frith_in_thornsThis is the first Sunday Snippet I've had in ages, as I'm actually writing and not just for an imminent fest!! Apparently I imprinted on Liu Sang way harder than I realised (was definitely helped by writing the 9k POV fic for him) and I'm now in the writing stage of "rehash all my favourite and well-trodden fic tropes*, only with this NEW character". This one is done but not edited, and then I have two more longer oneshots currently in the pipeline. (I do think this is likely to be a oneshot sort of fandom. Unlike with Guardian, I'm not really thinking of *plot* so much, and also there's not the obligation to work out "how does this very intelligent and high-powered character get into this situation in the first place?" given that Tomb Show is very much the OPPOSITE of that problem.)
Except, usually when I do this I'm in a new fandom with a brand new audience, and I think probably most of the people reading my Liu Sang fics will also have read my Shen Wei ones, whoops XD
(*By "fic tropes" I actually mean "hurt/comfort tropes", I'm sure no one's surprised to hear that. Also everything's back to being gen, which is something of A Relief to my brain.)
(I need some Liu Sang icons.)
-
"It's me," Liu Sang said, and then realised he hadn't considered how to play this. Probably Wu Xie had tons of secret signals to use in this sort of circumstance, but that wasn't the type of thing Liu Sang thought of arranging ahead of time. "I, uh —"
"What?" Wu Xie asked, and then began to sound amused. His bedsprings creaked as he rolled over. "Liu Sang, are you drunk-dialling me?"
That was a way in, and Liu Sang seized it. "Yes!" he said, almost frantically. "Yes, I am. I miss you, baby. We should get back together."
Wu Xie snorted with laughter, but he was also sitting up, his breath catching as he focused. "Liu Sang, are you in trouble? If you are, say that you love me more than Xiaoge."
