Rating: E
Word Count: (this chapter) 3,557; (entire fic) 15,586

Summary:

Lu Guang licked his lips. His eyes tracked across Cheng Xiaoshi's face—his dark eyes, his cheekbones, lingering for a second on his mouth before flicking away.

"For this case," he explained, "You have to have sex."

Notes: Here's what I was thinking about when I wrote this fic.

Notes: Thank you to my friend danteriordan who basically did this to me.

I wrote this fic before watching season 2. If you've only watched Season 1, congrats, you have all the context you need for this fic. But in case you've seen all of season 2 or beyond, this fic is set (major spoilers, highlight to read) during their first timeline, before Lu Guang jumps back in time.

Please read the warnings. There's really a lot going on in this fic with regards to gender, agency, and consent. For detailed content notes that will spoil the story, click here.

This fic took a village. Thank you to Danteriordan, Jules, Ken, Jimheps, Chambery, and Wizard for the brainstorming, cheerleading, fact checking, and hand holding. Thank you to Rai, Crim, and Jules for the beta.

I was determined to get this out before June ended. HAPPY PRIDE!!!

Halcyon 1000 Kudos Celebration Meme

Tue, 30 Jun 2020 21:43:36 GMT

Posted by: outstretched

Halcyon hit 1,000 kudos!!! \o/

So to celebrate, I wanted to write some flashfics! Here's a timestamp meme:

Give me a timestamp: sometime in the future after the end of Halcyon, or sometime in the past before the story started, or during the story itself. In response I'll write you at least a hundred words of what happened then, whether it's five minutes before the story started or ten years in the future.

I'll try to fill at least five of the requests I get!

If you have other ideas, questions, thoughts about Halcyon—or requests for flashfics set in the Halcyon universe that do not follow the meme format—please also leave a comment! I'd love to hear them!

There are also a few fic memes I'd like to fill out for Halcyon that I'll get to later today. When I do, I'll edit this post and add them here! ♥

Thank you so much for all your support of Halcyon and of my writing in general. I don't have words express how much I appreciate every comment and kudos I receive. I'm so grateful, it just means so much. I'm especially honored to know that some people have read Halcyon multiple times. ;A; Thank you so, so much!!!

When writing a single story over a seven year period, you inevitably collect a pile of songs that remind you of the project you're working on. This mix is meant to accompany my pokémon gameverse redgreen longfic Halcyon, which takes place ten years after HGSS. It's about Green moving to a lighthouse, finding Red, and making peace with his own past.

The progression of the songs in this mix follows the narrative arc of that story. There's a prologue and an epilogue, and then two songs for each chapter. Many of these pieces talk about or sound like the ocean; almost all of them talk about growing up.

Cover Art was commissioned from the wonderfully talented untamablecosmos.

Fandom: Daiya no Ace
Rating: G
Word Count: 347
Genre: Character Study

Summary: When they're still first years, Kuramochi sees something he shouldn't.
Author's Notes: From SASO 2016, for the prompt "Remember that time Miyuki was crying in the dugout at night and how Kuramochi was the ~~lucky~~ unlucky guy to find him?" But I couldn't figure out where I wanted to go with it, so this is a wip that will probably never be finished.

I really like the Mt. Silver period of Red/Green's relationship! It hits on a lot of themes I like: loneliness and pining, love overcoming obstacles, self-discovery through longing. I'll probably write ficlets for these tracks eventually, but for now, have a fanmix.

P.S. - "Comminuted" is a word used almost exclusively to describe broken bone. It's a type of fracture when the bone is crushed, leaving it splintered into many fragments. It's very hard to repair.
