Link Click Fic (Cheng Xiaoshi angst)
I wrote this last night, and into the morning, and forgot to post it here- PLEASE READ THE TAGS ON AO3 BEFORE READING (there are some potentially triggering subjects)!
Everything I Want to Forget is All That Remains Left in the End - Fleur_Dans_La_Nuit - 时光代理人 | Link Click (Cartoon) [Archive of Our Own]
Lu Guang doesn't think much of the photo they've been given to dive into. The task was quite easy and straight forward, find a stuffed dino that was misplaced. The boys mother was very desperate, as it was the only thing that seemed to bring her son joy, so they decided to take on the task, as what harm could there possibly be?
The photo brought back some bad memories for Cheng Xiaoshi. Ones that he wished would never resurface, but do without permission regardless of how he feels of them. Cheng Xiaoshi was scared. He was only a child in this photo, he was so small, so helpless. Frozen in fear, both the child and Cheng. Shaking as flashbacks flooded his mind.
It seemed simple, but sometimes how things seem are the polar opposite to what they truly are.

People like to point to a lot of random scenes in Link Click to justify why ShiGuang being romantic is canon. Now, I'm not the creator of Link Click, I have no authority on the subject. So most the time, it's a "lets agree to disagree" situation.
However, there is one scene from Episode 1 that I find down-right offensive for people to point to as evidence of Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang being an item:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There is no doubt that this scene is incredibly beautiful and loving, but romance isn't what makes this scene beautiful, nor is it what makes the bond they share so touching and engaging to watch. The fact that they honest-to-God love and care about each other is.
What makes this particular scene really lovely is information we're given later in the show. Its full tenderness only clicks in hindsight once we know more about the characters and Cheng Xiaoshi's past. Specifically, when we understand more about how their powers work and the tragic fact that Xiaoshi is (effectively) an orphan.
So we need to back up a few steps.
The scene begins with us seeing Emma dreaming about her parents, and we eventually see a visual representation of how Cheng Xiaoshi is also experiencing this dream as her, taking on her feelings.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then there's her parents leaving, metaphorical for how out of her life they are now and how much Emma misses her parents (duh).
Tumblr media
The fun part comes from the fact that it's not Emma we see as a child at this point, but Xiaoshi. He is being left behind by his parents.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Look at this face. IT'S THE FACE OF PAIN, and for me it honestly didn't make sense why this dream was as emotionally impactful for him as it was (on my first watchthrough).
Tumblr media
Afterwards Cheng Xiaoshi wakes up, and Lu Guang notices this. At times like this, I really appreciate the dub for localising what's being said better than the more literal subtitles (even though the dub definitely says some shit that just ain't true). The dub's word choices are:
LG: "You're up?" CXS: "I dreamt that I had spring rolls with my parents." LG: "Folks on your mind?" CXS: "Yeah, and they're on hers as well."
Tumblr media
LG: "When you became her, you took on some of her feelings and her memories. It must be tough." CXS: "... I wonder if they'll come back."
Tumblr media
and then Cheng Xiaoshi rolls over and starts hugging himself tightly because of the unbearable pain
Tumblr media
It takes a hot second for Lu Guang to realise what Cheng Xiaoshi actually means by his statement, that the 'they' in question is his own parents rather than anyone in Emma's life. Naturally, Lu Guang understands that Cheng Xiaoshi is suffering immensely right now because Xiaoshi's being forced to feel the agonising hole is his life that came from the worst thing that ever happened to him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And so, he reaches through time and space (metaphorically?) to comfort him, his all-time best friend and, yes, potential romantic partner, telling him that "It will work out, just rest." Because SWEET JESUS, WHO WOULDN'T TRY COMFORTING THEIR FRIEND IN THAT MOMENT!? WHO??
Tumblr media
It's beautiful. It's sweet. It's loving. It shows how in-tune they are to each other and that they care about each other's well being. No macho shit here, only a wholesome connection that we are all jealous of and celebrate.
