2. Hi! I have a fic finder request, please. It was a modern au where some people could shape shift. WWX was a fox (or other small critter) and he was super embarrassed because he got his head stuck in a peanut butter jar (or similar) and handsome LWJ was the animal rescue officer who came to help him. I think it was a series of several short fics, and maybe this peanut butter scene was just a short prologue? Thanks for your help!

4. Hello! I am trying to find a deleted fanfic so I dont know if this will be found but this is what I remember from it:

jiang cheng in this story grows up thinking he will marry wei wuxian but then wei wuxian gets pregnant at a young age by lan wangji and madame yu kicks him out. wei wuxian gets in contact with lan wangji again and goes to live with him. there is then a time skip where their son, lan shizui is sixteen and becomes friends with jin ling without knowing that he is part of wei wuxians extended family. wei wuxian had cut contact with the jiangs after he had been kicked out and never reached back out so lan shizui had no idea. they eventually find out that wei wuxian is jin lings long lost uncle and they orchestrate a meeting without suspicion and when wei wuxian and the jiangs meet again things seem good at first but then jiang cheng becomes violent and lan wangji gets both wei wuxian and lan shizui out of there. jiang cheng becomes a bit of a stalker towards wei wuxian and even becomes violent. by the end they get a restraining order on him and lan shizui breaks up with jin ling because of the behavior he let slide

FOUND? The link for no 4 was http://archiveofourown.org/works/41256321 The fic is deleted, but maybe the wayback archive has it.

10. Hello! I don't remember if I have already asked about this, if so, please disregard, my memory is awful sometimes and I am not sure if I thought of asking or if I did ask.

Anyways, for fic finder, I remember this one fic where WWX and LWJ get married in the Qishan archery tournament and then hide it for some reason, but WWX gets pregnant, but the war starts and he is pregnant during the indoctrination and WN is the one to tell him so, and and WQ is the one to help him give birth and he and LWJ leave their baby with her and go back to war, but at some point they loose contact and their baby is taken as a Wen and taken to the camps and WWX and LWJ find out and go rescue them and they discover A-Yuan's mother died, so they claim a-yuan as their son too and say WWX gave birth to twins, and they confront the Jins.

11. Hello lovely mods! Thank you for all your hard work.

I'm looking for an arranged marriage fic set in space (well on different planets). WWX and LWJ have never met before. And in order to guarantee the marriage is consummated, there are cameras set up in the bedroom. But LWJ uses his clothing to block them from seeing the actual act. Pretty sure it was rotating POV. The fic was unfinished. It was really gorgeous!

Thank you in advance!

13. Hello—

Looking for a fic where wwx is alone & staring a new job & puts down lwj as his emergency contact as a joke— but the hospital calls him when there’s an explosion and they reconnect?

I believe #13 is a fic by Kizukatana, I tried to find it, but I think it’s been put in a collection

Agreed, I think it was called Joke's On Me

14. Hi! Thanks for all you do!

I’m looking for a fic I’ve read before but I didn’t bookmark. Wei Ying and the Wen Remnants leave the cultivation world and the mountain pass they go to is blocked by resentful energy. There’s big monsters destroying the cultivation world and the Wei Sect agrees to come help. At the end LZ gives WY his core. Thanks for your help 🥹🙏

15. So it's the first time that I am asking here to find a fic, but I am really struggling to find this fic and it's driving me crazy. So from what I remember Lan zhan was cursed to be a horse and wei ying found him in the forest, if I remember it correctly, and took him the lotus pier, where he stayed with the other horses in the stall and got really close to them, so that he still feeled save after he turned back human. I would be really happy if you could find it. I would really appreciate it💙

~*~

16. Dont think WangXian is the main focus but they are together in this story

I am pretty sure that NMJ lived in this fic but what i do remember is below.

There is a minor sec leader and his wife, they have 2 daughters. The youngest is really spoiled and gets everything she wants. Her mother decide she is going to try and get a marriage alliance with LXC with her. She tells her husband not to say anything just in case it falls through.

A few weeks later the mother realizes that her youngest daughter is not a good match for LXC but her oldest daughter would. Unfortunatley her husband did not listen to her and had already told their youngest daughter about the marriage contract with LXC and now that LXC will now be marrying her sister.

She throws a tantrum and demands to go to the next conference, saying if her sister is going to marry a sec leader then she will too.

She waits until JC leaves the banquet and follows him to his room, and they sleep together. The next day she is really proud for sleeping with him and brags to her parents about it. They gather the other sec leaders together and confront JC. She says that he proposed to her when he agreed to sleep with her, and he said he didnt want to marry anyone who was easy and willing to sleep with a random man they just met.

