#link click fanfic

[thepeculiarauthor]

we got another two years prob till link click season 3 so i'm gon talk about everything i love about this series thanks

human trafficking rep. holy shit. a more realistic approach to the mental trauma involved for all parties.

the VAs slapped, regardless of what sub/dub you pick, they all slayed

suicide awareness. so many shows shy away from this when trauma/etc are very real and suicide is often faced as an option. link click takes this and goes "hell no. live. FUXKING LIVE NO MATTER WHAT" and it's 11/10. you're loved. please. stay.

the bonds. not a lot of fiction anymore just shows GENUINE relationships. it's either abusive shit or fluffy shit -- neither are 'good' or realistic. but link click comes along and has functioning adult relationships that Still have issues and problems and arguments and disagreements bUT love is still present in those relationships bc they're healthy

it's also a reminder that genuine love / relationships aren't based on what you can give, etc. (as adults i think we forget this often and we feel we have to deserve a relationship; link click says f this)

a big theme of the story is making mistakes!!!!! so many fictional stories either 1) take the 'aw i messed up again:(' approach or 'my mc can do NOTHING incorrect or wrong ever' and they suck, lol. link click is a great balance of yes, we messed up, but we move forward.

link click also is a solid example of "yeah, sometimes life is shit! you try your best! it doesn't always matter!!!" but not in a "so d/e" way but in a "even so, still try, still love, because knowing you can't control shouldn't instill fear but bravery"

LING IS A POSITIVE FEMALE CHARACTER THAT DOESNT CONSTANTLY HAVE TO SHIT ON MEN TO BE IN THE STORY --

death and grief handled in a realistic way tbh

the occasional laugh and smile and just the humor is pure

the tension and intrigue is the best written and portrayed i've seen and i'll die on this hill sorry

the concept of time travel is popular, but i haven't found anything to tackle the emotional / MORAL consequences like link click has. "SHOULD you change the past? IS IT OK to change the past?" we've all seen "oh no we changed the past we must fix it!!!" but I've never seen "the past, the present, and the future are heartbreaking and gut-wrenching and stunning and precious and beautiful as they are" but HUMAN NATURE remains and our desires continue to be to remove the heartbreak and pain. is that morally wrong or not?

ANYWAY this will prob be part 1 of more but please lmk what you think lol

Link Click Headcanons { Dates }

●Lu Guang●

° He'd definitely be the guy to want more casual types of dates with you. Not dressing fancy is more his style of life and mind.

° Top 3 ideal dates would be: Visiting an art museum, picnic, and cafe.

° Gifting you a small souvenir from every date to make them all memorable and different, wishing for you to look back and smile every time.

° A tiny smile on his face throughout the WHOLE date, even with more casual settings, he enjoyed every minute spent with his lover.

° Once he follows you home, there would be soft jokes and laughs. Sad about the departing, but you giving him a peck on the lips or cheek before he leaves, gets this man a little flusterd.

●Cheng Xiaoshi●

° Goes out and beyond to give you the best dates he can imagine, mostly romantic, like romantic dinner date is one of his go-to.

° Top 3 for him in dates would have to be: Romantic dinners, Stargazing, and arcades

° He adores to give you flowers, a small plushie, chocolates, or just some candy when he picks you up for the dates. Often, keeping them secret until you get to the location.

° Will initiate physical contact the whole time like simple brushes of shoulder, hand holding, or playfully nudging with his elbow at corny jokes even if it him who made it.

° If you think you're allowed to depart from the date before giving him a proper kiss on the lips, you're wrong. Kissing you gives me a new sense of comfort, so he'll hold it for a few seconds before heading home again.

Hope you all enjoyed it!!♡

[chubphoe-linkclick]

One of the reasons I signed up for the SGDLR mini big bang event was because I heard there would be a theme, one of which was 'fairytales'. That didn't end up panning out for everyone, but I was lucky enough to be paired with Kuya who gladly took my original idea and developed it into a full blown fic with me!

