Just a lot of angst for you all

Feng Xing who calls Mu Qing servant and means undeserving.

Mu Qing who calls Feng Xing oathbreaker and means useless.

FengQing who know each other as failures and whisper traitor between blows. Burning with hate and desperation as neither is sure what happened to Xie Lian and had expected the other to be the one to remain by His Highness' side if push came to shove.

FengQing who only stops after Jun Wu informs them they've missed Xie Lian's second ascension. FengQing who are told they're embarrassing their old master and ruining his already damaged reputation by acting this way.

FengQing who are ashamed into acting like proper Gods. FengQing who rebuild themselves from nothing, keeping in mind Xie Lian's honor.

FengQing who as time passes lose their hope of ever seeing Xie Lian again, his memory feeling like sand between their fingers.

Feng Xing who becomes General Nang Yan.

Mu Qing who becomes General Xuan Zhen.

FengQing who the moment they find Xie Lian again throw their roles as Protectors of the South to the side so they can return to their prince's side.

“I want to take someone back to the cloud recesses… take him back and hide him.”

Day 8: Heartbreak

I know similar themed drawings have been done before but- man. Jiang Cheng just makes me so sad sometimes. He was so young when everything went down I still kinda want to reach out and give him a hug and tell him that things will work out eventually.

Wife can't walk? I must carry him on my shoulders and run like my life depends on it. Why? Wife said so.

Wife forgot lunch? I must bring wife his lunch and a raincoat or he'll get sick.