Eventually he is forced to marry her because she is pregnant. After her son is born she hands him off to her family and says she never wanted a child, nor did she want to do the duties of a sec leaders wife, she just wanted to up her sister by marrying a sec leader too.

During all this JC is pissed that WY left his sect to be with LZ. @prissyp2014

FOUND? IF by Remma3760 (Not Rated, 94k, WangXian, QingJue, Aftermath of Violence, Canon Divergence, Everybody Lives, Fix-It of Sorts, BAMF LWJ, Golden Core Reveal) 16 feels v familiar but I don't hve the right tags to find it! I think the minor sect in question is the ouyang sect. Madam ouyang, originally from the yu sect, arranges these marriages for her stepdaughters. when all hell breaks loose at the conference, the yu sect leader (jwy's grandmother?) steps in. wondering if the jwy bashing/not jc friendly tags might help also - think I found it

17. hi!! thank you for all your hard work ❤️❤️

18. Hi! I am looking for a modern a/b/o fic. I originally found the recommendation on your blog but I have tried searching and can’t find it again T_T. The fic begins after teen WWX is kicked out of the Jiang’s home and he goes to LWJ. LWJ lets him stay over, they get jiggy, and then WWX leaves in the morning. WWX tries to send LWJ letters but LXC or LQR intercepts them, so both both think the other has cut them off. WWX gets pregnant from their encounter and has a-Yuan and WWX raises him on his own. WWX and LWJ meet again years later and they figure out what happened and they get together again. Would love to read again if anyone else knows which fic this is! Thank you so much xoxo

19. I recently discovered you and that you find fics. There is a fic I have been searching for about shen yuan who transmigrates into a demonic cultivator and thinks he is Wei wuxian the yilling patriarch, as that is the only demonic cultivator he knows of. He runs around, trying not to be discovered, especially by Lan Zhan and gusu cultivators. He literally bumps into shen jiu 1 of the few times he's in town and thinks "this kid is too beautiful not to be an important character".

After a bit, he's traveling with and training shen jiu in cultivation,  especially gusu musical cultivation. Eventually they separate and shen jiu becomes a disciple of qinq Jing peak, where his shizun realizes he has very special training and abilities. The shizun sets a trap for Shen jiu's first master at the sect, and when shen yuan comes racing along to save his disciple who has been discovered as a demonic cultivator, it turns out the shizun just wants shen yuan to join the sect as a teacher and teach musical cultivation to  everyone. I have been searching for months,  and have had no luck. I hope the fic hasn't been deleted, and maybe someone else will have better luck. Thanks a lot. @saysoonest

20. For the next fic finder, I can't remember the title but I'd appreciate it any help.

From what I remember, it was a WIP, and Lan Zhan had defected from the Lan Clan and Wei Ying had established a sect. There was some discussion conference that was happening and Wei Sect was invited for the first time in years. The rest of the cultivation world has no idea WangXian are married. NHS was the only one outside who knew where LZ was and that WangXian were married. WangXian were travelling separately to avoid anyone connecting them together and LZ was meeting up with NHS and traveling to Lanling with the Nie. NMG walked in on them discussing plans at the inn they were staying in but is still unaware and was wondering where LZ had been living since his clothes were of such great quality.

Last I remember, they reached Lanling and the discussion conference was underway or about too. WangXian met again there but WY had to pretend he hadn't seen LZ in a while.

If someone knows this please let me know! Thank you! @cara-tanaka

Combined arms force designated “WESTWING” proceeded to secondary target “HERA.” As predicted by intelligence, minimal ground support was present along supply routes.

Contact at target was heavy, as predicted. Accurate fire from Heavy LRM turrets accounted for heavy damage to non-’Mech units and the loss of CFRI 2C-A4. Careful maneuvering by CAMG Scorpion and attached infantry elements prevented outflank by WoB Heavy Infantry, request for commendation award. SWMC Lances suffered damage, but secured an advantage against the opposing Choir with a lucky Heavy Large Laser headshot against the commanding Grigori.

Ever since I saw Jason Bonham do When the Levee Breaks I’ve been obsessed with the song. It’s just so good.

I attached a clip from the concert of the intro and you can see why I’m suddenly obsessed. The drums are just phenomenal

Also Jason Bonham likes the b side of LZ IV better and he’s so right for that.

LZ experiment sets new record in search for dark matter

New results from the world’s most sensitive dark matter detector put the best-ever limits on particles called WIMPs, a leading candidate for what makes up our universe’s invisible mass.

Figuring out the nature of dark matter, the invisible substance that makes up most of the mass in our universe, is one of the greatest puzzles in physics. New results from the world’s most sensitive dark matter detector, LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ), have narrowed down possibilities for one of the leading dark matter candidates: weakly interacting massive particles, or WIMPs.

