The air was heavy around them. Suddenly there was a bright flash and a loud clap of thunder. Xiao Xingchen gasped in surprise beside him as Xue Yang felt a large droplet of water hit his cheek and trickle down. He looked up, only now noticing the dark clouds scudding across the night sky. Raindrops began to play a tinny tune on the stones around them, random notes here and there that began to blend as the patter of rain increased.

(...) Xue Yang wasn’t sure when Xiao Xingchen’s hand had slid down from his forearm to his hand, but as they stumbled their way through the town and he guided Xiao Xingchen through the maze of coffins in their courtyard, he became aware that their fingers had slid together and they were gripping each other so tightly his fingers were becoming numb.

He didn’t quite know what to make of it, but also didn’t want to let go or draw Xiao Xingchen’s attention to it, so he kept holding on tightly as he stepped over the high threshold into the house. He immediately turned and placed his left hand gently but firmly against Xiao Xingchen’s chest to slow him down...

THIS is an excerpt from The taste of rain on skin, by @fieri-sentio-et-excrucior and with the incredible art by @wrathyforest, two amazing and talented artists whose work I recommend you all to check!!

I'm honoured to know such wonderful people and I wish nothing but the best to all of you. Keep writing, keep drawing, keep creating things that make me happy please! >w<

One afternoon while Wei Ying is preparing dinner, A-Yuan looks up from his toy trucks and asks, “Baba, how comes lots of people in my class have a mom, but I don’t?”

Wei Ying’s hands falter at the chopping board. “Every family is different,” he explains carefully. “One mom, two moms, one dad, two dads. There’s loads of options.”

“But who decides?”

“What do you mean, baobei?” Wei Ying asks.

A-Yuan looks at him like he’s being silly. “Who decides who gets one baba, or two babas, or ten babas?”

Wei Ying laughs. He’s relieved A-Yuan only seems curious and isn’t upset. “Well, grown ups usually decide if they want a husband or a wife. And then they have baby radishes together.” He gives A-Yuan’s nose a gentle poke, making the boy giggle. “But some people like me decide to do it alone.” His explanation is probably not the best, but A-Yuan’s questions have admittedly taken him by surprise.

“So grown ups can have a husband or a wife…” A-Yuan holds up two sticky fingers to demonstrate. “And Baba still doesn’t have anyone?”

“I—” Wei Ying is gobsmacked. He stares at A-Yuan with his mouth agape. A-Yuan looks at him expectantly, like he’s waiting to hear an explanation as to why his Baba is incapable of finding love. Wei Ying quickly turns away and starts plating out their food. “Dinner’s ready.”

“Aunty Yanli said—”

“Eat up, baby.” Wei Ying grins wide and feeds A-Yuan a mouthful of rice, effectively shutting him up. And that’s the end of that.

Or so he thinks.

The next morning on the school playground, A-Yuan escapes from Wei Ying’s hold the second he spots Lan Jingyi, running into his friend’s arms like they’ve been separated for years. They see each other every weekday, and sometimes on the weekends too.

Wei Ying laughs and spots Jingyi’s dad looking similarly amused. The sun is out today and Lan Zhan’s pretty eyes sparkle in the sunlight. He’s utterly breathtaking. Wei Ying's heartbeat still stutters every time they see each other, and they see each other almost every day. It’s humiliating, really.

“Good morning, Wei Ying,” Lan Zhan greets, voice as rich and low as ever.

“Morning, Lan Zhan.” Wei Ying gives him a big, beaming grin. “How was your weekend without us?”

Lan Zhan doesn’t quite smile, but there’s laughter in his eyes. “Messy. Jingyi got into—”

“Mr Lan! Mr Lan!” A-Yuan runs back over and attaches himself to Lan Zhan’s leg like a limpet, creasing up his neatly ironed slacks.

“Yes, A-Yuan?” Lan Zhan’s hand instinctively goes to A-Yuan’s head, patting it like he does his own son’s.

“Baba needs a husband, Mr Lan,” A-Yuan says.

Wei Ying’s blood runs cold, his whole life flashing before his eyes. “A-Yuan, no—!” he splutters, trying to get the boy to stop.

