I’m thinking about Pangzi adopting Xiao Mei and how incredibly difficult it probably is for him to actually officially adopt her.
As Pangzi is unmarried and the age gap between him and Xiao Mei isn’t 40+ years, he already isn’t eligible to adopt her.
Then there’s also the case of her biological father. He won’t just agree to letting Pangzi adopt her, so unless he fully disappears and nobody can track him down. He’s going to be a problem. No, he isn’t going to take care of her. No, he isn’t going to let his ex-wife’s lover adopt his daughter.
I’m assuming it will be easy for them to pay off her dad into agreeing, but will they think he deserves it? Will they find another way? They have a massive group of people on their side who will happily make this abusive asshole’s life a nightmare, so.
But even if he agrees, they’ll still have the same problems I mentioned first. So, does Pangzi marry someone? If yes, who? Do they find someone (Xiao Hua? Wu Erbai?) who has some kind of connections with the government to pull some strings for them?

don’t tell me you’re not good enough for her. you’re trashing her feelings for you. she doesn’t love you like a girl adores a hero in a blind and indecent way. she finds some of herself in you — that will never be defeated by problems, never give in to reality, and will always pursue the dream. think carefully about it. don’t let her down. { where dreams begin episode 24 }

Yup, still on my gay coproganda bs.
One of the more interesting things about Jiang Ting's character is how much he doesn't actually want to be a character. His defense mechanism is to turn the question around. We first see this when Yan Xie confronts him the first time about being 'Captain Jiang'. He asks Jiang Ting what he has to say about all of the things he'd uncovered about Jiang Ting's past, and Jiang Ting's response is "What do you want 'Captain Jiang' to say? Tell me and I'll say it."
And he does this so often. He could lie, he could tell a half-truth, instead he asks what the other person wants to hear. What they want him to be.
And guess what? I'm totally normal about that. XD
The earliest memory we have of him is as a child, cleaning his father's body and being grateful that he wasn't beaten today. He's too young to understand that his father overdosed (we get no information about his mother) and is already dead. He's too young to realize that the majority of the people in his small village are either addicts or dealers, that it's a miracle he was born without HIV. When he's sent to the orphanage, he's isolated and bullied, internalized that he's unclean and unlovable when he looks in the mirror. When Yan Xie gets angry at the corruption in the orphanage Bu Wei grew up in, he just replies that 'It's like that, in places like these.'
When Ma Xiang confronts him, asking him who he is really. Is he the mole that got Yan Xie shot and nearly killed, lying on an operating room table while they waited for news? Jiang Ting says it himself, he's the most suspicious out of all of them, because even swept under the rug, the rest of the division Knows something is off about their 'Consultant Lu'. Jiang Ting doesn't define himself. He says "I'm who your Yan-ge thinks I am."
Yan Xie listens to the half-truths he's spun about himself after he dragged Jiang Ting out of the river, and Jiang Ting tells him: The safest thing for you is to hand me over to the police. I can't make myself believe you, because I have nothing now. I can't respond to this feeling, because I don't want to lie to you. Whether you hand me in or not is up to you.
He even does this to Wen Shao, when his loyality is probed. "What do you want me to say?" Except Wen Shao thinks he understands Jiang Ting the best, that only Jiang Ting understands him. Jiang Ting tells the truth then, that the one who understood his reasons wasn't him. Yan Xie was the one who correctly guessed the motives.
Because Jiang Ting has never been wanted as himself. He was the child of drug addicts, tossed into a orphanage where the corruption was rampant and money went into the adult's hands more often than not. When he finally found a friend, someone who liked him and didn't chase him away, his first thought is of saving his friend. Wen Shao has money and a family who loves him, so it's okay if he dies as long as Wen Shao lives. When his friend betrays him, saves himself first, Jiang Ting is happy.
Except his first friend, the person who says now everything I have is yours and you will be my only brother, the one person who likes someone like Jiang Ting, is the son of a drug lord. He forces the kidnappers who hurt them to take heroin, then turns to Jiang Ting and asks if he's happy now.