LZ, led by the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), hunts for dark matter from a cavern nearly one mile underground at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota. The experiment’s new results explore weaker dark matter interactions than ever searched before and further limit what WIMPs could be.

“These are new world-leading constraints by a sizable margin on dark matter and WIMPs,” said Chamkaur Ghag, spokesperson for LZ and a professor at University College London (UCL). He noted that the detector and analysis techniques are performing even better than the collaboration expected. “If WIMPs had been within the region we searched, we’d have been able to robustly say something about them. We know we have the sensitivity and tools to see whether they’re there as we search lower energies and accrue the bulk of this experiment’s lifetime.”

The collaboration found no evidence of WIMPs above a mass of 9 gigaelectronvolts/c2 (GeV/c2). (For comparison, the mass of a proton is slightly less than 1 GeV/c2.) The experiment's sensitivity to faint interactions helps researchers reject potential WIMP dark matter models that don't fit the data, leaving significantly fewer places for WIMPs to hide. The new results were presented at two physics conferences on August 26: TeV Particle Astrophysics 2024 in Chicago, Illinois, and LIDINE 2024 in São Paulo, Brazil. A scientific paper will be published in the coming weeks.

The results analyze 280 days’ worth of data: a new set of 220 days (collected between March 2023 and April 2024) combined with 60 earlier days from LZ’s first run. The experiment plans to collect 1,000 days’ worth of data before it ends in 2028. 

“If you think of the search for dark matter like looking for buried treasure, we’ve dug almost five times deeper than anyone else has in the past,” said Scott Kravitz, LZ’s deputy physics coordinator and a professor at the University of Texas at Austin. “That’s something you don’t do with a million shovels – you do it by inventing a new tool.”

LZ’s sensitivity comes from the myriad ways the detector can reduce backgrounds, the false signals that can impersonate or hide a dark matter interaction. Deep underground, the detector is shielded from cosmic rays coming from space. To reduce natural radiation from everyday objects, LZ was built from thousands of ultraclean, low-radiation parts. The detector is built like an onion, with each layer either blocking outside radiation or tracking particle interactions to rule out dark matter mimics. And sophisticated new analysis techniques help rule out background interactions, particularly those from the most common culprit: radon.

This result is also the first time that LZ has applied “salting” – a technique that adds fake WIMP signals during data collection. By camouflaging the real data until “unsalting” at the very end, researchers can avoid unconscious bias and keep from overly interpreting or changing their analysis.

“We’re pushing the boundary into a regime where people have not looked for dark matter before,” said Scott Haselschwardt, the LZ physics coordinator and a recent Chamberlain Fellow at Berkeley Lab who is now an assistant professor at the University of Michigan. “There’s a human tendency to want to see patterns in data, so it’s really important when you enter this new regime that no bias wanders in. If you make a discovery, you want to get it right.” 

Dark matter, so named because it does not emit, reflect, or absorb light, is estimated to make up 85% of the mass in the universe but has never been directly detected, though it has left its fingerprints on multiple astronomical observations. We wouldn’t exist without this mysterious yet fundamental piece of the universe; dark matter’s mass contributes to the gravitational attraction that helps galaxies form and stay together. 

LZ uses 10 tonnes of liquid xenon to provide a dense, transparent material for dark matter particles to potentially bump into. The hope is for a WIMP to knock into a xenon nucleus, causing it to move, much like a hit from a cue ball in a game of pool. By collecting the light and electrons emitted during interactions, LZ captures potential WIMP signals alongside other data. 

“We’ve demonstrated how strong we are as a WIMP search machine, and we’re going to keep running and getting even better – but there’s lots of other things we can do with this detector,” said Amy Cottle, lead on the WIMP search effort and an assistant professor at UCL. “The next stage is using these data to look at other interesting and rare physics processes, like rare decays of xenon atoms, neutrinoless double beta decay, boron-8 neutrinos from the sun, and other beyond-the-Standard-Model physics. And this is in addition to probing some of the most interesting and previously inaccessible dark matter models from the last 20 years.”

LZ is a collaboration of roughly 250 scientists from 38 institutions in the United States, United Kingdom, Portugal, Switzerland, South Korea, and Australia; much of the work building, operating, and analyzing the record-setting experiment is done by early career researchers. The collaboration is already looking forward to analyzing the next data set and using new analysis tricks to look for even lower-mass dark matter. Scientists are also thinking through potential upgrades to further improve LZ, and planning for a next-generation dark matter detector called XLZD.

“Our ability to search for dark matter is improving at a rate faster than Moore’s Law,” Kravitz said. “If you look at an exponential curve, everything before now is nothing. Just wait until you see what comes next.”

