Hi! Thanks so much for pointing me towards the screvenge tag the other day! I had a jolly time going through the fics 💕
I also wanted to let you know that I have indeed read your installment to the tag too, and that I absolutely loved it. The atmosphere you created was so addicting, and I really admired how you incorporated the canon-related events into the story. I really need an entire show of this with fifty episodes.
So thank you for the fic, it was wonderful, and thank you for the pointers! 🥰
I'm glad you had fun going through the screvenge tag! It's such a good tag. And I'm delighted you enjoyed my contribution to it! It’s very sweet of you to say. If that fic hadn't been for an event with a deadline, it very easily could have been a 100k+ monster.
However, I've posted over 525k for this fandom so far and have another 50k ready to post when the event deadlines come to pass, so I there's more than enough food out there to enjoy! And no one else is writing for the silverfox!JC tag or the werewolf!NHS tag, so I need to fill that niche!
I love your art, by the way! I think, like, half my queue is your art. XD

MDZS Dream
SCRevenge scenario
Cloud Recesses burns, Lotus Pier dies as in canon, the Jin side with the Wens. JC gets his core melted and gets released by WN, but the Jiangs never meet up again so WWX has no opportunity to give his core to JC. JYL gets captured and forcibly married to JZX, to give the Jins some claim over Lotus Pier (a bribe from the Wens). NMJ goes underground fighting against the Wens, ends up killing Wen Xu at some point. Rather than focus on NMJ, WRH decides to attack the Unclean Realm, reasoning that NMJ will have to give up once he has NHS.
Except it doesn’t actually work that way and NHS proves way more competent at defensive strategy than anyone ever expects. In the end, WRH has to reverse strategies, catching NMJ (with some assistance from MY) and using that to have NHS surrender.
Of course, despite having essentially conquered the entire cultivator area, doesn’t mean it’s all smooth sailing for WRH. For one, despite being the largest cultivator sect, the Wens have vastly overextended themselves. They can’t actually afford to replace all of the current administration, especially with people like LXC and WWX running a resistance against them. So NHS rules Qinghe Nie as the Wens viceroy, with the threat that if anything happens, NMJ will be the one to suffer for it.
That doesn’t stop him from coordinating with JYL and LXC, and becoming the mastermind behind the resistance (he even eventually gets WQ and WN on board), but there’s nothing WRH can actually trace back to him. Indeed, NHS sets it up so that WRH starts suspecting the Jins are behind the rebellion rather than anyone else, and JGS’s blatant power plays don’t help his cause.
At least part of this is due to getting MY to help the cause. NHS doesn’t fully trust MY since he betrayed NMJ (NHS gets at least one other spy, SMY maybe, into Nightless City.), but if MY protects NMJ from any permanent damage in the Fire Palace, NHS will force JGS to acknowledge MY at the end of the war. Except as time goes on, MY actually does get disillusioned and goes from wanting JGS approval to wanting him humiliated.
NHS meets JC along the way (although my dream didn’t tell me how). JC ends up splitting his time working as an assassin for NHS (swords yes, but also demonic cultivation) or as his bodyguard. They start a relationship along the way. JC really isn’t the leader of Yunmeng Jiang at this point (JYL has been recruiting like mad, and the survivors reluctantly admit that for a cultivation clan they’d rather have a weak cultivating woman for a leader rather than a non-cultivator man), so they actually make plans that if they both survive, JC will marry into the Nie Sect. A little something to look forward to.
Endgame starts with NHS going to visit WC. He brings JC with him (so that JC can scout out Nightless City), and it was a pretty funny scene because NHS dresses up JC as his female concubine. WC *squints* “You’re concubine looks an awful lot like the Violet Spider.”
NHS *breezily*: “She’s from Meishan Yu. With Yunmeng Jiang gone they’re kind of desperate for an ally. The Lans don’t do arranged marriages or concubines, everyone knows JGS has no problem abandoning his sex toys and there’s no way your father would you to have a potential assassin as a concubine. I think they’re hoping I marry her” *leers at JC* “Besides, whatever Madame Yu’s faults, no one ever said she was ugly.”
