TRAITOR (rated E)

Chapter 1/2: Outrageous Imagining Can Be Too Much

AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/57970756

AU scene from Episode 19.

It’s been a week since the confrontation between Xiao Lan Hua and Dongfang Qingcang that sent them into a stalemate. She can’t give up the fairy realm for him, and he can’t give the hatred of the Moon Tribe and the promise to his father and his people for her.

However, Xiao Lan Hua feels like a traitor, at least as far as dreams go. Plagued by erotic dreams about the Moon Supreme that leave her ungratified, she finally decides to give in to the desire in order to put an end to those fantasies once and for all. Hopefully, Da Mutou will never ever find about it…

Haha:) Oh, this topic ... Interesting Thoughts!

I think books would have inlaid with various precious stones and intertwined with golden floral ornaments and would have hard to tell what this book is about from the cover. (There is nothing for the courtiers to know what kind of reading Moon Lord Supreme reads)

Also, I just absolutely love the design of the books that we see in the drama, so I'm glad to have the opportunity to try to portray it.

I wrote a very short one-shot inspired by a conversation on Discord, together with my previous post about how often we see Dongfang Qingcang reading on screen. It's only 500-odd words but the idea came to me while I was trying to write something else, and I couldn't stop smiling at it, and it's no use fighting those. Enjoy!

I really wish the books I describe in this actually existed. And I wonder if the fanbinding community could imagine what they'd look like?

✧Not My Art!✧

This was all drawn by @clj-art-blog for my "lay your wager (down to sleep)" series and I honestly can't stop fawning over them? They're so pretty? And feels so visceral? The emotions in them all just sweep me away, seriously the body language is something else ;^; Thank you so much for putting so much love into drawing something inspired by my writing this is insanely cool????

Anyway, she has very kindly given me permission to post her pictures so I can force other people to also look at them and admire them 人´∀｀)

LBFAD Fic: What's Past is Prologue

Title: What's Past is Prologue Rating: General Audiences Additional Tags: Shippy Gen, Introspective, Character Study, Pre-Canon, Post-Canon, Oneshot Relationship: Dongfang Qingcang/Xiao Lanhua Summary: Dongfang Qingcang dreams, then and now.

(AKA Dongfang Qingcang of the past meets a present day version of himself.)

“YOU ARE NOT ME,” he spoke, his voice booming, as if amplified by magic, and blue flames burst out around his body, enveloping him as he stepped into a defensive stance. He was ready to fight this farce of himself; who spoke of peace, who spoke of love, who spoke as if he had accomplished impossible things, and who even spoke as if he had a heart.

His other self was stone faced, not afraid, and he sighed. “I am you. You are just not yet the person you are meant to be.”

READ ON AO3

For @clj-fanweek day one (themes: awakenings, pre-canon).

Thank you so much for reading. This is my first fic for the series.

Please check out this stunning art by @clj-art-blog featuring our two versions of DFQC meeting. 😍

WIP Wednesday - River of Stardust

Have a 950-word snippet from my upcoming Chapter 10 of River of Stardust.

This scene is a fix-it moment between Xunfeng and Dongfang Qingcang, where Dongfang Qingcang finally teaches Xunfeng Black Slash.

It's been edited to censor certain spoilers, and also so it could also stand-alone for those who haven't read the fic from the beginning. If you like this snippet, you might like my fic! River of Stardust is a canon post-drama gap-filler and fix-it story. Check out the main tumblr post for the story here (and give @clj-art-blog all the love for her amazing art).

Without further ado, the snippet:

***

“Better. Remember to stay grounded.” Dongfang Qingcang said to Xunfeng, as he walked from behind him. He tapped the back of his younger brother’s knee with the flat of his blade as he passed, nonverbally reminding him to keep his knees loose. 

With the Moon Supreme having finished whatever lengthy political one-on-one discussion he had been having with an officiant, Dongfang Qingcang had offered to finally, unexpectedly, teach Xunfeng Black Slash. (“Better late than never,” Dongfang Qingcang had said at Xunfeng’s shocked reaction. “31,000 years after I stopped asking is fairly close to never.” Xunfeng couldn’t resist quipping back.)

They were both in full war armor regalia, their blades glinting with the starlight surrounding them. Xunfeng had practiced the move several times already after watching his brother demonstrate, getting closer and closer to perfecting its nuances.

“It’s the diversion of an exerted force, back to its target,” Dongfang Qingcang coached, “You are taking the cultivation in your opponent’s strike and redirecting it back to them. It looks like an offensive maneuver but it’s defensive, and only possible when you are attacked first. When perfected, Black Slash is effortless. Understood?”

Xunfeng nodded. 

