Lovely fic, the worldbuilding really got me hook, it is background but absolutely fascinating. -Anon

The Lines of your Soul

by athena_crikey

M, 24k, Wangxian & Nielan

Summary: At this point he just wants to get Lan Zhan horizontal so he can sleep off the drugs that are making him make little confused snuffling noises and ask questions like “How soft is purple?” and “Where did the moon go?” and “Why does Wei Ying smile all the time?” Lan Zhan under the influence is cute, and it makes Wei Wuxian genuinely angry because he cannot appreciate it. This is not something Lan Zhan chose, this is not even an accident, this is an intentional violation and none of the sounds or questions or wide-eyed glances Lan Zhan is giving him are his choice.

~*~

Not an easy read, there is a lot of hurt there, but how lwj and wwx behaved in such an awful situation really got to me. -Anon

swallowing rocks, swallowing peach skins

by AvoOwO

M, 24k, Wangxian

Summary: There is an indescribable rage boiling within Lan Wangji's chest. Lan Wangji has often heard stories of unsuspecting travelers being taken from their camp within the night, held against their wills only to be somehow found weeks later, dead and in the most horrid of states. Stories are hard enough to read about. It is worse, he thinks, when it is Wei Ying he is here with, gagged and bound in the same way. They walk, and walk, and walk, and they do not stop.

~*~

Lwj and wwx are just. such disasters. and I loved their jobs, especially lwj. it was a very enjoyable read. -Anon

To See You (Again)

by FrameofMind (@frameofmind6), Jo Lasalle (Jo_Lasalle)

E, 84k, Wangxian

Part of Bottomji Big Bang 2023

Summary: A new job brings Wei Ying to London, and back into Lan Zhan's life. Many things have changed since their time in boarding school (Lan Zhan is out of the closet, arranges charcuterie boards, stocks a fine bar…), but their friendship slots right back into place like no time has passed. Wei Ying is a little perplexed by the fact that Lan Zhan apparently doesn't have any interest in dating anyone despite being an obvious catch—but hey, at least that means he doesn't have to fight anyone for Lan Zhan's time and attention. And besides, it's not like Wei Ying is in any big rush to find himself a girlfriend either. It’s all working out great!

~*~

This story is a ton of fun and such a different and interesting concept. @danegen

Pairfire

by PaidSubscription

E, 65k, Wangxian

Part of Bottomji Big Bang 2023

Summary: Welcome, young cultivators, to the most important event of your lives: your Coming of Age Symposium. At dawn tomorrow, you will be assigned to your pairmate. You will then complete the following courses together. Week 1: Love Languages (core course) Week 2: Conflict Resolution (core course) Week 3: Guided Gender Selection (core course, ongoing) Week 4: Caring for Your Pairmate in Distress (elective) Week 5: Heat Week (elective) On your final day you will choose which permanent A/B/O gender is right for you. We will provide guidance as you try each of them in the coming weeks. Good luck. OR: WangXian are unexpectedly paired for a relationship course. Shenanigans, pining, gender feels and horniness ensues. With art by Beanie.

~*~

This series was so much fun, especially watching Lan Wangji's lust for Wei Wuxian from Su She's POV. And I'm grateful the author included a second part so we can see all the bits we missed and how wangxian got together. Also lwj's competency kink for wwx's brilliance was gold. @gentil-minou

💙 The epic college romance between Wei Ying and Lan Zhan

by KizuKatana (@kizukatana)

E, WIP, Series, 57k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec

Summary part one: The (bitter) third party pov of the epic college romance between Wei Ying and Lan Zhan, as told from the pettiest NPC to ever exist. - - - - - A new student transferred into the university in their second year, and Su She was gleeful to see how much Lan Zhan was irritated by him from the very first day that the student (Wei something) showed up late for class with a ratty hoodie pulled up over his head and proceeded to sleep through lecture. Finally, someone else would be the butt of everyone’s jokes as they watched Wei Ying constantly try and fail to get Lan Zhan’s attention. When midterm grades came out, Su She was expecting the guy to be humiliated. That was… not what happened. Worse still, Lan Zhan was now actually turning his head to look at the guy when he spoke. And... wait, was Lan Zhan… putting his hand on the guy’s ass?! No. Su She does not accept this.

~*~

I love historical aus and Greaser!WWX with GoldenBoy!LWJ is one we know well, butI love this fic for all the heart it has and the way it covers setting-typical homophobia. Wangxian get a happy ending and then the epilogue at the end really just made me feel all kinds of feelings about being queer. @gentil-minou

Mad about the Boy

by TriviasFolly (@triviasfolly)

M, 62k, Wangxian

Summary: It's 1954, and Lan Zhan's life would be going well if it wasn't for the charming Wei Ying. Did he say charming? He meant annyoing. If it wasn't for that smile Lan Zhan could accept the future planned for him, the job as Cheif Surgeon who returned home to a demure wife who'd cook him dinner and asking him about his day. Instead, he finds himself dreaming about something more. So when Wei Ying offers him a deal, one that would get him out of Lan Zhan's life he took it. When the evening goes wrong, Lan Zhan expects his life to be over. Instead, he finds it's just the start of a new chapter.

