Consequences, by Remma3760 (32 chapters)

Madam Yu uses Zidian on child Wei Ying. There are consequences.

that is a door, by ShanaStoryteller

It's a terrible plan. Wen Qing doesn't have to agree to it.

She does anyway.

Explicit:

Thief's kiss, by danegen

"This time, I’ll run, and you can chase me.”

Lan Zhan’s eyelashes flutter in delicate, adorable confusion. “When I catch you . . .”

“If you catch me.” Wei Wuxian wags a finger at him. “If you catch me, you can do whatever you want.”

That makes . . . something happen on Lan Zhan’s face. Something that makes Wei Wuxian shiver.

Wei Wuxian accidentally tells Lan Wangji about their strange game of chase that night at the inn. His solution to this predicament? Obviously, they need to play again!

Copying Scriptures, by chiyukimei (6 chapters)

Wei Wuxian is never taken in by anyone, but he carves himself a place in a world that coexists with the cultivation sects. Everyone has a lot to say about Counselor Wei's past, yet he is the only one who knows what he has been through.

Written for Wei Wuxian's birthday event, for the genius WWX prompt!

Wei Wuxian November Mayhem

desiderium, by 1littlerabbit1

desiderium

An ardent desire or longing.

Especially: a feeling of loss or grief for something lost.

Not that anything has been lost between Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji... right? It's just that he can't help but be a little jealous that Mo Xuanyu could get a reaction when he'd never been able to. That's all.

A Matter of Devotion, by mrcformoso (3rd in a series)

Lan Zhan vowed, the moment the time travel array reunited him with Wei Ying, that no harm will come to his zhiji. That his zhiji will be afforded every opportunity to succeed, will be given safety and security, will always live within Lan Zhan’s line of sight. He was prepared to kill and manipulate the people around him. He was prepared to go against propriety to tie Wei Ying to himself. He was prepared to do whatever it takes to rebuild the world to one that Wei Ying deserves.

At the end of it all, he had succeeded.

But Wei Ying was different. He was everything Lan Zhan raised him to be, everything that Lan Zhan wanted, and he couldn’t help but wonder…if Wei Ying remembered his past life, would he hate Lan Zhan? Would he hate what he had become?

Mature:

two phrases you'll say, by hauntedotamatone (4 chapters)

“Don’t pull that out!” Wen Qing yells, and she is right to do so. Wei Wuxian already has one hand on the shaft sticking out of his abdomen. His eyes are glazed over and his mouth is slack with shock, but he obeys anyway, lifting both of his hands and letting them drop to his sides. All he does is blink a few times.

“Ah…, I’ve been stuck before. It’s not even that deep.”

“Wei Wuxian!”

He takes one step and half of another before his legs simply stop working and fold beneath him.

An unexpected attack on the fringes of the Burial Mounds reminds Wen Qing how thin the thread holding their lives together truly is and just how easily it could be snipped.

Pushed to the very fringes of the world she once knew and made to rely on someone else, her healer's hands no longer feel so clean.

Something is wrong with A-Zhan!, by HeloSoph (🔒, 6 chapters)

Something is very wrong with Lan Xichen's younger brother.

First, he didn't wake up at his usual time.

Then, when he did wake up, he called him xiongzhang.

And as if that wasn't enough, he hugged him!

A-Zhan, the boy who hates physical contact since their mother's passing, hugged his brother on his own accord!

And as if the day couldn't get weirder-

“A-Zhan.”

“Yes, shufu.”

“What did shufu say before he let you and your dada go?”

“To get something we like.”

“And what did A-Zhan do?”

“A-Zhan likes Wei Ying.”

Lan Qiren’s eye twitched again.

OR: Lan Wangji time travels and decides to change everything.

Looked so alive, turns out i'm not real, by KatAnni (9 chapters)

"Nothing leaves the Burial Mounds alive."

Lan Wangji goes on a side mission night hunt with Wei Wuxian during the Sunshot Campaign, and finds out just how true that statement is. Inquiry rings through the room, and Wei Wuxian answers.

This of course, has consequences.

Unfinished

Not Rated:

If You Forget Me, by DivideTheSorrow

Wei Wuxian creates an array that allows him to travel back in time. He returns to his student days at the Cloud Recesses not only to fix the past, but to prevent a great catastrophe that takes place in his future.

But what could have happened to cause Wei Wuxian to lose his smile? What great betrayal occurred that he is reluctant to speak of?

Why does the future Wei Wuxian hate the Second Jade of Lan?

well-met by warlight, by wukuiyuxin

I met him in moonlight; first-met by starlight

He fled me and fought me; and chasing I fell.

I met him, I matched him; astonished I watched him

Unarmed, unhanded; and bested so well.

wangxian, but make it GERMANIC BATTLE POETRY (with a contemporary twist)

Explicit:

The Threads of Fate, by WaitForTheSnitch

“What would you do if you could have him back?” Nie Huaisang asked him, a bit too seriously as he leaned forward.

“There is no way for a dead cultivator to return,” Jiang Cheng scoffed, not even willing to entertain the thought.

“Perhaps, perhaps not,” Nie Huaisang shrugged, “Even if he came back, that wouldn’t do much to help, would it? Your sister is still gone. His reputation still damaged.”

“Stop speaking in riddles,” Jiang Wanyin growled, “What did you come here for, Nie Huaisang?”

“I asked you what you would do for your brother back,” Nie Huaisang started, “I would do anything to have mine back, Jiang Wanyin. And I’m here to offer you that same choice. Because our brothers’ deaths never should have happened. They happened because of schemes and plots. They happened because of lies and deception. Your brother was made to be a villain and was led to his death because he was too powerful. Mine was murdered because he stood in the way of Jin Guangshan.”

There's nothing Jiang Cheng wouldn't do to have his siblings back. And when Nie Huaisang comes to him with a proposal to save them by changing everything, he doesn't even hesitate to agree.

Only with Time, by adrian_kres (🔒)

Thirteen years ago, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji were arranged to be married as is tradition. Throughout their thirteen-year-long "courtship," things were not always as they seemed. Now, newly married, old secrets have ripped open wounds they thought were closed, and they must work together to rebuild a trust they never had and a love they always did but couldn't see.

Told from alternating points of view between LWJ and WWX with frequent flashbacks to memories of their "courtship".

The "Patriarch" Was Supposed to be Ironic (or, Wei Wuxian, Chief Cultivator), by groignequi

Wei Wuxian makes a wish he didn't intend; Lan Wangji creates a path forward.

___

The form flickers, letting curls of smoke form something like a smile, and responds, “What is it you want, patriarch?”

And Wei Wuxian, incautious at the wrong (the right) moment, says “A way to fix all of it.”

He hears the reply: “As you wish.”

He knows he’s made a mistake the second the form disperses, moving too fast and in too many directions to be called back and subdued.

___

Only a few hours later, in Koi Tower, a visiting handmaid finds her madam crying over rumors about her daughter’s marriage.

Mature:

Army Dreamers, by Forever_Marie

Lan Wangji finds Wei Wuxian in the field with strangle marks and other horrible injuries after Lotus Pier falls.

He takes him back to Gusu.

(一日三秋) One day (seems like) three autumns, by SpicyRamen_10969

13 Years ago, Wei Ying disappeared.

13 years later, two teenage boys find a man collapsed and bleeding on the side of the road.

