Linear LED Pendant Light with the Modern Solution in Lighting

A linear ceiling light is an excellent design for any room. A streamlined form allows it to provide uniform illumination. Long and slender, it serves well in kitchens, dining areas, offices, and hallways in residential spaces as well as commercial spaces. Linear ceiling lights make for a modern and minimalist look, which one would desire if they are looking to brighten the space without cluttering it with heavy fixtures.

I've a few little seasonal fics tucked away in my library, and I'm having fun making new card-style banners for them. Here's a little festive fic I wrote in 2022 for @geesenoises!

The Holly and the Ivy | E, 4.6k

Tags: EWE, non-linear, school flashbacks, Quidditch player Draco, castles, Dickens references, miscommunication, idiots in love, enemies to friends to lovers, Christmas, fluff, light angst, charity auctions

This year at the Annual Ministry Yule Auction, Magpies Seeker Draco Malfoy's time is up for sale. When Harry places the winning bid, will their contracturally-binding weekend together heal old wounds, or worsen them? Featuring a fluffy black cat called Marley, a castle on the western coast of Scotland, an Eighth Year Christmas kiss, and stupid boys who can't express their feelings.

Draco’s heart thudded loudly between his ears. Potter’s charm rippled over the minute space between the fabric of his clothes and the surface of his skin, bright and electric and alive. It felt like a touch he hadn’t forgotten but had instead left stored away somewhere in the recesses of his mind: wrapped snugly, well-hidden, for his eyes only. He shifted on the seats, watching Potter’s keen gaze travel the details of his uniform. Potter touched the tip of a finger to the edge of the number stitched onto Draco’s vest in shimmering silver thread. “A weekend isn’t a long time,” he said. “But—it could be like that Christmas—” Draco inhaled sharply. “Just give me the weekend,” Potter whispered. Behind them, London disappeared.

1. i hope it's okay to resend an ask from 3 years ago? 😅

(it's #2 on the first 'fics still missing'. there's a rec however i think that fic/the relevant scene was posted AFTER i sent the ask on may 2021 so it's probably not it, and i do not think it's 300k 😲 long!)

the only thing i still remember is that wen qing does a surgery to bring back wei wuxian's core, and the new core is from a wen prisoner who is set to be executed. the prisoner turns out to be wen yuan's bio dad, and he's willing.

i think there's another core surgery but as punishment? i may be mixing up fics since it's been a long time.

many thanks!!! @danmeireader

Might be worth checking it out as even if it's not the right one it's a good story

~*~

2. Hello! I am searching for one fic i read it was WIP i guess, in one particular scene there was sparing practice in cloud recesses school days, where someone tries to stab WWX but Jin Zixuan takes the blow near heart.. when Wen Qing with other healers arrive they find WWX's blood is compatible with Jin Zixuan that's how they become sworn brother with Nei Huisang too. idk but there was some other invention to secure swon brotherhood shared with JZX in front of JGS

I'm looking for a fic where wwx became jyl's personal healer and where he meets lwj at her wedding with lan xichen, when lwj accidently gets an approdisiac meant for the groom (to cause an incident???), so wwx has to help him out in his professional role and of course to save his shijie's wedding.

6. Hello! For fic finder, please! I am looking for a fic where instead of giving JC his own core, WWX knocks out a random Wen soldier and they use that guy’s core for the transfer. I think that the core was weak and throughout the remainder of the story JC was angry that his new core from “Baoshan Sanren” was so weak and puny. Does this sound familiar? Thank you!

7. Hi, thank you so much for all your hard work!!

I'm looking for two fics:

A) I think this one might have appeared in your blog and that's how I learned about it the first time. Modern AU Wangxian where they're retired/considering retiring figure skaters, and the fic is a series of them trying to have sex but something going wrong. At the end LWJ breaks/hurts his ankle really badly on the way to a cabin to have sex in Olympics gear, and then they get married.

B) WWX comes back in a random cultivator's body while LWJ is recovering from the discipline whip, and he sneaks into the Cloud Recesses to learn about A-Yuan. I think the cultivator gave his body up to WWX to punish him, and the curse mark on his arm becomes activated when he's happy, and it activates so badly it nearly cuts his arm off.

