a non-exhaustive list of Jin Zixuan recs

(Reposted because I forgot a cut and then broke the formatting.)

Because what is there to do when ill but, apparently, go through fics with Jin Zixuan tagged as a character which had his full name mentioned to pick out some stuff I liked -- Jin Zixuan is a character I don't have a great understanding of, so I'm always on the look out for stuff that I feel explores his perspective in an interesting manner!

Recs presented in no particular order except the order they ended up in in my tabs.recs below the cut! )

a fic and five icons

nothing gold can stay

"Unearthed from a pile of papers a decade old, you find Meng Yao, half-sketched in black ink, staring up at you."

An angsty Nie Huaisang/Jin Guangyao character study, set after Nie Mingjue’s death, through the lens of two portraits never finished.

2.9k words on AO3.

icons of Wang Lingjiao

I posted five icons of Wang Lingjiao on [community profile] smallbatchicons a week or so ago, but here they are here as well!

some bulletproof recs

Three recs for The Locked Tomb from Bulletproof 22/23: so savage with red desperation and hold you close and hear you cry, two delightfully codependent Coronabeth/Ianthe fics, and Necromantic Adventures in Bodyswapping!, a Mercymorn/Augustine fic where they have sex while body-swapped with each other.

(A bonus rec: in the tall weeds, a Nie Huaisang/Jin Guangyao fic set in the Qinghe era, with class issues and gender stuff.)

a brief writing retrospective for 2022

I was planning to use the same questions I answered last year (courtesy of [personal profile] anysin, who I forgot to credit then, though I don't know the original provenance), but given how little I've written this year, I thought I'd just do a short retrospective on my own initiative instead.
