My second drawing for the @mdzsrbb ! The fic to go with this is called "We All Have A Hunger" by the amazing @kat-anni (KatAnni on AO3). If you want to know what happened to Lan Wangji and what Wei Wuxian is going to do now, go read the story here, it's great!

Summary: Lan Wanji was never told the details of his parents' story. Now that he has discovered his own desires, his life's goal is to keep Wei Wuxian from finding out. But life is cruel and truths get revealed at the worst possible times. Since I suck at summaries, here are some key features: - it's Wangxian mainly - plus some development of the prev generation Lans - plus going to war with the Wens - plus Wen Qing being totally badass - plus Jin family craziness - plus just about every character ever mentioned on the show and some assumed ones getting screentime and storylines And if you're still wondering, here's a taste: ------------------------------ “Ah, but there are other Wens here though,” Jin Guangshan gave an appraising look to Wen Ning and Wen Qing. “Who could say where they were last night.” “Where do you think I was,” Wen Qing retorted quickly, “on my wedding night?” [...] “What about him then?” a Jin pointed at Wen Ning. “He was with me,” Nie Mingjue said flatly. “All night?” Nie Huaisang peeked over his fan to stare at his brother. “What were you doing?” “Talking,” Nie Mingjue said in a threatening tone. The fan went back up.

Part 1 of Gentians garden

My comments: Really fascinating and entertaining, epic fix-it with depth and twists and just, wild and uninhibited creativity along the lines of Magical Marriage Ribbons and Fallen. In which wangxian get together (after awkward adolescent stumbling) as students - a relationship that begins to solidify as they study together and debate cultivation theory and invention. (Wwx is already a prolific inventor, and lwj is reluctantly fascinated.) When the Wens attack CR (and WQ turns coat to warn the Lans that it's going to happen) it is, of course, wangxian who save the day with an insane off-the-cuff invention through which they fool the wens into thinking they burned the sect and then quite literally bag them.

There are so many departures from canon! For example, wwx figures out how to call the other Yin pieces to them; wangxian learn to combine their qi and make a single big, extremely powerful entity out of their two selves; wwx never loses his core and while he uses demonic energy, it's not in the same way it is in canon, so he's not universally reviled. And, of course, he and lwj are paired up since their student days. There is heavy focus on his talismans and inventions (yay!) They save the Wens; and stumble over child mo xuanyu (whose sass blossoms once he understands he's safe with wangxian).

Story is loaded with plot and action and character interactions and transitions seamlessly between all of them so that when your teeth ache from fluff there's angst to cleanse your palate, and the same with action and relationships. Wwx's self-worth issues are ENORMOUS and don't seem much settled by the fact that every single other sect wants him and his genius, and there's digging into his past and why he's so fucked up, which gives room for lovely emotional h/c.

And I'm not even going to go into the possessed baby xuanwus (from eggs collected by young mxy), all the illegitimate Jin brothers, the whole province given to wwx by GusuLan as thanks for winning the war (he's SO unprepared to be the Lord of a city), lwj's foul-mouthed secret uncle, the meteor and the volcano. Just. It's epic, trust me.

In the sequel (nearly another 100k) you get wwx trying to face his fears via puppy therapy, a grand cultivation tournament (featuring a newly young adult mxy and his crush), a woman with a strange history, an incredibly awkward jc, wwx hiding a secret he doesn't feel is his to tell and lwj drinking vinegar. It's delicious.

part one: canon divergence, students at cloud recesses, gay panic lan wangji, crushes, teasing, genius wei wuxian, magic theory, cultivation theory, telepathy spell, getting to know each other, accidental bonding, fix-it, pov alternating, talismans, inventor wei wuxian, attack on cloud recesses that is successfully rebuffed, political marriage, emotional hurt/comfort, angst, madam yu's a+ parenting, blending qi, sharing a body, jiang cheng & jin zixuan prickly friends, brotherly feels, wei wuxian cannot feel pain, xuanwu babies, demonic cultivation, wei wuxian keeps his golden core, jealous jiang cheng, oblivious jiang cheng, dysfunctional family dynamics, the jiangs are so fucked up, self-worth issues, self-esteem issues, mo xuanyu is utterly charming, he speaks for all of us, mo xuanyu deserves better, bamf wei wuxian, bamf lan wangji, epic, sharing a brain, lan qiren is good-ish, jin zixuan is pretty cool, jiang cheng has a good character arc and improves himself eventually, madam yu is only mostly terrible, the political marriage couple is a secret, implied/referenced suicide, implied/referenced child abuse

part two: cynophobia, puppy therapy, cultivation tournament, mo xuanwu, reincarnation, misunderstandings, lack of communication, jealous lan wangji, drinking vinegar, happy ending

