This is a rewrite of a prior generic prompt/ask by @antique-forvalaka, first posted here. I’m back to offer this tentative new version to the hanwenzhou mutuals and han ying stans alike.
"That was unkind."
Han Ying is trying to untie the sodden laces of his bracers. His fingers are numb, and beneath the swaddle of his drenched travel cloak, he trembles from the frigid air. At the sound of Wen-xiong's voice, his spine snaps straight even as it wants to bow under the weight of apology.
For two heartbeats, all Han Ying registers is the steady drip of his clothes against the wooden floor. The room beyond Wen-shixiong is lit with the warm glow of several braziers, casting his expression into shadow. Han Ying feels suspended on the moment. When his shixiong steps forward, he jerks at the movement.
"Give it here," Wen-shixiong is saying, hands reaching for him. Han Ying sways back, and the shadow freezes.
"G-?" his tongue is heavy in his mouth, words clumsy as they fight past the chilled fog lingering in his body, his brain.
"Your armour." Wen-xiong says, frown now visible as they both stand close in the half-light. He reaches again, for Han Ying's forearms. Han Ying tracks the movement passively, feeling distant from the way Wen-xiong sucks in a harsh breath at the cold leather beneath his fingers. His bracers thunk to the floor and Han Ying shivers as he's stripped of their protection. The frown creasing Wen-xiong's forehead deepens. He reaches for Han Ying's hands, his wrists, then up to cup his cheek, pushing aside the loose strands of hair dripping rivulets down his face. Han Ying blinks sluggishly, shuddering now underneath his cloak.
"A-Ying," Wen-xiong says, "you're-" cold.
It's okay, Ying-er wants to say. I'm used to being cold.
Cold flights through the night.
Cold vigils on a snowy mountainside.
Cold stakeouts, cold refuges, cold homes.
The weight of his sodden clothes bear down into his bones. But then Wen-xiong pulls back, and Ying-er almost stumbles until he realises his cloak is gone from his shoulders and there is an arm around his waist urging him forward into the warm glow of the room beyond.
He stumbles over the mats, two pairs of hands pulling at his ruined clothes until he is bared to the warmth of the fire.
"Ying'er," his Zhuangzhu murmurs, pressing his fingers to his pulse and feeling the slow and steady beat of his radial artery. Ying'er sways with each thud of his heart, his Lord's hands strong and warm around his wrists, his shoulders.
He's not sure when he got into the bath, or when it was pulled, or how long he trembled in Zhou Zishu's arms. Thought returns to him first in sensations: the warmth of his body, his arms and his hands. The heated flush of his cheeks, the sweat on his brow. The tingling of his scalp as his hair cascades down over his shoulders, released from its tight bun. As his body finally relaxes into the warmth that surrounds him, he feels the fatigue of the last two weeks settle into his aching limbs. He heaves his first deep breath, and lets his head thunk against the rim of the tub. He groans in pain.
There is a comb being pulled through his clean hair. It pauses.
Ying'er doesn't open his eyes as he says, "I'll apologise to Zhang-di. I didn't mean to be so harsh."
"Good," Xing-ge says, resuming the gentle drag of the comb through his wet hair. "After you have slept, and return a clean plate at breakfast."
Ying'er nods, and gathers his limbs beneath him to rise from the tub. He accepts Xing-ge's offered arm as he steps gingerly from the bath - noticing, as he does, that it is cloudy with minerals and scattered with herbal garnishes to warm qi. "Am I to be tomorrow's breakfast?" he asks, his face stretching tiredly into what feels like his first genuine smile in weeks.
Xing-ge tuts at him, and attempts to swaddle him in a square of dry cloth, patting the water droplets from his naked body. "You've worried A-Xu," he says. It confirms Ying'ers suspicions, and warms his heart even as it sinks a little. "He's left a tonic."
"Then I shall bid him goodnight before I retire to bed," he says.
