Hey y’all really liked my post of fic recs for this fandom. I’ve read more, so I’m back! Still almost entirely Wangxian, mostly canon setting.
First up I gave this fic it’s own post as soon as I read it, but to repeat myself: Grand Pianos Crash Together by @megafaunatic (E, 11K, Complete, Wangxian) - This is my ultimate post-The Untamed/CQL fic. It has such marvelous tension, where both WWX and LWJ want to be together and almost are acknowledging it, but they just…haven’t…quite…kissed…yet… Covers a year of separation from LWJ’s POV and the reunion on the mountain ridge and what happens next.
The (Several) Convenient Kidnappings of the Chief Cultivator by the Yiling Patriarch by MissCam (M, 4K, Oneshot, Wangxian) - Another ending for CQL, this one totally hilarious. Turns out Lan Wangji is too virtuous to be Chief Cultivator, so no one really minds when the Yiling Patriarch keeps kidnapping him for extended periods of time. Ultimately very sweet as well.
A Day in Yunmeng by suspiciouspopsicle (aka the Breaking Through series) (E, 13K/35K, 3 stories complete, Wangxian) - This rec is really for the series as a whole. The first fic is rather hot and memorable, but it’s the arc of this canon divergent series as a whole that I really like. It’s Yiling Patriarch/Lan Wangji starting from the scene with WWX’s undead handmaidens, which turns dark and sexy. It’s a pretty dark and angsty take on this pair with lots of power games and WWX being pretty darn broken and LWJ just trying to reach him, but ultimately the two of them finding a way out of it. May make you cry. (Also, note bottom!LWJ)
Bind Me, Heal Me, Break Me by gotcocomilk (E, 11K, Complete, Wangxian) - Lan Wangji visits the Burial Mounds and stays. Yiling Patriarch!Wei Wuxian is very unstable and self-hating in this one, but LWJ slowly gives him back his warmth and life. Featuring lots of bottom!LWJ sex and resentful energy tentacles, and some very lovely language. Really brittle and bitter and yet beautiful. Healing through smut, one of my favorite things.
and so my heart beats wildly by @omgkatsudonplease (E, 106K, Complete, Wangxian) - I hadn’t read this yet when I made my last recs post but I have finally. It’s Modern AU with cultivation, in which cultivation is a sport played in Hunger Games-like arenas. Since both the author and I came from YOI fandom, the similarities of cultivation as a sport with figure skating are appreciated. In fact, this feels a bit like a Yuri on Ice AU of MDZS. Nicely done with WWX and LWJ as public rivals but maybe private friends…maybe more. While being watched by a rabid fanbase including shippers. Great plot, also. And So Much Figure Skating Snark.
Words Fall Like Rain by marginalia (M, 1K, Oneshot, Wangxian) - WWX makes LWJ use his words to say what he wants in bed. I just really like this and think it’s lovely.
it’s your soul by syriala (M, 3K, Oneshot, Wangxian) - Wangxian had a sexual relationship prior to WWX’s death but WWX doesn’t think LWJ returns his feelings. He’s also self-conscious because he doesn’t have the same body that LWJ used to enjoy so much. Somewhat heavy on the angst and pining, but a happy ending. I’d been thinking about WWX’s insecurity aboiut his new body before reading this and it really did it well.
It’s Only Time by etymologyplayground (T, 8K, Complete, Wangxian) - Set post-CQL and consisting mostly of letters written back and forth between WWX and LWJ. I didn’t know how much I needed pining love letters written by these two until I started this fic. This is one of those fics that will make you nearly DIE with the beautiful longing and gradual confessions. Amazing, wonderful, genius, etc. Plus the reunion. Run, don’t walk to read this one.
yeah it’s true (that I fell for you) by @thirtysixsavefiles (M, 8K, Oneshit, Lan Xichen/Nie Mingjue) OMG it’s a different pairing! It’s also modern AU. Look I want LXC to have a happy ending and I love this ship but it’s not a happy one in canon. But this..WWX makes an online dating profile for LXC who is convinced he’s being catfished when NMJ from his company starts texting him. But playing along turns into genuine connection and sexy messages and…it’s funny and sweet and hot.
let’s you and me go for a ride by @dreaming-fireflies (T, 21K, Complete, Wangxian) - Another author from YOI fandom who is now writing MDZS. Modern AU in which WWX and JC are motoGP racers and the Lans are wealthy sponsor of their team. Sweet falling in love, with fairly dramatic plot that is well-translated to the new setting. I really like all the character details and quietly sweet moments.
Bonus:
Reference for Modao Zushi Writers: Chinese Terms by chaoticjoy - Prompted by a post I made, this lovely person has collected a bunch of terms for fanfic writers to use. So incredibly useful if you, like myself, like using pinyin terms instead of awkward translations.
As before, feel free to add your own recs. (Especially for me any LXC gets a happy ending fics, I’m not picky about the ship but I’m starting to crave it.)
Overlooked scene in Crooked Kingdom.
As they sped across the bridge, Jesper thought he spotted Matthias and Wylan in their red capes, tossing coins as they steadily made their way off the Stave. If they started running, it might draw stadwatch attention. Jesper struggled not to laugh. That was definitely Matthias and Wylan. Matthias was hurling the money with way too much force and Wylan with way too much enthusiasm. The kid’s throwing arm needed serious work. He looked like he was actively trying to dislocate his shoulder.

