FANFICS!

Thought I'd make a post, basically just a list of links, for the Untamed - Mo dao zu shi fanfics I've read and enjoyed. I'll be adding to this post (and reblogging this) every once in a while, and will also add a link to this in my pinned post. I will also move the previously posted content behind a cut at every update, so this will not get horribly long.

So, without further ado and in no particular order, here we go!

*Update August 25th*

Tumblr told me this post has reached the allowed maximum length, so this will be continued in FANFICS! Part Two 🙂.

*Update August 6th*

A stone to break your soul, a song to save it by rikke

Wangxian, mature, words: 180 247, chapters: 24/24

arranged marriage, alternate universe - canon divergence

When the entire cultivation world turns against Wei Wuxian, Jiang Cheng comes up with a plan to save him and arranges a marriage between his brother and the Second Jade of Lan, Lan Wangji.

Nothing gold can stay by rikke

Wangxian, mature, words: 10 353, chapters: 1/1

alternate universe - canon divergence

Before Wen Chao can throw him into Yiling Burial Mounds, Lan Wangji finds Wei Wuxian.

Nothing you confess by PorcupineGirl

Wangxian, teen and up, words: 31 083, chapters: 6/6

alternate universe - soulmates, soulmate-identifying marks, POV alternating, golden core reveal, depressed Wei Wuxian, PTSD, Jiang Cheng & Lan Wangji friendship, friendship may be too strong a word, more like allies who are gonna love the shit outta post-Burial-Mounds WWX whether he likes it or not, hurt/comfort, recovery

Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian have both been told since childhood that if you are lucky enough to have a soulmate, a red string will appear on your wrist the day you meet them. This is common knowledge.

What nobody ever told them, likely because nobody knew, is that if your soulmate loses their golden core, you can feel it happening.

A shared plate by yukla

Wangxian, teen and up, words: 25 814, chapters: 6/6

post-canon, pining, getting together, a little bit epistolary, let Wei Ying heal agenda, food as a representation of love and belonging, tentative Yunmeng shuangjie reconciliation, oh god the yearning

"Through the window, boats drift in a mirror of the yawning sky, fringed with wide lotus leaves and the pale yellow blossoms that grow year-round. Geese call in the distance. And there again, drifting through the air—the scent of sesame shaobing, and hot dry noodles, and the sizzle-pop of frying oil. Like the heat-haze of summer, softened with time. Like the taste of home."

Or, four meals Wei Wuxian shares during his travels, and one he shares with his soulmate.

Then there's no one there by etymologyplayground

Wangxian, teen and up, words: 12 694, chapters 1/1

missing scene, hurt/comfort, talking, fluff and angst, unresolved romantic tension, heavier on the angst than it is on the fluff but it gets pretty dang tender, literal sleeping together, cuddling & snuggling

"Oh, and speaking of pretty boys," Nie Huaisang says, turning back to Wei Wuxian's unconscious form, "Don't get me started on poor Second Master Lan. He's pathetic without you, you should really see him. He's practically in tears without you here to flirt with him! He's mooning over your corpse like —"

"Nie Huaisang, that's enough," Lan Wangji snaps. He struggles with what to address first; the worst is that, "Wei Ying is not a corpse. Don't say such things."

"Sorry," Nie Huaisang says. "But sitting there silently and willing him to wake up isn't going to help, Hanguang-Jun. You want him to wake up, right? Then tell him why!" He whacks Lan Wangji's shoulder lightly with his fan.

Or, Wei Wuxian is unconscious for three days after the fall of Qishan Wen. His friends worry themselves sick.

Night breezes seem to whisper by cqlorphan

Wangxian, explicit, words: 16 706, chapters: 2/2

dom/sub undertones, sex curse, fuck or die, case fic, getting together, under-negotiated kink, but like. for reasons, love confessions, fluff and smut, post-canon, mutual pining, hurt/comfort

"All the hair on the back of Lan Wangji’s neck stands straight. He finds himself pressed between the trunk of the tree at his front, and Wei Wuxian at his back. Wei Wuxian has a firm grip on the wrist which carries Bichen, and on his left upper arm. It feels... proprietary. Suddenly, and entirely inappropriately, a very old, very shameful memory surfaces, of a long-ago dream from which he had woken sweaty and shaking. The place on his chest where the resentment pierced him begins to throb painfully. Wei Wuxian breathes heavily against his ear for half a moment longer, and Lan Wangji feels himself flush."