1. Hi!!! I’ve been looking for an older fic lately and can’t seem to find it. It’s an explicit modern AU friends with benefits fic where lan zhan realizes he’s in love with wei ying and breaks up with him as a result and then pining ensues. The only specific thing I remember is that the very first scene is of lan zhan realizing he’s in love with wei ying while they are having sex. Thank you for all of your awesome work on this blog!!

4. hello again! this is for fic finder. i have an image in my head of wwx going to lotus pier with lwj’s family, i think? he was given a silver and onyx guan by lwj (i think it belonged to his father) and madam yu caught him wearing it and she ripped it out of his hair, saying “so you fancy yourself a young master now?” and later i think lan qiren puts it back in his hair when wwx is with lwj and his family. i think he’s betrothed to lwj here but i’m not sure. @ieatkitcat

5. Please help me find this fic. Lan zhan and nie huaisang travel to past during burial mounds and weight yong create a track hundred holes curse back to who cursed them. And wei ying create yillng guide too. And lan zhan make a new identity. It is archived I think. @wangxian02

For 5, I can't find the fic, but it sounds like one where LZ and NHS became friends, and NHS sent gay porn to LZ (in crates?). The chapter where the tracking of the 100 holes curse was done was one of the last published, and JZx ended up forcefully stripping SS, causing much hilarity in the onlookers. LZ commissionned the tracker from WY in a secret identity.

6. Hello there! I'm looking for this particular fic where wangxian and juniors are out on a nighthunt and they somehow end up needing to view each other's memories? I can't remember much else except that the memories are kind of random and there's a lot of feelings!

A) a threadfic on the ex-bird app where JL was poking around in Koi Tower and ended up finding WWX in a room where the only(?) access point was a grate in the ceiling. It maybe took a while but eventually they got JC involved.

B) modern AU where LXC misunderstands WWX and drives him to cancel his plans to spend Xmas(? or some holiday anyway) with LWJ. WWX gives LWJ a star lantern as a gift, which makes the Lan bros reassess the situation and LXC (rightly) feels like an ass and promptly pivots to "I have a second didi now". @linderel

9. Hello! I created an account on Tumblr just to ask this. I need help finding a fic. It's canon divergence, post bloodbath of Nightless City. I don't remember well the beginning but Lan Wangji rescues Wei Wuxian and they escape, at some point they find a cottage in the forest(?) and it's near a village. Wei Wuxian stays in the cottage and Lan Wangji goes out to work with the villagers and get food. There's even a scene when he brings rabbit meat for Wei Wuxian but he didn't hunt it, the villagers gave it to him. There's another scene when LWJ hadn't returned home and it was getting late, WWX decides to go out and search for him, it was raining, they meet in the middle and kiss, they end up making love in their cottage. I remember that towards the end LXC found them and WWX goes to Cloud Recesses with LWJ. Please, I'm kind of desperate because I really loved the fic but I can't find it anymore. I appreciate your help.

Wei ying finds out that it is filled with various items and lan zhan confesses that throughout the years of wei ying's death he has been buying things which he thought wei ying would like.

19. Hello! Thank you for all the work you do!! For fic finder, there’s a fic I read earlier this year that I can’t find in my history. It was a case fic, I *think* modern with magic but I wouldn’t stake my life on it, where even though wwx and lwj were estranged, they accidentally end up on the same night hunt (the juniors are there, lwj is supervising them I think). They get trapped in a rundown manor by the resident spirit, who turns out to be a jilted bride, who trapped them bc it turns out that shortly before wwx’s disappearance, he and lwj slept together, and the ghost is projecting onto them, so they get shotgun married to please the ghost