The child who watched his father overdose and has finally learned to understand what drugs are, is forced to watch more people die the same way by the one person who was supposed to love him.
He's happy. He's very happy. (The lie is so weak - he's ten years old and he's never had to hide himself like this before, despite everything. He's only just realizing that his first lie was already made, because he can't be loyal to Wen Shao, not like this. But he lies, because what else can he do? )
Wu Tun adopted him to keep his son, Wen Shao, in check. He's a pawn, put into a good school and groomed to be a policeman with padded pockets who will let the drug cartel off. He hates - hates - that he has no choice in this, he just has to become the pawn Wu Tun wants.
Wen Shao returns and he's brought new, even worse drugs with him. He wants his Red Queen on his side, gives Jiang Ting an apartment to rest in, to take care of things that would be 'inconvienent' otherwise, and Jiang Ting hates and hates even more.
So he plans to kill the King of Spades, then take out the Ace of Clubs. It can't erase what he is, but maybe he can move forward. All the over time, the stress, the loneliness will be worth it. (I'm so very very Normal about how he can't just agree to hanging out with his coworkers, how he over thinks and decides half way to take the agreement back and say 'let's talk about it tomorrow'. Because he wants to go, for the first time in his life he wants to do something as simple as going out with coworkers - possibly friends.)
Except he's been sold out. His plan falls through. His team dies and he'll never be able to talk about it tomorrow, and when he runs into the fire, all that's left for him is three years of being comatose and the King of Spades going free.
When he meets Yan Xie, he hides. He wants to be what Yan Xie wants him to be, but he can't. He's still tied as the Queen of Hearts, haunted by the sins he's committed and the people who died. He comments that Yan Xie is blind falling for someone like him, calling him beautiful all the time. That this crush that he'd never allowed himself to pursue has come back into his life and wants to be picked by him.
The Red Queen's heart that was so full of hate now has something else. But even if Yan Xie was blind now, would he still love Jiang Ting when he saw the truth?
He hides and he hides and lies, and when the cards are drawn, he finally tells the truth, finds something to define himself by. "I love you, Yan Xie."
Yan Xie's faith in him is already broken. It has to be broken further. The best lie is the one that is the truth that no one believes.
#Breaking through the Clouds#Huai Shang#This is Mem's life#Meta and things#This novel is actually a happy ending btw#This one is way less coherent than the previous post I wrote#but normal levels of Unhinged demanded I write more.#Also I adore how Ma Xiang and Han Xiaomei both come to the same conclusion as Yan Xie independently#like they both believe in Jiang Ting despite everything as well#Of course they've heard things#But they trusted in his actions instead of his words and I'm Normal about that#The whole department is just like so yeah we can't talk about Consultant Lu to any of the higher ups#And we're totally keeping the vice captain's piece on the side quiet#because obviously he's a cool guy? Ignore the fact he's supposed to be dead and sold out his previous team#Obviously Consultant Lu has only helped them.#Jiang Ting why are you like this let them love you

DMBJ Rare Pair Exchange Reveals (1)
Discussed roughly in order of the writing.
“Three Meals With Mr Wu”
This was for the person I matched with, Hils, who wanted among other things: “Pangzi introduces Piaopiao to his other partner(s) and they figure out how to make it work”
And I… didn’t entirely put as much Pangzi in there as I’d intended, but I hope Hils had fun.
One of the things I like about the Daomu Biji novels, and many of the visual adaptations (a lot of the movies are pretty lean), is that they’re carrier-bag stories that persistently drag “ordinary” people, with their preoccupations and fears and loves, right through the adventure shenanigans and Cosmic, and the stories remind us that these preoccupations and fears and loves matter right alongside the protagonist’s worries. Piaopiao is one of those people. But also, her story in the back half of Reboot s1 parallels Wu Xie and Pangzi pretty strongly - she’s exploring the dangerous world of illegal antiquing even as Wu Xie explores Warehouse 11; she’s grappling with the oncoming death of a loved one even as Pangzi is. So… when I started writing her interacting with Wu Xie, I wanted to explore points of commonality.
