WIP Game!
WIP Game!
I was tagged by @e-n-t-r-o-p-i-c-f-r-o-g. Thanks!
Rules:
Make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder.
Let people send you asks with the title that most intrigues them, then post a snippet or reveal something about it.
Tag others to continue the game.
I'm going to provide a little more information besides the titles, because otherwise, picking one feels too much like a shot in the dark.
UNPUBLISHED:
In Memoriam: MDZS, postcanon. Wei Ying is asked to pretend he's Mo Xuanyu and bid farewell to the former nanny of the Mo family, so she can pass away in peace.
Scars: MDZS, postcanon. Wei Ying asks Lan Zhan if, given the chance, he'd erase the scars left by his punishment.
First night: TGCF, missing scene. During the first night he spends in Puqi shrine after meeting Xie Lian on the ox cart, Hua Cheng ponders about what kind of life the prince has lived the last eight hundred years, and about the function of his second shackle.
Clarity: TGCF, canondivergence. Hua Cheng comes back from his second dispersion early, but he's barely there, unable to move or speak on his own. Afraid of exposing his beloved to any malignant actor while in such vulnerable state, and tormented by how much and in how many ways he missed him, Xie Lian locks them both inside the Mt. Taicang's shack until he can come up with a solution.
Pearl Memories: TGCF, postcanon. Xie Lian decides to learn how to style hair properly, and in return, he learns about what happened to the lock of hair he tied around Hua Cheng's finger during the land of the tender incident.
Haifisch: TGCF, mermaid AU. To unwind from his gruelling job and difficult circumstances, Xie Lian has got into the habit of screaming underwater while he swims at the bay, unaware of the fact that his sorrow smells like blood in the water for Hua Cheng, a siren that feeds from despair.
The Newcomer/King of the Ghosts: TGCF, postcanon. A new earth master ascends and immediately accuses Hua Cheng of having stolen his auspicious fate in marriage and use it for himself in order to marry Xie Lian. Seeing in this a chance to free herself from her bureaucratic prison, Ling Wen offers to take care of the case.
The Secret Garden: TGCF, postcanon. Xie Lian is a tireless worker, and while Hua Cheng deeply admires that of him, he's also desperate to make him settle and rest after so many years of struggle. Perhaps making Paradise Manor feel like a real home could do the trick.
Picture perfect: TGCF, modern AU. Hua Cheng begrudgingly agrees to participate in a photography project of his fellow uni student He Xuan, under the condition that he won't have to remove his eyepatch. However, when he arrives to the studio and meets Xie Lian, an incredibly charming man who's missing the right leg, he fears he might be persuaded into exposing his own scars.
The fantasy creatures pitches: SVSSS, MDZS, TGCF (but they aren't crossovers). Chinese mythology AUs. I wrote six pitches for the Tails And Scales fanzine, two for each novel. They picked one from TGCF, but I can talk about the other five.
Fairy Boy: Zelda BotW, missing scene. The story of Link growing up and how he ventured into the Lost Woods to find the Master Sword at age 12. It's entirely told in rhymes, like a children's bedtime story.
ONGOING:
Heavenly Damnation: TGCF, modern AU, metal music. After eight years of taking on awful gigs to stay afloat, Xie Lian is forced to confront his past when issues with the registration office bring him back to the capital. The difference? Hua Cheng, who has been his biggest fan since the beginning, is now ready to help him out of the hell Bai Wuxiang put him into.
Treasure Hunting in the Clouds: TGCF, modern AU. Hua Cheng bought a first class couple's pod to fly back to London after a business trip to the USA, but the airline forced his hand at the last minute and shoved a stranger in the other half of the bed. Hua Cheng hates this at first, but he changes his mind when he sees who's his impromptu pod mate.
Within Reach: TGCF, canondivergence. During their long walk towards Mount Tonglu while Hua Cheng is in his sealed child form, he and Xie Lian encounter humans who tell stories and legends of Crimson Rain Seeking A Flower, and decide to make a game out of it in order for Xie Lian to learn more about his secretive companion.
The Perfect Gift: Zelda BotW, post canon. Unauthorized sequel of the orphaned fic "A Most Convenient Marriage". On a mad race to eliminate the new threat looming over Hyrule, Link comes to terms with his strained relationship with Zelda and the blooming love he shares with Prince Sidon.
This... is hella lot more than I expected to have, lmao. Feel free to ask about as many titles as you want. I'm just now starting to use Tumblr again, so I'm sorry if I'm being inopportune with the tags: @ardenrabbit, @edenwolfie, @peachylixir, @callmefoxypepsi.

ABCDMXTX - Day 19: Shen Qingqiu.
Let's pretend it hasn't been three months since the day I was supposed to finish this. A classic case of better done than perfect.
List of prompts.
Chapter 4: Something for Xie Lian
This story is complete! Right in time to alleviate the void left by the ending of season 2 of the donghua (what will be of our Wednesdays now?)
One of my goals for 2024 is to write in a more relaxed and spontaneous way, and here's my first step in that direction.
Summary: After a series of unfortunate events, Xie Lian’s old friends allow him to crash their couch for a few weeks. Upon arrival, Xie Lian is amazed by the amount of online shopping Feng Xin and Mu Qing do, and even more by the extremely awkward timing of the local postman who brings their parcels. How is it possible that this man only rings whenever Xie Lian is in the shower?!
