can you post more about my second verse pls? I neeed to know more
Oh sure! Thank you for asking! I haven't talked about that fic in quite a while hhhaha :')
I'm not sure how much you've poked around on my AO3, so I'll start from the top: My Second Verse is my 90k+ word canon-compliant xingyun relationship study. I wrote it as my very first long-fic because I wanted to explore Xingqiu and Chongyun's relationship, the ways I interpret their compatibility with each other, etc.
The overarching plot is sparked by Xingqiu receiving a request from Yae Publishing House for a sequel to his main book series. In chapter 1, Xingqiu asks Chongyun to act as his muse for his next book and Chongyun agrees (since that request is pretty vague as-is anyways.) From there the two spend a lot of time together working through their core character traits; Xingqiu is forced to realize he's a self-righteous prick, and Chongyun is forced to realize the way he lives his life suppressing his yang energy is unsustainable.
Things explored in this fic include:
What does Xingqiu value in Chongyun?
What does Chongyun value in Xingqiu?
What can these two grow to learn from a relationship with each other?
What does it mean to love someone? What does it mean to feel lonely?
It's pretty slow-burn with a few sword-fighty action scenes speckled in, but it's mostly introspective drama and alternating POV. Currently the fic is marked as "unfinished" because I had plotted a whole second half from the part where I stopped, but I've been on hiatus from this fic since I hit some severe writer's block :'''') If you're the type to only read finished fic, the fic as-is currently wraps up nicely! I've also received some feedback that the fic doesn't actually go the direction that some people thought it would, if that's something that you're into.
Happy to answer more questions abt that fic tho, if you were looking for smth more specific!

Hello :’)
Hey there!! It’s been a while.
You may have been redirected here from bird app, or maybe you’ve just been here for quite some time. In either case, surprise!! I am alive and well, and it’s nice to see you 👋
I’ve been hiding under the radar for quite some time due to a series of life changes coming one after the other. I’m slowly crawling my way out of my thick little shell, and I am thankful for the love and support of everyone who’s reached out to me since I went publicly dark!!
I’ll be slapping up some art on a cue here for the time being, some of which might look a little familiar, but it’s just a part of me cataloging stuff and seeing if it can reach more people.
Thank you for being here! Much love!!Â
