#mxtx remix

[tossawary]

MXTX Remix 2024 fics have been revealed! I wrote about Shen Yuan and Luo Binghe getting to know each other and learning to live together in a No System AU, as a prequel to a cool ghostly Bingqiu fic called "sweet as honey" (linked in the Author's Notes). Enjoy! ❤️

Summary:

Shen Yuan wakes up as Shen Qingqiu without having read Proud Immortal Demon Way and without a Transmigration System to guide him. He has no goals, no tasks, and no quests. He and Luo Binghe manage to find each other anyway, as master and apprentice, and teach each other to find joy in this strange world.

Oh hey, @mxtxremix fics are up!

I got this awesome remix of my Nielan Gym Buddies ficlet! I really love how the author characterizes Lan Xichen here — he's Looking Respectfully, with emphasis on the respectfully. 🥰

I offered this on twitter, so I'll offer here too — if you can guess which of the remaining 63 fics are mine before author reveals, I'll write you a ficlet. :D

okay rant because I need to hhhhh I'm so tired of people misinterpreting mu qing. no he is not a heartless monster nor is he a tsundere baby. he's a complex character and people need to stop dumbing him down to either good/bad mu qing values logic before anything. he thinks everything through too much and only considers feelings after, which makes him come off as unempathetic and uncaring. that's his main flaw. he cannot deal with any emotions and hides behind an indifferent/arrogant mask despite it being far from his actual self. his avoidance with vulnerability is understandable considering just how much he had to watch himself during his teenhood and probably even childhood he's hypervigilant and gets defensive the second he feels any form of attack coming towards him. for example, him freaking out over the red coral pearl going missing during the xianle era - which, again, is understandable since that would've ruined his reputation completely. he's also terrible with showing affection and care and that's another reason why he always come off as so mean and rude mu qing is also deeply insecure; he suddenly turned his attention to hong'er after xie lian praised his skill with a saber and he found reasons to kick him out fast (I'll get onto this later). he jumps any time he's handed a broom and he's also pretty easily envious. he doesn't usually go far beyond petty words and punches - like xie lian said, he's spiteful enough to spit in someone's cup, not poison it his flaws are well thought-out and make a lot of sense for his character. you can trace his behavior patterns back to his past; for example, his hypervigilance and arrogant mask comes the fact that everyone always expected the worst of him. the second he was even suspected to be in the wrong everyone turned on him without a doubt, so he grew wary of what he did and what he said. and for the arrogant mask, he couldn't prove otherwise at all - who would listen? no one. so he just gave up and got used to it mu qing has his flaws but he also has his qualities; he's a kind person beneath everything, shockingly enough. he handed poor children cherries after he was beaten up for picking them, he brought feng xin and xie lian rice and medicine after he left, he helped jian lan give birth, he disguised himself to help xie lian and he took a whole cursed shackle for refusing to hurt him. he can only show affection through actions and it's still uncomfortable for his deeds to be recognized since he's already so used to the selfish, cold and indifferent tag everyone slapped on him so he never expects any gratitude or anything in return at all also controversial take but hua cheng was wrong to hold a grudge against mu qing and feng xin. first of all, the feng xin grudge was entirely unnecessary (for mu qing it's a lot more understandable) but that's for another rant. second of all, while it is, again, understandable from hua cheng's POV, from an outside perspective it's just.. wrong. hua cheng will go towards extreme lengths to anyone who even mildly hurts off xie lian, and that's one of his flaws as a character. I love hua cheng deeply and that's part of what makes him beautifully complex. he's overprotective after seeing his beloved hurt so many times by so many people while he couldn't do much about it. he views xie lian through rose-colored lenses and I doubt he'll let go of the way he sees mu qing any time soon considering just how heavy of a grudge he held and how complicated their friendship/relationship in general is. they don't get along and until they formally talk things out, give them 200 years to warm up to each other they'd still probably stab each other if left unattended