Hey Yazzy! I just wanted to mention and ask something, as a black woman talking to another black woman. There's this misinformation online that Elvis and British Invasion bands "stole" black music and "didn't credit" them. Here's an example of someone believing that:

There are other bad faith takes I've seen online, especially Twitter, and some Quora answers that are ignorant, I'm just sharing one. This is designed to slander the bands they mentioned.

The thing is.... most of the people who get accused of basically cultural appropriation have almost all acknowledged the original artists at some point, and they are very open when they talk about blues and jazz influences. And for every black person who makes an accusation, which people blindly believe because "of course black people can't be wrong", they're often very dubious or dumb lawsuits anyway, and many black celebrities loved these people. Elvis? He was open about his influence, and he grew up around black people and hung out with them. Then some fools decided he was a racist. In fact many parents who criticized him were not criticizing him being inappropriate, but "too black for comfort". Seriously. The Stones were popular with black people, Tina Turner loved the Stones. Paul McCartney wrote Blackbird as a metaphor for the race riots in America, the Beatles famously refused to play in segregated spots, the peace and love. Nothing was racist about the Beatles, how do you look at that and still think "Beatles are cultural appropriators and hate black people"?. The only questionable rock star from the top of my head was Eric Clapton because of his (albeit drunken but still) rant about how black people don't belong in Europe. Almost all these people played at the HEAVILY BLACK Woodstock, surrounded by black people. Very few musicians actually took advantage of black people. I'm sick of seeing anti-(insert rock star here) propaganda when they should be blaming radio stations for not playing the originals, but instead they blame the bands. Elvis and the British Invasion were not an attempt to "whitewash" or "butcher" black music, if anything they brought it into popularity and often these musicians would use their music to ADVOCATE for black people. By this logic, Kpop should be cancelled for "stealing" western American music without credit.

Sorry about this rant but I needed to get this off my chest. It's so easy to find racism accusations thrown at bands... when if anyone is the problem, the band is the LEAST of the problems, as said bands always turn out to be allies of black people and have a huge black following. Beatles? Black friendly. Who? Black friendly. Kinks? Black friendly. Stones? Black friendly. Animals? Black friendly. LZ? Black friendly. The Stairway to Heaven case was absolutely ridiculous. None of these people did anything wrong. None of these people are racist

https://www.elvis.com.au/presley/the-definitive-truth-about-elvis-presley-and-racism-according-to-b-b-king.shtml

Admittedly I'm not really into these bands so idrk much about em, but like, what's really the issue here if most of the bands have acknowledged the influences or whatnot?

[weiying-lanzhan-fics]

say it's here where our pieces fall in place by Lirelyn

Second time reading this wonderful story. Enjoyed it very, very much! Love getting both LZ and WY POVs and watching their relationship grow.

Quotes:

With Wei Ying he had to be particularly careful because there were so many things he wanted to be true. For a minute he’d thrilled to imagine Wei Ying saving a place for him every Saturday. Thinking of him. Wanting him there. He couldn’t afford to take that seriously; it would hurt too much to learn he’d been wrong.

Besides, making customers feel welcome and happy to be there was part of the barista’s job, and Wei Ying was very, very good at his job. He could appreciate it in that light: a skilled professional at work.

That settled, he returned to the next exam in his stack. The next time Wei Ying called out, “Am I right, Lan Zhan?” in the middle of a discussion with his coworker, Lan Wangji only raised his eyes briefly, causing Wei Ying to laugh and say “Sorry, sorry, I’ll stop bothering you.”

He didn’t, of course. He rarely went more than ten minutes without calling out to Lan Wangji, or catching his eye and grinning, or stopping by his table to ask how his students were faring. “Are you a strict grader, Lan Zhan?” he’d asked once. “I bet you are, I bet you’re one of those teachers that has students bragging in the halls if they get higher than a B minus.”

“I try to give clear expectations and make consistent judgements,” he’d answered, and for some reason Wei Ying had beamed at him.

————

He struck polite off his mental whiteboard of Lan Zhan Traits and replaced it with ruthless. What is your real concern, like it was an obvious evasion and he wasn’t going to waste any more time on it.

In a different world, he could have loved him for it.

“Well, what’s yours?” he said, because if they weren’t going to make this easy they could at least make it fast. “You wanted to talk.”

“Yes.” Lan Zhan paused long enough for him to pace a tight circle twice. “Why did you leave?”

That wasn’t at all what he’d been bracing for. “Why did I — on Saturday?”

“Yes.”

“Uh. I wanted to go home, I — why are you asking that?”

“You saw us, and you left. My son was distressed. As you can imagine, he has experienced abandonment too often already. I would like to understand what caused it in this case.”

