"I'm a leaf on the wind...

“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.

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.

My Nirvana in Fire Pacific Rim AU/Crossover thingy! (Crossover because I kept the same Kaiju and mention a couple of the Jaeger teams from the movie, though not the main one.) Writing this fic ate up almost every free minute of my day for about a week and it turned out way longer than I had anticipated (why I thought any Pacific Rim AU would be short I have no idea, I think I was just in denial). Anyway, enjoy! This was also written to fill one of my trope_bingo squares but I won't say which one here because it's kinda spoiler-y.

Summary:

The odds were stacked against them: the Pan Pacific Defense Corps was pulling their funding, the Kaiju were getting stronger and smarter, Jaegers were failing, and Jaeger pilots were dying. Then one day, a spectre from the past returned with a new alliance and a final gambit. There was hope again.

My first Nirvana in Fire fic! Meep! I am not ready to tackle the angst of canon-compliant fics yet, so it's a modern day AU (set in a fictional modern day Da Liang) that's full of fluff, featuring one of my favorite tropes: fake/pretend relationship.

Summary: Dixing is one of the last States standing against Emperor Zhao Xinci’s attempt to conquer and unite all the lands. The Crown Prince, Zhao Yunlan, has been fighting at the front lines of the war against Dixing for years when his mother gifts him with a concubine. Shen Wei is beautiful and magnetic and Zhao Yunlan falls in love with him instantly. But Shen Wei isn’t just a concubine; he’s a Dixing spy who’s being embedded in Zhao Yunlan’s household to gather intel and potentially assassinate the prince. He doesn’t expect to fall in love.

Part 2 of Knockin' on Hell's Door is up! Featuring the Ghost King being perplexed by ZYL.

Since I'm posting snippets of these on Sundays, I figured I'd go ahead and put up my working summaries for them. They're both still untitled because I have a really hard time with titles and usually leave those for the end.

Future fix-it fic: After the defeat of Ye Zun, Shen Wei enters the cycle of reincarnation while Zhao Yunlan remains anchored to the Guardian Lamp as its eternally burning wick. Peace reigns as he watches over all of Haixing for hundreds of years. But that peace is shattered one day by the arrival of spaceships carrying the descendants of the ancestors of the Dixingren and Yashou who had settled on Haixing thousands of years ago. These descendants aren’t looking to settle on the planet now, though; they’re here to conquer it.

But Shen Wei isn’t just a concubine; he’s a Dixing operative who’s being embedded in Zhao Yunlan’s household to gather intel and potentially assassinate the prince.

-------

This is a repost of a fic I started writing almost a year and a half ago and then kinda sorta left to languish (I'm sorry!). But in honor of Avengers: Age of Ultron, I've decided to revive it and try to finish it. The first three parts are the original parts (with just a few tiny grammatical fixes like with spacing and spelling) so the new stuff will begin with Chapter 4. New chapters will be posted only to AO3 because I know myself well enough to know that I'll never be able to keep up with alerting people to new chapters here and on Tumblr too.
