Curate, connect, and discover
Xie Lian would have one of those ‘making my husbands lunch/dinner’ channels and the comments would be full of people unsure of he’s genuinely that bad of a cook or is slowly trying to kill his husband.
Yesterday's class was watercolor but I didn't finish it on time because I did it again but I made a painting of my dear Xie Lian and since he recently turned his birthday it is also to celebrate him.
First attempt under the cut
Quick drawing of the beautiful Dianxia! ( ◍•ᴗ•◍)

Btw, the little fire is Hua Cheng and the eel is Ruoye^^
I did Wei Wuxian last year, so why not Xie Lian this year yk
Little break for you guys XD Been drawing some other things and I'm really happy with this one! Wanted to include Puqi shrine in a silhouette piece ^^ Thought that it was interesting with the last pieces although Hua Cheng has Paradise Manor and Xie Lian Xianle Palace neither really consider it their home. Their home is at the humble Puqi shrine <3

XIE LIAN MY BELOVED<333
I just finished book 3
Xie Lian's horrible cooking is hilariously bad💀😭
I've been reading and I starting to enjoy it. I also read the mahua and watched the two seasons of the donghua. It's shocked I joined around his birthday!
I just sent my Papyrus file to my beta. Since I'm just under 90.000 words and she has a life on the side, it'll take a hot minute. This part is, oddly, the hardest. I can't do much except wait, feeling both accomplished and anxious.
Well, I can do one thing: Get going with the next fanfic. Which is exactly what I'm going to do. (No, not a beefleaf one. Next one's Xiyao.)
The first draft of my sequel to Avenge the Living, Heal the Dead, is - as of now - complete. Now I have to proofread and edit - heavily, in a few spots.
I have heard that whole thing about gardeners and architects. I've always thought of myself as the latter: I usually know when I start writing where I'm going and how I'll get there. This time, I am really glad I didn't post while I wrote, because I wouldn't be anywhere near the finishing line if I couldn't go back and adapt to changes in my plans. (That is why one of my older fics, Tug-o-War, took me almost five years. I've since learned a lesson: Finish before posting.)
So I'll need a bit for this process, then I'm sending it to my beta. And once it's back, I can start to post.
The title will be In Truth No Beauty, in Lies No Refuge. My working title was 'High Water Over Hell', but I was increasingly unhappy with that (because anything that would have made that make sense never made it into the text). I'll let you know when it goes to my beta and when she's cleared it. :)
Okay, listen. I never read WiPs because I got invested in too many of them before they were discontinued. I have no idea what possessed me to open this one first BUT I AM SO GLAD I DID and you should, too.
This fic takes a somewhat different direction regarding what will happen with Shi Qingxuan after canon, and it's believable and brilliantly executed.
Go on. If you like Beefleaf and slow burn and HELL I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW THIS IS GOING TO END but I think it'll be fine because if it isn't I'll cry ... Anyway, if you like those things, then read it.
Check out the 100k+ word, still-in-progress story now!

Avenge the Living, Heal the Dead
Xie Lian has made his report. His plan for the rest of the night is to go home and sleep - and he'll get to do just that. Except there is this one little thing ...
(Note: I also posted the epilogue already, so we are, officially, finished!)
Avenge the Living, Heal the Dead
The best laid plans don't always work out. And Shi Qingxuan's plan was never all that good to begin with.
Avenge the Living, Heal the Dead
Shi Qingxuan wants to go back to his investigation, and since he can't stop him without sitting on him, He Xuan does his best to be helpful.
Avenge the Living, Heal the Dead
Shi Qingxuan is exhausted. He wants to have time to think - but mostly, he wants to be alone with He Xuan.
(I'm a day early this week because tomorrow I won't be able to post at a reasonable time by the looks of it.)
Avenge the Living, Heal the Dead
Shi Qingxuan is missing and He Xuan is uncooperative. Xie Lian isn't convinced he wants to let his friend's fate rest in the ghost's hands alone, so he and Hua Cheng look for him on their own.
Avenge the Living, Heal the Dead
The investigation has been crudely planned, but it leads ... well, somewhere. How to get back from wherever that is is a different question entirely.
Avenge the Living, Heal the Dead
Sure, Shi Qingxuan and He Xuan have a lot they absolutely have to talk about. But maybe a stroll through the Royal Capital is not the time and place for it.
Avenge the Living, Heal the Dead
How should a mortal deal with a furious ghost? Shi Qingxuan may not know the answer to that, but he'll try anyway. Even if he has to accept help he doesn't feel he deserves - or wants.
(I'm posting this about 32 hours earlier than I normally would, but I'll be busy later and probably won't remember, and I'm out tomorrow, so there we are. Between now or mid-Saturday, I'm choosing now.)
Avenge the Living, Heal the Dead
Once affairs in heaven are brought to a semblance of order, Xie Lian and Hua Cheng finally get to look for the ghost causing trouble in the Royal Capital.
Avenge the Living, Heal the Dead
Shi Qingxuan finds himself in an unfamiliar place and in the care of the same woman that came to the beggars' temple.
