Could you please write the AU of an AU you mentioned, pretty please? The Cao Cao!AU is supposed to be a triptych but the third part (tentatively titled "Pastries") is stuck in developmental hell and I need something to inspire me!

You'll have my eternal devotion and regard and I'll even throw in a bonus gift fic with a topic of your choice!

Man, I sound like a really desperate used car salesman.
Oh dear. I will try, I promise I will, but I'm still stuck with the entry I haven't made for the challenge, and I still have no idea about the direction the AU is supposed to take. I probably should ask your help to figure it out, actually!
I'm probably no better in that regard than you. You did mention that ZGL was going to go back to Liu Bei, but how do we manage that? :S
Well, they should probably meet at some point, to begin with. I had something in mind where it's basically love at first glance, so to speak, but what goes in his head is something like "He looks nice, and I'm missing something here with my ambitions. Maybe I made a mistake somewhere".

Only I don't know how they meet, or when. After that, he's probably going to mess up a plan on purpose, and Cao Cao isn't going to be happy.

Don't forget I haven't read the story, or even watched all the series, so I'm missing a few crucial points to understanding the context better!

Ah, Mithrigil: a most excellent writer for any fandom.
Yo! So, Red Cliffs fics a friend recommended me - I went over these three and they are actually very good.

Perfect Pitch
Tactical Dispositions
An Empty Cup

And here, for simplicity's sake, the Red Cliff section of Archive of Our Own. A lot of fics (by one of the writers) are Zhuge Liang/Sun Quan, but they seem to be fairly high quality. Either way, there's a lot of fic there.

(don't go into the Three Kingdoms 2010 section though. It is literally all weird porn.)
Hey! Thank you for the links. :) I, er, had actually already read them when I was looking for Red Cliff fics. Sorry, I should have told you where I had searched already (AO3 and FF.net, basically). But I went and re-read them, and they're still just as good as I remembered. ;)

If you hear about something on LJ, though...

(Of course, I went. Kinda wish I hadn't, though.)