Part of the MXTX Remix 2022

Summary: Wei Ying draws in his sleep sometimes. Kay's comments: A remix of the sleepwalking Lan Wangji fic I recced yesterday! In this one, we have sleepwalking Wei Wuxian, who is also incredibly cute. When he sleepwalks, he draws and Lan Wangji - the big sap that he is - of course keeps all his little drawings and tucks Wei Wuxian in. Until, one day, Wei Wuxian draws something a little spicier~ Really loved their chemistry in this one and how caring Lan Wangji is. Excerpt: Each time Lan Zhan finds him like this, he lifts Wei Ying in a bridal carry, careful to avoid disturbing the drawings. He shifts Wei Ying's weight so it's more evenly distributed between his arms. Today the backs of Wei Ying's knees settle over his forearms, his kitten-socked feet dangling by Lan Zhan's knees. It's not difficult at all to lift him - at the food bank he hauls crates of fish and sacks of rice that weigh more than Wei Ying does. He told Wei Ying that once, to try and get him and eat more, but Wei Ying had only pouted and asked Lan Zhan to prove it. Lan Zhan had, of course. He'd watched Wei Ying flush and splutter as he hefted Wei Ying like one of those fish crates, observed Wei Ying's expression change from astonishment to something awed, something wanting. Lan Zhan wondered what would have happened if he had dug his thumb into the spot he knows Wei Ying finds ticklish, just below the hem of his plasticky shorts. He wondered how Wei Ying's expression would have changed then.

totally unintentional but the difference in bingqiu and wangxian (or how they make me feel at least) can be summed up in the difference between what version of crazy in love i put on their playlist

Day 4 : Energy/Tied Up

Inspired by VagabondDawn’s fic My World is Spinning Like There’s Nothing to Know on ao3. It has everything I’m weak for, the angst, remorse at decisions you could have made that maybe wouldn’t have ended the world as you know it, time travel fix it, a soul bond that’s totally not based on feelings of trust we just HAD TO get married so we could BOTH use the magic item idkwhatyou’retalkingabout…

It’s such a fun idea & imagining these two running around chaotically in the past while having everyone else thinking they “qi deviated” themselves into a soul bond is hilarious.

It's fic reveal day for the MXTX remix challenge!! This was the first challenge I've ever done, and it was honestly such a good experience. Everything's anonymous until next week, so I can't tell you which one I did, but suffice it to say, I had a lot of fun.

And then, the cherry on top is that someone did a remix of my fic, Call it fate, call it karma and it is so perfect. If you liked Call it fate, just go read this immediately. Drop everything, run don't walk.

Summary:

After they parted, Xie Lian spent his days not thinking about Hua Cheng. It didn’t go the way he expected.

Anyways, thank you so much to everyone involved!! And go check out the rest of the challenge. I haven't dug into the other fics yet (its 1pm on a work day hahaha.....) , but so many amazing authors participated, and the resulting collection looks so good.

MXTX Remix 2024 fics have been revealed! Authors are to be revealed next week! I have a new fic hidden somewhere out there among the crowd and someone very dear has written a remix of my SVSSS Daemon AU "Sit With Your Soul" with Shen Jiu as the daemon. Thank you in advance! I am very much looking forward to reading it after work. ❤️

Summary:

If Shen Yuan had known that one day he was going to have to live as an immortal peak lord, he would have started practicing his guqin playing years ago. Seriously, would it have killed somebody to give him a heads up?

Or— when Shen Yuan transmigrates into the body of the universally-reviled scum villain Shen Qingqiu, Shen Jiu transmigrates into the body of his own daemon.

MXTX Remix authors are revealed, which means I can finally share the work I did - About time I feed my selfish soul !

I was so stoked when I got Tossawary in the author assignment. Their body of work is iconic and they have so many good fics to choose from. I ended up remixing their Scum Villain daemon AU, Sit With Your Soul, which has some of the craziest, coolest world building I've ever read in a fic. To be honest, I didn't sign up for the remix challenge thinking I was going to end up writing a Shen Jiu-forward fic, but it was just such a fun process and I had a blast the whole way through. So go check it out, and go read Sit With Your Soul if you haven't!!
