Fandom: The Untamed

Bragging Rights: Much of this story takes place in a dream setting, so I tried to invoke a dreamy landscape with the stars and fog. I really like how it turned out.

Story Title: 'Til Death Do Us Part
Fandom: Mo Dao Zu Shi/The Untamed
Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/49937647
Summary: The last entry in a series of fics in which a thirty-seven year old Jin Ling travels back in time in an attempt to fix his uncles' pasts. Things do not, in any way, go how he planned.
Warnings: smut, incest, suicidal themes/depression, allusions to past rape (and a lot more warnings for the series as a whole, please read the tags on Ao3)
Characters: Jin Ling, Jiang Cheng, Jin Guangyao, Wei Wuxian, Wen Qing, Lan Wangji, Jiang Yanli
Pairings: Jin Ling/Jiang Cheng/Jin Guangyao
When I Started: I began outlining this series back in March of 2022, and I've been working on this particular fic since I published the last one in October of 2022.
How I Lost My Shit: The previous fic diverged quite a bit from my original outline in the end, which meant I ended up having to re-brainstorm how this whole fic was gonna go. I ended up getting a bit of writer's block during that process, and temporarily gave up on this fic in favor of more appealing things.
How I Finished My Shit: Worked hard on it since the beginning of this bang! The deadline really got me motivated again :) So happy it's finally done!!! Probably the most complicated thing I have ever or will ever write is finished! Keeping time travel stuff straight is such a pain lol.

Bragging Rights: Getting to work on the same rare pairing twice for this challenge was a lot of fun, especially since it also meant I got to work with the wonderful Cortue ^_^ The two art pieces for her story ended up feeling rather different from each other, one with the more serene landscape, one more focused on a specific element of the snippets I got. But I'm happy with how the art turned out, and that I managed to use details from Cortue's story in the pictures ^_^

Story Title: Carry it All
Fandom: The Untamed
Link: here
Summary: Lan Yi is bent on becoming the first woman to lead her sect, and dedicates every moment of her life to that end. Baoshan Sanren is an immortal wanderer that moves freely through life without settling anywhere very long. The two women spend a winter together in Cloud Recesses and find their lives are irrevocably changed.
Warnings: Canon Typical Violence
Characters: Lan Yi, Baoshan Sanren, Original Female Characters
Pairings: Lan Yi/Baoshan Sanren, Lan Yi & Original Female Characters
When I Started: September 2020
How I Lost My Shit: I started the story when I was in the tail end of my interest in the fandom and it was the sort of thing that I realized was going to be pretty long (though I had no idea it would be THIS long). My interest shifted to things that I could do easier, in shiny new fandoms.
How I Finished My Shit: There's so little content for this pairing and so I figured I would jump back in to finish one last story in The Untamed. This coincided with hearing about the Wip BB, and working on this story in a community was SO helpful. Many thanks to the mods for all of their work!

Art Title: I Remember You

Warnings: none for the art
Bragging Rights: I'm really happy I got to work with Katharija, and I'm happy I decided to take a chance on a rarer pairing. Piecing together a complete picture from the different parts is like doing a puzzle that is sometimes fun, sometimes frustrating, but always interesting :) Though I always think of my work that it could have been made better, I'm pretty proud of how the art pieces turned out in the end :)
