NOTES:
A World of Our Own is still being worked on --- I'm struggling with making the time jump from when BQ is an infant to adulthood (also considering adding in a few things from her brief childhood). Still meant to be a more lighthearted fic, but it will occasionally have some serious moments (given the circumstances/plot).
In Darkness: Next Chapter --> Qing Qiu's royal family is drastically unprepared for Xuan Nu's move. Expecting her to strike only on Mount Junji, she hits something even closer to home that will eventually be used against Bai Qian. A-li is put in danger. Bai Qian is labeled a criminal by Xuan Nu's followers and is forced to flee with Li Jing, an injured Ling Yu, and Yaozu. Seeking information, Li Jing splits from the group early on during their retreat to a safer location. When he reunites with the others, Xuan Nu has already located the remaining three and taken Bai Qian in for an 'interrogation'. Shortly after Die Feng arrives in the Nine Heavens, Mo Yuan hears Bai Qian's bell ringing through an enchantment he cast over it and promptly cloud jumps to Kunlun Mountain.
I know many of you are eager to get the next chapter of A Gentle Torment. Believe me, I'm still working on it. This semester I have a heavier course load than in the previous years, and I have a new job, so even now I can't say for sure when it will come out. Just know that it's still in the works. I haven't abandoned it yet, as it's one of my top favorite fics that I've written to date (aka, I'm a slut for smut and there's no way I'm dropping it).