This is the story of how Wei Ying finds himself going from homeless to living with his childhood best friend, Lan Wangji, and finally getting the help and love he needs and deserves.

(Un)Hidden truth, by Sarah_R

After watching his husband; his son; nephew; brother and little radishes dying in front of him one by one because of a source of resentful energy; Wei WuXian dies too as he destroys it.

But instead of darkness; he finds himself back in the past when he had just gotten kicked out of the cloud recess and everything looks so peaceful he can’t stand it. No…no no no he really can’t go through this hell again. Not again. Not after everything was supposed to be over.

Not knowing that Lan WangJi has been thrown back in time as well; he tries; and fails at taking his own life by slitting his throat open in the middle of lotus pier and so; he decides to show everyone the future.

If he’s going to live this hell again; he’s going to change it and if these people are suddenly so determined to keep him alive; then he’s not going to let them die either.

It doesn’t matter if they end up hating him just as much as he hates himself.

(Or; another time travel fix-it which happens to be a watching the show fic as well! With our favorite baby boy and his husband; all their ducklings and their very much alive family and friends from the past.)

travelers through the empty gate, by stiltonbasket

Ten years after eliminating the Jiang and Nie clans, Emperor Wen Ruohan is dethroned by a young demonic cultivator from the outlands of Yiling, who surpasses him in both talent and cruelty. Where Wen Ruohan burned his enemies, Emperor Yiling raises his from the dead, and sends them through the imperial city to hunt down every last remnant of the Wen clan that tries to evade his clutches.

The last thing Lan Wangji wants to do with the Yiling huangdi is marry him.

Unfortunately, his family's fall from grace leaves him with no other choice.

A heart wrenching missing scene at the Burial Mounds from Wen Qing's perspective. Harrowing, emotional, and just fantastic.

would you happen to have any recs for gender fuckery fic featuring lwj rather than wwx?

Not as much because I tend to prefer to toss the genderqueer experience at WWX, but I do have some lovely queer LWJ fic recs, be that as a trans, gender swap or just something undefinable.

you can always find me here by ScarlettStorm

Wei Wuxian doesn’t know how they got here sometimes.

Okay, like, yes, she knows how they got here (this village, this town, this forest, this city), and she knows how they got here (riding on a horrible donkey she’s decided she can’t bear to part with, Lan Zhan walking beside her leading said donkey by the reins, because of course Wei Wuxian’s donkey likes Lan Zhan more than her. She can’t blame Lil’ Apple! She also likes Lan Zhan more than she likes herself!), but it’s how she got here in the larger metaphysical sense that she doesn’t understand. There were thirteen years where she wasn’t here, after all, and very many places in the past year where she could have ended up not here again, but somehow she’s here, and—miracle of miracles—so is Lan Zhan.

Really, it’s the Lan Zhan part that she still struggles to understand.

Or: The inevitable post-canon get together... But make it extra queer lesbians.

brittle bones by lithali

Wei Wuxian dies in Xuanwu's Cave.

That changes things.

mirror, mirror by hauntedotamatone

Some people take him at his word, believing that they must have heard wrong about the child Jiang Fengmian had taken in all those years ago. They haven’t exactly heard wrong, but he isn’t lying either.

The first time Jiang-shushu had introduced him as the son of Wei Changze and Cangse Sanren, he had thought his face would split from the force of his smile. No one had argued with the sect leader, but Wei Wuxian is not a sect leader, and those of Gusu Lan do not seem to take kindly to any sort of correction. At least, if their esteemed teacher and acting sect leader is anything to go by.

or; Wei Wuxian attempts to sneak into the Cloud Recesses for a very different reason.

The Naming of Small Things by BromeliadDreams

Lan Wangji has known all his life that he is destined for some book-lined office, for publication credits and funding awards, the grown-up versions of school prizes for academic achievement. The prospect has, for the most part, been comforting. But as the academic year wears on, he finds his work increasingly taking a backseat to Wen Qing's plans to unseat, or at least unsettle, their Head of Faculty, and Lan Wangji begins to look beyond the library walls. (Any influence from local chaos gremlin Wei Wuxian will not be acknowledged at this time, thank you very much.)

Or: maybe the real academic networking was all the groupchats we were added to along the way.

A Promise Lives Within You Now by ElvenQueens

When Lan Wangji left the cave of the Xuanwu of slaughter and returned to her sect, she knew that the world as she knew it had come to a breaking point, she just didn't know the changes it would entail. When she left the Xuanwu cave, she and Wei Ying were still girls, but in the face of war and the devastation and destruction it wrought, they had been forced to grow up faster than they should and take on roles earlier than they had planned. If there is one thing these lessons have taught her, it is that sometimes one needs to stop and offer a helping hand.

conspecific sisters we by wildwestwind

Lan Wangji grows up trans in a society which has no words for her experiences.

a heroine that is called devil by SpeedingCheetah

The Yiling Patriarch was a woman, and she bared her teeth to every man to come and beg for her help in the midst of a campaign deigned to fail. Coming to the war with skin exposed and her neck open for any blade to cut, the matriarch asked for one thing for her payment of the war: the blood of an heir written across her chest as a promise.

(or: two cultivators come to face one another under a blood red moon, in the middle of the war of their lifetimes.)

The Amber Hairpin by may10baby

Lan Zhan took a moment to unwrap the delicate paper patterned with clouds. Inside was a silver hairpin, an amber stone nestled in the end, limbs of silver delicately wrapped around it, etched in a floral design. It was beautiful and very expensive for a servant’s son. She looked up at Wei Ying in question, who blushed.

“When I wrote to my parents about jiejie, I mentioned how pretty jiejie’s eyes were, so my parents sent back the amber? Apparently, they were offered it as a gift for helping with a night hunt years ago and the uncle and auntie in the night market offered to make it into a hairpin if I spent the past few weeks helping out at the store and-”

Lan Zhan calmly slipped the hairpin into her hair, before grabbing Wei Ying by the arm and yanking him inside the Jingshi.

fateful shipwreck, suspended time by dottie_dramas (dottie_wan_kenobi)

Once, when Lan Wangji is thirteen years old, he finds himself in his brother’s office.

It’s not a particularly comfortable place for Lan Wangji, but it’s better than most. On this day, it provides what Lan Wangji needs—privacy. Structure. And most importantly, his brother.

“Wangji, you don’t have to ask for a formal meeting just to see me,” Xiongzhang says, both amused and curious as Lan Wangji kneels down in front of him. Holding his brush steady, Lan Xichen smiles kindly. “I am at my didi’s disposal whenever he should have need of me.”

---

3 moments in Lan Wangji's queer journey; coming out, falling in love, and accepting a part of himself

This is for my mother, and this is for me by LuxRoyalty (luxroyalty)

Rules are important, and you should listen to them, but somethings are more important still,” Madam Lan easily said, like it wasn’t blasphemy against the Wall of Discipline that her uncle had been careful to teach her. “I want you to be safe, A-Zhan, above everything else. Do you understand?”

She thought about it, forehead creasing, and eventually shook her head. “No.” she told her, and her mother didn’t scold her like some of her teachers did.

“That’s alright,” her mother softly said, “you can learn. Just you, A-Huan won’t need to understand this, and you can’t tell him, or anyone else.”