20. Hi! I'm looking for a transmigration fic! It starts with someone being shoved into the body of someone in a western sect, like a weird parody of SVSSS, the main character is on the scholar peak, and moonlights as a healer, but has to cross-dress for it (because healing is feminine there?). He knows the book he's in, and hates it because just like Luo Binghe, the stallion main character has so many red flags, and his little sister is like Ning YingYing, and doomed to be the little sister/first wife trope of the insane main character, and he's doomed to be killed by his older brothers (because toxic masculinity?) so that his little sister has a sad back story and reason for revenge. He takes his little sister and they run away to the East, where they decide which sect to join, and settle on Yunmeng Jiang. Their entrance exam has them fight Wei Wuxian, and Madame Yu crashes the party and fights them all, and accepts them into the sect. Then they have a chapter where they fix up a house for them and the main character freaks out about the sad library there (because humidity) and plans to go on a spree, and the Jiang are not displeased to have a scholar that wants to make their library great. It wasn't finished, I think. @constellationcorrelation

[talk-danmei-to-me]

Hellooooo! For Danfic club (try and pry that name out of my cold dead hands!) I'd like to request...you can pick either...or both lol

1- Hualian AU, canon divergent, feat. 'The young soldier' Hua Cheng fucking the aphrodisiac's effect out of Xie Lian. Clumsy but rough sex please! Bottomlian!

2- Wangxian, canon divergent. Madam Lan lives and how it changes Lan Wangji as a person. Set in cloud recesses study arc. Maybe wangxian happen during the lectures? I want Madam Lan to be an amazing mom as well as someone who teases tf outta wangxian whenever she notices them making eyes at each other not knowing its a crush. She's their much needed braincell. Smut happening preferred, bottomxian please!

I am a massive fan of sex pollen, so I went with option 1... apologies I did tamper with the prompt a little to age up Hua Cheng. He's in his Wu Ming era rather than Hong Hong-er. Also any excuse to sneak in a bit of creep Jun Wu. Thanks for the prompt and enjoy!

...

'Abstinence is a waste of your time now, don't you think?'

The question haunted Xie Lian as his body succumbed to the effects of the pink hazy smoke White No-Face had blown into his lungs before he vanished. His body burned and his cock ached with unfulfilled need. Xie Lian panted beneath his mask, his breath hot and damp against his skin. Somehow, though his cultivation path demanded abstinence, it wasn't the first time he'd felt such an all consuming lust. His heart sank as he realised he'd been infected with Land of the Tender again.

Last time, his robes had been made of the purest silks. Now, they were rough fabric that caused delicious friction against his sensitive body every time he moved.

Xie Lian fumbled with the ties of his robe until he was able to tear them from his shoulders, they pooled on the ground. The cool air did nothing to soothe the heat raging within his body. What had he done last time... unable to hold his body up anymore he dropped to the floor. His eyes landed on his sword, propped against the wall across from him. Last time he'd stabbed himself. This time, Xie Lian had been stabbed too many times to bear another. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

'Your Highness!' Wu Ming rushed over to join Xie Lian on the floor. His masked face followed his gaze, 'You can't stab yourself this time. I won't let you.'

If Xie Lian had his wits, he would've found Wu Ming's words strange. Yet all he truly heard was that he wouldn't have to stab himself. His body turned pliant under Wu Ming's touch as he lifted him up and placed him in a sitting position. Despite the aphrodisiac burning up Xie Lian's body, Wu Ming's fingertips felt even more scalding. He rolled a nipple beneath his thumb and electricity coursed through Xie Lian's body. His hips bucked up of their own accord and a wanton moan escaped his lips. In a move that was almost tentative, Wu Ming raked his nails across Xie Lian's chest. It was too much and not enough at the same time. Xie Lian had already abandoned so many things, what hardship would it be to abandon one more? As Wu Ming explored his upper body, Xie Lian wrapped his fingers around his leaking cock and began to stroke himself.

He only managed a couple of strokes before Wu Ming's grasp tightened around his wrist, 'Your Highness, allow me.'

Unable to resist, Xie Lian dropped his hand and allowed Wu Ming to do whatever he wanted with him. Wu Ming's touch was clumsy at first, he gripped him too tightly, stroked him too aggressively. The Land of the Tender only served to increase the pleasure. The pain adding to the overall ecstasy Xie Lian felt from Wu Ming's ministrations. The mask on his face threatened to suffocate him as his breath hitched and his heart raced. With his free hand, Wu Ming curled a finger around the edge of the mask to remove it. An obstinate move, though Xie Lian had to admit, it was more comfortable. Without the mask, air could fill his lungs with abandon. His moans felt even more satisfying.

