[For Archiving Purposes Only] This Jan 2024 post ended at 14,813 notes!

Ok so I feel like it's important to note that the original post was completed in Jan 2024 with 14,813 notes on the final day.

I should have watermarked the post and learned from it as now I watermark every post I make. Also this post was mysteriously taken down without any reason so I'm just going to repost it to archive this history lol. I'll copy this message at the end too.

Day 12: A fic from your favorite author

@hprecfest

I have two! I love them both always and forever <3 Reccing a fic each from them

Green Grow the Rushes, O by eldritcher. Rated M. 11400 words. Snarry - Incredibly beautiful, incredibly profound, full of rage, love, grief, regret, sacrifice, revenge, mourning and love. It embraces the drama and the whimsy of the canon including the darkness under the surface of a children's story and creates a stunning, beautiful myth. It's a fic you can sing. But also, it's a fic that sings to you. Snape is almost a hostage in this fic whether it is a hostage to Harry, McGonagall, his losses, his guilt, his relationship with his father, the eroding church and shoreline and even the constellations in the sky. We are also co-hostages with him. When he's in TOTAL disbelief of his imperfect, sexy happy ending we are right there with him :D The most atmospheric fic of its wordcount range.

Year of the Thestral by @perverse-idyll Rated E. 127200 words. Snape/McGonagall - Tragically beautiful, intense, complex picture of love, rage, betrayal, grief and loss and a whole lot of other emotions. Because folks don't feel exactly one or two emotions at any given time after experiencing intense life events like what happened to the characters during DH and nobody can write that full, unnamed range and depth of emotions with the specificity and intensity PI can. A wildfire of a fic. Like any wildfire you get some pine cones bursting and new life/new emotion in the end but it's bittersweet and you can see how the dawn poured like weak tea through the eastern windows, feel what it's like to be accepted beyond the wildest imaginings of the lank-haired, half-feral child who'd once scrambled aboard the Hogwarts Express, feverishly reaching for a better life and like Snape you are going to spend a blissful hour dreaming of the taste of tea. The most Snape Snape ever Snaped.

On a lot of levels, my fav authors have similar vibes in their writing. I feel they write similar subjects but with different frequencies if that makes sense. The writing has similar tones of IDGAF self-indulgence and zero adherence to fandom zeitgeists. They have the ability to write multiple characters and pairings in different settings with the same level of passion, originality and conviction. They are both insanely obsessed with language/prose/poetry and intertextuality and can actually make that work for their fics. They also have the rare gift of makebelieve in the classic storytelling sense of "I can make you suspend your disbelief" which leads to gorgeously sublime fics that are full of confidence + earnestness in the world/setting which means you have no choice but to make it your reality until you are on the fic's last word and it's going to haunt you after that for the rest of your life. They commit 100% to the story and to the romance of the story. They go 100% into the good/bad/ugly mud of human stuff without making me as a reader feel squicked out/dirty. Also flesh? Like I always feel they write characters with flesh and everything associated with that in a poignant, humorous, wistful, fully engaged with the flesh + its flaws sense. The overall ending feel is always bittersweet joy that stays with me and changes my understanding of life in some mysterious way. In both cases, I feel I can analyze the fics for days in whatever Doylist or Watsonian framing I want. But even without those things, their fics mean 100% of everything for me. Love love love <3

airsLLide No. 11400: N537YV, Fokker 70, America West Express, operated by Mesa Airlines, Phoenix, February 5, 1996.

While the Fokker 100 was widely used in the US, with American Airlines (75 units), USAir (40 units) and Midway Airlines (12 units) bringing the total to 127 aircraft, its smaller sister, the Fokker 70, was a rarity in the US. The only two units ever to fly with an US carrier were N528YV and N537YV above that joined the fleet of the regional feeder Mesa Airlines in 1994 and 1995 respectively. They were operated by Mesa on behalf of America West Express, serving Des Moines, Spokane and later also Montrose and Fresno from the mainline's hub in Phoenix. Plans to expand the Fokker fleet to eight units were dropped - had to be dropped, actually - following Fokker's going out of business and the two leased jets were traded back in 1997 already.

Slaughter a Bull By the Throat, Not the Neck.

=1969, א‎טוט‎, "I will draw", meaning drawing the blood out is the same thing as drawing the intellect out by severing the vocal chords so to speak, enabling the bull's ears.

He will still need his neck in order to turn his head and see where he is going-provided he heads in the direction that leads out of Egypt.

Also, 1+9+6+9= 25, 2+5, = bet beh "Must be marriageable."

bet=The feminine noun בתולה (betula), meaning virgin or rather young marriageable maiden (Leviticus 21:13, Deuteronomy 22:19). It seems that in the Hebrew Bible, our word may sometimes be used for a virgin, but often more so for a young and vigorous woman. 

heh= The prefix ה (he) is as interrogative pronoun, basically to serve as question mark (that sits in front of a word instead of after). Connected to the particle of negation לא (lo'), it forms the term הלא, meaning 'is not?'

The full text for how the shochet is to be performed can be found here, but if we look at the Gematria for the text related to the neck, here is what we find:

"Ritual slaughter of animals differs in many ways from common techniques of slaughter. In ritual slaughter, we find caution and detail in every act. In this rabbinically supervised slaughter, the animal is killed with a knife.

In this act we emphasize Jewish respect for the dignity of life. Great care is taken to use a knife that has been properly sharpened. The blade must be flawless, without a nick, and perfectly smooth, thus assuring that the kill will be quick, clean and painless to the animal.

This entire process begins with the shochet (ritual slaughterer) inspecting the knife for possible flaws and nicks. He does this by running the edge of his fingernail and finger up and down the blade. The slightest nick means that the knife must be resharpened. After this, he recites a short Brachabefore beginning the actual Shechita.

This knife (chalaf) is usually about 6 inches long for chickens and 18 inches long for larger animals. The knife has no point at the end of it, and is of equal width from top to bottom. These precautions are necessary in order to guarantee that the neck of the animal will not be torn. The shochet must cut through the trachea and esophagus to the jugular vein very quickly and in a clean fashion. He must not kill the animal by stabbing it."

