    Summary

    There were many unspoken sentiments that grew like the peskiest, most utterly loathsome, weeds within Shen Qingqiu’s throat – but never his heart.

    No, a heart desolate as his was too hopeless for even the hardiest of weeds to take root within. Something that had long been left to wither; its barren soil lacking in the latent basis for love or care that those who surrounded him took for granted. 

    Or, perhaps, something had simply been wrong with him to begin with – some inherent flaw within his soul apparent enough to warrant being smothered with his swaddling cloth, rather than cradled. Something in his withered heart that rendered him incapable of growth, no matter how much blood he sacrificed to the scorched earth.

    Truly, how else could he have ended up in such a state; hacking up filthy blood and spit-drenched petals into his lightly trembling palms.

    Summary

    Still standing, Shen Jiu rested his forehead against the stone column. He closed his eyes, though it did little against the stubborn tears clinging to his eyelids. Throughout all of the beast's torture, he didn't cry. Throughout most of his life, he didn't cry, and those few times he did were fake, the con he pulled with Qi-ge to earn some food in their bellies.

    And yet here, now, when faced with something as small as taking a bit longer leaving the prison...

    "It's cold and I'm tired and-" he whispered, more to himself than to Qi-ge. "Please, just let Xiao Jiu leave."

    Summary

    As of April 2016, The database that stores works on A03 does not allow emoji. If you try to add an emoji it will end your story there. Any words after the emoji? Poof. Gone. This is a known, if poorly advertised, issue with the archive.

    There are some workarounds; you can find them in: How to Make iOS Text messages on A03. But here? Here is for ALL THE EMOJI*.

    10 chapters of emoji tables, each with the HTML for putting the emoji into your work and the CSS for putting it into your workskin. Copy-Paste baby. Copy-Paste.

    *Does not contain the 2016 Unicode release. You'll have to come up with the code for pickle yourselves.

    (Note, because this is 10 chapters of emoji tables, here is a link to the Index Tables (chapter 1) to speed up load times and reduce confusion if you have preferences set to "entire work.")
