Many thanks to @omgpurplefattie! Reading your wip was *chef's kiss* I love horsegirl dfs. I was going to wait for WIP Wednesday but thank you giving me the opportunity to post earlier (and also for being the reason I started posting on ao3 again, your reblog tag about dfs and fdb wearing llh's zanzi really stuck with me). This is from my post-canon amnesia difang au:
“Niang!” A young man - practically still a boy, his high ponytail waving behind him - practically crashes through the front gate. “I’m home! I still haven’t-”
Nausea swarms his head as he looks at him. When he had woken up on the banks of that river he hadn’t felt that anything was missing. The habits that were performed jerkily as he realised he didn’t know what he was doing were ignored. But the sight of this young man now - this boy, in his light blue robes with golden detailing, with a matching set of huwan and a belt in a darker blue - carves too deeply inside him, shining a light on a deep, yawning maw of a cavity he didn’t know was there. The feeling only intensifies as the boy stops dead in his tracks, staring at him. His skin is several shades too pale to be healthy, the bones in his face too sharp even with the obvious baby fat still lingering, his eyes too bright in the way of a chronic insomniac. He knows the glint of it intimately; he’s already seen it too often in his own eyes.
His voice is too high when he speaks, wavering and cracking right down the middle. “Lao-Di?”
He stares at him more. Everything buzzes; he can hear every bird for three li, every person moving in the house, every vein pulsing blood in his body, and yet the only noise he can seem to focus on is the rabbit-fast beating of this boy’s heart. He can’t move as he stumbles towards him. The sword shards poke at him mercilessly as this boy falls to his knees beside him. “Lao-Di? Lao-Di?! What’s wrong, answer me!”
He thrusts his palm into his face. He hadn’t even thought about putting internal energy into it, though the angry noise from Master He says that she absolutely thought he had. This confusing boy just catches his wrist and grips him like a lifeline. The terrified look on his face transforms into horror once he gets a good look at his palm.
“Fang Duobing?” He asks roughly.

I am still doing my analysis/character study writeups on Trahearne (and Mordy!), I'm just having some trouble accurately articulating some of my thoughts... But I'm sitting here re-reading a section I wrote about Trahearne's life mostly being one of having no agency, and how the Commander is one of the few if not the only person that ever seemed to actually give him a choice regarding a major direction of his life, even if it wasn't really a choice he could refuse, and how that's likely why he valued the Commander so closely to himself.
And i'm just. hngh.

Hello again,
I apologise for my once again unintended hiatus! Several personal life issues are - pardon my French - kicking my entire ass. I probably will remain unposting for the next few weeks as I work on this project in a more structured way so that finishing it is actually feasible and realistic for me to do; I've made the executive decision to write the entirety of the rest of my posts for NaNoWriMo, and hope to return at the end of November or beginning of December with posts at least once a week. See yall then :]
