WIP Wednesday: MDZS Big Bang 2

@mdzsbigbang

Rumors are such nasty things, aren't they?

(But what faster way to lose the unapproachable mysticism than being a fool who needs someone to care?)

“Hey did you hear? A-Hua says her neighbor told her mom that his brother had seen walking corpses on your property! Are you well? Have you angered the Yiling Laozu?”

“Ah, that. Ahaha… I may have asked the Patriarch for a favor.”

“Heavens guard you, what did you do?! How are you alive? Oh, I shouldn’t be associating with you…”

“Wha— Hey, it’s nothing like that! He just helped me draw water from the well, and I gave him porridge!”

“What the fuck, and he just… said yes? To that awful deal?”

“I don’t think he eats well. And he seemed to be having fun anyway.”

 “And you… Weren’t you afraid? We all have heard the rumors of the Patriarch and the power he wielded… I heard he ate a man’s heart straight from his chest and then ordered his ghost to slaughter his whole town…”

 “Do you reckon that’s true? Not saying his evil ways don’t scare the shit out of me, but well… I did see him trip on his own two feet and then lay there in the middle of the road.”

 “Was he… dead…?”

 “No, fell asleep.”

 “Huh.”

 “Yeah.”

 “…Hey, do you think he’d like some rice cakes? My wife made extra, and we were going to give them away anyway, and we do need to get our roof fixed…”

 (In his demonic cave, the fearsome Yiling Patriarch sneezed.)

Fopi time. Here's my build of @redstarforge's character Fopi, the Toa Kartur of Stone. I've been working on & off on the rest of the team too (some wips in the last slide), but this is the only one I'm satisfied with yet. I don't plan on including these fellas in any stories, since they're not my characters, but I like to imagine they still exist in the world of TfTV. Since I've already got a Toa team who were active & on clean-up duty in Metru Nui after the matoran civil war (who I haven't shared anywhere yet), the one change I did make to my headcanon for the Kartur is that they're actually a relatively new Toa team who didn't transform from Matoran until shortly after the exodus onto Spherus Magna, serving as protectors to one of the many new Matoran settlements on the planet. Credit for the character of course goes to Red Star Games, as well as Oomatu/Perp3tual, and Leoxander, who plays the character. #bionicle #bioniclemoc #bioniclemocs #lego #legomoc #legomocs #toa #toaofstone #fopi #redstargames #rsg #sotc https://www.instagram.com/p/CoinPKvJ6JC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Fo ao3 wrapped - which works of yours have you re-read the most?

you know, this is a tough question. I wish there was a way to check this easily because as it is, I'm stuck between a couple of fics. I guess I'll have no choice but to name them all and say why I think this might be the one. :D

ready, set, game on is a definite contender. I've re-read RSG in sections or in its entirety more times than I can count, but usually only because I need to fact-check something for a story in the universe and then just. forget to stop reading, ahem.

run (back to you) is my first WoH fic and actually one I go back to read sometimes for pleasure. I don't know, I guess I'm happy with how it turned out.

obscura is the first ever fic I wrote for an event in Guardian, and I remember re-reading it constantly to make sure I was happy with it. I do find myself going back to read it sometimes for pleasure as well. it's the first ever "in-depth" canon fix-it I did, and if this ends up being the only fix-it of the ending that I post...I'm happy with the direction I ended up taking.

leitmotif is a Beyond Evil WIP that I've re-read more times than I can count, usually because I'm trying to pick up where I left off, but sometimes I will admit I get caught up in the story and you know. forget why I actually opened the document. 😆

(tired of feeling lost) is a (hopefully) upcoming Guardian fic that I also find myself going back to now and again and re-reading to see if I can pick it up where I left it off. and sure, I can usually tack on a few words before the muse goes "guess you don't need me, bye~" and leaves me scrambling, but it's been uh...longer than I care to admit since I started it. but I'll surely be able to finish it one day, right? <.<

I think those are the biggest contenders, though. I have a few more WIPs that I know I go back to on occasion, usually to try and finish them, not really to read them, you know? 😂

It’s a WIP but I’m making a playlist of what hypergunk sounds like (this being a genre of music from space that will be featured in RSG)

WIP Wednesday: MDZS Big Bang

Currently sitting at 28k, I bring to you: Another Sangxian/Xiansang story ft. Yiling denizens discover the Patriarch isn't Evil Incarnate, Actually

@mdzsbigbang

“Want me to take a look?” Wei Wuxian pointed at himself.

