1. Hi! I hope you can help me find this fic.

Wangxian is married here. Lan zhan was cursed to forget his love to wei ying and wei ying did everything (like studying the curse) to lift it out. I remember in the end, Lwj remember his love to wei ying and apologized to wwx for treating him bad. He felt guilty and resentful to himself but wwx assured him that its fine since he was cursed

2. Can anyone help me find a fic where part of it talks about how if he'd asked, JY would have done WWX's hair for him like she did JC's, but he never asked so he learnt on his own (possibly to avoid YZY's rage?)

FOUND? Always walked a very thin line by tucuxi (T, 22k, NHS & WWX, JYL & WWX, WangXian) It's a small bit that happens when NHS is brushing WWX's hair, and WWX thinks that nobody's done that for a long time

~*~

3. Hello!! I'm looking for a jiang wanyin/lan xichen centric fic where jc is stuck in a time loop??

He repeats his lives 5-6 times and lan xichen remembers all the timelines where he actually already loved jc

But he married meng yao as a friendship marriage in one tl

In another tl jc murdered meng yao and lxc witnesses amd goes into seclusion because of it

combining the lxc/jc + the time loop tags yields only three fics so it should be easy to find the right one (i haven't read any of them so i wasn't sure), and looking for lxc/jc + searching the word 'groundhog' turns up one more fic but it doesn't seem relevant to the ask

NOT FOUND! Incrementally by xxdz (M, 15k, WIP, XiCheng, Time Loop, Horror, Murder Mystery, Inspired by Happy Death Day (Movies), Post-Canon, Blood and Injury, Hurt/Comfort, Temporary Character Death, Character Study)

4. you guys are wonderful! thank you so much for all your help finding fics!!! i have a half itmf/half fic finder question --- any angsty dark lan clan fics that focus on wei ying, but especially one where they break his soul bond(?) with Lan Zhan --- i think i remember one where later on they need WY's help - any suggestions greatly appreciated!

5. hello! theres this fic i know i read on ao3 but cant seem to find in my history or bookmarks. i hope it wasnt deleted. its post canon, lan zhan and wei ying go out on a mission but lan zhan gets infected or hit with a curse without them noticing, and starts gradually losing all his senses, starting with hearing, then i think sight, then so on until he cant move or do anything at all and he’s at risk of death. wei ying and lan xichen figure out together how it happened and they save him so lan zhan is completely healed by the end. i believe it was either M or E rated bc there were a couple sex scenes early on but i dont think they were very explicit. i hope you can find this fic, thank you so much!!

8. Hello! The fic I am looking for is one where Jiang Cheng somehow erases Wei Wuxian from existence. Jiang Yanli lives as a consequence, but now everyone is subjugated by the Wen, as without WWX the Sunshot Campaign lost. I have only seen this fic in passing and really want to read it but now I can't find it lol. I remember that there was a tag for "Lan Zhan | Lan Wangji / Wei Ying | Wei Wuxian", so I assume at some point they get him back, but I cannot remember any more details other than this. Thank you so much for your help and I hope you have a wonderful day!!! @coffeeshopdragons

9. hi ! me again 😅 i was wondering if any of you know the fic where lan wangji forgets about his love for wei wuxian (i think he got cursed?) and is very indifferent towards him. It starts with him forgetting to buy chili oil for wy to him not wanting to spend time together anymore. At one point he asks wwx “why did i marry you?”. I think lwj was conscious the entire time he was cursed and was heartbroken bc he could see how everything he said and did was hurting wy. I knew i read it recently but i cant find it in my history for some reason. thanks so much you guys are amazing <33 @makkachiin

10. Hello! Currently looking for a fic in which LWJ and WWX spent a night together in a tent and there was misunderstanding when LWJ woke up thinking he forced WWX to have papapa-

JC ends up threatening LWJ if WWX ends up preggo then he will not be allowed to see them (I think Wuxian was a carrier??), because JYL then entered the tent right after LWJ left and saw WWX all bruised up (it was hickies) whilst passed out (sleeping only) and assumed LWJ SA her Xianxian. JGY and LXC are also there-

11. Hi, I'm looking for a fic where wei ying starts out in the modern world as a doctor who has fallen on hard times and can't practice as one anymore because of previous mistakes. He dies in a lab explosion and gets sent to the canon-time cultivation world, where everyone believes he's an evil megalomaniac. Lan zhan realizes that wei ying isn't evil and takes him back to cloud recesses, where wei ying learns cultivation - there is some smutty dual cultivation involved, then comes happy every after. @annie-booksforfood

12. Hiya! I saw on this post for Medium Blues over on WangxianFicRecs that there's a short sequel to the fic, but I haven't been able to find it anywhere. I looooove the fic so much and would really like to read the sequel, so I'm wondering if anyone happens to have more info or a copy? Thank you! @gentil-minou (the author may have deleted the sequel because medium blues had been deleted before - Mod C)

Oooh I do remember that a medium blues sequel was begun but I think only a chapter or so was posted?