“Or I won’t be safe?” she asked, trying to figure out the path of logic.

Madam Lan smiled gently, “close. Sometimes, last measures need to be secret to work the best.”

Lan Zhan is born female. This changes things, but more things stay the same.

flowers from ash by hauntedotamatone

There is the matter of a certain individual.” “That Wei Ying from YunmengJiang.”

A protracted Sunshot campaign spanning six years ends in a victory hardly worth the cost. With the former Five Great Sects whittled down to three, two of which have been devastated, the Jin Sect seeks to hang itself up in the place of the sun.

The first step in their climb to power is to get the woman who killed Wen Ruohan from within his own palace well out of the way. Lan Zhan is not someone who schemes, but she cannot allow Wei Ying to meet such a fate.

That she has loved her since they were fifteen is secondary.

also here's my favorite fic that explores this further

i'm still thinking about wen ning's resurrection scene. it's definitely a tragedy - a kind, quiet boy being turned into a violent monster, a healer's hands getting covered in blood - and it's fair to suggest that doing this to wen ning was messed up (wei wuxian admits this himself). the untamed leaned even harder into this, with wen qing's desperate cries of "stop it, enough" while wei wuxian was playing the flute, guiding her brother to kill his murderers.

and yet, i'm obsessed with how it went in the novel:

He suddenly spun around, putting his hand on Wen Ning’s shoulder before shouting, “Wen Qionglin!” As if a reply, Wen Ning let out a long, thundering roar. The ears of everyone within the valley ached. Wei Wuxian spoke one word at a time, “Whoever caused all of you to be like this, let them meet the same end. I give you the right to do so. Settle everything!”

wen ning is not really there anymore - barely a shadow of his former self, lingering in his dead body, and what's remaining is mostly rage, with added bloodlust. he's not acting the way he would if he were alive, he cannot make conscious decisions anymore, and wei wuxian is obviously holding his strings. and yet, wei wuxian doesn't really give him an order to tear the overseers apart. wei wuxian gives him permission.

in this lifetime by hauntedotamatone / @hauntotamatone

mature | 2.5k | wangxian | complete | nightmares

Lan Wangji must reach him. There is still time. All he has to do is reach him. They’ll take A-Yuan and whoever remains and they’ll go as far and fast as they can. The world is vast, there must be a place for them somewhere, and if there is not, then he will carve one out from nothing if that is what it will take.

“Wei Ying!” he calls out to him over the roar of the flames and the familiar and terrible sounds of battle. At first, he thinks that Wei Ying is ignoring him or otherwise does not hear him. Then, his fingers still over his flute. He looks up with those empty eyes, unseeing. There is no hatred in them, but there is no affection or recognition either. There is nothing at all.

Lan Wangji has a terrible nightmare for the first time in years. For the first time in years, he does not wake up alone.

Dee’s thoughts - One of my favorite authors. This is a very well-written fic where LWJ has a nightmare. His voice is so clear and intense. The nightmare is horrifying, the relief when he wakes up to WWX in their marriage bed is beautiful. This one really hit the feels.

Ju’s thoughts - LWJ has a very vivid nightmare of when WWX died, and that he couldn't do anything to help. The nightmare is heartbreaking and horrifying. But then he wakes up to his husband, and to his heartbeat. It is a very beautiful story. Super recommend it. As heartbreaking as it starts, the ending is so very soft. Dee is right, this one really hits the feels.

Author’s tags: Post-Canon, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Canon-Typical Violence, Nightmares, Cuddling & Snuggling, referenced corporal punishment, Past Character Death, m for nightmare imagery

RELATIONSHIPS: Lan Wangji / Wei Wuxian BLURB: post-canon, wwx twists his ankle

SUMMARY:

What luck to make it through a nighthunt perfectly unscathed and then roll his ankle in an animal burrow just outside of the inn’s stable.

“Mmph!” is not what he thinks at the moment, but it’s what comes out of his mouth after a brief pause for an internal scream. There are people, children among them, still on the street and as a general rule he tries to keep the grown-up words to a minimum in public.

~ JC-Negative Fic Rec List ~

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ One-shots ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Since there aren't many MDZS fic rec lists that cater exclusively to those of us who dislike Jiang Cheng, I decided to make my own. This is the first of three lists on this theme - which will all be linked to a master-post - for one-shots, complete multi-chapter fics, and ongoing WIPs.

These are all the fics I've found to date which portray Jiang Cheng in a negative context. Not fics which don't mention him at all; but fics which actually portray him as his canonical self, and/or engage in JC-bashing. Not all of them bash him; but none of them engage in JC-whitewashing.

Each rec is listed with the story title/link, author, rating, chapter total/completion status, official summary, warnings, my personal summary/notes, comments on how JC appears in any additional MDZS fics by that author (if I had time or it was applicable), story setting, and word count. All fics feature a WangXian pairing unless otherwise stated.

If anyone knows of any other JC-Critical MDZS fics which are not included on this list, I'd be thrilled to hear about them. I will continue to update this list as I find good additions to it.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Blood On The Ground by Mondengel (Rated T)

Author's Summary: Lan Wangji is fresh from his sickbed and in no mood to be polite.

My Summary: LXC very foolishly leads the visiting Sect Leaders JC, NMJ, & sworn brother JGY on a walk past a fresh-from-seclusion LWJ. LWJ burns JC & roasts JGY.

(Written by an excellent author; who sadly does not typically write non-JC positive fics, so this was a rare treat.)

Set Mid-Canon (during the 13 years post-seige); 1255 words

of past and present by Here_For_This (This_Rocks_My_Socks) (Rated T)

Author's Summary: Jin Ling and Wei Wuxian talk.

It goes relatively well.

Warnings: Discussions entailing the deaths of both JZX and JYL, implied/referenced child abuse, implied sibling abuse, torture both physical and psychological, murder, blatantly calling out of JC for only SOME of what he does, blatant self indulgence, and a tinge of salt.

My Summary: This is literally the only post-canon MDZS fic I have ever read (at the time I bookmarked it) that not only properly characterises JC's relationship with WWX, but calls it and him for what they are - a toxic relationship between an abuser and his victim. Being abused yourself is no excuse for perpetuating that behaviour against others; especially as a grown up adult who has no excuse for not even trying to control himself.

WWX talking about how you shouldn't have to put up with abuse, even from someone you love; even if they love you... was just phenomenal. As a survivor of abuse, this fic is everything I ever needed and wanted from a post-canon fic that mentions JC in this fandom.

Set Post-Canon/Canon Compliant; 6641 words

keeping score by hauntedotamatone (Rated T)

Author's Summary: “You look like him, you know.”

“Forgive me, this disciple doesn’t understand your meaning.” Sizhui only knows that it is not a compliment. Sect Leader Jiang, as far as he knows, does not give compliments, not even to Jin Ling.

“Ghost General,” he practically spits. “I should have seen it sooner.”

A confrontation at Koi Tower, followed by a confrontation at Koi Tower.

My Summary: WWX may not have fully grasped how horrible a person JC is before now, or how little he ever deserved JC's treatment himself; but nobody targets his son. No one.

Set Post-Canon/Canon Compliant; 6700 words.

Remember, Remember by Izzyaro (Isilarma) (Rated T)

Author's Summary: Lan Sizhui has always been wary of Sect Leader Jiang, but could never quite explain why.