You can read "The Trio, the Twins, and the Lone Warlock" over on AO3, something that I implore you do! Please!!

[falling-star-cygnus]

i've been toying with this idea for a while now, but the weekly release of s3 has been giving me motivation to post more Link Click stuff!!!

so, Lu Guang's ability allows him to look into the 12 hours following the aftermath of a picture- right? sooo hypothetically, if someone knew about this ability- they could set a trap not a 'trap' trap, obviously, but like- they could hurt him with it yk? it'll make more sense in fic form

kinda hand-wavey when it comes to timeline placement, but let's just say it's before Lu gets stabbed :3

"So..."

"...yeah."

"How weird."

Three pairs of eyes stare at the little envelope left on the counter.

"Neither of you left it here? Cheng Xiaoshi?" Qiao Ling asks- rather accuses her brother, while Lu Guang reaches for the package.

"Wh-!? I was out with you all day! When would I have even- Guangguang's the one who's been here!"

The accused in question tunes out the bickering siblings to pry open the glue seal. This argument was nothing new, after all, not this lifetime and not this week. It was kind of comforting, like a white noise machine.

What was new, was this package.. that only held a single photo. And no return address, or name attached... It wasn't even a particularly remarkable photo, just- a room. An empty, rusted room.

"Don't accuse Lu Guang! He's much more responsible than you-"

"Well how else could it have gotten there!?"

The pale haired boy wracked his mind for any ounce of familiarity, but... nothing. He can't recall having ever seen this place, or any timeline where this thing was dropped off. It didn't make any sense.

"LU GUANG!" the siblings shout at him, each slamming their dominant hand onto the counter. The photo slips from his fingers as he jumps.

...maybe he tuned them out a bit too much.

Cheng Xiaoshi catches it to take a look for himself, appearing equally as puzzled.

"Sorry, Qiao Ling-ji," Lu Guang ducks his head, "I stepped out for a second to check the darkroom. I didn't see who left it."

And wasn't that disconcerting. Someone had managed to sneak in and out of the studio without ever alerting the ever vigilant time-traveler. It left a weird itch under his ribs.

Were they in danger again? So soon? They hadn't even met the twins yet... had this timeline changed too drastically to be saved?

Apparently, his discomfort showed on his face too- his spiraling sanity as red threads frayed around him- because the next thing he knew he had his roommate nudging his side and offering the photo back.

"Guangguang? We're not actually upset, you know.."

"Uh... right." he didn't think they were, but he'll take the escape. And distraction.

"Yeah! Mistakes happen," Qiao Ling chirps, reaching up to ruffle his hair, "No harm, no foul, Lu Guang. We'll check the tapes."

The time-traveler can't help the rosy blush that colors his cheeks under the siblings' onslaught of affection and attention. Affection and attention that he didn't deserve for lying to them for so long. But.. he was greedy. Greedy for their friendship and so, so terribly afraid of what he would become without it.

"Oh, so the landlady gets to touch your hair without permission but when I do it-" annnd then Cheng Xiaoshi was ruffling his hair too, saving him from his head again in a far more chaotic fashion than his sister [yet he was no less gentle], "you get all complain-y!"

"Idiot, you're still hung up on that? It was years ago-"

"Hardly!"

Qiao Ling giggles at their antics and takes her leave- presumably to go check the tapes like she said. The two watch her go from their peripherals.

And then get to work.

Lu Guang raises the photo, trying to ignore the fuzzy feeling that spreads in his chest when Cheng Xiaoshi adjusts to block him from the view of any onlookers. They didn't need words at this point.

He could feel his friend's eyes on the side of his face, as if drawn to the blue light for some inexplicable reason. It was fine, he could dissect that feeling later. Or never, preferably never.

Right now, he had to figure out why this picture appeared.

Nothing happened at first. The photo was taken of and empty room, and the man who took it sat in a chair just behind the camera. It almost seemed like a prank. One hour passed, then two, three... four.. six.. nine.

