    Summary

    Homesickness. Bereavement.

    The two other supporting themes of the piece.

    Xie Lian wasn’t foreign to any of them. He was well acquainted with them both. They had come knocking on his door, that time when his parents passed away, when he lost everything that he had, when he no longer had the will to go on, when the world turned its face to him, when he was shunned, alone and lost in the pouring rain, and the rain had washed away the red of his lips, brown of his hair and gold of his eyes. All that remained was a dull washed out photograph, a shell of himself, still standing in the rain, before the two gravestones he had come to familiarise himself with, clothes soaked wet.

    But then someone held an umbrella over him in the pouring rain, waited for as long can be. He lifted him, the broken shards of him cutting right though. He painted his life with colours he could see once again.

    Or: A depressed Xie Lian works away his lonesome days quietly at a museum. One day a youth in red shows up with a sketchbook and Xie Lian's life starts moving once again.

    Once you search why you’re throwing up flowers, and you see an auto-generated overview that says you have the love disease, it’s all downhill from there, honestly. At least, that’s how Mumbo felt. 

    or, Mumbo K. Jumbo and the 1 time he catches Hanahaki, and the +1 time he finds out one of his friends has it.

    Summary

    When Nie Huaisang had asked what body Wei Wuxian wanted, Wei Wuxian had said: “Make me useful. I don’t care what I become. I just want to be useful.”

    Useful, to him, meant burning himself away. Meant hiding from the world. Meant burrowing away in a pit of white ashes and telling himself that it was all that he needed.

    But now that Lan Wangji has found him again, Wei Wuxian—fool that he is—has started to wish for something more.

    Summary

    It was a river that stretched from the beginning of time to the end of all things. It didn't seem very big. Not when they were children.

    Wei Wuxian had been good friends with the river. He loved it with all his heart, but not as much as he loved them. He said he had come from across the river to play with them.

    Wen Qing said that Wei Wuxian had been out of his mind when he had a mind to spare, and that he had left all his sense in the old country. Wen Ning said it was a shame that the old country had broken in half.

    Wen Qing said that he was wrong, and that the place that had broken in half wasn't the real old country.

    She said Wei Wuxian had drowned the real old country.

    Summary

    “San Lang…are you sure about this? Life on the road, storage units…it’s not glamorous. There’s junk and there’s gross fluids and roaches and raccoons and meth labs, and one time I got lead poisoning and- oh! Another time I accidentally got locked inside a unit with five families and loaded on a truck and then I think technically we were human trafficked-?”

    “Gege. I’m in this, all the way.”

    Scrap Collector’s cancellation is inevitable.

    Once, Xie Lian was the most popular face in reality TV. After the...incident, Xie Lian is banished to 2am cable, and turns to making a different kind of show: storage hunting.

    But in his final season, he suddenly acquires a new producer: a Youtube star named San Lang. And San Lang- along with his legion of fans- is determined to save the show.

    Summary

    "And what sort of story is Shizun's favorite?" Luo Binghe asks, not really caring about the answer. Luo Binghe's shizun is an air-headed man who hides his inanity behind his fan; surely, whatever it is that Shen Qingqiu deems to read in his free time, it must be something equally ridiculous and superficial. Probably romance, Luo Binghe thinks. Perhaps cultivation adventure stories where the hero always gets the girl and slays evil.

    Shen Qingqiu flips his fan open to hide his face. "Revenge stories," he replies.

    AU where Luo Binghe is raised by Tianlang-Jun. When Yue Qingyuan kills his father, Luo Binghe resolves to settle the score.

    Summary

    Shang Qinghua goes to take a self-indulgent peek at his baby protagonist son and gets a kick to the shrivelled heart for his troubles. He gave up on changing the story years ago! Yet he finds himself helping his protagonist son's adoptive mother anyway. Just this one change won't matter too much, right?

    One little change leads to more. Shang Qinghua never meant to care, but he becomes invested in making sure that his new family survives the looming plot. With the changes to the world cascading around him, with his position as a traitor pulling him between his sect and a certain ice demon, and with the protagonist growing up so quickly, how is one displaced author meant to ensure that everything turns out all right?

    A Pre-Canon to Canon Divergence story.

    Shoto hesitates. “You don’t need to worry about me.”

    It’s the first thing he’s said so far that’s true.

    Aizawa puts his pen down and tries to hold his gaze. “Don’t I?”

    Shoto does look away this time, out to the common room, where his classmates are melted into couches and rugs. No, Sensei doesn’t need to worry about him. But things have been… That is, ever since Endeavor became Number One, he’s been…

    or,

    Shoto meets his long-dead brother by chance, in a dingy alley, a month before a week-long break from school. It all kind of snowballs from there.

    Summary

    Wei Ying thinks he’s going to meet a younger version of Professor Lan, since they’re brothers- gently smiling, a little sad way back somewhere, smart as a whip and just a touch gullible, but instead he meets a drop dead gorgeous sonovabitch who refuses to make more than cursory eye contact and has about as much empathy in him as a brick fucking wall.

    In which Wei Ying is forced to take AAS100: Intro to Asian American Studies to graduate. He has a cruelly strict grader, and his only hope of passing the class is attending extra credit movie nights in a ridiculous dorm with 3,000 rules.

    Or: I watched a Chinese piece of media, promptly had a whole pile of feelings about being Chinese-American, and dumped them into a fanfiction.

    It doesn’t help.

    Summary

    Both the tales of MyGO!!!!! and Ave Mujica are stories about wanting to become human. Over the course of the series, the characters humanize and dehumanize one another in their attempts to feel human. The members of MyGO!!!!! find solace and happiness in each other, fighting to become human regardless of how lost they come to feel. The members of Ave Mujica, on the other hand, distance themselves from their humanity so that they are the ones choosing their dehumanization rather than leaving it in the hands of others. Despite their opposite approaches, the bands follow the same steps to reach their humanity or lack thereof: the unmasking of their true selves, the recognition of their flaws, and the acceptance of each other and themselves as human or the exact opposite.

    (A literary analysis essay breaking down the definition of humanity in MyGO!!!!! and Ave Mujica, how each character reaches it, and what this says about the bands and their solutions to pain.)

    Summary

    Everypony enjoys myths and ponytales, even if they know such things aren't real. Alicorns fighting against a spirit of chaos? An ancient princess trapped in a library under a tree, waiting to be found? Quite enchanting and fantastic tales yes, but nonetheless as fictional as Daring Do and other such stories. At least, that's what Rarity used to think.

    She doesn't anymore.
