Summary:

Song Lan finds Xiao Xingchen both much sooner and far too late. Xiao Xingchen is not alone. (AKA Xue Yang haunts Xiao Xingchen, extremely literally and very enthusiastically)

Notes:

Written for constitutiondumpstat for the @sxx-exchange. Prompt was for Xue Yang to die before the events of Yi City and for SongXiao to encounter his ghost - and I took it from there (with a few liberties).  

So grateful for both the amazing prompt and the stated freedom for me to make it as dark or disturbing as I want! And of course thank you to my beloved beta @veliseraptor

on a narrow road | The Untamed

Summary:

Three cultivators wake up in the middle of nowhere with no memory of who they are or how they got there.

Under the assumption that they were companions before, they band together to figure out what happened and who they were - in themselves, and to each other.

Notes:

Reveals time!!! My @sxx-exchange fic for @spacejailed; thank you for an excellent prompt with an idea I had somehow never considered.

I have actually never written an amnesia fic like this before, so it was very fun to pick up that prompt of yours and run off with it. Thank you for the opportunity, and I hope you enjoy the result. I ended up working with a CQL timeline, but ignoring the relationship of the main cast to events as shown in the show, and my sense of characters and their background is deeply informed by novel canon.

With thanks to the mods for the exchange for putting this together every year and making it happen (the most wonderful time of the year, truly) and to @orodrethsgeek for taking on a sizeable editing job on a short timeline.

Trinity

Word count: 51,826

Summary: Xue Yang's entire stance froze the moment he laid eyes on Song Lan. He kept his head turned towards him, whilst his eyes went blown wide. His grin, though, that twisted smile Song Lan really wished he could punch repeatedly, that one stayed, growing even wider, eerie. Impossibly still. Xue Yang let out one singular strained laugh before his expression turned … wrong. « Oh fuck. »

Or of how Song Lan is led to what he thinks is a simple mountain village without knowing he has booked a ticket straight to finding out that Xue Yang is still alive and it eventually ends up with the most uncharacteristic duo working together to restore Xiao Xingchen's broken soul.

(author's note under the cut)

A/N: Hi! Welcome to the biggest project I ever wrote somehow, this is both my first mdzs fic and my first time participating in an event like this so this was all very exciting from start to finish! I wanted to give a huge shoutout and big thanks to the organizers and moderators for making this happen, your work has been incredible <3 Huge round of applause to my wonderful beta reader @star-crossed-shipper as well, who pretty much saved me in extremis, you're the best (from ao3)

WOOO I completely forgot to put this on tumblr as well, ngl I'm still a bit obsessed with this universe and I am daydreaming about a little sequel mostly based on the next gen kids idk, I'm going crazy. Anyways if any of this intrigues you go check it out :3 make a lil guy happy <3 Stay tuned for more sxx content (very VERY slowly coming to you. sorry bout that)

[worldoshaking]

Here’s my fic for @sxx-exchange!

Winter’s Gate, 6k, rated M

Song Lan never saw the face of the man whose hands left marks of frost on his soul, and so he joins Xue Yang on a quest to seek him out. They make their way through the snowy mountains to the heart of winter, where the fabled bringer of frost lives.

[prince-liest]

Happy SXX Exchange! >:D This is my fic for the @sxx-exchange​, written for my giftee, @FluteNoisess, and my first MDZS fic! Please mind the tags on this one! Someone gave me a great idea and I am going to see if I can write a second chapter later. >:)))

Chapter 55 - Swords Raised At A Hundred Ghosts of Heaven Has A Road But No One Walks It is up! :D

It's a sad thing to die alone far from home, Xiao Xingchen had told the old villager earlier, because he knew it was.

But unlike the poor old nameless woman laid to rest under that little roadside shrine, he had never been forgotten. Three wraiths ravaged by grief and longing had remained at his side all those long years, never forgetting, never leaving, never letting go. Loving him, even after everything, a love so powerful and overwhelming it still almost felt like too much sometimes.

He wanted to believe that it could be enough, living this new life for them as much as for himself, a second chance to do better, try even harder to get things right this time around. Letting himself love more, not less, love without doubts or shame or restraints – because the most painful and precious lesson he'd learned from his first life was that almost anything could be worthwhile as long as there was also love.

------------------

Early Happy Chinese New Year!

I've made it my soft New Year's resolution to finish Heaven this year - and you can help it happen! All comments, tags, asks and general encouragement is what helps me stay on track and keep writing!

This is the next to last chapter of this arc, then we're hitting the final arc of the story! The writing's slow, but it's happening!

Forgotten what happened previously in Heaven Has A Road? Not to worry, there's a handy guide of brief chapter summaries to help you refresh your memory!

Also, in case you missed it - one reason this chapter took longer than usual is because I participated in the SongXueXiao Exchange again this winter and wrote a brand new 50k canon divergence Yi City time travel/time loop fic with lots of angst, a little humour, some fluff and a tearjerky happy ending! Feel free to check it out here: Under The Wheel

Thank you, everyone who's still here! Your encouragement is everything. I love you guys. 💚

Summary:

When Song Lan finds Xue Yang with Xiao Xingchen, he goes straight for the kill. A-Qing gets in the way.

Notes:

My gift for @silvysartfulness for my favorite fic exchange, the SongXueXiao exchange! Thank you so much for the wonderful prompt. Thank you also to my beloved @veliseraptor for betaing and encouragement and, of course, to the incredible mods at the @sxx-exchange.

[brawlite]

for the ask game (whichever ones you want to answer):

Top 5 vegetables

top 5 story ideas you wish you had time to write

top 5 places you’d like to visit

top 5 wtf moments your favorite OC got into

ugh i want to answer ALL of these, but the first is just so deeply compelling. i love veggies, so it's hard to pick, but i have done my best:

artichoke

gai lan

ramps

shishito peppers

lima beans

as for top 5 story ideas i wish i had some time to write, here are some longfic ideas i have floating around in my head. some i've had for over a real long time now. they're fun to toy with, to roll over in my mind until they're smooth like a river stone.

a babylon 5/mdzs crossover with telepaths and songxuexiao, with xue yang being a telepath who is on the run and song lan as a psi corps cop tasked with tracking him down.

a deeply intricate post ca:tws winterhawk story where clint is holed in in a safehouse somewhere and bucky hunts him down and asks for his help in exchange for information on phil coulson's whereabouts. loops in some early agents of shield stuff and is kind of an around-the-world casefic.

currently i'm toying with the idea of a x-files au where krycek runs into mulder in a bdsm club. some horrible things ensue.

a very strange omegaverse (i don't even really like omegaverse) fma:b au where roy is a late-presenting omega and edward is an alpha. i feel like this would mostly just be self-indulgent identity misery more than it would ever be porn.

i have a kylux scp!au partially written. i think about it sometimes, bc i love the vibe (no one is having a great time) and the universe (so spooky, so strange, so governmental) so much.
