Two ficlets: Mirror Girl in Dixing, and Chu Shuzhi & Zhao Yunlan in ep 14

[china_shop]

I wrote a ficlet about the Mirror Girl after her deportation to Dixing for the fan_flashworks Map challenge:

How to map the heart - 1,352 words, G-rated, heartbreak with a hopeful ending

And I wrote a commentfic on sakana17's wonderful Chu Shuzhi & Hei Pao Shi picspam, in which Chu Shuzhi reacts to the announcement of Shen Wei's consultancy at the SID:

Officially endorsed - 857 words, G-rated, loyalty, allusions to discrimination

No warnings for either.

Oh, good point! I'd forgotten that part.

Not sure if all mirrors are part of the same mirror world, or if they are all portals from Dixing, or if just that particular one was ...

I always thought it was just a weird, twisted reflection of the flat (or wherever else the mirror was placed). It's open to interpretation, of course, but if it was a portal to Dixing, I'm not quite sure why Chu Shuzhi would lose his powers when inside...

But how did the Dixing girl get in there in the first place? So many unanswered questions!

I think that she's the daughter of the captain of mission Wu Tian'en was a part of (discussed in ep 5, 39:35), so I imagine he brought either just her or her and her mother to Haixing, and at some point she hid in the mirror. But I could be wrong about either of those things! :-)