=11400, א‎את‎, you

=11489, יאדחט, addict

=8936, חטגו‎, cut off

=7212, בזבב‎, in the fly

This must mean we cut the vein in the other throat?

The implications of virginity to a young bull are coming through loud and clear I think...

Gold Feathers Pt. 2

PREVIOUSLY

Let’s barrel on since this was supposed to be all in one anyway

Tinged

When Donald was eleven the farm hit a hard time. The crops were failing and Grandma didn’t have enough to go around. At night, Donald, Della and Gladstone would creep around, listening to Grandma speaking to different people.

“This will affect us for years to come,” she had lamented to someone on the phone.

“I don’t have enough to feed the kids and pay the farmhands,” she had confided in someone else.

As such, all three children knew before Grandma told them that they were being sent to live somewhere else for a while.

“It’s just for a year,” she promised her grandchildren as all three of them climbed into a car that would take them to their uncle’s house. “Then, if you want to, you can come back.”

They loved their uncle- he told amazing, fantastical stories of adventure and lived in a house big enough for them to run around freely in- but being away from Grandma was... not ideal for them.

But it passed. They were expected to help around the house and the yard, as much work was fitting for three children, and Donald and Della fell into a comfortable routine. They found they liked living there, away from the smell of fertilizer in the summer, not having to watch where they stepped out in a pasture and such things.

Gladstone, on the other hand, hated every moment they were there. He and Scrooge didn’t get on too well. Scrooge was frustrated that everything he told Gladstone to do would get done with no help from his half-goose nephew, and Gladstone was frustrated that Scrooge just didn’t understand that he literally could not help it- that he had no control over it at all.

When the end of the year came, Donald knew Grandma was still struggling. He chose to stay at the mansion, and Della did too. Gladstone, however, went back to the farm.

“Do you think you should tell Uncle Scrooge?” Della asked Donald one day when they were twelve, exploring Scrooge’s garage. Donald was focusing on all the different forms of magic in there, feeling how it pulsed and moved, and it was almost as if he could understand it intuitively. “I mean, he has all these cool magic things, maybe he’d know how to help.”

“Maybe,” Donald agreed.

And he decided he would tell Scrooge.

It was too bad Magica chose to drop in. Scrooge kept Della and Donald behind him while fending off the witch, and afterwards had said, “Witches, bah! Let this be a lesson to ye, kids- keep your distance from anyone involved in magic.”

(Yet ironic, Donald would later find out, that Scrooge would say this when he was friends with literal gods, whose magic power was so much more than any sorcerer Donald had ever met. Overwhelmingly so, he could hardly even breathe on Ithaquack with all the magic pulsing and swirling together, competing for dominance over one another. They knew him for what he was immediately but never said a thing- beings so powerful know better, especially when neither Scrooge nor Della give off the waves.)

Donald and Della looked at each other and linked hands. They stayed quiet.

But Donald didn’t stop using it. He didn’t want to risk another buildup like what happened when he was eight. He kept practicing, and the more he practiced the stronger it got.

It was unsteady, unrefined, untrained magic, but no one was being hurt. That was better than the alternative.

Scrooge started taking them on adventures when they were thirteen, and at fourteen Donald met the Sorcerer.

He was an old dog- Scrooge claimed him to be a con artist, unable to feel the waves of magic rolling off of him. The Sorcerer, in turn, focused on Donald, undoubtedly able to feel his magic as well.

“Powerful magic, for one so young,” he commented when Donald finally approached him, feeling drawn to the man. “A young sorcerer- takes one to know one,” he had added with a chuckle.

Later, Donald would learn, only sorcerers could feel magic like that. Witches and wizards and mages and such, they were limited. A sorcerer’s magic, though...

“I don’t want to limit myself,” Donald decided when he was fifteen and the Sorcerer, now his mentor, was urging him to choose a specialization. “I want to learn it all.”

“Not even a sorcerer, in all the years he has, has enough time to learn all magic,” the Sorcerer told Donald. “It is best to master one.”

Donald considered it before shaking his head. “I want to learn as much as I can. Everything’s so interesting! And besides, it could come in handy.”

The Sorcerer didn’t seem to approve, but he nodded and taught Donald the base of all magic, and the basics of the different subjects (as well as he knew how, as he was a master of runes) of magic. He taught him alchemy, runes, sigils, seals, potions, battle magic, healing magic, light magic, dark magic- everything that he knew he taught to Donald, all without Scrooge’s knowledge.

When Donald had learned all he could from the old Sorcerer and turned seventeen, the Sorcerer gifted him with a staff.

“It will help you hone your magic,” he told Donald with a smile. “And it will enable you to control it better, concentrate it more and be more precise when you aim your spells. All sorcerers like ourselves need one- the magic that courses through us can at times be uncontrollable. This will help.”

The last lesson Donald had before he graduated from apprentice was how to use the staff, and he felt an immediate difference.

Magic, particularly strong magic, had left him exhausted as he focused so hard to keep it in his hands, focused so hard to keep it where it needed to be. The staff, however, seemed to resonate with the magic within himself, and when he channeled his magic through it the magic obeyed without struggle.

It was exhilarating.

He showed Della, and she marvelled over the craftsmanship- the hand-carved white oak and the pale blue crystal set into the rosegold head of the staff. It looked like an artifact that Scrooge would have gone after, had he known it existed.

And it belonged to Donald.

It wasn’t always easy, hiding his magic. It was like having a secret identity- he kept his staff hidden in its own little pocket dimension (learning that spell had been... difficult, to say the least), which could only be accessed when he cast a certain spell.

Sometimes, he’d be showing Della a new spell he learned when Scrooge would barge in, saying something about discovering the location of a new lost civilization. Donald would panic and shove the staff into the pocket dimension, thankful he always kept his back to the door.

That problem was solved when he figured out how to create wards to warn him someone was approaching.

