Now it's just too late to turn around by kokozy

Now it's just too late to turn around
by kokozy
G, 1k, Wangxian
Summary: Cloud Recesses had never truly felt like home to him; Lan Yuan's home was wherever Hanguang-Jun was and sadly, Cloud Recesses was not Hanguang-Jun's home either. Kay's comments: I may be biased, because this work was written for me and is a remix of my own story Justice, but, I really enjoyed this one! This is based on the idea that Lan Wangji was supossed to die from his punishment, but lived, and now the Lan Sect has to deal with it and it makes them bitter and also showcases their own hypocrizy. This story is from Sizhui's POV and tells the story of how he grew up in the Lan Sect and how he realized that something was very off, but the puzzle pieces only started connecting when Mo Xuanyu turned up. I loved this focus on Sizhui and the general vibes, it's really sad with a happy ending done right. Excerpt: Out of all of them, Zewu-Jun was the strangest. From the stories he had heard, the Twin Jades of Lan had once been inseparable, two identical drops of water, yet Sizhui had never seen them interact any more intimately than he would do with any of his peers. It was like there was a barrier between them, not allowing them to act like the brothers they were supposed to be. Zewu-Jun questioned Mo Xuanyu’s presence in the Cloud Recesses the hardest yet he had not openly opposed it. The Lan Seniors had all been too eager to let Hanguang-Jun take care of the demonic arm case, taking Mo Xuanyu with him if that meant not having any of them anywhere near Gusu for the time it took to figure out the whole demonic arm ordeal. As Hanguang-Jun wasn’t present in the Cloud Recesses, the whispers became normal conversation instead. Rumours of the return of the Yiling Laozu arose; someone had controlled the Ghost General that day with the Dancing Goddess, and someone had used the Yin Tiger Tally on the demonic arm somehow. As Hanguang-Jun left, Lan Sizhui could experience for the first time just how deep the whole thing really went. Voices and pointing fingers became the norm. Hanguang-Jun should have died, they said.

T, 1k, Wangxian
Summary: “Lan Zhan, you’re okay?” No, I am about to die, “Mn. I am… alright.” “You came here to punish me?” Wei Ying asks with an amused glint in his grey eyes. Lan Wangji pushes away every improper thought those words form in his, apparently, dirty mind. Ever since Wei Wuxian showed him that book, things have become… pretty distressing. Kay's comments: So cute!!! Just Wangxian being allowed to be awkward and soft teenagers, who are in love!! In this story, teen Lan Wangji gathers his courage and confesses to Wei Wuxian and he's very successful! No angst, only fluff! Excerpt: “Wait, wait! Lan Zhan, where are you going? You can’t just—“ he breaks off, evidently nervous. There’s a bright red blush spreading on his lovely cheeks. Lan Wangji does not know what to make of it. “You can’t just leave like that, Lan Zhan. Not when… Aagh, fuck, my heart. Hold on, I need a minute.” Lan Wangji panics, “Wei Ying, are you feeling well?” Wei Wuxian shakes his hand in the air, dismissing Lan Wangji’s worries, “Y-yeah, well,” he swallows. “I’m just pretty overwhelmed that’s all and like, my heart is about to beat out of my chest, and you know, I’m flustered down to my toes. Lan Zhan, you should warn me before you say things like that my poor heart, oh my God.”

Paper Dolls and Butterflies by EHyde

Paper Dolls and Butterflies
by EHyde (@ehyde)
G, <1k, Wei Wuxian & Wen Yuan
Summary: While Wei Wuxian is testing a spell, A-Yuan finds a silly paper doll to play with. Kay's comments: Just a cute little story that offers some slice-of-life content for the time Wei Wuxian was living in the Burial Mounds with the Wens. The focus is on his relationship with A-Yuan and the story is from A-Yuan's POV as well and it's just very cute, no angst just fluff. If you ignore that A-Yuan is stumbling over bones while playing. Excerpt: “Chasing butterflies?” Qing-gugu asks. “No!” The paper doll isn't a butterfly. “Oh!” he realizes. “I bet it wants to play with A-Yuan's butterflies!” The paper doll circles around Qing-gugu's head and hovers in front of her face. “Wei Wuxian,” she says. “Xian-gege is, Xian-gege's asleep!” “Asleep, hm?” “Really asleep! I jumped and jumped on top of him and he didn't wake up!” The paper doll nods in agreement, and Qing-gugu laughs. Laughing is right! Jumping on Xian-gege is really fun!