Now, he remembers.

My Summary: An amazing and realistic exploration of Post-Canon LSZ's thoughts, opinions, and attitudes of and towards JC.

Set Post-Canon/Canon Compliant; 1724 words.

on the importance of restraint (or lack thereof) by nixtothou (Rated T)

Author's Summary: Lan Sizhui does not usually find himself in the company of Sect Leader Jiang.

Suffice to say, Lan Sizhui's feelings toward him are conflicted.

My Summary: As the author says in the tags - LSZ deserves to snap.

Set Post-Canon/Canon Compliant; 3723 words.

Bloom and Wilt by simply_mad (Rated G)

Author's Summary: Counting the seasons was easier than counting the years that had passed. That didn't mean it was easier to wait.

My Summary: This is a sweet little WangXian ficlet from LWJ's POV. It doesn't really bash JC; he just shows up for a couple of sentences as his canonical self and then becomes completely irrelevent.

Canon Compliant, set during the 13 years of WWX's death; 2070 words.

If They Began Dating At 15 (Translation)by Rurella (Rated T)

Author's Summary: What if Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji got together when they were 15?

My Summary: This is an english translation of short little chinese fanfic from fairly early on in the fandom. It's cute and lighthearted, and actually pretty funny.

The author doesn't bash JC; just writes him with his canon teenage characterization and makes him suffer. (Which amuses me.) He doesn't seem particularly homophobic in this - his attitude comes across as being more due to a combination of objecting to WWX's love life in particular; rather than gay relationships in general, as well as getting upset over the fact that he keeps walking in on WangXian and it's driving him crazy.

It's sort of hilarious b/c WangXian are just doing their thing; meanwhile everywhere JC goes he just keeps accidentally walking in on them, and everything he tries to take revenge on or discourage them backfires on him. Sometimes it's just fun to read about a JC who is NOT at his post-canon level of assholeness; just the teenage one, who's constantly being made miserable in a humorous way without anyone else noticing or caring.

Canon Divergence, set during and after the Cloud Recesses Study Arc; 5207 words.

Quiet by waterrain (Rated M)

Author's Summary: Jiang Cheng acts on an impulse and Wei WuXian is deeply hurt by it.

Warnings: Forced kiss, sexual harrassment/assault, victim blaming, implications of sexual assault/rape (rape DOES NOT ACTUALLY HAPPEN; it's a misunderstanding)

My Summary: JC attacks WWX; pinning him to his bed and kissing him against his will. Then victim-blames him for it, saying that it's WWX's own fault for never shutting up. Afterwards WWX understandably reacts to him like a victim of assault; but because he's trying to keep JC from getting into trouble he doesn't explain anything to anyone, and everyone ends up assuming JC raped him.

The story itself isn't funny at all; but I find the concept behind it hilarious - that WWX's attempt to protect JC from the consequences of mistreating him backfired so badly; that it resulted in everyone hating JC and thinking he did something even worse than the original very shitty thing he did do. I now really want to read a humorous fic based on that premise.

Author does not actually engage in very much intentional or actual JC bashing other than this fic; they've actually written several ChengXian fics (as well as some WN/WWX and LXC/WWX).

Their WangXian fics are generally good for some simple, uncomplicated WangXian smut and/or fluff; but if JC is tagged, expect there to be some mention of him one-sidedly pining after WWX, or otherwise suffering b/c of WWX in some way without WWX (or anyone else) noticing.

I am sorry, he looked trustworthy by Xiao_Hua (Rated M)

Author's Summary: Wei WuXian is a hero, Lan WangJi is his arch nemesis.

So what happens when in the middle of a battle Wei WuXian forgets this and out of everyone judges Lan WangJi the most innocent looking, deciding to trust only him?

My Summary: Very interesting take on things; I'm honestly impressed.

It's canon divergent; either after WWX's death - in that his revival in MXY's body never happened; or in being based on CQL or some other MDZS AU where WangXian never got together, and in which WWX was murdered at some point after Guanyin temple. Regardless, the past is not completely discussed, and WWX never regains his memories of his original life.

Not much actual JC bashing; he rarely shows up and is not discussed in detail. But he is an asshole, and a couple of references indicate that WWX's life growing up with him and YZY was as miserable as it was in the canon timeline. He also doesn't hesitate to turn on WWX. He's not actually as bad as in canon; he's not a serial killer with a torture hobby, at least. But that's about the most complimentary thing the fic does for him.

Xiao_Hua is an excellent author. My only complaint is that they generally portray WWX as being oblivious (not really in this fic, but in others); however they're a talented enough author that I don't mind too much. They don't outright bash JC; they just generally minimize his presence, and when he's there they depict him as his canonical self. It's honestly delightful.

(So far I've only really found one exception to this among their fics; Mine was a bit more JC-positive than I prefer - he's still an asshole in it; but he's an asshole with good intentions - but overall I loved that fic too much for the slightly generous interpretation of his character in it to bother me.)

Something else to take note of is that their M rated fics are probably a bit more suited to an E rating; in case that bothers you. I would also recommend not reading too many of their M or E fics too close together; as their smut tends to follow the exact same formula each time, and is very close to their novel-canon first time. It's not bad smut; but it means that binge-reading their fics makes the smut a bit boring after a while.

There'll be a few more fics from them on this list, so have fun!

Modern AU, Heroes/Villians AU, Reincarnation/Immortality Fic, Canon Divergent; 16,267 words.

Mark me with your devotion by Xiao_Hua (Rated M)

Author's Summary: People attain marks of colour on their skin from those who love them.

Wei WuXian has no discolouration on his body at all.

My Summary: This is an excellent fic, although it is also very angsty. Unlike the other fics I've seen in this trope, WWX's lack of marks is not due to any kind of curse or condition. He just genuinely has not been loved at all by a single person since he was six(the age at which people become able to give and receive marks) - including the entire Jiang family.

It is either a No-Sunshot Campaign AU, or the war happens later, after the fic is over. Regardless, timelines and ages are changed up in this - WWX is twenty when they go to Gusu for the lectures; A-Yuan is six when WWX is twenty-one. A-Yuan is also not a Wen; at least, he has no living family.

JC is his -ahem!- delightful, canonical self in this. I can absolutely see him doing these things to WWX if canon had soulmarks. My favourite part related to him involved WWX's reaction. (Do I love seeing JC get smacked in the face with *consequences*? Absolutely yes.)

Soulmark AU, Canon Divergent; 18,015 words.

Switched by Xiao_Hua (Rated M)

Author's Summary: “Gege we’re in a different world, definitely mortal realm. These are nothing but meek humans, some with low amounts of dwindling spiritual powers. I may kill them all if Gege pleases.”

“Oh no San Lang, of course not,” Xie Lian turned towards the eldest man in the room bowing deeply to show respect. “dear friend, we apologise for the rudeness it is quite obvious that we are within bodies that you are familiar with but we are indeed not who you think.”

Or the one where Wei WuXian and Lan WangJi swap bodies with Xie Lian and Hua Cheng. Jiang Cheng is annoyed, Lan XiChen becomes worried, Nie HuaiSang remains greatly amused whilst Hua Cheng ships it.

My Summary: This AU is just so much fun, honestly. Very fluffy with little to no angst.

