    Summary

    He forgets how quickly Wei-qianbei changes faces, sometimes. Like pulling a theater mask over a bruise—color over color, a diversion with the swipe of his hand.

    Lan Sizhui navigates a world that hates his father, one endless wave at a time.

    Omg, this fic about Sizhui trying to deal with everyone hating Wei Wuxian, interwoven beautifully with an ancient story. Lyrical and lovely.

    Summary

    The melody gets a little clearer when he breaks out of the trees, and Jingyi changes course with certainty, barreling down the back hill and through the Cloud Recesses, dodging scandalized disciples left and right. He throws open the doors to the Receiving Hall without announcement and bows nearly double, eyes on the floor instead of on the shocked faces of the Mei delegation and the impenetrable gaze of the Chief Cultivator.

    "Forgive this disciple," Jingyi shouts, because he's going to get punished for rule breaking regardless. "From the back hill, Hanguang-jun, there is a song in the wind!"

     

     

    Lan Jingyi comes of age.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    This fic starts off as the wangxian melody basically driving everyone at cloud recesses nuts, but in the end is really a fic about Lan Jingyi, his development of a unique musical cultivation, his character, and his love of Sizhui. It’s a lovely coming of age story for the most un-Lannish Lan to ever Lan. It’s lovely.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian chuckles and starts pushing Lan Wangji's outer robes off his shoulders. "Poor Lan Zhan, subject to such earthly miseries. You must be exhausted, come to bed, come to bed."

    "Mm," Lan Wangji says. He raises his arms so that Wei Wuxian can keep undressing him. His clothes will end up on the floor, but no matter. Wei Wuxian's deft hands at his belts are worth wrinkled robes.

    "... Goodness, Hanguang-Jun, you wear too many damned layers," Wei Wuxian tells him after a while. "Would it kill you to stop after a reasonable five?"

    --

    Wei Wuxian moves into the Jingshi. They sleep together.

    This is a 5+1 fic about sharing a bed, and snuggles and such. The intimacy! The slow getting together! Plus, it’s got a really good snarky Lan Zhan, which I adore and really just never get enough of.

    Summary

    “Wei Ying,” Lan Wangji says, voice slow and a pitch too quiet. A second later Wei Wuxian understands why. “I cannot hear.”

    Or; Lan Wangji is cursed into internal isolation. Their ability to understand one another remains as unwavering as ever.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    This curse fic is one of my favorites. I do love ‘this curse leads these two idiots to getting together” but this isn’t one of those. This fic demonstrates how well Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji know each other, the ways they support and know one another, and the complete trust between them. I love this fic to death.

    I've read it over and over again.

    Summary

    All the hair on the back of Lan Wangji’s neck stands straight. He finds himself pressed between the trunk of the tree at his front, and Wei Wuxian at his back. Wei Wuxian has a firm grip on the wrist which carries Bichen, and on his left upper arm. It feels...proprietary. Suddenly, and entirely inappropriately, a very old, very shameful memory surfaces, of a long-ago dream from which he had woken sweaty and shaking. The place on his chest where the resentment pierced him begins to throb painfully. Wei Wuxian breathes heavily against his ear for half a moment longer, and Lan Wangji feels himself flush.

    Or; reuniting with Wei Wuxian after their year apart is complicated by a mysterious and deadly curse.

    Summary

    Lan Zhan’s features are smooth. He has a hand behind his back, as usual, and when he’s a few paces away he stops. He always could execute a perfect bow, the angles of his body textbook.

    “Hi,” Wei Wuxian says stupidly.

    Lan Zhan straightens. He doesn’t blink as he says, “Wei Wuxian.” His eyebrows make the barest arc upward. “What is the nature of your visit?”

    As mentioned, curse fics are a favorite of mine. And the inherent angst of amnesia is just....love it. So this one we have a fic where Lan Zhan doesn’t seem to remember Wei Wuxian, and he hovers in the confusion of if it’s a curse or if he just misread the situation, and it’s lovely. WWX is so gentle with Lan Zhan, I just can’t.

    Summary

    Lan Wangji, generally speaking, did not make note of people. Of course there were exceptions, once faced with special kindness or distaste, but most often others left an imprint so light that it would fade from his mind in only a few days, if not minutes.