Hello! I would like to recommend this amazing fanfic.
This work is amazing (like everything I've read from AvoOwO), it's set in the Cloud Recess arc, Wei Wuxian appears passed out on the grass of the backfields and at first everyone assumes that he got really drunk but after they check him out it turns out someone drugged him. Do read the warnings at the beginning of the fic please. I would honestly recommend everyone to read the whole series this one-shot is part of, it's amazing (♡°▽°♡) @menimimimeni
obscura: ink stain

M, 20k, Wangxian
Summary: It is cold and wet when he and Xiongzhang find Wei Ying, asleep and smelling of alcohol along the grounds of Cloud Recesses. There's dew on his cheeks, his eyelashes. In his hair. He's made an indentation within the grass. After finding Wei Ying within the grass of the back hills, Lan Wangji wonders. And worries. And feels. Wei Ying, meanwhile, begins to remember. In bits and pieces. Jagged and sharp.

💙 These Mortal Treasures by ChilianXianzi
Tumblr media
These Mortal Treasures
by ChilianXianzi
T, 9k, Wangxian
Summary: "Is that something that Wei Ying would like?" Lan Wangji asks softly, carefully, "To be kept?" There's that fleeting, lost look in Wei Ying's eyes once more, and Lan Wangji thinks it's unacceptable - That Wei Ying had not felt welcomed in his own home, so much so that he decided to wander the world away from it. So much so that he is afraid that he would be unwelcome as well elsewhere. Lan Wangji barely stops himself from hissing, from letting the steam of his icy breath escape in the close air between them. He only vaguely remembers the Jiangs, a young Cultivation Clan barely a century old, but his disdain towards them feels ancient now in the wake of all this. How foolish of them, to simply let go of someone so bright, someone so unfailingly kind and giving. How convenient, for Lan Wangji's own gain. Kay's comments: I adore this story. The excerpt that's in the summary already encapsulates perfectly what I adore so much about it, Lan Wangji's and Wei Wuxian's relationship in this one is *chef's kiss*. Dragon Lan Wangji watching mortal Wei Wuxian and making sure he feels safe and happy in his home and that he wants to become part of his hoard, being absolutely enraged at the thought that anyone hadn't treated Wei Wuxian as the treasure he is in the past and of course, egg!Yuan!! And eggnancy!! Love that for them and love Lan Wangji tearing the Jins a new one as well.

watch the slow door
by Lirelyn (@ginnymoonbeam)
T, 2k, Wangxian
Summary: Lan Wangji woke shuddering. There was a hand on his shoulder, a face bent over his. It took him several moments to understand where he was, to know that the face was Mo Xuanyu’s. “Hey,” said Mo Xuanyu. “You — I think you were having a bad dream.” Lan Wangji closed his eyes, shuddering again. His cheeks were wet. His chest ached. It had been years since he’d had one of these dreams, and he’d always been alone. To be seen like this was unbearable. Kay's comments: This was absolutely heart-breaking and I loved it. The mortifying ordeal of Lan Wangji not immediately recognizing Wei Wuxian, but also sort of realizing that something is up with Mo Xuanyu and thus lashing out again to protect his heart. The angst hit really good in this one and made the reveal even better. Bonus points for Wangxian getting together immediately after the reveal. There's also a podfic of this story available. Excerpt:The next day he felt brittle, the way he hadn’t since he was a teenager: the feeling that the wrong move or the wrong touch could shatter his skin, letting light fall on soft, rotten things. To imagine that he could be treating Wei Ying as a stranger was horrifying. To imagine that he could be thinking of a stranger as Wei Ying was nauseating. It was intolerable whatever the truth was, and somehow he was still required to move through his morning in an ordinary way. He encased himself in icy composure. He walked beside the youngest of the disciples, who were too much in awe of him to see anything amiss. He tried, and failed, not to look at Mo Xuanyu. When he failed, half the time Mo Xuanyu was already looking at him. Lan Wangji wanted to drive him away, to shun him, to never see him again. He wanted to take him by the shoulders and shake him and ask Who are you? until he was given an answer he believed.