Lu Guang was prepared for his time- his limited, precious time- to be utterly wasted. For Cheng Xiaoshi to be laughing at him when he resurfaced, and for that tight ball of anxiety in his chest to loosen somewhat when-

"How long are you going to hide in the past?"

His heart drops to his stomach, the empty space it left behind squeezing like a vacuum.

"Do you truly think you can save them?"

The man stands up, still facing the same half of that empty room.

"Do you think you deserve to, Lu Guang?"

"How do you.."

In all these timelines, all these threads he ties and breaks and travels and resets, he's never- no one has ever- Whoever sent this knows about him and his powers. Knows about the timelines.

Lu Guang runs through potential names.

Qian Jin? The twins? Vein? Liu Xiao? Liu Min-

"Don't bother guessing. I doubt you'd get it, even with all the time in the world."

"...what?"

He couldn't tell if the man was responding to his thoughts or words or just- knew him and was covering each base.

"See, people like you are interesting. People who think they're above the rules are interesting.."

A pale, crooked hand runs over grimy bricks. The hour creeps past eleven.

"You were raised better than that."

Everything happens at once.

The man turns around, revealing a mirror barely a foot away. Lu Guang doesn't get a chance to make out more than burning amber eyes before the room goes up in light.

| + + + |

Cheng Xiaoshi's knuckles are white on the counter.

He doesn't want to mess up Lu Guang's focus, or accidentally hurt him by pulling him prematurely out of the photo but.. he looked so scared.

It wasn't an emotion he was used to- or liked- seeing on his friend at all. If Lu Guang was scared, then what- the dark haired boy shook his head. If Lu Guang was scared, then... Cheng Xiaoshi would just have to be strong enough for both of them.

He could do that- he could totally do that! After everything Lu Guang helped him with in the past, Cheng Xiaoshi would offer his own hand tenfold.

"How do you..." his friend muttered, voice weak and fragile and quiet.

"Guangguang?"

As far as he's known, Lu Guang had never talked when inside a photo before. After and before, sure, but... never during. He itched to reach out, to brush that soft white hair off his friend's suddenly clammy brow.

Lu Guang's slender fingers trembled.

"...what?"

....he shouldn't. He really shouldn't. But Lu Guang's never acted this way before! Not when he was awake. Maybe he wouldn't even notice-

No. No no no, he shouldn't risk it.

Cheng Xiaoshi would just- take him out for milk tea after this. Yeah.

A few more minutes pass, filled only by soft breaths and the tap-tap-tap-tap of Xiaoshi's finger on the counter. Lu wouldn't notice.

Would he?

No..

The photo falls from Lu Guang's hands at the same Cheng Xiaoshi lunges for him.

Barely, just barely does he manage to tuck his hand between the shelves and the soft white hair of his best friend- seconds before collision and so, so worth his undoubtedly bruised knuckles.

"Lu Guang? LU GUANG!"

The sound his friend looses is primal- hurts his chest in a way he didn't know possible- and his hands, slender and crooked in the knuckle, clutch at his face with such ferocity that his nails almost break skin. Cheng Xiaoshi guides him to the floor as gently as he can as the pale haired boy's knees give.

"It's okay," he whispers, looking around for something- anything- that could help, "It's okay.."

"I can't-" Lu Guang gasps, his chest heaving and his eyes still blue, "I can't see- I.. I can't-"

"Okay.. okay.. it's okay."

He feels like a broken record, but he doesn't know what else to say when Lu Guang is in so much obvious pain. God, could he even hear him? Who would- how-?

Cheng Xiaoshi bats his friend's hands away from his face and quickly covers his eyes for him, not wanting to add scratches to Lu's discomfort.

"Just breathe, Lu, I'm right here.. I'm right here." he says, tucking the pale haired boy against his chest until he was sure he could hear the thump of his heart, "Just focus on me, okay?"

That always seemed to calm Lu Guang down, at least.

"What did you see? Lu Guang, what did you see?"

