A mind full of worlds

So here it is finally all posted, the fic written for MDZS wip big bang. Where I'd signed up for the lower word count tier expecting this to be between 10-15k.  Still just managed to get it all done for that tiers posting dates - but it ended up coming in at 36k.  So I was just a bit under estimate.

Summary: The decision to help a small village threatened by a vicious yaoguai brings with it danger and upsetting news that Xiao Xingchen never expected to receive. With the news comes a choice, one that will change the course of both Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan’s lives in ways that neither of them expect.

Story is fully written and complete in six parts. Posting will be every other day starting on 22nd April, posting time each day will be about 8am UK time.

So me actually posting something here less than a month after the last time.

Anyway, after finishing my mxtx big bang story and posting it last month, I promptly signed up for the mdzs wip big bang (three tiers basically a mini bang, and mid size and the traditional big word count one)

Technically I’m writing in the 1st tier word count with posting in April. Actual word count will be well into tier 2, as it’s looking like being abt 28k - but I’ll be ready for tier 1, I’m sticking there.


Always interesting to write characters that I’ve not written before, and I’m kind of letting them take the story where they want. Which is handy as just letting the talk finally clears up to me why I’m writing one of their reactions to what is going on in the way that I am.





( In which Song Lan and Xiao Xingchen talk their childhoods - mention of being orphaned and of a child being abandoned )

So there it is a bit of my first long CQL setting fic (because this is the only time line this works in)

If I remember I might actually cross post my WIP Wednesday post here.
