here's the fic I wrote for mxtx remix!

"run away with you" is an svsss f/f fic about the bingqiu dynamic immediately post-canon. I had a lot of fun writing it; I hope you enjoy reading it!

#svsss #bingqiu
Fandom: SVSSS Focus: bingqiu Setting: immediately post-canon in a rule 63 au Length: 2,118 words Themes: remix; canon-typical unreliable narrator Summary: Running away from the celebration on Cang Qiong, hand in hand with her tearful disciple, had a funny sort of exhilarating feeling to it – like Shen Qingqiu and Luo Binghe were beginning an adventure together. Even though the story was over! The System had said so! Shen Qingqiu had successfully plugged plotholes, improved the story logic, and changed the genre, though she still wasn’t sure what female readers could find sexy about a story featuring two women.

ok I did this on mastodon but let's play here too!
A tweet that reads: Reply with a fic premise that 100% sounds like the thing of thing I would write, and I’ll tell you how embarrassingly accurate it is.

I use Thumb-Key! It's an open-source app you can get from F-droid, and it looks like this.

The central characters in each cell are chosen by a regular press and the subsidiaries by a short swipe within the cell in the desired character's direction. It's also customisable in appearance and function

Some bird photos are good because they are beautifully detailed shots that show you all the features of the bird. Some bird photos are good because they're fun.

This is absolutely the best photo of a dark-eyed junco I have ever taken.

progress has been slower of late on my fic writing but it is #WIPWednesday nonetheless!
Lan Jingyi thanked the disciple, a shixiong who he’d never spent much time with, but knew by reputation as the sort of person who enjoyed the disciplined watchful stillness that guard duty generally required. Wasn’t it wonderful how different people could be! If Lan Jingyi were expected to stand guard regularly, he would probably end up breaking at least 15 rules at once in desperation, and be kicked out of Cloud Recesses. Anything to avoid the overwhelming boredom!

My latest #bookbinding project! Wei Furen from the Taiping Guangji, as translated by forestofglory

I tried a coptic style binding; I'm glad I tried it, but I am unlikely to reach for this style again, I think.

I'm definitely improving at other bookbinding skills, though, which is pleasing!
Photo of two quarto sized books, with swirly blue covers, labeled Wei Furen. The white stitching thread is visible coming out of six holes on the cover of the top one. Photo of one copy of the books in the previous photo, standing with its pages fanned. Photo of the book opened to the first main page of text, the Translator's Note. The book sits open nicely.

Post the cover of the first book you are reading in 2025.

I started listening to the audiobook murderbots recently because it's been too long since I first read the books, and this is the one I was in the middle of when we switched over to 2025. (I've already moved on to Rogue Protocol)

I'm amazed it isn't a common plot in post-canon #mdzs fics to draw on the deliberately hanging thread of people's interest in the tiger seal, and the idea that they can get it from the nieyao coffin
screenshot from mdzs, reading as follows: Suddenly, he heard a young man’s voice, “Then is the Tiger Seal really inside the coffin?” A cloud of silence fell over the wine shop. A moment later, someone answered, “Who knows? Perhaps. What could Jin GuangYao have done with the Tiger Seal except for carrying it on him?” “But there’s no way of telling. Didn’t they say the Seal’s become just a piece of scrap iron? There’s no use for it anymore.” The boy sat alone at a table, holding a sword in his arms, “Is the coffin really firm enough? What would happen if someone wants to see if the Tiger Seal is inside or not?” Immediately, someone raised his voice, “Who’d dare?” “The QingheNie Sect, the GusuLan Sect, and the YunmengJiang Sect all sent people to guard the cemetery. Who in the world would have the guts to do it?” Everyone expressed their agreement. The boy didn’t speak up again. He took the teacup from his table and sipped, as though he gave up on his idea. Yet, his eyes hadn’t changed at all. Wei WuXian had seen those types of eyes on many faces. And he knew that this definitely wouldn’t be the last time he saw them.

Low lighting and throbbing music surround him along with the movements of energetic bodies. By the bar, his husband perches awkwardly on a stool with a lime-topped sparkling water in hand. Clubs are not a place Zixuan feels comfortable, but he insists he wants to come anyway on nights Yanli goes out. Yanli could easily feel stifled by the apparent surveillance – but he knows Zixuan better than that, and just feels unbearably fond.
