    ➜ from last year's festivids, a vid about women's rock climbing and bouldering

    ➜ Length: 2:33

    ➜ Music: "Boys Wanna Be Her" by Peaches. No other audio mixed in.

    ➜ an original m/m novelette on ao3, starring a dude who got into supervillainy as his post-retirement hobby

    ➜ I love the main character, and I love that this is a story about older people - people who've had their whole life to learn to understand themselves, but still have the possibility to make new decisions and go new directions and learn new things

    ➜ and the story is so beautifully constructed too! idk, I don't even remember the details rn, but while I was reading it I was admiring the way the story was using the balancing and forefronting of different story elements to great effect

    ➜ also the hints of worldbuilding and backstory we get are super compelling

    ➜ and I love how it ends!

    ➜ when I finished reading I was kicking my feet and grinning with delight. I love the whole thing

    Summary

    Xie Lian doesn’t remember falling asleep in the woods.

    If he really was teleported here without his knowledge or consent, Xie Lian figures he ought to find out why. He thickens his skin and mentally recites the password to Hua Cheng’s communication array; and if his ears turn a bit red at saying the words, then at least there’s no one around to see. San Lang, he calls out, are you there?

    The silence that follows his question feels decidedly heavy, but with what, Xie Lian isn’t sure. Then comes Hua Cheng’s answer, flat and icy as a frost-covered lake: Who the fuck is this, and how do you have my array password?

    Xie Lian raises his palms in an instinctual gesture of surrender, but of course Hua Cheng can’t see him. San Lang, it’s me, he replies, alarmed.

    A beat. You have three seconds to answer me, or I’ll bombard your head with such a frightening sound your brain leaks out your ears, Hua Cheng snarls.

    ➜ ahhhh I just love them so MUCH!

    ➜ what a great fic