Initially, WangXian meeting, spending time with, and getting to know HuaLian doesn't change much; but it creates small ripples that ultimately lead to major canon divergences. Everything is beautiful and nothing hurts.

This is mostly MDZS-focused; but with a couple of appearances by HuaLian and some minor references to TGCF world-building. The only divergences for TGCF are that HuaLian disappear from the TGCF universe for a bit at a couple of points in canon; first because of the bodyswap, then to go answer a prayer from WangXian. There are a couple of brief cameos by other gods as well.

TGCF/MDZS Crossover, TGCF Canon Compliant with two minor differences; MDZS Canon Divergent starting during the Cloud Recesses Study Arc; 16,138 words.

Don't worry, we'll fix this by Xiao_Hua (Rated T)

Author's Summary: 'I digress, now that you are inevitably convinced and have grown comfortable with the idea that you are me let us get into business. A’Yuan will hand you a notebook MY BOY DO NOT LET ANYONE TOUCH THAT THING where I have summed up the future and left a list of the things that you are required to fix.'

Or one where baby A-Yuan is sent back by Wei WuXian to fix things up with nothing but a manuscript artfully constructed by the YiLing Laozu.

My Summary: This is a pretty cute fic; though it has some CQL elements in it, it's still more MDZS verse than CQL. (No Yin Iron, thank heaven!) As for what makes this fic awesome? I have two things to say.

A-Yuan.

Dragons.

Need I say more?

I know it seems like I'm posting everything by Xiao_Hua on this list; but I'm not, actually. I love basically all of their fics, but the ones on this list are the ones that I feel qualify as JC-critical. For the most part, the others don't have JC in them at all.

Time Travel AU, Canon Divergent from the Cloud Recesses Study Arc; 19,992 words.

If we could go back by Xiao_Hua (Rated T)

Author's Summary: Wei WuXian is in shambles, there is an army of rabbits whilst Lan WangJi may or may not punch someone for insulting his husband.

Or one where both Lan WangJi and Wei WuXian travel back in time and are forced to face the mess that has been their lives.

My Summary: This sounds a lot like the one above, and it DOES share several elements (Time Travel, A-Yuan, Dragons); but in this one Post-Canon WangXian are the ones to go back. They try to pretend to be their past selves but it goes sideways really quickly; especially because JC is being his canonical self and Post-canon WWX is just done.

It contains enough CQL elements to irritate me (though still no Yin Iron); but the JC bashing in the earlier parts of the fic makes up for it. Granted, the author included a little too much JC-Neutral content at the end for my taste (this is a direct quote: "...and Jiang Cheng was as nice to them as he was capable of being..."), but it makes sense that WWX wouldn't want to completely cut ties with a JC he was still on somewhat civil terms with, since he was still close to JYL.

This isn't their best work, but it's still enjoyable. Mostly, I'm just fond of it because this is the fic where someone actually punches JC right in the face; sending him flying and laying him out flat on his back. The fact that that person is LWJ just makes it that much better.

Accidental Time Travel AU, Post-Canon, Canon Compliant, Time Travel Divergence from the Cloud Recesses Study Arc; 12,505 words.

For the Greater Good by Xiao_Hua (rated M)

Author's Summary: He counted on having a hard time with finding anyone willing to aid his case, it’s not like people did not have very strong opinions on what behaviours were proper for a young gentleman. Deciding to change his tactics, he needed to look for quality instead of quantity.

Originally he planned that their strength might be in their number, shocking the old goat out of his boots but if he manages to induce the right person, the director will have no other option but to bow in front of his brilliance.

Or one where Wei Ying decides to wear the female students' uniform for the greater good and Lan Zhan has a hard time dealing with the feelings such action brings along.

Warnings: Homophobia, Transphobia (maybe?), prejudice against crossdressing and/or other forms of gender non-conformity, etc. Severe Depression.

My Summary: Excellent fic where WWX cross-dresses for social justice. I love how he has absolutely no hesitation in supporting his friend; no matter what social or academic consequences he faces for his actions, and the way he refuses to bow down in the face of bigotry and gross abuse of power.

JC is very homophobic and bigoted in this, and WWX does not put up with his attitude.

Modern AU; 15,794 words.

Howling For You by ariwrites (Rated E)

Author Summary: So, for a hundred years there was peace.

In the 101th year, there was Wei Wuxian.

The foxxian/dragonji AU where Lan Wangji takes(kinda kidnaps) a trespassing foxxian home and makes him stay.

My twitter threadfic cleaned up for ao3.

My Summary: This is just a really cute mates!fic. It doesn't exactly bash JC; because while he's an asshole and WWX seems to have an antoganistic relationship with him, he does try to rescue WWX (and offer an awkward mumble about healers) when JC thinks he's been kidnapped and raped.

(Granted, his uncharacteristic consideration is offset by his refusal to let WWX explain that, "No, this was consensual; I'm not here against my will so please stop dragging me away!")

Hybrid/Shifter AU; 8567 words.

the stone-filled sea by rukla (Rated T)

Author's Summary: He forgets how quickly Wei-qianbei changes faces, sometimes. Like pulling a theater mask over a bruise—color over color, a diversion with the swipe of his hand.

Lan Sizhui navigates a world that hates his father, one endless wave at a time.

My Summary: This is very, very sad. But also very beautiful, and containing several satisfying moments following each of the sad parts. It's very poetic, and it hurts; but not in an entirely bad way. It just feels very bittersweet.

JC doesn't show up, and he's never mentioned specifically; but LSZ recalls things his father told him about how WWX's life with the Jiangs affected him that very much do include JC.

Post-Canon; 9093 words.

Baby Of Mine by pupeez4eva (Rated T)

Author's Summary: Little A-Yuan makes an impromptu trip to the past, and all he wants to do is spend some quality time with his parents.

A teenage Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji are not equipped to deal with this.

My Summary: This is just a cute, ridiculous piece of fluff. It's a great little feel-good piece.

This is basically Canon Divergent on two separate counts. First - the future A-Yuan comes from diverges at some point prior to JL's one month celebration; where WangXian get together and WWX and the Wen Remnants all move to the Cloud Recesses. Second - little A-Yuan time travels into the middle of LQR's classroom during a lecture.

Canon Divergent Time Travel AU; Set in the Cloud Recesses Study Arc; 3341 words.

A Good Sword by Haoppopotamus (Rated G)

Author's Summary: Wei Wuxian is forming a golden core in Mo Xuanyu's body. He realizes this means he can wield Suibian again but Lan Wangji reminds him it's with Jiang Cheng in Yunmeng. Their help is requested to subdue supernatural disturbances on Mushan Island so Wangxian head there with some juniors. During the night hunt, they run into Jiang Cheng who happens to have Suibian with him. How will Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian resolve who gets to keep the sword?

My Summary: It's basically what it says on the tin. JC is his usual shitty self; though when he gives in at the end WWX thanks him - even though I got the impression JC only did it to try to save face.

Post-Canon, Canon Compliant; 4392 words.

Musings On The Golden Core by Vrishchika

This series contains three (amazing) unrelated works so far (as of 07/02/21):

Intervention of Spirits by Vrishchika (One-Shot, Complete; Rated T)

Author's Summary: Suibian intervenes and everything is golden.