any room can be a panic room if you just give me a fucking second
I just read Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas and if you think for a second that Julian Diaz and Ronan Lynch wouldn’t get on like a wildfire you’re incorrect imagine the chaotic energy of those two together oh my god Julian would have Ronan dream him impossible things and I can just imagine Yadriel and Adam bonding like oh you fell for the idiot with the shaved head too? And then don’t get me started on Blue and Maritza they’d be perfect friends I love the idea of them hanging out and Yadriel Maritza and Julian can all see ghosts so they could all see Noah!! The perfect friend group

what about some keener where they’ve been dating for a while and harley discovers peter has major feminization+praise+degradation+choking kinks so he uses it to like...his full advantage?? btw you are so great like 💙💙 bih you great... (how could you even have a degradation AND praise kink tho lol)
(TW: degradation, feminization, minor choking, minor d/s elements)
I love this and I love you and you’re fucking great 💖 (and also, thank you for being so patient as my disaster ass works slowly through my inbox.) I am here to tell you that you can definitely have both a degradation and praise kink, and it’s hecking awesome ;) The two totally amplify one another. Imagine: Just being utterly put down and degraded. Feeling humiliated, verging on the brink of tears, and so, so on edge. It’s borderline too much. And then, Daddy turns it right the fuck around – runs a soft hand through your hair and strokes your cheek, and murmurs, ‘good job, sweetheart.’ BOOM. REST IN PIECES.
But allow me to illustrate further:
It’s subtle in the beginning, but Harley’s smart, if anything. Peter can only blush so many times at the occasional light-hearted teasing – at being called ‘Princess’ and ‘girly’ and all the other gently mocking names Harley can’t help but occasionally drop. Harley notices how, when he treats Peter a certain way, the boy gets just that much more desperate, that much whinier and glazed in the eyes, that much more frantic in his movements as he tries to fuck down on Harley’s cock. He notices how Peter’s pulse quickens, how he cums harder when Harley has his hands close to Peter’s throat.
And, Harley notes how Peter lights up when he’s gifted with kind words. Poor boy loves both extremes.
(Luckily, Harley knows just what to do with that knowledge.)

Imagine that you're holding the hand of the person you love. Imagine that they're there. Imagine how great that feels. Imagine their smile, their eyes, their nose, their moles and imperfections. Imagine that they're smiling at you when you wake up in the morning after a bad week, and how it feels to see their smile, how precious it is. Imagine going to the grocery store and giggling like high school girls because of an inside joke. Imagine how the sun reflects on their skin. Imagine how deep their eyes are when you look straight into them. Imagine how warm cuddles are. Imagine your future. Imagine the way they smile at you changes, getting more lovely every single day. Feels good, does it? Imagine you're holding the hand of the person you love. Imagine that, that hand you're holding is gone. Imagine that your future is gone. Imagine that there is no sun that reflects on their skin. Imagine that there is no person beside you at night when you had a bad week. Imagine that you're there alone and dead because their gone, and you can't do anything about it.