violent delights
by justdoityoufucker (orphan_account)
T, 4k, Wangxian
Summary: Wen Qing is fairly confident in her own skills. She knows the theory—wrote the theory—and has performed many surgeries before, has worked with broken cores and devoted her life to the study of it. But there’s something different about this. - Or, the one where the Golden Core transfer goes...sideways. Kay's comments: This story explores an idea that I find super interesting, what if the Golden Core Transfer just didn't work? The odds weren't in their favour after all and here it just doesn't work, Wei Wuxian's core says nope and returns to Wei Wuxian, no matter what Wen Qing attempts. It changes things and for the better, at least for Wei Wuxian and the Wens and I love that and love their relationship especially. You know I'm so weak for Wei-Wen found family vibes. Ah, and now I'm sad again that justdoityoufucker left the fandom. I adore their fics so much. Excerpt: Except, a half shichen later, it disappears. It disappears. The core disappears out of Jiang Wanyin’s body. It’s an instantaneous happening—one second it’s there, channeling the remnants of Jiang Wanyin’s spiritual energy along with Wei Wuxian’s, and then there’s an abrupt, gaping emptiness that is familiar only because it’s how his dantian felt before the transfer. “J-jie?” a-Ning asks at the same moment that Wei Wuxian makes a rough noise of abject confusion, an emotion that is mirrored on her didi’s face. “What’s h-happening?” She forces some of her spiritual energy to remain in Jiang Wanyin’s meridians, cycling to ensure nothing goes wrong, and rushes over to Wei Wuxian, who has suddenly regained some color in his face. It’s hard to focus on splitting her energy, cycling it in two other bodies, but immediately she can tell what’s wrong. Wei Wuxian’s golden core is back in Wei Wuxian, like she never took it out. His meridians are perfectly reconnected, spiritual energy cycling as if it had never been stripped out.

💙 The Intervening Years by rosemu

💙 The Intervening Years
by rosemu (@roserocksrapidly)
G, 11k, Lan Sizhui & Wangxian
Summary: Wen Yuan grows up into Lan Sizhui and Xian-gege is there for every step of the way. Kay's comments: Writing this rec with literal tears in my eyes. It was really, really good, but it also pulls a mean punch. In this story, Lan Sizhui keeps his memories of his time in the Burial Mounds, which is already gut-wrenching enough, but he also grows up with his Xian-gege, who lives in the Gentian House and isn't well-liked by the Lan Clan, but always looks after his little radish. I don't want to say too much, but prepare for major sads. Really loved the way Sizhui connected with Jingyi in this story. Excerpt: After his lessons, Zewu-jun walks Lan Yuan to the Jingshi. This is his absolute favorite time of the day. Some days, Father is able to sit up and some he is completely bed-bound, but he always listens attentively as Lan Yuan excitedly tells him about his day. If he ever thinks Father’s reactions are subdued, Xian-gege is always there to balance him out with large grins and teasing remarks. On really good days, sometimes they even go out back behind the Jingshi and play with the rabbits. Father piles bunnies on top of him and Xian-gege laughs and laughs, saying “Lan Zhan, you’re just as bad as me, burying our little radish like this!” Father just smiles and adds another rabbit to the pile. Those are Lan Yuan’s favorite days. Eventually, Lan Yuan has to leave and go back to the loneliness of the disciples’ quarters once again. Father hugs him gently and Xian-gege kisses him on the head in goodbye. Then, Lan Yuan goes to sleep and wakes up the next day to do it all over again.

