《Angel's wings {MXTX}》Ch. 1- Rock a baby on a river
Advertisement
it's cold!" Wei Wuxian grumbled as he edged as near as possible to the fireplace without being caught on fire.
A moment later, Wei Wuxian felt something heavy draped around him. The man looked up to see his husband adjusting his outer white robes on top of him. Wei Wuxian grinned up at him.
"Aw, Lan Zhan, you don't have to! Just hug me, and I'll feel a lot warmer. :)" Wei Wuxian stood up and pushed Lan Wangji onto a chair by the shoulders before plopping himself onto Lan Wangji's lap.
Lan Wangji obeyed and hugged him close. Wei Wuxian hummed in contentment.
The couple was currently staying in a small cabin by the Luo River up the north. The cabin, when they first arrived, was an abandoned one, very creaky with a whole lot of dust bunnies. Now it was still very creaky, but Wei Wuxian had chased all of the dust bunnies away. Well, most of it anyway.
"You know, Lan Zhan, I'm kinda hungry. Do you think I'll be able to find fish by the river? I'm suddenly craving grilled fish," Wei Wuxian chats as the two sit idly by the small fireplace. The warm glow of the flames cast a shadow of the couple on the wall, appearing to have emerged as one.
Lan Wangji furrowed his eyebrows slightly, how can one find fish in the frigid waters of the Luo River? Even if there was, he does not wish for Wei Ying to go out in the freezing weather.
"You know, there must be fish in the river! I'm sure of it, Lan Zhan. Fish can survive in very cold waters! Here, I'll go outside and catch some fish. You stay here and prepare something to cook. And then tonight we'll feast!" Wei Wuxian exclaimed happily.

To Lan Wangji's dismay, Wei Wuxian hopped out of his lap and went to get the fishing rod.
Like a little rabbit, Wei Wuxian went from place to place in the cabin, grabbing everything he needed to fish some fish. Including a small cup of worms.
"Okay, cya, Lan Zhan! Wei Ying will be right back!" Wei Wuxian opened the cabin door and blew Lan Wangji a kiss. Then he stepped out and shut the door.
A waft of cold wind had escaped into the cabin, fluttering Lan Wangji's hair who was about to draw circles at the corner of the cabin under a gloomy cloud.
Wei Wuxian rubbed his hands together, letting out a puff of air. It turned into a puff of cloud, condensed by the coldness in the air.
He looks for a good spot to fish. Peering into the clear cold waters, Wei Wuxian began to feel doubtful. There wasn't a single fish nor ripple in slight. The river was as calm and still as Lan Qiren meditating.
There wasn't a single life out here as far as Wei Wuxian can see. Seriously, there wasn't even a single bird in sight.
The whole scene was so motionless that one could have mistaken it for a still image.
This was why it immediately caught Wei Wuxian's gaze when a small bundle of something drifted down the river.
...
"LAN ZHAN! HEAT A BUCKET OF WATER!!" Wei Wuxian hollered as he kicked open the wooden door with his boot.
Lan Wangji looked up from chopping onions on the cutting board. Hearing his husband's panic cry, he wasted no time grabbing a medium-sized bucket. Pretty soon, a warm bucket of water was available.
While Lan Wangji was heating the water, Wei Wuxian was walking hurriedly back and forth in the small cabin, a small bundle in his arms. The man had taken off a layer of his robes and wrapped it around the bundle.

"Wei Ying," Lan Wangji said when the requested hot water was ready.
Wei Wuxian hurried over. Lan Wangji's eyes slightly widened when he got a glimpse of what was inside the bundle of clothes.
It was a baby.
A real-life baby, in flesh and breathing. But barely.
Lan Wangji wanted to ask questions. But first, the baby needs help. And Wei Wuxian was about to dump the whole kid, robes and all into the water.
"..." Lan Wangji took the bundle from his Wei Ying.
Wei Wuxian blinked. "Oh, then you do it I guess."
"Mn."
Lan Wangji carefully bathed the baby while Wei Wuxian watched in fascination. The rosy color of the baby's cheek was slowly returning.
After bathing, the baby was wrapped in a warm towel. Wei Wuxian 'ooh' and 'ah' over the cute chubby face.
The baby, who was, perhaps unconscious by nearly freezing to death, had at some point turned into sleeping in the comfort of the warmth. And now it was stirring, about to wake up.
Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji didn't notice they were holding their breath as the baby's eyelids slowly fluttered open.
A pair of warm starry eyes stared up at them sleepily.
A silence as the baby and the adults' eyes met.
"Lan Zhan," Wei Wuxian breathed. "He's so cute."
Who could have left such a defenseless baby alone to fend itself in the icy waters of the Luo River? Or conceivably not to fend?

