Summary: <blockquote>The most shocking thing about Ghost City was how modern it was. Billboards! Traffic lights! KFC! Xie Lian could never get over the demons taking pictures of street food. The first time she saw it happen, she pulled on Hua Cheng’s sleeve and whispered, “San Lang… why is that man photographing his dumplings?” Hua Cheng glanced at Xie Lian. “People post photos online. On Weibo, usually.” Xie Lian had the vague sense that Weibo was sort of like a public communication array. She wasn’t sure why anyone would share photos of their food there, but she didn’t know anyone who would be interested besides Hua Cheng. “Ah, I see.” “I’ll show you, jiejie.” Hua Cheng fished her phone out of her pocket. Her suit was so low-cut that Xie Lian could barely look at her; the fake fur trim ran down to the navel, exposing the soft curves of Hua Cheng’s breasts and the garish necklace suspended between them. “Here, look through this.”</blockquote> ➤ rule 63 modern au hualian ➤ it is so SOFT and suffused with care that I am all emotions!!!! ➤ also. the outfits.

Summary: <blockquote>"...Before, the angel’s identity and mission had always been simple. For that matter, its identity and its mission had always been one and the same. It had been Study, or it had been Mincha, or it had been Comfort. Whatever it was, it was, wholly. In every moment it had known that it was exactly what it was meant to be. Like a single pure note sounding. Lately it felt like a whole chord – maybe several instruments at once, some of which might be dissonant – and it couldn’t be sure which way the chord would resolve. Every moment seemed to bring a new revelation of who and what it had become..."</blockquote> ➤ a lovely post-canon fic about Uriel after When The Angels Left the Old Country, as its relationship with Ash evolves but remains the cornerstone of its life ➤ also full of Jewish geekery (as the tags of the fic say too!) which feels so right for fic of this book! ➤ 3k words in length

Many things have changed since their time in boarding school (Lan Zhan is out of the closet, arranges charcuterie boards, stocks a fine bar…), but their friendship slots right back into place like no time has passed. Wei Ying is a little perplexed by the fact that Lan Zhan apparently doesn't have any interest in dating anyone despite being an obvious catch—but hey, at least that means he doesn't have to fight anyone for Lan Zhan's time and attention. And besides, it's not like Wei Ying is in any big rush to find himself a girlfriend either. It’s all working out great!</blockquote>

Actually, I’ve been gifted to you by the heavens as a…” His voice caught. “I mean, to—” Xie Lian’s cheeks suddenly felt hot, and his palms grew damp under the rope binding his arms together.

<blockquote>You take responsibility for your actions if you’re in the Resistance, even if those actions are, you know, mutiny. “There’s—” Okay, There’s nothing wrong with me is clearly not accurate.</blockquote> ➤ Author's note: <blockquote>Even though I appreciated the character development in TLJ, the writing for Poe and Holdo’s storyline was so sloppy it hurt me in my soul and (as is the case for like 90% of everything I write) I immediately started trying to fix it. Particularly, I was interested in finding logical reasons why: – an experienced vice admiral, in an organization so informal most people go by their first names, would not just tell her panicking crew that actually, they did have an escape plan – an experienced military pilot would suddenly start second-guessing all his commanding officers, even when they have stellar records and/or he's personally loyal to them – said commanding officers would react to this with “lol what a scamp” instead of anger or betrayal or brig time</blockquote> ➤ yes good this author and I agree on what was wrong and so we agree about what needs to be fixed.
