This week's throwback fic, Songxiao in Selkirk, is a crossover between The Untamed and Me and AU, a queer, fannish romance podcast, where two characters fall in love with a show called Selkirk (and maybe also each other). Selkirk is also a forthcoming podcast from Procyon Podcast Network, so keep your eyes peeled! :D

Summary:

Jodi and Garrett are the badass park rangers-slash-monster wranglers responsible for keeping human-paranormal conflict to a minimum. Song Zichen and Xiao Xingchen are Daoist priests and cultivators who have cultivated to immortality and somehow made their way over to British Columbia. When people start getting killed by something obviously supernatural the two pairs run into each other.

This was the first Untamed fic I wrote, which I wrote before I had even finished watching the show!

This was during the height pandemic lockdown when I was stuck at home with hardly any work to do and after a day of lounging on the couch listening to Anais Mitchell's Hadestown album (the original one) and wallowing in Wangxian feels, this fic came out of me. I could not know then that it would be the first of over a hundred new works, the beginning of a burst of creativity that has not given out to this day, and would lead directly to me getting published for money for the first time!

Truly, from humble roots grand trees do grow.
