#Huānlè Jíjiè Dà

[sunny-days-and-warm-mournings]

Old King, you have always been made of sun smiles and teeth.

——————————————————————

(Sorry to hear you laugh like ocean rage and sing like thunderstorms. Sorry to smell the ash on your fur and dried dropped cherries roasted beneath your eyes. Sorry to hope to have your cherry cheeks between these cruel, pitiful hands that snaps away like your dimples were bonfires and sorry to dream by the zenith of the sun. Sorry to have felt the dreadful, murderous point when you let your grins outshine the stars (were we alive like them, once?), to find the outlines of world maps across your palms and the inklings of constellations on your skin beneath steel furs.)

(Sorry, old thing, to have expected you to change at all.)

(There's a lot I could say to you, a confession drowned in aches and prayers, and I hope you Good Mornings and cozy dreams beside the hearth.)

— What I can drag from what's left of my mind, scattered like the tailbones of rats and the words that murdered me in my sleep (June 28, 2023)

If time allows it, I'll post a little fic here and in my AO3 about my Festival Sun AU (Huānlè Jíjiè Dà). It can be a backstory or one of the catalysts for the AU, or a snippet from his daily life.

Either way, other than the snippets and lil fics, I'll also try to make a multimedia series here about him (both pics and writing sort of thing). If I have enough leeway that is! I've been sitting on this AU for a long af time and I think it's time to give light to the concept.

And aside for Huānlè, I'll also try to build up these two: Qíyuàn Zhízhèng Guān and Kǎishèng Dàshèng. They are also AUs and variants for my dear Wùkōng :).
