WORD OF HONOR 【山河令】 (2021): EPISODE 01

Heyy, you have an amazing collection of recs over here! I've been gobbling them up even tho i should have been studying haha. I was wondering if you knew any good wwx & wen ning friendship fics? i've a sudden craving. thanks for your lovely blog!

ooooh hope your craving hasn't faded too much by now, this is later than you probably anticipated! i had a bit of trouble narrowing it down, frankly, since i can't imagine a world where wwx and wen ning co-exist and AREN'T friends - i tried to focus more on fics where their friendship was front and center, but the best i can say is that a half-hearted attempt was made 😅

edit, like 15 minutes later: THIS TUMBLR POST

before we dive in, just wanted to drop these AO3 relationship tags i browsed - in case you want to do your own deep dive!!

“Ah… Xiang?”

Her head was on his chest. Forcefully lifting it up, she gave him a smile, breath like gossamer. “Master, I said I was going to kill him, but that was a bluff. I don’t… have the skill… kill him for me, I’m begging you… kill him… for me.”

He nodded woodenly. Gu Xiang looked pained, and she felt aching, cold all over. It was like all of her warmth was pouring out of her back. She had to hold tightly onto his lapels, like a little girl. “It’s f-fine if I die… Brother Cao definitely would have wanted me to live well… but I… I’m not going to… be able to… Master…”

Wen Kexing covered her head with his bloodied hand. “Don’t call me Master,” he said, gentle. “Call me gege.”

She attempted to force a smile, but failed. No longer obeying her, her limbs began to spasm, and her eyes gradually unfocused. “Gege, you have to… kill him… for me…”
