It’s my Sunshot Campaign fic’s anniversary, Before the Sun Sets, so I’m suffering with feelings trapped on the battlefield that I need to ramble about. This beautiful Chengzhan Sunshot Campaign piece I commissioned from @rounove is too big for this site, but please look at a cropped version.
The full image in all its low-res beauty and me gushing about things below:
I always enjoy taking the opportunity to gush about all the details in artworks. Like, obviously I’m forever in love with my otp’s expressions here. Jiang Cheng’s cheek was cut in battle, narrow escape situation for our beloathed companions, and after they found the illusion of shelter, they can take care of any injuries. Lan Wangji is focused on this, completely, diligently, and wipes the blood away so carefully, leaning close. Jiang Cheng, sitting on this tree, sore and in pain, stares up at this unscathed, seemingly radiating face and appears to feel a different kind of ache. His expression murders me every time, he’s fighting a battle he’ll lose here, reaching up to cup Lan Wangji’s face with his bloodstained hand. AH! And what does Lan Wangji see and feel, with his eyes trapped on Jiang Cheng’s mouth, with his lips already parting, when he should take care of the wound? AH!
Jiang Cheng’s hand with Zidian on it already found a resting place on Lan Wangji’s thigh, a trail of blood left where it ran up from his knee. Steadying Lan Wangji as he leant in to look at the injury? Pulling, perhaps? All the white, so pristine robes draping over Jiang Cheng’s purple robes makes me feel all the things. Lan Wangji is a protective cloud brighter than anything in this moment. AH!
Their swords resting next to them, a mirror of their positions. Sometimes I just love to stare at the swords, all the details, the small, delicate patterns on the sheaths, the ruffled, soft looking tassels. Bichen would slip to the forest ground if Sandu weren’t steadily holding it up. And Sandu is safely shielded by Bichen. AH!
And the background! The rainy darkness that followed them to this spot to haunt or shield them, down a river that looks like spilled ink rippling the reflection of the trees. And this ancient, magnificent tree that keeps them dry from the rain with those thick leaves. AH!
I just love falling into this picture and thinking of how they ended up here. The pain, the suffering, the brushes of skin and fleeting touches that lead to them literally falling into each other’s warmth here. Now kiss!

Not a single word he said to her was a lie in this conversation. He was being completely genuine. His words of comfort to her are always the absolute truth.

Seiji smiling bc of Nicholas is something I knew I needed and now I have it.
Seiji NOT frowning even. I mean I don't think you're aware of how of a big deal that is.
Just for the 4 last pages all the volumes is worth it.

Mutual pining is the best. 'We held hands but not on purpose' and 'they wiped the chocolate off my lips' and 'we accidentally knocked legs together' and 'are they blushing?!!' and 'my friends tell me that they are so obviously into me, but they are SO wrong (I hope they're not)' and 'I wish we could see each other during the holidays (please tell me it's not platonic)' and 'secretly stealing glances and blushing/brushing it off when caught' and finally 'omg!! We're kissing!'

Ngl I sometimes have moments when I’m like “maybe we truly are hallucinating buddie” but then I think about “you can have my back any day”, “you two have an adorable son”, “there’s no one I trust more with my son than you”, “wanna go for the title?”, the live stream comments on how they should be a couple, the lawsuit era, the will, the domesticity, the couch, 3 minutes and 17 seconds, the way they look at each other, the parallels between them and canon couples, and all the other stuff that I can’t think of rn cause there’s literally so many. Like I’ve never seen a ship do it like buddie they’re one of a kind