Wen-xiong stops fussing, the earlier frown returning to his face. "A-Ying-"
"-Shixiong," Han Ying says, turning to him as he pulls on his linen underclothes, "Thank you. I appreciate your help. I can dress myself from here."
Wen-shixiong looks as though he may protest, but nods. He moves towards the door, but stops short. "A-Ying-"
"I know," Ying'er says. "I appreciate all he gives me. It would be sinful to ask for more."
His tone makes it clear that it is the end of the conversation, and Wen-xiong's silence is equally dispondent.
"Make sure you eat, xiongdi," Wen-shixiong says as he retreats from the room, content that A-Ying's brazers are lit and he is fully cognizant after his chill. "I will load your plate at breakfast myself."
"Yes, Da-shixiong," A-Ying smiles. "Goodnight."
When he climbs into bed a few minutes later, the moon high in the sky, Ying-er is warm enough. The tonic brew is warming on his tongue and down into his chest, but he finds he is too tired to bid his Lord goodnight.
He will rise early tomorrow, and find Chengling in the kitchen, to apologise for his harsh words.

Throwing some fanfic promo here because why not!!! This is a two-fanfic series of modern wenzhou! Includes a cheap motel, found family feels, ONLY ONE BED and eventually a married epilogue <3
Part first: with you from dusk
T-rated, 6474 words, early relationship unresolved tension!!
Wen Kexing moves quietly and confidently even in the dark room. He opens his bag, closes it again, puts it away. Then he slips under his blanket, the mattress dipping and shifting underneath him before he finds a comfortable position. He stops moving eventually, his breath slowing down. For a moment, Zhou Zishu thinks that this will be it and he’s- disappointed. Relieved. He wants nothing. He hasn’t wanted anything for a long time.
Part two: you’re a part of the dawn
T-rated, 8362 words, honeymoon!!! they’re IN LOVE
“If you only took me for a short ride, I’m sure that your time wouldn’t be wasted...”
“Not interested,” Zhou Zishu says, locking his phone and slipping it into his pocket before the content of the screen can be seen. “I’m married.”
Whatever terrible pick-up line was there next on Wen Kexing’s tongue, this at least blessedly makes him forget it. The silence lasts for about two seconds it takes Zhou Zishu to glance at his stupid love-stricken face and hit the window-closing button.
Also both parts have podfic versions made by ao3 user clmoryel, you can find them HERE!
And to make it more fun it also has a PLAYLIST!

Summary: Lao Wen never expected that there could be someone who would murmur his name like that. But his A-Xu always murmured his name with something too close to awe and adoration. It warmed his heart, healed his soul and chased away everything that ever tormented him in his life.
As if he cannot resist he dives back in, kissing his lips, absorbing his own name that was about to take shape on A-Xu’s lips. When they part once again, Wen Kexing doesn’t move - he gazes at his beloved, knowing he will not have another opportunity to do so.

Okay I've read the main body of SVSSS. I think it's really good as a meta parody and gives some interesting insight into MXTX's mind- I think some of the criticism of her work is unfair and this book is a pretty good example in parts (the running commentary about misogyny in stallion novels is a lot more unambiguous than her accurately depicting misogyny in others wirks like MDZS, though I don't understand why the latter gets read as an indication of her as a person).
However I don't think it works well as a romance story. There are main two problems; one,that while all of MXTX's main characters are people that have gone through the wringer and lashed out on others because of it, sometimes in really grusome and reprehensible ways, we get to see who they are not just before it goes to shit, but after they've acted in a such a way and either by intentional choice or just the passing of time, behave in a kinder and more upright manner. SVSSS's main story ends right after LBH isn't being an antagonistic force driven to the pits. Additionally, LBH is (understandably) a very misanthropic character which makes the way you'd show him learning how to be a person not driven by grief, fear, and anger different.