But A-Yuan forges ahead without a care, voice filled with glee. “Can you marry my Baba please, Mr Lan? Then me and Jingyi can be real, actual brothers and be together forever! And then— And then we can all live happily ever after!”

“That’s enough, A-Yuan!” Wei Ying exclaims. His body feels like it’s on fire and he can hear the blood rushing in his ears. He crouches down to be at eye level with A-Yuan, despite the shakiness of his legs. “Remember what we said about thinking before we speak?”

“Ummm… that we should think before we speak?” A-Yuan blinks his innocent doe eyes up at him like he hasn’t just ruined Wei Ying’s life.

“Exactly,” Wei Ying sighs. But he doesn’t have it in him to get upset or annoyed with his son. “It’s time for you to head into class. Your teacher’s waiting for you.” He kisses A-Yuan on the forehead. “Bye bye, radish. Love you.”

“Bye bye, Baba! Love you too!” A-Yuan gives him a fat, slobbery kiss right back and then skips off to his classroom, hand in hand with Jingyi.

Wei Ying grits his teeth and slowly stands back up. Time to face the music. “I’m so sorry, Lan Zhan. I promise I didn’t put him up to it.” He doesn’t quite have the courage to meet Lan Zhan’s eyes. “He’s been asking questions about families and moms and dads and I don’t know, maybe I didn’t explain things properly. I’m so sorry, Lan Zhan.”

“No need to apologise,” Lan Zhan tells him.

“No, but there is!” Wei Ying insists. “Tell me how I can make it up to you?”

When there’s no response, Wei Ying braces himself and hesitantly looks up. Only to find that for some strange, inexplicable reason, Lan Zhan is smiling. “Let me take you out to dinner, Wei Ying.”

“What?!”

“A date,” Lan Zhan explains, like it isn’t clear enough already. “To make it up to me.”

“But Lan Zhan, I— You—” It seems that all Wei Ying is capable of today is sputtering and making a fool of himself.

Lan Zhan steps closer, still with that amused glint in his eyes, and gently brushes away a strand of hair that’s blown into Wei Ying’s face. “Don’t you want to live happily ever after, Wei Ying?” he asks.

Wei Ying feels like he’s died and gone straight to heaven.

[erivroom]

idea for an tgcf mdzs crossover au:

wei wuxian isn’t actually dead, he’s hiding in ghost city!

he accidentally finds out he can use his flute to make hua cheng do things because he is. in fact. also a ghost.

he doesn’t make hua cheng do anything too much at first, just joking around making him dance embarrassingly in public or flip off the wrong people.

and then in walks xie lian. hua cheng is insistent on being the self deprecating clueless lovely idiot we know him as.

wei wuxian decides to take it upon himself to be the #1 wingman ever and speed up the process by getting them together with the power of flute playing!

eventually hua cheng also convinces wei wuxian to return to the land of the living for lan wangji!

wei wuxian: bro he obviously is in love with you! full on flirt with him! stop being so cryptic!

hua cheng: mmhm ok whatever you say… and what about you and that one guy you knew? what was his name? lan-

wei wuxian: *flute noises*

[yingandzhan]

I felt inspired.

LWJ... Is that you? 🤔

Saw this on Facebook and instantly thought of LWJ doing this after moving house and noticing a tired, worryingly skinny fox trying to get comfortable under a peony shrub in his new garden.

Foxxian can't believe his luck! The next night he visits he finds a plush, comfy basket and snuggly blankets that smell like sandalwood nestled in amongst the shelter of the pink peonies. The night after that, there is fruit and vegetables (green ones he refuses to eat - he's hungry, but he's not THAT hungry). The night after that he arrives to find meat, actually MEAT and it's not raw, it's been cooked. It's so tender and tasty and foxxian can't gobble it down fast enough before he falls asleep all cosy in his heavenly scented bed, curled up amongst the layers of soft blankets.

Just as his sharp eyes slowly began to close, his belly full and his mind drifting off to the land of nod, he could have sworn he saw a beautiful man approaching him, hand lowered to show he meant no harm.

Long fingers messaged that spot between his pointed ears on the top of his head, the one that he never knew could feel so good to have stroked. He can no longer resist the temptation of sleep, too relaxed to care that someone knelt beside him, smelling just as intoxicating as his new favourite place to sleep.