Without preamble Dongfang Qingcang suddenly lashed out, not with his blade, but with his fist. Centuries of training under a once ruthless Moon Supreme taught him to never be caught off guard however, and Xunfeng tapped into the core of his cultivation, feeling it ground him as his brother had instructed previously, and for a moment it was as if the world moved in slow motion. Rather than stiffen for impact against Dongfang Qingcang’s incoming blow, Xunfeng shifted with it, as if dodging. He could see the aura of Dongfang Qingcang’s cultivation like an outline around his fist, and rather than blocking it, he welcomed it, opening a part of his cultivation up like a channel, siphoning the direction of the energy. 

This all happened in mere seconds. Xunfeng moved with the hit, and then redirected its energy flow to his blade as he brought it up, slashing the air between them.

Dongfang Qingcang grunted on impact as he fell to the ground.

Xunfeng’s eyes widened. He did it. He really did it. Even with his brother having said so, it still felt surprising in its ease, with hardly any exertion of his own power.

Dongfang Qingcang looked up at him from the ground, rubbing his shoulder where the energy of his own punch had been redirected. “So that’s what it feels like.” His expression was wry, but not displeased.

“I think you could’ve hit harder,” Xunfeng said, walking toward him smugly. 

Dongfang Qingcang ignored the remark. “Your form has improved,” he replied instead, the closest to a compliment Xunfeng had ever received from him. When Xunfeng offered him his hand, Dongfang Qingcang looked at it for a beat, and smirked. He grasped it, allowing his younger brother to pull him up. Xunfeng smiled at him a little. “And so has your mood,” Dongfang Qingcang continued. “Did something happen?”

Xunfeng thought about what Danyin said to him, and how such lovely, honeyed words from her lips was enough to sustain a man for another thousand years. Xunfeng’s smile widened just thinking of it.

“I learned Black Slash from you, at last,” Xunfeng said evasively, uncharacteristic grin still evident, “If that’s not cause for celebration, what is?”

Dongfang Qingcang gave him a closed-mouth smile back, far less of the grimace it used to be back when he was learning how to wield his emotions. 

“I understand why this is so powerful now,” Xunfeng continued, “Regardless of the size or power of your foe, it’ll always be a blow capable of flooring them, since it’s a transfer of their own energy.”

“Correct,” Dongfang Qingcang confirmed.

Xunfeng went on, “I also see why you avoided teaching me for so long. Black Slash requires a clear mind due to the invitation of someone else’s energy into your own, as part of the diversion process. If you are not of sound mind, inviting someone else’s energy alongside yours could have devastating consequences– and when I was a child, I was far from level-headed or clear-minded.”

“You’ve always been the more sensitive of the two of us,” Dongfang Qingcang acquiesced, “Even before my emotions were stripped.”

Xunfeng’s smile slipped from his features. He lowered his head in deference. “I am… sorry, brother, for not considering your situation sooner.” He closed his eyes. “The pain you had to endure for hellfire, and for Cangyan Sea, is unimaginable.”  

“You would have done the same, had you been in my place.”

Xunfeng looked up at that.

Dongfang Qingcang met his gaze evenly.

In the silence, an exchange of new understanding passed between them. They were brothers, as distinct as night and day in many ways, but they were both sons of the crown their father left them, and with it came the weight of an entire people which they would not hesitate to die for.

Had it been Xunfeng, and not Dongfang Qingcang who had the the potential for hellfire, his father would have done the same to him, and Dongfang Qingcang held no doubt that his brother would have bore the same necessary tortures, and successfully. Fate flipped a coin, and it simply landed on Dongfang Qingcang. That was the only difference.

“Brother,” Xunfeng said, and somehow it was both an acknowledgement and a thank you.

“Brother.” Dongfang Qingcang returned with a small smile.

Xunfeng swallowed, breathing in deep as if to compose himself.

“Now,” Dongfang Qingcang started anew, “let’s see if you can do Black Slash again. Or was it a fluke?”

Xunfeng smirked, and got into formation.

Last Song: Dance, Kid, Dance by Shinedown is what I'm actively listening to while working on this meme

Last Book: Well, if the question is "last book I finished" then the answer is Three Bags Full by Leonie Swann which was a FANTASTIC cozy murder mystery written from the point of view of a flock of sheep, I can't recommend it enough! (however if the question is "last book I actually picked up and read a bit from" then, uh, the more embarrassing answer is Complot d’animaux: Caniche de malheur. I will not be taking comments at this time...)

Last Movie: I finally watched The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare! If you want an excuse to turn your brain off for two hours, watch some well choreographed fight scenes, and see a bunch of Nazis get the everloving shit kickd out of them with great prejudice then it's the film for you!

Last TV Show: I'm on the last season of Derry Girls

Sweet/Spicy/Savory: For a Nice Lil Snack? Definitely sweet.

Relationship Status: Dating! I have a lovely girlfriend (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

Looking Forward To: Ohh, a lot actually. Some folks at work are having a game night tomorrow, I'll be seeing a friend on Saturday, and hopefully I'll go to the theatre on Sunday! And I'm getting the next volume of The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn't A Guy At All on Monday; my brother and I read the first book together and are stoked for book two.
