Title: a choking gall and a preserving sweet
Author: Zdenka
Fandom: Tian Guan Ci Fu

Characters: He Xuan/Shi Qingxuan
Challenge: Amnesty XXXVII / #42 - hunger
Warnings: major spoilers, referenced canonical character death
Summary: If he indulges Shi Qingxuan's whims, it is solely for the sake of his own plans.


As Ming Yi, He Xuan learns all he can concerning Shi Qingxuan. He Xuan’s fate was stolen for his sake, and he needs to know his enemy’s vulnerabilities.

Shi Qingxuan is like some airy confection of spun sugar that melts to nothing in your mouth, an illusion that fails to satisfy hunger. The silver embroidery on his robes would have been enough to save He Xuan's parents from starvation. If he indulges Shi Qingxuan’s whims, it is solely for his planned revenge. It has nothing to do with Shi Qingxuan’s bright laughter, or the way he clings to Ming-xiong’s arm.