Before he drifts off into an amazing, warm and comforting dream, he thought he heard the man speak. A deep, alluring voice that made his heart soar.

"Wei Ying..." the handsome man all but whispered.

This voice. This scent. This blurry outline of a lithe, beautiful man. So familiar... So comforting...

His last hazy thought drifted through his mind like a rolling cloud in a clear blue sky... Lan Zhan?

I'm a little late, but I realized Jin lings birthday just passed like a couple hours ago and I had this drawing I did a while back!

A nice little sneak peek of Jin Ling's and Fairy's design for Ghost of Mine! I always thought it was odd that Fairy was simply "black" in the novel but is portrayed as a husky everywhere else- so I looked into black dogs indigenous to china and picked out the Tibetan mastiff ❤

Fairy is the best support dog, she comfort (❁´◡`❁)

Now that it has officially finished, I would like everyone in the mdzs fandom to read this absolutely phenomenal, jaw-dropping amazing fic about WWX waking up in a modern era and adapting to modern life-

It is so so so good, the way this author understood and wrote WWX just the way he is in the novel so well, with all his genius and intelligence and resilience and quirky humour, it's a breath of fresh air. The slow burn is veryyyyy slow, but this fics leans more into practical and realistic what-ifs of WWX waking up in the modern world, and the romance is more in the background. Still very sweet and wonderfully written!

Of course also featuring the juniors, aka the ducklings. I promise their earnestness, sincerity and clumsy righteousness all the while being dumb and snarky and absolutely hilarious teenagers, will have you laughing and giggling hysterically the whole time.

The well thought out character analysis as well the long research in the notes are such a bonus. I was so enraptured all throughout the reading experience and learned so much about the intricacies of the modern and historical Chinese languages, as well as the thorniness of the past Chinese dynasties and so much more.

Also the way this author manages to analyse and understand the characters and original story in a way very few do is astounding to me. Seriously, this should be The MDZS Fic Of The Fandom.

Everyone go read this ASAP, and thank me later!

[lanzhansexual]

The whole exes to lovers trope for Wangxian just doesn't work. It would never happen.

The minute WWX and LWJ know how each other feels, that's it!

They are all systems go! Totally and utterly head over heels in love with each other. They are an unstoppable force of pure devotion.

Once they are aware of their true feelings and come together as a couple there are no misunderstandings any longer, they are completely on the same page. There are no secrets, no things left unsaid, just utter commitment.

There is literally no reason for them to break up and become exes in the first place. So having such a thing in fanfic is just out of character.

Wangxian fall so deeply in love with each other that there is nothing that would stop them being together. Absolutely nothing.

Bring Me Tomorrow/Stay With Me Commission #2: Chapter 50

A million thank you's to the amazing artist @silverink58 for their beautiful piece.

If you are interested in the comic check out the story its based on. Its on AO3

Enjoy this beautiful art by @wrathyforest, my gift to @deathbyoctopi for the wonderful songxuexiao fic Gentle breeze, cold frost, sweet crimson drizzle, featuring a Jin pleasure house, 2 x out of place daoshis and 1 x clever and cunning pleasure slave slash demonic cultivator...

Fic Excerpts:

[Xiao Xingchen] didn’t actually notice the young man until he stopped by his side and sat on his lap. “So, what is a cute daozhang like you doing in a place like this, hmm?” asked the apparition, looping his arms around the daoshi’s neck before he even had time to react...

And [Xue Yang] was beautiful, Xiao Xingchen was realising after the initial shock. His eyes were bright, his thin lips wide in a sweet and half-mocking smile. His long raven hair was pulled up in a high ponytail, but leaving out his bangs and unruly strands here and there, betraying a mischievous and chaotic nature. Limbs lean and delicate, a slight tan on that unblemished skin, which was only half-way hidden by a complicated overlap of sheer silks crowned with golden chains here and there. His hands were gloved. His middrift was bare. Xiao Xingchen was completely enraptured by that young man who now occupied the entirety of his vision, with a smile so bright that could light up the whole world...

"You! You shameless beast! Let him go!"

The voice bursting with indignant outrage came right from their left, where Song Lan was stomping angrily towards them...