~*~

The way this author made the story of the Scarlet Pumpenel fit in mdzs is, in my opinion, masterful. The arranged marriage is built on devastating misunderstanding after devastating misunderstanding, but the identity shenanigans are so fun! Other highlights include Jiang sect love and wangxian adopting not only A-Yuan but MXY as well. So much fun and an epic adventure! @gentil-minou

The Scarlet Lotus

by rainbowninja167 (@rainbowtitania)

M, 137k, Wangxian

Summary: In the years following the Sunshot Campaign, the mysterious, masked cultivator who’d defeated Wen Ruohan took on many identities: the Yiling Patriarch, leader of the Wen rebels, enemy of the Jin Sect, practitioner of wicked tricks. His true name was shrouded in mystery. He always wore a mask. He carried no sword; wore no clan colors or insignia. Clouds of resentful energy clung to him as he walked. But there was one thing that absolutely everyone agreed on: the Yiling Patriarch could not possibly be from the Jiang Sect. Or: a Scarlet Pimpernel-inspired fix-it featuring Wei Wuxian in disguise, Lan Wangji determined to bring the nefarious Yiling Patriarch to justice, and the hijinks that ensue when you accidentally marry your greatest enemy/love of your life.

~*~

Another fun and sexy fic built on misunderstandings but I love the tone of this one! There's a lot of heart in this fic along with some real world issues along with just lots of wwx love, which makes this fic something i reread again and again! @gentil-minou

With No Particular Affection

by Chrononautical (@chrononautintraining)

E, 92k, Wangxian

Summary: A prominent physicist and professor, Wei Ying has built a life for himself in Chicago. He's safe, he's happy, and he has plans for his future. Unfortunately, those plans are derailed the moment he finds out his brother is in trouble. To save the family business, it will have to be Wei Ying's life on the line. He has to marry his old high school crush, Lan Zhan.

~*~

wangxian exploring their sexuality while getting to act their age in cloud recesses is such a wonderful premise, and I love the way this fic lets them not being good at it. Also the little excerpts from the book throughout were such fun and always made me giggle! @gentil-minou

Fentao-laoshi's Guide to Cut-Sleeve Pleasures

by occultings (microcomets) (@microcomets)

E, 31k, Wangxian

Part of the good place server exchange 2023

Summary: Lan Wangji says, “I am also looking to . . . gain practical experience. It seemed mutually advantageous.” “Mutually advantageous,” Wei Wuxian echoes. “Wait. Do you mean I’d get to . . . ?” Lan Wangji stares at him. “Practice — on you?” Wei Wuxian finishes, his eyes round with disbelief. — During a shared summer studying in the Cloud Recesses, Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian diligently pursue an informed sexual education. What could possibly be the harm in some mutual learning?

~*~

the most heartbreaking, angsty, canon setting arranged marriage au i've read so far, in the best way. We get to see things from LWJ's pov and while his actions make sense, it's still so devastating as we watch WWX be affected by it all. The happy ending makes the hurt all the better too! @gentil-minou

💙 Concord

by Deastar (@youhideastar)

T, 41k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec

Summary: Lan Wangji hopes, somewhat frivolously, that his betrothed might find him an acceptable companion. Neither he nor Wei Wuxian are able to bear children, so there will be no need to share a marital bed; that should make it easier for the two of them to reach a natural, comfortable equilibrium. Two strings played in harmony: this is Lan Wangji’s quiet hope, as he arranges the Jingshi to accommodate a second inhabitant. Perhaps, he thinks, they might even become friends.

~*~

MothXian and WitchJi!!!!! The art for this au is always so lovely, and this fic fits it perfectly! The author has this gorgeous, dreamy prose that really enhances the setting and the sweetness of wangxian in this is so beautiful. @gentil-minou

light a lantern (and guide me home)

by xuanxuanwo (ostentatiouslyrealistic) (@xuanxuanwo)

T, 63k, Wangxian

Summary: At first, he thinks he’s caught a bird; it’s the size of one of his palms and wrapped fully in damp feathers. As he shuffles toward the beam of light that streams through the open window, he wonders how it managed to fly into his lantern, shut the door, and latch it against the wild gales of the wind. Then, he takes a closer look, thumbing across its feathers, and realizes that they’re not feathers at all. They’re leaves. Startled, Lan Zhan shifts as gently as possible and, using the tip of his finger, parts them to reveal a body, complete with tiny limbs and a small face, all of it wrapped in the dress made from peony petals. “Oh,” Lan Zhan breathes softly, heart clenching. “Oh, what are you?” -- A thunderstorm brings tea master and herbalist Lan Zhan a companion he never knew he needed. A tale of love, loss, and letting go.

