![]() ![]() Even though it has been - months? a year? - the lanterns in the tunnel are still lit. Jinyan smiles as his fingers unhook the latch that leads to the old hidden door. There has been no need or desire to go to visit his old manor house - until now. He is the Crown Prince of the East Palace now, and his duties fill his days. It has been a long time since Jingyan has been here. Jingyan :(Ĭharacters: Lin Shu | Mei Changsu | Su Zhe, Xiao JingyanĪdditional Tags: Angst, Reference to character death, yet another reaction to ending type of fic, Dreaming, Ficlet I finished this not knowing if this way was better or worse but definitely knowing that I’d been well and truly stabbed. This fic sets out events slightly different to how they are implied in canon, but it is canon compliant in all the most important ways. Or: Prompt #77 “Mei Changsu dies in Jingyan’s arms.” “And you’ll be here to watch me do it,” Jingyan reminds him. “You’ll do great things…create a Da Liang that we can all be proud of.” “You’ll make a great Emperor one day, Jingyan,” he murmurs. Relationships: Lin Shu | Mei Changsu | Su Zhe/Xiao JingyanĬharacters: Lin Shu | Mei Changsu | Su Zhe, Xiao Jingyan, Lie Zhan Ying, Zhen Ping, Fei Liu, Consort JingĪdditional Tags: Grief/Mourning, Canon Compliant It’s all the history between them, all the love, and all the hurts and both are equally real and present. ![]() It’s Mei Changsu dying but it’s also all the other ways that being at this second Meiling hurt Lin Chen as well, and yet he chooses to be there, because Mei Changsu is there. But it is so beautiful, and painful, and satisfying somehow like - of course it would hurt exactly THIS much, and in THIS way. Reading this fic is like stabbing yourself over and over again. Lin Chen and Mei Changsu talk about love without ever using the word. Relationships: Lin Chen/ Lin Shu | Mei Changsu | Su ZheĪdditional Tags: Minor Canonical Character(s), Meiling, Canon Compliant This fic took me by the hand and said “you think you already love Meng Zhi and know what it did to him to have to watch his friend die? let me show you.” The cold is a character in its own right, it permeates the fic, hangs over everything. This fic sliced my heart open, its Meng struggling to come to terms with the fact that Xiao Shu is dying, Meng struggling to win the war, and the cold. It’s basically ten thousand some-odd words of Meng-feels, Meng&Lin Shu bromance, and the slow breaking of a man’s heart as he watches his best friend die. Meng spends a cold winter caught in a war with two fronts–the Greater Yu army on one front, and a dying strategist on the other. He says to himself, “Mei Changsu is the cost,” and then covers his mouth with his hand, the scales of his gauntlet pricking at his skin. I don’t know how he will travel back to Jinling, and then writes, With Mei Changsu’s assistance, we will win this war quickly and with lower costs than anticipated. He silently mouths to himself, He can no longer ride a horse. His insights have led to profitable battles with low casualty rates. He writes, Mei Changsu is a skilled tactician. He writes about his generals, his lieutenants, and his captains. He writes about the snow, how it drifts in the valleys and low places, how it melts beneath the sun and freezes again during the night. He writes about the skirmishes that lead to battles and the battles that lead to stalemates. Summary: Meng’s messages to Jinling and Jingyan are short and carefully edited. Relationships: Meng Zhi & Lin Shu | Mei Changsu | Su ZheĬharacters: Meng Zhi, Lin Shu | Mei Changsu | Su Zhe, Lin Chen, Lie Zhanying, Zhen Ping, Yan Yujin, Xiao Jingrui, Fei LiuĪdditional Tags: Hurt/Comfort, Mortality, Major Illness, War, Friendship/Love Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings It’s all about the breaths, and two promises Lin Chen has made. This fic feels - very small, very claustrophobic, and yet very painful. (Lin Chen takes care of Mei Changsu in his last moments.) Lin Chen closes his eyes and counts Mei Changsu’s breaths. In the darkness of the tent, a single candle sputters.
