Without a doubt, he is stronger than anyone, but during his youth, there were probably moments when he confided his weaknesses to his best friend.
Can you imagine being little Hong Hong'er, always bullied and picked on and told how hated you are and at your lowest point in your short, tragic life so far, the man that saved you, now become a gracious god, reveals himself to you, to tell you to keep on living, to tell you he's there for you and that your existence isnt cursed even though everybody says so? To let you know he can feel your devotion and faith?
And can you imagine later growing up, seeing this same wonderful man go through tragedies that nobody else would have been able to endure, remembering his kindness and seeing it be used as a reason for torment - and then later, perhaps upon ascension or any other means, learning that it is forbidden for heavenly beings to reveal themselves to mortals?
No wonder Hua Cheng loved him for 800 years
Hua Cheng (And Hualian) but as Textposts I’ve found
Xie Lian Version
"Let me see you (how I want to be seen)", also known in my WIPs as "Dancer Xie Lian" or "E-Ming's wish", is a Tian Guan Ci Fu fanfic I started writing eons ago and that is finally here with:
Hualian post-canon domestic tooth-rotting fluff.
E-Ming loving hours in which Ruoye gets love too.
Hua Cheng being a headache while having a headache.
Dance!
Summary: When Xie Lian woke up, two things were unexpectedly the same as how they were hundreds of years ago: he spontaneously got in the mood to dance —something that he didn’t remember happening since his first banishment— and Hua Cheng decided to hide his face.
Thanks a lot to Massie for beta-reading~
When the villain comes to Wei Wuxian like "Oh yeah? You and what army??" And Wei Wuxian is like "watch this b*tch" and creates a whole paper doll legion.
(Oh, yeah, and then Hanguang Jun arrives, like, the main hero, and protects Wei Wuxian and then everybody knows they're fucked.)
My little animation about teen Hua Cheng trying to put his love on the paper. @oryunart
Look me in the eyes and tell me alcohol wouldn't make Victor say literally anything. (No Yuuris were harmed in the shattering of that glass).
Also if you're wondering where Victor's glass went... a wizard did it 🤡