~*~

13. Hey, can you please help me find a series?

It's about a-Yuan, and he could see ghosts/spirits. He could see WWX, he drew Madam Lan, and he spoke about YZY to JC when he was in Lotus Pier and called her violet spider. @utxqia

14. Hello, this for the “Find a Specific Fic” tag. I’ve been looking for fic staring a older Lan Wangji who gets sent back to the cloud recess ark, and meets his younger self who becomes jealous. The younger Lan Wangji is jealous because Wei Ying is no longer pestering him anymore, opting to instead follow the older Lan Wangji who spoils him. Hopefully this helps, and thank you for your hard work. Sincerely, Bianca. @biancabaryonx

~*~

15. Hello, I'm trying to find a fic where both Mo Xuanyu and Wei Wuxian get cursed. All I can remember is that Lan Wangji ends up in the woods and WWX helps him getting out, but when he tries to thank him WWX disappears. LWJ then finds the Jiangs and inquires about him but they can't actually remember him: they only remember they had a brother once (I think?). Hope this makes enough sense and thanks in advance

17. I'm back, like any other wangxian addict, for more ficfinding expertise!

A) always a girl WY is emperor LXC's concubine, who he shares with LWJ. Of course the 2 are in love and when LXC starts to tire of her and politics get in the way, they stage a withdrawal/escape and live happily ever after far away from the emperor in the south?

18. Hi hello, I'm struggling to find this wangxian ao3 I'm hoping that it was not deleted. I don't really remember much but wei ying didn't die but got save from falling of a the cliff and when he gain consciousness he can't remember his name that's why the one who saved him gave him another identity and his been living that identity for years. On wangji side, this is still part of the story he raises lan yuan by himself, actually no one died in this fic jiang yanli is still alive

~*~

19. Hello! Good day! I hope you can help me find this fic. I don’t know if it is a time-travel fic or not. All I can remember is that Madam Yu got pregnant and the sect leader, jiang yanli, jiang cheng, and wwx were happy. But eventually they learned that madam yu cheated (i forgot if its a wen or not) so the baby is actually not sect leader jiang’s child. I think they learned this after the masscre of lotus pier when madam yu ranaway.

20. Hi. I'm looking for a fic that I was pretty sure was luckmoonly's and was in the many lan babies series but now I am worried about my brain because it's not there and the traces of it are gone, to the point I think I hallucinated that fic. But if I remember the title was "The fault in my core" and WWX was supposed to get his core removed but they found a core baby near it so they didn't continue the operation. Pls tell me I was just looking at the wrong place with my f-ed up memory 🥹 and the fic is somwhere out there and I was just too stupid to find it. Thank u in advance! ❤️

FOUND! The fic was deleted. All your informations (name, author etc.) were correct. I have a copy, if you want one. - @bluekittenfire

Chapters: 6/6 Fandom: 莲花楼 | Mysterious Lotus Casebook (TV) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Di Feisheng/Fang Duobing/Li Lianhua Characters: Li Lianhua, Fang Duobing, Di Feisheng Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Angst with a Happy Ending, Suicidal Ideation, Post-Canon Fix-It, found family fluff, Sick Character, Hurt/Comfort Summary:

The sharp edge of a sword presses into his cheek. Rainwater drenches his clothes, stings against his wounds. Their eyes meet between the frame of their swords. He breathes, watching as moonlight softens his opponent’s gaze. A shred of something wistful twists like a knife in his chest. Why must it be this way?

