MDZS/Untamed fic rec post

The theme is: less than 500 kudos! For the express reason that I had a couple dozen to rec, and this cutoff leads to a nice round 10 recs of presumably less widespread knowledge.

This is also my first real post on tumblr, so please let me know if I’ve gone against fandom etiquette or messed up somehow! 

hear my voice and it’s been here by @souridealist​ [56k words, E]

Jiang Yanli POV, and not an easy story. This is the fifth part of a series, and the one I loved the most; the others tell the story from other POVs. It can be read first. There had been two months between part 4 and 5, and I think not remembering the details of what happened in the previous parts immersed me in the limited view that JYL has in a more engaging way.

the final cut by @wildehacked​ [20k words, E]

This explores Nie Huaisang’s use of Mo Xuanyu, and is as dark as you’d expect from such a subject. Huaisang is complicated and so, so determined.

Call and Response by x_los [9k words, M]

The Lan brothers play Inquiry for Madam Lan, and what is revealed is, of course, tragic. There is one line, that Xichen thinks about Wangji, that punched me in the gut and made me gasp out loud. It’s not my headcanon, but it makes a seriously convincing argument on the backstory and relationship between the brothers.

The Same Cloth by x_los [8k words, T]

Lan Wangji reluctantly brings Wei Wuxian to see a merchant family. I love backstory and worldbuilding and this had both in spades. The descriptions of the textiles were amazing and so immersive. This one is much less dark than Call and Response; they are in the same series but not necessarily related.

A House on Fire by nirejseki / @robininthelabyrinth​ [10k words, G]

Jiang Cheng and Jin Guangyao raise Jin Ling. It sometimes goes smoothly and sometimes... not so much. It’s quite episodic in the scenes described, which makes it move along very quickly. Each scene is a perfect gem of an interaction.

Warm in the Sun by 50artists / @xenixat​ [29k words, M]

Fix-it Jiang Yanli/Wen Qing. IMO this fic’s strength is the Yanli characterization: she’s strong and determined.

Rule 3001: Do Not Blink by EHyde / @fallenwithstyle​ [4k words, G]

It’s a Doctor Who fusion, which may seem absurd, but is executed so well. It’s from the Juniors’ perspective, as they investigate a mysterious statue. The perfect length to get a taste for the world in the fusion.

Sprout by EHyde / @fallenwithstyle​ [6k words, G]

Crack taken seriously is one of my absolute favorites, and this is such a fun one. Jingyi is a plant, and Jin Ling discovers this secret. Wen Ning’s final line in this fic is absolute GOLD. 

I Don’t Get Paid Enough For This (But I’d Still Do It Anyway) by Quixiote [25k words, T]

This is technically a WIP, but I loved what was there. Someone made the joke that the Untamed could be a shonen anime from Jin Ling’s perspective... but what if it was a shojo instead! It’s a Cardcaptor Sakura fusion, and it fits so well. Fairy makes for an excellent Keroberos. Sizhui and Jingyi as Shaoran and Meiling! So good. So perfect.

something wrong with this (you know it) by myliobatis

Truly the fact that only ONE woman doesn’t get fridged is absurd, and Mianmian is rightly angry about it.

Robert Frank

Frank’s work exposed the American reality from the prospective of an outsider. His photography discussed many mid-century realties in a way most people from thee US never considered before. He’s also most well known for his book ‘The Americans’.

Thomas Heaton holds a close second in my opinion.  He is able to capture stunning settings that never fail to hold amazing compositions.  Everything from his close-ups for what you see here is fantastic in every frame of setting.  Just like Ansel Adams, I cannot recommend Heaton’s work enough.

Inattention

link to AO3 AUTHOR: 50artists (@xenixat) T, 4646 words, 1/1

RELATIONSHIPS: Lan Wangji / Wei Wuxian BLURB: soulmates AU, mark of first words said after falling in love (restricted on AO3)

SUMMARY:

Wei WuXian froze, his heart thudding in his chest. This couldn't be true. He would definitely remember someone saying his words. Definitely. Well, almost certainly. Maybe.

Or: A mark on your wrist tells you the first words your soulmate will say after falling in love with you. WWX stays oblivious regardless.

alternate universe - soulmates, misunderstandings, how are they this bad at communicating??

Claymore fics

I previously linked to some Claymore fanarts I liked. Let’s do some fics from Ao3 this time!

Too Damn Cold by branewurms – Deneve/Helen, rated Teen and Up Audiences

Deneve sighed, long-suffering.  "We don't feel cold," she said patiently.  "Or had you forgotten?  Go back to your own bed, there's no room to breathe here."

Barricade by shelter – Deneve/Helen, rated Teen and Up

Post-series. Who do you save when the world ends?

Like Purity Against Resolve by SilverDagger – Clare/Jean, rated Mature

These moments always feel breakable to her, just this side of unreal.

Spider Web by 50artists – Clare/Jean, rated Explicit (for horror)

It often felt like Clare’s head was empty, nowadays. Like she’d traded away all her thoughts along with her flesh.

Fineshrine by Goatalicious – Clare/Ophelia, rated Explicit

Ophelia looked up at Clare from beneath long blonde lashes, left hand extended towards her. "Won't you help me out?"

Don’t be cautious, Don’t be kind by Goatalicious – Cassandra/Roxanne, rated Explicit

Roxxanne and Cassandra have a moment alone in the forest.
