Oh, yeah, the fic.

Words fall like the rain, in which Lan Zhan learns to ask for what he wants.

Half of my mission in this fandom is just to write against the bullshit of the MDZS novel. Maybe because I’ve just been drifting through tiny audio fiction fandoms lately, where the conversation is more cool shit like, "fyi my Nureyev is trans", that I’d forgotten about all the top/bottom nonsense until Good Omens came back. Plus there’s the aspect of the MDZS novel & fandom that edges a little too close to "which one’s the girl", and, ugh to that obviously.

Anyway, who knew it’d take a fandom in ancient China to get me to write dialogue?

Also, the first one, Let us melt, and make no noise, an attack of feelings from rewatching their reunion in Episode 2.

uggggggh top/bottom discourse's return (or my renewed awareness of it) is so, so dispiriting. saw someone define it the other day as "top is the one giving pleasure, bottom the one receiving it" and died several times over.