Then, sometimes on an adventure, there’d be trouble. His fingers would twitch, he knew he could get them out. Della would notice and shake her head, even when she was being held captive by a creature that could only be described as...

Scratch that, it couldn’t be described.

He’d be seconds away from throwing his secret aside when Scrooge would work a miracle and everyone got out safe and sound.

“Don’t ever reveal yourself for me,” Della told him earnestly when they were fifteen, when he was still an apprentice, holding tightly to his hands. “We don’t know what will happen when Uncle Scrooge finds out.”

When. Not if.

But Donald promised her- he wouldn’t give up his secret.

So he hid it from Scrooge. He kept hiding it, even when it got harder. When the magic became more obvious.

When it started to show in his feathers.

He noticed the gold tinge on his fingertips and in his palms before he turned eighteen, and he contacted the old Sorcerer who told him it was normal- magic often came with physical changes, he’d said. Sometimes it was the colour of their fur or feathers. Other times it was the colour of their hair or eyes. Less often, though- less often, it was the colour of their blood, or a sudden development like thorns, spines or wings.

“It’s natural,” he assured Donald, patting his gold-tinged hands comfortingly. “Just be glad you only have changing feathers.”

“How do you hide it?” Donald asked, gazing down at his palms. It was barely noticeable but, he knew, it would only grow.

“There are different ways,” the Sorcerer told him, pulling the sleeves of his sweater up and tugging the gloves he always wore off. Donald’s eyes widened, observing how the silver- stark, strongest at his fingertips- covered the entirety of his hand rather than just the fingertips and palm, and extended up his arm. The sorcerer then pulled the neck of the sweater down, showing him the web-like pattern of silver reaching up his neck.

It wasn’t hard to figure out that the silver was extending from his hands, where he channeled all his magic into his staff, to cover his entire body.

That will happen to me.

Pity- Donald didn’t think he’d look good with gold feathers.

“I use clothing to cover mine, but you can use a charm. Dyes don’t work- the magic will show through.”

Donald let it go for the time being- it was barely noticeable, after all, and he needed to consider his options. It was a bridge to cross in the future. 

If Scrooge noticed, he didn’t say anything.

Do u have any xicheng fic recs ? Love this blog !

i learned my lesson from the last time i was asked for recs and have been saving links left and right (or trying to remember to do so, yikes) so this time i am oh so ready for this and you, my dear friend, get more than just two links (unlike the poor person who asked me the first time, please check the link for those two fics i recommended cause i won’t link them again here lmao)

under a read more because this is surely going to get long. i’ll be adding all information except for tags, so if the summary doesn’t convince you maybe go give those a read since they always give more hints of what’s to come.

i’ve mixed together favorites and honorable mentions just so there’s more meat to the list, i won’t point out which are which because that’s just not nice <3

divided in three broad categories:

canon (middle of/post/etc.)

alternate universes (full aus or simple canon divergences)

and for everyone’s pleasure: the horny corner

enjoy 🙏

first batch, set somewhere in canon, here we go:

(nothing special) (something special) by three_colored_cat

rated: t | words: 4950 | chapters: 1

tagged as: post-canon

summary: So they orbit around each other, and their nightly rambles become longer, as they speak of things that Jiang Cheng, at least, has never spoken of to anyone else, but they stay almost. Until the night their path bends towards Lan Xichen’s room instead of the guest quarters, and Lan Xichen asks, a hitch barely audible in his voice, “Take tea with me?” The tea is a pretext. Jiang Cheng’s sure of it. Well, almost sure. “We’ve just had tea in the hall.” “Isn’t there always room for more?” The tea is definitely a pretext.        -- Jiang Cheng and Lan Xichen both have jagged edges. But perhaps their broken pieces can fit together into something new.

and its sequel: won’t you say you love me later

Marginal Costs by ohwhatevrewhatevr

tagged as: not tagged but it’s set after both wei wuxian and nie mingjue’s deaths

notes: please note the rating! anyway, this is lan xichen centric, starts with him and jin guangyao chatting, and only has jiang cheng appear halfway through but it still counts <3

summary: “You think you know what you want, Er-Ge,” A-Yao says. “But you should consider what you’re willing to give first,” he says wryly, taking Lan XiChen’s chess piece with slim, skilled fingers. Lan XiChen looks up at A-Yao’s concentrated expression and the hint of contentment on his face that he is special enough to be allowed to see. “It’s not just one decision, but the lead up to many more. One decision decides what else you’re going to have to pay, and each time you have to ask yourself, ignoring the sunk costs, if this time it’s worth it as well.” When his sworn brother looks up at him with those clear, amber eyes, waiting, Lan XiChen feels the pull and gives in: he asks. “Are you happy being in love?”       -- (First half is two sad sworn brothers talking, internally mourning how unfortunate their other sworn brother’s death was :/ and second half is when a mopey boy in blue meets an angsty boy in purple whilst chasing a demonic cultivator, and a lil bit of sexy dual cultivation happens.)

Will, Done by jirluvien

tagged as: post-canon

notes: i’m always wary of fics with de-aged characters but this is really well done, it’s very lan xichen-centric!

summary: Lan Xichen goes to sleep as a jaded man who lost it all and wakes up as a child with no memory of what fate has in store for him. Jiang Wanyin just wants to take care of his business in Cloud Recesses and leave the damn place. He doesn’t expect to come across a boy crying his heart out. (Rated T solely for the underlying angst.)