Or; reuniting with Wei Wuxian after their year apart is complicated by a mysterious and deadly curse.

And his wanting grows teeth by yukla

Wangxian, teen and up, words: 25 398, chapters: 1/1

AU in canon setting, LWJ is a traveling cultivator, WWX is the adopted son of a village chief, angst, pining, the smallest bit of mystery, typical jiang family dynamics, warmth and belonging and the conflict between duty and desire, slight elements of horror

"I travel so I may do my duty as a cultivator. Not in order to make acquaintances.”

Wei Wuxian huffs in amusement. “Ehhh, Lan-daozhang, no way. I would’ve thought that a friendly guy like you would have friends in every region!”

Lan Wangji’s jaw clenches.

Or; in the dead of winter, traveling cultivator Lan Wangji gets snowed in at a remote mountain village, falls in love with the chief’s adopted son, and stumbles upon a dark secret that is decades in the making.

Fanart that made me read this fic.

*Update July 29th*

Beneath six layers of silk by darkredloveknot (enheduane)

While exorcising a haunting, Lan Wangji gets cursed with a brand of honesty, and is forced to speak his every thought out loud.

Wangxian, explicit, words: 16 405, chapters: 3/3

post-canon, chief cultivator Lan Wangji, cursed Lan Wangji, protective Wei Wuxian, oblivious Wei Wuxian, misunderstandings, mutual pining, love confessions, angst with a happy ending, eventual smut, porn with feelings, cultivation discussion conferences

"Lan Zhan," Wei Ying says carefully, "do you truly not know you have been speaking?"

Lan Wangji claps a hand to his mouth and, to his horror, feels his mouth opening to answer despite having no intention to do so. Clamping it shut again takes a great effort."

Or, the one where Lan Wangji can't stop talking, and a mild amount of chaos ensues.

Wangxian & basically the whole gang, general, words: 290 322: chapters: 51/51

"Let me get this straight. You really want me to stand in for you while you help Jin Ling settle in at Koi Tower?" 

"Who else do I have?" Jiang Cheng returns. "Father trained you to serve as my deputy, didn't he? And don't say you don't remember, or I'll break your legs."

"Well, yes," Wei Wuxian manages. "Uh. I'll just let Lan Zhan know I'll be at Lotus Pier until you're back at home, then." 

Or, the one where Wei Wuxian spends the year before his wedding as Yunmeng Jiang's acting sect leader, and the cultivation world's greatest love story finds its happy ending with the help of three juniors, a teenage romance, and one very involved (and exasperated) younger brother.

Far away you are by cqlorphan

Wangxian, explicit, words: 17 358, chapters: 4/4

post-canon, getting together, misunderstandings, cleared up by juniors ensemble, fluff and smut, explicit consent, blow jobs, anal fingering, multiple orgasms, with a little angst. as a treat

"Suddenly, it snaps into place. The weary way Lan Zhan has been holding himself is suddenly cast in a new, much more distressing light. Somebody is responsible for it, a real live, horrible, blind, stupid person. The combination of guilt, sadness, and anger that sets in all at once is hard to contain. Lingering wisps of resentment that remain from the night-hunt flock to him, like calling to like.

All four boys stare at him with wide eyes.

"Wei-qianbei,” Sizhui says. “You look...um…”

"Scary,” Zizhen breathes, beaming.

"Who has rejected Lan Zhan?” Wei Wuxian asks.

