#WIPWednesday #TuxFic

From the final chapter of my SVSSS No-Abyss AU fic, This Loud Silence, which will be posted on Friday.

archiveofourown.org/works/70718226
The blood, instead of dripping normally, was forming a lashing whip hanging from Luo Binghe's hand. Yue Qingyuan's stomach dropped. All of a sudden, he knew where he had seen this fighting style before. For a bare instant, Yue Qingyuan was a teenager again and he was fighting Tianlang-Jun, the Demon Emperor. He was newly emerged from the Ling Xi Caves, and he was fighting the most powerful opponent the cultivation world had ever seen while battle raged around the two of them, the Demon Emperor laughed, and ruby-red eagles dove at his face.

#ficWIP word of the week is “buy” @ficwip.bsky.social

I didn’t find “buy” in my current WIP but I did find “rent” so I’ll take that and run with it

From my SVSSS no-abyss AU, whose sixth chapter (of seven) is going up on Friday!

#TuxFic #WIPWednesday
Shen Qingqiu had put extra effort into avoiding them all, over the last year, going so far as to use some of the absurdly huge stash of spirit stones he found tucked away in the bamboo house to rent a permanent room at the Warm Red Pavillion, so that he could occasionally get a night's peace away from Qing Jing Peak. The bamboo house, once a place of status and pride, had become eerie, scattered with small trinkets he did not recognize, small objects that were perpetually out of place. It was no longer his house, but that of the stranger who had lived in his body for those missing years. No longer a refuge, it felt almost like a prison. Staying there for too long felt like trapping himself with the ghost of the other him, the one respected by all of his peers.

In which the holy mausoleum is critiqued. From within.

Full chapter on Friday!
A few turns of the hallway later, they entered a large, high domed space ringed by individual tombs, each with their own decoration. Shizun hurried them past a tomb with elegant, sharply angled construction that looked almost geometric. "Don't stand still in front of that one," he ordered. Then, under his breath, he added. "Art-deco-ass western hackish borrowings." "What?" Shang-shishu asked. "No, man, it's like Balin's tomb!"

Snippet from the chapter of “This Loud Silence” that I’ll be posting on Friday!
Mobei-Jun looked at the seemingly-human child standing before him without many expectations. It had been interesting, several years ago, when the boy had unsealed a Heavenly Demon mark during their fight. Having chosen to hide among humans for the intervening time, rather than attempt to reclaim his hereditary throne, Mobei-Jun had his doubts about the child's strength.

Maggie Smith, Good Bones

Tennyson, Ulysses (www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/45392/...)

Catullus 101 (www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?...)
Good Bones BY MAGGIE SMITH Life is short, though I keep this from my children. Life is short, and I've shortened mine in a thousand delicious, ill-advised ways, a thousand deliciously ill-advised ways I'll keep from my children. The world is at least fifty percent terrible, and that's a conservative estimate, though I keep this from my children. For every bird there is a stone thrown at a bird. For every loved child, a child broken, bagged, sunk in a lake. Life is short and the world is at least half terrible, and for every kind stranger, there is one who would break you, though I keep this from my children. I am trying to sell them the world. Any decent realtor, walking you through a real shithole, chirps on about good bones: This place could be beautiful, right? You could make this place beautiful.

No-Abyss AU snippet selected for the word “train” (ficWIP word of the week)
Binghe fell into a kind of pattern: up at dawn, to the library until the day's messengers arrived from down-mountain. Then he and Ming Fan sorted paperwork, and delegated to some of the other disciples. Lunch, because Ning Yingying would drag him there, and back to the library for research until sunset. Then he would meditate at Shizun's sword mound, clear Shizun's meridians, and sleep for long enough to train with Meng Mo. Some days were different, of course. Peak Lord Liu showed up sometimes, and helped infuse Shizun's body with qi before taking Binghe out to the training fields and teaching him how to fight with a training sword. He was a terror on the field, swift and beautifully able and frighteningly strong. Binghe loved fighting him, loved how it made him stop thinking, stop worrying, how he could just react and respond and how, gradually, as the months passed, he could push Peak Lord Liu just a little harder, a little longer.

