Easter Monday counts as a Sunday, right? *g* I'm finally picking my way through the Space Swap collection that revealed (I know, bad mod), and I have some writing updates to share. I do not quite have six fics to share updates from, but ideas count as things, right?

1. That WIP? Now 41.9k according to gedit! AO3's wordcount is slightly lower than gedit's, always, but as I will have to fill in the sections that have [finish scene], it'll definitely be over 40k. It's the longest thing I've written, and it's novel-length! Woohoo! Posting will hopefully start during the first week of May.

"The art of cultivation requires a mind open to the world. How can your mind be open if you close your eyes to duty and fill your heart with hubris?" Wei Wuxian asked. "Now, let us sweep the training field. Hurry up and take a broom!"


2. My 520 Day Reverse Exchange Fic has quadrupled in wordcount! \o/ It is over the minimum already. Now I can just sail at the plot points I've planned. In an emergency, such as the plot growing into a 40k monster I cannot finish in time, the first scene sort of stands alone. (There's also another flexion point that could be rewritten into an ending a few scenes further in.) I really want to write the rest of the fic, though, and since this is now my biggest writing priority, it should be doable.

No quotes because this is exchange fic.

3. I've had a blast doing porny Storytime on the Guardian Discord. Live writing for an audience is surprisingly doable for me; it's how I wrote Alas for him, so beautiful when tied! (in another fandom, on another Discord) and What Makes the Blood Run. I do need to clean up the drafts later and elaborate upon stuff, though. There are three things in my queue – the first one is the collar porn, which needs a start and a wrap-up, plus characterization read-through. (ETA: posted!)

Zhao Yunlan kept a hand at the collar, against Shen Wei's jugular where his rushing heartrate was obvious, planted his legs on the bed, and rolled his hips into Shen Wei's delicious heat. This wonderful man was madly powerful and could shed the collar by a myriad means, from teleporting out of it to working the latch at the nape of his neck, but he wanted it – wanted to wear it because Zhao Yunlan had given it to him, just like he proudly wore the name Zhao Yunlan had bestowed on him.


4. The second one is omegaverse breeding kink, which I was somehow enticed into writing (it seemed like a good idea at the time, okay); my secondhand embarrassment is quite a block to editing this, and the start is just a whole lot of summary, but there's porn in there, and I might be persuadable to edit it into something. And because much like Zhao Yunlan, I have no shame, I'd then post it onto AO3 and not even make it anon... (ETA: posted!

Shen Wei looked at the rended sheets with embarrassment, then turned to Zhao Yunlan. Like in their cat and mouse games, he seemed to be considering his next words carefully, though with a more dazed expression than usual. One of his hands went down to where they were joined together and pressed his finger in at the rim. They both shivered.


5. The third one is Zhao Yunlan getting very possessive after seeing his boyfriend get flirted with all night and not being allowed to go stand next to him because that might affect the fundraising. This one only needs tweaking of flow and characterization, plus maybe some elaborating. (They all do, but this one doesn't need anything else.) (ETA: posted!)

Shen Wei blinked slowly. "You know I can't turn off my healing powers," he gently said.

"Oh, but *I* can," Zhao Yunlan said, and brought out the spare Dixing power suppressing handcuffs from the bedside table. "Do you think I pay Lin Jing for nothing? With these, I can handcuff you to the bed and you can't do anything about it."


6. In with a stretch, but the The Goblin Emperor fandom is organizing a filth fest. I'll see if I can write a suitably dodgy PWP! I have some ideas already. Csoru will likely end up being orgasmic in a very unhappy way...

...gdi, that would be an awesome idea for Guardian fic, though. Not with Kaixin necessarily but just in general. Statis pods and time dilation fields and stuff combining to hide a whole bunch of original planet survivors or something.

*laughs* Xiao Guo can take him to an orphanage he volunteers at and let small children climb all over him and cuddle him. >.>

Yesssss. Might take some finding/getting out of, because a lot of stuff probably got buried a bit in 10k plus years, but both twins could probably do with a bit of maternal terror in their lives again. >.> (And while we're at it, in a 'verse where Yunlan's mom is alive, the two of them can be terrifying together. XD)

Right? Tidy the clothes and the hair, all good as new. And they're so tiny! Clearly not a threat and MUST PROTECT FROM THREATS AT ALL COSTS.

Yeah, Yunlan needs some family that's not terrible at communicating. XD

He's getting a taste of his own medicine then. XD At least in terms of unpredictable, eating people and emotional outbursts anyway.

Is it even possible to be worse at communication? XD

...Nope, Yunlan is just gonna laugh and laugh. And possibly throw Da Qing to the wolves into the mix as well, because who doesn't love cats? XD >.>

I'm sure Dragon City has at least one cat cafe. XD