The other point is SY/SQQ's internalized homophobia is handled in a way that distracts somewhat from his feelings for LBH, and this combines with a lot of the things taken as romantic by other characters being misinterpretions of his internal world. Some of the latter seems to be him bullshitting himself though- "I'm not crying because I'm facing down my beloved student who I've failed horribly and hates me before I off myself without knowing for sure if my contingency plan will work, the sun's just in my eyes", sure Jan. Given how WWX acts its clear that MXTX now knows how to balance internalized homophobia with the character falling in love even if he doesn't realize it, and TGCF doesn't really have internalized homophobia on the protagonists part as far as I've read, he's just a sworn virgin. (However one could argue HC had some issues when he was human depending on how you read the Land of the tender scene).
SVSSS is short compared to her other works, and while I'm not sure how one would do it, having us spend some time with LBH and SQQ after they've gotten rid of his evil sword and SQQ is helping him work through his misanthropy, desire for control, and abandonment issues would improve their relationship from a story perspective, especially because of how obsessive and unhealthy LBH has spent... 8 years of his life regarding SQQ. There's already a foundation with LBH taking SQQ back to his home peak to be taken care of after his near death experience and leaving alone when he gets chased off, and SQQ choosing to go with him with no pressure on him to do so other than LBH's wellbeing (which is no longer tied to things like the apocalypse). I just think there needs to be a bit more between that and what I'm reading in the extras so far.
And it is needed because of how much LBH's dark behavior was directed at SQQ. WWX's dark behavior wasn't so targeted, LWJ's had an instance of targeting but a large part of the novel has been about him doing his best to respect WWX's boundaries and not repeat his parents relationship. I'm not up to snuff on what happened after XL's first banishment yet so I'll keep quiet on that. LBH is so desperate for this one person's affection that he almost destroys the world to ensure he has no other choice but him (and they have terrible fuck or die sex that no one enjoys about it). Evil sword possession making him decide this was a good idea or no, to work as a satisfying romance story, you need to after of all that. Especially because the evil sword had the ability to push him that far because of how chaotic and wrecked his mental and spiritual state were. They're still wrecked.
#Cipher talk#SVSSS#Just thoughts. Overall I like the novel- I think SQQ's internal monologue is hilarious and the comedy is decent#But the romance aspect needs workshopping#I think one way to work this in with a Main plot might be to revisit SHL's father causing trouble#Like that didn't get dropped exactly but you could have him trying to take advantage of the post 'oh gods we're all still alive' mindset to#Cause chaos at the borderlands or have him trying to take advantage of LBH taking a power hit from not using his evil sword anymore#Have SQQ accompany him while dealing with it#Maybe have it be a campaign where we see more of LBH's other aides and have part of it be LBH learning to actually have relationships with#Them and not suspect everyone 100% hates him for being half human half demon. The value of not acting like a monster even if it's expected#Hell maybe have his relationship with SHL improve so they're not romantic but he's not holding her in such contempt#Or make her turn traitor because of his contempt for her#Thereby expanding the theme about women not just being harem collectibles by having her have a platonic relationship with him or by having#Her take logical actions instead of just sticking to LBH like glue for ??? Reasons#I could write this but I have several wips already and I don't feel well versed enough in Chinese culture to write fanfic for it#(Or any of MXTX's works. It's not about feeling not allowed to its about wanting to pay respect to the work#And wanting to do it in a way I'll be satisfied with)

For all that he knows A-Xu, there are still some things about Zhou Zishu that Wen Kexing finds hard to understand.
Sometimes, for all that he wheedles and pouts at his husband, he cannot successfully divert his attention from whatever it is that is causing A-Xu to frown at his latest correspondence from Qi Ye or push the disciples an extra round.
The disappointment, paired with a small, shameful inadequacy he will never admit to, settles into his stomach, and he will slink off to the kitchen or out into the hills high above the manor, so that he can feel close to the feared Ghost Master he once was.
Until dutiful Han-xiongdi comes to find him.
