Sunday Snippet and, uh, Yeah

So the world continues to be a Whole Lot, eh? I have the attention span of a gnat for things that really matter, like my job and my health, but writing is going pretty okay. I would say well, except it’s a new week. I’m at about 17,000 words for my NaNoWriMo/Jiang Cheng Love Month. I think I mentioned I was breaking my work up into week-long stories, and the first week story felt really good. Basically, my goal for all the stories is to let my boy Jiang Cheng process his shit and get loved and loved in return.

For this week’s story, I’m building from the bones of the modern high school AU WIP I had going on. I deleted it from AO3 but saved a copy, so if you were reading that, you’ll recognize bits in this new story. I don’t have any energy to go into greater detail, but please enjoy this snippet and have a wonderful week.

“I am worried about you,” Wei Ying says, though he is much subdued. “Huaisang said —“

“Huaisang has a big mouth,” Jiang Cheng mutters.

“Was he lying?” When Jiang Cheng won’t respond, Wei Ying throws a french fry at him. “Jiang Cheng, was Huaisang lying about Wen Chao and his fucking minions messing with you?”
