Nothing Sweeter Than His Peace
I threatened to post a Huaibao fic, didn't I? Well, my lovely beta returned it to me, so here we go: One canon-compliant oneshot.
Some nights are very long, and not for good reasons.
The night will keep your secrets when you lay your heart bare.
Re-reading TGCF is interesting. Someone has probably said this, but here I go anyway.
During the Banyue arc, I had a bit of an epiphany. Hua Cheng catches Xie Lian, keeps holding him while fighting Kemo, and tells him not to be worried.
In the flashback at the end of the second volume, Xie Lian catches a then unknown child, keeps holding him during the staged fight with Mu Qing, and tells him not to be worried.
Even the first time I thought ‘It’s dirty’ is an odd excuse for not setting Xie Lian down. I mean, they’ve travelled through the desert by funnel cloud, they’ve had a building collapse right near them, and had an intermezzo with the mud face. I’m sure Xie Lian’s clothes weren’t exactly pristine any more. But that isn’t what it was about: He refused to pass up the opportunity to recreate their first encounter with reversed roles. It was just too good to let go.
This is really, really well done.

I want the golden dice. I haven't tried Tactician and I don't have a guide. Yes, I know this is a bad idea and I'll need one eventually.
ANYWAY, meet Black Water, borrowed from Heaven Official's Blessing because Honour Mode needs a) pragmatic character and b) someone who can die and come back because I want to do this with one person.
In that vein, the first autosave is secured elsewhere. This is the only time I'm doing it, I just don't want to go back to character creation.
Let's see how this goes.
Avenge the Living, Heal the Dead
Once affairs in heaven are brought to a semblance of order, Xie Lian and Hua Cheng finally get to look for the ghost causing trouble in the Royal Capital.
ok now I need to subscribe to you on Ao3, who are you?
Haha, same as here pretty much: https://archiveofourown.org/users/Pre_Reform_Voice
Thanks a lot!
How wary should one be of a stranger offering passage on their ship?
The only point of contention I have is that if Jiggy ascended, they wouldn't need Ling Wen so very desperately.
WHY TF IS JIN GUANGYAO IN THE TGCF MANHUA
Yeah this is gonna be something I'll reblog any time it shows up in my feed because it's so wholesome. I love them.
happy valentines day! have some happy 3zun, based on a lovely moment from the Good Mornin'! sequence in Singin In The Rain :)
Avenge the Living, Heal the Dead
A ghost is being harassed and a mortal is taken. A god and his ghost king follow the trail.
Someone sneaks into the temple Shi Qingxuan and his beggars use as a shelter, acting like a sneak-thief. Of course, he won’t have that. Hua Cheng and Xie Lian on the other hand just want to spend the morning in bed. Possibly the whole day. An unannounced visitor spoils that plan.
