#ALSO 'oh they're not married' played for serious drama annoys me but it's fine here it's joaks

I have been reminded I have yet to do this - recs from my readings last week

small mercies by mellowflicker

wwx stays postcanon and takes care of lwj during his tenure as cc. the intimacy is mostly unspoken but nice and very physical. no big get-togethers or confessions are needed, because they simply know. the sex scenes are rough and a little undernegotiated but honestly really well done. a nice read overall I liked it

underneath a starless sky, the wind blows towards the future by ilip13

a dystopian modern urban fantasy take on the yiling laozu. lwj approaches wwx-as-yllz for aid as the gusu lan sect needs more and more help in fending off the tide of resentful energy. matters in the city progress, their relationship develops, and things come to a head. a bit corny, and a significant decision lwj makes at the end is quite ooc and thematically inappropriate, but I enjoyed the worldbuilding and the drama in the relationship development. a solid B+ *note that this author has written rape fantasy and cnc so be safe*

Forget Me Not by Vamillepudding

not a new fic, this was published ages ago. almost purely comedic, this one, which is good because amnesia when played for angst either stresses me out or annoys me. postcanon wwx and lwj lose their memories from different parts of their lives and are told by other characters they've gotten married when in fact they haven't actualy gotten together yet. but it's completely okay. some other characters have to babysit them and it's kind of charming to see how they interact also. when I first read this many months ago I thought it wasn't worth reccing but I've come around on it. it's sweet, they make out a lot. and pretty funny too
