What do Crows and Dragons have in Common? by cravinginks

Summary
Clearly, at this point, Lan Wangji didn’t consider Wei Ying to be so unbelievably improper as to discard him as a future mate. Wei Ying simply needed to fix that! “I need a mate that’s good in bed!” He declared boldly. The crowd burst into a chaotic mess at that. Suck it, Lan Wangji! You’re holding hostage a political nightmare! “I need a mate that’s so good in bed I shouldn’t be able to walk for days afterward! So good I shouldn’t be able to speak properly when they’re done with me!” Wei Ying crowed loudly, practically singing out all the things his poor virgin brain had fantasized about. He saw one older woman in the crowd swoon in shock. He grinned. “If my mate isn’t good in bed then what’s the point!? I’m a crow so I’ll be stuck in my nest forever until our babies are hatched, I’d die of boredom if the sex was bad! I’d fall asleep halfway through!” He whined loudly.
Wei Ying had been so caught up in the crowd’s reaction that he missed the way Lan Wangji’s golden gaze grew more and more heated with every word.

Summary
Mu Qing stumbles through the dark cavern, holding onto the wall to guide him. His legs feel strange to stand on, and mephitic vapors swirl around him, burning his nostrils and making his head feel foggy. This isn’t where he exited the water, but it’s his best chance at getting back. He went into heat too early and was completely unprepared. He hadn’t secluded himself or prepared his nest yet, as he was caught in the middle of scavenging. He ended up washing up on a beach as the warmth flooded his skin and his tail dispersed.
His heats have never been regular, but he should’ve known the spring pheromones from the alphas would trigger his system to go haywire. At least no one saw him as he limped away from the beach naked and searched frantically for a cave to hide in. He found the perfect place and promptly collapsed near the entrance, able to smell the saltwater from within but unable to make himself stand again. He had to wait his heat out alone while he anticipated the return of his tail when the overwhelming warmth finally receded.

Summary
In the cultivation world, strength is currency and Omegas are too often treated as spoils of war. Wei Wuxian’s defiance brings him to the edge of breaking, trapped in a system that would rather see him owned than free.
But bonds forged by fate do not snap so easily. Lan Wangji will not allow the world to claim what was never theirs. To take Wei Wuxian back means deception, unorthodox cultivation, and a war fought not just on battlefields but within the soul itself.
A dark A/B/O tale of captivity and survival, of fury and devotion, and of a bond that endures against all odds. This is not a gentle story—it is one of darkness, desperation, and devotion that refuses to break, even under the harshest trials.
_____________________
⚠️ Warnings
This work contains dark A/B/O themes: captivity, coercion, Omega auction, induced heat, non-con/rape, violence, trauma, and psychological distress.

[MANHUA] Incense Burner 2 (Parts 1-6) by Haruka_Forever
Fandoms: 魔道祖师 - 墨香铜臭 | Módào Zǔshī - Mòxiāng Tóngxiù

Summary
Six first parts of the Incense Burner Extra 2, drawn by the manhua artist of Mo Dao Zu Shi, Luo Di Cheng Qiu, also known as Mao Tuan Xiao Jian Jian. It's not an official art, rather what is called a "doujinshi". The artist allows translations.
I've separated this chapter into two different works on AO3 because of the different types of audience they are intended for (the second is explicit, with some underage/non-con stuff).
Context: Happens after the Incense Burner Extra 1, where Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian had entered a dream world because of a magic Incense Burner. There, they had witnessed one of their old dreams. Wei Wuxian's was about living in a farm with Lan Wangji as his husband, and Lan Wangji's was about r*ping Wei Wuxian in the Library Pavilion while they were teenagers after the latter had teased him with a pornographic book (who would have thought?! XD).