~*~

Rockstar!WWX and Bookseller!LWJ and they are just the cutest. Notting Hill is a classic romcom and this fic fits the romcom vibe perfectly. @gentil-minou

When the Lights Come Up

by brooklinegirl

E, 50k, Wangxian

Summary: Lan Zhan's brother draws to a halt next to him, staring at the man on the other side of the counter. "Oh, it is you, isn't it?" The man, still propped against the counter on his elbow, gives Lan Huan a grin, then directs it at Lan Zhan again. "I don't know," he says. "Is it? Am I?" "You are." Lan Huan is hurrying around to the other side of the counter, a wide smile on his face, while Lan Zhan looks on, feeling more and more perplexed, like he's stepped into some alternate universe where absolutely nobody is making any sense at all. "Wei Wuxian! Lan Zhan, do you know who this is? It's Wei Wuxian!" Lan Huan is reaching for the man's hand, and he pushes himself lazily to standing, shaking Lan Huan's hand warmly. "In the flesh," he says. "You caught me." "My goodness." Lan Huan is staring at him like he's never seen a human being before in his life. "What on earth are you doing here, of all places?

~*~

magical wangxian who adopt mo xuanyu in a setting that's written so vividly, the whole place comes alive! it's part of a larger series but it can be read alone, but most importantly the characters are so patient and kind with such great moments between them all @gentil-minou

quiet, blooming hours

by Sanguis (@bel-ennui)

T, 13k, Wangxian

Summary: Fingers push through the earth, and a long lost boy takes the first gasping breath of his second life. The house of buried things has a new surprise for Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji.

bro is it me or people don’t really understand why lwj received the 33 lashes

#im looking at the lastest wangxianficrecs post and like #someof them have it be ''it's an au where lwj fell in love with wy and received the 33 lashes and punishment'' or smth like that #AND I'M JUST.... GUYS #DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT LWJ DID???#and it's even worse when people try to paint gusu lan as being cruel and unreasonable for it. GUYS #what lan wnagji did was treason. you know what a common punishment for treason was? lingchi (death by a thousand cuts)#LWJ knew exactly what he was risking when he saved WWX and attacked his own elders. HE KNEW. AND HE WAS WILLING ANYWAY!!#don't underestimate his devotion!!! LWJ KNEW HE COULD BE EXECUTED AND HE DID IT ANYWAYS #and honestly. if he was ANYONE other than hgj he would have been. the whole reason the elders were attacked #is because they were trying to bring him back before the cultuivation world found out about his betrayal #EXACTLY SO HE WOULDNT GET EXECUTED #his response was to turn around and commit treason against his own family and the ppl who were trying to save him!#AGAIN. DONT UNDERESTIMATE HIS DEVTION AND WHAT HE WAS WILLING TO SACRIFICE #Gusu Lan could 100% have executed him for it in the most cruel way. it's what hgj was likely expecting #if not that then AT THE VERY LEAST they would have broken his core and exiled him (another common punishemnt for treason in xianxia)#WWX wonders like 3 times in the novel what terrible mistake lwj could have made that t made him be ounished with the lashes #and why if it was so terrible they didnt just kill for it #the thing is that THEY SHOULD HAVE. but they didnt #WWX IS HORRIFIED AT THE LENGHTS LWJ WENT TO SAVE HIM. NOT AT ''ooooh the lans were sooooo mean for this''#LWJ commited treason against the cultivation world and against his clan. and was still able to cultivate and rise above and maintain his #reputation. DO PEOPLE NOT SEE WHAT BIG OF A DEAL THIS IS????#LWJ WHOULD HAVE DIED. HE WAS WILLING TO. HE WAS WILLING TO BE BANISHED WITH A BROKEN CORE AND RUINED REPUTATION #''if he made such a great mistake that was whipped to an inch of his life then why didnt they just kill him for it''#bro because that was still their second jade. because that was lwj. they didnt want to kill him even after all that #ANYONE ELSE would have been #sorry word essay but i'm just ?????

hello! i was wondering, do you know of any (if there are any) blogs that track mdzs fandom events? i know one of the fic rec blogs does but are there any that are only for tracking events?

Y'know, that is a fantastic question.

Short answer: I don't know!

Longer answer:

Not a tumblr, but there is a MXTX Events Discord run by the illustrious @wrecklwj with an excellent tri-fandom calendar

Over on dreamwidth, the pan-fandom fandomcalendar tracks submitted events, and they've got a tag for the MDZS Universe and another for all MXTX that I personally would love to see more used

As you mentioned, @wangxianficrecs is not an event tracker, but they do boost fandom events

Similarly, if it's a polyshipping MDZS event, you can bet I'll plug it on @polyshipweek

Also not what you asked for, but if you're looking to see more mdzs on your timeline in general, I can recommend: @dmdiaspora @mdzsartreblogs @mdzsnet @mxtxnet

Anybody know of an active event tracker blog?

do NOT fucking start one westie you do not need another project

Hi! Do you know of any MDZS-focused blogs that can help hook people up with fic recs? Or perhaps MDZS AO3 tag trackers (like for pairings?)?