Vinegar Dreams by chiyukimei

Vinegar Dreams
by chiyukimei (@chiyukimei)
E, 4k, Wei Wuxian/Wen Qing
Summary: Everything had started when Wei Wuxian and Wen Ning returned from Jin Ling’s one month celebration with their heads low. Few months after their close-off from the cultivation world, here laid Wen Qing with Wei Wuxian naked laying on top of her, sleeping peacefully on her shoulder’s crook. How did they reach this point was a whole another story. Kay's comments: Something a little (a lot) different from my usual recs, since I am a Wangxian-shipper 99% of the time, but sometimes... Sometimes... I crave Wei Wuxian/Wen Qing too, especially that good Burial Mounds found family flavour. Here they get together after they found the Yiling Wei Sect and it's really sweet, especially the found family vibes of it all, but also, the smell of vinegar is strong. I tagged ambiguous/open ending because the author couldn't bring themselves to completely go against Wangxian and that was neat too :D Excerpt: Seeing Wei Wuxian’s shocked face, she said, “When you said family, I thought, I thought…I…Wei Wuxian…let’s forget it if you don’t…let’s forget it!” Wen Qing was a proud woman ever since the beginning. It wasn’t a normal thing for her to stammer, let alone have that mad expression. If she looked and spoke like that then she should’ve loved for real. If she loved someone, then that meant she trusted that person with her entire being and she would do anything to protect them. Wen Qing began to leave, then suddenly Wei Wuxian grabbed her arm. “I wasn’t joking.” He said. Wen Qing, “…What…?” “I wasn’t joking when I said we’ve started a family. Even if I did, don’t you know every joke has a bit of truth in it?”

G, 2k, Songxiao
Summary: In the aftermath of Wen Ruohan’s trial, Song Lan put in a request for a two-month leave from work and took Xiao Xingchen down to Chongqing for the summer. “I’m still recovering,” he said, when Xingchen made worried noises about Song Lan having been away from the office for a total of four months out of that year. “Don’t worry, Xingchen. What with the trials still going on, I’ll be surprised if Wangji makes it back to Tianyun before Christmas.” So they packed their bags and went to Chongqing, armed with a list of things to do and see while they were there. Or: Song Lan, Xiao Xingchen, and an impromptu honeymoon.

Why Not Me? by Eleanor_Fenyx

Why Not Me?
by Eleanor_Fenyx (@eleanorfenyx)
G, 26k, Lan Jingyi
Summary: Lan Jingyi knows that he's a Lan by blood. He wears the Lan family headband, with its special embroidery and everything. He's a disciple like everyone else, even though he's not so good at sitting through his classes, and he's racked up more punishments than anyone else in his age group twice over already. He's trying, so why is it none of his family want to raise him? Maybe they don't know he's here, in the children's home. Maybe they just need to learn who he is and they'll take in their orphaned cousin with open arms. If he could only learn to behave and earn their approval then he'd be set with a new family to take over for the parents he doesn't really remember, but why is behaving so hard?! Mojo's comments: Oh, I LOVE me some lonely, unloved Jingyi stories, and this one delivers. I think I might have cried for the whole first chapter, because poor misfit BABY! He's just so full of feelings that he splits at the seams and they all come jumbled and spilling out. But that's good, because it turns out there are people who will actually LISTEN to him. And then it turns out that there are people who will love him, too.

Hi, I love your blog and have found so many gems through it! Thanks so much for the good work!
May I request you to rec a work of mine through the "Proud Authors Spotlight"? This is a sex-cursed WangXian fic written for the Close Quarters Exchange, in which WWX hides from the cultivation conference in the Jinlintai library after getting a sex curse, where he runs into LWJ. There's a bit of dubcon due to the sex curse, but it all turns out well for WangXian. Less smut, much angst and pining, and a canon-divergence with a happy ending. Thanks so much in advance!
Bearing that jasmine-scented night unfading in my heart

M, 22k, Wangxian
Part of the Close Quarters Exchange
Summary: Take her, whispers the amulet. The curse whips through him then, and he bites off a whimper before it can form. Take her, it sings through his blood. Look at her, she’s practically inviting you to take her, with her wide eyes and soft lips and softer body. Think of how blissful it will be to let go of this strain and sink into her softness like a sharp tooth into the supple, unbroken flesh of a grape. Wei Wuxian will die rather than give in to the curse. But before that, he’ll use what remains of his mind to do what he does best — research this curse and find a way to break it. As luck would have it, he’s stumbled into the one room in Jinlintai that nobody is likely to enter tonight — the library.

