“In no city, West or East, have I ever had such an impression of dense, rank richly clotted life. Old Shanghai is Bergson’s elan vital in the raw, so to speak, and with the lid off. It is Life itself…Yes, it will all be there, just as intensely and tenaciously alive as ever-all there a thousand years hence, five thousand, ten. You have only to stroll through old Shanghai to be certain of it. London and Paris offer no such certainty.”

“This city is a completely female city. Female town. Beijing is male. All rough and politics. Shanghai is more delicate. Money talks. Beautiful. I had enough rough.”

some of mine old gerita criminal AU doodles from last year (about June 2016 lol) that I didn’t upload. I really obsess with Vargas family being mafioso! U///U In my AU, Feliciano is an underboss
Ludwig – INTERPOL officer
Lovino – Caporegime
 Antonio – Lovino’s right hand 
Arthur – Professional

 swindler, Feli’s old friend since high school
Alfred – FBI officer
Rome – Don Vargas
and etc.!

the plot in summary was sorta like… Feliciano, taking a stroll in the city and strayed from his bodyguards. Feli got a small accident but fortunately was helped by Ludwig that simultaneously on his way to home. Feli had a crush on him, sending some underling to dig Ludwig’s background

afterwards

and found out his governmental line of work. Despite of that, Feli kept still wooing him while concealing his own secret about being the greatest mobster heir.

Ours Samplus – Spell on you is my favorite track for this AU ❤

And 

Parov Stelar – Ragtime Cat for Arthur’s theme? Maybe haha