Picture of the Turning Sphere by omphalos

rated: m | words: 168039 | chapters: 18

tagged as: post-canon

summary: Lan Xichen is a broken man no longer able to trust his own judgement. Jiang Wanyin was broken long ago, and he healed... badly. The cultivation world is off-balance, and it hasn't gone unnoticed. In the middle of an icy winter, a comet appears in the sky. Is it a warning? A celestial dragon? Have the gods, weary of waiting for cultivators to sort out their own mess, decided to take action? Over the course of three seasons, the two sect leaders are forced closer as they attempt to appease the gods and rebalance their land. Perhaps, in the course of their adventures, they will also find a way to rebalance themselves.     ---- TLDR: In which a fiery plot device in the sky forces two lonely, broken men to sort their shit out and find everything they'd been lacking in each other.

summary: It is not something he can name, not something he can describe with the short, concise words of young boys confident in their own limited wisdom. It is when he follows his sister, it is when he chases away snapping teeth and booming barks from his trembling shixiong, it is a guardian's embrace. And when he is with Lan Xichen, he wants to hold on and not let go.

summary: “Well, brother,” says Wei Wuxian, leaning against the outside of Jiang Cheng’s chambers. “I had heard that you and Xichen went on a night hunt and came back with a baby, which is not the order I’d choose to do things in…”      -- In which Jiang Cheng and Lan Xichen acquire a baby of unknown origin, and are the very last to know what it means.

Jiang Cheng lives the same day over and over again, but there’s just one thing that he doesn’t mind repeating.      ---- In which Jiang Cheng gets stuck in a time loop, and nothing he tries can get him out of it.

Deeply, fiercely, completely by velithya

au tagged as: modern with magic

summary: Jiang Cheng has never been close to Lan Xichen, but he's well versed with the way the other man smiles – gentle, yes; welcoming, friendly, always sincere – but never familiar. Lan Xichen smiles now, at Jiang Cheng, and his whole face lights up. He smiles at Jiang Cheng with none of his usual polite distance; he smiles like Jiang Cheng is his entire world. And that's the first time Jiang Cheng meets that Lan Xichen.

our accidental happily ever after by [orphan_account]

rated: t | words: 38249 | chapters: 9 (WIP - INCOMPLETE)

au tagged as: canon divergence

note: okay so, as you can see from the missing author name this is an abandoned work/series. this is the ONLY wip listed here but i think even incomplete this is worth a read. the information above and the summary are from the first of two works of the series i linked above. the second work is missing scenes from the main story, which are also worth reading, especially since it makes the sting of such a nice story being left incomplete less painful

summary: In an effort to get his council to stop forcing the marriage issue on him, Jiang Cheng decides to scare them into submission by marching into Cloud Recesses and proposing to the First Jade of Lan himself. It's a brilliant plan really and there's no way Lan Xichen will do more than laugh at the joke. The council will shut up, Jiang Cheng's marriage annoyances will stop, Jin Ling will get to enjoy some snow, and everything will go back to normal. So to say he's unprepared for Lan Xichen actually accepting his hand in marriage is a bit of an understatement.     -- (A slightly silly au wherein Jiang Cheng refuses to back down, Lan Xichen has a sense of humor, and Jin Ling is a spoiled ball of sunshine. Just wait until Wei Wuxian comes back to life and hears about this.)

notes: the setting in this is much, much closer to canon than what one would think for an au. it’s same characters, same places. makes you think more parallel universe than truly ‘alternate’ if that makes any sense lmao anyway, a giant bunny is involved so?? what else does one need?

summary: The lanterns hanging in the entryway to Lotus Pier sway minutely in the wind. They are old and heavy, bamboo wood panels framing delicately painted silk. There is a story in the art, Jiang Cheng is aware, but he has not looked at it closely since he was young enough to have someone to ask about it. In the warm light of the setting sun, the art is faded and impossible to make out. And there is no one left for him to ask about what it is he can neither see nor understand. The tassels brush through Jiang Cheng’s hair as he leaves.      -- Winter ends with Jiang Cheng tripping over the largest, most peculiar bunny he has ever seen in his life.

notes: this is a series, it has three works at the time of me posting this and all three are: one chapter, rated g, and a little over either 3k or 5k in regards to word count. the second work is exclusively about lan wangji but it’s also worth reading. i like the lan sect but this series is quite critical of it, so if that’s not your thing maybe skip this one! the summary below is from the first work.

summary: “33 lashes,” one of the Elders suddenly coldly says and Lan Xichen’s stomach turns over. “20 for his brother and 13 for daring to defy us,” he goes on and Lan Xichen bows his head in acceptance. The same punishment Lan Wangji endured. Lan Xichen can do it, too. And he manages, without a sound, like Lan Wangji, if only just barely.

summary: Jiang Cheng collapsed onto his couch at 3:00 in the morning, arm slung over his eyes, ignoring the sword still digging into his hip underneath him. Honestly, it was a miracle he’d bothered to kick his shoes off at the door to his apartment when he’d finally staggered through the door just a few moments ago, exhausted as he was. He’d slept with Sandu sticking into more painful places, and he just couldn’t bring himself to care. But before he could fall asleep despite the discomfort of his sword in his side, he heard a new sound. An unusual sound, despite it being a relatively normal one. The sound of a neighbor. When he’d left the apartment that morning (yesterday morning? whatever), he hadn’t had a neighbor.         ----- OR, Jiang Cheng has more in common with his new neighbor Lan Huan than he thought.

summary: EMERGENCY HELP WANTED I lied when I got my job. I told them I had a kid so I could leave early from work to pick him up from daycare, take him to doctor's appointments, and occasionally miss a day when he's sick. Long story short, I'm in too deep. I didn't think it through. Looking to rent a kid for bring your child to work day. Must be a boy ages four to six, longish dark hair, likes soccer. Must also be artistic as the macaroni noodle paintings I made seem a little advanced for his age. Also, I will pay extra for someone willing to play the role of husband when dropping him off. He's a prosecuting attorney who often brings his work home. Message me for further details. Serious inquiries only.