Here's some that I've seen around the fandom! (note: I haven't used any of these because I'm a 小古板 that only finds fics one way lol, but I hope one of them works for you!)

@mdzs-fic

@wangxianficrecs

@wangxianficfinder

@ao3feed-wangxian

@ao3feed-xicheng

@ao3feed-untamed

And an obligatory plug for @mxtxnet and the mdzs fanfic tag.

#asks #anon #which reminds me i've been meaning to compile my fave fics into a spreadsheet or something #also sorry anon i'm not a great person to ask this question to because my fic finding methodology is hyperspecific to me haha #about a year ago i went to the MDZS section of AO3 and filtered by ship and other tags and just started reading through the results list #it's 733 pages or ~14000 works #i'm on page 72 right now hahahahahhaha #now i don't read every single fic on a page #just the ones where the summary and or tags interest me #so as you can see: hyperspecific lmao

It has arrived!!! I am so excited to share the fic I wrote for this year's @mdzsrbb. My artist @mojoflower / @wangxianficrecs did such a wonderful job with their art, and it was so much fun to create a story to accompany their work.

you mean to make a puppet of me 31k words, Rated T, Wangxian Summary: Lan Wangji tried to look around, but found that he was immobilized. Not panicking, because he was a powerful cultivator who did not need to panic, Lan Wangji attempted to break the immobilization with his golden core. Only to realize that his core, while intact, was blocked. He attempted to move his fingers. Nothing. No matter what part of himself Lan Wangji attempted to move or wiggle, he received no response from his body. He had, in fact, gone from standing over two bu high, to measuring perhaps a single chi in length. He was tiny. … Lan Wangji began to panic. ** In which Lan Wangji is cursed to be marionette puppet and transported to a different universe, where he is picked up by an alluring and kind puppeteer with a mysterious past...

Read on AO3

For your anon asking about getting their fic out there for recognition- try the tumblr blog wangxianficrecs. You can submit your fic to them and they do posts like Proud Author of a New Work. People also submit 'in the mood for' fic requests, so if any of their requests fit your fic profile you can offer it up as a suggestion.

Yes, that's a good idea!

Sorry anon, I have no idea how I missed this in my inbox at the time.

Rewind 2023 - Part II

WangxianFicRecs - Rewind 2023

Here is part two of our favourite stories published in 2023! Reminder that if you also want to give a shout-out to a story, submit an ask and we will share it in an upcoming post featuring Follower Recs and Proud Author Spotlights.

Part I

~*~

the dream of the fisherman's husband

by luckymarrow (@luckymarrow)

E, 5k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec

Summary: “Really? Are you fucking with me? Once for yes, twice for no.” Two taps. Wei Ying scrambles from his desk and over to the tank, presses his face right against the glass. “Was Wen Ning right?” he whispers. His breath fogs the glass. “Are you our new cephalopod overlords?” Once again, the little blue and white octopus taps twice against the glass. Wei Ying goggles. Then it taps a sequence against the glass. But Wei Ying has worked on enough expedition ships to know Morse code, or at least the most important code of all—SOS. This little octopus needs help.

~*~

New Perspective

by mrcformoso (@mrcformoso)

T, Series, 34k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec

Summary Part One: “Lan Zhan, let me go.” The last memory Lan Zhan has of Wei Ying was the soft, serene smile on his face as he fell to his death. It was, perhaps, what haunted him the most. When it came to the matters regarding Wei Ying, Lan Zhan was always too late. A character study looking into Lan Zhan’s character development between Wei Ying’s death and resurrection, and his struggles of changing in the wake of his newfound fatherhood.

~*~

The Art of Communication

by mrcformoso (@mrcformoso)

G, 4k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec

Summary: Lan Zhan can only say so much before the words get caught in his throat. He has long learned how to use his words sparingly, how to build enough of a reputation to minimize the use of words, has learned to hide behind little grunts and pointed looks. In contrast, Wei Ying never seemed to run out of words, speaking often and quickly, whatever was on his mind, mumbling equations and theories and his own thoughts as if he had a word quota to meet and exceed on a daily basis. So the Gusu University students found it rightfully strange that the two were dating. Chapter 1: Outsiders POV Chapter 2: Lan Zhan POV Chapter 3: Wei Ying POV

~*~

❤️ Across the street to another life

by danegen (@danegen)

M, 99k, Wangxian | Kay's & Mojo's Rec

Summary: Wangji stays on the piano bench as they’re closing up. Wei Ying chews his lip, knowing what he’s going to do but horrified at himself. But what’s the alternative: kick the guy out and find him sleeping beside the dumpster in the morning? And that’s if the cops don’t take him in for vagrancy. “Wangji?” Wangji looks up. Please don’t be a serial killer. “So, we’re closing up for the night, but A-Yuan and I live upstairs. Do you want to join us for dinner?” Wangji blinks. His head bobs in what’s probably a yes. “Great!” Fuck. Or a ragged monosyllabic man wearing a collar shows up at Wei Ying's music store. Wei Ying and A-Yuan ask, is anyone going to adopt this guy? And then they don't wait for an answer.

