Echo and the Vaskians

Absolutely loved it. One of my faves of 2025.

Digital illustration of Xie Lian and Hua Cheng from the novel Tian Guan Ci Fu. They are kissing over a dark background. Hua Cheng has his hands resting on Xie Lian's neck, and Xie Lian is leaning up with his hand on Hua Cheng's chest. There is transparent smoke trailing around them, and silver butterflies. Behind their heads is a glowing soft light illuminating the darkness.

My bright spot in the dark

No new chapter of "Red" this week, but a kind commenter reminded me that I had the next chapter of my spooky Hualian Fic, "Ominous Star," sitting in my drafts.

So, here's a little Halloween treat! Enjoy it with some candy! 🍬

A Quick Note!

A question came in after Echo and I recorded the interview, so unfortunately this one didnt make it into the audio, but I still wanted to take a moment to answer it here:

#tgcf #hualian #danmei #fanfic #podfic

Echo's narration for this chapter is *chef's kiss* 👌👌👌

If you haven't had a chance to listen to the podfic yet, now's a good time to start! Plus, you get the added bonus of Echo and I geeking out at the end! Win-win! ❤️❤️❤️

Digital illustration of Xie Lian and Hua Cheng from Tian Guan Ci Fu, sitting together kissing softly. Hua Cheng has a hand cradling the back of Xie Lian's head, and Xie Lian is sitting in front, turned away from the viewer. The background is a repeating pattern of stars and butterfly "quilt" blocks in reds and yellows.

Hopelessly, I'll love you endlessly ♥️♥️♥️

HC's hand gently cradling XL's head - agh, so gorgeous!!! What a beautiful picture!

Until I found TGCF I hadn't drawn in many years due to life/mental health/anxiety, so I’m insecure about my work and posting is scary. I'm a lurker and not great with words, but finding a fandom full of so much love and creativity has been so encouraging for me to keep trying. ❤️

Digital art of Hua Cheng and Xie Lian cradling each other, looking into each other's eyes. They are surrounded by golden clouds and simple line drawing flowers over a dark blue background.

I love this fic! Thanks for coming back to it - I can't wait to see where you take it.

Modern AU where Xie Lian is some sort of delivery/gig worker who finds a lost Eming while he’s working. He tries to ask some people nearby if they know who’s dog it is, but everyone just warns him to leave it alone because it keeps trying to bite–

Diane Keaton has died and it feels like a theft. A luminous talent and an inspiration to all the quirky girls. I beg you to watch the magnificent “Baby Boom” (1987) in her honour and indulge the joy of the truly standout “horse scene”.

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking?

Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

First goal met! Xie Lian better get the leash, or he's is not going to make it out of this strip show alive

Yay! I love your Podfics and am excited to listen to this one.

I am also loving your original Wangxian fic - I keep zipping through chapters and forgetting to leave comments but it is excellent. The last chapter was incredible; I can’t wait to read where you take things next!!