"I don't- I don't know- there was.. there was a room.. and a man- and- and then light. He knew-"

He wish he hadn't asked. he hadn't heard Lu Guang this panicked and raw in a while. He was in pain. And Xiaoshi couldn't do anything about it.

"Okay.. it's okay," Cheng Xiaoshi digs around in his pocket, keeping his friend bracketed by his legs, "Lu Guang-"

Okay, okay, deep breaths. You can't help him if you're panicking too. Deep breaths. Don't tell you don't know what to do...

He tucks himself around his best friend, as if he could hold Lu Guang together with his body alone and rescue him from this awful, awful pain he was in. They never should've opened that envelope.

Eventually, Qiao Ling wanders back in, and she looks far more troubled than when she left. To be fair, so do her boys.

From there, it's a blur.

Lu Guang gets checked into a hospital, the sibling's lie to the police, Xiaoshi gets grilled by his sister on why they had to lie to the police, and everything spirals out of control.

Or, at least- that's what it feels like.

"Cheng Xiaoshi," Qiao Ling speaks up, from where the two are hovering anxiously outside of Lu's room. And wow, does this feel achingly familiar.. in a way he can't quite put his finger on..

She's biting on her thumbnail.

"The person who left that envelope on the counter... "

Cheng Xiaoshi looks at her, fist clenching in his pocket in preperation to swing at whoever dared-

"It looked like Lu Guang."

"...what?"

Thanatophobia

I completed my new fic, which is a 24K oneshot! I worked on this for months. I haven't written a LC fic in a while, the last one being in November, so I'm really excited to share it! Press on the title if you're interested, and as always, thank you!

(also, the main reason for the fic's Mature rating is because there is self-harm, which may not be suitable for all audiences.)

Summary:

thanatophobia (n): an intense fear of losing someone you love, usually by death.

“Hey, Cheng Xiaoshi…” “Yeah?” “Can you… talk?” “Huh?” “Talk.” I know that this is a selfish request, but for once… I’m willing to be selfish. “Just… talk for me. Just this once.” Talk. I want your voice to drown out the endless horrifying thoughts of your death in my head. Please. Just this once.

or: Lu Guang's first dive back in time, and the events that unfold with it.

[ilovereadingandstuff]

People... What if?!! What if...??

I'm pretty sure I'm not the first one to come up with this, but anyway....

What if Cheng Xiaoshi's death occurs due to him trying to prevent Lu Guang's death?!

Inspired by this sentence right here from this marvellous fanfic...

What if in the og timeline, Lu Guang is the one that dies, but Cheng Xiaoshi changed that by replacing it by his own?

And Lu Guang is trying to avoid both death? (yes, exactly like that one meme I don't have the picture of)

Or come back at his death to be the one meant to happen and not cxs's?! (that would explain why he was so 'let me die, it has to happen, move on, I don't wanna be burden' when he was stabbed at s2ep1)

Or maybe they're both changing timelines respectively yo save the other??? As that one hc I read a time ago...

So many options, so many questions!!! I NEED SEASON 3 NOW!!

[celestialsun123]

Link Click fanfiction:

Lu Guang has a nightmare, so naturally the only smart thing to do is to kick the bed, right?

Cheng Xiaoshi woke up from a nightmare and didn’t immediately fall off the bed. That was a bad sign.

He held his breath and listened carefully for the telltale signs that Lu Guang was having a nightmare.

Sure enough, there was quick breathing and muffled crying coming from the bunk above Cheng Xiaoshi.

Now, when Cheng Xiaoshi was having a nightmare, Lu Guang would stare at him because he ‘didn’t know what to do.’ Cheng Xiaoshi understood, but it was creepy. He also had no way of getting up high enough without alerting Lu Guang to his presence.

So Cheng Xiaoshi did what he always did when Lu Guang had a nightmare.

He kicked the underside of the bunk as hard as he could.

He heard Lu Guang sit upright instantly with a cut off yelp.