but what if you're only here for a little p/rn? what then? what if yeah, falling in love is nice and all that but can we just get on with it? where's the passion? sect leaders don't have time to waste, after all. and you know what? neither do we. we're all busy people. where's the oh shit you're hot let's fuck fics? well, i got you covered! i am going to be showing my whole ass here but i've left my shame behind years ago when it comes to things like these AND the following fics deserve their moment in the spotlight, i won't apologize for giving credit where it's due! so, here!! these fics are mainly smut, have fun, go stupid go horny <3:

summary: Sect Leader Jiang hoists himself onto the walkway, water sheeting off him and spattering across the boards. His pants are soaked through, of course, barely clinging to his hips – and Zidian aside, he’s otherwise entirely naked- Lan Huan is absolutely and completely frozen. He knows he should look away, stop staring, but he can’t pull his eyes away from all of that skin. He watches a water droplet trickle down the hollow of Sect Leader Jiang’s throat, and wants to follow it with his tongue-

so hot out the box (can we pick up the pace) by sami

rated: e | words: 20397 | chapters: 1

tagged as: modern au

notes: okay listen, the author says they were literally high while writing this which..... only makes this even more of a fun ride? it’s so fucking funny i can’t help but recommend it. lan xichen is the horniest motherfucker around in this and, honestly, good for him! but really, thirsting aside? the author created an amazing modern adaptation for these characters and it’s almost worth moving this entry in the ‘aus’ section (and maybe the 20k should also prompt me to move this out of the ‘quick p/rn fix’ category but aaah idk). the plot is buried under lan xichen’s horny monologue but it’s still there and it is fucking outstanding in so many ways. i don’t even remember if there’s actual sex in this, but lan xichen’s thoughts are enough. every single character is used in such brilliant ways!!!!!! the pairings are insanely good and, have i mentioned, horny lan xichen is hilarious? but again, please, the plot!! this is such a worthy read, i swear the author must be some kind of genius.

summary: There exists a man who is, presumably, in some way connected to Wei Ying. He's an asshole. Lan Huan knows he was in the wrong, but he has accepted that, he has apologised, he did not need to be yelled at by someone whose name he doesn't even know. He is also the hottest person Lan Huan has ever seen, in real life, in movies, on television or in his dreams. Lan Huan may have a problem.

okay, honestly? i’ve gone through literally more than a hundred pages of this pairing on ao3 so i really should have more links to put up but apparently these are the only ones i thought to save and i can’t think of any others off the top of my head. the only tip i can give is that, if i’m remembering right, velithya should have a few more xicheng fics on her ao3 profile—so maybe check that out!

Crown of Red Lotuses Event

A new ~1 week-long event that coincides with the release of Taishakuten. It's like a mix of SP Kiyohime's event, specifically the Mad Desire part of it, and the Mermaid King boss of Senhime's event. Consists of 2 main parts; Demon Domain Crusade and the Final Chapter of Good and Evil.

Demon Domain Crusade

Experience Taishakuten's and Asura's crusades against the Demon Domain. There are a total of 7 chapters, each has 3 waves of increasingly stronger bosses. Lotus Pastries are required to access a chapter, get 1 every day by accessing the event and 3 every day for a total of 700 jade from the exchange shop. An additional pastry can also be obtained by purchasing the event s-jade pack. This part of the event can also be done on auto.

Upon selecting a chapter, you'll start playing as Taishakuten on a tiled map. He has 2 skills that can be used while on the map, using either skill ends your turn. First skill revives Asura and requires defeating 6 bosses to gain 1 usage of it. Second skill places a lotus on a tile next to Taishakuten, has a 1 turn cooldown. If Taishakuten is KO'd, you'll need Sweet Dew to revive him, get 2 every day by accessing the event or buy 1 for 10 jade in the exchange shop. On auto Taishakuten will go towards the nearest enemy and enter a Boss Battle with them or, if he isn't close enough to enter battle, he'll place down a lotus. When Asura is KO'd then reviving him will take priority.

On the map, you'll also have Asura as an ally. He is controlled by AI and will actively go towards the nearest enemies to attack them. If you enter a Boss Battle with an enemy he has attacked, the enemies in the battle with reduced HP. When Asura is KO'd, enemies will try to surround him,

Boss Battles cost 6 AP, can be done solo or co-op and have a 3-minute time limit. Before fighting an enemy you can view their bio, their skills, how strong they can hit and how fast they move across the map.

When an enemy is defeated, regardless of how, you'll get a batch of rewards. Rewards for the small red-headed enemies are; a couple of 4-5* souls, an EXP soul and/or some orochi scales and ~9000 event currency. Rewards for the big belly and kappa enemies are; a couple of 5-6* souls, an EXP soul and/or some orochi scales and ~20000 event currency. Rewards for the red-headed enemies with staffs are; 1 6* soul, a couple of 5-6* souls, some gold orochi scales, an EXP soul and/or some orochi scales and ~55000 event currency.

After defeating 3 rounds of enemies you be rewarded with a batch of items; 2 black daruma shards, 25 mochi, 50000 gold, 20 gold orochi scales, soul boost, 100% EXP boost, a bottle of Soma Wine and 150000 event currency.

Study the 10 Virtues

Unlock skills with Soma Wine for Demon Domain Crusade. Soma Wine is obtained by clearing a chapter of Demon Domain Crusade, 1 bottle of the wine is required to unlock a skill. There are 3 tabs of skills that give buffs for Direct Battles, Taishakuten's Lotuses and Asura. The final buff for Direct Battles can be levelled up multiple times.

As F2P and/or as someone who doesn't have 5000 spare jade for the event, the max number of Soma Wine bottles you can get is 7.

Holy Lotus Pool

Improve the effects for the event frame and unlock hourly event currency by completing 3 sets of tasks. The tasks all relate to Demon Domain Crusade. The top set of tasks relate to the Boss Battles, the bottom-right relate to Taishakuten's Lotuses and the bottom-left relate to Asura. Tasks are;

Boss Battles: - Deal a total of 50mil damage in battle - Defeat 40 bosses in battle - Deal 3mil damage in a single battle

Lotuses: - Deal a total of 20mil damage with Lotuses - Defeat 5 bosses with Lotuses - Deal damage to 3 or more enemies at the same time a Lotus

Asura: - Deal a total of 30mil damage with Asura - Defeat 25 bosses with Asura - Deal damage to 3 or more enemies at the same time by reviving Asura

After completing all the tasks, the rewards you can get per hour is; 11400 event currency, 5800 gold, 8 orochi scales and 6 AP. The icon frame itself cannot be obtained until you participate in the Final Chapter.