Or, during one of his visits to the Cloud Recesses, the juniors strike a blow to Wei Wuxian's certainty that his feelings for Lan Wangji are one-sided.

post-canon, juniors, family feels, family bonding, yearning, Wei Wuxian and Lan Sizhui figuring out wtf their relationship is, dramatic revelations, Jin Ling being the contrary lil bean he is, all the juniors thinking Wei Wuxian is the greatest thing to ever happen to them

"As always, he arrives with no forewarning. One second, Lan Sizhui and the others are struggling against the hordes of resentful spirits created by some villagers’ accidental disruption of an ancient burial ground—far more spirits than had been initially reported, far more than they had been prepared for—and the next, he’s there, striding fearlessly into the mix, the sound of Chenqing piercing the air.

Wangxian, mature, words: 24 898, chapters: 1/1

graphic depictions of violence, post-canon, wedding fic, psychological trauma, empathy, Wangxian are engaged yet somehow still yearning: it's more likely than you think

"Wei Wuxian separates his life, without noticing, into three chapters. Some days, they’re hard to look at, hard to read, harder to know he wrote all of them himself. Some of the words are in blood."

Postcanon cql+novel verse where lwj and wwx conduct empathy so lwj can see the good, the bad, and the ugly of wwx’s descent arc as yiling laozu.

"There is a thing that lurks at the corner of his mind, disturbing the flow of his thought; it is something that he is certain he used to be able to avoid, leaving him forgetful and free. When life came to find him again he thought death might have freed him of it for good. But that wasn’t true. And today, for whatever reason, it has punched its way into the world and taken the form of a white rabbit with a black splotch on its face."

In the Cloud Recesses after the events of canon, Wei Wuxian finds himself confronting life, death, grief, and regret at an impromptu rabbit funeral.

Disrespectful, cocky, self-centered Wei Wuxian was the worst.

"Who do you think your betrothed is?" Wei Wuxian asks, sprawling out in front of Lan Zhan and enjoying the prim thinning of his lips at the question. He shouldn't be sprawling—they're in the library, for one, and Lan Zhan is studying, for another—but he can't help himself. Wei Wuxian is a sprawler.

"I do not believe this to be of importance," Lan Zhan responds, without turning his gaze away from his book.

"What!" Wei Wuxian sits up. "How can you say that? Of course it's important! This is the person you'll be with for the rest of your life, Lan Zhan."

"Ah, what else to say...this will be a quick letter, as I want to send it off before I head out in the morning. Of course there’s too much to express—especially when I lack the gorgeous poetry of your voice, which you’ll be pleased to know has prevented my peaceful rest on many a night. It is wrong enough that you lay beyond the edge of the clouds, and I lay alone under feverish rain. I can only hope that I also disrupt your evenings, else life would be far too unfair.

Meng Yao arrives at the Cloud Recesses as Nie-gongzi's attendant. Zewu-Jun allows him to stay for the lectures. There's something about this place, and the man who rules it, that triggers an irrevocable change in him.

“Hanguang-jun,” Wei Wuxian repeats. His heart clenches. He wants—but he’d really meant to have this nightmare stuff down before they met again, so he wouldn’t find himself relying on Lan Wangji’s nearness. He’s not supposed to go back yet. But he’s so tired, and his will crumbles. “Yeah,” he says. “All right. Take me back to Gusu with you.”

RP Meme from The Lost Boys

I told you to stay off the boardwalk.

Hey, I liked that song.

I don't see any boogeymen or nasty guys.

Wait. That's from my era!

That's the ocean air.

Smells like someone died.

Looks like he's dead. No, he's just a deep sleeper.

If he's dead, can we go back to [PLACE]?

What's wrong with this picture? There's no TV. Have you seen a TV? I haven't seen a TV.

You're the only woman I ever knew who didn't improve her situation by getting divorced.

A big legal war wasn't going to improve anybody's situation.

Ouch. My hair.

Talk about the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

We've got some rules around here. Second shelf is

mine. That's where I keep my root beers and my double-thick Oreo cookies. Nobody touches the second shelf but me.

There's another rule around here, and I want you to pay

close attention. Don't touch anything. Everything is exactly where I want it.

There are some bad elements around here.

You're telling me we've moved to the murder capital of the world?

If all the corpses buried around here were to stand up all at once we'd have one hell of a population problem.

I just like to read the TV Guide. Read the TV Guide, you don't need a TV.

