    Summary

    What do you get if you make Shen Yuan/Peerless Cucumber really into PIDW villain Shen Qingqiu, then you put him in PIDW and take away his internalized homophobia and self control and break his system so it can't stop him? This fic.

    This fic is mainly Jiuyuan + MuJiu (SY in Mu Qingfang body), but ends with MuJiuYuan, heavily implied.

    Summary

    The young man leaned forward, elbow on a propped up knee. “You are all respectable cultivators,” he said in a lilting tone even as the veritable army below pointed their swords at him. “Was this really the best way you could think of to get my attention?”

    With the threat of the Wen sect looming, the other major sects decide to summon the aid of a man they’d killed centuries ago: the Yiling Patriarch, Wei Wuxian.

    Also available in Russian, Spanish and as a podfic.

    Summary

    “He will be writing,” Mobeijun rumbled, “and he will stop. He will be talking, and he will stop. He will be listening, and then— he will stop.”

    His hand rose in an aborted movement that shifted into crossing his arms, and Mu Qingfang had the impression that the Northern King was, in fact, agitated.

    Shang Qinghua seems to be suffering from a very unusual malady. Mobeijun is concerned.

    Summary

    “Baba,” a tiny voice says, close to Shen Qingqiu’s ear. “Baba, wake up.”

    “What is it?” he mumbles, pushing himself upright. “Are you all right, Xinhui?”

    “Baba needs to go to the kitchen,” Luo Xinhui announces, with great solemn eyes. “Diedie is cooking.”

    “Oh, is that all?” Shen Qingqiu asks, bundling his daughter into his arms. “That’s all right, Xinxin. Binghe will have breakfast ready in no time, and then we’ll send for Xiabao and sit down to eat.”

    Xinhui shakes her head. “Baba, you don’t understand,” she persists. “Diedie’s cooking everything.

    Or: two months after a family trip to the capital, seventeen-year-old Luo Yu'en runs away from home.

    Back at Cang Qiong, his parents search for the truth behind his departure.

    Summary

    Shang Qinghua is volunteered for the company charity date-auction, and is promptly put in as a forgettable middle bid, right after a guy whose name people can’t even remember. He’s more there as padding, so surprise comes to him when someone actually bids for him.

    (And it’s shortly followed by fear when he realizes who has bid for him.)

    Summary

    “Didn’t you know? The entire cultivation world turned upside down five years ago!”
    “Yu Ziyuan and Jiang Fengmian decided to adopt the son of a servant. What’s worse, they allowed their maids to marry, and they’re both women.”
    “You think that’s bad? Look at Madame Jin! Deposing Jin Guangshan and marrying not just one woman, but two! A peasant from Mo Village and a ... prostitute from Yunping.”
    “Thank heavens those kids are invited to study at the Cloud Recesses. Honestly, if Qingheng-Jun and his wife hadn’t emerged from seclusion, I think Wen Ruohan would have started killing many more than just Old Sect Leader Nie.”

    It’s our favorites’ teenaged years again – but this time, everyone has good parents, with the exception of Jin Guangshan. And with three loving mothers, how far will Jin Guangyao go for his father’s love this time around?

    Written for Jin Guangyao Month, because for his birthday month, I’m giving him everything he wanted except his father.

    What he's not prepared for is Lan Wangji.

    Summary

    After a brief meeting of families and an equally brief betrothal, Wei Wuxian is married on a balmy morning in the autumn of his twenty-fifth year.

    Despite his passion for love-ballads and romance novels, Wei Wuxian never expected that he might be married one day. As the common-born ward of a merchant, he lacked the standing to find a wife among the gentry; and though he had liked the idea of a love match—where neither his rank nor that of his wife would matter very much, as long as Wei Wuxian could provide a comfortable home for them—no would-be beloved had ever materialized.

    It was thus that he came to be unwed at the age of twenty-four, when one of his uncle’s old friends from court wrote to Lotus Pier to ask if Jiang Fengmian would be in favor of a ruzhui marriage with Wei Wuxian as the bridegroom.

    Or: the minghun of Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji, in four parts.

    Summary

    “...the elders have ordered the child to be removed to the wet nurse. Madam Lan will be permitted to see him once a month once her confinement has ended.”

    Lan Qiren considered this for a moment; the long years of watching his sister-in-law waste away, the grief Wangji and Xichen carried throughout their lives after her death, the pain their family had suffered through because of it.

    And then, channelling his gremlin nephew-in-law who sat so close to the surface of his thoughts, Lan Qiren set his shoulders back and replied, “Over my dead fucking body.”

     

    On the heels of a great tragedy, Lan Qiren finds himself sent back in time to his youth. He decides to save, in order, his sister-in-law, his best friend, his best friend’s husband, and the only sect leader who may have a chance of standing against Wen Ruohan.

    Summary

    The topic of Jiang Yanli’s marriage prospects came up while Jiang Yanli sat with her parents one morning, working on an embroidery project.

     

    “Acting Sect Leader Lan suggests that you might be a good match for Lan Huan, now called Xichen,” her mother said to Jiang Yanli. She looked consideringly at Jiang Yanli, who glanced up from her embroidery. A small smile touched her mother’s mouth. “It would be a good match. We will travel to Gusu and discuss this proposition. Make the arrangements.”

     

    Jiang Yanli’s engagement to Jin Zixuan never comes to fruition.

    Somehow, someway, she finds her way to true happiness regardless.

    Summary

    The man is in Lan Zhan’s bed. Did they—he begins to wonder, eyes trailing to where the man’s body lies under the blanket. Had Lan Zhan—?

    Then the sleep-fog clears and Lan Zhan realizes that the young man isn’t quite opaque around the edges.

    “You’re a spirit.”

    The spirit narrows its eyes. “I’m so much more than that.”

    (Lan Zhan buys a guqin off eBay for a suspiciously low price, only to find that it’s haunted. And now there’s a ghost in his bed.)
