Summary
Two men in red wedding silks approach an ancestral shrine, within a temple of cedarwood. A red ribbon is placed, carefully and by both the men’s hands, in the center of the altar.
To their eyes and those of the crowd below, the ribbon does not change.
On the spiritual plane, though… it lights up.
~*~
In their new home and community, WWX and LWJ built an ancestral shrine to their mothers, bowing to them on their wedding day. Their ceremony involved a symbolic red ribbon of fate, and when they placed it on their mothers' altar as an offering, their spirits were summoned to see just how happy their sons have become.

Summary
for anyone who may find it useful to have open in a side tab while reading MDZS fics~
watching MDZS since 2020 was a steep learning curve for me — I'd never watched a show in Chinese language before! and captions aren't always the most reliable translations... I had to start start keeping track of what I'd learned.
and I figured this might be helpful to someone else. also, I'm a slut for languages, so this was just fun!

Summary
At thirty-one, omega Lan Wangji is an accomplished cultivator who holds two Ph.D.'s, works at JinLinTai University Library as Director of Collection Management, teaches courses in Cultivation Musicology, and conducts research to compose an enchanted symphony. He assumes the time for finding a mate and having pups has passed him by, and works to be content with that.
After spending half of his adolescence and all of his twenties in independent, self-taught research and raising his younger sister, alpha Wei Wuxian finally got the Jianghu to recognize his work re-discovering talismanry and array language. Unfortunately, the Sects aren't exactly thrilled with his surprise appearance, and are eager to get him either under their thumb or out of the way. When the strange and beautiful Lan Wangji offers to help him, he's not in a position to say no.Finding companionship and understanding in one another, the two begin a courtship that surprises everyone, but most of all themselves.

Summary
It was another indistinguishable night, and his fingers followed their well-worn path across the guqin while the spirits listened and lingered in his periphery.
‘Do you know where he is?’
‘No, we don’t.'
The same answer as always.
‘But we have a suggestion.’After the fall, a desolate Lan Wangji is presented with an opportunity to retrieve and repair Wei Wuxian's soul by going where no cultivator has gone before.

anger described so beautifully, and story-weaving in a way that feels like divination - the way we can find wisdom and clarity in myth