I was so worried. Don't run off like that.

We were that age, too, once. Only they dress better.

You have a generous nature. I like that in a person.

So how may I help you this evening? We have it all.

I look that needy, huh?

You're chasing that girl, aren't you?

I'm at the mercy of your sex glands.

Don't you have something better to do than follow me around all night?

Just scoping your civilian wardrobe.

Listen buddy, if you're looking for the diet frozen-yogurt bar, it went out of business last summer.

That's a very serious book, man.

Only five in existence.

Where the hell are you from? Krypton?

Nobody drives this baby but me.

We have to let it warm up a little. Hear that sound? Just like a baby pussycat.

That's as close to town as I like to get.

It's a pretty cool place. If you're a Martian. Or a vampire.

Are you guys sniffing old newsprint or something?

You think you really know what's happening here, don't you? Well, I'll tell you something. You don't know shit buddy.

This is just our cover. We are dedicated to a higher

purpose. We're fighters for Truth Justice, and the American

way.

Think of it more as a survival manual.

There's our number on the back and pray you never need to call us.

I'll pray I never need to call you.

If you want your ear pierced, I'll do it.

I came this close to being called Moon Beam or Moon Child Or something like that.

I can't beat your bike.

You don't have to beat me, [NAME]. You just have to try

and keep up.

Just you! Come on! Just you!

That's what I love about this place. You ask, and then you get.

I can never sleep with the closet door open, either. Not even a crack.

Don't sneak up on people like that!

What, you don't like rice? Tell me [NAME], how could a

billion Chinese people be wrong? Come on!

You're eating maggots. How do they taste?

Sorry about that. No hard feelings, huh?

Drink some of this, [NAME]. Be one of us.

Give me those sunglasses.

You need sunglasses to talk on the phone?

Are you freebasing? Inquiring minds want to know.

Anything in here that might pass for after-shave?

Have a big date tonight, [NAME]?

Lose the earring, [NAME]. It's not you. It's definitely

not you.

All you do is give attitude lately.

Go take your bath.

What did you do to my dog, asshole?

I didn't hurt him. He bit me. This is my blood.

Why did he bite you, huh? What did you do to him?

He was protecting you.

Look at your reflection in the mirror. You're a creature of

the night, [NAME]. Just like out of a comic book.

My own brother/sister/friend/etc, a goddam shit-sucking vampire.

You wait 'til[NAME] finds out!

Just let me talk. Wait a minute! [NAME]!

You did the right thing by calling us.

Does the sunlight freak him out?

He wears sunglasses in the house.

He always had bad breath, though.

He's a vampire all right. Here's what you do.

I can't do that! He's my brother/sister/mother/friend/etc!

You better get yourself a garlic T-shirt, buddy. Or it's

your funeral.

I think we have to have a real long talk about something.

[NAME] help! He's coming to get me!

[NAME], help me! Open up! Help me! [NAME], open the window!

So what are you, the flying nun?

We're gonna work this out. We*re gonna work this out. Trust

me, okay?

I thought I saw something on my window, but I guess I got carried away.

I would like to have a personal life too.

Can I sleep in here with you tonight?

You smell like garlic.

What's happening to me, [NAME]?

I don't know how to help you.

Aren't we friends anymore?

Then let's act like friends. Let's talk.

We could talk about anything you want to talk about.

I have more serious things on my mind than girls and school. Things I'm dealing with.

Looks like I wasn't the only one who got lucky last night.

The dog chased my mom like the Hounds of Hell from Vampires

Everywhere.

We've been aware of some very serious vampire activity in

town for a long time.

[PLACE] has become a haven for the undead.

As a matter of fact, we're almost certain that ghouls and

werewolves occupy high position at City Hall.

Kill your brother/sister/boyfriend/aunt/best friend/etc, you'll feel better!

Look, it says here that if you kill the head vampire all half-vampires will return to normal.

Does he know who the head vampire is?

You'll have to kill him. And if you don't, we will.

Vampire require a daytime protector, a guardian to watch

over them as they sleep. Fierce dogs, the Hounds of Hell,

are often employed for this purpose.