My Summary: A cute little Golden Core Reveal fic. It's more JC-Critical than JC-Bashing; he's just at a canon-typical level of shittiness for right after the Sunshot Campaign.

Canon Divergence Post-Sunshot Campaign; 4338 words.

Resiliance by Vrishchika (One-Shot, Complete; Rated T)

Author's Summary: Five times things get out of Jiang Wanyin's control and the one timeline where everything goes right for Lan Wangji.

My Summary: One of my absolute favourite Time Travel Fix-It AUs ever. I've read it through four times already, and it was only posted on June 7th. (25 days ago as of this update.)

Basically, 4 years after WWX's death, JC decides to use one of his untested inventions - a Time Travel array - to go back and change the past. Unbeknownst to him, LWJ hitches a ride.

Time Travel Fix-It, starts 4 years after WWX's death, goes to right after the massacre of Lotus Pier where it goes AU; 7744 words.

Trapped and Patient by Vrishchika (4-Shot WIP, One Chapter Posted as of 07/02/21; Rated E)

Author's Summary: "Wen Qing-"

"Listen to me," Wen Qing interrupts him, "It is impossible."

My Summary: Wen Qing tells WWX that a Golden Core Transfer isn't an untested theory; it's disproven - and explains why it's literally impossible.

Major Jiang/Yu hate here. Not really expressed in the text yet so much as they fill you with homicidal rage for the way they treat WWX; though I'm honestly quite hopeful that he breaks free long before they plan to release him.

This isn't a One-Shot so it technically doesn't belong on this list; but since I'm reccing the full series here I included it too.

I absolutely reccomend anything by Vrishchika; they're very much not JC positive at all.

Canon Divergent from before the Golden Core Transfer, No Golden Core Transfer AU; 8666 words.

Worth of a Good Man by Vrishchika (Rated T)

Author's Summary: When you shine as brightly as a star, people notice. Everyone wants a worthy, loyal, and strong person by their side.

My Summary: Everyone notices how skilled and powerful WWX is. They also notice how poorly the Jiang Sect treats him.

Surely he'd appreciate being given a better offer. Surely.

Takes place in an AU where WRH is not so evil, and the Sunshot Campaign never happens.

Based on this prompt: "I have always had a problem with WWX's position and treatment in Yunmeng Jiang. His status is terribly uncertain. Is he a servant? An inner disciple? An outer disciple? Nobody knows! He has no money except what he gets in allowance from JFM, gets punished according to non-existent rules, goes from brother to pet to servant in five seconds flat... It's confusing. He's Head Disciple, a hell of a powerful one and we can be sure that he earned that title since Yu-furen would (and probably did) scream favouritism. Now, my prompt is this: What if other sects start paying attention at some point and conclude that WWX would make an excellent disciple for almost any sect? And surely, if Yunmeng Jiang doesn't treat him all that well, he must be gettable! Cue the bidding war with various sects offering WWX favourable, clear-cut contracts and/or bribes. (Marrying him in is an option as well!)"

No War AU; 6600 words.

Jin Vrs. Lan - For Wei Wuxian's Hand by Vrishchika (Rated T)

Author's Summary: Jin Zixuan and Lan Wangji fall in love with the same person.

Somehow, they still find happiness in the end.

My Summary: JZX and LWJ waging an invisible war for WWX's heart is hilarious. It's actually very sweet, with a happy ending. Pairing is WangXian (XuanLi secondary pairing); ZiXian is only one-sided.

Based off of this prompt: "What if Jin Zixuan fell in love with Wei Ying on first punch? Both him & Lan Zhan have a foot in mouth syndrome, so any courting attempt on their side is bound to be hilarious, especially if they are aware that they are competing for WWX's affection, while he remains totally oblivious."

Canon Divergence during the Cloud Recesses Study Arc, No War AU; 7560 words.

To Speak Up by Vrishchika (Rated M)

Author's Summary: To be silent is to be complicit.

Warnings: Child Abuse, Domestic Violence, Homophobia, Brainwashing.

My Summary: This is a fic about Canon Jiang Family Dynamics and Behaviour in a modern setting. It's really sad; especially since YZY never faces consequences for her actions. I mean, it ends with WWX being free; but it still broke my heart and made me furious, because WWX refused to walk away for JC and JYL's sake - and they absolutely did not deserve his loyalty. It enraged me that unlike in MDZS, WWX chooses JC over LWJ every single time, no matter what.

That said, the things WWX says about being a child who grew up in an abusive family are 100% true.

Based on this prompt: I want to see a fic where WWX's found family gets angry and just snaps at the Jiangs for their treatment of WWX bc WWX wouldn't do it for himself so they decided that they'll do it for him instead. I'm thinking of a modern AU instead and would love to see the Wen sibs and the Lans esp Lan Qiren defend WWX from YZY. Established Wangxian too, maybe just boyfriends or already married.

Modern AU; 6995 words.

The Cruelty of Fate by Procrastination_Sensation (Rated T)

Author's Summary: “Wei Ying,” he manages, a breathy croak, and peers past his eyelashes to watch those grey eyes widen. They swirl with more emotions than he can name at the moment- emotions that he has not seen in those eyes for years, and his heart aches further as he watches the other swallow visibly, trembling hands reaching up to tentatively hold his own outstretched one, though they pass through each other like the other is made of mist.

“Lan Zhan,” Wei Ying breathes, and the shadows under his eyes darken as his face scrunches up, looking like he’s about to cry.

My Summary: A beautiful and painful Soulmate AU, where you only ever learn who your soulmate is because their ghost comes to haunt you after they die. It has a happy ending; but beware of all the knives beforehand.

Also LWJ verbally tears JC to shreds; though a lot of it is simply his thoughts rather than spoken aloud. (Unfortunately.) WWX is also indicated to still have rather disappointingly positive feelings towards him. (Even more unfortunately.)

From a Tumblr prompt: "The one where your soulmate's ghost haunts you when they die."

Canon-Divergence Post-First Siege of the Burial Mounds through the 13 Years of WWX's Death, Soulmate AU; 15,698 words.

These Mortal Treasures by ChilianXianzi (Rated T)

Author's Summary: "Is that something that Wei Ying would like?" Lan Wangji asks softly, carefully, "To be kept?"

There's that fleeting, lost look in Wei Ying's eyes once more, and Lan Wangji thinks it's unacceptable - That Wei Ying had not felt welcomed in his own home, so much so that he decided to wander the world away from it. So much so that he is afraid that he would be unwelcome as well elsewhere.

Lan Wangji barely stops himself from hissing, from letting the steam of his icy breath escape in the close air between them. He only vaguely remembers the Jiangs, a young Cultivation Clan barely a century old, but his disdain towards them feels ancient now in the wake of all this. How foolish of them, to simply let go of someone so bright, someone so unfailingly kind and giving.

How convenient, for Lan Wangji's own gain.

My Summary: An awesome AU based on this prompt: Dragon LWJ seeing WWX and saying Mine! with all the delightful possessive hoarding Dragon tendencies. The sacrifices Clans/villages make to appease the Dragon/gain his favor can be the things that make up his hoard.

Love to see lots of possessive, aggressively doting, giving WWX random trinkets to make his Treasure the happiest, shiniest Treasure LWJ.

WWX can be another Shifter or a sacrifice. Dealers choice! Maybe he gets the Pearl back after someone (WRH? Steals it)?