Li Zihan stared at him blankly.

“I’m not an expert but I’ve done my fair share of repairing leaks and fixing roofs. I’m sure I could figure it out.”

Li Zihan blinked. “We wouldn’t dare presume… Yiling Laozu you don’t have to—!”

Wei Wuxian grinned and slung an arm around Li Zihan’s shoulders. “It’s alright, alright, I’m the one offering after all. Just next time you harvest, consider selling to me, how about that? I’m a good customer!”

“I— um, oh well, I guess? Oh, wait, don’t walk so fast, Yiling Laozu, sir!”

“So stuffy! You can just call me Wei Wuxian!”

“I wouldn’t dare!”

Wei Wuxian threw back his head and laughed, the hollow sound reminiscent of dark caverns and old blood.

Somehow, with a warm, thin arm around his shoulders, Li Zihan was not scared.

He thought it sounded lonely.

WIP WEDNESDAY

"I would like to know," Nie Huaisang said calmly. "Why does my sect think I am marrying you two?” Wei Wuxian gave him a long searching look before he shrugged. “Misunderstandings were had.” “Misunderstandings you started.” “I’m not the one who fell asleep in the wrong bed!” Wei Wuxian shot back and then had to do a double take at the hints of a blush on Nie Huaisang’s face. “You could have said the truth! Hanguang-Jun, where were you while your husband got himself into a scandal!” Lan Wangji took another sip of his tea, undisturbed. “I had his back.” “You left me to fend for myself!” Wei Wuxian accused, a wide grin tearing at his lips. “I was at your back. I was holding you. Therefore, I had your back.” Lan Wangji nodded as if it made perfect sense even as his partner doubled down in laughter, mock-outrage forgotten.

Wanted to share something LWJ related for his bday, but all I could find was Mildly ConcerningTM or is not polished so have OT3 content.

From What Lies Ahead my Lan Wangji/ Nie Huaisang/ Wei Wuxian post canon fic!

[rainingskyguy]

Another Poll???? Apparently

So much things have been happening. and I recently finished with my last zine responsibilities.

Disclaimer this doesn't mean it will get POSTED next, because I'm quirky like that

[rainingskyguy]

Draft 2 of the torture nhs&wwx fic is doooone at 8k

No set posting date because posting is tiring and I have some more deadlines to meet and i have to let the draft rest for the 3rd editing, BUT have a snippet

The Wen man pulls Wei Wuxian’s — bruised, bloodied— hands towards a metal ring stuck on the ground in front of Nie Huaisang, and begins tying him to it, as you do. Nie Huaisang stares, and he stares, and dread makes itself home in his chest. “Let’s play a little game, Wei-xiong, Nie-xiong.”

[rainingskyguy]

MDZS wip

I still don't have a title, I just call it the many deaths of wwx au

Currently sitting at 10k, I may end up splitting it into chapters HAHA

Anyway

Wei Wuxian is found a year later, taken as a ward by Jiang Fengmian. He grows up with a sister that loves him. A brother he would do anything for. He grows up with a mentor who is warm, and whose love burns with its sweet selfishness.

He grows up with a lady of the house that hates him with more ferocity than she loves her son.

But little Wei Wuxian still remembers the feel of love, and even though he doesn’t yet understand what he’s done wrong, he smiles and laughs and offers himself to his martial siblings with everything he’s got.

“I will protect you from all dogs!” Jiang Cheng declares, with a child’s forgiveness.

“I will follow your leadership,” Wei Wuxian returns with a bow that’s almost a hug.

And Jiang Yanli peels them lotus pods, wipes their tears with tender hands, soothes them with a maturity beyond her years, and in a broken home, the children teach each other how to love.

