M, 4k, Wangxian
Summary: “I like you so much it’s insane,” he says. “You’re so good. You’re my favourite. You’re the best, Lan Zhan.” His voice recedes, turns smaller and smaller, and Lan Wangji’s skin prickles with the terrible realisation that this doubt of his has hurt Wei Wuxian. “So don’t go around thinking I don’t love you.” Kay's comments: This is THE story when it comes to aromantic Wei Wuxian and his relationship with Lan Wangji. It's so beautifully done and I adore it. The way it explains their love for each other and their relationship and deals with Lan Wangji's insecurities in this regard is actually genius and it can be totally read as canon compliant. Highly recommend! Excerpt: It’s not that Wei Wuxian doesn’t love him, Lan Wangji realises in that moment, the gentle inevitability of dawn. It isn’t even that Wei Wuxian doesn’t love him more than anything else. It’s simply that, if Lan Wangji is a compass always seeking him, then Wei Ying is simply the North Star. It’s just that, for all that Lan Wangji followed him, Wei Ying might never have gone looking. It’s only that, of all the countless people in the world who are magnetised to his charm, Lan Wangji was the one persistent enough to reach him, and touch him, and know him. Of course, Wei Wuxian loves him. But he has never had to be in love with Lan Wangji. With anyone. And if Lan Wangji had never known Wei Ying so comprehensively, he thinks with a strange curiosity for the nature of his heart that Wei Ying would never have been in love, with anyone, ever. He still isn’t. Not in the way that Lan Wangji is in love with him.
pov lan wangji, post-canon, canon compliant, aromantic character, aromantic wei wuxian, insecurity, communication, light angst, established relationship

hi! idk if you accept anonymous submissions, but in case you do, i have this fic i wrote a while back! it deals with the less than pretty part of being aro, though, so be sure to read the tags and content warnings at the end of the fic
https://archiveofourown.org/works/41779047
Summary:
As if responding to nir sullen mood, pitter-patters of drizzling rain started to fall down outside. A vague earthy smell filled the room, the soft sunset glow from the window slowly fading away into light grey. In this room, in this empty and melancholy apartment, Wei Ying felt the dam break. Tears started to fall down nir cheeks, making nem hug the pillow even tighter. Nir chest heaved with sobs, even harder now that ne was alone and no longer had to stifle it in.

If SY were to interact with other MXTX characters how many and who do you think he'd be able to wifebeam
the only characters he absolutely would NOT be able to wifebeam are hua cheng, xie lian, and lan wangji. i believe without a doubt he would wifebeam wei wuxian though. he is so vulnerable to beautiful scholarly autistic men.
the majority of side characters are absolutely done for though. wen ning? gone. obliterated. pei ming? fucked. absolutely fucked. sy bottles bisexual awakenings and forcefeeds them to unsuspecting victims. jiang yanli is a married woman but i think she and jin zixuan could blow his back out together. aromantics are immune from the romantic implications of the wifebeam but will still be obsessed with him in some way. only lesbians are safe.

Hello, I'm looking for a fic where in the Tortoise cave, Jiang Cheng and Jin Zixuan also get trapped with Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian. They all accidentally form a telepathic bond while killing the Tortoise. I remember that after they escape, WWX and LWJ figure out how to temporarily block out the others so that they can make out without Jiang Cheng getting too grossed out. They all decide to have a sworn brothers ceremony so that they won't all be separated easily. At some point, Jin Zixuan realizes that he's asexual.
Thank you 💙