'Tell me what you want,' Wu Ming said, his pace turning frantic as he worked Xie Lian closer and closer to his first climax of the night.

'Anything... everything... make it stop hurting,' Xie Lian forced out between frantic pants.

Wu Ming nodded, toyed with Xie Lian's nipples with one hand as the other worked him until his release splattered across his stomach.

Xie Lian's moans of relief echoed around their hideout, but his cock remained half hard. He looked up at Wu Ming in a daze, 'More,' he begged.

Wu Ming wiped up the evidence of Xie Lian's climax, capturing it between his fingers before he flipped him over. Xie Lian gasped as his cock pressed against the mud floor. His body moved of his own accord and he rolled his hips against the floor seeking the friction that would bring him relief.

Suddenly an arm wrapped around his hips pinning him in place, 'Your Highness, allow me. Do not sully yourself this way.'

Xie Lian stilled and Wu Ming eased a finger within his entrance. His body jolted from the intrusion. He whimpered as Wu Ming added another finger, stretching his body for an unknown purpose. As Wu Ming's fingers pistoned within him Xie Lian found the burning sensation melding into a desire to be filled properly.

'Inside...' he gasped, 'put it inside.'

Wu Ming stilled in his actions, the second he withdrew his fingers, Xie Lian rolled over to see him better. Cautiously, he held his legs out of the way and offered Wu Ming his hole. After a moments fumbling to release his own cock, Wu Ming lined himself up and pushed inside. He set a punishing pace, thrusting into him with abandon, giving Xie Lian no time to think before his cock hit his prostate. Xie Lian gasped and moaned as Wu Ming embraced him, his mask dug into his shoulder hard enough to leave a bruise as they moved together in perfect rhythm, chasing relief. Xie Lian would be marked with the proof of what they had done long after the aphrodisiac had left his system. Wu Ming continued to fuck him into the floor as white clouded Xie Lian's vision. He felt the effects of the aphrodisiac start to fade as he was finally sated. He felt Wu Ming's cock throbbing within him as he hurtled towards his own release and wrapped his legs around him, holding him in place.

'Your Highness,' Wu Ming gasped.

'Inside,' Xie Lian said, digging his heels into  the crook of Wu Ming's back to punctuate his sentence.

Wu Ming nodded before he recklessly thrust into him, his moans deafening beside Xie Lian's ear as he spilled himself inside.

See? This is the type of Caiyi outings/shenanigans in the Cloud Recesses Study!Era we deserved

[asksythe]

idr if that's drama only, but didn't WWX memorize the Lan rules at least in CQL? or did he cite only the confucian ones back at Wen Chao?

... I apologize, but I must confess... this is why I am not a fan of the live action series.

The liveaction, Chenqingling or the Untamed as it is known in the international market, gave us some of the best rendition of characters and amazing chemistry between the two leads, Lan Wangji by Wang Yibo and Wei Wuxian by Xiao Zhan.

That does not erase the fact that it absolutely butchers the nuances, details, and deeper themes from the book (and the fact that Lan Wangji let Wei Wuxian left at the end of the TV show. What the absolute flying fuck?!!!).

It's an ok show by its own merits. But it absolutely is not faithful to the book... by a very large degree. This is not its fault. TV Shows and series have to abide by extremely strict censorship laws in China. It's not a secret that the film crew did what they could.

That said, in the Chinese fandom, Chenqingling is Chenqingling. MDZS is MDZS. The one is not the other. Chenqingling is not counted and categorized in the MDZS tag in Chinese fandom. The distinction is very clear. There have been more fandom wars than I care to count just because people try to toe the line or purposefully mistag.

In any case, to answer your question. No, Wei Wuxian did not cite Lan rules or any rules at all at Wen Zhao during Xuanwu cave.

What he cited was a line from a book called 温门精華录 （Wen Men Qing Hua Lu. Lit: Collection of House Wen Essence). This book was issued by House Wen to all the people forced to take part in their education camp. The book, as the name suggests and the novel describes in detail, is a collection of famous sayings by the best and most famous cultivators from House Wen, chief among them is Wen Mao, the founder of House Wen and the man who started the era of Cultivator House (and not Sect, as the common mistranslation in the international fandom).