~*~

💙 Concord

by Deastar (@youhideastar)

T, 41k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec

~*~

silk linked together

by theLoyalRoyalGuard

G, 6k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec

Summary: Lan Wangji runs a sanctuary for rescued bunnies. His life is quiet and routine. Until Mo Xuanyu needs a place to stay out of trouble. He doesn’t expect to end up rescuing him, too.

~*~

Making Mouths at Dragons

by athena_crikey

E, 10, Wangxian | Kay's Rec

Summary: Wei Ying takes a slow breath, then another. “Then you’d want… that? A baby? A kid?” Lan Zhan’s low rumble has a hint of dragon in it, a lick of thunder. For a moment Wei Ying can almost hear the rush of the tide in his ears, storms and seafoam. His mind is full of the glint of moonlight on scales, silver and rippling like silk. “With you? Yes.”

~*~

Behind the Scenes

by QueenXIV

E, 5k, NMJ/LWJ | Kay's Rec

Summary: Nie Mingjue felt dirty. Horrible. He had paid to see his best friend's didi fuck himself with a dildo. He had jerked off to it. He had liked it. He was fucked.

~*~

Playing Possum

by DizziDreams (@dizzi-dreams)

T, 1k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec

Summary: Lan Wangji is woken in the night by the sound of animals fighting, and there is more to the opossum he rescues than there seems.

~*~

Once-body

by ByCandlelight

M, 10k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec

Summary: Years after he was disowned by the Jiangs, Wei Ying lives a quiet life working at a funeral home. Then he reencounters his former high school classmate Lan Zhan, who is planning his father’s cremation. Wei Ying won’t pass up the chance to get closer to his former crush, but first he has to hide all the brains in his freezer.

~*~

Lessons in Belonging

by Nyatci (@nyatci)

M, 12, Wangxian | Kay's Rec

Summary: Lan Zhan looks back at various moments during the years and thinks about the emotional wounds caused by Wei Ying’s adoptive family. Or alternatively: 5 times Lan Zhan worried about Wei Ying and 1 time he realized he didn’t have to worry anymore.

~*~

Jin Ling and Demonic Cultivation

by ImNobody122 (@colorsunlikeanythingseen)

Not rated, 8k, Jin Ling | Kay's Rec

Summary: Mo Xuanyu was not the first demonic cultivator Jin Ling had to rescue from his uncle's hands.

~*~

mother of mothers

by SpeedingCheetah

T, 11k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec

Summary:There was a girl in Gusu, who played the flute and sung songs to the fish in the rivers as townspeople let her sit on their boats; stirring away and humming. There was a girl who smiled, who had a blood red ribbon and blood red eyes. The girl was a boy who was not alive. A ghost who stayed in the city because his mother made him promise. He seemed happy enough anyway, coming to the docks, coming to the paths. He bought apples, he spoke Gusu’s dialect in a rustic tongue that was many, many years out of date—ancient, prosperous. Only a few elders understood the clicking accent the way Wuxian spoke it. He was Lan Wangji’s sole companion. He was also the being who had been cursed many years ago to never wake up, and never live. Lan Wangji wished to help fix that. (or: cangse sanren’s child is a ghost of nature, and cursed to sleep forever. a boy still makes friends with the ghost anyway.)

~*~

exit, pursued by fierce corpse

by hauntedotamatone (@hauntotamatone)

Not rated, 4k, WWX & WN | Kay's Rec

Summary: “The Jin clan of Lanling is rich beyond rich,” The second boy whispers, or rather, attempts to whisper. “If we bring them the head of the Yiling Laozu, they’ll have no choice but to reward us!” It’s quite a stupid endeavor, especially for three, unarmed, young masters whose knowledge of combat and heroism likely comes from playhouses alone. - “Wei-gongzi,” Wen Ning whispers, barely louder than the sound of a person breathing and all the more striking when it comes from one who does not. His face is still, the undisturbed waters of a pond, but there is something in his eyes that reminds him of brightness, the shine of a dragonfly skimming the water. - alternatively; wen qionglin, the method actor.

~*~

If I had to keep being separated from you like this (I'd rather die)

by katje

E, 30k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec

Summary: “So, you’re here to become my blood thrall, are you?” Mr. Wei finally turned, and Lan Wangji had to fight to swallow the gasp that tried to escape his throat. He was beautiful. His long, pitch-black hair was pulled into a ponytail that flowed in smooth waves over his shoulder, and he was clad in a red dress shirt that was buttoned only halfway up his chest, exposing his sharp collar bones and a hint of the smooth skin of his torso. He was pale - too pale. And he had the most striking grey eyes Lan Wangji had ever seen. Eyes that immediately betrayed him as a nonhuman. As a cold, powerful, immortal vampire that Lan Wangji was about to sell himself to. OR Lan Wangji enters into a contract to become Wei Wuxian's blood thrall to save his uncle, and finds more than a heartless vampire at the end of the deal.