Devil Venerable Also Wants to Know by Cyan Wings -- a brief review (no spoilers)
80 chapters + 2 extras
My Rating: ★★★★★ / 5
I went into this story fairly blind / un-spoiled as to the plot and characters and I really enjoyed it. If you like The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System I think you'll like this one. It's a pretty quick read (I read it over the course of 2½ weeks) and it also feels a bit lighter of a read -- in the sense that there's not a bunch of twists and turns or faceslapping going around. There's still narrative weight to the characters' choices but it feels more focused on the emotions of the characters than on making a dogblood drama.
I also really enjoyed the cultivation meta in this book -- there were sections where we would get insight into why the main character did a certain thing and how he belived that would / could impact the universe / world / dao.
Check for content warnings under the cut.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What kind of story is Devil Venerable Also Wants to Know?
This is a story that really breaks the fourth wall and doesn't take itself too seriously. Like Cyan Wings' other stories that I've read it is really funny and the characters are fantastic. If you like transmigration novels but dislike the trope of an all-powerful manipulative "System" that keeps that transmigrator in check then try this one! The main character is NOT a transmigrator but he does gain knowledge that breaks the fourth wall and there are times when he considers the people around them as if they were characters in a novel. Several of the main characters can also be read as asexual and / or aromantic which is really nice too.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Throughout the story the main characters are growing and learning more about themselves and each other -- there's several times when a character reflects on how they had misunderstood another character or not known what was really in their hearts. This leads to the story feeling very emotional and tender as you slowly get to know the characters. This is mainly in regard to the main character and his love interest but its true for some of the supporting cast as well.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ultimately it feels like a story of two people (who whole-heartedly trust each other with their lives) slowly opening up and allowing themselves to be vulnerable with the other. There's also a good portion of the story that talks about heart demons and how that affects one of the characters -- it becomes a plot point even. It certainly takes the main pair a lot of work but once they are finally on the same page (ha) and treat each other as equals... it's very sweet and intimate.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who are the main characters?
Without going into details here's a little bit about our main squad:
WenRen E - Our main character. WRE is the leader of the XuanYuan demonic sect and an absolute badass. He somehow reminds me of both Yan Wushi from Thousand Autumns and Wei Wuxian from Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation. He is arrogant and prideful but also cares SO MUCH about the commonfolk in the world. He is absolutely ruthless when he needs to be but he has a line that he does not cross and he forbids his minions from crossing it either. There's also a lot of times where he's sussing out why or how something works a certain way and his understanding of the dao and the universe felt profound.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yin HanJiang - Our love interest. There's a specific post I've seen that is coming to mind but I can't remember how it's phrased... YHJ is loyal to WRE and ONLY WRE. He is submissive in the way a guard dog is -- he would follow WRE's every order and do everything in his power to protect him but at the same time he would not hesitate for a moment to attack anyone he viewed as a threat to WRE. At the beginning of the story he keeps a certain distance between himself and WRE but as the plot develops that distance becomes smaller and smaller.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BaiLi QingMiao - the protagonist of the book that appears in WRE's hand which serves as the impetus for the story. WRE finds himself frustrated and confused at her actions a fair amount of time but over the course of the story she too grows up and gains a new outlook on life.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shu YanYan - a seductress demonic cultivator. She only dual cultivates with consenting partners and uses her cleverness to manipulate people. She also seems fairly uninterested in romance -- I think she alludes to not wanting to get her heart broken but she also seems very happy as things are with her various lovers.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Qiu CongXue - hands down my favorite character in the story. I liked everyone but QCX is always speaking her mind and stirring up trouble. She has strong himbo energy and I don't want to spoil anything about her, just know that anytime she comes up it's going to be great.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is the plot of Devil Venerable Also Wants to Know?
One day a book suddenly appears in WenRen E's hand. This is notable because he is a very strong demonic cultivator and he didn't sense anything before the book appeared. So he looks at the book and decides to take it very seriously. He reads it. And he discovers that he is a character in a trashy romance novel, as is his most trusted subbordinate Yin HanJiang. He becomes very curious to find out if the other characters are real and if the events that happen in the book are destined to come true or if they can be changed. So he sets off and meets the protagonists of the novel and begins experimenting. Without spoiling things he is especially concerned about what happens to Yin HanJiang in the book. He also wants to know more about the novel's protagonists and their motivations.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Click 'keep reading' to see trigger warnings.
ptsd, depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, violence, manipulation and abuse, mention of torture, war, survivor's guilt, etc. The characters have some tragic backstories and there's some things in the novel that WRE reads that are disturbing -- but ultimately there's not "on screen" torture that the characters go through, the novel instead focuses on what's going on in the characters' psyche.

The Untamed (tv show) | Lord of the Rings (multimedia)
Tumblr media
Wen Qing & Wei Wuxian:
Besties who run communes of war refugees in direct opposition to the current ruling class stay together
Frodo Bagigns & Samwise Gamgee:
They’re just! Iconic! They have such a powerful and kind of heartbreaking friendship that drives the whole narrative.
Note: This blog is run & followed by aromantics. Insisting any pairs are ~actually romantic~ will not only cause you to be blocked on the spot, but you’ll out yourself as someone not safe to be queer around. No one wants to hear how stupid you look with those shipping goggles on.

Wen Ning deserved to have a happy ending equal to or greater than Wei Wuxian. In a romantic sense. (ignore if your hc!WN is aromantic)
I don't care that he is technically a corpse.

