Summary
Luo Binghe rolls to his back, looking up at their bed’s canopy. “When you invited me to sit in your carriage... that was you?”
“Yes,” Shen Qingqiu says warily.
“I was fourteen,” Luo Binghe says. “But if Shen Qinqgiu’s body wasn’t your own, how old were you?”

Bookmarker's Notes
Excellent character study of Shen Jiu's trauma, how it might be mitigated in ideal circumstances, and then a perfect illustration of how that enneagram book I was reading kept emphasizing how the more stress you're under the more your coping strategies are self-sabotage that get you the exact opposite of what you hope to achieve whoops! Also the OCs are *chef kiss*

Summary
It had been three weeks since his qi deviation. Three weeks of being treated by other people as Shizun’s son, as his student; three weeks of whispers behind his back from his supposed martial brothers and sisters, three weeks of being stared at, and three weeks of absolutely no sex.
Luo Binghe and Shen Qingqiu have a difference of opinion on what constitutes an adult. (Really it's just Cang Qiong shenanigans.)

Bookmarker's Notes
What I really wanted from the final battles of Heavenly Official's Blessing was for it to Be More Fruits Basket and WOW OKAY THIS FIC DELIVERS THAT AMAZINGLY. Filing this under fix-it fic in that the thing to be fixed was "mildly disappointed in the ending of TGCF because I was not the optimal audience for these themes", and this fic addressed all those issues just as I wanted, while punching me in the feels (both with trauma and with softness) and making me go feral. This is what I came to AO3 to find!!!

Summary
It is a weird thing to wake up and realise that for the first time in 800 years, you are no longer in love. Hua Cheng felt it even before he opened his eyes, could taste it in the back of his throat. Even the air around him felt different: stale, and with a strange odour to it. With his eyes still closed, he took stock of his other mental facilities, and it all came back in order, except—
Except that for the first time in 800 years, he thinks of Xie Lian and feels nothing.
(in which Hua Cheng's devotion gets stolen, and no one is happy about it.)

Bookmarker's Notes
Somehow I never managed to make the leap from canon "Hylians have long ears to hear the voices of the gods" and "Links often receive telepathy from Zeldas and probably Fi" to "In addition to nightmares Links probably also hear voices." So I am grateful to this fic! Rhoam managing to ruin two lives in one go by abusing Zelda and Zelda unknowingly passing this internalized abuse on to Link was a good touch, I will never get behind Nintendo's dad-apologist agenda for Rhoam.
I was a bit Disgruntled that Hylia was kind of "Just get over your internalized abuse, I can't give you any tangible support or affirmations until you love yourself first" BUT technically Zelda pulled it off BECAUSE Link loved her and that support empowered her to give herself a chance, so future!me I implore you to remember that actually Fruits Basket rules are in play and there's no need to get miffed about it. Likewise, future!me, I understand that you kept getting hung up on the logistics of the vow of silence and how communication is supposed to work but I really think that is NOT the important part of the story and you should wave your hand a lot and get over it. This was a good fic with some interesting stuff to say and you will want to experience it again.

She is actually doing quite well for a time displaced young woman who has just finished a century-long battle with demon, and whose admittedly-few friends are all long dead, and who hasn't used her vocal chords or seen the sun in a hundred years.
(Intimidating word count, but it’s 4 manageable arcs.)

Bookmarker's Notes
The thing about this one is I admired the world-fleshing-out a lot. That is to say, even the stuff that I was like "meh....I don't know if I agree with that....not what I have chosen for headcanon..." I felt like I could thoughtfully engage with why the author had made those choices, like it was logical and served a useful purpose and was therefore enlightening. That's got to be impressive, right?
Anyway very much loved trauma!Zelda, science-gremlin!Zelda, more-trauma!Zelda, but-who's-going-to-think-of-the-fishing-rights!Zelda, etc. Did not think I would like the level of gremlin that Link was but, future me, I want you to remember that it functioned very well in the fic and also that you were charmed by the way the author would take the game play mechanics literally in select situations where the absurdity would make the most sense, while Zelda stood there in horror.
Okay so it turns out this is the same author from ffnet who had the fic "Doubt" that I had tragically lost and I was actually currently still in mourning over but which has nevertheless remained permanently lodged in my brain since the day I read it, possibly the succinct term is "radically altered my brain chemistry", where a future "failure princess" Zelda says fuck the cycle because it's become systemic bs and she saves both the current Ganondorf (who is probably just some goat herd, which remains a hugely vital detail to me for some reason) and the current Link by point-blank lying that he's not the Hero and they'll just have to keep looking indefinitely. Anyway while this is not necessarily on the same motif this explains A LOT to me about all the feelings I felt reading this and other works by this author.

Summary
What does it mean to be one person living more than one life? Is it truly possible at all to be two people when you have only one skin, and only one heart to be shared?
These days, Lan Zhan has more names than friends. As Masked hero Hanguang-jun, he protects the night; as Lan Zhan, he nurtures his ward, A-Yuan. His only friend, his partner, and his almost-lover, the Mask known to him as Wuxian has died, and he is alone.
And then comes Wei Ying, A-Yuan's father, returned miraculously from a year-long coma. In no time, he begins claiming Lan Zhan's heart. As for Hanguang-jun, he finds himself chasing the elusive Yiling Patriarch, a new Masked threat with unnerving powers and a disturbingly familiar laugh.
Lan Zhan, Hanguang-jun, the whole person made of them both: he must fight through the confusion to the heart of the conflict, and in the process, learn the truth of his own heart.

