⚫🔴⚪ The Board is Set 🔴⚪️⚫️ I'm so excited to finally share the cover for my upcoming #hualian modern AU, "Corner is Gold, Side is Silver, Center is Grass"! Chapter One drops Friday, October 9th at 9:30PM EST. Art by @_neal_3000 on X/Insta, who absolutely outdid herself with this piece. #tgcf

Illustrated grey ink wash fanfic book cover depicting Xie Lian and Hua Cheng from Heaven Official's Blessing/TGCF leaning toward each other over a weiqi board.

On the left, Xie Lian has his hair styled in a loose bun, and he's wearing black slacks and a white, high-collared, ruffled shirt with lace cuffs; one hand is gently tugging a few strands of black hair.

On the right, Hua Cheng, with his hair down, is wearing a red dress shirt and black slacks.

They both smile faintly at one another, their lips meeting in an almost-kiss.

Both men's hands rest on the board that is strewn with red and white flower petals.

Xie Lian's hand touches a white stone while a red stone rests between Hua Cheng's hands.

The side of the table where the weiqi board sits is also strewn with red and white flower petals. On the right side lays a red flower.

The author name "Charis" is in the upper right hand corner, and the fic's title, "Corner is Gold, Side is Silver, Center is Grass" occupies the open middle space between the two men.

Art by @_neal_3000 on X/Insta.

Story summary card for the Hualian Modern AU Fic, "Corner is Gold, Side is Silver, Center is Grass," by Charis using the blurred cover art as a background.

The story is rated Explicit and is inspired by Hyperventilation.

Summary:

Meet Xie Lian. 26. Single. Chronic lung condition.
Now, he’s a professional Weiqi player, but back then, he was Class Three’s Biggest Loser.

And this loser has nursed an eight-year-long crush on Class Golden Child, Hua Cheng, who is now one of Xianle City’s most famous—or infamous—criminal defense attorneys.

In the wake of a championship game, Xie Lian receives an impromptu invitation to a class reunion. Believing this to be his one chance to finally show Class Three that he’s not the same sickly kid they remember, and maybe make that love connection he’s been longing for, Xie Lian is devastated when Hua Cheng arrives with a silver wedding ring on his finger.

But when an intimate conversation in the dark leads to a surprise kiss and a tempting proposition, Xie Lian, who has spent his life predicting outcomes and calculating risk on the weiqi board, thinks he knows exactly what kind of game he and Hua Cheng are playing.

He’s never been more wrong.

On the bottom is the release date for the first chapter: Friday, October 9th.

Corner is Gold. ✨ A white lace cuff. A red petal. A weiqi board. Hmm. I wonder whose hand that could be? 😏 (Art by @Neal_Ne on X/Insta) #tgcf #hualian

The Grammys created a "Best Asian Pop Music" category this year. #BTS said, "F the Grammys," and won't be submitting. A Grammy was once their dream. That's why this hits so hard. This is how you change the game, y'all! Not by accepting a seat at a separate table, but by refusing to sit there.

i hate how much people care about their ships being "canon" now. spirk fans didn't publish zines full of fanfics in the 70s only for modern fandom to grovel at the knees of corporations and beg for things to be canon. use your imaginations, don't allow billionaires to think for you.

A digital sketch of Wu Ming and Calamity Xie Lian from TGCF. Wu Ming kneeled in reference offering Xie Lian a flower. Xie Lian walks onward with the Sword Fang Xin in hand, not even looking at the offering of the other ghost. Both figures wear masks, covering their faces.

Bathroom quickie 🔞 #忘羡 #wangxian

NSFW art of age gap!wangxian (Prof!ji/Student!xian).

Wangxian is inside the campus’ bathroom cubicle. The atmosphere is dark and cramped with only a sliver of light peeking through the door.

WY is bare from the waist down, his underwear hanging on one leg. WY has his arms around LWJ’s neck while his is feet is resting on LWJ’s thighs as he rides him. LWJ is sitting on the closed toilet seat, one hand holding WY by the thigh while the other slides up under WY’s sweater revealing his midriff.

WY; face red and slightly out of breath: Wait, Laoshi-
LWJ, eyes closed (lost to the sauce): Hm?
WY: There’s people…

Podfic cover art. Dark wine-red background with an image of a crudely made, human-shaped doll with white limbs, wearing a black lace dress, with a sword through its face.

The title of the Podfic, "Poppet" is in large stylized font, with "written by KaerWrites, read by Catchatorie" below it in smaller text.

Art of teen!wangxian sneaking a kiss in the Cloud Recesses.

The atmosphere feels warm, intimate and secretive. They’re both tucked away among the walls and trees of the CR.

LWJ has WWX leaning against the wall as he kisses him. One of his hand is tenderly holding WWX’s face while his other hand is placed on the wall beside WWX’s head.

WWX leans up to kiss him back, his hand holding tightly onto LWJ’s sleeve. LWJ and WWX’s ears (and WWX’s face) is red.
