Bao Qingling stiffened as soft warmth brushed her cheek, Bai Meizhen's lips. The pale girl smiled impishly at her as she drew away. "Thank you Qingling. I shall be catching the most of course."


It's still Valentine's Day somewhere. Have some lesbians to celebrate!

'Granny'
A gnarled cane tapped the ground, the shuffle and drag of elderly feet, made uneven by age and injury. Fraying sandals, a shapeless roughspun dress and slightly hunched back covered by a pale grey shawl. Her face was a mass of wrinkles, and her skin as rough as old boot-leather, thin white hair clung to her head,wispy and dry, pulled back in a tight bun.

She had the air of one whom life had chewed up over and over, until naught but sinew, gristle and spite remained, a woman whose age had robbed her of fear and propriety alike.

[...]

Gimlet eyes squinted in the melting darkness, firelight growing as a hearth was painted from nothing. Dirt and grass molded into rough wooden planks and woven straw mats, the night sky began to bleed into rafters and straw. But on the wall forming behind the old woman, the twisting shadows of tails appear, they weave through and among each other, too swiftly and chaotically to count.


@yrsillar I have arrived bearing gifts!
omake for the omake throne?

Xuan and Gan Sketches+Song
So clearly we've got some readers hankering for more Xuan Shi content.


And to cap it all off, a work song from the Savage Seas!

Ho, away, to distant seas,
We sail and earn our pride.
Farewell to home and clan we call,
On Brother's back we ride!

Away-hey! Away-hey! The captain's hat is whole!
Off'rings to the Guiding Moon as we're parted from our shoal.

Clear horizons, plain to see.
In joyful work we sing!
No mooring now to hold us down,
Our victory shall ring!

Away-hey! Away-hey! The captain fills our bowl!
Thank the gen'rous Guiding Moon for respite from our shoal.

Long unchanging weeks at sea
Our freedom lingers on
Horizon's squall is looming dark
Turn' back is long foregone

Away-hey! Away-hey! The captain's fine control!
Beseech the gentle Guiding Moon to shelter our fair shoal.

O'er tow'ring wave and howling wind
Our Brother brings us through.
The Savage Seas to th' mighty Xuan
Will ever pay their due!

Away-hey! Away-hey! The captain's flaring soul!
And we pray to Guiding Moon to see us back to shoal.

A solid berth shall welcome us
Though not a friendly face.
Brother Xuan protect us all
Till we sail forth from this place.

Away-hey! Away-hey! The captain's home-scent skoal!
But there's yet many Guiding Moons till we see again our shoal.

With armor patched, our Brother fed
To home our course is set
Coffers full and souls alight
O the hatchlings we'll beget!

Away-hey! Away-hey! A crew returning whole!
Captain's friend, the Guiding Moon, will see us back to shoal!

Away-hey! Away-hey! Our crew returning whole!
Our captain's light, the Guiding Moon, will see us back to shoal!

@yrsillar omake for the omake throne <3

Astral Daemon
The astral corruption spirit/demon had such an evocative description, I had to get it down as best I can:

External (not mine) references
sadly I lack the equipment and skills to accomplish these aspects, but here's some links to help imagine
For animation when it turns around by rearranging its flesh: schklrp
For coloring the fleshy bits: SKREEEE
