branchandrootJust got through the Phoenix Mountain hunt, in the alternate timeline Xichen/Meng Yao story, and the Flipside scene for that chapter is Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng in re Golden Cores, and my own damn characters just made me cry.
Which, I mean, yes. Predictable. But I honestly didn't know quite where that scene would go, heading into it, and /both/ of them managed to pull out that moment of "oh, yes, of course that was it, excuse me while I go SOB INTO MY KLEENEX NOW".
On the bright side, this chapter also included Lan Xichen, without saying a word, coming over all Master of Lan, Lord of Wild Brilliance at the entire cultivation world, who all proceeded to fold like wet paper. Which, again. Predictable. But also huge fun to write.
