i need to work on my chengxian fics....
#one of them isn't even chengxian really it's mostly just a character study of jiang cheng and his relationship with wwx#and i've built it up in my brain as my magnum opus which makes it impossible to complete#“oh danny you ship chengxian?” they live in my soul and take me apart piece by piece#it's not so much that i ship them romantically it's that they're two skeletons in the same pair of ruins#who were so close together where they were buried that when archaeologists found them#centuries later when half their bones are dust#and the world around them has changed#they are reconstructed as one body. wwx's femur to jc's pelvis. jc's skull to wwx's c1 vertibrae#the version of their relationship in my brain is too weird for platonic cheng&xian likers i think#they are yuri to me#in the way that yuri is about the love between two people as ambiguous and ephemeral and all-consuming#they have the same relationship that you had with your childhood best friend who you don't love anymore but you also Do still love#just because it's part of you just because it's in your blood#even though you haven't talked to them in years#and who you think you could have married if you had both chosen just one thing differently.#“danny that's an insane thing to say about a pairing you just said you don't ship romantically” well maybe you just don't understand love.

As temping as "ansong flesh" is, I need you to talk publicly about the chengxian robot AU -Fish
my chengxian robot au is one of my two magnum opuses and the one i have decided to downgrade from magnum opus to "like, pretty okay" so that it can actually exist, because i love it so dearly.
it's a modern(???) sci-cult (science fiction cultivation, a genre name i have just made up) setting taking place in a not-so-distant-future-but-also-definitely-the-future, wherein there is lots of worldbuilding probably that doesn't matter even a little bit
because the fic is actually about jiang cheng's maldaptive coping mechanisms and jiang cheng's maldaptive coping mechanisms only. it also isn't strictly a chengxian fic their relationship is less so platonic romantic or familial and moreso. just. tragic.
wwx dies, somehow he dies, i haven't figured out the details but wwx is dead and jiang cheng is for some reason still his next of kin on paperwork and is the first one informed and also the one who has to clean out wwx's apartment.
there, he finds an android that happens to look like wwx, and he is exactly as normal about this as you'd expect, he definitely doesn't spend years trying to finish his brothers work and then taking it out on this inanimate object when it is (of course) not really wei wuxian, and will never be wei wuxian, because wei wuxian is dead and is never coming back and has left him here alone to--
anyway. it's mostly a character study about jiang cheng and grief and what it means to hate someone while loving them while hating them again.
have some heavy-handed metaphor.