Can writer please incorporate the Dragon Pearl being an egg? They create/hatch it? If the Pearl gets stolen can there be a specific thing they have to do to turn if from Pearl to Egg. Like WWX has to swallow it, incubate it for a while then LWJ curling around it until its ready to hatch.

Contains Egg-preg of sorts.

Lans Are Dragons AU, Canon Divergent; 9379 words.

Jealousy by Marinelifeclub (Rated G)

Author's Summary: Jiang Yanli compares her life to Wei Wuxian's and feels bitterness settle in her chest.

My Summary: WWX doesn't give JC his core, and eventually Jiang Yanli becomes her mother's daughter.

Very negative towards both Jiang siblings.

Canon Divergent from before the Golden Core Transfer; 816 words.

T &G Reading since 5/29

Finished

Teen:

not a lot, just forever, by anti_ela

"It's my job," Jiang Cheng says, and it feels like he's floating several feet outside of his body. If the other sect leaders and their lackeys hear, he doesn't notice. "When he goes out into the darkness, it's my job to bring him home."

Lan Xichen turns to him and opens his beautiful mouth. He must say something; his lips are moving. But Jiang Cheng can already feel the grave opening before him, and he knows, now, that Wei Wuxian was right after all: he would never learn how to love anyone but his family. That there is no safe or responsible option but this, because to do anything less would be to destroy his own soul.

-----

Or: Jiang Cheng does what he wants to do, and not what he should.

Taking Responsibility, by MarbleGlove (4th in a series)

Lan Qiren had raised his nephews to the best of his abilities, but Wangji was not getting his life arranged properly. It was possible that at least some of the problems came from how Qiren had raised his nephews. He would take responsibility.

driver’s license, by cryptenhope (reread)

Wei Ying can’t find anger in Lan Zhan for leaving. There’s no rage, no pure spite. He doesn’t need to forgive the man. Forgiveness means there was something to blame Lan Zhan for in the first place. No, Wei Ying blames himself for caring. He cannot forgive himself for still loving Lan Zhan because he does, irrevocably and undeniably.

And now?

Now, Wei Ying is tired.

(Or: the driver’s license au that has nothing to do with the song or driving)

The Consequences of Accidental Time Travel, by BurningBlueDiamond (5th in a series, 5 chapters)

Future Sizhui, Jingyi, Wei Ying and Lan Zhan went back to their time.

How will the Past and Future character react to the new information provided?

The aftermath of "A Room Full of Dead People".

Yeah, this really doesn't make any sense without reading "A Room Full of Dead People" first.

A Room Full of Dead People - Nie Huaisang Edition, by BurningBlueDiamond (6th in a series)

So, this is basically a What-if of A Room Full of Dead People, sprouted by a comment by Shadowgal under How Nie Huaisang Learned to Never Skip a Conference.

What if Nie Huaisang didn't skip the afternoon of the Conference?

I advise you to read A Room Full of Dead People first

shelter, by hauntedotamatone

“They are gone,” a low voice sounds from above him, joined by the warm weight of a hand on his back. “It’s safe now.”

A-Ying carefully removes his hands from the soft fabric bunched up in his grip and proceeds to wipe away the tears and snot from his face. It’s only now that he realizes he’s smeared bright red blood all over the stranger’s nice, white robes.

The thing about people in nice robes is that they don’t take kindly to dirty hands grasping at them, let alone hands dirty with blood.

“S-sorry,” he says around the thick lump that still sits in his throat. “A-Ying is sorry.”

The hand at his back grows stiff.

“There is no need for ‘sorry’,” the stranger tells him. “Robes can be cleaned.”

General:

Whether Tis Nobler, by MarbleGlove (2nd in a series)

Nie Mingjue has known since he inherited the Nie Sect leadership after his father’s murder, that he would die horribly and enraged as his own qi destroyed him. Looking at Wei Wuxian happily dandling a toddler on his knee, makes him consider if maybe that final qi deviation was not a foregone conclusion after all.

Sect Leader Jin, by MarbleGlove (3rd in a series)

Nie Hauisang promised to get rid of Jin Guangshan in his brother's honor and is not one to procrastinate.

Jin Zixuan wants to stop being embarrassed by himself/his father/his sect, and start being able to properly court Jiang Yanli.

Jin Guangshan does not have a good day despite the lovely ladies hanging off his arms.

What's Wrong With Him?, by GrapefruitSketches

Day 11: Delicate (Untamed Spring Fest 2020)

Set during Episode 23.

Jiang Yanli rushes to her brothers’ sides after the Wen Clan is defeated once and for all. There, she has the chance to develop a deeper understanding of Lan Wangji, her closest (and maybe only) ally in protecting Wei Wuxian from the world, and himself.

Unfinished

Teen:

The Return of Cangse Sanren, by milesofheart

The dark figure pointed with his flute. “There’s the road. Be on your way and don’t come back.” His tone dismissed them, a threat threaded between the words.

Cangse Sanren was not often afraid. She had been afraid as a child on the street, before she was found by Baoshan Sanren. She was afraid when the spider demon cornered them earlier that night, and she thought she would never see her baby boy again. She wondered vaguely if she should be afraid now.

But mostly she was just irritated.

She started to yell back at him, but lightning flashed, illuminating the people on horseback: elderly, bloody and bruised, in torn robes of sun and flames. As the lightning lit up all of their faces, the flutist’s cruel expression suddenly dropped, and his eyes went wide.

When he didn’t look so vicious, he was quite handsome. Maybe even vaguely familiar, somehow.

---

(Cangse Sanren and Wei Changze return from a near-lethal nighthunt in Yiling, eager to pick up their young son from the inn and be on their way to the next town. But when they run into a dark figure with a red-tasseled flute and glowing red eyes, it soon becomes apparent that something has gone terribly wrong.)

I Hear a Symphony, by Blueroses27

It has been 13 years, 13 years since the burial mounds were cut off from the rest of the world. No one was heard from the Yiling Patriarch, not even the Jiang siblings. Most have assumed it was to amass power but after 13 years they stopped preparing and moved on; until a letter with a fox seal finds it's way on to Sect Leader Lan Xichen's desk.

Music Heals All Forms Of Misery, by idontknowwhatimdoinghalfthetime

Two years after the downfall of Jin Guangyao, two individuals are sick and tired of seeing the cultivation world hurt Wei Wuxian even after being cleared of his crimes. So they decide to show the world the truth from all sides. The beautiful and the ugly. Whether or not they are forgiven by the demonic cultivator, in the end, is to be seen. But they know this needs to happen for him to heal.

Maybe it'll be easier to digest if it happens... through song? (*ﾟᗜ˚) (－‸ლ)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GREATLY INSPIRED BY: Mo Dao Zu Shi: The Musical by ILikeReading101

That fic is AMAZING! Please go give it a read!!

MingYu, by Fino_Al_Cielo

The Jiangs are not amused when they find a highly traumatized Wei Wuxian, who also happens to be from the future. Well, that was a lovely weekend.

At least, they gained a new son...?

Chenqing: "setting forth one's thoughts and explaining one's actions", by LyzDrake

After an assassin is nearly successful, Wei Wuxian grows concerned that should it be needed, there will be no one who knows the truth. She decides to entrust it to someone honorable, and the last person she ever thought possible.

