RULES
- You are not required to have a Dreamwidth account to participate. There are no signups necessary. You may post anonymously if you want.
- There will be 3 rounds of this fest, and 1 round will be opened each week of the fest. Rounds will be left open for fills and comments, so there is no deadline for participating.
- Prompts do not have to be claimed before you write them, and they can be filled by more than one person.
- Once a round is open, you can continue submitting prompts for it until the end of the fest moderation period. (Ex: On February 17 after Round 3 opens, you’re still allowed to submit prompts to Round 1 and 2.)
- There is no minimum or maximum word count for fills. In the spirit of the fest, we encourage you to write shorter works, but any length is welcome and appreciated!
- Users are allowed to crosspost their fic on any other site, such as AO3. However, we ask that when possible, writers post the text of their fills as a reply to the prompt and include a link to an AO3 post if they choose to do so, instead of just linking to an AO3 post in their comment. This helps keep discussion in our community!
- Feel free to subscribe and join the comm to keep track of updates and view them on your reading page.

“Jiejie,” Liang Jiao hears in passing, accompanied by a tug on her sleeve.
Nearly 18 years of being an older sister has her jerking her up in an instant, ears carefully attuned to the familiar lilt of her little sister’s voice calling for her in Mandarin. She catches Liang Qiao’s eyes among the crowd, and they’re tinged red at the corners.
Liang Jiao swallows hard, nails digging into her palms. It’s difficult to ignore the itch to surge forward to Liang Qiao’s side, where she’s always been, but she knows better than to do so right now.
Identical twins, they said. Liang Jiao and Liang Qiao had shared a placenta once, now they share a face and with twins like this, you either keep them glued together as one or not at all. The audience had made their decision the moment they ranked them apart, when they were pitted against one another during the connect mission. Even though they were assigned different parts, the message was obvious — only one of you can debut.
When Liang Jiao has the chance to talk to her sister, in between filming, during meals, late at night when they sneak out of their respective cell’s rooms, they don’t talk about it. Truth be told, she doesn’t know if Liang Qiao knows. She’s still her little sister after all.
“Unnie,” Liang Qiao’s voice floats from across the room as she chases one of the K-group trainees around.
Liang Jiao frowns, momentarily distracted. That should be me, she thinks, watching Liang Qiao dog at the heels of some older girl, eyes sparkling when she’s met with affection and assurance. Then, she shakes herself out of it because she has cameras to be ready for and rankings to worry about, and because the way Liang Qiao calls others unnie is completely different from the way she calls her jiejie.
Her brain’s constantly working on overdrive trying to get around the language barrier, and Liang Qiao had neglected to pass their shared Mandarin-Korean dictionary back to her last night, making this harder than she expected it to be.
Liang Qiao doesn’t even need the dictionary anyway, she thinks a little sourly. She already has a helpful Korean unnie to stick up for her and help her translate and mime. This is a competition and she needs to get her head into the game, not watch her little sister chase girls around.
Always in the same classes, the same rooms, their names placed right next to each other, being Liang Qiao’s rival might as well be the same thing as being her sister. They’ve always competed; someone has to be the one to do that night’s dishes, someone will do just a little bit better on their test, someone will get the first hug, the first praise, the first—
But, Liang Jiao thinks this might be the first time where these tiny victories amount to something. Or, perhaps, this might be the first time where whoever is just slightly better than, more popular than the other will change everything. With eliminations around the corner, there’s no second chance, no this time I win, next time you win.
Liang Jiao is seasoned enough of a trainee to know how the game works. She knows even though she wishes she didn’t that before the immensely popular trainees that have no doubt taken social media by storm, Liang Qiao is her biggest competition if she wants to debut.
“Xiao Qiao,” Liang Jiao murmurs, wrapping Liang Qiao up in her arms. “What’s wrong?”
The emergency stairwell that they’re currently huddled in is draughty, and Liang Jiao tells herself that that is the reason why they’re shivering.
In truth, Liang Jiao and Liang Qiao are not identical by the strictest meaning of the word. Liang Jiao’s face is rounder, Liang Qiao is ever so slightly taller. Liang Jiao acts cuter, Liang Qiao likes to appear cooler. From the moment Liang Jiao left their mother’s womb first, they have begun to slowly drift apart, their DNA methylating in different ways.
Liang Qiao cries in her older sister’s arms, so everyone thinks she needs her sister more. Liang Jiao feels something acidic simmer in her gut when she watches Liang Qiao cling to someone else’s arm; she thinks she needs her sister more.
“I’m scared I’ll…” Liang Qiao’s voice trails off, before giving way to a small hiccup. There’s no need to complete her sentence, though.
“No, no, you’re going to be fine.” Reassurance is first nature to Liang Jiao. Before being a bubbly idol-hopeful, before being a trainee who has been in the system long enough to learn the rules of this four-dimensional chess game, she was first a kid listening to her parents tell her to look out for her sister because they only have each other. “You’ll tear up the stage.”
“Jiejie.” In her arms, Liang Qiao seems younger and smaller even though they’re only apart by a matter of minutes. “If– If you get the chance to debut, go for it, okay? I’ll be your biggest fan.”
“No, no,” Liang Jiao repeats. “No,” like a broken record. “We’re going to make it together.”
Idol-hood is a dream they nurtured together from water breaks during dance lessons and whispers in the dark of their shared childhood bedroom. Every lesson, every audition, they have done side-by-side, back-to-back. As much as Liang Jiao understands that Girls Planet will not offer them the joint stage they have always wanted, leaving her sister behind is an unthinkable betrayal.
They should shine together on stage or not at all. One under the spotlight and one screaming her name from the audience is not the dream that Liang Jiao has.
In truth, between the two of them, Liang Jiao is a coward.
jiejie: older sister
xiao: little (used as a prefix in nicknames)

Re: [FILL] 双面偶像
irl they don’t have this type of rivalry as far as i can tell, even during gp999 because they were already debuted idols. still, i can’t help but wonder how the desperation to debut can shake a relationship like this one

THAT LAST SENTENCE AHHH. i love sibling conflicts, especially that of twins because i myself am a twin (not identical though lol!), so i love anything that digs into that dynamic but the simultaneous attachment and conflict between these two is utterly devastating and you wrote it masterfully here.