Bonus analysis: knowing Cheng Xiaoshi's emotional state at this point, his re-suffering of the pain from being separated from his parents, then makes the message from Emma's mother and his reaction to it all the more emotionally touching.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Maybe the reason he sent the reply "I miss you" wasn't even for Emma's sake in that moment, but a result of the line between his own loneliness and hers having become so blurred in that sleepy moment.
I'd just like to clarify again, if you think they're gay together: cool. If you think this scene is the reason why: not cool.
Romance isn't the highest form of love, and it's not gay or weird to love your friends. What Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang have is really beautiful, and I honestly don't think I've ever seen such a great depiction of two men who are so comfortably close to each other.
Whether their relationship is platonic or otherwise doesn't really matter here. What upsets me is the unhealthy elevation of romantic love as the most true and purest form of love over all other kinds -- that you can only care about someone this much and want them in your life ONLY if you want to marry them or something -- an idea that ends up hurting a lot of people.
Romance isn't what makes this scene beautiful, nor is it what makes the bond they share so touching and engaging to watch. The fact that they honest-to-God love and care about each other is.

We need to see these two in sleeping bags in the animae! 😴
Tumblr media
CXS' hair is so good! It looks so soft.
Tumblr media
Fanfic writers, forget the bunk bed! They can hug from their sleeping bags, and if either of them have a nightmare, they don't have to go up or down the ladder to check!
Tumblr media
The moonlight... What's Lu Guang thinking as he sees his best friend? I like how their chins are more pronounced in the Manhua, it feels more natural and human.
Tumblr media
I agree with Cheng Xiaoshi's ??? here. What is Guang Guang thinking?
Tumblr media
Although zipping CXS is a bit cruel, tho. hilarious, I like how the previous scenes built up the tension to give us this. Absolutely melodramatic.
Drama Queen LG is the best.
I love how Lu Guang responds. His actions are like him saying, "Go to sleep" in that almost monotone, but soft voice which we know carries timelines of love for his closest friend. Beautiful.

What are your shiguang fav moments? And what are your fav personal headcanons about them?
Ah yes, another one like this, thank you anon! Shiguang is definitely a new favorite of mine! whether it's platonic or romantic, their relationship is just incredible, they're soulmates 🥰
Fav shiguang moments:
When CXS is in Emma's body and Lu Guang comforts him and it's like they're lying next to each other, Lu guang holding CXS's shoulder 🥲
Cheng Xiaoshi doing their usual hand clap so softly in s2
Lu Guang screaming when CXS got shot and beating the shit out of Qian Jin
LG hugging CXS when he comes back from the earthquake mission a sobbing mess
The moment CXS reaches out for Lu Guang in the opening 2 and when they touch he's thrown back in time. I just love it, especially with the music and after s2's ending it shows how tragic this is
The sequence where CXS is imprisoned, crying his eyes out because he thinks LG is dead 😭 so much angst but it was such an emotional and memorable moment for me
CXS wanting to go back in time to eat noodles and rubbing his head against LG like a cat :3
Headcanons:
Lu Guang always say good night to CXS before climbing on the top bed but one day he just kisses his cheek without thinking and CXS is SHOOK
Everyone thinks they're together because they act like an old married couple
Cheng Xiaoshi likes to eat noodles with Lu Guang
He thinks Lu Guang's voice is soothing and when he's stressed during a job, hearing his partner's voice guiding him calms him down
Every time they go out somewhere, just the two of them, CXS calls it a date to tease him and LG blushes
When Lu Guang can't finish his food, he automatically gives the rest to CXS who eats it without question
CXS likes hugs and would hug Lu Guang from behind, startling him every time
Their first kiss is actually accidental. Lu Guang needed to take pictures for his passport and went to a photobooth. CXS tried to photobomb him by sitting on LG's lap while he took his photos, but as CXS turned his head to look at him, LG, completely stunned, turned to him as well and their lips touch.
When they start dating, CXS always makes sure there's no misunderstanding. "You sure you love me?", "...yeah", "why the silence before you answered? lu guang???" But LG is definitely whipped, head over heels, a complete simp
Lu Guang loves to sit on their couch and read a book while Cheng Xiaoshi lays his head on his lap
They're not only clapping their hands, but interlace their fingers before time traveling now
I'll stop there 'cause I can't think about anything else for now. I can't wait for season 3, they are so cute together and I love their trio with Qiao Ling!! 😊

Excerpt-
Qiao An was watching television and cracking open sunflower seeds when the text from his daughter scared him.
