I did finish editing that fic chapter yesterday! Or, to be scrupulously honest, I got about 2/3 of the way through editing the chapter and thought, "4k is a perfectly good chapter length and this is a perfectly good stopping point."
Title: the lantern by the door
Fandom: MDZS/CQL, modern AU
Characters/Pairings: Jiang Cheng/Lan Zhan/Wei Ying, with a large focus on Jiang Cheng/Lan Zhan while Wei Ying is missing
Rating: Explicit (eventually)
Warnings: None (although it does begin with the deaths of two characters who also die in canon - I didn't tag MCD because I feel like that's for characters that are "major" within the fic)
Wordcount: incomplete - currently 4306, projected to be somewhere in the 40-50k range
Notes: this story is pretty much equal parts grief/loss coping, domesticity and kid fic, and emotionally knotty romance. Which, now I write it down, is pretty much my brand as a fic writer.
Read on AO3!
(edited to add: I was going to write more, some thoughts about Jiang Cheng or OT3s or posting WIPs, but while I hovered in indecision I put in the tag and hit 'enter,' which posted this. I will take that as a sign that this is done enough for now, and instead you can sound off in the comments. Which thing should I ramble about first: Jiang Cheng, OT3s, or general writing/posting process and rhythms?)