Summary
There was no blood. No char. There was nothing to see except the strange softening of the Yiling Patriarch's mouth, as if just for a moment he was another person entirely.
"There is the mark of our bargain, and here is the challenge," said the Yiling Patriarch. "You may strike at me, exactly once, with your sword. I will not fight back; I will not resist you at all, Hanguang-jun." That silvery suggestiveness crept into his voice again. "And a year and a day from now, you will come to me and I will deliver exactly the same to you."
Lan Wangji heard his brother's voice raised in sharp and incomprehensible protest. His own heart was beating too loudly for him to hear anything else.

Bookmarker's Notes
a very excellent Sir Gawain and the Green Knight which reminded me of the days of college lit class Murder and Mayhem Monday and discussions that the message is "chivalry is an impossible standard and you cannot be inhumanly perfect all the time, the harder you refuse to accept it the more you're going to prove it true, unfortunately Gawain learned NOTHING." Except perfectly flavored for Untamed with Lan Zhan being so fixated on his honor that he refuses to acknowledge that this whole situation is stupid, it is legitimately a stupid deal, why are you falling upon your own honor like this, you aren't in a corner you can in fact back down and you can talk about this like sane people, you are not actually obligated to whack anyone's head off, etc. The bi shenanigans are now just Wei Wuxian pretending to be his own husband shenanigans in order to get the maximum number of Lan Zhan kisses a day, so that's basically the same thing and I love it. And finally Lan Zhan, unlike Gawain, actually learns the moral about compromising and living so *chef's kiss*

Summary
At home, Lan Wangji steels himself before taking off his shirt to investigate the problem on his arm. He isn’t sure which will be worse— to peel away his sleeve and find something horrific, or find nothing at all out of the ordinary.
Still, the only way to know is to take action, so he shoves his anxious uncertainty down into his golden core to burn away into nothing and unbuttons his shirt. Out come the cuff links, set gently back into their case. Finally, he tugs his arms out of their sleeves and, not yet looking at his arm, puts the shirt into its appropriate color-sorted laundry bin.
At last, he lets his gaze move to the back of his left forearm. His breath catches in his throat. The fingers of his right hand move, shaking just slightly, to skim at the half inch spot about halfway between his elbow and wrist.
Hard to the touch, there is a patch of cool white stone on his skin. More accurately, perhaps, there is a patch of his skin that has transmutated into, if he had to hazard a guess, white jade.
OR
In which Lan Wangji is slowly turning into jade and turns to local curse-breaking expert Wei Wuxian for help.

Lans be like okay when we repeatedly agreed we were willing to see Wei Wuxian die for the greater good we thought it was a metaphorical question, rude of you to make us murderers when you know killing is forbidden in Cloud Recesses :/
or, nobody is good at using their words and verifying that both parties are having the same conversation and thus between them all they kill Wei Wuxian out of deep care and concern for his well-being. Given that he lives anyway I am reading this as a comedy.

A year after Jin Ling's early succession to the position of Sect Leader, a letter is delivered to him under strange circumstances. A night-hunt follows.
Hanguang-Jun shook his head, and played again. This time, the response was slower, almost coy.
“What did it say?” Jin Ling asked.
“Hanguang-Jun asked what it was doing here,” Lan Sizhui translated. “The response was ‘Waiting.’”

Those who were dead but now live shout encouragements. --- -------- tells him to shape the world into something that suits him. --- ---- tells him to be stronger than what is trying to break him. --- ---- tells him to be prepared to die for the role he's been cast in.
The actor playing Wei Ying is flawless. He holds Lan Wangji's heart as if he were real. As if the heart were real. As if Lan Wangji was real.
As if any of this was real.

Summary
There is a boy with a red ribbon in his hair, with fire and valour in his heart. At the end of the story, he dies (repeat ad infinitum).
There is a boy with(out) a blue ribbon. He is made of broken glass; bleeding edges and distorted reflections. He holds love in his chest, he holds love like a bullet lodged in his chest. The ink on his contract is dry– but his fingers drip black; stained from rewriting the fates of others. At the end of the world he stands in the water and says– my soul, my body, my mind, but not my heart.
There is a valorous boy in a red ribbon. He is a puppet on a string. He is the gear that turns the fates of others. If he makes a contract he’ll end the world. If he makes no contract the world will end. He stares across the water at a love he has no memory of. He stares up at the shattered sky. He stares into himself and says, swallow down your hesitation– what will you wish for?
(You can only repeat a story so many times)

Summary
“It’s okay that you miss him,” said Lan Wangji, a familiar litany to them both by now. “Do you feel sad?”
“I feel sad,” A-Yuan repeated, shoulders hitching with tiny hiccuping sniffs. “When is he coming back?”
“I don’t know. I am not sure where he is.”
But this seemed to frustrate A-Yuan. “Xian-gege! I miss him! Please, baba?” He looked up at him with wet cheeks and a wide, quivering frown. “Please baba can you ask him? I really miss him!” He sobbed again, heartbreakingly.
It stabbed straight through him, cracking open the reservoir of loss and helplessness that was all his own. His child’s grief did that, sometimes. It always took him by surprise. He caught his breath sharply and gathered A-Yuan into his arms, holding him tight until the pain ebbed.
“I will try,” he said softly into A-Yuan’s hair, when he could speak again. He never made uncertain promises and tried not even to raise uncertain hopes, but his son was hurting. His son believed he could make it better. He couldn’t not try.
Wen Qing might at least know who this “Xian-gege” was. He would text her in the morning. It would be a start.

I don't know how to encapsulate all the feels this fic gave me with words so instead I would like to thank people in this fandom who are dedicated to the ideal of "tell me Lan Wangji is autistic without telling me he's autistic", in this one it's established by the 4th paragraph and only takes that long because of idk the necessary filler of setting up the bare minimum of scene. My needs are being catered to.
