Erisette's summary:
Love was not forbidden in the Cloud Recesses, despite what was whispered by the common people and, often, even by the other great sects.
(Or: how Lan Wangji became both a father and the object of worship to a generation of juniors in
13 easy steps13 long years)Bookmarked by ExileInIL
30 Oct 2025
Bookmarker's Notes
To be of use, written by Erisette (written fic here - https://archiveofourown.org/works/23246545), and podfic by isweedan. This is such a lovely story, an in-depth slice-of-life story, covering Sizhui's childhood and growing years with Lan Zhan, with so much character and relationship growth for them both, and also lots of great Jingyi content! Includes world building of a sort, and how they all interact with each other and view their world, duties, and interpretations of the rules. Their student group makes me feel the future of the Lan sect is in good hands. (Also Sizhui's request to the luthier when getting his qin is priceless!).😸
And the podfic is wonderful, one of my favorites in this fandom that I continue to enjoy re-listening to now and then. isweedan's reading is so sweet, thoughtful and expressive. I highly recommend! ❤️

What a sweet series, low angst, low conflict, and high on love and comfort. Perfect when you need a pick me up, something that reminds you that yes, communication is key, people are good, and all will be well for our favorite characters. And yeah, you had me at the "Good Uncle Lan Qiren" tag. And Keri's reading of it is so wonderful, smooth and easy to listen to. It has warmed me in these cold winter days. Would highly recommend! 😺

Holy shit, this is what little podfics wanna be when they grow up. Absolutely beautiful reading of an epic fic. kalakirya has such a beautiful voice, and narrates so smoothly, with distinctive character voices. And it's a great story with really neat callbacks to the source material in an AU that works so well. And can I mention the excellent pacing? Because for such a long work, it is fast paced, so tightly woven, and every word counts (no "filler episodes" here, folks). I can highly, highly recommend!!

Wei Wuxian,
Multiple employees have raised a concern with your attire today. Please be advised that T-shirts are not in line with our employee dress code. In particular, a T-shirt that says “Freak in the Spreadsheets” is not appropriate. I am attaching a copy of our dress code policy to this email.

“Yiling Patriarch,” he begins, and Wei Wuxian’s face clouds.
“Please. That’s not – you know me, Zewu-jun. What’s wrong? Why are you here?” He walks over and Lan Xichen sees he has no weapon, not even his flute. He came to meet Wangji unarmed, defenseless. With a smile on his face.
“I’m here to ask for your help. It’s Wangji. He’s ill.”

Crys hissed, sounding awed, “You slept with the General?”
Cody tugged his bucket down fast enough to hide a wince. In the light of dawn, with his head not so fogged and bleary from fatigue, it didn’t seem half as logical as it had the night before. But he’d be kriffed before he told Crys that. He said, tone even, “Couldn’t have him freezing to death. Let’s go.”
OR, the one where Cody starts sharing quarters with Obi-Wan a year into the Clone Wars, and it changes many things.

I never thought of myself as an Obi-wan/Cody shipper, but this story might make me into one? I love how their relationship grows over time and feels so natural. And the reading by PolynomialPandemic is excellent. Great story, and a great podfic.

Bookmarker's Notes
Amazing story (written work here - https://archiveofourown.org/works/6437167), richly detailed, excellent pacing and action, great AU with little canon references sprinkled in. The podfic by jellyfishfire is absolutely beautiful. The spoken word is impeccable, but more than that, the podfic includes soundscaping, and actual radio broadcasts and music from the era (lots of music). However the music and sound effects never distract or obscure the spoken word, it is perfectly balanced and easy to listen to, makes the story real and listening experience immersive. This is an excellent example of how podfic music and effects can transform and enhance a story, and take it to the next level and beyond.
Note: the written work is an incomplete WIP, but jelly used WW2 era radio broadcast and music to give the ending of the podfic more of a complete feel, not a resolution exactly, but a feeling that though there's more to come, there's hope as well.

AMAZING story by MuffinLance, written work here - https://archiveofourown.org/works/21116591/chapters/50249441 . This is so well written, lots of feels, would highly recommend (and you had me at "dadkoda")😸. It does have some very frequent pov shifts (esp in the beginning, sometimes even within the same scene), which may be a little distracting at first, til you get used to the writing style. The story is SO GOOD though that with a little time to get used to it, it is worth it.
This is the first continuation type of podfic I've listened to. Chapters 1 to 11 had been podficced previously by ariaelwen, here - https://archiveofourown.org/works/24969112/chapters/60445609 . But that podfic was incomplete, so Tuktuk just picked up where ariaelwen left off, and started this recording at chapter 12 and continued it through to the end of the story (20 chapters total). Both podfics are fantastic.

Hella-long story, but very well written, canon divergence but still coinciding with other canon events. Pacing slow but not in a bad way, it allows TIME for character development and relationship building to progress realistically. I like that it's not rushed, although I never would have had time to actually read it. Thankfully it was podficced (read by the author no less), and podfic is excellent. It's first in a series, and I really look forward to the rest.

Summary
From his job in the Armitage L train station booth, Wei Ying has watched The Most Beautiful Man In The World ride the train at 8 am and 4:30 pm for years, always in perfect suits, always with perfect hair, always with a perfect smile.
He's going to marry that guy someday. So what if he doesn't know his name. Names have nothing to do with true love.
When he saves His Future Husband from being squished by a train, Wei Ying finds himself engulfed in a tsunami of Lans who think he really is going to marry Mr. Wonderful, Lan Xichen, their son/brother/uncle/nephew. Despite himself, Wei Ying likes belonging to them. Except for the lying. Except for the guilt. Except for the fact that he took one look at his pretend-fiancé's brother, Lan Zhan, and maybe, MAYBE fell stupidly, hopelessly in love.
He can't tell them. He can't not tell them. How could this possibly get any worse??? (spoiler alert: it gets worse)

AMAZING story based on the movie "While you were sleeping". I first discovered this story via the podfic by Spinifex, (a link to the podfic can be found here - https://archiveofourown.org/works/43473801/chapters/109312194). I had actually never seen that movie before, so after listening to the podfic, I rented the movie and watched it. I can honestly say that to me, this story is SO MUCH BETTER than that movie. Spinifex's podfics are always great, but this one in particular is a favorite feel-good comfort-food kind of podfic. As for the story, you know how there's always a favorite Christmas movie that you watch every year? One that makes you both laugh and cry? This is like that, and something like comfort food, that you can come back to again and again. It's a "found family" story, and the heartfelt dialogue and inner monologue of Wei Ying's feelings had me crying like a baby. There's also laughter, snark, memorable characters, music, hectic family moments, and so much love. And in the podfic Spinifex delivers on so many voices (all distinct, even when singing!). And the chicken music!!🐓 Anyway, the story is so well written, and such a wonderful feel-good story, this is one of my fave modern au stories, definitely would highly recommend!

Really neat story, written work found here - https://archiveofourown.org/works/20049589 , author builds a lot of lore about dark magic, with alternate view that dark magic is not inherently 'evil'. Interesting seeing the story from a Slytherin pov, character building for Slytherins (incl Harry).
As for the podfic, SaySoul has a beautiful reading voice, and a smooth narrative style. Took me 3 days to listen to the whole thing (listened at work), definitely time well spent, and I look fwd to the sequel.