Song Lan didn’t listen. He looked at the young man on his lover’s lap, clinging so readily as if he had every right to be there. The strange thing was, though… That Xingchen seemed to feel just as comfortable with that leech on him. His hand rested easily on the other’s slim waist, absent-mindedly tracing soft patterns on his bare skin… They seemed to fit so well together, in a way that Song Lan felt he would never be able to.

Since it's the beginning of Xiantober, I thought I'd start it off by re-sharing a fic I wrote for WWXs birthday last year 🥰🎨🖌️

Shades Of Our Souls

Newly famous artist, Wei Wuxian, is begrudgingly roped into auctioning off a week's worth of art lessons at a pretentious charity auction. As the gavel is about to fall, locking in the final bid, a deep voice calls out from somewhere in the shadows.

Defeating the competition in one fell swoop, the handsome stranger stakes his claim on the young man's spare time.

But is that all he's after? Wei Ying certainly hopes not...

Check out the beautiful art @daynight139 created especially for the story, it's so pretty!! 😍

[naehja]

Because of a failed expriment, Wei Wuxian meets others versions of himself who have been adopted by other sects and who have more of less differents lifes. He must help them to return to their own universe but learns interesting things about them.

So our WWX has to deal with:

- A Nie!Wei Wuxian, adopted by the Nie Sect at 5 (gave his Golden Core to Huaisang, was sworn brother with Jin Zuxian), knows Lan Zhan since he's 6. Was called Nie Ying and then Nie Wuxian until he does defection to save the Wen Survivors. And then the next actions are the same. Jin Zixuan dies, Jiang Yanli dies, Lan Wangji save A-Yuan but let the boy know his uncles. Wei Wuxian is brought back by Mo Xuanyu like in canon. He hate Jin Guangyao with passion for what he did to Mingjue during the war and what he did after, killing him with the music who should have helped him. In this universe Miánmián marry Mingjue so Huaisang and Wei Wuxian have a niece and a nephew (twins born 6 months before Mingjue's death). He knows what Huaisang did but said nothing because he's just proud of his brother. Nie Huaisang is a lot stronger in this universe.

- A Jin! Wei Wuxian has been found at 7 by Jin Zixuan. Wei Wuxian becomes a strong cultivator, a pride in his sect. He sees Jin Zixuan as his brother and loves to tease him. He knows Jin Zixuan feelings about Jiang Yanli and being forced to marry and help him to getting to know her better. He goes to help the Jiang when Lotus Piers is attacked by the Wen. Then he's captured and throw in the burial mounds. Following that, the events are the same than in canon. The incident on Qiongqi Path is even worse since Zixuan was Wei Wuxian's brother and this death broke him. Yanli doesn't die. And so Wei Wuxian is brought back by Mo Xuanyu 13 years later. He's very protective of Jin Ling and feel even more bad about Jin Zixuan dead. He hates Jin Guangyao with a burning rage when he learns the truth.

- A Lan!Wei Wuxian, adopted at 5 by Lan Qiren. He never lost his Golden Core and is renowned for his inventions. He never touched demonic cultivation and is married with Lan Zhan for years. He's sworn brother with Huaisang and Zixuan. He's the only Wei Wuxian to still have his old body. He didn't have to learn demonic cultivation and create a lot of things during the war who helped to win. When he has decided to save the Wen Survivors, he asks Lan Qiren and Lan Xichen to come with him. Since he's sworn brother wirh Jin Zixuan, he's still Jin Ling uncle. Nie Mingjue never died because Wei Wuxian was visiting Huaisang one day and heard Jin Guangyao playing the "song of clarity" and was like "wait something is wrong about it". And so Jin Guangyao was discovered to poisonning Mingjue with dangerous music and has had to face consequences. Mo Xuanyu never died because Zixuan and Yanli decided to literally adopt this new little brother. Lan!Wei Wuxian is the only one to not die and be bring back to life or to lose his golden core.

It's just funny to imagine that all the Wei Wuxian became good friend/brother/sworn brother with Jin Zuxian, except the canon!one who more or less dislikes him.

Also all the Wuxian are in love with Lan Zhan. They're soulmates.

Feel free to write it if you are inspired =)
