I love the Meng Yao fics where he gets to be the genius bureaucrat we all know he could be. Have you seen archiveofourown.org/works/81939351 ?

There are so many good lines! My latest cackle"It was very obvious from one look at the Wen’s finance books that they were planning to start a war, something that Meng Yao immediately put a stop to. Though he was stabbed a few times in the process." In The Red archiveofourown.org/works/58783231

Pictures would be wonderful. Also, I'm sorry that you don't feel at home where you're living. That sucks.

Always a great author. I enjoy how much of this one is the Nie Huaisang show, and all the shenanigans that happen after the first chapter. (Also, the setup for the contest is *delightful*, just perfect)

Publicly, NMJ says the Jason Stathem movies. In private, he can quote every line of the Disney Princess movies, and the Princess Diaries. LXC says that he doesn't have time, but has a sneaking fondness for kid adventure movies he'd watch with his brother. Plus any movie the mom ends up alive.

That looks like fun. (Also rereading your fics and seeing Murdle and thinking that sounds like a blast too.) And it's so easy to connect the wrong dots if your brain works slightly different or have different experiences, so easy...

I went and reread the story, but also, very cute. That last "what?" made me laugh.

I love all of these, but the Nie brothers are *excellent*. I think those are great designs.

*Giggles* Perfect! Also the way that you can feel how heavy they are from Mingjue's expression, it's great.

bcaugust.bsky.social @bcaugust.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
I think it's tone deaf, but it also has a lot of what we also see in that section, where the Lan are also a business and LXC is treating it as a job interview. The "If he can't handle this." bit, which blew up in his face when it turned out there was a lot of relationships he didn't know.

This made me laugh out loud, and then when my mom wanted to know, I read it out and *she* laughed out loud. Lovely!

Mian Mian is going to be brutal, but I think the two of them look like they're having fun. (My current head canon is that Jiang Yanli is just about ready to show her a really embarrassing video for someone. Not sure whether Jin Zixuan or Wei Wuxian.)

I had always watched White Christmas with my family with the tv edit. A friend invited me over to watch the dvd with her. *did not realize there was a minstrel bit* Though my sister and I can still chime in with the Sisters song.

Yeah, I would have liked more of the story from the inside myself, but it does work. (I do like that she backslides, but catches herself backsliding. It feels more realistic then some I've seen.)

bcaugust.bsky.social @bcaugust.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Not one of my favorites, but interesting enough Jiang Family redemption. I do think there's a bit of handwaving involved, but there is an inciting event and reactions to that.(That said, I'm also a sucker for good Jiang siblings and have tons of those too.)
120
bcaugust.bsky.social @bcaugust.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
I think it's hard because we don't really get much of the Jiang Family pre war, but what we do get is...yeah. I could probably name ten well done Redeemed Madame Yu fics, much harder for the couple together. I know I've recced Comfect to you before, but maybe archiveofourown.org/works/24342817

I think this might be my favorite Scarletstorm story, definitely top three! We get so much of WWX's support network too, Popo is a standout star, and so much A'Yuan. So much good stuff during cat time.

Silly one: Mingjue and Huisang, Mingjue having trouble lifting the fans when they're packing More serious: Anything with Kitty! Maybe resting at home, or playing videogames or bartending! (I just love Kitty and Spencer, but I keep going back to the Kitty and Bug picture with delight.)

I think Joke's on Me might be because it was such a long time before the last update? I have a friend who bookmarks unfinished fic in the private list to look for it. Also, I love Building it Back. It is so much of a comfort read I'm always kind of sad when I hit the end.

bcaugust.bsky.social @bcaugust.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
I feel weird because I usually only do one bookmark per author, even those I love, because I use them as a "I want to reread this later." list. (I'm pretty sure all mine were public, regardless. I've gotten so many good fics from trawling through other people's bookmarks.)

bcaugust.bsky.social @bcaugust.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
It is a very fun story. (Also, Sizhui, I'm sorry to say that it won't matter if you're forty, uncles/parents will fret.)