“Cheng Xiaoshi!” He hissed furiously, leaning over the side of the bunk, parts of his hair falling in front of his face. They looked damp with sweat. “What have I said about kicking the bed, idiot?”

Cheng Xiaoshi leaned out as well to gaze back up at Lu Guang. “Oh, I’m sorry, I must have missed that day in class.” He smiled broadly, knowing that the nightmare couldn’t be that bad because Lu Guang had immediately called him an idiot.

The slightly murderous intent behind Lu Guang’s eyes softened. “Well you’re here now, so no kicking the bed while I’m sleeping.”

He sighed loudly. “Lu Gua-ang, I’m simply kicking the night demons out of your bed.” He fixed Lu Guang with his best impression of a kitten’s eyes. “I meant well.”

Lu Guang’s face suddenly froze. It was a few moments before he spoke.

“I know. But mean well in a different way, please.”

“If you insist,” Cheng Xiaoshi said, knowing full well that he would forget about this by the next day.

So basically this is too short to put on my ao3 account (right now), so Tumblr is the perfect spot for it!

( @anulithots , @mylee-sketches )

[shiguangism]

I wrote a new fic. I was inspired by hktkparody1week theme school! I hope you will enjoy it!

Felt like Home

Summary:

The bruises on his face, on his knuckles hurt. They hurt so bad. He hated to feel weak. This has happened already so many times and still he couldn’t stop his tears nor his pain. Small steps echoed, and Cheng Xiaoshi held his breath, silencing any sounds. Just from the corner of his eye, he looked behind his back. “What do you want?” “I was searching for you…”

[novemberninth]

So... I guess writing fics won't be a one-off thing for me

When I published my first ever fanfiction I thought, that's it, I'm done, I'll go back to silently consuming content. But nooo Link Click has plagued my sleep with scenarios that I just HAD to write them down. So now I finished another fic (7k+ words!) and will be slowly uploading them.

[catguangcorner]

Tags: Lu Guang-centric, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Character Study, Literal Sleeping Together, Trauma, Denial of Feelings, Ambiguous/Open Ending, Grief/Mourning, Implied/Referenced Character Death, Angst and Feels

Words: 2177

Summary: When the thunder comes again, inevitably, and Lu Guang can't stop himself from flinching, recognition flits across Cheng Xiaoshi's face.

And he doesn't laugh or tease. He doesn't make fun of Lu Guang for what is entirely nonsensical and childish. He lays a hand over Lu Guang's open palm, as if inviting him to lace their fingers together. Neither of them do.

“Hey, it's okay—let me do this for you.”

There's a storm, and Lu Guang spirals inwards.

��

FINALLY POSTED IT <33 Lu Guang has that gayass overthinking anxiety ridden thing going on in this one,, it was cathartic to write in a way and i hope if anybody you read it u really enjoy!! and send me asks so i can ramble about it and more of my fic ideas hehehe

[snowpoet123]

I wanted to be done with this fic 20k words ago, but now I'm sitting here, 41k words in and just finished Story Arc Two out of Five. I've long given up on a word goal, but I guess 100k sounds realistic at this point...

Anyway, sorry for my latest chapter, here's the link for anyone interested in hurt/comfort Shiguang where I continue to torture Lu Guang:

Tagging @anulithots to let you know that ch 26 is online now :)

[diary-ofamadwoman]

Summary:

Lu Guang has no choice but to use the last remaining picture of Cheng Xiaoshi he has. It's his last chance at defying fate, but when have things ever stayed simple with both Cheng Xiaoshi and the past involved? “GuangGuang!” A teasing grin appears on Cheng Xiaoshi’s face and Lu Guang can feel his own hair standing on end. “What is it? You have something to hide? From me?” He sounds almost offended. Suddenly, he’s so close: all Lu Guang can see and feel...

