Another Heart of Stone episode so soon after the previous one... they're strictly tied and I wrote the draft for this together with part 5 which is why I felt the urge to bring it to life asap πŸ‘€

It's almost surreal to be finally drawing these pages because I had first thought about these events 1 YEAR AGO!! I still have 3-4 episodes in mind (they're rather long so I may break the events into multiple parts), then I'll have to start brainstorming for good because the rest is extremely vague right now!

Thank you everyone for the support as always!! A special thank you to two people who helped in the making of this episode... Keiki, for allowing me to take pictures of your super nice teapot for the first two pages of the comic! πŸ’š And Elliot for offering to beta-reading this episode!! 🧑

I adore this AU!

Foxy

I’d be in cardiac distress if baizhu looked at me like that too 😭😭😭😭

Lindsey

Now I'm super intrigued...I love Changsheng's relationship with Baizhu, and I just bet she used to give him plenty of "advice" about his relationship with Zhongli back in the day lol

Clarice

Omg yes finally they meet!! GUH!! The look on Zhongli’s face πŸ₯ΊπŸ₯ΊπŸ₯Ί

Alex Ryder

That shocked Zhongli.....he will be living rent-free in my mind for ever. Never have I ever wanted to hug an archon saying "there there". And Baizhu! So prettyyyyyyyyy! Thank you for the most delicious feast for eyes!

CRYING! SCREAMING! THROWING UP! KICKING MY FEET! πŸ«΄πŸΌπŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•

Truly 😭😭😭

Chro-NO

YeSS!! Gosh I love how you pointed out all the relevant aspects of this episode πŸ’š yes Baizhu has Changsheng's eyes, it's not random πŸ‘€

KiraShion

πŸ₯ΊπŸ₯ΊπŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ he's got a glimpse of hope for his most previous thing he thought was forever lost 😭

KiraShion

Yeeees you perfectly summed it up!! I wanted a way to show that Zhongli recognized present Baizhu as the reincarnation of his past husband Baizhu without overlapping them because it would've implied he's not actually /seeing/ or considering present Baizhu which is not the vibe I want to go with so yeah - bittersweet memory was the way πŸ’œ and the future is to be written πŸ’œπŸ’œ

KiraShion

Continua così perché stai facendo un lavoro sublime!!

Gaiaah04

First love again πŸ₯Ί

KiraShion

Aah sono feliceee!! πŸ€²πŸ’œπŸ’œ Per me Γ¨ solo un piacere disegnare e condividere con voi, quando poi vi piace Γ¨ il massimo πŸ₯Ί

KiraShion

Aaah ancora sto riflettendo se e quando far sΓ¬ che Baizhu riottenga i ricordi della sua vita precedente... in fondo penso sia forse piΓΉ bello che Zhongli lo faccia innamorare di nuovo πŸ₯ΊπŸ₯ΊπŸ§‘πŸ’š mi fa tanto piacere che i volti siano espressivi!! Mi esercito spesso anche sul migliorare le proporzioni ma l'importante Γ¨ sempre far passare le emozioni πŸ’œ

KiraShion

Yees I've often made some characters stick out of panels, this time I thought I overdid but I'm happy you like it!! Now I won't hold back haha Also Neuvi should just be thankful Zhongli did not spawn all his sparkly adeptal features out of excitement upon seeing Baizhu haha

KiraShion

I'm happy to always surprise for the better 🧑 maybe Neuvi's reaction will also be a surprise... πŸ‘

KiraShion

His heart is SCREMING the love for Baizhu but words still can't come out 😭

KiraShion

I am dying, the snake tattoo peeking over the collar of Baizhu’s shirt is awesome!

DuskDragon1701

kazualex

kxllxrbxnny (aspen)

I’m sobbing I love them so much

kxllxrbxnny (aspen)

Also I'm suddenly screaming like it just clicked to me that Baizhu still has Changsheng's eyes???

Clarice

Honestly same. Id start tweaking too if I saw someone as beautiful as Baizhu. I'm already so stoked for the next part. Gods they are so NHYFHJJVFTHVFG

DoritoMLG666

He is on CLOUD NINE! πŸ₯ΊπŸ˜πŸ₯Ή

✨Jei✨

Zhongli is such a sopping wet cat I love him so dearly

Hellian

The wet dog zhongli is actually killing me LMAO I love him sm❀️ plus any day is a good day with baizhu ❀️❀️ amazing work as always!! I can’t wait to see where this goes

