A bit of pure fluff, set in a fictional modern-day Da Liang. Hope everyone is taking care of themselves! <3

Summary:

“His breathing is uneven. Don’t let him lie on his back,” Consort Jing had said of Mei Changsu. Jingyan decides to personally carry out her recommendations.

---

Written because Jingyan deserves alllll the cuddles (even though he's the one doing the cuddling here oops).

Y'all, I'm almost done with my first rewatch of NiF and I'm having allll the feels.

Here's a ficlet I wrote as a canon-compliant missing scene between Jingyan and Mei Changsu, in which they talk things out.

Summary:

It’s Marquis Yan’s birthday party and both Mei Changsu and Jingyan are invited. There are no shocking revelations, though; just the beginnings of a resolution.

If it seems like I'm writing a lot of NiF, it's because 1) I'm kinda obsessed with it and 2) I'm trying really hard to finish trope_bingo which is now in its amnesty period (and sadly, it's not going super well but more on that in another post). This is for the trope_bingo square 'Fix-It'

Summary: Jingyan becomes suspicious about the sudden lack of hazelnut treats from his mother and puts two and two together. But letting himself consider the possibility that Mei Changsu and Xiao Shu are one and the same brings its own share of heartbreak.

So basically I've disappeared because I was busy writing like a fiend. I had this idea for a NiF Pacific Rim AU and it wouldn't leave me alone (I adore Pacific Rim AUs, fyi). Anyway, it's finally done and I just posted the first part today (the prequel).

I'm also counting this for trope_bingo's Against All Odds square.

Summary:

Jingyan and Lin Shu were Jaeger pilots, two of the most promising ones to have graduated from the Academy. But victories were never guaranteed against enemies like the Kaiju.

I've just realized that I've been terribly remiss in pimping out some a couple of art and fic treats that I've gotten over the last couple of weeks. I'M SO SORRY. Anyway, without further ado:

ART
Illustrations of scenes from Chrysanthemum Flowers and Jade Daggers by mekare, my WIPbigbang art partner.
These illustrations are PERFECT. Mekare really captured the atmosphere of the scenes and I absolutely love them. Please go check them out and show them some love.

A Tumblr picspam edit for Chrysanthemum Flowers and Jade Daggers by kickassfu 
This is SO PRETTY. I love the choice of pics and the color palette and I'm just *flails*

FIC
The Purple Cup by ConvenientAlias
NiF, MCS|Lin Shu/Jingyan, truth serum. I got this in the Writing Rainbow: Purple exchange and I loooovvveeee it. It's got a scheming Prince Yu, a smart Jingyan, love confessions! And a little knife, of course, because it's NiF.

Wild Wings and Hearts by draconicsockpuppet
Merlin, Gwaine/Merlin, accidental (dragon) baby acquisition. Oh, man. What a treat this one was! Gwaine/Merlin is one of my favorite rarepairs and combined with my other love (dragons), this was perfect. Super fun to read and made me want to go back and rewatch the show (or at least, the part of the show where Gwaine and Merlin meet).

Thousands of years ago, a collaborative team from Haixing and Dixing created mindships from Dixing technology and Haixing magic. Zhao Yunlan is a new graduate of the Haixing Air and Space Program and he’s not expecting to get picked to be a third, but he does. By Shen Wei and Ye Zun, the pair of Dixingren who had become the first mindship.

I meant to post this awhile ago because I'd put it together, oh gosh, back in June and I could have sworn that I did but I can't find it on my own journal so here it is: a list of all the Dixing powers we see in Guardian, and some non-Dixing powers as well. I've listed reference eps for the ones I came across during rewatches but it's incomplete so if anyone wants to contribute some ep numbers, please do and I will update this!

No Sunday Six today because instead, I wrote a one-shot ficlet. :D I was feeling the itch to write something light and fun, kinda silly and crack-y, and none of my active WIPs was satisfying that itch. So: one-shot it was. This features Zhao Yunlan, Ye Zun, and Shen Wei snarking and fighting the good fight together. Against vampires!

Anyway, here it is:

In which Zhao Yunlan (vampire hunter) reluctantly teams up with Ye Zun (vampire) to stage a rescue.

Wow, I knew I'd kinda gone missing on DW but I didn't realize it's been a whole month. Oops? (Anyone who knows me from tumblr knows that I occasionally will drop off the map for awhile and then come back but to all the rest, uh, yeah, that's a thing for me.) So....part of the reason I disappeared is that I got sucked in Nirvana in Fire - binged the show, started reading the novel, joined the DW community, considered going back onto tumblr to reblog pretty gifs, started plotting out fic, started writing fic. Yeah....

Anyway, onto the Sunday Six! So, the reason I haven't been posting these snippets is because I've been almost exclusively writing my fic for wipbigbang, and it's gotten to the point that I'm worried about either spoiling it too much or that the snippets I can post are kinda boring on their own, because they're from scenes that serve as more worldbuilding and plot connecting than anything really exciting. (Also I'm not entirely sure I can post snippets from this fic before the bang ends? Shhh, nobody tell the mods.)

So instead, here are 6 7 lines from a MCS/Jingyan NiF fic that may or may not ever get fully written. 

---

A realization leaves him shaken to his core: Jingyan’s changed. He’s not the Jingyan that Lin Shu had known all those years ago, the one who was bright in soul and pure of heart, who made a promise to find an impossible pearl for a friend. He hasn’t been that Jingyan in probably the entire time that Mei Changsu has known him. But he hadn't seen that. He’d looked at Jingyan and seen only his old best friend, who he would tease and pull into pranks, who would go along with anything and everything he’d suggested with a good-natured huff and a roll of his eyes, who’d always say “only because it’s you, xiao-Shu.”

He can’t bring himself to look at Jingyan as Meng-dage comes to help support him down the steps of the Palace. He doesn’t want to see what Jingyan thinks of him now—of Mei Changsu, of Lin Shu. He hadn’t ever wanted Jingyan to find out, but especially not in this way. He thinks that he might just shatter to pieces if Jingyan hates him, and he must, because his childhood friend has become the very thing that he hates: someone who manipulates and uses people for their own purpose.