Cheng Xiaoshi is in the hospital, it read. Can you come?
The news program that he had been watching mindlessly dimmed to almost nothingness without him needing to touch the remote. Qiao An swiped his phone from the coffee table, scattering sunflower seed shells onto the floor along the way. He called Qiao Ling, who picked up too late for his taste.
“Lingling,” he said. “What’s going on?”
Qiao Ling’s voice was chalky with exhaustion.
“Baba,” she said. “Cheng Xiaoshi got shot.”
Qiao An put the words together and traced their meaning in a seamless line, and yet he could not comprehend them. He stood up from his seat and pressed his phone tight to his face.
“What do you mean?” he demanded. “Was there a fight?”
Even as he said it, he disbelieved it. Cheng Xiaoshi had the sort of mouth that could get him in trouble, but the sort of heart that would compel anyone to forgive him for it. If someone had shot him, it would be in cold blood. The thought made Qiao An’s chest spark with fury, like a cigarette lighter too close to the gas stove.
“Someone was trying to hurt us,” Qiao Ling said. She sounded like the little girl that her father always saw her as. “He tried to stop them.”
“Are you all right?” Qiao An demanded. “Is Xiaoshi—what are the doctors saying?”
“I’m okay now,” she said, without sounding it. “Cheng Xiaoshi is in surgery. He lost a lot of blood, and the bullet—I don’t know if—“
Qiao An had already gone into his bedroom to dig out a pair of trousers and coat to throw over his sleep shirt. His wife stirred in her sleep on the other side of the mosquito net, but she did not wake up. He filled a backpack with anything he could put his hands on that he thought could help–a cardigan, if either Cheng Xiaoshi or Qiao Ling were cold. Their toothbrushes, which Cheng Xiaoshi kept a spare in their bathroom whenever he was too lazy to go back home. A book from the living room that the kids used to read all the time–it had been collecting dust in the bottom shelf for years, but in the light of their mortality Qiao An could only remember how to care for little children.

**link click spoilers for s1!**
lu guang never telling xiaoshi about seeing emma’s death on the news, because it wouldn’t do any good for xiaoshi, only make him feel terrible about himself and his ability.
lu guang choosing to bear the knowledge of xiaoshi’s consequences himself, because he only meant the best for emma, he didn’t know any better and most importantly lu guang could never bring himself to see xiaoshi shattered by the reality of what he’s done. so he hides it from him, all so that xiaoshi can live in ignorant bliss.
lu guang helping xiaoshi through his childhood trauma, firmly pushing him to work through the hard truth that he can’t change anything about his parents’ fate, but never being so harsh about it to the point of being unkind. he could never be unkind to xiaoshi.
this one line: “cheng xiaoshi, exit the picture if it’s too hard for you.”
lu guang silently kneeling to xiaoshi’s level and offering him a hug after that job, even after being punched in the face, because what xiaoshi needs the most right now is someone solid there to let him process everything that just happened.
lu guang telling qiao ling they need a break and making sure to say that he specifically wants one too, to shift the focus away from xiaoshi and protect him from even the possibility of feeling like a burden for needing some time off
lu guang asking qiao ling to stay at home with xiaoshi instead of coming to the police station while he was panicking about shanshan, “look at the state he’s in.” “now’s not the time to let your thoughts run wild,” lu guang doing his best to prevent xiaoshi from letting his own guilt consume himself.
lu guang refusing to accept the job that involved emma’s death because of the impact it would have on xiaoshi if he realized it was his actions that doomed her. him shoving the picture back into the envelope before xiaoshi could catch a glimpse.
lu guang panicking himself when he sees xiaoshi entering the image of emma alone, with no way of contacting him, that idiot, and him running straight home in an effort to do something, anything to bring him back despite knowing there isn’t actually anything he can do but wait for him to return.