Wei Wuxian quoted a line from Wen Mao himself from that book, provoking Wen Zhao into saying such a line is 'dog's fart.' That is the trick. It was Wen Zhao who forced that book on the people of the education camp and demanded them all to memorize the lines in there and be in awe at House Wen's greatness. So in one move, Wen Zhao not only revealed he himself knew shit all about the sayings of his own House, but he also insulted the founder of his own house, his own ancestor. According to the novel, this was a crime punishable by death for all those who belong to House Wen. Insulting the very founder of that House himself.

It's a detail in the book that shows not only is Wei Ying extremely smart, he's also very cultured (and very creative) even when he's insulting somebody. He's not the type to resort to crude curses.

So no, it has nothing to do with Lan's House Rule (Which seems to be another common misunderstanding in the international fandom. The Lan rules are their own House Rules. It's in the name itself. 傢規 . House Rules. The only people who have to abide by those rules are members of House Lan, or students while they studying in Cloud Recess. That's why Wei Wuxian said, why does he have to learn the rules? He's not about to be married into House Lan. So technically, he only has to abide them within reasons why he was there. House Lan do not seek to impose their own rules on anyone else. That would be tyranny and the very same thing the Wen tried to do.)

Fentao-laoshi’s Guide to Cut-Sleeve Pleasures

wangxian | rated E | CR study era pining while fucking

Word Count: 31K Summary: Lan Wangji says, “I am also looking to...gain practical experience. It seemed mutually advantageous.”

“Mutually advantageous,” Wei Wuxian echoes. “Wait. Do you mean I’d get to...?”

Lan Wangji stares at him.

“Practice — on you?” Wei Wuxian finishes, his eyes round with disbelief.

—

During a shared summer studying in the Cloud Recesses, Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian diligently pursue an informed sexual education. What could possibly be the harm in some mutual learning?

Twenty Questions for Fic Writers

Tagged by @extraordinarilyextreme, 谢谢

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

On my current account, 25! (not counting everything from my old account I deleted in 2020)

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

On said current account, 53,972

What fandoms do you write for?

As of right now the brainrot has taken me to MLC, and if I ever get my motivation back, then also DMBJ

What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

1. The War Is Over, And We Are Beginning - Jiang Cheng & Jin Ling, 7.6k, Post-Canon

2. all of this mess (is just my attempt) - Chengning, 2.6k, Cloud Recesses

3. hold the world to its best - Jiang Cheng, 859, Long After Canon

4. won't run away (we're here to stay) - Chengning, 3.5k, Post-Canon

5. welcome to the storm - Jiang Cheng, 1.6k, Fall of Lotus Pier

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I try to, but god help the ADHD. I read and cherish every one I get though, I promise!!

What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

It's either didn't want us to burn out, which was canon timeline Chengxuan, or come back and haunt me, which was canon timeline Sangyu. I think I'll go with the latter. It had more tragedy about identity and memory, I think

(There's also one Hamlet fic I'm proud of, but that was a one-off I wrote. You can go find it if you want)

What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Oh boy, uhhhhhhh. Out of the stuff currently associated with me, it'll be one of the Chengning fics, I think, or my aro!Wei Wuxian Ningxian fic. Not gonna lie it's slim pickings for happy endings around here haha

Do you get hate on fics?

No, thank god. I was always too much of a small fic writer for that.

Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Hahaha, not really. I'll do handwavey and fade to black but that's about it. Might get there one day though!

Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

Nope, not a crossover person unfortunately unless you want to count the sins on my old laptop from my superwholock era (I don't)

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Ehhhhh..... as of recently, ideas yes but actual written fics, not that I'm aware of

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes! A couple of my MDZS fics and one MCU fic back in the day got translated into Russian

What's your all-time favorite ship?

Bestie I live in multishipper hell you can't make me decide

What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

Basically every DMBJ wip at this point in time, but particularly the one I'm furthest along on that I do not have a working title for other than 'horrible huaxie backstory'. My relationship with DMBJ has changed a LOT since getting into it this year and now my hyperfixation is somewhere else, so who knows what'll happen *shrugs*

What are your writing strengths?