Oh my god. Oh my god. He sat down right on the floor, heavy, banging his tailbone. Abandonment, this was about... this wasn’t about what kind of role model he was or any attacks on his character, this was about Lan Zhan thinking he had abandoned A-Yuan. A-Yuan who had already lost his birth parents and a sister and at least one other caregiver and...

E, 68k

Summary:

“It’s okay that you miss him,” said Lan Wangji, a familiar litany to them both by now. “Do you feel sad?”

“I feel sad,” A-Yuan repeated, shoulders hitching with tiny hiccuping sniffs. “When is he coming back?”

“I don’t know. I am not sure where he is.”

But this seemed to frustrate A-Yuan. “Xian-gege! I miss him! Please, baba?” He looked up at him with wet cheeks and a wide, quivering frown. “Please baba can you ask him? I really miss him!” He sobbed again, heartbreakingly.

It stabbed straight through him, cracking open the reservoir of loss and helplessness that was all his own. His child’s grief did that, sometimes. It always took him by surprise. He caught his breath sharply and gathered A-Yuan into his arms, holding him tight until the pain ebbed.

“I will try,” he said softly into A-Yuan’s hair, when he could speak again. He never made uncertain promises and tried not even to raise uncertain hopes, but his son was hurting. His son believed he could make it better. He couldn’t not try.

Wen Qing might at least know who this “Xian-gege” was. He would text her in the morning. It would be a start.

Cor’s Definitive MDZS/CQL Fanfiction Recommendation Page

Hi and welcome!

About me: I'm white and can only speak English, so while I’ve read some analysis and done some research, I know my perspective is limited and I apologize in advance for any mistakes or misinterpretations.

I'm primarily a cql fan, though I did enjoy the donghua. I read the ExR novel translation several years ago and I have a complicated relationship with it, enjoying the explicit character development, humor, worldbuilding, originality, and some romantic scenes, while disliking how homophobia and sexual assault are handled as well as some structural elements. I have no familiarity with the audio drama or mdzs q show. I like tgcf, but the fics here are only for cql/mdzs.

About the fics: Any version of canon, though I prefer cql characterizations. Mostly wangxian, with a handful of other background relationships and some character studies. My favorite characters are wwx, lwj, jyl, wen ning, and jin ling, but lwj has a very special place in my heart. I enjoy jc as a character but find it hard to find fics that write him in a way I agree with. I prefer shorter works.

18+ rec list. Explicit works can be in any category.

I try to include content warnings on fics, depending on how well I remember. Please always defer to the tags and the author notes.

Works will be starred once for faves, and twice for ultimate faves.

Fics recommended in the first 5 sections of this list are guaranteed NOT to have the following

pedophilia/csa, teacher/student relationship, sexual ageplay, explicit works involving the juniors, or any couple with a significant age gap

incest, including wwx with jc, lsz with ljy, and jin ling with lsz. the canon qin su and jgy incest may be mentioned, but I find that comes up rarely

romanticized rape, including everything under the umbrella of noncon, dubcon, fuck or die, sex pollen, sex curses, drunk sex scenes, warprize, nonconsensual somnophilia, necrophilia, etc

note on novel ‘canonical kinks’ - a couple of fics do reference rape fantasy/cnc but they’re few and far between, and only in a few fics will there be any actual scenes of it

abusive or 'dark' wwx or lwj (or anyone not already abusive)

lxc/jgy, 3zun, or xy/xxc unless it’s treated critically. some fics may mention it but none will have scenes of them in a relationship

fics feminizing wwx - some gray area here, but if it's really bad I put it in section 6

genderbends/cisswaps

A/B/O

cop AUs

harry potter crossovers

Section 6 is reserved for fics with one of more of these issues (mostly background 3zun, some weirdness w the sex scenes, or hinted jl/lzs) , but none will have csa or sibling incest.

A note on authors: Vetted to an extent, based on tags for mdzs and cql works only. Anything above is listed in ‘author issues’ section. Current as of early 2023. There should be nobody on here who’s written csa or adult/child smut, so please let me know if you find something I’ve missed.

I haven’t reread all works on this list recently and I may have overlooked something about them. I welcome any corrections.

The list is split into sections and then categories by theme. The fics are otherwise not listed in any particular order.

With no further ado, let’s get to the fanfiction!

