Here's a reimagining I wrote of the scene in book 4 where Xie Lian gets drunk at the graveyard. Mind the tags, please.

Summary:

Didi (弟弟): Younger brother.

Drunk for the first time in his life, Xie Lian accidentally falls in an open burial pit and finds that he’s not alone.

Canon divergence from chapter 185 of the original/unrevised serialized edition.

GetBackers headshots since I finished rewatching the anime a bit ago with a friend. Some of these men were impossible to draw!! Had to redraw Akabane 3 times and I'm still not sure if I captured him well.

I wanted to make something for Xie Lian's birthday but couldn't figure out what. Then I read the newest update of "At Night I Rose And Fell" by PaidSubFics at like 4:30am of July 16th and this image got branded into my brain.

I thought of many ways to celebrate the fact that, as of last October, I've been doing cosplay for 10 years. After finally having the chance of watching "Mononoke: Phantom in the Rain," it became clear to me that Kusuriuri, my most beloved cosplay, was the correct choice. Although I made him three years into my cosplay journey, he somehow summarises everything I love about this hobby.

I intend to make the new Kusuriuri for next year. It'll be lovely to have them together.

If you see this, reblog and put in the tags what extremely niche research topic you've found yourself derailed by while attempting to write fanfic. Bonus if it was supposed to be PWP.

Dinghai Love Week 2023 Day 2: Side character / Death.

Xie An, the man, the legend, who I didn't expect to like but here we are. I based his design on his first description on the novel. Also, spoilers without context, I guess.
