.) After the events of the temple, Nie Huaisang and Jiang come into a complicated arrangement; their encounters seem to always end entangled in the sheets. What if one of them ends up developing feelings for the other? Now complete.

Management is not responsible for Qi Rong.

Imagine if Yin Yu was better at acting and managed to hide his identity from Quan Yizhen except due to his habit of helping/saving QYZ even while actively disliking/fearing him, QYZ ends up getting super attached to the Waning Moon Officer (think: stuffing gold bars in Xie Lian’s offering box & throwing a bed at Pei Ming to help him but 10x worse). I just think this would make for a really amusing (for me) and stressful (for YY) identity porn scenario

urgent questions

[bytedykes]

[ID: TGCF comic starring Hua Cheng. The first panel shows him reacting in shock to an array communication from He Xuan, who tells him: "His Highness the Crown Prince of Xianle has ascended (again). Anyway, he's gonna [be] on this mountain." A location pin on a mountain is shown. Hua Cheng then kicks down a door, in the style of the Candace meme from Phineas and Ferb. He yells, "OMW!!" then suddenly freezes and and goes, "WAIT." He's focused on the earring he's wearing; a red bead with a tassel.

Hua Cheng then runs to his computer (a bulky vintage-type monitor) and begins searching, "Which ear is the gay [ear]". Various screenshots show that he receives mixed results, one saying the left ear, another saying the right, and an AI Summary unhelpfully telling him that it's the left ear, but also the right ear. Hua Cheng sweats as he reads through the search results.

Finally, Hua Cheng and Xie Lian are shown meeting in the Gambler's Den, when Hua Cheng is in his true form. Hua Cheng is showing Xie Lian how to throw dice. Forgoing the earring entirely, the red bead has been woven into Hua Cheng's braid. /end ID]

sorry to post religious ads but i got this ad

and i can't get over how the artist/graphic designer clearly went in knowing they were replicating classic holy white bird imagery and did a decent job with the editing too, except they either don't know what a dove is, don't know that the bird being specifically a dove matters, or just got real lazy and chose the first all white bird that came up in search results because that is fully a seagull in that image

Chapters: 7/7 Fandom: 陈情令 | The Untamed (TV), 魔道祖师 - 墨香铜臭 | Módào Zǔshī - Mòxiāng Tóngxiù Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence Relationships: Lan Zhan | Lan Wangji/Wei Ying | Wei Wuxian, Lan Huan | Lan Xichen/Meng Yao | Jin Guangyao Characters: Wei Ying | Wei Wuxian, Lan Zhan | Lan Wangji, Lan Huan | Lan Xichen, Meng Yao | Jin Guangyao, Lan Qiren, Jiang Cheng | Jiang Wanyin, Jiang Yanli, Wen Qing (Modao Zushi) Additional Tags: Time Travel AU, fixit, Temporary Character Death, rated for language in the author’s note and LWJ’s baseline levels of horniness, all women live no women die, LWJ’s canonically intense feelings about everything all the time, WWX’s clinical depression gets treated and blamed on resentful energy, navigating gay marriage in ancient china by utiliizing class snobbery for your own ends, if you’re not sure whose fault anything going on in here is then blaming NHS is probably a good bet, WWX plays ‘summon LWJ’ it’s super effective!, the ‘unexploded cow’ approach to dealing with your enemies Summary:

Lan Zhan dies two years before canon and promptly wakes up in the library at Cloud Recesses right across from Wei Wuxian, napping facedown in a pile of copywork.

He has a lot of questions. Is this the afterlife? If it’s not, then is he alone with his memories? And most importantly, what does he need to do to keep his soulmate alive this time?

Wei Ying did not stir as he knelt down by the desk. It had been so long since Lan Zhan had seen those beloved features and even longer since he’d been allowed to either get or stay this close to Wei Ying.

He looked so different from Lan Zhan’s memories; apple cheeked, clean, and relaxed.

Lan Zhan clamped both hands over his own mouth to stop the pained noise that threatened to escape him. Hot tears spilled down his face as he watched the young, safe, and whole boy sleep. His stomach cramped with the effort of holding the sound in, but he’d sooner die than wake Wei Ying up.

The scene where Tianlang-Jun catches Zhuzhi-Lang "in bed" with Shen Qingqiu is so much funnier with the added context from the extras. Once you have Zhuzhi-Lang's account of what happened, it means that things went down more like this:

Tianlang-Jun: let's check on my beloved nephew and Master Shen to see how they're doing. I want Zhuzhi-Lang to have someone to take care of him when I'm gone, so maybe that pesky "ties that bind" curse will bring him and Master Shen closer together ~ ❤️

*Tianlang-Jun walks in on Shen Qingqiu and Zhuzhi-Lang in bed together*

Shen Qingqiu, internally: oh shit, Binghe's dad is going to think I'm having sex with his nephew!! How embarrassing!! But since Zhuzhi-Lang isn't saying anything, that must mean he's tacitly taking our side and doing us a solid by not blowing our cover!

Zhuzhi-Lang, internally: Immortal Master Shen is trying to escape!! This is bad!! And Luo BInghe is here, trying to aid him!! But my uncle explicitly asked me to seduce Peak Lord Shen, and he would be very disappointed if he realized we were not, in fact, having sex right now, so I shall...not correct my lord's assumptions on the matter.

Luo Binghe, hidden under the covers, shaking in a jealous rage, squeezing that poor snake like a looneytoon:

Zhuzhi-Lang, wheezing, not even trying to speak:

Tianlang-Jun, now the proudest uncle in the three realms: my, my, don't stop on my account—

[confuzing]

Sometime in the future~~

Shen Qingqiu and Luo Binghe are cuddling in bed, when an improperly drawn curtain allows a beam of early morning light to land on Shen Qingqiu's face.

He groans and hides his face in Luo Binghe's chest.

"Binghe," he mutters, still half asleep. "Kill the sun."

Luo Binghe, also still mostly asleep, sits up immediately. Shizun has issued him a direct order.

"Yes Shizun-!"

"No wait!" Shen Qingqiu, now wide awake and horrified, pulls Binghe back down and pats his head. "Nevermind, Binghe needs to stay here."

Binghe, still too sleepy to realize what just happened. "Yes Shizun..."

Binghe falls back asleep. After calming down a little Shen Qingqiu does too.