Second place winner wip:

Cage of the Dog chapter 23

current wc: 360 x)

Hanajima let him fumble, staring at him, unblinkingly. When he finally stopped, she nodded to herself, folding her hands on the table. “You are taking care of him.” Shigure’s smile grew strained. What was that supposed to mean? “He is a grown man, Hanajima-san. He doesn’t need anyone taking care of him. Why don’t we go look for Tohru-kun, hm? How about it?”

[rainingskyguy]

How about number 2 then for a snippet?

Sure!

2. The many deaths of wwx

His next death comes in soul-deep hatred, and a bottomless cliff.

Wei Wuxian is held over the abyss, broken in body, shattered in soul, but the blood he laughs is boiling. He has died many deaths, but this one, although permanent, does not scare him.

Because he will rise. With a curse upon his lips, he lets all the festering anger of a dead child and an angry man pour out as he’s released, and he knows that even after he dies, he will forever live in Wen Chao’s darkest nightmares.

He doesn’t yet know his body will not yet break, that the Burial Mounds will welcome their future ruler with the softness of corpse flesh, and brittle bones.

Wei Wuxian dies in the Burial Mounds and yet, somehow, he lives.

He dies, and the untouched resentment earns a master.

Wei Wuxian dies, and the Yiling Patriarch lives.

[rainingskyguy]

I don't think we'll get an August update xD

Somehow I'm tremendously busy HAHA

But hopefully soon I'll get more time to write and the energy to post

[rainingskyguy]

The timeloop au won LMAO

have a no-context wip

How’s this? A meaningful friendship forms between these three after their shared suffering under their shizun and maybe some more missions, and even after Binghe’s bloodline is revealed, they decide to stick by his side. Even better, Ming Fan and Binghe already share past bad blood, surely their unlikely comradery-turned-rivalry-turned-reluctant-friendship would add flavor to this stupid stallion novel!

[…It is an interesting subplot. The Endless Abyss quest is a permanent fixture, but the System approves ‘Team Seven’ subplot.]

Did you just make a Naruto reference?

[Initiating protocol ‘For legal reasons, this is a joke’.]

Shen Qingqiu had not forgotten the things this System was putting him through, or the things it had said. But it sure had its moments.

Considering writing svsss fic....

Torn between exploring the potential trauma of all the BS (fond) sqq went through or the system is the real evil timeloop au

[rainingskyguy]

Working on chapter 19 of Cage of the Dog! First draft has been finished, working out some kinks, fleshing out some scenes... Hopefully I should be able to post it on friday

We'll see

text version under the cut!

“I’m trying, you bastard!” Shigure snapped back, voice rising above Ichigo’s growling. “That’s why I’m trying to break the curse! That’s why I cut off ties with Akito! Who are you to just waltz into my life and tell me I haven’t done enough? Who the fuck do you think you are?”

Ichigo’s eyes were gelid, the absence of his growling was deafening. “You’re the one who involved me in this shitshow that is your family. You’re the one who asked me to save your ass and lie. You’re the one who told me you wanted to protect the kids. So. Do. Better.” And then without looking back he walked into the forest, leaving him alone with his thoughts.

[rainingskyguy]

Updates

Looks like the first draft of the second chapter for Rising Sun (kny) is done!

That plus the epilogue puts the wc at 12k, which may go slightly up after I edit.

Cage of the Dog (bleach x furuba) assaulted me yesterday and I think I finally know how to connect to the next scene. Which means some more awkward conversations with Shigure, Hatori choosing to involve himself with them and Hatsuharu finally appearing in 2-3 chapters.

No set update because I still haven’t written everything, but shouldn’t take long.

Uh what else

I’ve been working on something I affectionately call unhinged!Tanjirou au, which is now sitting at 13k and maybe i can post the first chapter soon?

I want to do something for Halloween but let’s see how it goes LMFAO

[rainingskyguy]

omg y'all I said I had nothing on the uraichi fic. I am honestly not too surprised but also judging you real hard.

Anyway, have a very quick, very drafty wip. Full disclaimer I tried to start this fic on 5 separate occasions and none of them felt right. This one actually feels decent so who knows I may actually finish it.

This is not a story about a prince, and a kingdom. This is not a story about honor, or sacrifices, or the price of victory.

No.

This story is about what comes after the war. About living again.

This is how a hero dies.
