I just checked out of curiosity. #TranslationOfRelics has nearly 500 uses of "highness" and 200 "gege"s. HC's own name only shows up about 300 times total. This feels in line with HC's priorities. Maybe too much HC for that though.

#TranslationOfRelics chapter 4 posted!

I already made this joke in the authors note, but: The chapter in which Hua Cheng gets (a) head.

Translation of relics fully edited! We'll find out how many thousand words of authors notes and outline and word count tracking I left in the doc once I finish posting. Current word count in the WIP doc is 32752.

Also I made a graph of the word count and square brackets/editing notes from the end of the first draft through now. Note, each data point is a writing session, NOT a single day.

#TranslationOfRelics Chapter 3!

Xie Lian speaks! Also Hua Cheng is reminded of a mass grave, but he gets to talk to his highness so he'll be fine.

#TranslationOfRelics chapter 2 is up!

And I remembered to go back and add the chapter name to chapter 1, so Distal and Dexter are both posted and tomorrow is Sinister. Surely this means tomorrow's update is when everything turns into pure fluff right? Right?

We have gore, we have hurt/comfort, we have identity reveals and confessions yet to come, we have a summary:

Lang Qianqiu did not seal his teacher in a coffin, his rage was too great to merely seal away the source of his grief.

In other words:

Xie Lian needs a little help to put himself back together, in a very literal way. Hua Cheng would give anything to be able to.

#HuaLian #HualianFanfic #TGCF

#TranslationOfRelics snippet immediately preceding the last bit of scene I need to write.

The only way forward now is through Lang Qianqiu. Beside him, Xie Lian is pale but his highness' face is set with determination.

"Well gege, do you think he'll bring backup?"

A genuinely pained look crosses his highness' face. "No. He'll come alone."

They don't wait long. The godling arrives with plenty of warning, thundering footsteps and shouted instructions echoing through the halls.

The door slams open.