Final Chapter of Good and Evil

On the 7th day of the event, there'll be a tab where you can select who you want to side with in the Final Chapter. Your choice is between Asura or Taishakuten, can change your choice at any time before the Final Chapter starts.

Depending on who you picked, you'll have Asura or Taishakuten as your boss. Costs 6 AP to challenge them, solo only and can be done on auto. Regardless of who you picked the battle format is the same. Both have 3 phases that last ~80 seconds. Phases are represented by a tricoloured bar under the boss's HP percentage bar.

1st Phase: - VS Asura: He'll start with 5 minions, his attacks will reduce your max HP and 4 symbols on a lotus flower will slowly glow. - VS Taishakuten: He'll debuff your shiki with the highest attack, on their turn they'll be controlled by him.

2nd Phase: - VS Asura: His 5 minions will disappear and your entire team except Taishakuten will be "KO'd". The 4 hands around him will become new enemies. - VS Taishakuten: He'll summon 4 minions.

3rd Phase: - VS Asura: Taishakuten will gain 4 buffs and your shiki will be "revived". The 4 hands won't be enemies any more and 5 new minions will be summoned. - VS Taishakuten: Asura will gain a bar, under his HP percentage bar, that fills up when you deal damage. When filled he'll launch a special attack.

When the HP bar for either Asura or Taishakuten reaches 0%, the battle and the event in general will be officially over.

While the battle is ongoing there'll be some total accumulated damage rewards and a 6* soul exchange box. The soul box is just the one in Senhime's event, need 60 of an item that drops from the battle and you'll have a choice out 3 random souls. Total accumulated damage needed to get all the rewards is 800mil, rewards are; 200000 gold, 100 gold orochi scales, 400 AP, 100 jade and a 4* white daruma.

There is also a leader board, but the rewards displayed on it are the ones for total damage. They are not additional rewards.

After the battle is over, the animated frame for the Final Chapter will become unlocked. You'll also get the event frame that you unlocked effects for in the Holy Lotus Pool but with an additional particle effect in the bottom left or right.

Recommended Teams

Crusades

Standard event farming team should be more than good enough to deal with all 3 enemy types.

Final Chapter

If you chose to side with Asura, the best team to use is a Kinnara team. And if you chose to side with Taishakuten, the best teams to use are a Kinnara or an AOE multi-hit attacker team. The latter is basically the same as the Kinnara team but with Ryoumen.

Who you use for your 5th shiki is up to personal preference and whether a certain skill adjustment leaves test server. Possible choices are a 2nd Kinnara, Taishakuten, Tesso, Sasori or snow spirit Kiyohime, Suzuka or Ushi.

If SP Ao's skill adjustment comes to the rest of CN and TW/JP/GL when this part of the event is live, then forget those possible choices for your 5th shiki and use her instead with kyoukotsu + gashadokuro. If using SP Ao in the Kinnara team, you can also try swapping Sasori out for Kiyo and see which one gives you better damage.

11400; hjs

summary: what if the one you love is the one the universe is trying to keep you away from? (based off of black mirror)

warning: subtle angst, fem reader, you can interpret the ending. ofc the first thing vic writes when she’s back is a hjs fic. (~2.8K words) 

The quiet ambiance of the restaurant brought your nerves down to a calmer state. You couldn’t quite figure out a way for your nerves to not feel like they were going to blow as you walked around the restaurant. Your coach device sat in the palm of your hand as you looked around for who your potential partner was.

“Who am I supposed to be looking for?” You asked the device quietly, trying not to make yourself noticeable towards the people who were already sitting enjoying their meals.

“He’s wearing a silk, black shirt.” Your coach says before recalibrating and showing a video feed of the mysterious man sitting at a dimly lit booth.

Your eyes widened as you stared at the stranger’s face through the video feed, “Are you sure that’s him?”

You felt your breath hitch at the middle of your throat, what did you do to get matched with someone so attractive? Must’ve saved a third world country in you past life or something of the essence. 

Your coach laughed before sending a smiley emoticon on the screen. It continued to buzz as you stood there staring at the silver-haired boy who wore a simple silk shirt that complimented his fair skin. Were you underdressed? All you wore was a simple black dress that you found in your closet, although you couldn’t even remember where you had gotten it from. Maybe on a weekend you went shopping and completely blacked out.

“Perhaps you should go sit with him.” Your coach laughed, buzzing once again in you hand.

What if you weren’t enough for him? What if this was going to be a complete mess? What if-

“Hey, are you ______?” A strange, yet comforting voice asked as you were staring down at your device.

You completely snapped out of your thoughts, realizing that you probably looked like a complete idiot not moving from where you were standing for the past few minutes. You looked up at him and felt your heart burst out of your chest. He was so much better looking up close, maybe the simulation matched you with the wrong person. He was like an angel on Earth...  

“U-uh. uhm. Yes?” You stuttered, “Yeah. Oh my god, hi. I’m _____.”

Just when you thought he couldn’t get more perfect, he chuckled at your embarrassment. Seriously, what did you do to get matched with someone like him?

“I know, let’s go sit down. Our food should be out soon.”

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

After sitting with Jisung for another ten minutes, you felt as if your nerves completely vanished with how he went out of his way to help you feel more comfortable.

“Is this your first time?” Jisung asked, looking up at you with his almost puppy like eyes. You were so captivated in his eyes, they looked like they held the entire universe in them.

“Yeah,” You smiled, “I thought I should give it a try.” Your heart began to race once again when Jisung reflected the same smile.

“Same here,” Jisung laughed, “I thought why not try to find my one true love.”

The two of you laughed at the thought of finding the one through a stupid dating application. It was just something to do for fun in hopes of something possibly blossoming. Yet, maybe you had begun to believe in the concept because maybe you were already on top of the world with Jisung.

You were nervous enough to be on the date already. Your previous relationships made you insecure about yourself, never feeling like you were quite enough for anyone. Even with the dating coach trying to set you up with people who would be your perfect match, you couldn’t help but to wonder how this will all end up for the both of you.

