Set The Dark On Fire

Description

It’s the moments like this – when his makeup is smeared and somehow, Jongdae’s eyes don’t look quite as sparkly – that Yixing realises that he loves him. And in their world of silk robes and painted faces, sometimes smeared makeup and wild hair is more beautiful than poised perfection.

Foreword

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the writing, and the Zinnia!verse belongs to the lovely curionenene, who was nice enough to let me play in it (and then tell me she loved it  and make the poster and background ;;). The title comes from Turin Brakes' Dark On Fire, and this song is also partially the inspiration for this fic.

I wanted Chen/Lay as a part of Zinnia; curionenene told me I had to write it myself. This is what happened. ._. 

Here are all of her original fics, which I recommend you all go read because they're amazing (and I don't say that often, so make of that what you will):

Zinnia - Eunhyuk/Donghae

Ikebana - Kyuhyun/Zhou Mi

Hanakotoba - Eunhyuk/Donghae, side!Kyuhyun/Zhou Mi

Godori - Myungsoo/?

As for a description of the verse, I shall simply copy the description in Zinnia's foreward - 'the world in which this fic occurs in is based on the Yoshiwara district in Edo Japan, but in a futuristic era which, in my mind, has the conveniences of the modern world in candy-colours but with old world traditions.'  

That's all I have to say. If you read it, I hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 5: It takes all my strength also not to cry! This story is good good good good hella ing good like so much!!! It was first hard to imagine the setting but heck this story is too much!!!

I for one, am very glad because it takes only 1 chapter for jongdae to comeback and had yixing in his arms again, I thought I have to wait like 14 chaps or more till we get there!! And holy mother why cant mamasan die out of heart attack or high blood pressure already that woman is boiling 24/7 she should like idk disappear?