A delightful surprise(and a great Wen Qing cameo!). And yeah, unreliable narrator all around, it seems. I'm looking forward to seeing where you take it.

I feel like I should point out archiveofourown.org/works/32824003 Which is like...90% this, JFM actually having some political and emotional intelligence leading to an all around better family situation. And yes, a big part of it is that YZY finds WY.

I think a lot of it is, more then most, he's a very black box character! We see several of his actions, but we don't get any real glimpses into his motivations. And his actions are all over the place(especially the baffling one to go negotiate with WRH about the swords.).
130
bcaugust.bsky.social @bcaugust.bsky.social · 23/08/2026
I think the easiest way is to remove "WWX is a threat to her children" from the equation, because 90% of the issue is that. I've seen a lot of different ways that can be done, so I trust whatever you come up will be awesome.(Seriously, so many ways, it's kind of sad)

bcaugust.bsky.social @bcaugust.bsky.social · 23/08/2026
I mean, the issue with JYL is that they spend a lot of time together, not always in public. Which is absolutely fine for a brother! But yeah, the problem is the uncertainty. I won't say never, it's just an uphill climb! And yeah, ward would have solved...75% of the issues, maybe.
120
bcaugust.bsky.social @bcaugust.bsky.social · 23/08/2026
And then we get the other side of it, where the uncertainty threatens JYL's reputation and chances. Which we also see in the book. Which is why I think it's easy to move things so she's not the bad guy(and why I find it correspondingly hard to buy good guy JFM without more work).
120
bcaugust.bsky.social @bcaugust.bsky.social · 23/08/2026
I mean, the issue is, Jiang Fengmian *did* threaten her children with what he did with Wei Wuxian. There is actually a fire there, under the smoke. Here's where one of the parallels with JGY comes in, we're shown that it happens, and JFM was a lot more positive with WWX then JGS was of JGY.

As long as writing about it helps, I hope you feel like you can write about it. Also, yes, that sucks.

Commission piece about a tormented bride. Always happy when I'm allowed to draw skeletons 🖤
The image shows a two-floor building with open walls. On the first floor there's a dining hall. There's a large table and a skeleton sitting at the table. There's a mural with a skeleton and an angel at the back and some arches with candles. On the right, there are two rooms: one is the reception with an arched window and a table behind the window, sofa in front of the window and a large human statue. A ragdoll cat is walking towards the door. Next room is a bedroom. The door to the bedroom has a lock on it. The bride is floating above the bed and a skeleton is looking at her from above the bed frame. In the center, there's a wedding ceremony hall with skeletons sitting on benches, a skeleton standing on a platform in the center reading a book and a groom waiting at the altar. There are murals on the walls with people and skeletons and a big statue of a crying angel. On the second floor, on the left side there are two rooms. At the very left side, there's a room with a broken wall. Birds are flying from an open cage, there's a shelf and some paintings on the wall. A skeleton is popping out of one of the paintings. In the next room, a skeleton is sitting on a chair and a cat is looking at it through a small secret door from the next room. There's a sculpture of an angel behind it. On the right side, there's a dressing room. The bride is sitting at the vanity table looking at her reflection but she sees herself as a skeleton. The room at the far right side extends to the roof. It has two large murals: one shows the groom and the shadow of the bride dancing and another one shows the bride holding a bird with 4 skeletons behind her. There are broken stairs leading upstairs. The wall is broken and there's a large skeleton climbing the wall. Upstairs shows the bride ringing the bells and a large skeleton behind the roof looking at her. Birds are flying in the sky and ribbons and cascading around the roofs. There's a horse on the left and a skeleton with angel wings.

Think of how much your current pens need some time with you and how you'd like to take a deep breath and just see how each one glides across the paper, taking the proper time to really get to know them before buying new ones. (do what brings you joy)