I've been told my narration has a distinctive voice to it, and I think that's what people tend to compliment most? Dialogue is also something I've tried to consciously work on over the years, and I don't know that it stands out as a strength necessarily but it's almost something I find easy to write these days if I'm in the swing of it

What are your writing weaknesses?

Action and smut. Basically don't make me mentally choreograph complex stuff

Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

Now that my Mandarin has improved after two years of study, I think writing bilingual fic could be fun. There's definitely dialogue I've thought up in Mandarin for C-Drama characters that just won't have the same impact in English, and it's a shame I can't just casually drop it into a fic untranslated and be done with it

First fandom you wrote for?

First fics I ever wrote were for Star Wars and they were written longhand into a horrid little hipster notebook from Indigo. The first fics I posted on Ao3 were for the MCU though

Favorite fic you've written?

Nah I'm not choosing on this, I have no idea <3

Tagging @nutcasewithaknife, @eirenical, and @ilgaksu (only if you want to and apologies if you've already done this 😅)

By pre-Sunshot I mean the burning of Cloud Recesses and Lotus Pier and the indoctrination all together.

Discarded Flowers by Admiranda

Discarded Flowers

by Admiranda

G, 3k, wangxian

Summary: The magnolias are in bloom. Lan Wangji knows this. Wei Ying did not need to bring him one of the flowers as proof that they were in bloom. Not when that made him late to his punishment.

Kay's comments: Lovely canon-compliant story that features Lan Wangji's POV on one of their afternoons in the library during the Cloud Recesses study arc, when he was overseeing Wei Wuxian's punishment. I especially loved how natural it felt. Teenage Lan Wangji and that crush he isn't quite ready to acknowledge yet; I love him.

Excerpt: The pale petals sagged and wilted under the ministrations of the Yunmeng Jiang disciple. It was a fine blossom that had been plucked before its time from the tree, to be carelessly played with and discarded when the player became bored. Lan Wangji felt some kinship with the flower in that sense.

[sorrowschengmei]

something super random that i love to fantasize about:

modern archaelogists and historians trying to understand who were the CQL characters in an alternate reality the events of the show happened for real in Chinese history

-Meng Yao would be a historian's favourite bc there would be SO MUCH about his life. not only we'd have faithful, contemporary portraits of his likeness, all his social ascension and battles and everything would be documented. he'd definitely become the star of a... period drama!

-Wei Wuxian would be as polarising as he was in life. there are records about him being handsome, but why the only portraits of him we have are of ugly, demonic bald men? was the Yiling Laozu a class conscious hero ahead of his time or a sadistic tyrant?

-the Lans would be also quite well documented... from around CQL's time forward. historians would lament the tragic loss of documents in the Cloud Recesses incident. still, the clan's preceits would be a goldmine to understand customs of the period.

-the handsome portrait of Lan Wangji made by Wei Wuxian would grant him some fancy nickname among historians [and tumblr millennials with thirst for historical figures] and likely a cultlike following

-the Wen would become a big ass void in the studies of this era. most information about them would come from HELLA biased sources, damaged artifacts and fragments of bone. that would inspire some Western who works for History Channel to make a show 'The Lost Legacy of the Wen'

-the Jiang could go two ways: famed and well documented by their descendants who kept all the remaining documents and artifacts, or just a void like the Wen. the Lotus Pier Massacre would go down as a major event, and possibly inspire a lot of modern artists and showrunners

-the Nie would reach our times involved in mysteries. the Unclean Realm would become a visitation place, but much of the history of its former inhabitants would be hard to understand. why they always die early? what happened to Red Blade Master? was Nie Huaisang a cultivator?

-nobody would know what happened at Yi City. the area has bad feng shui, so it would remain almost untouched until the 20th century, and become subject of all sort of ghost stories. there would be found the bones of a malnourished teen girl, a young man with injured  orbital bones, and another young man with a malformation on his left hand indicating he suffered an injury in childhood that left him disabled.

-some historians would attribute these bones to the infamous Xue Yang, said to have murdered 50 people in one night at age 15 and other  legendary and ahistorical rumours. many people would believe he never existed at all, as there's no mention to his name in any official document-- the only Xue Yang recorded was accused and then released, probably some unfortunate innocent who shared a name with the myth. there would be, however, records of a Xue Chengmei working at Jinlintai in a particularly gruesome era of the clan... 