lu guang stopping xiaoshi from impulsively accepting the job to go into shanshan’s photo, “are you sure you’d be able to handle it?” making sure xiaoshi really thinks through the fact that he’s gonna have to face the consequences of his actions, and he might not be mentally prepared to accept them.
and xiaoshi listens to him, he actually takes a step back and looks at it from a distance before making a decision, because that’s how much he’s grown to trust lu guang over years of him protecting xiaoshi ever so subtly like this.
xiaoshi is a person ruled by emotions, and lu guang knows this, which is why his highest priority has always been xiaoshi’s emotional state, and why xiaoshi physically needs him to regulate himself and survive.
i just. have a lot of feelings about these two
WHICH IS WHY I NEED AN EXPLANATION FOR WHAT HAPPENED AT THE END OF S1?? i will FOREVER be grateful that i found this series after s2 was done releasing, i don’t think i would’ve survived otherwise HHHH
bonus: qiao ling not even questioning when lu guang asks for a break for both of them, and not hesitating to turn down an offer with a smile without missing a beat when a client comes in. i love her so much??

Hello, for the character ask game, can I ask Megumi, Yosano and Cheng Xiaoshi? Thx :D
megumi
Sexuality Headcanon: pan king megumi my beloved. also definitely on the ace spectrum!
Gender Headcanon: cis or he/they nb or transmasc all work with me
A ship: ITAFUSHI!!! MY BELOVED BOYS
A BROTP: him and nobara duh. gege bring them back. they were so precious i could die
A NOTP: uhh. s.ukufushi or g.ojofushi is Not my cup of tea
A random headcanon: hes not good at comforting people so instead he brings his shikigami out for them! and he and tsumiki used to walk his divine dogs together for fun/when shes feeling down :)
General Opinion: MEGUMI!! I LOVE YOU MEGUMI WAUGH. hes the sweetest boy ever and hes so spiky and tough on the outside but on the inside he has so much love to give. also anyone who says hes annoying for wanting to give up on life. i will FIND YOU. hes been through so much. hes had his autonomy stripped and then his powers were used to hurt everyone he loves. the fact that hes even hanging on rn is so impressive i need to give him a big hug MEGUMI GET BEHIND ME!!
-
yosano
Sexuality Headcanon: lesbian or bi or anything works but she definitely Likes Women
Gender Headcanon: transfem yosano. points aggressively. see my vision
A ship: dont have one
A BROTP: her and ranpo!!! the siblings ever i could cry. and her and dazai is very compelling to me. also her and chuuya for the giggles
A NOTP: ok look. i actually liked k.ousano when i first heard about it bc they could be so interesting if you look at [gestures vaguely] their positions in life, their organisations, their morals, very clashing personalities, rs with mori etc etc. but most of the fandom sees them as ‘ooh hot dom lesbians’ or smth similar, and they’re treated as a throwaway ship/just made completely ooc to make it work and im just like. ?? so it kinda ruined the ship for me lol. theyd hate each other and thats what makes it interesting for me. they wouldnt fall in love at first sight
A random headcanon: she has a lower back tattoo! and she also gave herself a belly button piercing bc she was convinced being a medical doctor qualifies her for that, and ranpo is an enabler. but it worked out in the end
General Opinion: YOSANO AKIKO!! I LOVE YOU!! i actually didnt care much for her at all until season 4 and her backstory (dare i say best one in bsd) was shown. then i was like WOAV. and she rose up my ranking so fast. i love that shes KIND and a protector and not afraid to be fierce, and i also love that she cherishes life so much. youd think being able to bring life back so easily means she’d disregard it more but NO! gestures to her fight with kajii. i think she deserves the freaking WORLD shes my everything <33
-
cheng xiaoshi
Sexuality Headcanon: i dont think he’d label himself. just queer :)
Gender Headcanon: also no labels! he goes by he/him but he plays around with gender expression (growing up with qiao ling will do that to you)
A ship: shiguang my beloveds… best ship ever… romantic or qpr or secret third option. they are just meant to be okay
A BROTP: of course him and qiao ling. he calls her qiao ling jie like i could CRY. they are the world to me
A NOTP: i cant see him with anyone other than lu guang lol they are soulmates. so any other ship ig
A random headcanon: his favourite colour is blue :) and other than bball he also really enjoys volleyball. and back in uni, him and xu shanshan are karaoke besties!!! they both have really good singing voices
General Opinion: CHENG XIAOSHI! THE CHARACTER EVER!! god hes just so kind and selfless and despite everything hes been through he has. SO MUCH EMPATHY. and of course that could be because of his powers but i also think that it’s because cxs is HIMSELF. yes he has access to the person’s feelings and memories, but not everyone can really put themselves in other peoples shoes so easily you know? they could feel it, but cxs understands it. id destroy worlds for him haha…
send me characters!