💙 Caught in 4k by KizuKatana
Tumblr media
🔒💙 Caught in 4k
by KizuKatana (@kizukatana)
E, Series, WIP, 184k, Wangxian
Summary: A night-hunt goes wrong, and Wei Wuxian is scapegoated for the death of the Jiang Sect Leader and the destroyed core of the Jiang Sect Heir. As punishment, his core is taken and given to Jiang Cheng, and he is stripped of his cultivation credentials and expelled from the sect. What everyone forgot was that Wei Wuxian was wearing the standard issue body camera that each cultivator wore on training missions and high-risk night-hunts. Struggling to make ends meet, Wei Wuxian finds his way to Caiyi Town with the doctor who performed the surgery, a partial core still secretly in place. His application to work at Cloud Recesses is summarily rejected by the hard-edged Second Jade of Lan after an unfortunate initial encounter. But things change when someone hacks into the Jiang systems and releases the footage of what happened. Kay's comments: The series is still a WIP, but the main story is complete! I am so weak for Kizu's modern AUs with cultivation, they are great. Especially the world building and how the cultivation society might function in a modern AU shines in this story. Definitely not a story for fans of the Jiang family, but a story for everyone who wants to see some retribution for the things Wei Wuxian went through. Here, Jiang Fengmian dies during a night-hunt accident where Jiang Cheng's golden core gets destroyed and Madam Yu makes Wei Wuxian give his golden core to him, unfortunately for her, his body-cam is still filming everything. Wei Wuxian finds himself taken in by Wen Qing and her family and we get the sweetest found family and Dadxian vibes here and then meets Lan Wangji as well, who's highly judgemental at first but soon finds himself drawn to Wei Wuxian as well. This story really got it all, the drama, the horny, the softness, the restitution & humor. Excerpt: Still Wei Wuxian forced himself to at least try one last time. “You could also interview me. Have me talk to your best talisman experts,” Wei Wuxian said, forcing himself to keep the desperation out of his voice. “Interviews are scheduled based on receipt of proper credentials and references.” “I don’t have any, at least not right now. But that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t be a great teacher.” “No references, no interview.” “Come on. Look, ask me anything about talismans. You’re an experienced cultivator, right? So you must know enough to at least interview me to see if I know what I’m talking about.” “Simply ‘knowing about something’ is not sufficient. Our lecturers are renown cultivators, and masters in their fields. No references, no interview.” Wei Wuxian felt frustration well up in him, especially at the reminder that Lan Wangji didn’t see him as a cultivator. No one would, in his current condition. Why would they? He didn’t have a functional core, which was the main scale against which all cultivation efforts were measured. He thought he had done a good job of not getting his hopes up about the teaching position, but the suffocating feeling constricting his chest was calling him out for being a liar. He should have known better. Why did he never learn? Some people had luck on their said, but Wei Wuxian had never been one of them. “Right. Of course. Because it would be impossible for someone who wasn’t born to the fucking clan nobility to ever actually be good at something, and the cost of taking the mastery test makes sure that other people can’t do it!” Lan Wangji’s lips parted slightly, like he might say something, but his expression was as opaque and emotionless as before. Wei Wuxian didn’t need to sit around and listen to him defend the clan system. “Good to know that the Lan are just the same as all the other sects,” Wei Wuxian continued, his lips twisting into a sarcastic smile. “Thanks for making that clear.”

Hiiii! I've just read a great story I'd like to recommend for your blog!My favorite kind of story with Misunderstandings and Angst with a happy ending. Hahahhh. In this one everyone believes WWX died in an accident and it really impacted LWJ's mental health. When WWX came back, LWJ decided to hide it from him as well as he could. And of course WWX made an assumption that LWJ is just tired of him and is avoiding him. Anyway, I'm really bad at it hahahh. But the story is definitely worth reading!!! @reluctantways
