heeeeey friends it's the first chapter of what's looking likely to be an extremely long Jiang Yanli-centric AU that nobody asked for!

Title: and the other gold
Fandom: 陈情令 | The Untamed (TV)
Summary: "What," Wen Qing said, "do they teach all you Jiangs? Do they raise you on nothing but ballads and martyrdom?"

(or, the one where Jiang Yanli manages to slide in before Wei Wuxian to sacrifice her golden core)

"I'll write it as a one-shot and stop," I said. "That's IT," I said. 😭

[shadaras]

YES :D

[shadaras]

Also this is making me think about the followup to that Yuletide fic I wrote and how I should maybe actually try writing this story that's mostly about infrastructure and politics and maybe a bit about Jiang Cheng courting Wen Qing
(it would be called "how the light gets in", of course)

[skygiants]

YES PLEASE DO THAT :D :D :D :D

(omg of course it is...and now you have the title you have to do it!!)

[shadaras]

there are so many projects I want to work on! but this one would be soft and fun or something...

(haha yeah titles are the hard bit except for all the other hard bits...)