sooooooooooo i binged this entire show + ep 5.5 + chibi shorts + caught up to s2 over like 2 days and i was like “haha yeah this show is entertaining and all, not perfect or anything but it’s fun, I like Lu Guang” to “OH MY GOD I LOVE THEM” in the span of like 24 hours. 
I don’t know Chinese naming conventions, in other words if like you HAVE to write first and last name all the time or how nicknames work, or anything like that. I wanted to drop the “Cheng” and just refer to him as “Xiaoshi” a couple of times because it felt stuffy, but I realized that I don’t think they ever do that in the show? So I just referred to him with his full name every time, haha
This is a little fic of them practicing the chibi dance for the shorts. Lu Guang is whipped: the fic, basically
Anyway here take this. There’s another one coming in 5 minutes lol
              “Absolutely not.”
           “Lu Guaaaaaang!” Cheng Xiaoshi whined. “C’mon! Think of all the customers that it’ll draw in! Besides, it wasn’t even my idea, so you can’t get mad at me!”
           “It’ll draw in plenty of customers without me. You and Qiao Ling have fun.”
           “No, we need our resident pretty boy with us! Plus, it’ll look so much better with three people! Pleeeeaaase?” Cheng Xiaoshi was giving him that look again. Why was it so hard to say no to this boy? Because you love him, his mind unhelpfully provided, which he pointedly chose to ignore.
           So this was how he ended up doing this silly little dance with Qiao Ling and Cheng Xiaoshi. Cheng Xiaoshi was surprisingly patient with the ever-clumsy Lu Guang, which was surprising; he was sure he’d be annoyed and make fun of how uncoordinated he is. After practicing for a couple of days over several hours, Qiao Ling and Cheng Xiaoshi had it down perfectly, but the same couldn’t be said for Lu Guang. They were ready to record the promo, but Lu Guang still didn’t have the moves down perfectly. During the break of one of their “super extra special exciting bonus lessons” as Cheng Xiaoshi had decided to call it, between just the two of them, they were sat down as Lu Guang decided to mention they should just do it without him.
           “This is silly. I’m only slowing you two down. Just shoot it without me. If we go ahead with recording it tomorrow, I’m gonna mess up.”
           “Nah, we need you! And it’s fine if you mess up. Makes it feel more real.”
           “…If you say so,” Lu Guang murmurs, too exhausted from practice to argue. A pause. “…Sorry for being so clumsy,” he mutters. Cheng Xiaoshi turns to look at him.
           “It’s all good! If anything…” he begins, then snorts. Lu Guang looks at him, frowning. Cheng Xiaoshi was definitely about to make fun of him again. He began preparing himself to make a clever comeback. “If anything, it’s nice to see that the serious, perfect, flawless Mr. Guang isn’t as perfect as he seems,” he finishes. “Even you have things you suck at,” he says with a smile. Lu Guang feels like he should be offended, but the way Cheng Xiaoshi is looking at him and the way he said it, he can’t help but feel a wave of fondness overtake him.
           “I feel like I just got insulted, but…thanks,” he murmurs. Cheng Xiaoshi laughs, and god Lu Guang loves that sound. He stands up and offers his hand.
           “One more round?” he asks. Lu Guang takes it and lets himself be helped up.
           “One more,” he agrees.
           --
           They end up filming the next day. Cheng Xiaoshi is of course flawless, giving Qiao Ling a run for her money. Lu Guang stumbles a few times and has to look over to Cheng Xiaoshi to remember the moves, but they successfully make it through the dance either way.
