MLC Chinese fic rec: 飛雨落花中 by 折霜_

Link to the first chapter of the fic:

(To get to the next chapter, go to the end of the page and click the left button.  There may be other posts by the author in between the chapters, just keep clicking left.)

My translation of the title:

Amidst a Shower of Rain and Flowers

Pairing: Li Lianhua / Fang Duobing

Author’s summary:

“相寻梦里路，飞雨落花中。”

原来过往种种，不过一场大梦。飞雨入海，落花做尘，唯有一人守在梦境出口，任风雨飘摇，从不曾离开。

只是，他却把他忘了。

原著向设定，接剧版结局。以命换命+狗血失忆梗大乱炖。

即便忘记了又如何？不过是让李莲花，再重新爱上方多病一次罢了。这世间除了生死，不会再有任何劫难能将他们分开。

My translation:

Searching for the path in a dream, amidst a shower of rain and flowers.

So the past is merely a dream.  The rain falls into the ocean and the flowers become dirt.  Only one person awaits at the exit of the dream realm, steadfastly remaining no matter how the wind and rain sway.

Except, he has forgotten him.

Following the drama’s ending, canon characterizations.  A life for a life + dogsblood amnesia trope mashup.

So what if he’s forgotten?It’s nothing but Li Lianhua falling in love again with Fang Duobing.  In this world, other than life and death, no other trials or tribulations can separate them.

—

40 chapters total, plus one extra (labeled as number 2; the first extra is only available currently in the hard-copy book version).

This is one of several stories I love where FDB sacrifices his martial abilities to save LLH, but then LLH has amnesia and doesn’t remember being LLH.  This one isn’t quite as angsty as some of the others (until near the end), mainly it’s about LLH falling in love with FDB again, with a well-written storyline that has FDB (together with LLH and DFS) dealing with a deadly plot against him and LLH.

It has a LLH who is a bit of a jerk to begin with (LXY is not known for being nice, after all), who decides to act as FDB’s bodyguard because he knows FDB is lying to him about his past and wants to figure out the truth.  I love the slow build of their knowledge of each other - FDB is different from canon in that he’s grown up a lot in the time searching for LLH, and has taken on the responsibilities of being the young master of Tianji Manor, which has a substantial intelligence network.  

I spent most of the story screaming Xiaoooobaoooo in various tones from delight to despair.  The other main theme of this story is about how much FDB loves LLH and just how far he is willing to go because of it.  

Please leave the author a <3 or comment if you can.  Feel free to let them know I rec’d them - I love this story so much but am unable to sign up for lofter so I can’t leave comments myself.

Go read and come back to talk about it!

See my general warnings.  But they don’t apply to the main story, which is pretty pg (other than canon-typical violence).  The extra on lofter is pg; the explicit part is on weibo.  

Below the read more are some specific warnings for this fic.  

Canon-typical nonconsensual drugging.

Ableism.  

A little non-negotiated bondage in the explicit part of the extra.

I have found another drama novel! (Many of them actually.) It’s not, quite a dogsblood? Definitely smut though. A real yellow novel.

But if the ML does give her a divorce, he will promptly be murdered by his own subordinates and quite possibly his family’s totemic spirit beast.

This has very 破镜重圆 modern!AU vibes to me - this is the melancholy pining from a distance period. FDB had a huge crush on LXY when he was a kid. They run in the same social circles and LXY was the bright shining star wunderkind who was kind to the kid in the wheelchair getting snubbed at the gala. LXY falls from grace [insert something plotty and cool] and vanishes for 10 years. FDB meets LLH again and helps him right the wrongs. And there's kissies. BUT THEN! LLH finds out he has a terminal illness or I dunno has to go undercover to do something dangerous [insert dogsblood plot elements] and tries to let FDB down gently but ofc that's impossible bc FDB doesn't understand the concept of letting go so he breaks up cruelly and vanishes. 5 years later whatever thing that took him away is resolved (miracle cure! LXY rises from the ashes!) and he sees FDB, all grown up and even more gorgeous. Now's the time for melancholy pining and longing glances (see above pics), 追妻火葬场, except well this is FDB so it just takes an apologetic glance, nose rub, a partial explanation and FDB forgives him. Cue 5000 words of smutty reconciliation.

how nice of cheng yi and zeng shunxi to post these photoshoots on the same day... fanghua au thoughts, anyone?