Section One: The heart of it all

I: The name of the song: that sweet sweet postcanon getting-together content II: To be in the world again: wei wuxian, relearning how to live III: From then on, he was unable to look away again: postcanon wangxian

Section Two: Snapshots

IV. So this first love was all for you: anything short and sweet! V. If I was doomed to death: angsty flashback-era fics VI. Now try saying something true and beautiful: explicit works that make a point using sex or sex scenes

Section Three: Character

VII. A-xian is my didi: on jiang yanli VIII. I still am: oh, lan wangji IX. Let’s be brothers again: jiang cheng, you clown

Section Four: Possibilities

X. Wicked tricks and beyond: modern with magic AUs XI: In another life: modern AUs - no magic XII. Things that might have been: canon divergences/retellings

Section Five: The Others

XIII. The little ones: works focused on the children XIV. Well well well what have we here: an exploration of other side characters XV: Shenanigans: COMEDY. boy do I love a laugh

Section Six: Lower your standards

XVI: Well you see…: Fics that I am still recommending, but with compunctions XVII: Put on some horse blinders: fics for which I have to list particularly egregious author issues (rape porn, sibling incest) XVIII: The shame corner for naughty fanfiction: fics with issues within the actual work (again, mostly minor)

Section Seven: The Dumpster Fire

He said WHAT?: Fics that are so bad I’m posting them for the sole purpose of complaining about them

Bonus Content

Misc treats: includes interviews, poetry, meta, and writing resources

this concludes my rec list! feel free to send me an ask about anything you found on here. thanks for reading! be well, stay safe, and have fun out there :)

[grapesnolives]

this description is SO accurate, Jimmy just "arranged" with his scarf and hands like someone's Aunt Julie b/w them. Bonzo had more LZ t-shirts than H&M.

This looks like one of those scenes where jonesy and John killed Jimmy and are making it look like he’s still alive. 😭

Like the one in bullet train

1. Hi! I'm trying to find two fics

A) The first one has a scene where wei wuxian and lan wangji meet on the roof during their first meeting and then go to the jingshi. It's either a time travel fic or soulmate au I think (less sure about this partas I could be mixing up fics but I think there was a point where jiang cheng asks where his brother was last night and he replies honestly but jiang cheng doesn't believe him)

B) and the second one was a fic where wei wuxian and lan wangji were penpals before they met at the cloud recess set in canon era

Please help 😭 I'm going crazy

Hi! I'm #1 in Feb 17th ff! B is correct but I'm not sure about A I think they both stayed all night in the jingshi but I could be wrong :/

3. Hello again! I have another ask for the fic finder. I can’t remember all the points in the story but I know at one point Wei WuXian was out when he came across Jin Ling’s dog Fairy that had fallen in a trap set up by other Jin Sect members who liked to bully and pick on Jin Ling. Fairy’s hurt and Wei WuXian gets down into the trap too. Fairy makes the situation easier for Wei WuXian by not making sudden movements. Jiang Cheng and Jin Ling, who are out looking for Fairy, are led by Wei WuXian’s paper man to where Fairy fell. Then Jiang Cheng and Wei WuXian lift Fairy out of the trap together. This is not the focal point of this fic but it is a memorable scene. Thanks in advance! @jikcf

6. Hi! I’ve discovered so many lovely fics through this blog, I really appreciate it! I was hoping you all could help me find a fanfic that I’ve been having trouble locating.

After the Qiongqi prison camp break out, LWJ finds WWX and the Wens on the road, and takes them to Gusu. Most of the Wen are hidden in Caiyi town, bc the citizens of Caiyi town love and trust their Second Jade of Lan and are willing to take in and shelter people at his request. Wen Qing is hidden in the women’s portion of Cloud Recesses. WWX may have been in the Jingshi with LWJ? They exist there, quite peaceably for weeks, with no issues, I think?

Meanwhile, Lanling Jin has put about the WWX and his escaped Wen cultivators have been roaming around the countryside attacking villages with, uh, probably actually attacked villages and deaths to back that story up. LXC has been in Lanling this entire time, I don’t recall what he was doing. On his return to Cloud Recesses, he discovers that WWX and Co have been comfortably ensconced there since the breakout and couldn’t have committed any of the attacks the Jin have blamed on them.

Aaand, that’s about what I remember. I’d really appreciate any suggestions anyone thinks might be it or similar fics. thank you!

FOUND? 💙 Paths untaken by apathyinreverie (T, 6k, wangxian, LSZ & WWX, canon divergence, fix-it, fluff, not cultivation world friendly, smitten LWJ)

FOUND? 🧡 Weep You No More, Sad Fountains by athena_crikey (T, 48k, WangXian, Canon Divergence, Fix-it fic, Whump, Curses, Fever, Delirium, Stabbing, Loneliness, Confessions) is probably not because the beginning is completely different, but it similarly has the wens in caiyi and some other parts sound similar!

