What W2 Wrote in 2023

Considering that I'm prrrrrobably not going to manage to put out anything else this year, yeah, let's do a roundup now while I've got a moment. (Note: Only includes fun stuff; no professional shit here.)

January

I can't even remember January. Nothing happens in Januaries.

February

to the beat of your heart, ch. 3 (MDZS) The ongoing adventures of a self-indulgent happy-ending everybody-lives-and-also-bones WangXian canon-divergent AU; a joint project between my wife and me.

It’s Hard to Say “I Do” When You Don’t (@shousetsubangbang) Original story about a guy whose long-time crush asks him to pretend to be his boyfriend at a family wedding. Fake dating ensues.

March

Kintsukuroi (DMBJ) This heihua piece may be the best thing I've written all year? Look, I'm just very proud of how I made it exactly what I wanted it to be.

April

Head (@shousetsubangbang) This was a last-minute fill because the story I wanted to write failed to make itself writeable. Oh well! Still a funny and cute blowjob.

May

to the beat of your heart, ch. 4 (MDZS)

I want to be where all the stupid shit I say sounds so romantic and true (Guardian, WeiLan) Someday I will write a longer and more complicated series of Guardian sex pollen shenanigans, but until then, enjoy this one.

The Rightful Ruler (The Blood of Youth, Lei Wujie/Xiao Se) Still the only English-language story on AO3 for this pairing! Includes maybe the funniest line I wrote all year? You make the call!

The Doctor is In (Psych-Hunter) I know nobody watched Psych-Hunter, and with good reason, but I did, and I think Jiang Shuo should get to spy on the sexy gay doctor if he wants to.

June

A Single Explosion (DMBJ, Pangxi + Xiao Ge) For PingPang Week, with @pangzi in mind. Here's the missing part of Ultimate Note, where Pangzi takes care of Xiao Ge in the hospital.

Dog (The Disguiser, Ah Cheng/Ming Lou) This was actually written before I saw the post going around about how the sexiest thing one guy can be is another's dog. But it's true!

And I am green, and you are wood (DMBJ/Mystic Nine) Another exchange fic, where Liang Wan gets a chance to meet all of Zhang Rishan's old (boy)friends, especially Ba Ye.

Reverse Cowgirl (Not Gay as in Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, Queer as in Dude Ranch) (@shousetsubangbang) Is this the hottest thing I've ever written for SSBB? Might just be. Lesbian ranch hands recruit a city girl.

July

Stay (Beyond Evil, Oh Jihwa/Yu Jaeyi) Because you know what that show needed? Small town lesbians.

Little Spear (The Blood of Youth, Sikong Qianluo/Xiao Se) This show has some cute het, but how it would work in bed is another matter entirely; or, two gay people try to have straight sex.

动须相应 (live-action Hikaru no Go, Yu Liang/Shi Guang) It's hard to get much gayer than the actual show without adding explicit sex, so ... here you go! Post-series boyfriends.

One Quiet Night (Kingdom, Seobi + Lee Chang/Yeongshin) This is the other thing I'm really proud of, because it too came out pretty much exactly the way I envisioned it. A nurse, a prince, and a scrappy piece of shit more or less all fall in love.

August

Hooks in My Sides (Beyond Evil, JWDS) This certainly was the most popular thing I've written all year. It's unfortunately easy to write poor Juwon having a gay meltdown.

A World Made Up of Silver and Copper (@shousetsubangbang) A prince-and-pauper scenario, this time focusing on the prince's adventures in being mistaken for himself. (Hint: they are sexy.)

September

...Funny how the first months of each semester are usually a complete wash for me creatively, huh?

October

to the beat of your heart, ch. 5 (MDZS)

Over My Dead Body (@shousetsubangbang) Nothing like the romance of possessing a corpse only to find he's not actually dead. (Note to DMBJ fans: This should taste like heihua.)

November

A fair amount of November was spent writing something that I just couldn't finish for December's SSBB, once I realized how long it'd have to be and how little free time I had. Maybe next year!

December

Antivenin (@shousetsubangbang) A mean bisexual and an even meaner lesbian team up to distract their gay boss from his terrible crush.

-

And that's it! It always feels kind of weird to see it all gathered in one place, like ... wow, that's not nearly as much as I thought it was. But at the same time, it involves a couple of pieces I feel very good about, so overall I'm going to take the win.

The most fun I had was doing my Small Fandom Summer thing, where I wrote fic for fandoms that had <1000 English-language works on AO3. Maybe I'll do that again next year!

Anyway, if you do wind up reading something, especially the original stuff, thanks. A lot of this can be a very lonely process, especially when there's not much of a built-in audience. Saying you liked something makes me feel a little less like I'm screaming into the void.

Onward to 2024!

Title: Xiao Xiaoge

Fandoms:  盗墓笔记 - 南派三叔 | The Grave Robbers' Chronicles - Xu Lei, 盗墓笔记重启 | The Lost Tomb Reboot (TV)

Relationships: Wang Pangzi/Zhang Qiling

Summary:  

Wu Xie holds out his hands to Pangzi and opens them.

Standing in the middle of Wu Xie’s palm is Xiaoge. And he still looks like Xiaoge. Everything about him is as it was. His hair is the same, the neutral expression on his face is the same, it’s just that he’s…

“Xiaoge, you’re tiny!”

How is Wu Xie so calm about this? This isn’t the way things usually go, especially where Xiaoge is concerned. Ever since he got out from behind the bronze door it’s Wu Xie that goes into panic mode if Xiaoge is out of their sight for more than a few hours.

“Why aren’t you panicking?” Pangzi asks, watching as Xiaoge does some of his training moves to test out his new clothing.

Wu Xie shrugs. “Xiaoge’s fine. He’s not hurt or sick or in danger. He’s just smaller.” He gets that gooey look in his eyes that he gets when they’re watching documentaries about foxes. “Besides, look at him. He’s so cute.”

Xiaoge presses his lips together in displeasure at being called cute, but that just makes him look even cuter.

Pangzi takes a breath. As much as he hates to admit it, Wu Xie is right. Xiaoge seems happy enough. But that doesn’t get around the problem of what he’s going to eat.

“I was going to make us some lunch,” Pangzi says because maybe Wu Xie will surprise him and have two good ideas in a row. “But Xiaoge is so small I have no idea what I can make for him that’ll give him all the nutrients he needs.”

“Bugs,” Xiaoge says from the table. He’s stopped training now and is looking up at them. “Very nutritious.”

Wu Xie already has his phone out and is tapping away happily as though this is a perfectly normal conversation to be having. “I bet there are pet stores that have some tasty bugs for Xiaoge to eat.”

“No!” Pangzi says. He must have been louder than he realised because Xiaoge clamps his hands over his ears. He needs to remember that Xiaoge’s tiny ears are more sensitive to loud noises now. “Sorry, Xiaoge, I didn't mean to shout.”

They’re not going to feed Xiaoge bugs like a pet snake. Yes, they’ve eaten worse than that when they’ve been underground and their rations have run out, but they’re home now. Besides, a cricket would be almost the same size as Xiaoge. Even an ant would be about the size of his forearm.

He’ll think of something. When he was young and poor he got skilled at making tasty dishes from whatever random ingredients he could scrounge up. This is just a different sort of challenge.