WC: “That’s true. Hey mind if I try her out for myself?”
NHS *shocked noises*: “WC, I’ve barely had a chance to taste her at all! Save me some face and at least wait a few months before asking. Besides, don’t your tastes usually run towards?” *makes hourglass gesture with his hands*
WLJ: “Exactly! No one that flat could compare to me!” *starts making out with WC to prove that point*
JC *extremely petty, also starts making out with NHS because he’s like that*
NHS *Pikachu face because he was absolutely not expecting to get any on this trip*
Opening move of the endgame was actually killing JGS, then puppeteering his body (JC’s demonic cultivation) to have the Jin sect attack the Wens. Stuff happens, JZX (both of them) die because unlike canon JYL never warms up to him again and has no problem with WWX offing her husband. Besides, she already has JL by this point and she’s going to keep him to be Yunmeng Jiang’s heir.
The rebellion wins, pretty much the same way with MY offing WRH form behind. Aftermath: WQ becomes new sect head (backed up by Qinghe Nie). However the Wens lose a lot of money and territory and are no longer a Great Sect. YJL takes JL back with her to Lotus Pier and she and WWX (assisted by LWJ) start rebuilding Lotus Pier. NMJ finally gets released from prison and goes back to the Unclean Realm, but he’s in no condition to take up a leadership role right away (MY might have arranged so NMJ never got permanently maimed or his core melted, but NMJ spent a great deal of time getting tortured), so NHS is stuck with it for now. Cloud Recesses also gets rebuilt (LXC and MY aren’t friends in this because NMJ was tortured for years by MY, and LXC can’t forgive that).
The Jins are the big problem. NHS has JGS legitimize MY as Jin Ziyao before the he ‘conveniently dies of a stress heart attack’ and now there’s a succession crisis on whether the next head should be JL or JZY. NHS backs JZY because he was helpful during the war, even though NHS is pretty sure this is going to be a problem along the line. Yunmeng Jiang (all three of them) also backs this decision because they really don’t want JL growing up in Koi Tower. This wasn’t resolved by the end of the dream.
Final plot point in the dream, as part of the reparations, WQ is offering to transfer the golden cores of the surviving Wen Sect cultivators (barring her and her brother) to anyone who got their core melted (no 50/50 here, WQ has had years to perfect the procedure and she’s going to be doing it in the best equipped room in the Fire Palace rather than some Supervisory Office in the middle of nowhere). Starting with Wen Zhuliu, who somehow survived all the way through the war but is now going to be executed. Dream ended with NHS encouraging JC to go through the procedure, even if it would mean that that would make JC the Yunmeng Jiang sect leader again and leave NHS alone.

@maderilien thank you so much for tagging me! 🥺💕
(i feel like this post got too long, so i'm going to put it under a read more 😅)
How many works do you have on AO3?
technically 47, but only 38 are available for reading right now.
What’s your total AO3 word count?
229706 words… a bit disappointing considering that i have been using my account since 2015 :/
How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?
hmm… i have written for more fandoms, but currently on my ao3 there are five different ones: yuri on ice, haikyuu!!, mo dao zu shi, scum villain, and word of honor. here's the complete list.
What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
1. unexpected cohabitation (svsss, lqg/sy)
2. For the sake of convenience (mdzs, nhs/jc)
3. and they were teammates… oh my god! they were teammates (mdzs, lwj/wwx)
4. #1 Dads (mdzs, gen)
5. Taste your beating heart (mdzs, lwj/wwx)
(kinda sad because i wrote a bunch of yoi fics and yet, there's no yoi fics here lol 😔)
Do you respond to comments, why or why not?
i always respond to comments! i don't get comments too often so i really appreciate it when people take a moment of their time to let me know what they think about my writing.