    He didn’t feel right in his skin for the rest of the day after meeting Wei Wuxian.

    one of the best amnesia fics. Again, Lan Wangji not being able to remember Wei Wuxian, but this from Lan Wangji’s point of view. And there is clearly something more going on. But really, we’re here for the joy of lwj falling in love with wwx again all over again, so we can all roll around in the lovely inevitability of these two. Siiiiiiiigh. Lovely.

    Here’s a WWX with partial amnesia and oh god it hurts so bad. Lan Zhan is in so much pain and it kills me. Just... OUCH. Save this one for when you’re ready for some pain. When Lan Zhan says, “I always knew I was too happy for it to last,” my soul leaves my body. UGH.

    I actually have a hard time re-reading this one, it's just that good and painful.

    Summary

    Which is why Wei Wuxian is severely annoyed that one the first day moving in, there's a translucent man staring out his bedroom window.
    "Are you kidding me?!" Wei Wuxian huffs, voice bouncing down the landing as he drops his bags with a thud at the top of the stairs.
    The man turns from where he's been staring through the dusty pane and looks directly at Wei Wuxian. Their gazes meet and the man's eyes widen like saucers.
    In a deep, disbelieving voice, he murmurs, "You can see me?"
    "Nope!" Wei Wuxian announces and turns around to march right back down the stairs.
    It’s stupid, really. The man is already waiting at the bottom of the staircase when Wei Wuxian gets there.
    Wei Wuxian stops dead, eyeing the spectre. The man's eyes narrow triumphantly.
    “You can see me," he states.
    Wei Wuxian turns around and marches back up the stairs. The man is already there at the top.

    Modern AU where Wei Wuxian can see ghosts and moves into a new house to find he’s got a roommate. Very cool take on the idea.

    Mind the tags as there is discussion of historical homophobia and violence, and murder.

    I’d love to see an on-going series in this universe. There’s so much potential. But it is lovely a satisfying on its own too.

    Ahhhh. I love Jingyi, so this is already a delight. Such a great Jingyi voice. And who knew how delightful having Wei Wuxian stuck possessing his body would be. This is funny and sweet and I will never get over Jingyi as the well-adjusted kid just ROASTING the older generation and trusting all adults less and less by the moment. Not to mention Jingyi shipping wangxian just as hard as the rest of us.

    Summary

    “Do you know how annoying you are sometimes?” Lan Wangji asked, not unplayfully.

    Wei Wuxian beamed. “Do you know how stodgy you are sometimes?” he replied.

    “How stodgy was this?” Lan Wangji said with a tiny smirk, referring to what they’d just done together in bed.

    Wei Wuxian conceded the point. “This has to be against at least one of your rules,” he replied.

    Lan Wangji looked suddenly serious. “There are no rules against love.”

    Summary

    When Wei Ying set out to move on from his ex after the ex broke his heart and left him cold and alone in the world, he hadn't expected the result to be quite so, well, incredible. If he is honest. All he'd meant to do was have a one-night stand with a random guy, hoping the whole time that somewhere out there Wang Peng could feel it somehow and seethe with jealousy. But the guy he'd randomly picked up at a park, of all places, has turned out to be a fantastic fucking lay.

    Or, Wangxian are idiots and Wei Ying finds himself in the family way.

    Can’t say I’ve ever been a big fan of mpreg before wangxian grabbed my shipper heart, but now I want them to have all the children. Mpreg can still be pretty hit or miss. This one is a modern AU and it’s just lovely! (As most of the author’s fics are!) Here we get a one night stand leads to accidental pregnancy leads to supportive friends with benefits to love. Avoids the worst of the pregnancy and birth cliches too, which can drive me a bit batty. And bonus Lan Zhan as a U-haul lesbian. Not to mention a WWX that is not a complete disaster and is capable of doing this on his own, but just prefers not too.

    This is another fic where I am being dragged against my will into an AU that makes no sense to me. I do not watch The Bachelor. I have no interest in The Bachelor. And yet, this fic is amazing. I’m mad about it. Yes. God, the build up of their relationship, the way Lan Wangji navigates the show, how comfortable the two are almost from the first moment. So dramatic, but also so lovely. A great fic.