Thank you!

~*~

8. Hello! For the next Fic Finder, I'm looking for a modern AU, rated either Mature or Explicit, where Wei Ying and Lan Zhan end up stranded in a ski resort. It's just them, no one else. They end up getting together by the end of the story. I cannot recall if one person was injured, I think the answer is no but I could be wrong! Thank you!

12. Hello,

I'm looking for a fic that I read ages ago, but don't remember what website it was on. It had both wangxian and xicheng in it. So Lan Wangji and Lan Xichen reached immortality and now they are living in present time where everyone has reincarnated. Lan Wangji has custody of Lan Sizhui and I think Lan Jingyi as well but not sure about the latter part. Both of them attend high school where Wei Wuxian is a teacher (I think he just transferred to the school but am not sure). Jin Ling also attends school with them. Jiang Cheng takes care of him and he is a policeman. He does not talk to Wei Wuxian as he blames him for their sister death/bad medical state. I don't remember exactly which one it was. I also remember that Nie Mingjue is Jiang Cheng boss, Nie Huisang and Jing Guangyao are in the actor/entertainment business and Wen Ruohan is a villain in there @kyjrd

FOUND? monotone by seredemia which the author put on drive instead of ao3

~*~

13. Hello! I'm looking for match-making fic where Jin Zixuan (tired of wwx constantly interrupting family time with his wife and newly born son) decides the best way to get him out of the way is to matchmake him with someone. I think he tries Nie Mingjue mainly, because they have similar interests, etc.

Jiang Cheng also gets roped in, but he thinks Jin Zixuan is nuts the whole time. NMJ thinks Wei wuxian is definitely flirting with him at some point because his muscles get complimented? Lan Xichen has to reassure him that "no, he is just like that".

It's a comedy of errors mainly, because LWJ and WWX definitely have something going on between them, and it ends with them running off with horses to elope into the sunset or smth. Jiang Yanli doesn't know her husband's matchmaking scheme, but she does know about wwx and lwj and helps them elope at the end.

Pretty sure it was a short fic, ignores canon and occurs in a what-if scenario where the whole burial mounds situation didn't happen.

I'd be very grateful of you could help me find this! Thank you 😊 @indelibleme

FOUND! Marital Prospects by Vamillepudding (G, 18k, WangXian, Canon Divergence, Everybody Lives, Romantic Comedy, Misunderstandings, LWJ Needs a Hug)

14. I was reading a fic but I lost it. It was where wwx was frozen for I don't know how many years and they think. I think it was the lans? I think lwj was a doctor or archaeologist? A-yuan was his son there they were. There was a scene from wwx taking apart a mechanical pencil/pen and putting it back together and lwj is surprised by it. Lqr? He thinks wwx is not human lwj thinks otherwise and they locked him in a room @quwieiidkd

15. I'm looking for a fic that canon era WWX had ended up accidentally raising up a bunch of dinosaurs. The main thing I remember is that JC was talking with him about it and they were considering them different kinds of mythical creatures(I remember qilin and Fenghuang especially.) Though anything dinosaur and untamed is awesome. @bcaugust

FOUND? Fenghuan and Qilin by Ibijau (T, 544, JC & WWX, Dinosaurs, Demonic cultivation, undead dinosaurs, mdzs with dinosaurs)

~*~

16. Hiya, I'm wracking my brains trying tonfind a fic. The only part I really remember is that to rebuild their library's collection, Gusu Lan reached out to other sects, asking for texts to copy. I think the Jiang weren't originally for it (whether it was Jiang Cheng or Madam Yu and Jiang Fengmian vetoing it I can't remember), but Wei Wuxian tried to help. I think maybe Lan Wangji paid a visit to Lotus Pier, but again, I'm not sure.

~*~

17. Hello! I am looking for a specific fic that I have lost. It was a canon-divergent fic. In it Wei Wuxian ties decorative knots as something to keep his hands occupied while his mind runs. I think it was set primarily during the Yiling settlement days, because I remember he had a room/small house/workspace which had knots hung all over the walls. Although, my brain is also saying that this could have been a “WWX grows up on Baoshan Sanren’s mountain” au and his room could have been there. The knots are the unique detail I remember. Any clue? Thank you!

