"Again."
El is gone.
Will tries to figure out how to move on in New York, and Mike follows him. Their apartment is haunted not by ghosts, but by the two of them.

This was phenomenal: absolutely heartbreaking watching Will’s hope and despair, and Mike’s confusion, grief and want for Mike. The scenes where Will stood his ground and communicated his feelings were both amazing and heart-wrenching. It also had the perfect mix of smut and angst, as well as a beautiful ending. What a wonderful canon-compliant fic that gives S5 the closure it needed.

Summary
"Do you ever want-" Mike pauses, searching briefly for the words as Will holds his hand, playing with his fingers. "Do you ever think about like, going further?"
Will bites his lip, the immediate answer being of course, Yes.
"Yes."
"Like, further than second or third base, I mean."
Will feels oddly calm, peering up into Mike's eyes. "Yes."
"Oh," Mike says faintly, a soft smile coming into his face, and not for the first time Will desperately wishes for a peek inside the dark haired boy's mind. Then, "Would you ever want to go further.. with me?"
Or, Mike and Will take baby steps to a big step in their relationship ft. experimentation with gender non-conformity, the freedom and trust that comes with love, first times, technically improper use of a pillow fort but that could easily be argued

I loved this fic, so refreshing seeing the boys openly communicate and be confident in saying what they want physically in a relationship with each other <3 love how accepting their friends are of the relationship as well!

Summary
Will thinks this was what he’d been anticipating all night. Sure, he doesn’t feel an actual need to scent-mark, or to experience it… but he thinks he’d like to with Mike. And if Lucas’ smell was bothering Mike that much…
“Okay, fine. Let’s do it.” Will flicks up the sleeve of his shirt on his wrist and holds it up.
Mike’s expression wavers.
“Or, if you want to back out…” Will asks worriedly, letting his hand fall.
“No, I—I guess I just assumed. The neck’s the best place to do it, right?”
On the cusp of presentation, is Will really ready for the changes heading his way? Especially the uncertainty regarding his... friendship with Mike. Or was friendship even the right way to categorise them, anymore?

Summary
Wei Wuxian is going to be offered to the Emperor Lan Wangji as a marriage prospect at the end of the Jiang sect's visit to the palace. He's not worried - the Emperor always says no to every offer. But he is bored, sitting around and waiting until the day of the ceremony so they can get it over with and go home.
While he is exploring the palace, he coincidentally meets a beautiful man called Lan Zhan, who he loves to tease. These things may be related.

I LOVED everything about this. Their sweet secret interactions in the garden, to the budding sexual tension and long awaited union at the end. Just a perfect, sexy wholesome fic

Summary
He turns them over in his mind. Jiang Yanli and the Jin clan heir. His father and mother. He and Wei Wuxian. What they are. What it means.
The dancing lights that materialize when they touch. The music that seems to hang in the air between them.
Their golden cores. Pairs of cultivators.
Zhiyin.
Zhiji. Zhixin. Soulmates.
Lan Wangji understands now why his sect, his uncle, had been so ashamed of it. Why they do not speak of it in the Cloud Recesses. His father’s soulmate was a woman who killed Lan sect cultivators. Jiang Yanli’s soulmate is a man who does not want her, who does not even like her.
And Lan Wangji’s soulmate is the most disruptive, undisciplined, loud-mouthed troublemaker the Cloud Recesses has ever seen.

Bookmarker's Notes
this was so beautiful with the happiest ending, but also one of the most tragic canon-adjacent wangxian fics I’ve ever read. The grief Lan Zhan felt for 16 fucking years and how the summer solstice was the one day of the year Lan Zhan could feel happy because he was close to Wei Ying, broke my heart. Didn’t expect my eyes to water so much reading this. In addition the side characters, Jiang Cheng and Lan Sizhui were so amazingly written. This fic made me feel for Jiang Cheng, his actions were so redeeming at the end. The brother that canon Wei Ying needed <3
