Title: The Cold Wind of Harsh Truth (or How We Nearly Lost the Sunshot Campaign): A Treatise
Fandom: The Untamed/MDZS
Author: icarusancalion
Recipient: Amalthia
Pairing: Jiang Cheng POV; Wei Wuxian/Lan Wangji
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: Fic belongs to me; the characters do not, yadda, yadda
Author's Notes: Thank you to theleakypen for persevering in sickness and health with neither rain nor snow nor gloom of night stopping the betaing of my first fic in the MDZS fandom. Also dedicated to my good friend Amalthia who introduced me to my new obsession, and obliquely requested Jiang Cheng.
Summary: The Atlantis expedition exchanges Christmas gifts, banter, and inside jokes.

("Truth was, Jiang Cheng would rather face a thousand battles than one humiliating moment of disapproval if he knew he was in the wrong. Right now he was wrong in so many directions, he was trapped like a fly in the spider’s web of his own pride. And so, true to form, he churned inwardly… and did nothing. But he did nothing with a lot of energy and frustration."

Jiang Cheng pisses off the cultivating world when he writes a treatise on exactly what went wrong in the Sunshot Campaign.)

I had so much fun reading your story again! Thanks for dedicating your story to me, I was very happy you enjoyed the show enough to write your own story. :) Loved your Jiang Cheng character voice just as much the second time around reading your story.

Thank you! I can't tell you how refreshing that is after all the Jiang Cheng hate in this fandom.

Yeah, I don't get all the Jiang Cheng bashing in the fandom. Having said that I think every big enough fandom I've been in has had character bashing fics.
