Just another fangirl tumblr. I am a geek of the eclectic sort. There will be Teen Wolf! Avengers! Firefly! Kittens! And numerous other dorky things, including the ramblings of my own demented mind.
Find me here on AO3, maybe buy me a ko-fi if you like them!
Or check out my books!
Dragon & Emperor
The Emperor's Mirror
The Warder's Oath
The City's Secrets
The Oracle's Answer

Wen Kexing looked at him. It was if he suddenly didn’t know where to start; after a long while, he finally began, “I…when I was ten or so years old, a half-grown child myself, I took A-Xiang in. I knew her father and mother–they had died, and she was too young then, swaddled in blankets. Her mother had hidden her somewhere; their enemies had not noticed her, and she managed to escape with her life.”
Cao Weining didn’t even dare to make a single noise, listening on with an expression near pious.
Wen Kexing continued, “She’s actually not my maidservant…although we address each other like master and servant, I have never treated that lass as an outsider–she is like my own little sister.”
He smiled, paused, then added, “If I were to feign some seniority–I watched her grow up, so she is a little like my daughter. The place we stayed in when we were younger is not somewhere meant for humans to live in. I was a child too and stumbled many times over the course of raising her. I burnt her mouth the first time I fed her congee–for A-Xiang to survive until now, it wasn’t easy on me, but in truth…it wasn’t easy on her too.”
