I have reread your teacup collection so so many times and I cannot even begin to explain how much comfort it has provided me throughout some really tough times. I specifically love the seungcheol, minghao and soonyoung fics in that collection (I'm a bit biased sorry haha).

I've also read the seungcheol one in your masterlist and I was devastated to see that you haven't written more coups fics. Please write more!! You write his character so beautifully, he's just a big ball of comfort. I love him. And I love you.

I hope you have the greatest week ever!! <3

hey hey hey what the heck!!! anon i’m literally 🥺☹️ because of this message.

first of all, hearing that my series has helped to comfort you means more to me than i could ever express through words. (i’m a very biased person too, but soonhao’s are also a couple of my favourites from that collection 😆) i cannot stress enough that messages/feedback like this can quite literally make the difference between someone quitting and continuing to write stories for the public. i’m sure most of us have seen those posts that explain the value of interacting with creators beyond solely using the like button, and your message to me, anonymous or not, means the world to me. thank you, truly (& ily2).

the first iteration of my teacup collection was written in haste, with more effort and motivation put into some fics over others. the series was written during a time when i was somewhat taking a semester off from uni (which still happened to be three online classes during lockdown), and i wanted to challenge myself by writing and posting on a schedule—something i hadn’t done before. the result was a plan of posting two fics per week, and despite my frantic state of mind for some of them, i was elated with the challenge and amount of traction the fics garnered during that time. i knew as soon as i posted all thirteen that i wanted to write a second season of the teacup collection at some point, and that sentiment hasn’t left my mind since, regardless of my current hiatus from writing. with that said, i don’t have any preparations for reviving the teacup collection anytime soon. i don’t think i’m fully ready to return to writing about domesticity yet, and even if i was, i’m extremely busy with the (fingers crossed!) final semester of my undergrad currently. i do know, however, that i would want to spend more care on each fic, as scheduled posting is definitely not for me.

i know this is a long reply to one message, anon, but know that feedback like this is rare for many writers on tumblr, so i want to respond to all aspects of your post! as for my cheol fics, ah, og orange pekoe fan @cheolbooluvr has expressed to me to write more for him too LOL. again, i don’t think i have anything specific planned for him anytime soon, but i’ll keep this message in mind when the time comes! i’m sure many fic writers feel the same way when i say some people are easier to write for than others (for me, seokmin is obviously the one i feel most comfortable writing about, and oddly enough, chan is one of the most challenging for me despite him as one of my other faves?? LOL)—seungcheol stands somewhere in the middle where if i don’t have something specific in mind, he can be difficult to depict. i agree though, he’s definitely a big ball of comfort!

once again, i need to make sure you know how treasured this message is to me. i can’t thank you enough for taking time out of your day not only to read my fics but also to write me this beautiful message that i’ll treasure for a long time.

The girls are back (from the grave)

[First] Prev <–-> Next

[asha-mage]

MDZS AU where Jiang Cheng realizes that Lan Sizhui is the Wen orphan that Wei Wuxian took care off during the Burial Mounds arc, decides that's close enough to qualify him as Nephew, declares that no Nephew of His (much less a surrogate son of Wei Wuxian's) is going to be raised in the Cloud Recedes, and immediately launches into a custody battle with Lan Wangji.

But since neither Jiang Cheng or Lan Wangji can acknowledge that Sizuhi has any connection to Wei Wuxian, both begin steadfastly and stubbornly insisting that he is a Cultivator of peerless potential and skill and he belongs in their sect thank you very much, and would clearly be very unhappy in the other's. This confuses the hell out of the already mystified Cultivation world, who had barely adjusted yet to gossiping about Sizhui being Wangji's illegitimate child by mysterious love affair.

(Eventually the common consensus in the rumor mills is that both JC and LW where in love with Sizhui's mother and both believe themselves to be Sizhui's real father.)

(LW couldn't care less what gossips say, but JC has to bite his tongue till it bleeds to avoid telling anyone the truth in a fit of anger.)

(It was Nie Huaisang who put that rumor out in the first place, partly to troll JC, partly because, in a way, it's a little true.)

Nie Huaisang pulling a Jaskier where somehow everyone thinks he's physically tiny, because of how he tailors his clothes and the way he moves and acts and refers to himself, but in actuality he's almost the same height and shoulder width as Nie Mingjue and the impression of him as "just a little guy" is a carefully crafted illusion that would shatter if the main cast all lined up naked together.

open for a surprise

I hope you take this as the compliment it is intended to be, but you strike the same chord of irreverence-as-love, jokes-to-showcase-sencerity that I get from Chuck Tingle, and I adore both of you.

You have bestowed the greatest honour upon me.

Your CEO Lan Wangji is gorgeous!! Now we need the genius new employee sweeping Gege off his feet!

I think I got carried away drawing a Modern AU Wei Ying;;; In my brain modern au Wei Ying is a total fashionista that wears whatever he wants and absolutely does not care 😵‍💫🤧 I also replaced his hair ribbon w red streaks in his hair!! Thanks for the ask 💖💖