-talking of other Jins, they'd be also well documented. Jinlintai itself would probably become a touristic attraction, and be used to film period drama

6. Greetings and thanks for all you do! I seem to have read a lot of fics lately that are not JC or JYL friendly. It's gotten me down and I'd vowed to skip those for awhile.

Marry In by Tuesday

In which Wei Wuxian goes on a journey of accidental self-discovery, and Lan Wangji is not prepared to meet Wei Wuxian this early on. Also, less importantly, there is a night hunt.

Wei Laoshi, Poonslayer by FeelsForBreakfast

Lan Wangji comes to two conclusions, almost simultaneously. The first, is that Nie Huaisang is messing with Wei Ying. The second, is that Wei Ying has never had sex in his life.

Or: Lan Wangji goes to Yunmeng, realizes that Wei Ying is a virgin, and takes decisive action.

Summertime Living by MadamMistress

It's summertime, and the dreaming is easy. The living? a little more complicated

Rest My Chemistry by ilip13

"I always thought, if I ever did run across a s— a se— a, a, a dirty curse," Wei Ying’s words come rushing out, mortified, and Lan Wangji feels a sudden surge of smugness, recalling how Wei Ying had teased him in the library.

"A sex curse." He says the words as drily as he can.

Wei Ying squeaks. "Ack! Yes, a, a sex curse!" Despite his clear embarrassment, his hand seems to be glued to the inside of his pants. Lan Wangji wants to devour all of him. "I always thought that if I ended up in that situation it’d be fun? I’m very good at… at… that. Usually. I didn’t think the curse would make it so that I couldn’t finish!"

Lan Wangji finds Wei Ying wandering the back hills, cursed.

when you love somebody, bite your tongue by sophiahelix

“Because Wei Wuxian is absolutely without shame, on the very day after their confrontation in the library Lan Wangji finds him poring over yet another filthy piece of literature with his useless friend Nie Huaisang, both of them giggling like fools.

Where do they even get these things from, Lan Wangji wonders, and then shakes his head, minutely. Of course two such unfocused degenerates would be more interested in smuggling pornography into Cloud Recesses than developing their cultivation. Here they have the opportunity to learn from the best teachers Gusu has to offer, and they would rather waste their time and spiritual energy on total decadence.

And besides, the artwork isn’t even that good.”

Teen Lan Wangji learns some unexpected things about Wei Wuxian, burns with the purest horny fury, and is forced to share a bed on three separate occasions, with predictable results

Become Tomorrow by ShanaStoryteller

Wei Wuxian gets caught sneaking into Cloud Recesses.

But since he can't tell the truth - that he's just here to deliver his teacher's most recent love letter to her soulmate who's stuck in a cave - he tells a lie instead. He says that he's a Jiang disciple that had arrived late and so had snuck in through the gates. He hadn't expected the lie to work, sure that it would unravel as soon as they found a Jiang to verify it, but instead Jiang Yanli backs up his story, and even adds to it.

Which is how he ends up masquerading as the first disciple of Lotus Pier while trying to figure out how to get out of Cloud Recesses without anyone discovering that he's the disciple of Baoshan Sanren

In Sleep, We by diamondbruise

Wei Wuxian couldn’t help but feel a bit fond, even despite the embarrassment. Hadn’t he just done that a second ago? They were both playing bashful, even when this was just something Wei Wuxian’s mind had come up with.

He licked his lips. “It’s fine. It’s not real.”

Lan Zhan nodded slowly. “This is a dream.”

“Yeah,” Wei Wuxian said, then firmer: “Yes. No harm done. You can eye me up.”

one four three by lazulink

“Ahaha, Lan Zhan, why? You couldn’t possibly have unrequited feelings for someone. Who could look at the beautiful and impressive Hanguang-jun and not immediately fall to their knees, begging for just a glance, just a moment of your time?”

Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji take on a spirit whose deepest wish is to matchmake

The Dare by deastar

Accepted wisdom says a beta is not physically capable of keeping up with an omega in heat. Wei Wuxian dares Lan Wangji to attempt the impossible

I hope you enjoy them!
