Sundial Stories
Jan. 28th, 2020 02:59 amMy excellent exchange luck has held true! I was lucky enough to receive an amazing story by ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
blathering_kat as my Sundial gift. It's an intense post-canon glimpse at Shen Wei struggling to cope with what he's gone through, all (of course!) while feeling that there's nothing actually wrong; he doesn't need much sleep anyway. Lovely h/c, and an amazing atmosphere, and a perfectly Shen Wei-ish understated intensity of emotion.

"Tell me what you see when you close your eyes," he whispers into the dark.

My story was for the lovelyenviropony, who (perhaps unwisely? *g*) showed interest in a certain character in her prompts. I'd had an idea involving that character a while back, and, well. This was the perfect excuse!
The Dixing Lord's Virgin Captive. A Romance of Ancient Dixing, set to writing by A Gentleman of Noble Lineage.
The cover depicted a bare-chested man wearing a hooded black cloak, a mask chased with silver, and thigh-high boots over extremely tight leather trousers. He held a swooning woman clad in equally impractical attire in one arm, and brandished a sword with his free hand. The woman was clutching a lollipop, and both figures were buffeted by particularly dramatic gales of wind as streams of lava flowed past their feet.
“I’m afraid I’ll have to confiscate this publication,” Shen Wei managed, sounding slightly strangled in his own ears.
A new romance genre takes Dragon City by storm. Shen Wei does not approve, and Zhao Yunlan is both ruthless and cunning.