Truth, Justice, The American way triumphs.

Smells good. When do we eat?

Are we gonna have company again?

Well, you are the man of the house and I'm not coming in until you invite me.

He promises to behave if you come back.

I didn't know you were having guests.

Our batting average isn't terrific, is it? Zero for two.

You're so sweet to him.

I don't know what got in to him. He's not like that.

If you ever want to see [NAME] again, you better come with

us now.

Initiation's over, [NAME]. Time to join the club.

Don't kill me, [NAME]. I'm basically a good kid, so just

don't kill me.

Just work with me and I can help you. You'll be okay.

Is she one of them?

You shut the window and lock your door.

She's one of them! And don't tell me it doesn't make her a

bad person, [NAME]!

Yes, and it's my fault. You would've not met me, if I

hadn't liked you. I tried to warn you.

You drank someone's blood? Are you crazy?

We're not them.

Why didn't you kill me last night?

You're supposed to be my first.

What are you doing here? What do you want from me?

Don't kill anybody until we get back to you!

I got connections.

The night crawler. The bloodsucker. El Vampiro.

I don't want you going down there.

Look, this isn't a comic book, [NAME]. These guys are

brutal killers.

Who'd you rather go down in with you? Them or me?

If something happens down there, I won't have the strength

to protect you.

This time I'll protect you.

Even though you're a vampire, you're still my brother/sister/friend/etc

If you try to stop us, or vamp out in any way, I'll stake

you without even thinking twice about it!

Where did you say you met these guys?

Don't you touch her. Stay away from her.

Flies and the undead go together like bullets and guns.

There must be coffins here someplace.

I thought they'd be in coffins.

That's what this cave is. It's one giant coffin.

Right now they're at their most vulnerable. Easy pickings.

Remember. You just have to kill the leader.

We don't know which one he is.

I guess we'll just have to kill them all.

What's that, a little vampire humor? It wasn't funny.

Good night, bloodsucker.

We blew it, man! We lost it!

We unraveled in the face of the enemy!

They pulled a mind-scramble on us!

We don't ride with vampires.

"Burn rubber" does not mean warp speed!

Your dog knows a flesh-eater when he smells one.

The sun goes down. They'll be looking for us.

[PLACE] is crawling with vampires

They're coming to the house as soon as it gets dark!

I'm gonna see [NAME] tonight, and you're trying to ruin it for me.

I don't know what you don't want me to see.

I'm not talking about [NAME]! To hell with [NAME]!

Good. That's just the way we like it.

We've got a date tonight?

They'll be coming for all of us.

It's just old memories coming back.

Why are you so jumpy tonight?

He seemed so sincere, but it's insane.

Tell me. I promise not to laugh. Honest.

I think I should warn you all when a vampire dies, it's never a pretty sight.

Some yell and scream. Some go quietly. Some explode. Some implode. But all will try to take you with them.

Don't go out there! Stop him!

I say we terminate them right now.

You're mine. You killed [NAME]

Try the holy water, dead breath!

I nailed one of them downstairs with a bow and arrow.

We trashed the one that looked like Twisted Sister.

We totally annihilated his night stalkin' ass!

Death to all vampires!

We are awesome monster bashers!

Holy shit! The attack of Eddie Monster!

Stop! Get away from him! Just stay away from him! He's just

a little boy.

You're afraid to face me, [NAME]?

I tried to make you immortal.

You tried to make me a killer!

Stop fighting me, [NAME]. I don't want to kill you. Join us.

It is too late, my blood is in your veins.

Don't let them see me like this.

What happened to your face?

I knew it. You are the head vampire.

You're the secret [NAME] was protecting.

Don't ever invite a vampire into your house, you silly boy/girl/etc.

It renders you powerless.

Has everyone gone crazy? What's the matter with all of you?

It was you I was after, all along, [NAME]

It was all going to be so perfect, [NAME]

Just like one big happy family.

Great. The bloodsucking Brady Bunch.

I still want you, [NAME]. I haven't changed my mind about that.