20 Questions for Fic Writers
tagged by @devondespresso <3
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
twenty-two!
2. What is your total AO3 word count?
161,121
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Lately, it's been stranger things, but I've published fanfic for The Magicians, The Untamed, Sweet Home, Alice in Borderland, Naruto, The Penumbra Podcast, and I Am In Eskew.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
the path to peace (is paved with good intentions)
Hearth-Warmed Chakra
rinsed vision and second chances
Secrets Never Meant to Be Kept
I could say grace was a woman with time on her hands
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Usually!!! Sometimes, I'll get behind by not responding for like a year though, and then I'll be like.......it's been too long.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I don't necessarily do angsty endings, but probably "a matter of going through" because it ends with heavily implied reconciliation that doesn't quite get actualized.
7. What the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
I ALSO don't tend to do like, cookie-cutter happy endings. Usually I go for the, everything's still hard but we'll get through it together, endings. But probably, the path to peace (is paved with good intentions).
8. Do you get hate on fics?
I got that one weird anon I mentioned for the Upside-Down AU, and then I got one person on one of my fics where a pizza delivery driver falls in love with a customer telling me that it was problematic because the driver has no agency. And I was like, lol this is fanfiction and I AM a delivery driver.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
I've written exactly ONE unpublished smut fic for Alice Quinn from The Magicians in which her evil counterpart came through the mirror and they fucked about it. I'm thinking of doing a one-shot smut fic for the Upside-Down AU though.
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
Closest I've gotten is me and a friend plotting out the unholy union of I Am In Eskew and The Penumbra Podcast (Juno Steel).
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Thankfully, nope!
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yeah, my most popular Naruto fanfic was translated to Russian!
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Nope! I've never gotten past the fucked up world-building stage with friends. Could be fun though.
14. What's your all time favorite ship?
As an aromantic person, the platonic ships are usually more important to me. First ones that come to mind are platonic stobin, and from the Untamed, Jiang Cheng & Wei Wuxian who are brothers. Honestly, I usually get sucked into romantic pairings because I'm like, wow, sure would love to see these two interract more! And then all the fanfic is romantic, so that's what I read!!!
15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Definitely my one where Jiang Cheng from The Untamed sees ghosts. If you've watched that show, you understand how this would be both hilarious and deeply fucked up.
16. What are your writing stregths?
I think I'm pretty good at little moments. Like when everyone is having a meal together etc, small, contained scenes.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Getting from point A to point B, like, how do I skip through time without if seeming weird????? So, joining sentences?
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
I've never done it, but I think it can serve its purpose. Unless you speak the language though, I think it can veer into offensive and clunky unless you get a translator.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
The Magicians, which broke my soul enough that I wrote a crack fic about it.
20. Favorite fic you've written?
My favorite is always my current obsession, so Upside-Down AU lol, but from what's published, it's definitely two million naturally occuring sweet things which is just a tretius on grief masquerading as a soup recipe.

And even after Wei Wuxian finally gets the hint, I end up skipping over most of the actual romance, because I'm too aromantic to write it successfully…so this fic may feel a bit like a lengthy prologue and an epilogue with nothing in between.
not to be the fanfiction police but...why did you write it then. or if romance wasn't your strong suit, was there maybe plot or a character study to fill out that central story? this doesn't sound appealing to read when it's phrased like that

Bio
Basics
Name: Lán Jìng (蓝静)
Courtesy Name: Lán Qĭrén (蓝启仁)
Age: 57+ (post-novel)
Birthday: 1 December
Family (by blood): Qingheng-Jun (older brother, diseased), Lan Xichen (nephew), Lan Wangji (nephew)
Sexuality: Asexual (and aromantic)
Personality: Strict, traditional, straightforward and perfectionistic. Lan Qiren believes that rules are meant to be follow (98% of the time). Most people see him as stern and unmovable, but behind all discipline lies a deeply caring heart and a curious mind. He doesn't know how to show affection in any other way than being strict, trying to keep those he cares about safe and peaceful. However, he can also hold a grudge. He's not proud of this and he tries his best not to let it cloud his judgement, but he is only human. Lan Qiren is no romantic and he actually distrust romantic love, it always leads to pain and broken hearts. It might not seem like it, but he loves teaching and he cares about his students, which he shows with strictness and discipline. If his students grow up to be rule following individuals, then peace will follow and peace equals happiness. He puts knowledge, morality and rules very high on his priority list.
Tools: Sword (解脱, jiětuō), guqin (心清, xīnqīng)
Physical
Build: Slender.
Height: 188 cm (6'2")
Weight: 73 kg (160 lbs)
Hair: Black
Eyes: Brown
Skin: Pale, he spends a lot of time indoors.
Facial Features: Like most Lans, he's very handsome, however, his stern expression and facial hair makes him appear older.
Background (Brief Timeline)
During his youth, he meets Jiang Fengmian, Jin Guangshan and Wen Ruohan as they come to study at Cloud Recesses. As the Head Disciple, he was the one in charge of order and punishment. His strict and orderly personality clashed with most in that year's class.
Later on, as he joins Jiang Fengmian, Wei Changze and Cangse Sanren on a night hunt, his adherance to the rules almost kills Fengmian and Changze. Lan Qiren takes it upon himself to make sure both men gets the best medical attention, though that doesn't stop Cangse Sanren to shave off his beard (a feature he is very proud of since he's still a junior, but can already grow some facial hair, it did not look good though).
At 16, his father dies from injuries and his mother later wastes away out of grief and follows him within a year. His older brother becomes Sect Leader.
At 18, Qingheng-Jun marries Lan-furen and goes into seclusion, leaving Qiren to lead the sect in everything but name. This leaves him feeling deeply betrayed.
When he's 19, Lan Huan is born and he smiles for the first time in a year. He will protect this child.
Two years later, when Qiren is 21, Lan Zhan is born and he swears once again to protect the boys.
At 36, he's already Tired™ and it doesn't get better as that years students, or rather one of them (Wei Wuxian!), are exceptionally stressful and unruly.
38 - Sunshot Campaign starts.
42 - Sunshot Campaign ends.
When he's 44, he's among those who believes Wei Wuxian needs to be stopped permanently. First siege of the Burial Mounds.
57 - Wei Wuxian's return.
