I used this pixel art base as a base for the figure.
Nirvana in Fire - Lin Chen & Mei Changsu Cross Stitch Pattern

Design Size: 70 x 60 stitches (Final result measures 10.5 cm x 10 cm)
Materials:
- 8 x 8 inch white 14-count Aida cloth
- 6 inch embroidery hoop (optional)
- DMC Stranded Cotton according to the color chart

Directions:
Find the center of the fabric, then work according to the pattern using two strands of cotton floss. This pattern is done entirely in crosses and half stitches; there are no backstitches.
Download the pattern and color chart as a pdf here.
Feel free to make any changes according to your own preferences, and if you stitch this pattern, I'd love to see it! I am marquisguyun most places except Discord.
I chose the character 陪, meaning 'to accompany,' from the quote 我答应过你要陪你走到最后一日 (I promised you that I would accompany you to the very end) from Episode 54 of Nirvana in Fire. The quote is from the scene where Lin Chen gives Mei Changsu the Bingxu pill, so it matches the elements in my design, but it is also a great summary of their relationship in general! It's not solely about the inevitable end, but the support and friendship along the journey.
My pattern was inspired by a couple of designs from A Cross Stitcher's Oriental Odyssey by Joan Elliot, which I was able to check out from my local library. The "Little Treasures" designs on pages 42-45 all featured a single character, nature elements of some kind, and a circular design, which I liked. The scale of the project was more or less determined by the minimum size I wanted 陪 to be in order to make the character look nice.

No matter what the world may see
A monster cruel, a brainwashed slave
I am striving to become a better me
The thoughts feel like a constant fee
Was it not enough, all that I gave?
No matter what the world may see
Unsteady like a ball on a too-small tee
Pushed about like a fish in a mighty wave
I am striving to become a better me
Perhaps they wonder, “What is he?”
I know I am a fighter brave
No matter what the world may see
I don’t know if I can be truly free
But I will not let my spirit cave
I am striving to become a better me
I’m sure someday that’s what I’ll be
A man whose self he managed to save
No matter what the world may see
I am striving to become a better me

Schedule
Tag claims: through June 25
Tag suggestions: June 21–25
Nominations: June 23–ongoing (please nominate before the game as much as possible; nominations will be checked once daily during the game)
Prompting: June 30–ongoing
Sign-ups: June 30–July 9 (or until the cap of 280 sign-ups is reached)
Team assignments: no later than July 11
Game begins: July 12
There is no set schedule for the game; it all depends on how quickly the teams surmount their challenges. We estimate it will last about three weeks.
After one team wins the game and another comes in second by accomplishing all their board 3 goals, there will be a 48-hour editing period, and then works will be revealed. Authors will remain anonymous for two weeks.

Freeform tags, 2025

Community tag suggestions
Each round of Battleship has a set list of freeform tags that must be used to win the game. To help build this list, we need your help! If you won a tag claim last year, please use it now. If not, or if you want to suggest more tags in addition to the ones you're claiming, please do that too. Both tag claims and tag suggestions close June 25.
Tags won last round
Tag choices were won in one of five ways last round:
- Member of Team Tunnel
- Member of Team Crystal
- Member of Team Volcano/Mermaid AND posted 2+ treats during anon period
- Posted 2+ works for giftless/treatless people
- Correct guess in Battleship 2024 Board 2 logic puzzle
Tags that were won are guaranteed to appear in the game, as long as they follow the guidelines below.
If you aren't sure whether you won a tag, please file a ticket on Discord.
Tag requirements
Requirements for a freeform tag:
- It is either a canonical OR 1 to 3 words long.
- It is a freeform tag (not a category or an archive warning).
- It is not fandom-specific.
- It does not refer to the format (e.g. "podfic" "works in English") or structure ("POV 2nd Person" "Readerfic") of the work.
- It is equally applicable to fic, podfic, and art.
Try to avoid tags that would require longer fic to fill (e.g. casefic).
"Canonical" means that AO3 has marked the tag as commonly used. To check whether a tag is canonical, go to https://archiveofourown.org/tags/search, enter the tag in Tag Name, and select "Freeform" under Type and "Canonical" under Wrangling Status. If this search doesn't bring up that exact tag, it's not canonical. Please check all tags of 4 words or more before putting them in the spreadsheet.
All freeform tags must meet these requirements, whether they're won tags or community-suggested tags.
How to suggest or claim a tag
Please put community-suggested tags in the 2025 tag suggestion spreadsheet. You can add as many tags as you like. These tags are not guaranteed to get into the final tagset, and we may add tags that aren't in this list, but we're likely to take a lot of tags from this list as we build the boards.
Please claim won tags on the won tag choices spreadsheet. Enter your AO3 name, tag choice, and tag claim reason. If you have multiple claims, put in one tag per line. Tags without a corresponding name will not count, so make sure to enter your name on the same line as the tag. If your AO3 name has changed since last year, please let us know!
