Somehow I didn't bookmark this series despite reading it and all the spinoff at least twice! That's the danger of downloading for ya.
Anyway READ THIS SERIES. It's beautifully written and has fantastic characterization and does an amazing job of giving a fix-it for so many characters and issues within the series. I love the examination of depression and ptsd and the way family comes together. It's an excellent look at the Wei Wuxian loves people and is terrible at being loved by them, and likewise examines the way other characters struggle with giving or accepting love.
I also really like the way Madam Yu is handled here, as well as all the Jins. -

Delightful! Time travel that is mostly about Kakashi Dealing With Being 17 again and Tenzo post injury, a snapshot of Fixing Things and dealing with his feelings and recognizing how fucked up he was as a kid. It's hard for stories this "short" to encompass a whole fix it timeline so instead it's a very specific period of a few days that gives a direct sense of "and then things change for the better" at the end without needing to tackle every problem.
Also I just love the dialog and the chemistry of everyone here.

Bookmarker's Notes
I did not bookmark this the first time I read it and I absolutely should have. Utterly fantastic fix-it time travel fic with Hinata at the head, handling the BS of the Hyuuga clan and tackling the issues inherent in both time travel in Naruto and the whole child soldiers thing. Brilliant, heartfelt, wonderfully paced. Politics! Clan law! Butterfly effect! I can't stop thinking about how WELL this was put together, from beginning to end. Absolutely something to read if you even vaguely like time travel or Naruto fics (everything I know from the series comes from fic, so I don't feel like much canon knowledge is truly needed).

Summary
A modern OC arrives in Yiling before the start of the Sunshot Campaign. She has no friends, no money, and no cultivation. She knows what's coming, but what could she possibly do about it?
***
“Well…” I looked down at my fingernails and tried not to squirm. “If there were a way to separate Wei Wuxian from Madam Yu without ruining his relationship with his siblings, I’d encourage it. Like, as an example, marriage.”Xichen blinked. “To you?”
“No. Absolutely not. What even—?” The thought was so abhorrent I couldn’t hold it in my head. My brain spat it right back out. “To your brother.”
Xichen blinked. Again. “To Wangji?”
“Obviously?”
“This is a concern of yours?”
“I realize it’s not my business at all,” I admitted. “But you asked.”

Well conceived modern woman in Untamed verse fic, that does some excellent looking at Xichen and at how small changes would impact the war without being a complete rewrite of events. Also, neat use of cartography!

Haunting, epistolary examination of Pacific Drive with some really neat world building notes. I love the idea that the Zone is self replenishing as an explanation for supply, and the acknowledgement of time passing and the change in technology.

Summary
This is what Rumi knows to be true: Zoey and Mira don’t want her.
Zoey and Mira don’t want her, and she does not want herself, and so she goes to the only other person who might.
(She always found herself jealous of euthanized dogs)
Or
As Zoey and Mira walk towards their impending doom, into Gwi-Ma's gaping maw, the entire world waits with bated breath for a hero. For someone to come with a song, a light in the dark, to save the day. But, no one does. And as destiny falls apart and fate screams in disapproval, the Honmoon reaches out to fix a cosmic error. Again, and again. No matter how many times it takes.

Somehow, despite not being the most in-depth version of time travel fix-its I have read, this is 100% my favourite and possibly my favourite star wars story hands down. There is such a brilliant mix of serious and sarcastic, character growth that feels natural but respects the issues of an adult in a child body, working through the politics of the senate and how changing the future you know to have happened changes the future you are going to experience in ways you can't predict. Brilliant prose, fantastic dialog, just... I have a lot of feelings and I could wish this story was twice the length but honestly it's perfect as it is.

Summary
Jaster Mereel, Mand'alor the Reformer and leader of the Haat'Mando'ade, has endured exile, betrayal, and war with his and his people's honor intact, and now faces the daunting task of leading Mandalore into a new age.
To take a brief respite from his duties, he takes a job alongside his ade. The task seems simple: among the broken down ruins of the planet Melida/Daan, an insurgent group is causing problems for the planet's civil war.
Eliminate them.

One of the better stories looking at how having children fight a war against adults would have logistical issues, and the way the Mandalorians work through the reality of a planet that has nothing left worth saving (besides the kids) is interesting. This is a story about the kids and obi getting rescued (and adopted) and a little bit about family dynamics, not a political story about outing the sith or how obi ends up a Jedi mandolorian (as many stories with these characters tend to be) but it is a complete tale that I genuinely enjoyed.

Summary
“Feemor!”
The voice was shrill, laced with panic as snow crashed from the trees to the ground.
“Feemor!”
Whoever this ‘Feemor’ was, the voice screaming for them was young. Probably an ad; no way they were older than Jango. Speaking of which—Jaster turned to where his Foundling was still standing, frozen in his tracks by the voice screaming through the forest. Something about it seemed to warble like a songbird or the ground before a landslide.- Language:

Really neat bit of worldbuilding and more of a snippet of a larger universe, but one that feels warm and comforting to read. I love the idea of Feemor taking Obi-Wan on as a padawan and Death Watch ending up with a pretty ignoble death.

Bookmarker's Notes
I know nothing about Maul's story but I didn't need to, to follow the fic, and it has one of my fave tropes: the overpowered kiddo is allowed and capable of Getting Shit Done and the adult who is trying to adopt him is one part 'I really would rather keep you safe' and one part 'let me hold your flower'. Maul and Jango are delightful, poor Obi-Wan needs a hug and therapy, and the plot does some interesting things.
Sadly while the fic ends well, a lot of plot points are left for the sequel/continuation that was never done, so it's not the best read if you want everything tied up with a bow. -

Ohh this one is GOOD. Obi-Wan as a healer and with actual support but still ending up dealing with so much chaos, a lot of feelings, and also a whole ass clone war. I suspect it would be an even stronger story if you actually knew the canon better than I do, but with my very vague knowledge it's still an excellent read with very good pacing throughout.