General:

Once upon a lifetime, by HuaisangsIntellect

The second he awakens, Wei Wuxian realises that he has been sent to the past, but at what cost? How will he prevent the Sunshot Campaign and make sure none of his loved ones die? And... why is Lan Wangji so different than what he remembered?

(Or: Wei Wuxian somehow finds himself back in the past and causes trouble along the way.)

10 + 1 Wangxian Recs - Theme Myhical Creatures/Shapeshifters

I am currently mostly in MDZS (Mo Dao Zu Shi/Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation) fandom. And fully and wholeheartily shipping Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian. And since I have collected 2000+ Wangxian bookmarks on AO3 I thought it was high time to pick out some of my favourite fics to Recommend. But since it is hard to pic just a few I decided to separate them into themes.

This theme is fics where either/both of Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji are some kind of animal or mythical creature shapeshifter/hybrid. Most common is Fox Wei Wuxian and Dragon Lan Wangji.

A Mother’s Curse (A Mother’s Blessing) by Eudoxia

https://archiveofourown.org/works/32194453

Summary:To avoid an arranged marriage, Lan Wangji places a curse on himself, one that can only be undone by his soulmate. He knows his family—particularly the elders—are upset about it, but Lan Wangji will not marry someone he does not love.Or, huli jing Lan Wangji curses himself to be trapped in his fox form until his soulmate comes along to free him. Enter, Wei Wuxian.

many fox given by defractum (nyargles)

https://archiveofourown.org/works/28178061

Summary:Lan Zhan is glaring at him. That's probably fair.The last time they'd seen each other, Wei Ying had been digging through Lan Zhan's garbage. They'd made eye contact over the shredded bags, the week's trash scattered around him like stinky, oversized Lego.Lan Zhan's eyes had been wide with horror, and Wei Ying's had been equally wide with feigned innocence. He'd reached out slowly, maintaining the eye contact, and then flipped over the food waste bin full of onion peel and carrot skin as a distraction and slunk off into the night. Probably not his finest moment.-Modern AU dragon!LWJ meets fox!WWX.

Cultivation of the Pack by Midshipsman

https://archiveofourown.org/works/28481901

Summary:A modern werewolf AU: Cultivator clans are all werewolf packs, hidden from the mundanes but still fighting to keep the world safe. Years ago, the Yiling Alpha was defeated, his pack all slain, but now he has been summoned back into the body Mo Xuanyu, an omega from the Mo Pack.Now Wei Ying is alone, packless, an omega out on his own... And the full moon, with its erotic frenzy, is in just two days. Luckily, Wei Ying soon runs into someone from his past: Lan Zhan, an alpha and an old friend, who is more than happy to give Wei Ying his bite and welcome him into his pack—and his bed.

Lay All Your Love In Me by Dei_Starr (DeiStarr), DeiStarr

https://archiveofourown.org/works/27290881

Summary:Bunny!Hybrid Wei Ying and Dragon!Hybrid Lan Zhan sneak around Cloud Recesses in a clandestine relationship until they eventually get caught together. A hasty marriage is arranged to avoid any possible scandal.Since they aren't allowed to see each other until the wedding, Wei Ying is just grateful that they talked about all of the important things ahead of time - yes, they want to get married eventually so it won't matter if somebody catches them together; Lan Zhan will need to get Wei Ying pregnant with his eggs when they want to have children; Wei Ying is Trans Male, AFAB; etc.So it's not like there'll be any unexpected surprises on their wedding night, right?

come away, o human child by merelydovely

https://archiveofourown.org/works/30345987

Summary:“Who was it, shijie?” asks Wei Ying after a short silence. “Who was the dragon in disguise?”“The tall, serious man in white,” says Jiang Yanli calmly, unaware of the way she’s just torn the bottom out of Wei Ying’s stomach. “He was wearing a ribbon around his forehead. Otherwise I might not have made the connection.”Oh fuck, thinks Wei Ying. Lan Zhan is a fucking dragon?---Wei Ying is invited to visit the home of his enigmatic new friend Lan Wangji. It just so happens that Lan Wangji’s home is a mountain palace full of immortal water guardians who all seem to have extremely alien ideas about what’s appropriate in public.

These Mortal Treasures by ChilianXianzi

https://archiveofourown.org/works/31960087

Summary:"Is that something that Wei Ying would like?" Lan Wangji asks softly, carefully, "To be kept?"There's that fleeting, lost look in Wei Ying's eyes once more, and Lan Wangji thinks it's unacceptable - That Wei Ying had not felt welcomed in his own home, so much so that he decided to wander the world away from it. So much so that he is afraid that he would be unwelcome as well elsewhere.Lan Wangji barely stops himself from hissing, from letting the steam of his icy breath escape in the close air between them. He only vaguely remembers the Jiangs, a young Cultivation Clan barely a century old, but his disdain towards them feels ancient now in the wake of all this. How foolish of them, to simply let go of someone so bright, someone so unfailingly kind and giving.How convenient, for Lan Wangji's own gain.

破镜重圆 / love always wakes the dragon by lianhua_lianzi

https://archiveofourown.org/works/32380378

Summary:“So, let me get this straight,” Wei Wuxian said through a mouthful of egg. “You’re an immortal dragon. Your name is Lan Zhan, courtesy name Lan Wangji, whatever that means—you don’t look like a Wangji—and I’ve been feeding you and bathing you and telling you my most embarrassing secrets for the past month?” Wei Wuxian’s past life comes home to roost when he finds a dragon at his door.

wind and rain by hauntedotamatone

https://archiveofourown.org/works/32904709

Summary:Wei Wuxian is sent away to his death in order to save the sect that raised him off of the streets from a slow and painful end. He does not expect to find someone just as bound by obligation as himself.Summary:The very oldest citizens of Yunmeng, only two of them remaining, remember the last time that rain ceased to fall and the wind stopped blowing, and they remember well what finally brought it back.It’s in the Jiang Clan annals as well, but this particular secret is well kept.One hundred years ago, a great-great aunt of the current sect leader was sent up the mountain in wedding red.She did not return, but the rain did.So, there is nothing else to do.

Paths of Light and Darkness Converge by ataratah

https://archiveofourown.org/works/31952545

Summary:Everyone knows that Wei Wuxian died before the Sunshot Campaign even began.Everyone knows that the Yiling Patriarch is a huli jing, a trickster fox spirit, that practices demonic cultivation for nefarious purposes.Everyone knows that there’s no way a righteous sect, let alone the hidebound Lan sect, would accept the Yiling Patriarch into their clan....Everyone is wrong.Or, when the notorious Yiling Patriarch marries Hanguang Jun to save the Wens, nothing in the cultivation world will ever be the same again.

Fox breeding by Anonymous

https://archiveofourown.org/works/26724472

Summary:In theory, the malleable nature of a fox-spirit’s body made them the ideal partner for a dragon seeking to lay their eggs, it was really a wonder that there were no records of any match between the two clans. There was no precedent they could imitate for what they were about to try. Instead they would have to improvise, but Wei Wuxian was a master at improvising, and with his beloved husband at his side, there were no limits to what he could achieve.

Magic Carpet Ride by ariskamalt

https://archiveofourown.org/works/31419680

Summary:In a cave appears a dragon.Wei Wuxian, of course, gets fucked.