The introduction to the Sand Sea novels is from the POV of a third-party writer who made friends with ‘Guan Gen the Photographer’ (Wu Xie’s alias) at a mixer, largely because they’d both experienced tragedies in their lives and could relate, which evolved into sending packets of cakes to each other for a while until he Disappears Mysteriously. It seemed a reasonable thing to borrow for Piaopiao, who has also had a life of trouble. There was also another prompt in the collection, about Wu Xie and Piaopiao meeting on an arranged date, all of which boiled into a scenario of Wu Xie Finds A Fake Girlfriend So His Parents Won’t Worry About His Loveless Existence.
It was definitely interesting how much Wu Xie put into appearances, during that first meeting, and how much Piaopiao wasn’t looking at his face but at the visual code of his clothing. And how polite and extremely frank they could be, and at her perception of the bleak wasteland one saw just as soon as one looked properly at his eyes.
I think my favourite scene was in Xue Wu’s house, as they eat together while Pangzi sleeps, and slip right back into Extremely Frank.
“[I meant tell me] something true about you.”
After a pause, Mr Wu says, “My grandfather named me Wu Xie.”
Piaopiao stares at him.
“I’m sorry,” he adds. “I’ve had a complicated life.”
And also, at the end of that scene. Because Piaopiao is friendly but not so close that his grief will cause her pain, Wu Xie just… stumbles into a bit of a breakdown. And she sits with him and offers a handkerchief and is just quietly there and won’t blab to Pangzi that Wu Xie might, god forbid, be a little bit sad about his impending death. Ai.
The I-Ching epigrams came quite late in the writing process. I described Yatou’s eyes as ‘deep as a lake under the mountains’ then wondered what that hexagram might mean. And it worked pretty well: Decrease, which is about gain and loss and the balance between people. And since I knew from the first that Piaopiao was still going to get into an accident, just not a lethal one… at some point Pangzi was going to have to choose which loved one he left to fend for themself. Who gets deprived? Can they balance things so that their increase does not decrease others? (Answer: yes, because Wushanju is a polycule, thank you for coming to my TED Talk.)
“Morning, Evening”
So this was written as a Treat and I was almost ready to post it when I realised I was impinging on a DNW but didn’t want to change that part of the plot so in the end I had no chill and posted it as a general fic and then it turned out the potential giftee, mekare, liked it anyway. So it all worked out in the end! Hmmm, I wonder if @merinnan would let me tuck it into the Collection?
Anyway. Giftee wanted Piaopiao retiring with the Iron Triangle to Rain Village, with domesticity and fluff, and possibly evolving their relationship to include a new person. In the end I went with some short scenes throughout the day, with the people in ones and twos, coming together near the end for dinner. Because people can do their own thing and still be part of a family, yeah?
So two things that come up in the Rain Village era of the novels is that a) Xiaoge often just knows when someone is about to die of old age or sickness and will sit with them, talk with them, work to honour their last wish etc. and b) Wu Xie has acquired a Special Interest in ecology, which naturally led into Xiaoge helping a v. old lady up a mountain to fly a brilliant red kite one more time before she goes, while Wu Xie replants a deforested slope with Xiao-Mei - while also speculating on when they can get fish from the stream they’re cleaning while also telling a funny story and meditating on the nature of Wanting Things, because if I ever write Wu Xie only thinking about One Thing at One Time, I will have lost touch with canon. And I dunno - it just seemed really important to have scenes that touched on the cycle of life and death.
(Xiao-Mei and Wu Xie are spending a lot of time together because her mum and Pangzi are doing that lovey-dovey honeymoon stuff right now and Xiao-Mei and Wu Xie are Not Monsters.)
I wanted something a little funny for Pangzi - but also that little shock when he realises he’s in his happy ending(!!!). And Piaopiao quietly getting used to the idea that other people have her back right now, while also living the glamorous life of a Notorious Woman(™). And, of course, Pangzi and Piaopiao slow-dancing to an old record while other people do the cooking scutwork seems like Relationship Goals to me. May they continue to slow dance for many years to come.