“Do you think we should check our expiry dates now or after we eat?” Jisung asked, shaking his coach device by his head with another huge smile. “Why not now? What’s the harm in finding out?”

“You’re right.” And you felt your heart burst once again when Jisung’s eyes turned into complete crescent moons when he smiled so widely.

The both of you grabbed your devices and slid to the option of the locked expiry date. Seeing the terms and conditions flash before your eyes before looking at each other and nodding. 

‘4 hours.’

“Oh.. that’s all?” You mumbled almost in shock, “That can’t be right, does yours say the same?”

Jisung looks at his device and nods feeling the sadness wash over him, “only four hours together?”

“Maybe it’ll go up after we finish eating.” Jisung mumbled when the waiter set down their food, “I hope it’ll go up.”

Your faces lit up when the entrees were set on the table. Jisung’s coach had played it safe and ordered a burger for him, whereas your coach seemed to go for the adventurous side with ordering an entire platter of sushi.

“This looks amazing.” Jisung said in awe, almost like he hadn’t ever seen anything so delicious. You nodded at your entree as well, seemingly wondering if you had ever eaten anything that looked too perfect.

While the two of you began to eat, Jisung started using icebreaker questions to help you feel more comfortable with being on the date. Even if he was stuttering the questions because he could hear his heart beating out of his chest whenever you puffed your cheeks out to think of how to answer.

“Is your food good?” Jisung asked, looking at you stuffing your face. You almost choked on your food while smiling and nodding, “extremely.”

He looked down at his half eaten burger before looking back up at you with the biggest puppy eyes that he could pull off, “I can try?”

If Jisung hadn’t already made you feel like your heart was going to explode, that moment just took the cake for it.

“Of course.” You nodded before picking up your chopsticks to feed a piece to Jisung, causing the both of you to laugh loudly when half of it fell into his lap.

You both couldn’t stop laughing, your bellies rumbled with your hearty laughs bouncing all around the restaurant as on-lookers stared. Jisung could feel the tears rushing down his face while he picked up the other half that didn’t make it to his mouth. Not even a minute passed by before Jisung was choking on the other half he forgot was in his mouth, his hand frantically pounding on his chest as he swallowed the entire thing without chewing and you were dying at the sight.

“Oh god, are you okay?”

His life flashed before his eyes, but just seeing you laughing so hard made his heart soar.

“I.. I think so.” Jisung mumbled before taking a giant gulp of water before looking around the room, seeing that all eyes were on you. Eerily enough you felt it too, it also felt like no one was breathing either as well. Why did it feel so weird being the center of attention? He almost choked didn’t he? You both were just enjoying yourselves.

You looked back to Jisung who was wiping the tears from the brim of his eyes, wondering if he had felt weird about everyone’s stares too.

“Everything okay?”

You could feel your breath quicken before you shook your head, feeling anxious with everyone staring. You even noticed before that the waiter had begun to stare you down when Jisung asked if he could try a piece of your food. Was this normal? Did you truly forget what it was like to be on a date in public?

“Do you want to leave?” Jisung whispered, placing his hand on top of your shaking ones, “We can go now if you want.”

“Let’s go.” You finally said with your voice still trembling. It didn’t make any sense, why were you so scared? And what were you scared of to begin with?

You both got up from the table, the eyes of the patrons following your every move. How could you even describe how eerily terrifying this was to Jisung, who seemed like nothing was phasing him? Maybe he just had a better poker face than you did.

You didn’t have a set destination of where to go once you left the restaurant. Strangely enough, you couldn’t remember where you lived nor could Jisung. Plus you had agreed not to take the taxi that the coach device had booked, which was already waiting outside when you walked out of the doors. 

“All of this is strange.” Jisung said after plopping himself down on the dewy grass beside you. The lake was only a five minute walk for you, however neither of you even remembered a lake being there to begin with.

“Yeah.. now that I think about it I don’t really remember much about my life before this date.” You responded, staring at the lake’s calm ripples. As hard as you tried, you could barely remember what you did before you got to the restaurant.

“We have a few hours left together.”

The two of you looked at your coach device screens, the big countdown timer flashing brightly in your faces. Two hours. Did the time really go by that quickly?

“Do you think most expiry dates are always this short?” Neither of you had any experience to compare your dates to. You didn’t really know what to say after Jisung asked the question besides look at the lake. 

“I wished it was longer.” You mumbled, turning to face him. Jisung couldn’t help but to agree, there was so much more that he wanted to learn about you. Your favorite color, what you were like when you got sad or how you would shine whenever you were doing something you liked. Jisung wanted to know more, yet you both weren’t allowed to. Except why.. is that?

“Why is there an expiry date to begin with?” You felt yourself getting angry. Wondering why a stupid circular device that you don’t even remember where you bought was telling you when to stop talking to a potential lover. Wondering why this all was supposed to make sense. Wondering… how you even got to this point in your life.

“Maybe it’s beyond us, why don’t we just make the most of it?” Jisung chuckled, hoping to make light of the situation. Why waste time wondering about something that you couldn’t even change?

The both of you laid back on the grass side by side, Jisung’s hand finding his way into yours as you stared at the sky and beautiful stars.

“I think that’s a constellation.” Jisung said, pointing at the random shape of stars that made it look almost like a heart.

“What constellation looks like a messed up heart?” You laughed, trying to point with the hand that was holding Jisung’s before realizing.

“I think it’s called… Jisung’s feelings.”

You both giggled before seeing the shape shift apart. Neither of you could help thinking about the inevitable countdown.

“Maybe it was called _____’s feelings too because I feel the same way.”

“The same way?”

You sat up and looked down at Jisung who was still laying on the grass, “the ‘I really like you and want to get to know you more because you seem just my type’ way.”

“Thank god because I was starting to think I was the only one who felt that way here.” “Jisung I was holding your hand!” 

One hour. Your devices were buzzing like crazy when the final hour arrived. Jisung could have sworn that it was just flashing two hours. He didn’t want to go yet. There was just so much more that he wanted to do with you and you could almost one hundred percent agree on how he was feeling.

