I just read A Timely Cure and I sincerely adore it with all my heart, holy god. You have the BEST Mu Qingfang POV I've ever seen (I'm so sorry to all my Liufang faves but somehow your wildly hilarious Qijiu fic with outsider POV Mu Qingfang won it). Honestly, Shen Qingqiu's characterization was also godly, but in general your writing was just. Exquisite. I laughed so much. You also did outsider POV *so well*. I'm really shocked that fic isn't more popular.
(same anon) Also, I saw your About Me and I would really love to see more Qijiu from you, whatever idea you might have. In fact, I'm curious - do you have old Qijiu fic ideas or drafts that you'd like to talk about?
Hi hello thank you so much!! V glad that you liked the fic enough to come track me down over here and tell me! That fic was originally in Shen Jiu's pov, but he kept dragging the mood way down (as he does! give him one (1) fact and he will happily catastrophize about it). I'd never really written MQF before and it was so fun to discover how much of a delight he was.
I don't reeeeaaaally have any fic ideas or drafts left that aren't like,,, old enough to be so extremely embarrassing. Thank you for asking though! I appreciate it.

Shen Qingqiu: Some people are so beautiful that they are irresistible to both men and women... it's not gay to be attracted to them. There is literally nothing else you can do.
Xie Lian: You are so right. Or if you happen to have to kiss them to exchange spiritual energy, it doesn't mean you have feelings for one another.
Wei Wuxian: True. Also sometimes guy friends just need to get naked together and touch one another and make each other climax. Just normal friend stuff.
Shen Qingqiu: ....
Xie Lian: ....
Shen Qingqiu: ....exactly. You guys get it.

I think the fact that Binghe has curly hair in the Fanart design of him is PEAK. For one, the ideal standard of beauty that you’d expect out of a harem protagonist is silky straight hair!
It’s the beauty ideal in China. I have naturally curly hair inherited from my mother, and instead of being taught how to bring out my curls at the hairdresser, my hair is “frizzy,” and I get pushed into getting a straight perm.
My mom, likewise, has always hated her curly hair and was dismayed (dismayed!) when my hormones caused my hair texture to change from straight to her curls.
For two, the idea of Shen Qingqiu adoring it would fix me, I’m sure.
Your insecurity is something he adores about you. He makes poetry likening it to sheep’s wool, he runs his hands through it and helps you maintain it. Something most people consider a flaw, and that doesn’t even occur to him.
It’s so radical. It comes naturally to him!
No wonder Binghe is insane about that old man.

Tianlang-jun: Master Shen, can I offer you something? Water? Tea? My nephew's hand in marriage?
Shen Qingqiu: what?
Tianlang-jun: Perhaps wine? Some snacks? My sons hand in marriage?
Shen Qingqiu: I-
Tianlang-jun: Tanghulu? Congee? My hand in marriage?

Mxtx love interests and their relationships with captivity are fascinating and all, but I’d rather just focus on how funny Hua Cheng’s is in particular.
We have Luo Binghe‘s creepy replica bamboo hut and the tragic horror of watching him succumb to his worst impulses and try destroying the world to trap Shen Qingqiu by his side.
We have Lan Wangji warring internally with himself for years over his smothering need to hide Wei Wuxian from the world and save him from himself.
And then there’s Hua Cheng
Professional Gege Catch and Release Wildlife Expert Hua Cheng.
This man is a gege rehabilitation facilitator who does what he loves and loves what he does.
He tags his gege with a gps tracker so he can study his migration patterns. He humanely traps and relocates his gege whenever he’s strayed into danger.
If you hit a gege with your car, all you need to do is call Hua Cheng and he’ll be there with an animal control slip leash, a GoPro to promote his TikTok awareness campaign for gege welfare and conservation to the masses, and Yin Yu is on the phone preparing the treatment center for a new arrival.
He’s one of those guys who lovingly cares for a feral cat colony in his backyard, providing handmade housing with heating and regular check ups.
He’s insane don’t get me wrong. But his crippling self doubt and unbreakable compulsion to provide merged in such a weird way, it comes off a little more wildlife rescue than I think is intended.
