Only the moon And the promise we made Remains unchanged.

While waiting for Wei Wuxian to reincarnate, Lan Wangji reminisces: A modern day AU.

#so beautiful #fic inspiration

Ch. 21 of Words are Gonna Bleed from Me is up!

“Aren’t you supposed to be at a funeral?” Wei Wuxian asks. The LanlingJin soldier holding his right arm smacks him for it, but not before he catches what looks like fear flashing in Meng Yao’s eyes. Meng Yao turns to someone and snaps, “Why is he still allowed to speak?” Fuck. ~Or: The trap snaps shut, catching far more than Wei Wuxian is prepared to lose.

second round edits complete! up just over 10k words now. one last round, but it's looking pretty ready.... <3

ch 21 is DRAFTED! first draft coming in at a little over 9k words. time for several round of edits <3

#my in-laws were in town over the weekend and then i had to take a quick business trip #now i'm super sick (but not from traveling! from coming home which /sucks/) #but we're still cruising through it :) #also wife helped me build the tension out better and she was maybe crying a little during her readthrough this morning #because once again this ch is mean on purpose

The one lesson he took to heart, at the cost of himself.

#yes to all of this #except #i feel like it's less about wwx's sense of self-worth which we very often attribute it to #(i do all the time) #and more about 'i can take it' #wwx wants to protect his siblings and can and will do anything he thinks is necessary to do so #but not out of a sense of 'they're more important than me' or 'i don't matter' #but rather 'i will take this pain/suffering/hardship because i know i can and it will ease their burden' #'i have suffered before and i will suffer again but they shouldn't have to' #that's his whole excuse re: the core swap #jc is suffering and i can take his place and survive #yunmeng siblings #wei wuxian #the untamed

haters gonna see you command a zombie army with your dark magic flute and complain that you don’t have a sword

ok before i fall asleep i want to get something out of my system. there is this parallel I've been thinking about, a certain combination of characters that we meet twice in the story:

- the blind man. he's righteous and upright. the blind man loves the murderer and believes that he knows him better than anyone else, both the good parts and the bad parts.

- the murderer. he loves the blind man, as genuine as he can. he sincerely shows the blind man his real face, just not all of it. he loves the blind man, but not enough to stop being the murderer.

- the pretender. they know who the murderer really is, but pretend to be blind to survive. telling the truth to the blind man is risking too much, so they're waiting patiently to lead somebody else to the murderer.

even the endings of both stories are kinda similar. the murderer dies, the blind man's soul shatters.

ps. just realised there is a 4th character, who loves the blind man, but loses to the murderer, and gets turned into a fierce corpse or vengeful spirit or both. he gets to make the final strike when the murderer is defeated.

anyway. fun. good night!

About the AO3 "No Guest Comments for a while" warning

If you're not following any of AO3's social media accounts you might be in the dark as to what kind of "spam comments" have engendered this banner at the top of the site:

These spam comments have been posted about a great deal on the AO3 subreddit for the past couple of days. Initially they comprised a bunch of guest (logged out users) bot comments that insulted authors by suggesting they were using AI and not writing their own fics. Some examples, from the subreddit:

But it then escalated to outright graphic porn images and gifs being posted in comments, again by logged out 'Guest' accounts. Obviously, I'm not going to give examples of those, but between these two bot infestations, AO3 has clearly decided to act and has temporarily closed the ability to post comments for users who are not logged in with an AO3 account.

Unfortunately, this means that genuine readers who don't have an AO3 account won't be able to leave comments on fics that they enjoy.

If you are a genuine reader who doesn't yet have an AO3 account, I strongly suggest getting yourself on the waiting list for one. More and more AO3 authors are now locking their fics down to registered users only - either due to these bot comments or concerns about AI scraping their work - which means you're probably missing out on a lot of great stuff.

Hopefully guest commenting will be enabled again at some point soon, but I suggest not waiting until then. Get yourself on that list.

Wait times are going to be longer than usual at the moment, due to the current Wattpad purge [info on Fanlore | Wattpad subreddit thread], but if you're in line, then your invite will come through eventually.

Update: There's now a Megathread about this on the AO3 subreddit.

#i have a few codes left if you need them #all my fics are already locked #ao3