“What do you think happens when it’s finished?” You asked, staring back at the now clear sky. 

Jisung stared at the moon, almost like he was trying to ask it for answers but unfortunately it didn’t talk back to him. He tried to think hard but nothing made sense to him. Everything about this situation didn’t make sense to him. However the only thing that Jisung felt made sense was his urge to stay with you just a little bit longer.

“Maybe nothing.” Jisung hoped for that most of all. Maybe it was an optional time limit together, maybe you didn’t even have to go by it at all.

“I hope so… I don’t want this night to end yet.”

Thirty minutes. Your hearts were racing, neither of you could fight the thought of your time together lessening as you tried to distract yourselves. You found out Jisung’s common fun facts, while Jisung found out about your dreams and what you liked to do. Except both couldn’t answer what you planned to do after this date was over. How could you? All you two were thinking about was how to lengthen your times together.

“I don’t want this to end yet.” Jisung whispered, tightening his hold on your hand.

One minute. The two of you were sitting face to face as you tried to fight back the tears. Why were you crying? You both have only just met, right? How did it make sense, but why did it feel like you were losing a piece of yourselves at the thought of having to say goodbye?

“Jisung I don’t want to go yet.” You cried, feeling the hot tears run down your cheeks. Jisung cried with you, but cupped your cheeks and smiled as brightly as he could.

“Then we don’t.” Jisung wiped the tears off of your cheeks. He didn’t know what he meant when saying that, but all he wanted was for you to stop crying. He wanted to stop crying himself. The more the thought about this, the more it started to make less sense to him. He had only just met you, yet why did he feel such a strong connection together? Why was it like there was a thread that tied the both of you together that he didn’t want to disconnect yet?

Both devices begun to ring noisily, there was no way of ignoring the loud alarm that had set off once the countdown reached zero. Jisung looked back and forth between you and the device.

“We don’t have to go if we don’t want to.” Jisung affirmed, before taking his device and throwing it into the lake. You stared at Jisung in disbelief before doing the same, still hearing the blaring alarm in your ears.

“We don’t have to go if we don’t want to.” You repeated softly over and over again as you both stared at the devices sinking to the bottom of the lake.

“See.. nothing.” Jisung sighed in relief, before cupping your cheeks again. “May I?”

You nodded and smiled, “please.”

With that, Jisung pressed his lips against yours. Everything about this kiss felt so right, except it felt so familiar too. Your heart beating faster and faster as Jisung continued to kiss you. Your worlds feeling like they fell away, nothing was left except for the two of you. And that was all you could ever want except the universe had other opinions because right as Jisung was about to tell you to never leave, your world went dark.

Your eyes stung when you opened them, wondering what had just happened. You wondered if what you just went through was real or was it just a dream. You sat up slowly, rubbing your eyes noticing that they were puffier than usual and your cheeks felt tear stained. Maybe it was real?

“Babe?” A tired, familiar voice whispered as you were rubbing your eyes. You put your hands down and looked to the side of you. Jisung.

Did you dream about everything? Was everything just a fragment of your wild imagination?

“Jisung..” You said in almost disbelief. There wasn’t any easy way to help yourself wrap your head around what was even going on in your mind. It was like your brain was running a mile a minute while trying to figure out everything that had just happened. Was none of that real?

“It’s like six in the morning.. Let’s go back to sleep baby.” Jisung whined, pulling you back into his arms.

As you laid pressed against the warmth of his bare chest, you began to wonder about if what you just went through was real or not, but it didn’t matter to you in the end. Real or not, you got your happy ending and you wouldn’t change it for the world.

To her chagrin, Darcy wastes no time to come back with: “You think I’m hot?”

The car feels suddenly claustrophobic. “You’re infuriating, is what I think.”

“For the record,” he adds with an edge she can’t quite decipher, “I think you’re very attractive as well.”

The first time you have sex with a man you're supposed to hate, you could probably call it an accident. After the second, you might still argue that it's not something you plan to make a habit of. But Lizzie's probably running out of excuses, at this point.

And sure. Maybe she's okay with that. She's not great at relationships anyway, and this means nothing, right?

fic is DONE at 30 full pages and about 11400 words hahahaha i’ll post it on wednesday! 

"Are you saying that because you hated her or because she destroyed herself so thoroughly?" 

"Is there a difference, Gerard?" Gerard, she says, and that feels more like a physical blow than the news of his mother's passing. "Are you so blinded by her hold over you that you think there was something of her worth saving?" 

Yes, he almost says, but bites it back. The fear of her, of her hold over him, still there in death. Like no longer being bound by a physical presence, she can drape herself over him like a shroud. "You do not get to tell me what I can or cannot do, Gertrude." He tries to say this evenly, to not betray how fractured he is. How hollow he feels. 

Every little piece of him, barely able to hold itself together. 

"Yes, I do. It's for your own good." 

That's what they all say. That's what every single one of them say. 

Like he's not a grown ass adult who can make his own choices. 

Can you? a tiny voice in the back of his head says. Have any of these choices ever been yours?

Things already set in motion, his mother had said once. Fate, or something fucking like it. 

If he doesn't go, he plays into Gertrude's hand and follows her word. If he does go, he's still under his mother's thumb. 

Gerry can't breathe, because the knife that had tumbled free at last upon hearing of Mary's death is in his hand and he is ready to shove it back home in his breast. 

He leaves her office.

Looks like the bulls are charged up.

Going by the earnings season numbers, it seems like the bulls are ready to take out the 12000 mark and make a new high. Even the Auto sector is showing some sort of bottoming out, so this can take the markets up. Having said all that, I won’t be buying futures blindly. Gotta be cautious. 

If the government comes out with a spectacular personal income tax cut and some sort of tax structure for capital markets, then it will add fuel to the rally. Let’s see what happens in the coming day. I’ll only get worried if the markets make a U-turn and come back to levels below 11400. Until then I’ll be a bull.