This will start posting on AO3 on Friday!
Peak Lord Liu was half-collapsed over Shizun's body, one hand grasping Shizun's wrist the way he always did when he was clearing Shizun's meridians of the effects of Without A Cure. Except usually Peak Lord Liu wasn't bleeding through layers of bandages in more places than Binghe could count, and usually Peak Lord Liu wasn't unconscious. And usually Shizun wasn't dead.

Hm. #WIPWednesday #TuxFic

From the no-Abyss AU, which is now finished and undergoing extensive beta-reading to sharpen the knives.

In which SQQ realizes SQH taught LBH and LQG pinyin as a form of code, and has some feelings about it.
"Wait," Shen Qingqiu said, staring at the map. "Is that pinyin?" Shang Qinghua shrugged. "I mean," he said. "It works as a code, right?" Shen Qingqiu just stared blankly at him. He knew he should be preserving more of an immortal master facade, but, so sue him, he'd just come back from the dead, and now he was seeing the protagonist writing in bizarre Chinglish pinyin word-salad! The idea of writing in pinyin had never occurred to him once he got here! He'd been struggling to fit in, to remember all the traditional characters that the original goods would have used! And to teach pinyin to the protagonist? And with such absolutely terrible handwriting?

Now with alt text.

The script to oppose KOSA (the Kids Online Safety Act) AKA The Big Bullshit Censorship Bill is now up on @5calls.org

We’ve already seen the results of this over the last few days in the U.K. with their Online Safety Act (OSA). Let’s make sure it dies off again. Call your reps ☎️
Oppose S. 1748 The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) Congress has again put forward legislation aimed at controlling what content children see online, known as the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA). During the previous congressional term in 2024, the bill passed the Senate but then failed in the House due to Republican leadership fears that it may be used to silence certain political views. While the bill's sponsors claim that changes were made to the text to address the widespread concerns that KOSA would censor internet content and instigate lawsuits, the language of the bill is still dangerously vague and open to interpretation by the government.

In which Luo Binghe wakes up in Mobei-Jun’s palace, completely alone.
Binghe blinked hard at the thought, and then focused on dragging himself out from the pile of furs, forcing himself to catalog them as he struggled free. Some were from common enough monsters: white-pelted snowy dire wolves, the famously fierce dark-fanged Abyssal polar bears. Others were stranger: sharp-hooved moose-lions and what looked like they might be the rare Northern white-furred tiger-bats, which were, it seemed, larger than he had read. One fur he did not recognize at all. Shizun would know what this is, he thought, petting the soft, deep black pelt, and was swamped by a wave of misery.

In which Mobei-Jun takes Luo Binghe to his treasury to retrieve a sword, and finds an unpleasant surprise.
Mobei-Jun watched the snow-spider land on the boy's shoulder, and had just long enough to think ‘Qinghua is going to be so unhappy about this’ before the fangs struck flesh. Luo Binghe, however, did not crumple to the floor. He did not frost over with rime and ice crystals, and he did not display any of the signs of poisoning. Instead he swore, and grabbed the first sharp thing to hand, using it to lever the spider off and pierce its weak point, under the join between its head and its abdomen. "Ugh," Luo Binghe said, looking disgusted. "They're faster than I thought. Liu-shishu would be angry at me for reacting so slowly. He'd have caught it before it got its teeth in."

For this #TuxFic #WIPWednesday I’m giving you a snippet of a long-standing WIP — a SVSSS AU in which SQQ chooses to die instead of pushing LBH into the Abyss. Surely, he thinks, no one will miss him.

SQQ is … uh … incorrect on that point.
Peak Lord Mu walked off without another word, leaving Binghe standing on a terrace in balmy sunlight. With the breeze blowing towards the pavilion, he could almost pretend nothing had happened. Except there was a long-familiar weight against his chest from the jade pendant Shizun had given back to him. Binghe pressed a palm against it, thinking of how distraught he had been when Ming Fan had taken it, how shocked when the very leaves of the mountain had sprung to his defense. He remembered weeping for its loss, the only thing he had of his mother. He pressed his palm harder, grinding it against his sternum. It wasn't a fair trade for his Shizun.
