Snow blah blah

OMG I am so sick of shoveling snow. Even with us going out and clearing away everything a couple of times already over yesterday and the day before we still didn't manage to finish with the last 9"or so that accumulated between last night and this morning and it's still coming down. It looks like we'll probably get the full 2' they predicted. Ugh.

[personal profile] candyheartsex revealed yesterday so I can claim the treat I wrote (for 长公主在上 | Zhang Gong Zhu Zai Shang aka Elder Princess Above)
Bestowed Moments - Moments like these were rare, but Li Yunzhen treasured them. 300 words.

Nominations for the hurt/comfort exchange close in a little over a day (here's a timer). I need to get my act together and nom some things.

And here's this week's [community profile] recthething recs (MDZS/Untamed post-canon fics):

I find in you, every day for us something new by Marayanna (4k)
Summary Snippet: Sizhui picks himself up, starting to dust himself off and- oh. Oh no. The shopping stall he’s been thrown at – with its contents now all over him – was filled with colorful paint. (short and cute, if slightly bittersweet, post-canon WWX&LSZ fic)

Disaster on Four Legs by DrJLecter (17k)
Summary: Wei Wuxian wakes up as a cat one day during his travels, far away from anyone who could help. What starts as an exciting adventure turns serious faster than he expected. (post-canon fic with the perfect combination of mystery and melancholy)

Worth the Price by Minyoongiisacatuwu (22k)
Summary: Post CQL Lan Wangji adjusts to life as the chief cultivator alone. Well almost. A new rabbit comes to warren, a natural giant. But she’s alone. And so Hanguang-jun embarks upon a noble quest to find her a mate between his duties. (and breed more huge rabbits and maybe fill the hole in his chest just a little in the process).

Miles and miles away, Wei Wuxian comes to terms with his feelings about himself, the world and Lan Zhan with every letter he writes. When he hears of the quest, he deems a giant rabbit a suitable courting gift. If only he could find one.

A story of love, loneliness, introspection, and rabbits. (excellent and believable post-canon fic)

I am getting close to finishing huge blanket, over 3000 yards of yarn used so far. Fairly soon I'm going to have to decide if I want to do a border or not. (And if so, what kind of border to do) Decisions, decisions. I should also probably try to figure out how to write up the pattern for what I did because I'll never remember. I had been trying to watch Wulin Heroes while crocheting, chosen because it stars Li Hongyi, who I'd really liked as Xiao Se in Blood of Youth as well as the actors who were The Untamed's Jin Ling and Jin Guangyao, but while Li Hongyi's character and character arc is interesting the others', and the plot, very much is not. Sigh.
