History doesn't repeat(but it has sinkholes) by BcAugust

Summary
Sometimes, doing the impossible is less of his mother's motto and more of a birthright that Jin Rulan was born to. But if saving his favorite uncle from a town that only one person has ever convinced it to let go requires him sneaking out the locations from one of his other uncle's desks, figuring out how to steal someone from the greatest warded area of the Lan Clan in the U.S., and taking him across most of the country to rescue his uncle, that wasn't that hard.
Now, convincing himself that this guy was the feared Patriarch of Necromancy, able to hold off entire armies, had kidnapped multiple people into one of the worst places on earth, and was in general the horror story about why you shouldn't step off the beaten path? That was impossible.
"The worst thing about the curse, out of the long list of worst things, was how silent it made the world."

Summary
After a nighthunt gone wrong, Jin Ling and Lan Sizhui find themselves nearly two decades in the past. For Jin Ling, this should be a golden opportunity—they can prove their worth in the legendary Sunshot Campaign, save Jin Ling’s parents, expose the true evildoers of the post-war era, and prevent the wrong uncle from being vilified as an evil monster.
But as he swiftly learns, the most nightmarish stories of the Sunshot Campaign are all too real, his parents’ fairytale romance isn’t, and the Yiling Patriarch might actually be as monstrous as everyone said...

Bookmarker's Notes
This was absolutely terrifying, yet in believable and honest ways. When the Immortal of the setting shows up and it's *not enough firepower*, you know things are serious.
Also a great look at Jin Ling, who gets put through the wringer, but survives with scars, and yet hope. Also, I grasped enough of Wei Wuxian's explanations to be absolutely terrified. Holy Shit, he probably should have ascended just from the sheer audacity!

Summary
Yu Ziyuan watches over her son. She knows this is it. Their allies will not hear about this attack soon enough to help, and there isn’t a single surviving Jiang disciple here to help their Sect Heir get away. Wei Wuxian may have had a drop more of filial piety than she thought him capable of (which was none at all), but that child was selfish before he was even arrogant. He would never risk his own lowly life for the sake of one of his betters.
Except that Wei Wuxian does come. With a Wen traitor in his tail, he comes back and gets her son. He even—he even fights to get their bodies back, Jiang Fengmian’s, and Yu Ziyuan’s as well. It’s too risky, insane even, and both conscious boys come to agree that they cannot manage it.
But the little beast came back, and he tried… he tried to save her, too.
Yu Ziyuan watches, and is torn.
Or,
Lotus Pier falls, but Yu Ziyuan’s spirit lingers.Bookmarked by BcAugust

An absolute banger of a Madame Yu as a ghost following the Lotus Pier massacre. I really love a lot of the language, it's nice and evocative.

Nie Huaisang saves a snake, and gets a husband out of it

Bookmarker's Notes
A comic about Xichen as a dragon and marrying streamer Nie Huaisang. It's a delight, and the artist slides in a ton of smaller details for each character that makes it fun to go back and see what's happening. There's several plots going on, but a lot of it is just character driven stories.

Hilarious!
A short sweet time travel one, and getting it from Jin Zixuan's view is inspired. Also, it's a good thing Jiang Yanli loves her men as they are.

Summary
‘Alright, fine,’ huffs Wei Ying, blowing out his cheeks. He adjusts his grip on the smooth hilt of the sword, as cold as wet stone beneath his palm. ‘How do I give this back to you?’
‘I must trade with you something of equal worth,’ says the strange man.
‘Uh. Okay.’ Wei Ying rubs his forehead with his free hand. ‘How about your name? Your real name.’ In case he needs to file a police report or stalk this beautiful, scary man on google or something.
The man looks even more angry. He pulls his shoulders back and draws himself to his full height, which is rather impressive and forces Wei Ying to tip his chin up slightly.
‘My name is Lan Zhan,’ the man says.

I don't know why this author keeps managing to punch me in the gut with these beautiful, beautiful stories, but I'm so glad they continue to do so.