Summary
By his second night in the Yiling Burial Mounds with the Wen Remnants, Wei Wuxian knows he has to do something drastic to make sure the people he's responsible for now not only survive, but thrive.
And since people already condemn the Yiling Patriarch for starting his own sect, well. It might be the way to go.

Bookmarker's Notes
Straight up: This is very very good and if you want to read about Wei Ying starting his own sect and things going decent considering everything, this is well paced, well characterized, and fun.
In much longer form: God this is good in a way few fics are. This has the sort of sect building thought process we really don't often see in the fandom (since you're making up infrastructure out of whole cloth and understandably that's daunting). There's a bit of the vibe from It Seems the Hills and Rivers Have Been Waiting and some of Sami's time travel work, regarding intra-sect politics and how a sect needs to be run, where the money comes from, structure and so on, but it's the main theme of this work instead of a background aspect. This fic feels a bit like playing a cozy game farming sim - it's very much about the process and the building and survival in the Burial Mounds but it handles it with a deft touch that remains lighthearted despite the serious subject matter. I am genuinely disappointed there wasn't a follow up because I could have read another 100k in this world from this author, but it is a whole, complete story in its own right and absolutely you should check it out.

Summary
There is something wrong, glaringly wrong, that Nie Mingjue can’t place. He coughs and covers his eyes with bloodied fingers, groaning against the light. He wills his head to stop spinning, wills his mind to start working.
The smell is awful, stale. It nudges at the edge of his memory, familiar in a way he can’t put his finger on. He breathes in through his nose too deeply; it sends him into another heaving fit, head pounding with the movement of his body.
Blood, he realizes all at once, his hair standing on edge. The smell is blood.

Nie Mingjue wakes up in a new body, and there is a message left for him to find: STOP THE CHIEF CULTIVATOR.

Summary
Wei Wuxian, the Yiling Patriarch, demonic cultivator and perpetrator of the massacre at Qiongqi Way, destroys the Stygian Tiger Amulet three days after his nephew’s one-month ceremony.
His family's safety has been assured: Jiang Cheng is in command of Lotus Pier, Jiang Yanli, Jin Zixuan, and Jin Ling are ensconced in Koi Tower. The Wen Remnants will be secluded and guarded in the Cloud Recesses, where Wei Wuxian trusts Lan Wangji to look after them, even when Lan Qiren disapproves.
Wei Wuxian destroys the amulet before negotiations over his own life start, which may, in retrospect, have been foolishly shortsighted.
* * *
In which Wei Wuxian survives a negotiated cease-fire, the Yin Iron is destroyed, and being alive when you expected to be dead is much harder than anyone expected.

Summary
Lan Zhan looks at him, his gaze assessing. Then, slowly, he drops his hand to his hip. He unbuckles his sword from where it’s hanging from a leather belt, and lifts it to place it on the kitchen counter just outside his easy reach. “I’m here to ask for your help. Not compel you. I believe Wen Chao, and perhaps others in his sect, have been somehow perverting cultivation with the influence of the supernatural. The undead, specifically.”
Wei Ying takes an entirely unnecessary breath. “My influence, you mean.”

Woof this one hits hard and has some seriously brilliant subtle world building. Smuttier than my usual recs but easily skimmed, I really like the character growth and the way the relationships build. It ends almost too quickly (would have loved a last chapter of fallout/cleanup/resolution) but does end well, so absolutely a rec from me!

Summary
The Lans were one of the founding families of the Vancouver Guild; part of their legacy is to maintain their place in it for the benefit of all. Cultivation is important, essential, serious.
In the distance, something squeaks.
A disaster, is Lan Zhan’s first impression as the bike squeals to a halt on the far side of Song Lan’s car. The man riding it – and he’s tall, and lanky, and sure-footed – hops off and locks it to the car’s back door. The back door of a police vehicle. He pulls his helmet off to reveal long, sweat-soaked hair with a shaggy undercut, bright grey eyes, and a smile that launches like an arrow straight through Lan Zhan’s chest.
No, he thinks, watching this trainwreck of a man shimmy between the narrow space dividing Song Lan’s back bumper and the next car’s hood like he’s doing some kind of dance step. Absolutely not.

They say he was thrown into Luanzang Gang by the man who killed his parents; they say that he is an immortal cultivator who had been in a deep trance until the Wen sect disturbed his rest and incurred his wrath; they say that he is the fierce corpse of a cultivator who had somehow regained his mind and his spiritual powers.
When Lan Wangji sees him for the first time, he understands why people talk.
Meng Yao wants safety. Xue Yang wants vengeance. The Sunshot Campaign wants victory. Yiling Laozu provides, for a price.

A really interesting take on the Burial Mounds, on time travel, and on how single changes can make up a larger whole. Really lovely character work and the pacing is solid all the way through, though the back and forth timeline might confuse some. The ending wraps things up nicely but felt a little rushed almost, compared to the work done for the lead up, but this was still a delightful read I'd absolutely recommend.

“A-Chao,” Wen Xu said. “I think our father is insane.”
Wen Chao’s eye twitched visibly, his shoulders rising up to his ears. “You can’t say that! That’s treason!”
“I’ve already made sure there’s no one anywhere around us right now, not even people I trust.”
Down went the shoulders.
“Of course he’s insane,” Wen Chao said. "Not much of an empire to rule if they’re all ghost puppets, is there? I think the Yin Metal is poisoning his brain.”
"Is there anyone we can ask for help? Anyone we haven’t pissed off?”
They both paused, thinking.
“…no,” Wen Chao said. “But in our defense, we never thought we’d need any of them, did we?”
