Gift for tuples on AO3 for the @mdzs-mixtape

Summary:

“Perhaps, though I can't say I'm any less angry than I usually am. Just better at not unleashing it wantonly.” Jiang Cheng kicked an offensive clump of grass. “I've learned though, on matters that were purposefully kept from my knowledge that I can't blame myself for not knowing, y’know?”

Lan Xichen regarded him quietly without answering. Could it really be that simple?

“At least that's what I think. But perhaps I'm not making much sense.” Jiang Cheng winced.

“Not at all,” Lan Xichen smiled gently. “If anything, you’ve given me something to ponder. Something that makes my previous involvements less…bleak.”

Jiang Cheng smiled. “I’m happy I could help, Zewu-jun.”

Lan Xichen found himself taken aback. Jiang Cheng's smile wasn't something sardonic or sneering like he'd seen in the past. But once again, it was a hint at a youth he'd seen long ago. It was hesitant and boyish, a refreshing sight after so many memories of fox-curled lips plastered to the sparks against snow.

MDZS Mixtape 2024!

We’re back! (And for everyone expecting this to come out 3 days ago, I'm sorry, we failed, but we are here!)

Ever find that one song that always makes you think of a favorite character, pairing, ship, or friendship? This is for the songs that won't leave your head when you read a fic, the songs you play on repeat incessantly, the ones that get added to those character dedicated playlists we all have.

So why not have an exchange where someone listens to that song, over and over and over, and then writes you a fic on it?

REQUIREMENTS:

Fic only exchange

1500 minimum word count

Must have ao3/post to ao3

DATES:

Sign-Ups: Open Now  Sign-Ups Close: Jan 28, 2024 Assignments: Feb 4, 2024 Posting Starts: April 7, 2024 Posting Ends: April 13, 2024

HOW IT WORKS:

---SIGN UP HERE---

Pick a song, pick a pairing, write a fic, enjoy the ride. It’s that simple, you write a fic, you get one in return.

And when we’re done, we’ll make a Spotify playlist of all the songs.

Part of MDZS Mixtape Exchange-2024

Summary: “When a living person enters this place, there’s no coming back—for the body or the soul." Kay's comments: What an amazing story this was!! It was poetic and beautifully written. The scene and mood setting just really got to me. Disclaimer that I'm biased since this story was written for me and it just ticked all the right boxes, so of course, I love it. It's post-canon established Wangxian, but most of the chapter depicts a nightmare Wei Wuxian is having, remembering his time in the Burial Mounds. Really delivers well on the hurt/comfort. Excerpt: Darkness is either a reprieve or an agony. In the Burial Mounds, surrounded by bone and writhing, ravenous death, the darkness was all that existed. In those dark, desolate months, Wei Wuxian was weighed down by a fog of confusion and chaos, trailed by shadows that had red slitted eyes and sharp rows of bloodstained teeth. There was nothing to cling onto. There was no escape. It was an unending nightmare. He drifted in and out of consciousness - the only stars that accompanied him were the ones that shone bright from memory, more a cruel taunt than anything else. Yet somehow, those ragged threads of bygone days were all he could follow out of that hell; the scattered light at the end of the tunnel. The stars he yearned and bled to see again. He could not die there. Wei Wuxian refused it.

pov wei wuxian, post-canon, canon compliant, established relationship, nightmares, disturbing themes, wei wuxian's three months in the burial mounds, hurt/comfort, emotional hurt/comfort, angst with a happy ending, mild gore

thispatternismine: Don't forget the MDZS Kinkmeme. Not an event as such, but since anon seems more after writing prompts to encourage them to get writing, it might fit what they want. 2024 one is here.

Linking the 2023 kinkmeme as well because there are still prompts there.