Tim the Engineer
Summoned against his will to a world of swords and magic, an engineering student struggles to find a way home under the shadow of a world devouring threat. ***************************** Updates: 5/13/19: Revisions to several chapters for clarity, grammar, and style. 4/29/19: A short side story and artwork has been added to the blog. 4/8/19: A Side Story has been updated on my new blog (every writer is required to have one). https://talesfromliahar.wordpress.com/ ***************************** “The summoning scenarios are broken down into groups of ten.” Emi Ito stated. “Don’t, don’t you dare say another word.” Muttered Genzo Uchida. His eyes had turned bloodshot and his hands shook with rage. “The first thirty…” “Shut up!” Genzo bellowed “How dare you help these disrespectful gaijin?” Flecks of spit and madness flew from his face, his fist raised ready to strike. But Emi did not flinch, instead she was about ready to continue when Yuma Takeuchi interrupted her. “Uchida, please,” her sweet sounding words could melt ice. “I think we will have a better chance of getting home if we all work together.” When she glanced up with her sleepy looking eyes at Genzo Uchida he deflated visibly. “Were not getting home.” Uchida said coolly. “Group summoning, large, that puts us in the 60 series. No one came to greet us after five minutes of arrival. That leaves scenarios 68 and 69. In scenario 68 there is something that binds the large group together; they are all classmates or a single family. But thanks to the gaijin” he spit out the word “I think we are scenario 69 with no way home.” Ikko Inoue’s eyes went wide, while Katsukno and Hayata started muttering to themselves. Tim took on a serious look and rubbed his scruffy chin. Emi maintained her stoic expression while trying to find something to refute. McKenzie glanced at Randall and giggled. Randall took the prompting of his teammate and followed up by approaching Genzo. “Uh, so we are in a sixty-nine?” “Yes.” Replied Genzo with the seriousness of someone who’s life was about to end. McKenzie covered her mouth and snickered. “You and me, were stuck in a sixty-nine situation?” Randall pushed with a grin. “Yes, we are all stuck in a sixty-nine scenario together!” Genzo retorted in anger. McKenzie fell on her butt laughing. “What the hell is so funny?” Demanded Genzo, whose face had turned red. “It’s a problem with the automatic translation.” Retorted Tim. Randall, who seemed unable to quit started in again “So, about this sixty-ni…” Genzo interrupted Randall with a swift punch to the face. But, because of their height difference it was a bit of an uppercut that left Randall rattled. Tim and Ikko moved to step in between the two, but Genzo showed no further hostility. Instead he just stared at his clenched fist with such intensity it grabbed the attention of the room. “I unlocked a skill.” He said bluntly. ***************************** This is not a light novel, but people who like light novels should enjoy the themes of this book. ***************************** A Map of the Region

BODY&SHADOW
AN ILLUSTRATED NOVEL • UPDATES TUESDAY AND FRIDAY In a time before living memory, the King Dragon of the Void watched the world and realized there was a crack. He realized that humanity was destroying the rock upon which they lived; they leaked life’s code into the churning chaos. At first the change was imperceptible: nanites overtook microorganisms, bacteria, viruses, amoebas. Insects became increasingly inorganic; birds and lizards followed soon after. Even humans were infected by their own advances, cell by cell, till there was not a person left on earth who wasn’t at least part synthetic, the product of a prior generation’s carelessness. The world’s population was ravaged by mechanical viruses with no vaccines; they were mercilessly overtaken by bacteria that knew no death. Soon, most of the planet was empty and only a handful remained who remembered the hedonist realm they came from; only a few were left who remembered what the world looked like when their buildings touched the sky. The King Dragon of the Void watched the rock turn. He watched humans cower as the Old World fell down around them; watched their great monuments crumble into dusty ruins; watched their codes become precious, ancient gem memories forged under the crushing pressure of so many fallen stones. The world has spun many times around the sun since chaos swallowed man whole. It is a simpler time than the one that died out, but the people now are not immune to the folly of the people before. There is old code everywhere: in the water, in the air, in the trees. The heart of man has been replaced by power cores, many of which are hard-coded with preternatural abilities—when they die, an esoteric mountain sect collects their cores and stores them in their hollow mountain home to preserve the sanctity and dignity of human death. They’ve learned to harness artifacts of the old world, gemstones full of codes their nanite infused bodies can parse as spells imbuing their users with great power; they inlay them into their bodies, into their skins, connected to their cores by copper conduit and gold tracers; they dress themselves in tattoos to advertise their prowess; they battle for relics in arenas, fight for them in the open world wherever they are found. The King Dragon of the Void watches the rock turn and wonders: when will this hunger finally make the rock stop spinning? WELCOME TO FANXING CITY … Twenty-five years ago, Fanxing City and the surrounding lands were commanded by the mad King Zao Beiguan. For many years, the King hoarded wealth, artifacts, food; he demanded tribute from a people already taxed to the edges of their existence and expected they be happy with their circumstances. Noncompliance was often punished harshly, bodies displayed proudly on Fanxing’s streets as a warning, from the city gates to the Zao palace’s golden doors. The youths of several prominent clans came together to overthrow the tyrant and made names for themselves as legendary heroes across the land: Tian, Ren, Feng, Gui, Ma, and Zhenxi. Even wanderers from the Luanshi sect descended from Yunji mountain to aid the rebellion. When the dust settled after three years, Tian Yunyong ascended the throne of Fanxing and swore to honour his slain father’s memory, and has maintained Fanxing’s peace with generosity and mercy where fear and cruelty once reigned.
