A/B/O as a Problematic Cultural Response To Transphobia, Gender Anxiety, and U.S. Policy by tomato_greens for beyonces_fiancee
Fandoms: Multi-Fandom
07 May 2022

Summary
In some ways, A/B/O stories are subversive, disrupting consensus social reality’s gender paradigms by exploring trans sexual desire, cis sexual desire that subverts patriarchal expectation, queer desire, non-gender-conforming desire, and extremely gender-conforming desire, often all in the same sexual act. In other ways, some stories' obsessive focus on the act of penetration in service of procreation reify patriarchal ideologies by inscribing them into not only social but biological reality. In A/B/O couples, the alpha is biologically determined to penetrate, and the omega biologically determined to be penetrated; their subsequent social behaviors, respectively dominant and submissive, are thus also biologically encoded. What do we do with that???
Illustrative quote from within: "Am I saying that A/B/O is the Angel of History? I mean, like, no, although that is extremely funny to imagine, so I invite fanart of The Angel Of History In Heat any time."
P.S. I mean "problematic" in the ~academic~ sense, not as in a cancelable offense.

Summary
"Eh! 'Little brother,' what!" Wei WuXian says, mock-outraged. "I'm thirty-five!" (Sort of. He was born thirty-five years ago, anyway.) "You must be, what, twenty-five tops?"
"Nooo," Xie Lian says, smiling. "I'm eight hundred years old."
"You don't look a day over four hundred," Wei WuXian says. "Seriously, how old are you?"
"Seriously, I'm eight hundred years old," Xie Lian tells him.
--
Lan WangJi had a lot of time to pray to different gods while Wei WuXian was dead. One of them was Hua Cheng.

The Best Little Bunny Cafe in all of Gusu by windofderange
Fandoms: 陈情令 | The Untamed (TV)
11 Jul 2020
Tags
Summary
Once upon a time, Gusu was a thriving town full of thriving local businesses. But driving the Wen family out took its toll, and the town and its people had never quite recovered. The Lan family, who had run the Cloud Recesses music school for generations, don't quite know how to feel, then, when a distant, disowned cousin of the Jin family, Mo Xuanyu, creates a trust in their honor. The trust comes with a few unexpected stipulations, though. First, it requires they open a cafe attached to their school, to help rebuild a sense of community in Gusu. Second, it requires that after six months, the cafe's ownership and execution of the trust be handed over to one Wei Wuxian, who no one in town has heard from in more than a decade, and most would prefer to imagine is dead.

Summary
Have you ever read Book 4 and thought, "Wow, this is really fucking sad. Wouldn't it have been great if things had gone just a little differently?" Do you love Wu Ming and wish there had been more of him in the novel? Are you a fan of pining, slow-burn, and hurt/comfort tropes?
If so, then this might just be the fic for you~