~*~

fracture fix

by phosphorous

G, 5k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec

Summary: What he did not say: I don’t want to be anywhere in this world where you aren’t. I want to know you inside out. I want to know you forever. I want you to know me inside out and I want you to know me forever too. I am a burden. But I am yours. I want to be yours, for as long as you will have me. “I love you, Lan Zhan,” he had said instead. It had ebbed and flowed in the space over their heads like tides in a river. Eventually, it had settled. Eventually, it had stayed.

~*~

What Dreams May Come

by Admiranda (@ladypfenix)

G, 5k, Ouyang Zichen | Kay's Rec

Summary: Qiu Shiyu is a pragmatic young woman, she knows that the marriage her father wants to arrange will be more for his benefit than hers. But even so, she cannot help hoping that her prospective husband to be just might be someone who can match her romantic side too.

~*~

Mask

by BurningTea (@humanformdragon)

M, 30k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec

Summary: The cultivation world knows that Wei Wuxian is dead. It knows that the Yiling Patriarch has appeared, dangerous and powerful enough for Wen Ruohan to offer an alliance. And a prize. The Wen Sect is happy to agree when the Yiling Patriarch demands one of their hostages, Lan Wangji.

~*~

Letters along a River

by Ilona22

M, 19k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec

Summary: They met at the stairs leading to the Cloud Recesses and when days spent together lead to a tentative friendship, letters lead to more. Meanwhile, trouble grows, quietly creeping along in the realms of politics and the supernatural.

Down The Gutter Here I Go

Two posts in one night! Ha - I was intrigued when I saw Mojo over at @wangxianficrecs talking about @mdzs-mixtape‘s exchange event a while back so I decided to sign up and I had a ton of fun writing for it 😊! This fic was written for Raine (rainewritesfanfics on AO3) who requested the song ‘Crooked Halo’ by Stitched Up Heart. Absolutely impeccable YLLZ!Wei Wuxian vibes, I’m all for it.

[AO3] [Collection] [Masterpost]

-/-

In the frenzy of battle, Lan Wangji watches his love, his zhiji in this life (in any life) succumb to the forces he should never have tried to control. Fighting is always a time of clarity, his senses sharpening and his path laid out clearly for him - dodge, lunge, attack, parry, defend, repeat as often as necessary, in whatever pattern he must to both stay alive and keep others safe. Now, he finds that there’s nothing he can do. There’s nothing he could have ever done to train for watching Wei Ying finally falter and give himself over to resentment. There’s no way he could have ever prepared himself for the sight of Wei Ying, bloodied, broken, cast pale and motionless into the dirt to be surrounded on all sides by cultivators baying for his blood.

He tries to move to his zhiji’s side, attempts to fly to him, to defend him, stand between him and the world until they can figure out how to fix this. There has to be a way to fix this. He can’t lose Wei Ying.

But time seems to have slowed and Lan Wangji along with it, and so he’s forced to watch as Wei Ying dies as violently as the rest of the cultivation world has demanded.

Lan Wangji’s anguished cry is lost in the din of thousands of cultivators celebrating their victory, hundreds more crying out in pain from the injuries sustained fighting Wei Ying’s ghosts and corpses. Ghosts and corpses that have turned on their master in his death, and Lan Wangji forces himself to witness their revenge, if for no other reason than someone in this world should remember it as the horrific tragedy it is, rather than a moment of final triumph. He watches until his vision blurs with exhaustion and tears, until his throat is raw from crying out in the vain hope that Wei Ying isn’t truly gone. He watches until he succumbs to his injuries, and then he welcomes the bliss of senselessness with open arms.

-/-

“Lan Zhan,” Wei Ying calls for him with a smile. “We’re friends, aren’t we? If you come to Yunmeng to visit, I’ll definitely show you all the best things to do in Lotus Pier!”

Wei Ying glows with the afternoon sun. His white robes are near-blinding in the light, but nothing comes close to his radiant smile that never seems to falter. The joy of birdsong has nothing on Wei Ying’s laughter ringing through the trees and off the rocks at whatever look is on Lan Wangji’s face. He doesn’t know how he keeps doing that, making Wei Ying laugh, but he supposes he doesn’t need to know. It’s enough to hear it now, after so long without.

“Aiyah, Lan Zhan, don’t be so stiff!” Wei Ying cries and moves one of his hands through the water as if to splash him, though of course it doesn’t work. “I promise you-” Wei Ying raises one hand to put a three-finger salute to his temple, “I’ll make sure you have a good time! No one can be shown around Lotus Pier by me and not enjoy themselves, just trust me!”

