    Summary

    The whole thing is over in less than ten seconds. Streaks of missed liquor continue to drip down Wei Wuxian’s jaw and neck after he is done, glistening in the bright galleon moonlight. Crumpling the can, he spins his sword in his hand, the quicksilver challenge flashing like his eyes.

    Clear as Clarity, the thought cuts across Lan Wangji’s mind with the first clash of their rapiers together: this absolutely cannot last.

     

    Teenage Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji are ghost-hunters dispatched on a routine Haunting.

    That modern (ish) AU set on Ngapuhi lands, steeped in Maori culture, referencing historical events.

    Summary

    “Brutally honest,” Jamie says, as if he’s still trying to get the point across. “No more secrets.”

    Roy stares at him. “Yes. I know what words mean.”

    “Okay,” Jamie says, and then he says, “I talked to Keeley about maybe being bisexual because that night we fought over her I wasn’t just jealous about her.”

    Or: Roy Kent finds himself in a situation. Fuck everyone, and Jamie Tartt in particular (gently, on soft sheets, all night long – ugh).

    That quite believable Keeley/Roy/Jamie one where they work it out. Roy POV, most "working out" emphasis on Roy and Jamie.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian dashes across the distance that separates him from his husband, like a child running through the dark as if that would lessen its existence. He grabs Lan Zhan’s hand and holds the arm close to his side, to a soft breath of laughter.

    “Come on, Hanguang-jun,” he half-whispers, because the atmosphere seems to call for it. “Light the way for us.”

    (Wei Wuxian has scarcely known fear to be gentle — and still. It's as if there’s something murmuring down the hallway, behind the closed door, next to the window in this howling storm: I’m here, I’m here, I’ve always been here…)

    Or, as Wei Wuxian starts to look into the reasons behind the unsettling notion that something is not quite right, something else starts to look back.

    That long, increasingly unsettling fic where WWX, LWJ, the juniors and Luo Qingyang get stuck at a small inn and when they look into the darkness, the darkness starts looking back. Also featuring Wen Ning.

    Summary

    Rikash knew he was signing up for a lot when he became Lord of the Stone Tree Stormwing nation.

    But joining forces with the extremely dangerous, mysterious, and oddly intriguing Veralidaine Sarrasri, the famous Stormwing Killer, on a road trip through the Divine Realms to assassinate those immortals stupid enough to risk the destruction of the world by working with Chaos?

    That's - unexpected.

    The slightly AU-ish one from Rikash's POV. Fun and satisfying.
