Thanks @laireshi​ for tagging me.

Generally in chronological order, including some short things. Also this does look like I started writing three months ago, but I’m not including the one fic I posted four years ago even if it is DMBJ because I’ve done so many things between then and when I started posting again and I can’t be bothered to scrounge them up.

Patterns-wise I think I generally don’t go for strong opening lines? I keep whatever got me started on a fic, probably because recently I haven’t been spending a lot of time dwelling over my fic thoughts before pumping one out and just posting it. For example, Debt is an exception, because I’d played around with the idea for quite a while before I decided it was something I could write and post. Or some of the short ones, because I cut out the boring parts and go straight to the action (well, "action” by my standards. They don’t even kiss)

Gotta go with Guanyin for my favourite opening line. Doesn’t make much sense outside of context, but after reading the fic and coming back to it it really hits different. Runner’s up maybe my Yantou fic for how romantic it is. Pingxie is obviously a slow-burn ship, and even things like Keping and Yanping it’s not that romantic. Yanping is an idealised love, but also a selfish one. Keping can be very romantic, but there’s a quiet and enduring quality to it that’s still different.

1. Snow Country (Zhang Haike/Zhang Qiling or rather Zhang Haike & Zhang Qiling)

They got back home just as New Year’s rolled around.

2. Untitled Yucun Garden c.12 inspired fic (Pingxie)

That night, my dreams cycled through ice and fire as I froze to death in one dream before immediately immolating in another.

3. Untitled Xiaoge whump-ish thing (short)

Pangzi and Wu Xie were talking about something again.

4. Everybody Finds Love (In the End) (A-Tou/Liang Yanyan)

A-Tou knew, the moment she first laid eyes on Liang Yanyan, that she was never going back to what her life had been.

5. Who Dares Not Gaze Upon Guanyin? (Pingxie)

(Not mine! But I’ll never pass up on a chance to promote it, probably the best Pingxie fic I’ve ever read.)

We often had festivals to thank the gods in the village. Who was it who dared not look upon Guanyin?

6. Untitled Zhang Hailou/Zhang Qiling vignette

Zhang Qiling’s tongue sweeps across his lips, leaving an obvious line of crimson in its wake.

7. Eternal Glaciers (Pingxie)

“His heart is like ice,” Wu Xie said after a good few glasses of alcohol.

8. And maybe there would be just one fish in there. (Pingxie, Yucun Garden c.5 extension)

I looked at Menyouping, still watching the show. He noticed me, of course, and turned to look at me.

9. Debt (Pingxie)

I came close to fucking him once.

10. His Name (Zhang Hailou/Zhang Qiling)

Of all the Zhang clansmen, Zhang Hailou mused, Wu Xie probably hated him the most.

11. Qilin Among Clouds (Pingxie)

It all started with my grandmother’s 90th birthday.

12. Spring Shall Come (Pingxie)

Zhang Qiling passed out the moment they stepped off the mountain and met up with Wu Xie’s subordinates, startling both Wu Xie and Pangzi.
