Woxin drabble from xsmoonshine
Because limelight-shunning qwerty never makes new posts to showcase the awesome drabbles and ficlets and artwork she does on request, one must make posts for her.
So here she was asking for icons to fic about, and I responded with the one up there, and she responded with:
She is fair and tender as a spring flower; delicate, sweet and innocent; true as a sword, perfect as a poem. There is nothing about her that is like her lord who has gifted Fu Chai with her: no doubts, no deceit, no mysteries. Even his advisors' reasons for objecting to his decision to keep her at his side are different. Nothing about her should remind Fu Chai of her lord. Except that she does. All her dissimilarities remind by simple contrast: every unlike word, every unlike move brings her lord to his mind. And so, Fu Chai keeps her.
Now why didn't anyone think of that interpretation before? Thank you qwerty!
(Suggest all y'all go check out the other toothsome goodies there as well.)

Heh. I feel a little awkward about making directly fannish posts these days - I don't think any fandom I could name has more than two or so interested people on my flist, Saiyuki aside.

ETA but you do that handful of fans a disservice by hiding your light under a bushel of comments err whatever. Breakfast. Maybe I should have breakfast.

Although interest may not be commensurate to output, any relevant fannish posts from you are always welcome ^_^
