Summary
Johnny Silverhand has never been good at accepting defeat, even when impossible odds are handed to him on a silver platter. He does not fold, he does not surrender, and he most certainly does not lose.
And yet, lose he did. In the aftermath of V's assault on Arasaka tower, Johnny finds himself crammed back into V's body as its sole inhabitant, just barely clinging to life—along with a half-fried, early prototype version of the Relic. If V's plan had worked, her engram was copied to it, fully intact until he could find a way to revive her. If it hadn't...well, then she had been torn to pieces in Mikoshi, split in two by her own attempt to save herself.
With no way to tell if V is even on the chip, let alone whole, Johnny sets out on his own leg of their impossible journey, determined against all logic to get her back no matter the cost. In order to do so, he'll need to work his way through V's network of contacts and friends, building new bridges and burning countless others—but fuck if he’s not going to burn the whole NUSA to the ground to do what he couldn't all those years ago, and save the woman he loves.
[HIATUS; on hold, but not abandoned!]

Summary
"By the Heavens, did you hear? The Yiling Patriarch has been invited to the Discussion Conference in Qinghe!"
Gossip was, by far, the fastest way for information to spread.
"What! Whose idea was that!?"
It was not the most accurate or most reliable method, but people were people, and the tedium of daily life would always bore them.
"I heard it was the Nie Sect leader's suggestion."
----------
After thirteen years in the Burial Mounds, the Yiling Patriarch finally makes a public reappearance. Civilians are scared. Cultivators are outraged. Sect Leaders are concerned. Wei Wuxian has been too quiet, they say, and nobody knows what dark horrors the Burial Mounds may now contain.
Wei Wuxian wouldn't quite call them dark horrors, but the description wasn't too far off.
(tl;dr Wei Wuxian lives, raises a whole gaggle of demonic cultivator children, and the cultivation world panics.)

Summary
“No?” Wuxian’s voice takes on a teasing edge. “Not even Jingyi?”
The knife clatters against the wall, missing its intended victim entirely.
Wuxian and Wangji both laugh behind him.
“Oh, sweetheart,” Wuxian sidles up behind Sizhui and wraps him in a warm hug, “you’re so obvious. You both are.”

Summary
Lan Wanji was never told the details of his parents' story. Now that he has discovered his own desires, his life's goal is to keep Wei Wuxian from finding out. But life is cruel and truths get revealed at the worst possible times.
Since I suck at summaries, here are some key features:
- it's Wangxian mainly
- plus some development of the prev generation Lans
- plus going to war with the Wens
- plus Wen Qing being totally badass
- plus Jin family craziness
- plus just about every character ever mentioned on the show and some assumed ones getting screentime and storylinesAnd if you're still wondering, here's a taste:
------------------------------
“Ah, but there are other Wens here though,” Jin Guangshan gave an appraising look to Wen Ning and Wen Qing. “Who could say where they were last night.”“Where do you think I was,” Wen Qing retorted quickly, “on my wedding night?”
[...]
“What about him then?” a Jin pointed at Wen Ning.“He was with me,” Nie Mingjue said flatly.
“All night?” Nie Huaisang peeked over his fan to stare at his brother. “What were you doing?”
“Talking,” Nie Mingjue said in a threatening tone. The fan went back up.