>listening to nin
>hear a new layer to song ive relistened to over and over
>"wow i cant believe i never noticed this before! i wonder what kind of synth he used. its very forboding in a specific way only nin can achieve"
>pause song to write post praising nin
>the synth specifically keeps playing despite the rest of the song being paused
>look outside window
>garbage truck
Here's a reimagining I wrote of the scene in book 4 where Xie Lian gets drunk at the graveyard. Mind the tags, please.
Summary:
Didi (弟弟): Younger brother.
Drunk for the first time in his life, Xie Lian accidentally falls in an open burial pit and finds that he’s not alone.
Canon divergence from chapter 185 of the original/unrevised serialized edition.
“Our culture suffers from terminal brainworms when it comes to artistic expression. We are under the impression that art is something ‘special people’ do, and to do it well makes you a genius and to do it poorly is embarrassing. This sectioning-off of ‘the art world, for artists,’ from regular life and regular people is completely artificial and it is bad for the soul of your society.
You see, for most of history and in current cultures that do not have this psychological disorder, you do not sing because you’re a singer, you sing because you’re a person—it’s fucking singing! Religious institutions are one of the last places that we still understand that singing is an innately human participatory social act, not the exclusive domain of fuckin’…Ariana Grande.
The result of removing this stigma and arbitrary qualification required to do something as simple as draw or dance isn’t just less self-hatred, less insecurity, less anxiety, better community, better connection to your body, more holistic communion with others and the world around you, and simple indulgence in your fundamental humanity—it also results in categorically better artists.”
CJ the X, 7 Deadly Art Sins
Hi! I wanted to know if the lyrics for all the songs in withering lotus and rotting waters were written by you? And if you would let me use them someday if they are yours. Not for another written work or anything like that but to use them for a song?
Hello! Yes, all the lyrics are written by me, except for the verse of Queen's "My Fairy King" in Withering Lotus, chapter 7, and the "Song of Yue Boatman" in Rotting Waters, chapter 4.
And yes, you can musicalize them as not-for-profit/non-commercial projects! Preferably as metal songs, but if that's not your genre, it's fine too. If you do it, please send me a link, I'd love listening to them 🤩

紅簾前 "Before the Red Curtain" - song from TGCF donghua Season 2 Episode 2 (lyrics translation)
This is the song played when Hua Cheng taught Xie Lian to roll dice. Some of the lyrics from this song are kind of abstruse, so there're definitely elements of my interpretation, see lyrics translation below:
如影拂輕幔 亦如夢飄轉
Like a shadow brushing against the light curtain, like a drifting and whirling dream
翩翩花雨 遊入長街盛宴
A shower of dancing flowers travels through the festivities on the long street
人聲作伴 四下皆歡 未斷
Accompanied by the noise of the crowd, the celebration is all around and unceasing
隔淺淺一線 倏然驟暖
Seperated by a thin line, the warmth grows all of a sudden
繞指間紅線 繫兩端輕纏
The red string around fingers tied around two ends gently connects them
緣起驚鴻 結作銀蝶相盼
Fate brought us together when I laid my eyes on you; longing for each other, fate connects us with the silver butterflies
盅裡玲瓏 幾番輾轉
The delicately carved dice in the cup tossed and turned
凝眸處依舊 映晨星斑斕
The one I gaze on still looks the same, with morning stars reflected in his eyes
逐世間逢故人 裁長夜銜離恨
Pursuing an old aquintance in this mortal world; the long night grows shorter, I taste the regret of seperation
一朝一夕織紅簾 相認
Day and night, weaving the red curtain so we'd recognize each other
遣游絲爭繚春 染心花舞紛紛
Send out gossamer in the air to entangle the spring, the joy in my heart blooms like dancing flowers
手心溫 擲年輪 皆遊刃
The palm is warm that tosses away years as skillfully as it wields knives
不語或忘言 咫尺卻難辨
Speechless or forgetting to speak, you're hard to recognize even close in front of me
切念浮想 猶似經久未見
How I long for you, so many thoughts of you on my mind, as if I haven't seen you in a long long time
迷雲飛幌 流螢熠熠 怎斂
Streaming curtains in misty clouds and glowing fireflies, how do I gather it
望眉宇模樣 恍若從前
Watching your face, it looks the same as it was in the old days
無止或無端 悲喜中縈牽
Without end, without cause, lingering and tangling in sorrow and joy
眇眇幽火 曾映照伴人間
The small feeble flame was once your companion, casting a light on you in the mortal world
粲然一笑 萬事隨煙
With a bright smile, the burden of everything dissipates like the smoke
天縱難垂憐 只為一至願
Even though the heavens could not pity you, yet only for this one most earnest wish
逐萬變知所向 予此間知所眷
Chase all the changes in the world to know the direction, and know who's the one dear to you in this mortal world
但見月缺覆月圓 相連
See the full moon turns into the sickle moon, and lovers together under the same moon
此身虔渡此程 等千年更繾綣
I travel through this life with great faith and devotion, love only deepens over a thousand years of waiting
寄明燈 枕遙夜 伴夢眠
Send off the bright lanterns, in a faraway place I sleep and dream
一朝一夕織紅簾
Day and night I weave the red curtain