I didn't invite you this time, [NAME]

Don't you touch my mother/father/son/dog/etc

Don't fight, [NAME]. It's so much better if you don't fight.

How much do you think we should charge them for this?

One thing about living in [PLACE] I never could

stomach--all the damn vampires.

November 14th, 2022

Today is Monday & I find myself recovering from the worst week of my life. I think it's about time where I keep a diary again to contain all of my secrets and emotions because in truth I just can't handle bottling them in anymore.

To start it all off, this wreckage of emotions began with my period never arriving. Two negative pregnancy tests & a 'Plan B' pill prove that I am not pregnant, but with all these hormones flowing through my body, I can't even keep up with myself. What I really need is some understanding, empathy, and a support system but I can't seem to find that in anyone. Not even my boyfriend.

Marty has been an on-and-off "good" boyfriend. But I feel safe to say it here. I resent him.

I resent and do not love my own boyfriend, Martin R. Mosher.

Wow... Now that it's out there and I can see those words, I feel like a relief has been placed off of my shoulders. Maybe there was a time when I used to love him, but I haven't felt anything like that since summer. I stay away from my phone on most days so I don't have to respond to messages or text him. I go to school and enjoy my time to myself. Isn't it funny that school is my only escape from him now? It has to be because he can't call my school to find me like he does at BOTH of my jobs now. He always thinks of ways to find me. Even when I block him. He always finds a way to manipulate situations to get to me. To make me a bad person.

I guess that's what I am though. I am a bad person. I love it. Since when was the world in favor of good girls?

Anyway, putting the no-show period and raging hormones aside, Marty is just the worst. His fat fuck of a stepmom contacted my mother to get information about the nature of our relationship. He has apparently been lying about talking to other girls while dating me. I don't even believe him when he tells me that it was just something he made up to get his dad off of his back. I know he's been cheating on me. That's part of the reason why I loathe him so much nowadays. But he isn't the only player in this game. I have other options that I keep at arm's length. The only difference between him and me is that I used to be really proud to call him my boyfriend. I always talk about him, have pictures of him up, set him as my lock screen on everything, etc, etc... but he's a foul human being who disrespects me and treats me like dirt. He didn't even tell his parents he loved me. There is just no way in hell that Marty is an endgame. I have to accept that.

He's nice to have around for now. He's someone to buy me nice things, give me affirmations every now and then, and have sex with once or twice a month when I get to see him & that's good enough for me. But this past week has really proved to me that he's just a straight-up loser. He cusses me out every single day. He yells at me. He blames me for everything. He doesn't share the same level of understanding as I do for him. He is just a 23-Year Old baby that lives with his mom. He thinks he's made of money & yet he can't buy us a house, let alone a HOTEL to stay at for a few days. He can afford whatever he wants though. He's spoiled... Spoiled is what he is. He apparently had TWO Occulus Rifts. He had me buy him one, putting me in a brief financial crisis while he knew he had one all along. I've never been more disgusted by him in my life. Maybe once. Maybe the day I caught him watching porn in our bathroom.

He's just... such a friggin loser. I am so embarrassed that he's the guy I'm with right now. Max said that he would be happy to hook me up with Gem... but I'm starting to think that maybe emo/punk boys are not it. I do love them and think they are sexy as fuck, but if they're anything like Marty going forward... then I can't do it. The baggage, the abuse, the fighting... it's all so fucking hard to deal with. I can't stand that guy anymore. Even the sex is just a little above average. I've cum harder just listening to Corpse Husband songs.

I keep asking myself why I stay with him when I despise him so much. I know my worth, I know there are other guys, and I even know who does and doesn't want me at the moment, but I stay with Marty regardless. Maybe I enjoy the pain, maybe I don't recognize I have the ability to move forward, or maybe I simply need a placeholder in my life right now.

But... I also do have this tiny, tiny, TEENY voice in the back of my head screaming out at me to hold on. That MAYBE someday he will grow up and change and be the perfect guy again and I will fall in love with him all over again. All I have to do is wait. But waiting is hard & I find myself losing patience for that. Maybe I can wait.

I don't want to though.