7. Hello! I just wanna know a fanfic where lan shizui was adopted by lan wangji because wei ying was in a hospital after the burnt house of the wen, I think he was kicked out of the jiangs but after getting kicked the jiangs wanted him back again after calming down but he said no because he lived with the wens now so back to the point wei ying was in a hospital for many years (comatose?) and lan shizui was confused who was in the photo on lan wangji bedroom (he forgot his childhood) and he took the frame and Jin ling saw it and recognized it and so on and forth (please help me) @lanwuxian0725

8. hello again! I'm looking for a fic that is incomplete (or was when i read it). It takes place during WWX's growing up with the Jiangs. There is an emperor who is a young boy. He meets with the clans every year for tax purposes and for the clans to report how many yao they've killed, etc. WWX goes on a long journey to find/make his spiritual sword? He makes friends with a general in the emperor's army, I think. Thanks for your help! @classygreydove

FOUND! ❤️A Burning Cold by MountainRose (G, 29k, Chronic Illness, Pre-Canon, Nirvana in Fire Fusion, Character Study, Wen Bullshit, Snow Beetle Poison) The general was from Nirvana in Fire (I think), but it's not a complete crossover so it wasn't losted in the fandoms. If it is this one, thank Mojo for including it on the rec blog!

9. Hello !! I've been searching for a fic where WWX is staying at the Jingshi (at some point he makes a lotus pond, and I believe he might've had a garden). He thinks he's unwelcome, and that LWJ is just keeping him around bc he feels obligated. The juniors know LWJ is head-over-heels for WWX & scheme to get them to confess to each other (resulting in disastrous consequences). I also remember LSZ eating with them in the Jinshi at some point. @blundering-owl

10. For fic finder, please! I am looking for a war prize/arranged marriage au where LWJ is given to the Yiling Laozu. The sects think of YLLZ as an evil terror and so LWJ is scared of him at the start. The plot point that I remember is that LWJ isn’t allowed to send letters or something, so after a few months without hearing from him LXC assumes his brother has been killed and he shows up to plead with the YLLZ to take his brother’s body home. WY invites him inside and LXC sees LWJ is actually fine. I don't think WY lets the brothers speak/meet, they can only see each other from across the hall. But after that WY lets them send letters. Thank you in advance for any fics you can point me to!

13. Hi, so I have trouble finding a fic I read, it might have been a time travel fix it. The only scene I remember is between Nie Mingjue and Nie Huaisang, where I think Mingjue is shocked about something Huaisang does and he replies something along the line of " Da-ge if you had died during the war, I would have lead our sect and won the war". I probably didn't halucinate this existing so if anyone remember where this is from, I would be utterly thankful. @creepygirl27

14. hi im looking for this fic where people who are close to wei ying begin to notice bruises and marks on his body. they assume he's being abused by his boyfriend, lan zhan, and one of his friends or family (can't remember who) confront wei ying about it trying to help him. wei ying laughs and says they're all just sex marks @ashxi-wx

15. Does anyone remember a short story where Wangxian were taking the classes you need to to become foster parents and one of their teachers brings up something that upsets Wei Wuxian because the Jiangs never did that for him, and Lan Wangji comforts him. I think it was about being the primary caregiver for that child and the responsibilities inherent to that.

~*~

16. Heyyy. Thank you so much for all the work you do In helping us helpless fans find lost fics.

I wanted to know if you could try and find me the fic where: Wei WuXian is kept captive in the Wen Sect. I think it was like a huge tower or something, I don't think he was ever adopted by Jiang (I think he was and dissappeard). Lan Wangji gets held captive and thrown in the cell of Wei WuXian and they bond even though Wei WuXian gets tortured more the Lan Zhan.

I remember Wei WuXian being a Phoenix (I think) and he always looks up at the sky wanting to be free. Eventually he manages to break Lan Zhan out of the prison and Lan Zhan comes back with back up and swords blazing but Wei WuXian already unleashed his Phoenix powers.

That's what remember.

Thank you so much on advance!!! @thewintersoldier2002

19. Hi! For fic finder, please: I am looking for an arranged marriage au where Wei Wuxian married into the Lan clan and for some reason (I think because he was the “wife”) they placed him in the women’s section of the sect compound. The Jiang hadn’t separated by gender so he was used to working alongside women, but the Lan women were a little disturbed by his presence at first. But Wei Wuxian eventually was accepted by them and he started helping out with their tasks, making talismans and the like, and the women really supported him. I can’t remember how the fic ended or what Lan Wangji thought of Wei Wuxian being over there. Would love to read this again if anyone can point me towards it, thank you!