What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?
i don't like angsty endings so i don't write angsty endings lol… but i suppose some of my fics have endings that are more open and not completely happy like the one i wrote for the screvenge au zine: When midnight approaches (mdzs, nhs/jc).
Do you write crossovers? If so what is the craziest one you’ve written?
no, i really don't like crossovers so i have never written one 😩 i'm currently trying to change that by writing my first (and probably only) crossover ever, but it's definitely not a crazy one.
Have you ever received hate on a fic?
yes. i have gotten generic hate by a fandom troll that i don't care about, but also Real Hate that makes me want to cry sometimes 😔
Do you write smut? If so what kind?
i have written smut, but it's mostly to experiment with my writing and not because it's something i like to do lol so i don't do it often (like,, once or twice every couple of years). it's the kind of smut i, a very aroace person, am comfortable with, which means it's subtle and not very explicit lol.
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
yeah 😭 i haven't talked a lot about this (but i think i should lol), and i don't know if this counts exactly as having a fic stolen, but i still want to cry when i remember this and my writing was used without my permission, so in my book that's enough to call it stealing??
anyway, someone translated one of my fics (won't name the fic/fandom but it's one of the fics that i hold closer to my heart which makes this worse lol) without my permission, posted it, and then went off in the comments trying to explain my writing like they were the original author while they keep mentioning how much my fic hurt their eyes. i don't speak their language, so i don't know if they made changes to my fic, or something like that 😔 and i only noticed about this because someone else got in contact with me to ask for my permission to translate another one of my fics. afterward, i stated on twt and ao3 that i don't allow any kind of use of my writing without my permission and the translation was taken down, but now it's been a few months and it's back online 🙃 (i suppose they thought i forgot about this 😭).
Have you ever had a fic translated?
yes! last year a cold winter morning (mdzs, nhs/jc) [x] and and they were teammates… oh my god! they were teammates [x] got russian translations by kind people.
Have you ever co-written a fic before?
technically no, but i have planned a couple of fics with a friend before and even though i did all the writing, i still consider them a collaboration. i really want to co-write a fic with someone, though, i think it'd be an interesting experience lol.
What’s your all time favourite ship?
i don't know. my heart is big enough to love a bunch of ships with the same intensity ❤️ lol, but now that we're talking about my writing, i suppose it'd be fair to let my ao3 speak, so i guess these two are the top contenders:
iwaoi is not there, but also iwaoi.
What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?
i have a lot of wips that i don't think i'll ever finish for a lot of reasons. one of them is a non traditional soulmate au that i wanted to write because i don't like soulmate aus, but at the same time i don't like that idea enough to keep working on it, at least not right now.
What are your writing strengths?
according to former betas, my writing is easy to read and i am good at writing characters' feelings, so i guess those are.
What are your writing weaknesses?
i'm a sloooow writer, i'm not consistent, i avoid writing longfics, i'm bad at descriptions and struggle with dialogue… the list goes on.
What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?
in some cases i think it contributes positively to the fic! but in others it's just… too awkward, overused, and weird (don't want to generalize, but some writers only speak one language and it shows). in any case, italicizing dialogue and indicating it's a different language it's the most practical solution to do this and avoid mistakes.
personally, i have done both: include short sentences in languages i know with translations in the notes, and italicizing for languages i don't know or when the dialogue is long or doesn't influence the plot).
What was the first fandom you wrote for?
it was phineas and ferb way over a decade ago, back when i was only able to write in spanish because my english was terrible.
What’s your favourite fic you’ve written?
that's s difficult question because i can't pick favorites and i'm my #1 hater.
i still like Long yearning (mdzs, nhs/jc) a lot, it was the first fic i completed for the pairing and probably my best one. From sunset to daybreak (mdzs, gen) is also one of the best i've written? for yoi... i suppose Oh Hero! My Hero! (viktuuri + minor pairings) is not to bad even though it's not a Serious Fic™