Lan Wangji takes a deep breath in despite the tight ache in his back, holds it, and spends one more long moment committing the sight of this Wei Ying to his memory. The young ones don’t last as long as the echoes of him that reflect his final years, but Lan Wangji treasures every single glimpse of his love equally. He loved him reluctantly, uncertainly when they were both so young and bright. Now that he loves the memory of him with every fiber of his being and without any hint of shame, these reminders of who Wei Ying had once been are as precious as pearls.

“I trust Wei Ying,” he says now, as if to make up for all the times he should have said it while Wei Ying was alive and he couldn’t find the words. Too little too late, but he hopes that these echoes of Wei Ying carry something of his soul in them, enough to hear what he tells him now.

“Ah?” Wei Ying looks utterly floored by that, and then his laugh is bright again, no different from the sunlight and the breeze dancing across Lan Wangji’s bare shoulders there in the seclusion of the Cold Pond. “Lan Zhan!! I knew you’d agree in the end! The moment we’re done with lectures and free to go where we please you have to come with me, alright? You have to stay by my side.”

The request is a knife hooked under his ribs, a shiver of the melody of Wei Ying’s Yunmeng accent turning his words into music that threatens to rip Lan Wangji apart at the seams.

“I will always accompany Wei Ying,” he promises. The words sit sharp and bitter with bile on the back of his tongue. If he had stayed by Wei Ying’s side, he wouldn’t be talking to a ghost. Wei Ying wouldn’t have died, Lan Wangji wouldn’t have to wait for these glimpses of him or search for the lingering evidence of his early influence in their son, now growing well into his position in the Lan Sect.

“Ah Lan Zhan, so serious!” Wei Ying teases with another attempted splash in his direction, his hand passing through the water without disturbing a drop. “Don’t break your promise now that you’ve given it! I know your face is thick, but how could you ever face me again if you didn’t grant me my only wish, Lan Zhan?”

“I would be unable to,” he confesses, because there’s no use in hiding it. Wei Ying disappears all at once like a bursting soap bubble, in front of him one moment and gone on a breath of wind the next, and though Lan Wangji has had to get used to it in the years since Wei Ying’s death, it never gets any easier to suddenly find himself alone again.

“Hanguang-Jun.”

Lan Wangji stills at the door to the Jingshi and takes a moment to breathe. He’s done this before, but as with nearly everything else regarding Wei Ying’s hauntings, if they can be called such, this type of encounter doesn’t get any easier to deal with.

Ceramic meets wood with a sharp clack and Wei Ying swipes the back of his hand across his mouth, rubbing away a few glistening drops from his pale lips. The smell of wine is sharp in the air and Lan Wangji gently slides the door shut - not that many people come this way, but any who might pass by wouldn’t need to see this.

“Hanguang-Jun,” Wei Ying says again as if he’s trying to taste it. “Hanguang-Jun, the savior of the cultivation world! You’ve finally managed to drag me away to Gusu after all.”

Lan Wangji tries and fails to keep his composure as Wei Ying looks up at him from the floor, his eyes red-rimmed and nearly sunken into his skull, the tender skin beneath them so dark it looks bruised. Lan Wangji’s hand clenches around Bichen and his lips tremble with the urge to defend himself, his intentions. But the words don’t come any more easily now than they had when Wei Ying had still lived, and he knows from experience that whatever he says now won’t matter anyway. He steps forward and refuses to let Wei Ying’s sneer deter him from settling down across the table from him.

“Nothing at all to say, Hanguang-Jun?” Wei Ying jeers, pours himself another cup of wine and slops a bit on the table. “You’ve never bothered to hold your tongue before, don’t start now. You’ve got me here anyway, might as well get it all out of your system and tell me yet again that I can’t do a damn thing right.”

Even like this Lan Wangji can’t stop himself from studying every little detail of Wei Ying, no matter how much it hurts him. He can see his ribs through his robes and the too-sharp angles of his collarbones, his body having long ago begun to deteriorate. This Wei Ying with such a bitter attitude, so much anger, all the hatred with which he looks at Lan Wangji, is the version of him that had died right at the end of life as Lan Wangji had known it. Mourning and furious with the world for ripping so many things away from him, this Wei Ying doesn’t have any space in him for forgiveness or laughter; Lan Wangji loves him like this, too, and so he sits up on his knees and takes the wine from Wei Ying’s hand to pour him a fresh cup.

Unlike the weak echoes of his younger self, the versions of him that are like this, fuelled by rage and resentment, are much stronger - it’s a real jar of wine from Lan Wangji’s own stash, and when Wei Ying lifts the cup to knock the contents back in one jerky movement the wine disappears to..somewhere. Wherever Wei Ying is. Lan Wangji still doesn’t understand why or how these ghosts of Wei Ying can’t answer his calls when he plays inquiry, but it doesn’t really matter when he’s at least allowed to have this painful pleasure of seeing him again, as clearly as if he were flesh and bone.

