Summary
A magic war against the Wens has been going on for years. The Gusu Lan sect's only chance of survival is an alliance with the infamous Yiling Laozu.

Summary
"Have you heard of Wei Wuxian?" someone bellows. It's a teenager with a microphone, the speakers loud and obnoxious above his head. "Come join the Yiling Wei sect and earn the opportunity for her to teach you personally!"
He has a stall and everything. There's another teenage boy with him, handing out leaflets. Wei Ying pulls her hair down to cover the sides of her face and walks up.
"Hey! Are you interested in demonic cultivation?" asks the kid brightly. He grabs a leaflet off the stall and thrusts it at her.
"Uh, I don't really know a lot about it," Wei Ying says, "but you said Wei Wuxian could personally teach me?"

Aka the casefic where someone is impersonating Wei Wuxian and has founded a sect, or possibly a cult, or possibly a multi-level marketing scheme, in her name.
Aka the wlw mlm fic.

Too resentful of her own fate, her brother's, and Wei Wuxian's to let it go, Angry Ghost Wen Qing goes on a rampage to honor her dead and punish their defilers and teach all of them all about themselves.
If she winds up feeding the few people she has to kidnap as she goes ... well, that's just sound medical practice!

Summary
When Lan Sizhui and Lan Jingyi are woken in the middle of the night and sent on a desperate mission to find Hanguang-jun and Senior Wei Wuxian, they could not have guessed the reason why. With Sect Leader Lan Xichen in desperate need of help from Sect Leader Jiang, and a brewing crisis in the Lan Clan, it is left to a small group of people, some linked by blood and others by love and friendship, to hold the line together and help prevent a great injustice.
Content Note: There is some description of violence and injuries and blood in this one, but they mainly show the after effects of said violence or are discussions of things that were done in the past. I haven't tagged it as an archive warning as I don't feel they are graphic, but I did want to give a heads up that this story does have elements of them within it.

This is rich, rural, lush, quiet, like the Pastorale Symphony. It's all about the language.

Summary
It would be a lie to say that Wei Wuxian hadn't had some prior understanding of Lan Zhan's… endowment, having seen him in various states of undress over the years — and indeed, while bathing with no clothes on at all! — but there is a difference between knowing something intellectually and being confronted with it like this.

Bookmarker's Notes
The short story form is, we are informed by professional novelists, much more difficult than one would guess, so when a perfect example of the genre appears, it should be celebrated.
Using the Time Travel Trope, subsets Sidekick Traveller and Single Act Change, our author has presented an entirely satisfying example of the form. From within all of the perfect writing, I present a tiny pearl:
There are several moments where Nie Mingjue fears (yes, fears) that war will break out, though it’s utterly unclear exactly who would be at war with whom.
Read it.

Wei Ying glances aside and smiles. "Are you okay?" he asks.
It is three in the morning. Maybe they're the only people in the world.
"Yes," Lan Wangji says, surprised at how much he means it.
This is a story about running away.
And finding your way home.

"What are we doing?" Gregor panted beneath Miles. They were lying on the floor of Gregor's private sitting room and, as was proper, quite Vorishly drunk.
"I know you got the same Sex Talk from mother as I did, even if you did skin out of proper Betan sexual education," Miles said, a little breathless himself.

THIS is for Bujold fans who always wanted a bit more detail on the Effects of a Betan Education on Vorish Individuals.
This is also a highly steamy, anguish-free and plotless interlude for a couple of very young men.
This is ALSO ALSO an excellent example of the detailed and delicate composition that I most enjoy!

Summary
“Are you a cultivator?”
“No,” she says, steadily. “This one doesn’t possess the core for it.” She pauses and raises her eyes to his, so boldly he finds it a little startling. “I believe that I can be of use to the Jiang sect in spite of that, and I have brought a gift to prove it. May I show you?”
Fully intrigued now, Jiang Cheng nods. The girl unslings the bundle from her back, unties a couple of straps, and unrolls it on the floor in a smooth motion.
Jiang Cheng is on his feet before he even consciously realizes it’s happened, and the reaction murmurs out through the hall. There, on a blanket that belongs on the back of a horse, are five Wen cultivator swords, offered to him by a girl who looks like the word “bumpkin” was invented specifically for her. What the fuck.
“Where did you get those?” he asks, instead of asking “What the fuck?” out loud, because that would be unbecoming of his status as sect leader.
The girl meets his eyes again, lifts her chin, and says simply, “I killed the men who carried them.”
Or: Fan Dingxiang cultivates the swole path. Jiang Cheng doesn't know how to handle that.

At my age, when I find something very funny, I smile wide or, at the most, chuckle.
Imagine my surprise to find myself shrieking with laughter with my hand over my face, unable to stop for several minutes.This is not a comedy except in the way that a well-lived life is automatically a comedy. This is not a tragedy except in the way that a self-important narcissist tries to create tragedy. This is not Politically Correct except in the way that simply living one's best life and taking no shit from anyone can be disparaged as Politically Correct.
But most of all, this is the story of the power of friendship and ordinary people.
Oh, and in the correct places, hot enough to ignite your eyebrows. Mark my words.