           “And…done!” Qiao Ling excitedly chirps, running over to turn off the camera.
           “YES!” Cheng Xiaoshi shouts. Lu Guang turns to him, ready for a high five or something, but is instead surprised by a tackle hug from Cheng Xiaoshi, with a force that almost knocks him over. “We did it!” he exclaims. Lu Guang feels himself blush as he returns the hug.
           “Yeah, but I messed up a few times,” he mumbles, ever the pessimist. Cheng Xiaoshi rolls his eyes, pulling away, and Lu Guang immediately misses the warmth.
           “Shut up, you did great! I’m proud of you, man! Your hard work paid off!” Cheng Xiaoshi says with a grin, ruffling Lu Guang’s hair. The blush deepens, and he can’t look Cheng Xiaoshi in the eyes. How is it so easy for him to rattle off praise like that?
            Qiao Ling takes that moment to come back with the camera. “What’re you two lovebirds talking about?”
           “Lo-lovebirds!?” Cheng Xiaoshi sputters, turning to look at her. Is he blushing too? She rolls her eyes.
           “Anyway, it’s time to celebrate! I’m thinking boba, c’mon!” she exclaims, walking over to Cheng Xiaoshi and grabbing his arm. “Hey!” he exclaims, and extends his arm to reach out to drag Lu Guang along too. Of course Lu Guang lets himself be dragged, of course he doesn’t try to pull away. She and Cheng Xiaoshi start bickering, something about how he should be the one to pick where they go, but Lu Guang drowns it out and just lets himself be pulled along. He feels every point of contact between him and Cheng Xiaoshi, the warmth of his hand on his arm, and can’t help but smile to himself.
           Maybe all the silly dancing was worth it.

@fumalsamakah / cheng xiaoshi and tianxi!
Xixi is good at making herself small. It had been an important skill, when she was little; Mama and gege both taught her. She's still little now, in many ways. But she remembers, fills the habit without needing to think about it or think of what birthed it.
They know she's here — Lu Guang and Cheng Xiaoshi. She hadn't really paid attention to the conversation / Qiao Ling asked, could she stay with you guys today? I've got errands to run I can't take her with / that had prompted it, but she knows she's here for the day. She'd set up in a corner of the living room with a sketchbook Qiao Ling got her and her coloured pencils, quiet and out of the way and small and easy to overlook, and the boys had, after a few awkward minutes, returned to their usual business.
Maybe that's why Cheng Xiaoshi makes a weird, shocked sound when he comes back downstairs after an hour or two and sees her, like he'd forgotten she was there. She blinks at him, only curling into herself a little, sketchbook hugged to her chest. It's often bad when men are shocked to see you but she knows, too, that Cheng Xiaoshi is not like either of her fathers. Qiao Ling wouldn't love anyone who was. Qiao Ling is the strongest woman in the world, and the best. And Cheng Xiaoshi had tried to protect both of them, in the subway, when she'd — she'd ———
She raises her hand and gives a small, shy wave as greeting, then, after a beat, holds out her sketchbook in offering. Want to see what I drew? That feels polite.

@pcachlovc​​ asked: ‘ why are you crying yourself to sleep? ’ (puts a lu guang into your askbox because....even more pain...whY NOT)
Tumblr media
It haunted him. Those moments rolled through him every time he closed his eyes. Beige shirt stained red. Lifeless. The way his hand had hung off the sofa, dangling upon the will of gravity. An image seared onto his mind that Xiaoshi thought he would never be able to escape. He’d spent too long thinking about it this morning and hadn’t been able to shake the thought that he might as well have been the one to commit such an atrocity. Xiaoshi couldn’t help but think a century could pass, and he would still be repeating those moments over and over and over again.
Tumblr media
That voice, ever calm, held no malice or accusation and yet, it was too loud. Hands covered his face, like some childish attempt to shield himself off from the world. “I’m sorry.” It’s all he had. What else was he meant to say? Such a simple word, but complex ones would not catch the depth of feeling he had on the situation. “I’m sorry…”
