Now that I understand the derivative work thing I've pretty much swan-dived into it, so thank you! The water's great!
Have some incredibly NSFW art from those "corporate types in an interrogation room" photo shoots.
Didn't bother translating the text on these so I have no idea what it's about, but the gifs are very pretty.
Someone liked Zhu Yilong's NYE coat of many holes enough to make fanart!

Please, for the love of everything, stop calling it Chinese New Year.

no_detective 's amazing resource post on using Dreamwidth.

A Wangxian social media au twitfic: Lan Wangji gets his crush Wei Wuxian in a secret santa exchange. I'm only halfway through this but I love it so much. I mean, this as a standalone image is just outstanding. Hey, heads-up, 2/3 of the way and things got... real. kinda grim (uh, canon-appropriate Xue Yang warning I guess?). But still, wow this is SO GOOD holy shit someone give this author an award. ETA: Oh good lord it's not finished *laugh-cry-emoji* but y'all this is one of the most engaging things I've ever read.

I'm not reading a lot of fic rn bc I'm having such a good time focusing on writing. How fortunate that I now, ~as a writer myself~ understand that it's actually pretty cool when someone comes along five months late with Starbucks to kudo/comment on a fic bc it's gonna be a while before I get through all the dSSS and Yuletide stuff I've got marked for later.

And now, the moment from Deconstruction of Hei Pao Shi that inspired this photo.

Zhao Yunlan’s face crumpled and he pulled Da Qing’s head even tighter to his chest.

“I’m sorry I had to leave you,” he said. “I never…”

He clamped his lips closed over his wavering voice and buried his face in Da Qing’s hair. His shoulders started to shake and they rocked back and forth, clutching each other in their grief and relief. Shen Wei didn’t allow himself to look away, despite the invasion of their privacy. Swallowing down his own tears, he gripped his hands hard enough to hurt. He was responsible for their sorrow and he had an obligation to witness it.

Excellent self flagellation there, Shen Wei.

*fist-pump*
I'm so damn proud of that line XD

How did you know I have a thing for interrogations???

[clevermanka]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA *SOBBING*

[clevermanka]

POOR SHEN WEI!

[no_detective]

that derivative art is sooooooo good and so explicit. *fans self*

btw, sakana17 just posted 2 fics for a derivative pairing which went to my to-read IMMEDIATELY, so if that's your jam... i don't think you need to be all that familiar with the source material for either?

How fortunate that I now, ~as a writer myself~ understand that it's actually pretty cool when someone comes along five months late with Starbucks to kudo/comment on a fic - SO MUCH SAME OMG.

your snippet is FULL OF KNIVES aaaaahhhhhhh!!!!

[clevermanka]

The fact that Luo Fei is Peak Bai Yu and Luo Fusheng is Peak Zhu Yilong for me, let me tell you how excited I am for these. Just gotta wait until I can give them Good Attention.

I LOVE MY KNIVES!

The coat of holes was seriously weird! >_< It's a good thing (or maybe a very bad one?) that Zhu Yilong has such a great face - and body - or else I'd never look at a lot of those outfits he models, yikes XD The art is still pretty, of course. I seriously like that fan artist's work!

And speaking of that artist... Thought the businessmen fanart was hot, but immediately felt guilty about it, ugh, my conscience is so annoying sometimes! ^_^

Re: the snippet. Ouuuchhh! I feel so bad for everyone right now. But especially Shen Wei, because, obviously.

[clevermanka]

GO AWAY, CONSCIENCE! LET US ROLL AROUND IN THE FILTH WITH OUR IDS.

Hee! Damn, now I want fanart where he wears that coat ... and nothing else. *g*

[clevermanka]

I feel very seen right now.
