Summary
It's not something I ever thought I'd be doing, crawling into bed with Baz in the wake of my nightmares.
They're not just nightmares anymore though, are they? Because the Humdrum can summon me. It could summon me at any moment.
That’s why this makes sense. Baz is a brilliant magician and just brilliant in general. If we ended up whisked away in the middle of the night Baz would get us out of there (or himself at least).
And if not?
Well, if The Humdrum killed Baz that would solve some of my problems. So, I suppose it has to be Baz.
It has to be Baz because it doesn’t really matter if he dies.

Summary
At twenty-five, Simon Snow’s life is finally on the up. He’s got his magic back, people listen to him, and he can draw the Sword of Mages. A lot of people think he should lead the Coven.
But not everyone. The Old Families still see Simon as their enemy and they’re quite willing to quote obscure magickal law to stop him ascending to Mage. Simon’s never backed down from a challenge, though, or let anyone stop him doing what he needs to do. He’s not starting now.
Even if it means going back to school.

Summary

Summary
In his defense—not that he needs one, of course, because he’s done nothing wrong, technically, for the most part, but if he did he’d have this one ready, just in case—Jingyi started it.
Jin Ling comes up with a foolproof plan to repair his uncles' relationship. Unfortunately, his uncles can be very, very stupid.

Summary
Mingjue needs to be careful. He will not die in this fucking tomb under the earth. It is not his time, not yet.
And yet...
If.
Guangyao said if they get out alive, don’t tell Xichen.
He doesn’t believe they’ll make it. Guangyao is legitimately concerned that they might be trapped and die before they can escape. Probably, that’s why he’s allowed so much emotion to slip through his usual mask in the last few hours: if they die, who’s to find out that anything besides banal pleasantry exists inside his vicious trap of a mind?
Well, Mingjue knows. He’s always known. And by gods, they are going to make it out of this, even if it’s just to increase that chances of him one day getting the opportunity to punch Jin Guangshan in his stupid, smug, smarmy face. Nothing as pathetic as certain death is going to get in the way of him getting that satisfaction.

Summary
In his recent article in Contemporary Theories of Cultivation, Lan (2019) sets out to study the correlation between instrument choice and outcomes in the liberation of spirits. While his main thesis appears sound, his decision to limit the study to the qin, dizi, xiao and pipa undermines his conclusions.
This decision falls prey to the fallacy that tradition cannot be questioned. It ignores, too, the fact that many practising cultivators will encounter spirits that will have no exposure to such “expectations.” In a small study comparing the use of a dizi with a theremin—undoubtedly a non-traditional choice—the theremin produced optimal outcomes in liberating spirits where: time since death was less than 6 months; spirit was younger than 25 and older than 17 at time of death; or spirit motivation included aspects of revenge. The conclusions reached in Lan (2019), while providing a foundation for future study, are therefore as yet incomplete.

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.

“You know what?” Wei Ying said. “I think we should be friends.”
“Vulcans do not have friends,” said Lan Zhan. He was staring very determinedly at the screen in front of him.

If you're like me and know nothing about star trek, fear not - you will still enjoy it! It's super well written with delicious pining due to misunderstanding; if smut is not your thing it's also not an issue, it's near the end and not super integral to the plot

Very realistic portrait of jc, I often don't agree with how he is presented in fics (usually it's either 'he's an ungrateful villain' or 'he's a loving and caring brother under the mask of anger'), but here it was balanced and believable (and also well written)

Summary
“Which reminds me,” Wei Wuxian continued, “Of course you never read novels, but really, Lan Zhan, the one I am reading now is so very good, I think even you would find it worth your time. It’s not only thrilling, although it is that, to be sure. There’s real insight in it, and it touches on matters of justice and devotion which, you can guess, are of particular interest to me.” He laughed a little, as if dismissing his own preference in this.

(He’s my son, A-Cheng! Can’t you see? I birthed him of my own body.)

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.”
