    Summary

    She would know her anywhere, be it in dreams, a passerby, a story. It’s not a ghost. Bright-eyed, sun-kissed, and life-worn, she’s different in all the ways Maomao thought she would be after all these years, in all the ways she hoped she would be despite the tragedy that seemed set in stone for her and hers.

    Quietly, as though an earnest prayer, unspoken but felt all the same: Shisui.

    Or: Ten years after Shisui leaves her, Maomao finds herself in a nameless village, chasing the trail of a ghost.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    light escapes from the heart’s room and for a moment

    you believe the clock will stop itself. Absence.

    You see: light escapes from a body at night and in the morning, despite the oppressive vacancy

    of her leaving’s shadow, light comes up over the mountains and it is and it is and it is. - Ada Limón, Relentless

    To arrive at love, then, is to arrive through obliteration. Eviscerate me, we mean to say, and I’ll tell you the truth. - Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous, pg. 119.

    Lesbians will literally do ANYTHING to not go to therapy. It's crazy out here.

    Really great post-movie fic. CL, if you're reading this, I'm putting you on a list solely for you.

    Summary

    It’s not the first time Ruan Mei has toyed with training Jingliu. But those were purely self-defense, meant as a shield to keep her protected in case Jingliu became non-compliant, and for those times it served her well. Excellent, even. But she wants something more.

    (Or: Ruan Mei uses a clicker to train/tame/worsen Jingliu.)