#decvinylworship day 14 // an entire discography of an artist: ALEXISONFIRE Well, clearly I don't own everything by them. But I thought it'd be cool to pull out all my AOF records for a shot since I'd never posted any of them here before. // I first listened to AOF just after Watch Out! was released. At that time, I already much preferred the s/t over Watch Out!, as well as Crisis, which was due to come out later in the year. It still remains my favourite AOF record to this day; it's raw, unbridled energy and chaos unmatched by their later works. // There's some pretty cool stuff here, including the oxblood/300 variant of Live at Copps, and some overruns from the AOF box set which I picked up from separately from Dine Alone (the three 7"s and Live at BBC Radio 1). But the coolest/rarest piece here, and also one of the most prized records I own, is the the copy of Old Crows/Young Cardinals that comes in a silkscreened cover, limited to 70. #alexisonfire #theonlybandever #watchout #crisis #oldcrowsyoungcardinals #dogsblood #dinealonerecords #vagrantrecords #posthardcore #screamo #vinyl #records #33rpm #45rpm #7inch #vinyljunkie #vinyligclub #vinyladdict #vinylporn #vinylnerd #vinylart #vinylgram #instavinyl #vinylcollective #vinylcollection #vinylcollector #vinylcommunity #recordcollection #recordcollector

Not a translation this time :) 

I have, let’s call it, a strong appreciation for the consumptive beauty of delicate constitution trope in Chinese webnovels. This is a compilation of all I have read and will read, sorted by genre and with descriptions of the main characters’ condition(s) - ratings are based on my personal preference for the novel only. 

Currently a work in progress.

Rouleux formation ( arrows) : Rouleux formation is the piling up of the erythrocytes on top of each other to resemble a stack of coins. The discoid shape of the erythrocytes helps them to perfectly stack on one another and resemble a rouleau. Physiologically seen upto slight extent in dogs, prominently seen in equines and felines. Increased numbers are in inflammatory condition leading to increased circulatory levels of fibrinogen, immunoglobulins and other acute phase reaction proteins. Increased rouleux formation is indirectly linked to the erythrocyte sedimentation rate which is increased in inflammatory conditions caused due a variety of etiologies like neoplasms, tissue damage, a cute and chronic infections and degenerative diseases. #vetpath #vetpathology #hematology #haematology #veterinaryhaematology #dogsblood #bloodsample #wetmount #bloodundermicroscope #rouleux #rouleuxformation #rouleau #microscopy #blood https://www.instagram.com/drdashvetpath/p/BvO9ihPB5HT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8un8tr2e5aop

the passage of time and the horrible unfunny joke that is disney’s legal machine aside,

I think we are Past the point that star wars should have become public domain. I’m over continuity. Time for star wars to be a genre. I want twenty publishers in thirty countries to all have their own movie, tv, book, and triple-A videogame takes and no obligations to agree with each other or with movie canon.

... and if that also meant, at some point, that Viki or something released a 50-episode dogsblood wuxia series that just happened to be set a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, with lightsabers...

Well. That’d be fine too.

Still reading the dogsblood drama. The male protagonist is so flipping toxic, I’m begging this to end in the promised divorce. Can i go back to MDZS and their healthy romantic relationship please?

Rabit announces new album Les Fleurs Du Mal via Halcyon Veil

On November 3, electronic composer and producer Rabit will release his sophomore album. It’s called Les Fleurs Du Mal, which we of course all know is French for “The Fleurs Du Mal.” Following up appearances on two previously EUREKA!’d albums — Elysia Crampton’s Demon City and Chino Amobi’s Paradiso — not to mention TMT’s 33rd favorite music release of 2015, Les Fleurs Du Mal is Rabit’s exploration of the self, finding out where exactly he belongs in a world growing increasingly chaotic by the second. And, like those albums by Crampton and Amobi, Les Fleurs Du Mal was devised as a product of intentional sequestering, with the goal of creating an experience that feels refined, remarkable, and real. Les Fleurs Du Mal is set for release November 3 via Halcyon Veil and can be pre-ordered digitally or on vinyl (limited-edition white or otherwise) here. The album features guest vocals from Chino Amobi and Cecilia, who handles co-production alongside Coil’s Drew McDowall. Watch the video for “Bleached World,” filmed in Houston during Hurricane Harvey, and check out the album’s full tracklisting, down below. Les Fleurs Du Mal tracklist: 01. Possessed 02. Bleached World 03. Roach 04. Ontological Graffiti 05. Dogsblood Redemption 06. Prayer 07. The Whole Bag 08. Humanity’s Daughter 09. Rosy Cross 10. Ontological II 11. Prayer II (Gemme) 12. Elevation http://j.mp/2gAfeuR

Been wondering what the ever loving was a “dogsblood drama” until I unwittingly found one. It’s a soap opera in text format.
