Sunday Snippet

[frith_in_thorns]

Well, this has been A Week. After the thing I wrote on Thursday, which was rather an anguished howl into the universe, I've been very very slowly ticking away on the current Liu Sang one. In theory it should be barreling along now that I've done all the setup and am just on the trauma, but everything is just a bit difficult, really, isn't it?

(I had a birthday yesterday though, that was quite nice.)

"Xiaoge, can't you do something —"

"We need to move him," Zhang Qiling said, and his hand was firm on Liu Sang's back. "Liu Sang, can you stand up?"

For Zhang Qiling, voice quiet but inexorable, Liu Sang could. With support on both sides, he pushed up shakily from his knees, and staggered forward, still with his hands squeezed tightly over his ears and his eyes screwed shut. He walked step by step, relying on the others to guide him. He could barely be sure that he was vertical; he had nothing left over to care about which way he was going.

Oh wow happy birthday!!!

And yay for persevering with the writing, even if it's slow going -- I'm looking forward to reading it when you're ready! :D

Thank you! It really is going painfully slowly, but... hopefully soon I'll have enough to send you more?

happy birthday! Yeah, it's been a week. I hope you can have maximal trauma in fic (sorry, Liu Sang, hon) and minimal in actual life.

[frith_in_thorns]

Thanks! Yeah, real life has far too much grief in it right now. Fic is better.

Happy birthday! (and yes, absolutely, everything is just a bit difficult, really)

happy belated birthday! <3

with some luck i'll be able to read again sometime this year, because i LOVE liu sang and i LOVE that you're writing about him and oh, i so wish my brain would cooperate. SOON, I HOPE!

[frith_in_thorns]

Liu Sang! He is the BEST. I want to write all the completely ridiculous h/c scenarios for him in which bad things happen and then the Iron Triangle look after him <3 I really understand about finding reading hard, though, I'm still trying to get back into doing it regularly myself. I'll try to have lots of fic waiting for you!
