littlesmartart:DRAWTOBER #24 - The Lost Cause by KouriArashiAU in which Nie Huaisang and Jin Guangyao work together to take down Jin Guangshan from the beginning.Or: the story in which Nie Huaisang just wants to paint fans and feed birds and he doesn’t understand why this is so much to ask.I am always a sucker for Huaisang + JGY as murder gremlin bros and this fic is such an EXCELLENT example of their dynamic! it’s hilarious and clever - and Huaisang is hilarious and clever - and it’s such a great exercise in how just one tiiiiiny little change can alter the outcome of the whole narrative. my favourite part is definitely the dynamic between these two, but also something I really like and have sort of absorbed into my personal thoughts on Huaisang is him taking on a scout role in the war because canonically, he IS sneaky and he IS observant and he IS good at being sneaky and observant whilst stalking through the underbrush. also very entertainingly addresses the question of how exactly Huaisang, the only one not dragged off to the slaughtertortoise cave, got out of No Good Very Bed Wen Summer Camp.all in all a fun read, a great take on Huaisang, and lbr, provides the canon that we deserve. -- source link