20. Hello! The fic I’m looking for is an AU, modern setting, and I think? based off a movie? Though i don’t remember which one. LWJ was essentially kidnapped at a young age by the Wens and then “trained” to kill whoever they told him to. He escapes them and stumbles upon WWX. WWX runs a music shop, Wen Ning is very involved, Wen Yuan is a little kid and cared for by WWX. WWX assumes LWJ is just homeless and had a very bad life, ends up taking him in and helping him. Eventually the Wens are beaten and LWJ gets reunited with his brother he hardly remembers and learns how to be human again. I’m so annoyed that I can’t find my bookmark for this anymore lmao

[where-i-bitch-about-nashville]

so ive built mic pre’s with just about every Nashville related sound that is near to me, and there’s one for every decade!

50’s/early 60’s: RCA style tube pre (I really got Daven pots/attenuators, and RCA/Western Electric/Audio Dev Corp transformers — a small fortune in vintage parts to cobble together this fall!)

late 60’s: Melcor AML-27’s (sometimes sold branded RCA; Ge DOAs and MEC iron transformers)

70’s: API 2098 console pre’s as line booster cage cards (this is what Sal modded that is in operation at RCA studio B since it became the museum; Si DOAs and Jensen Ni-Steel transformers)

80’s: Valley People MP-1000 mic pres (these were made in Nashville but no close connection to me or my Nashville recording roots, but they were designed by Paul C. Buff, they’re transformerless, IC-based ‘hybrid’ op amps called the TransAmp #LZ, short for transimpedance amplifier and also

🏳️‍⚧️)… ooh i also got the 1980’s TOA RX-216 console from The Bennet House Studio when it became a BnB, it wasnt their main console, it probably mixed cue sends or was just used for its analog effects section but it has Japanese made transformers an NE5332 ICs all over it and sounds so lo-fi! It’s a fixer upper ;) maybe with ICs swapped for faster ones it will sound like a cheeseburger in paradise

90’s: if there’s a Nashville sound of the 90’s then it is probably something i dont want like a soundcraft plugged to a Digi888 interface

00’s: kinda the same as the 90’s, but all the really good sounds were the 70’s stuff in studios here anyway if they were buying/keeping/trashing gear based on what it actually sounds like and not marketing hype so… idk it’s probably an OctoPre into a Digi IO102 interface? nothing i have

2010’s: Miktek MPA-201, another made in Nashville special to me that I use for everything, it’s really a revisitation of the Neve 1073 preamp section. more 70’s stuff! (Si single class A big footprint can transistor, and AMI transformers with some awesome Ni-Steel and secret sauce alloys)

I never got monster hunter rise because I usually only play Xbox. But I recently got a switch, I got the demo for rise but Im not sure how I feel about the controls lol is it worth it getting the full game?

I think base Rise wasn’t that good, some weird choices in terms of how the game progressed and the fact most hunts were a bit too easy, the wirebug is broken if you learn to use it well (never get hit)

Maybe I’m being snobby because World/Iceborne was just that incredible to me but the lack of hand holding and longer fights felt so much more rewarding when you finally beat the wall of a monster hindering your progress

That said despite my negative thoughts — I did enjoy Rise I really had fun and whilst it took a while to learn the controls its pretty fun zooming around monsters, with the bug all weapons can become aerial — something I enjoyed alot, I’m so spoiled now whenever I go back to World get knocked on my ass and wish I had the bug recovery skill 😂

now Sunbreak is out I’ve only heard good things about the DLC which basically smooths out what the base game lacked (more monsters more locales n quests), so I think if you’re looking for a beginners MH game this is it, but when Master rank starts its pretty punishing

Pros: all weapons become pretty accessible due to wire bug, great weapon/armor designs and music (hehehfh just a quality of life thing), palamutes!!! Doggos are the best addition i adore my palamutes so much, rampages: i know this is controversial but lorewise and epicness Rampages are so fucking cool youre there nyooming between monsters kicking ass its just really cool, there feels like the rise universe has more life to it? I actually care abt some of the characters bc they help you out (main reason I made my MH au its very cuteee)

Cons: too easy? Anyone can breeze through the game without needing to farm much, so if you dont like the grind this is ok, the maps…? Idk something about the maps feels eh but theyre not a big deal problem for me and the arena fights are cool

Bonus Con: You must at all costs learn how to use the wirebug because theres a couple fights where you have to use all the skills with it and that kinda made me panic because muscle memory and using a controller isn’t easy for me, I scraped through and O still can’t really get that fight so I just escape before the big attacks akfhfje

Sorry this was really long I think, personally I recommend to buy it on sale if youre not sure? Idk when that would happen though, but if you’re looking to try out a more dynamic fresh approach to monster hunter this is it

I would rate base game 7/10 haven’t started Sunbreak yet so maybe this will change

Edit: forgot to add!! I actually only played rise for a few hours when i first got it then I kinda dropped it for like four weeks 😂 then i told myself nah learn it you bought it get your money from it and here I am
