Candy Hearts fics, revealed
Feb. 21st, 2023 11:19 pmI can finally link to these here! Yay!
I'll go with the main event first, the "I'm just gonna write a quick hurt/comfort" fic that ended up being a 23k one-shot.
I've been meaning to write this ship forever. The 3 or 4 different outlines I got in my drafts folder attest to that. So, when I got the email with a request for Diluc/Kaeya, I literally squeed.
Then I blacked out and two weeks later I had this fic (fine, fine, I did not black out. I actually spent only a couple hours on it a day.) I'm pretty proud of how it came out, specially the investigation bits, but also the tiny soft moments. I wanted it to sting, I hope it did.

Oh, and there was a small extra scene as well. Here it is:

Next there was the Wanderer/Lumine ficlet, written because I had this scene in my head for ages and was overjoyed to have a reason to put it into words. I just can't deal with the fact that he can fly. The moment I pulled this man I knew I'd have to write him (yes, there is a bigger WIP in my drafts).
Also, the giftee sounded so happy in the comment, it just made my day ^^

Third fic is a Xiao/Zhongli, which I admit is not a pairing I usually read. Rare pair, after all. But the request made a good case for the thousands of years of pining my boy Xiao could have going on and who am I to avoid writing some light angst?

Additional Tags: Thousands of Years of Pining, feelings realization of a sort, introspective, Xiao | Alatus-centric (Genshin Impact), Angst with a Happy Ending
Summary:
After a couple thousand years, Xiao mused, time stopped being important.
And that's it!
Except I came out of this experience with two extra WIPs.
A Childe/Diluc fic that is borderline crack (and which will be ready as soon as I manage to write the smutty bit *awkward ace smile*)
and...
A Childe/Zhongli. I just went and wrote 90% of a fic before I realized it would fold neatly as the last chapter of an older WIP, so now I have about 75% of a multi-chaptered angstfest about Childe finding out he's bad at moving on. Which also involves a fair share of Childe/Thoma, because that's how he tried to move on.
I took a look at what I had already written and most of it is the smut. Honest to god, I had no memory of ever writing M/M smut, yet there they are, two whole sex scenes.
So, yeah, I'll probably have to finish those and unleash them upon the world.
(writing is fun, y'all!)

Summary:
After a couple thousand years, Xiao mused, time stopped being important.
Or rather, he stopped counting how long it took between the moments he had been called. Stopped waiting and started enjoying every second of his Lord's presence when the chance meetings came.