SORRY WHAT, YOU WRITE FOR LINK CLICK?!? it's so rare to find LC fans these days TwT supeeeeer excited for s3 i always wanted to see how xiaoshi and lu would act if they have a crush on reader and if they would confess or not, sorry if its too simple. as a lu guang fan, i would really love to see him get embarrassed and flustered😋

It is so rare. I couldn't find anyone almost when I was searching ngl 😔🙏 but here I am!!

~~~

Link Click Headcanons { Confession or no? }

° Lu Guang °

- Figured it out immediately after you'd done something to impress him that made him question his idea of you.

- He did find out about his crush months ago and wanted to make sure that a relationship would be possible to work between the two first before making any steps.

- Avoid eye contact at all cost and would go out of his way to help with smaller tasks you have wanting to show you he cares, acting composed like he would normally be.

- Very likely to tell you, but via a little note that he slid over even though you two sat next to each other. The tips of his ears would burn a bright red from being embarrassed but couldn't hide it.

° Cheng Xiaoshi °

- He might be smart, but not when it comes to romance such as he didn't even realise he'd be accidentally flirting with you from the start.

- Such as always being close to you at almost any moment he could but after a few weeks he'd still never pick up on it.

- Say one day you show interest in him and them he just goes 'Wait what' before it starts making sense to him as well as his heart picking up speed everytime he's around you from that day on.

- He'd confess in a more romantic way, such as bringing something you like and saying a whole speech with a little stammering over his own words but got through it nonetheless.

~~~

RAHHH I can't wait for the 3rd season to come out!! ♡♡ Hope you enjoyed the headcanons!! ♡

what if Lu Guang's eyes bled when he used his ability too much

like- what if, guys

✨NOW WITH PT.2✨

i love Lu Guang i promise-

{-> this also takes place in the Eyedrops fic timeline <-}

{Lu Guang is sitting on the couch with a notepad, trying to get through some photos he doesn't particularly want Cheng Xiaoshi diving in}

{Cheng Xiaoshi isn't actually home at the moment, having run out with Qiao Ling for a few minutes to snag some food before all the shops closed for the night}

{The white-haired man rubs his eyes with increasing amounts of frequency as he feels his time alone dwindle lower and lower}

Lu Guang, squinting with a sense of urgency: Come on... just a little further

{He rubs his eyes again, just a little too hard for how delicate they currently are}

{Something crunches and pops}

{At first, Lu Guang doesn't pay it any more then a fleeting acknowledgement. A sign to pull back, maybe, next time. Until liquid, too thick and warm to be tears, drizzles itself down, down, down...}

{A drop of red splashes onto his hand. Another onto the photo}

{More and more he can feel the sticky red substance gather on his lash line and smear into the polaroid. Lu Guang barely notices when his legs take him to the bathroom; until he sees his own spooked face and heaving chest in the mirror}

{Blood bubbles from his tear ducts and down his cheeks, drying into a tight crust where he refuses to wipe it away}

{The door downstairs opens. Cheng Xiaoshi and Qiao Ling have returned}

[spilledstars1234]

a post for any Link Clickers in need of a fic to read ^^

Hey there fellow link clickers! (i love our fandom name, haha!) I'm currently writing a LC fic, yet also dealing with a bout of insanely annoying writer's block that goes on and off and is slightly driving me crazy so that's fun, haha! It's probably gonna end up taking me a good while to finish T-T.

BUT!

If anyone here wants to put a grin on this sleep-deprived writer's face or if you want to throw some serotonin my way, I occasionally write Link Click one-shots in my free time: check out my ao3 here.

My most recent Link Click fic, "Thanatophobia," is perhaps one of the longest fics I have on ao3. I actually posted this fic over a month ago to ao3 hehe. I think it turned out pretty good, so if you want to check it out and leave some comments or kudos, that would make my day.

But I'm honestly so proud of that fic so I'm just gonna self-promote it down here haha,

so feel free to check out some of these fun links below! ^^

Thanatophobia (Link Click one-shot, word count: 24,922)

Distorted Shadows (Link Click one-shot, 4,416 words)