“I said once that I could stand to die if it was you,” Wei Ying says. Lan Wangji pours him more wine with steady hands. “You let me go back then. You’ve always let me go, and look what it’s gotten us.”

Lan Wangji takes a deep breath in around the lump of ice in his chest where his heart should be. It’s meant to beat for Wei Ying, but when Wei Ying himself is so frigid what good would it do? Better to remember that this is where they ended up - cold, distant, with Lan Wangji a failure and his only love hating the sight of him as a reminder of everyone who fought against him.

Lan Wangji pours him the last of the jar of Emperor’s Smile and Wei Ying drinks it as mechanically as he had the rest of it. Lan Wangji watches his throat bob around the mouthful of it, and he stays kneeling, penitent, as Wei Ying stands and steps around the table to loom over him. Wei Ying reaches out to grip his chin and his touch is ice-cold, utterly inhuman. Lan Wangji tips his head back enough to look up at his zhiji, the Yiling Laozu in all his undead glory, and the ice around his heart cracks into painful shards that bury themselves in the tender fluttering of his lungs.

“Stop asking for me,” Wei Ying says, cold as snow. “Don’t look for me. Leave me and the Wens be, stay up here on your miserable mountain, perfect and untouchable as ever. My life doesn’t concern you, Hanguang-Jun. Get lost.”

Lan Wangji allows himself one moment of weakness; he raises one hand from his lap to clutch at the inky black skirts of Wei Ying’s robes in the moment before he disappears, and without his restraining touch Lan Wangji curls forward to try to wrap himself around the gaping hole in his chest, the scars on his back protesting the sudden stretch. He chokes on a sobbing exhale and reminds himself that this is nothing more than what he deserves.

Lan Wangji opens his eyes to find himself kneeling on the floor of Demon Subdue Palace. Wei Ying had laughed when he’d explained his reasoning behind the name; he isn’t laughing now. The Yiling Laozu looms above Lan Wangji, wreathed in shadows and eyes glowing a furious red. His fingers drip blood, long clotting strings of it, black in the uncertain flicker of candlelight.

“Wei Ying,” Lan Wangji attempts to plead, only to choke on something hot and metallic. He bends forward to retch, his pure white robes stained with flecks of red, black dirt on his hands and his knees and blood spattering onto his lap with each wet cough. It takes forever to clear his throat but Lan Wangji finally manages it, looking up as his chest heaves with each desperate inhale to find Wei Ying still towering over him, utterly unmoved.

“Wei Ying,” he tries again, and this time it at least comes out a rough croak. “I’m sorry.”

“Your apologies are so hollow, Hanguang-Jun,” Wei Ying replies, the whisper of a thousand voices distorting his beloved voice into something unrecognizable. “We are dead - what can apologies do for us now?”

Lan Wangji spits out a final blood clot onto the floor and straightens up again only to abruptly find himself flat on his back, wrists and ankles pinned and Wei Ying straddling his chest with a snarl on his blood-red lips. Resentment boils thick in the air around them, the tendrils of it burning him where they brush against his skin. Wei Ying’s hot-slick hands close around his aching throat and Lan Wangji gives himself over to it. There’s something..beautifully obscene about it, an untouchable hero of the cultivation world giving himself over to the worst enemy of it. The world threw Wei Ying away, down into the dirt amongst his dead, and Lan Wangji no longer thinks twice about throwing himself down with him.

“Too little too late, little Lan,” Wei Ying rasps. “We’re nothing but a nightmare now.”

Lan Wangji startles awake with a gasp, his lungs burning and his hand automatically flying to his throat. He can still feel Wei Ying’s bloody hands around him and he chases the memory of the sensation for a long, confused moment before there’s restless shifting in the bed beside him.

“Lan Zhan?” Wei Ying nuzzles into his side. “Y’okay?”

Lan Wangji slows his racing heart with an effort and closes his eyes against the familiar dark domesticity of the Jingshi to attempt to chase away his dream. He lays down again without answering, bundling Wei Ying to his chest with too much strength, but his husband doesn’t complain.

Wei Ying hasn’t asked about Lan Wangji’s life while he’d been dead (outside of wanting to hear stories of A-Yuan’s childhood). Lan Wangji can only be glad of it; his husband doesn’t deserve the guilt of knowing that Lan Wangji had accepted every painful memory or reminder of him to have something. He doesn’t know that Wei Ying’s first life still haunts his dreams long after the strange, haunted echoes of his first life have faded from Lan Wangji's reality. He doesn’t need to know that should he ever slip into madness again Lan Wangji will happily slip right alongside him rather than lose him again.

Lan Wangji presses a long, firm kiss to Wei Ying’s forehead and falls asleep with a phantom ache in his knees, his throat, a cold stone lodged in his chest. He’ll be fine in the morning; until then, he can hold Wei Ying in his hands and appreciate this second chance to keep him safe.