19. Good morning! I am looking for a fic where Wei Wuxian was captured by the Jin and given a false trial and he was punished by being hunted. He was set loose into the land surrounding Koi Tower and all the Jin disciples hunted him, but he managed to survive, decimate all the Jin disciples, and escape. I think it was a very short fic, but was possibly one piece in a longer series. Would love to read this again, thank you!

A story of twists, turns, hope, despair, and soul swords.

What is Transformational Trauma?

Trauma: a force that disrupts, distorts, and disorients. Yet, within its chaos, a flicker of transformation stirs. Transformational trauma isn’t about the event itself but the aftermath—a journey between despair and discovery. A paradox? Certainly. But in that duality lies the potential for renewal.

Unpacking Transformational Trauma

Imagine an experience so jarring it shakes the foundations of self. Trauma leaves its mark in shattered narratives and jagged new realities. Yet, from this upheaval, something—or someone—unexpected may emerge. This isn’t about simply “making the best of it.” It’s more nuanced, messy, and full of contradictions.

Post-traumatic growth (PTG) is the term often used. It’s not an endpoint but a process—a reshaping where pain becomes a catalyst for change.

Hallmarks of Transformation

Resilience The ability to keep going. It’s not about denying trauma but using its momentum to move forward. Think of a tree with deep roots that withstands the storm, bending but not breaking.

Heightened Awareness Trauma sheds light on our fears, flaws, and unspoken truths. In confronting these, clarity emerges. We come to know ourselves more fully.

Connection Bonds deepen. Superficiality fades. Trauma teaches empathy and the value of those who can sit with us in silence, share our grief, and celebrate our growth.

Meaning The elusive “why” behind trauma sometimes evolves into a “what now?” Purpose sharpens, urgency grows, and a new chapter begins—not because the old one ended but because it evolved.

The Journey (Messy, Unpredictable, Real)

There’s no clear path forward. Just steps—some forward, some sideways, some backward. Therapy can help. EMDR, somatic work, ACT, and parts work are tools—ways to explore trauma without getting entirely lost.

And self-compassion? Essential. Progress isn’t linear, and setbacks happen. But kindness towards oneself—that soft yet steady force—keeps the journey moving.

EMDR: Reprocessing Trauma at Its Core

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) offers a structured, evidence-backed way to address trauma. By engaging the brain’s natural processing systems through guided eye movements or other bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps individuals revisit traumatic memories in a safe and controlled manner. These memories, often locked in the mind’s recesses, are reprocessed to reduce their emotional intensity and rewrite their narrative in a more adaptive light.

For many, EMDR isn’t just about revisiting pain; it’s about liberation. It’s about transforming those fragmented memories into coherent stories, ones that no longer hold the same grip over daily life. EMDR doesn’t erase trauma but creates a pathway to integrate it—freeing individuals to live without the weight of the past.

Brainspotting: Unlocking the Body’s Wisdom

Brainspotting is another powerful alternative to EMDR that can offer deep healing from trauma. By identifying “brainspots”—specific eye positions linked to unresolved trauma—this therapy accesses the subcortical brain where deeper healing occurs. Unlike traditional talk therapy, Brainspotting allows the body’s innate wisdom to lead the way.

Clients often describe the process as profoundly intuitive. With the guidance of a trained therapist, they access and process buried emotional pain, often uncovering insights that defy words. Brainspotting honors the mind-body connection, emphasizing that healing isn’t just cognitive; it’s holistic.

The Balance Between Pain and Potential

Let’s not oversimplify. Pain doesn’t magically transform into wisdom. It takes effort—sometimes exhausting work. Scars don’t disappear; they become part of the story, visible reminders of survival and growth.

Transformation isn’t guaranteed. For some, trauma’s weight remains heavy. For others, it’s less about transcendence and more about learning to live alongside loss. Both paths are valid and deserve respect.

Transformational trauma resists tidy conclusions. It’s raw, uneven, and unpolished. But that’s its strength. It doesn’t promise escape from pain but a way to integrate it—to let it shape but not define us. To turn what was unthinkable into something… if not beautiful, then meaningful.

Why Choose Linear Lights for Luxury Villas?