“Zhou-furen,”* he calls with some curl of humour in his voice, alighting on the slope next to the man who shares his devotion to his Lord. “Your husband and your charges are hungry, and you have left poor Zhang-di in charge of the kitchen again. The men fear a strictly vegetarian menu after such rigorous training session, and I, for one, would really like to have some filling meat tonight.”
Han Ying sketches off a playful bow, and Wen Kexing really has to wonder at the ease Ying’er has finally been displaying lately. He thinks about making some innuendo - his younger lover has set the wordplay up so cordially, and there is that newish, teasing pout to Han Ying’s lips that Wen Kexing finds he craves so much lately in his growing tenderness for the other man.
But his heart just isn’t in it.
Kexing turns back to the view, the grey clouds that are rolling in over the meadows, bringing the scent of petrichor and fresh grass on the climbing wind. The anticipation of rain is sharp in the air, and the once-Ghost Valley Master finds himself leaning into it with a heavy sigh.
Han Ying’s hand brushes his elbow, then, bold and sure where his next words are surprisingly hesitant.
“I envy you,” Ying’er murmurs quietly as he slips an arm around Kexing’s waist, trying to smother the sudden confession into the collar of the other man’s robes. Wen Kexing jerks in surprise, but Han Ying’s arms tense as he steels himself - “You’ve seen parts of him that i will never see, have a history with him that I will never know. But I am happy he has you to help him through it.”
Something bitter sticks in Kexing’s throat. “Han-xiongdi-” he says.
“You are a comfort to him,” Han Ying continues, pulling himself in closer, his nose cold from the chill in the air as it presses against the hinge of Kexing’s jaw. “I see it, everyday. You bring the light back to his eyes.”
It’s too sudden, too much.
“A’Ying,” Kexing croaks, his eyes hot and wet. His hand rises to grasp Han Ying’s forearm, slung around his chest. He recalls, with a further flush of hot shame, how little he thought of his xiongdi, of A-Xu’s precious Ying’er, just mere months ago. “I-”
He feels Han Ying shake his head, and press himself further into Wen Kexing’s back. “Xing-ge,” he mumbles, embarrassed at the endearment even as it spills from his lips, “come home?”
*title of Zhou-furen lovingly appropriated from @fractured-ice’s hanwen fic “spark to a flame” on ao3. Hope you don’t mind, lovely 🙏

He gathers his mask firmly in place – he knows how to play this game.
“On your knees,” he tells Wen Kexing, a sliver of a knife’s edge in his voice.
Wen Kexing folds and kneels at his feet. Up close, Zhou Zishu can see the way his long lashes brush against the dark bruises under his eyes, expertly hidden with makeup. His lips are tinted as red as his robes.
Zhou Zishu catches the underlying currents of his own want and lets his arm flow with it, raising his hand to the man’s porcelain face. He presses his thumb to the soft swell of Wen Kexing’s lower lip, plush. Wen Kexing’s gaze flickers upwards and their eyes meet, and the mouth beneath Zhou Zishu’s finger stretches into a coquettish smile.
In a world where slaves denote status, Zhou Zishu is given a slave he never wanted but cannot refuse.

my first concrete mingling thought and it’s that, for whatever hand-waved reason, sha hualing keeps getting tailed by liu mingyan who is so pretty annoying and keeps trying to fight and capture her or whatever but it’s okay bc each time ling-er is sooo clever and escapes >:)
and meanwhile liu mingyan spent like 5 years watching her brother get his ass beat by luo binghe repeatedly and she’s like “ok but what if i did that on purpose” and goes to find sha hualing like once a week
#this is a shitpost disclaimer etc etc etc#just shl bitching abt how annoying and strong and pretty and annoying lmy is every week to lbh and mbj#and every like tuesday at 6:42pm exactly lmy is like ‘i gotta go fight shl’#and all the other fanfic writing lesbians are like ‘godspeed’#i haven’t finished scum villain yet but i feel like this is basically what goes on at xianshu peak
