The Problematic of the Unproblematic

  Chapter 51 written by kakashi edited by Ligaya&Panda Shao Wan dreams. It is a strange place. She turns in a full circle to see better. The grassy, sunbleached plains stretch far, far, far to all sides… to the right, there are snow-capped mountains, but their massive size is reduced to a jagged line of haziness in the distance. Small, lazy clouds float overhead, throwing wandering shadows onto the rolling sea of brown-green grass. Busy patches of darkness and light, only passing through, never to return.

JoAnne: Our fearless leader is back from her big trip, none the worse for wear but maybe a little tired, and also sick of really rich people. We are all scouring the internet looking for clips of her presentation, because let's face it: at heart we are all Kakashi stans, and she looked faaaaaabulous. Trot, our US bias, our go-to expert for all things disastrous or glittery, is also winging her way home from Seoul. No more news of Mr. Peanut Heiress, but give me a minute and I'll think of something. (On Twitter, though.) Meanwhile here at home, Saki, Panda, and I have been braving stupidly cold weather. Seriously, why should it EVER be -15? Who needs that? No one! kakashi: I feel destroyed. Trotwood: I'm barely back. It is really cold, but Facebook reminded me that 4 years ago, at this time it was snowing so much in my town that the snow was nearly as high as my car. I am very thankful for the cold since there isn't three feet of snow on the ground. I only wat...

JoAnne: Winter needs to end. kakashi: I want to go on holidays .  When's your next mountain trip? Next week but that's NOT HOLIDAYS. String some lights. Make a roast. Wear pajamas all day.  Or do your crazy hiking up mountains thing.  Presto-chango, it's a holiday. I'm gonna be in Davos, JoAnne. It's the WEF. I am so glad when this is over. Ohhh, I meant parent's mountains! Hell no that's not a vacation. But you will do very well, I am sure of it. Shaking knees maybe, but I bet no one will be able to tell. You know your shit. You got this. And Chen Kun has got you. Look at that affection in his eyes. (Trotwood busting in late and out of breath with a Kakashi fansign in a trail of glitter): What? Am I too late for the Kakashi should be president of the world send off? SakiVI: I have the complete day off this MLK day, and I can't go anywhere because of the subzero weather and winds.  Panda: Lucky all who stayed home today. I had to drive to w...

Chapter 50 written by kakashi edited by Panda & LigayaCroft *A lot of years ago* “Step closer, Mo Yuan. I want to show you something.” “Yes, Father.” Mo Yuan pushed himself off the floor and obediently stepped up to the table his father was sitting behind, keeping the proper distance between them. Fuxi’s desk was full of books and scrolls and artefacts, among them objects of great power- a small, pointy dagger; a mirror that reflected nothing; a thin, bright blue bracelet. It was hard to look at those artefacts for more than a few moments, their energy was hurtful to his eyes and by extension, his head, but Mo Yuan tried to endure it for as long as he could.

Skin as Soft as Silk written by kakashi edited by Bunny “Ahhhh," Prince of Chu moaned against his clenched fist. He was in pain from the throbbing sword wound below his left collarbone, but now that Feng Zhiwei was applying bandages to it in the confines of a fast moving carriage, he exaggerated his suffering on purpose. He wanted to make her feel sorry for giving him such a fright and making him do uncharacteristically reckless things.

JoAnne: Did y'all have a good drama week? Trotwood: Nope. So many blocked shows here and class is really intense so must study. Too stressed to watch anything much but Jollibee commercials. Really, you should check them out . Don't expect much from me until I leave South Korea. kakashi: I'm getting ready to spend a week at the World Economic Forum and am equally excited and terrified about it, so don't expect anything from me in the next few weeks. All I've been doing is stare at Chen Kun to feel good. It's working. Panda: I did! Stare at Chen Kun? I did, too. I won't say he calmed me down, exactly, but I did feel less stressed, after. SakiVI: I am obsessed with Story of Ming Lan. I can't bring myself to watch anything else. I even forgot about Fate and Fury this week. Oh, hello Chen Kun. So pretty, I can chenge QAS's mind about patterns

kakashi: Jin Mi's cluelessness continues, I find it extremely amusing. But then, this episode takes a rather unexpected turn! panda: this was a fun episode. JoAnne: I get distracted by a costume in this episode. Was it supposed to be skin? Totally .

Chapter 69 written by LigayaCroft edited by kakashi When Huo Zheng woke up that morning, she felt refreshed by a dream she had just had, of walking down a peach grove holding the small hand of a beautiful child— a head strong girl’s and a delicate boy’s— in each hand.

An Imposter goes Swimming  written by kakashi edited by Bunny What a fortuitous encounter, Feng Zhiwei thought, as she skipped along the street toward Master Zong‘s house, an impolite man had turned out useful to enlighten her about this Prince of Chu she was supposed to marry in her cousin’s stead.