Cherry

DADDY LOOKS SO HOPEFUL AIDJRNVKKSBFJTJG GODS I LOVE HEART OF STONE

Mir Ventura

Also it's so cute that Baizhu immediately jumped into doctor mode. Not to mention I loved Mister Mora himself giving past!Baizhu shit about his inflated costs lol

Clarice

Oh, the narrative contrast between them pretending not to know each other in the past with Baizhu really not knowing him in the present...it's so clever and funny and also so *sad*, but also great because they CAN get to know each other again 😊 πŸ˜„ πŸ˜‰

Clarice

wet puppy zhongli energy

kee

Aaaaaaaaaa this is so goood β™‘β™‘β™‘

James Dibble

*SWOON*

CDCalli

ZHONGLI IS SO CUTEEEE HE'S LIKE A YOUNG MAN AGAIN SEEING BAIZHU AHAIN πŸ₯ΊπŸ₯ΊπŸ₯Ί AAAAAAHHHHH

Ao~

Oh my HEART. The flashback is so pretty! And that sweet wistful look on Zhongli's face in the last panel made me scream into my hands! I love this so much.

Hope Writes

the reply was perfect and his "excuse" was also perfectly convenient 😭 aaaaah I can't wait for the next part!!!

Keiki

Aaaaah so good. So lovely the deja Vu if only he knew ❀️ I always jump with joy seeing a new episode of heart of stoneπŸ₯° I was about to sleep when I saw the notification and almost jumped Also the idea of neuvillette coming back to find zhongli go e would be hilarious πŸ˜‚

Jelleebell

You perfectly described it!! Just yesterday on Discord I mentioned how I wanted Zhongli to be wet for the encounter with Baizhu so his defenseless look with those puppy eyes would be enhanced πŸ₯ΊπŸ₯ΊπŸ₯Ί

KiraShion

I thought for long about what else Zhongli could reply to that question but what could've possibly come close to his feelings? And how hard would it have been to articulate words? So he only went "all good" just to relieve Baizhu's worried and give himself some extra time to fathom the situation πŸ˜­πŸ€²πŸ’š That "darling" mayyy have broken space and time barriers πŸ˜‚ definitely contributed to making Baizhu believe he's confused, shocked even haha Dw for the carpet, Changsheng would probably still nap close to the window, in the sun haha

KiraShion

Assolutamente contentissima di essere diventata una tua patreon! Questo fumetto è bellissimo e i tuoi disegni sono arte pura! Grazie mille per tutto quello che crei per noi! ❀️❀️

SCREAMING CRYING BLEEDING DYING! WHILE MY CROPS HAVE BEEN WATERED, MY AILMENTS CURED AND DEBTS PAID MY WORLD IS CRASHING DOWN AND THE APOCALYPSE IS STARTING WITH ME WOEFULLY UNPREPARED! 😭😭

Heta Harts

zhongli.exe has stopped working, as the kids say >3

regregreg

Baizhu worried he may have a stroke but it's a miracle Zhongli's heart didn't straightforwardly EXPLODED dfghjk

KiraShion

Neuvillette comes back to find that Morax is gone. πŸ˜‚

JristinaF

ODDIOOO non vedo l'ora che Baizhu si ricordi di lui aiuto ma quanto sono amori β€οΈβ€πŸ©Ή adoro il modo in cui fai sembrare le loro emozioni cosΓ¬ reali Γ¨ stupendo 😭

Gaiaah04

The pure SASS on Baizhu's face in that first panel. Also, I love the way some of the figures overlap the edges of the panels, it makes the whole thing feel more immersive(psure you've done it before, it just stood out to me more here???) And then, Neuvillette 2 minutes later: "Morax you had ONE JOB."

Ruby Ophidian

"tell me, what do you feel?" oh baizhu, if only you knew 😭😭😭 aaaah and the throwback to their first canon convo, I'm losing my miiiiind!!! and he called him darling in the present??? sidenote: I really need a carpet in that hallway 🀣 changsheng agrees

Keiki

RAAAAAAAAH THANK YOU FOR THE MEAL

ZenouItaki

Like a puppy seeing it's owner come home after being gone for years. Zhongli's face is just so incredibly adorable I can't get over it. 😭😭🩡

Wrio enjoyer

SWEET BABY BOY this is so much better than I thought Neuvilette is gonna flip his lid I can’t wait

Salubri_NA

AHHHH πŸ₯Ή

Apple

pounds fist on the table!!! imagine just waking up from centuries as a statue and bam there's your dead husband just casually THERE

regregreg

STOP THAT'S SO PRECIOUS. Zhongli's heart be confessing his gay love before he even remembers things properly πŸ₯ΊπŸ₯Ίβ€οΈ
