the dictates of my own heart | nowa/seign | g | 5.6k

a castle town production of the star-cross'd lovers forces seign to come to terms with some feelings he wasn't aware he had.

🎭 ao3: ao3.org/works/63821119 #yugtowrites
Fic promo graphic for "the dictates of my own heart" by yugto on AO3 (Nowa/Seign, rated G, 5.6K words). Summary: "As Nowa’s face approaches CJ’s, she snorts, in a manner that is both particularly unladylike and not quite befitting of someone who’s supposed to be pretending to be dead. Nowa breaks soon afterward, and then both of them burst into laughter, giggling and shoving at each other. The twisting in Seign’s chest does not abate. He takes a minute to try and pinpoint the source of that feeling—it feels like a particularly intense form of the unease he’s felt recently—and then, all at once, he realizes, Ah. I didn’t like that." A castle town production of The Star-Cross’d Lovers forces Seign to come to terms with some feelings he wasn’t aware he had.

flightless bird's siren | shinonome sibs & sazanami jun | t | 4k

about fathers, and the art they passed down to you, and trying to stand on the same level as the geniuses around you. (and, in addition to all of that, limited-edition strawberry pancakes.)

Fic promo graphic for "flightless bird's siren" by yugto on A03 (Shinonome sibs & Sazanami Jun, rated T, 4k words). A panel from the ProSeka/Enstars collab 4koma with Akito and Jun has been modified to add a speech bubble reading "Otouto-kun!" Fic summary: “Is… your father also an artist, Shinonome-san?” Ena glances at Jun, startled, like she’d almost forgotten he was there. He tries not to take it personally. “Oh. Um. Unfortunately, yeah.” Jun nods. “I get it. It’s complicated, isn’t it, when your dad’s in the same line of work as you.” About fathers, and the art they passed down to you, and trying to stand on the same level as the geniuses around you. (And, in addition to all of that, limited-edition strawberry pancakes.)

this is your verse | granny ping & friends & students, g, 4.4k

granny ping takes up the guqin once again.

🎼 ao3: ao3.org/works/62661679 #yugtowrites
Fic promo graphic for "this is your verse" by yugto on AO3 (Granny Ping character study, G, 4.4k words) Fic summary: “Even giving voice to memory can sometimes be painful,” Zhongli says quietly. “Guizhong was important to all of us, but most especially to you. To speak of her and all we went through together, both the great achievements and the day-to-day squabbles, lets the next generation learn from our experiences. But keeping that memory alive will not always be easy. You know that as well as I.” Granny Ping takes up the guqin once again.

fruition | xingyun | t | 7.9k

xingqiu wakes up ten years in the future. (written for drizzle_dazzle for the xingyun server holiday exchange!)

read on ao3! 💙 ao3.org/works/61628566 #yugtowrites
Fic promo graphic for "fruition" by yugto on AO3 (xingyun, rated T, 7.9k words). Summary of the fic: "The last thing he remembers is releasing their lanterns last night at the Lantern Rite. I wish we could stay forever just like this, he’d wished upon his Xiao Lantern. As the last of the lanterns drifted off into the sky, they’d gone back to Chongyun’s. He’d fallen asleep there, back to back with Chongyun, with a good feeling his wish would come true… and then he’d woken up here. None of those memories explain how he arrived at this moment, in an unfamiliar bed in an apartment somewhere in Liyue whose calendar is at least two years behind." Xingqiu wakes up ten years in the future.

such wonderful guides | enstars, hiyojun | t | 19k

it takes a village—but mostly one very, very determined tomoe hiyori—to teach sazanami jun how to play the guitar.

🎼 ao3: ao3.org/works/54615931 #yugtowrites
Fic promo graphic 1/2. "such wonderful guides" by yugto on AO3. Hiyori/Jun, rated T. Fic promo graphic 2/2, with a summary of the fic: “I got asked to play the lead role in this new drama.” Jun lets go of the fretboard, gesturing at the freshly-printed script sitting on the coffee table next to his phone. “I just got back from a meeting with the director and producer. They reached out directly to CosPro to ask me to take this role, so it’s not like I can really say no, y’know? But the main character plays the guitar, and, well. Like I said. I don’t know how to play.” “You don’t?” Jun shrugs. “It wasn’t a priority when I was growing up, and then when I got to Reimei it really wasn’t.” Sagami Jin doesn’t play the guitar, he doesn’t say, and the students in the Labor Camp don’t have that kind of time on their hands. It takes a village—but mostly one very, very determined Tomoe Hiyori—to teach Sazanami Jun how to play the guitar.

opening up | gaming/xiangling | t

gaming moves to liyue harbor and finds love, new friends, and his new favorite neighborhood restaurant (not exactly in that order).

❤️‍🔥 ao3: ao3.org/works/59030239 #yugtowrites
Fic promo graphic for "opening up" by yugto on AO3. A snippet of the fic in the graphic reads: Okay, so maybe moving cross-country on a red-eye flight (and one that got delayed by three hours, at that) wasn’t the smartest idea Gaming’s ever had. But here he is, on a sidewalk in front of a still-closed restaurant somewhere in Chihu Rock, running on approximately two hours of sleep and one terrible cup of airplane coffee, with nothing but a phone that’s been dead for the past five minutes to guide his way. Definitely a first day in Liyue Harbor for the books, if nothing else.