    Summary

    Lan Zhan blinked, and pushed his wet hair off his forehead as he slid off his surfboard and stood upright. Wei Ying was standing on the beach, holding a pair of sandals and staring out, his sand-covered bare feet carefully out of reach of the actual water. There was a strange, mournful twist to his mouth that faded when he saw that he wasn’t alone, replaced by a warm smile. “Lan Zhan, is that you?”

    “Mn,” he replied, and walked up to meet him there in the middle of the sand. Privately, he thought, who else would it be?

    Wei Ying laughed. “I thought so, but I wasn’t sure. You looked good out there.”

    Aaaaahhhhh, this fic. So much atmosphere and place and a lovely almost-was-but-never-happened romance. But honestly, the real star here is the Lan Zhan POV, with just achingly lovely reflections on his relationship with his brother, the people around him, his body, and his own loneliness. And, kind of, an acknowledgement of Lan Zhan as not a deeply ambitious person, but more just someone trying to find a space to exist in the world that works best for him and the noise and confusion in his head? God, I could go on forever about the careful tone and just how much of a love letter this whole fic is. So beautiful.

    I have read this fic a million times and plan to read it a million more times.

    Summary

    “Cloud Reccesses Apiary,” says a toneless, deep masculine voice, with zero question in it. Wei Ying doesn’t care, because whoever possesses that voice is probably going to come save him from bees like a fucking hero while wearing like, a suit of armor. That’s what you wear to catch bees, right?

    “I have like, so many bees outside my front door right now,” he says, mouth running out ahead of him before he can even begin to think about reining it in. “It’s like a sandstorm of bees out there. There are so many bees. I got out of my car and there were just bees and I don’t want these bees. Do you want these bees? Please tell me you will come get these bees. I can’t leave my house and I have enough food for maybe a week but then I’m gonna have to learn how to cook dry beans and no one wants that, especially not me.” Wei Ying runs out of air, takes a breath, and belatedly adds, “My name is Wei Ying. Hi.”

    Bookmarker's Notes

    One of my favorite things about fan fiction is seeing an author put familiar, beloved characters in a setting that shows of some other additional passion or set of knowledge the author has. This is definitely one of those. The fic is excellent. Great meet cute for our two faves, but also the endless bee facts and bee puns and one of my favorite bits of dialogue between these two characters ever:

    “They’re actually pretty cute, aren’t they?”
    “Mn,” Lan Zhan says. “If they are not cute, they are wasps.”
    “And wasps are?”
    Wei Ying is expecting some kind of technical answer about the differences between various insects that buzz. What he gets is Lan Zhan gritting his teeth and saying, “Assholes.”
    I just love this fic. Such a great Lan Zhan and a slightly manic but endlessly curious Wei Ying.

    This Modern AU hits a lot of my favorite tropes all at once. We’ve got single dad Lan Zhan. We’ve got famous musician Lan Zhan and normal person Wei Ying. We’ve got slow burn and the inherent romance of cooking for each other and finding someone who loves your kid as much as you do. There’s no high key angst or drama, just the slow journey of getting to know each other. I just love this fic a lot and come back to it for comfort reads a lot.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian remembers, a long time ago in basically another life, a college party where he managed to bully Lan Wangji into taking a single shot. The Second Jade had gone bleary and fallen asleep on a couch almost immediately. Wei Wuxian figured that in the intervening years his tolerance would have improved, or that a drunk Lan Zhan would immediately be followed by a sleeping Lan Zhan.

    This supposition was, as it turns out, incorrect. Grown-ass adult Lan Zhan is, when drunk, something Wei Wuxian can only describe as white girl wasted.

    Or: Lan Zhan gets drunk on Capitol Hill. Wei Wuxian isn't supposed to be the responsible one, but by god, he's gonna do it.

    This is a lovely little fic about Wei Wuxian settling into life with his husband at the Cloud Recesses. I love a good processing fic, and the dialog is just great the way these two speak as much in their silences as their words. Ugh. It’s just a little sad and a little painful and a little fumbly and rooted in such love.

So here’s professional dancer WWX paired with celebrity LWJ to learn to dance on some Dancing with the Stars type thingy. You know the rest. Just love the endlessly kind and competent wwx and the determined and vulnerable lwj. strangers to friends to lovers, all that great stuff.