Guardian episode 23 aftermath fic rec list

A sort of follow-up to the rec list I made for episode 33 centric fics inspired by an anonymous ask. I also adore episode 23 as much as episode 33 (what is it with episodes ending in 3 being full of pain?) so once again I am back with a list filled with hurt/comfort-y goodness focusing on The Knife Scene(tm) and emotional aftermath from episode 23. Once again ordered by word count cause for whatever reason that is my favorite method of fic organization and reading. Enjoy!

unspoken words by willowcatkin @willowcatkinblossom​ | <1k | ZYL POV

+A snapshot of Zhao Yunlan’s emotions and thoughts during the knife scene, includes the bomb scene at the end

What We Owe by wrote_and_writ | <1k | SW POV

+Set immediately after the knife scene, ZYL stops SW from leaving, extending the conversation from the episode, literal sleeping together

Careless Blood by sakana17 @sakana17 | 1k | ZYL POV

+More of a missing scene set after the knife scene but not directly after, dealing with ZYL realizing how weakened SW has become after an attack by the crow tribe, wound tending

far away from my fears by laireshi @laireshi​ | 1k | SW POV

+Not set during episode 23 but concerns direct consequences of that scene and brief dialogue on it, SW being introspective on how much time he doesn’t have has left, thinking about his ultimate plan, ZYL demasking him, hugging

Weighed Against Each Other by syriala @bloody-bee-tea​ | 1k | ZYL POV

+Set during and immediately after the knife scene, ZYL not letting SW leave, first kiss, cuddling, laying in bed together, confession of love, hint of Dixingren physiology

Still Want You By My Side by Hils @hils79​ | 2k | ZYL POV

+Set during and immediately after the knife scene, ZYL persuading SW to stay with him, eating together, literal sleeping together

Fade To Black by FrameofMind @frameofmind6​ | 2k | ZYL POV

+Wherein the knife scene turns into smut, explicit

Entwined by velithya | 2k | ZYL POV

+ZYL goes to SW’s apartment a few hours after the knife scene, he forces SW to explain more and then to fix it, first kiss, implied fix-it for the whole series

Made to Care by bocje_ce_ustu @bocje-ce-ustu​ | 2k | ZYL POV

+Half set during 24 and half as a missing scene, still focuses on the knife scene, the wound leaves a scar, SW has to do it again, ZYL has healing touch, kissing, banter, Da Qing cameo

Make a Gamble, Take a Gamble by Trobadora | 7k | ZYL POV

+First half is feels, second half is smut, set during episode 24 but mostly focusing on the emotional aftermath of episode 23, ZYL realizing some things about how much both of them would be willing to sacrifice for each other, first kiss, first time, explicit

down comes the night by egelantier @egelantier​ | 9k | SW POV

+More of a canon divergence dealing with the consequences of SW’s weakness following episode 23, the emotional aftermath of the secrets kept between them and ZYL’s frustration, getting trapped in a cave together and forced to communicate, implied fix-it for the rest of the series (hopefully), an absolute favorite of mine, comfort fic I have read at least a dozen times

[languidlotus]

Tag nine people you want to get to know better.

I was tagged by @jupiter-86. Thank you so much! :)

Favorite color: lime green, but lately I've started liking pink a lot too. (Generally soft or dark pink, not the brighter shades.)

Currently reading: Not really anything, since I have very little time. However, the last fic I read was far from the shore by willowcatkin.

Last song: On my spotify, which is purely kpop and used when I travel to work every day, it was Love Me by NU'EST.

On youtube, which I use as background music for drawing and answering emails, it was this heartbreaking song from the Goodbye My Princess OST. (Everything about that show is heartbreaking, to be fair.)

Last series: The last series I finished was Tiger and Crane. The last series I watched an episode from was Heaven Official's Blessing Season 2.

Last movie: As Long As We Both Shall Live/My Happy Marriage.

Sweet/Savory/Spicy: Savory. Sweet in moderate amounts.

Currently working on: Oh boy. I have drawn and lined three drawings for my prompt challenge and sketched three more. I also sketched Di Feisheng from Mysterious Lotus Casebook, which originally wasn't for the challenge but I might make it so anyway. I already tagged a bunch of people last time I did this challenge, so...just do it if you feel like it. XD

Chapters: 5/6 Fandom: 莲花楼 | Mysterious Lotus Casebook (TV) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Di Feisheng/Fang Duobing/Li Lianhua Characters: Li Lianhua, Fang Duobing, Di Feisheng Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Angst with a Happy Ending, Suicidal Ideation, Post-Canon Fix-It, found family fluff, Sick Character, Hurt/Comfort Summary:

Di Feisheng has always liked snow.

The Lotus House’s old doors creak infuriatingly even as he tries to close them carefully. He sets a lantern next to him on the steps and clears a space for himself to sit down.

The cold lingers in his lungs, and he breathes it out in white puffs of air. It’s been years since the last time he saw anything like this, and there’s a dull ache in his chest as he watches the snowflakes fall gently, covering everything in a soft, thick layer of snow.

It’s very quiet.

Chapters: 8/? Fandom: 原生之罪 | Original Sin (TV) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Chi Zhen/Lu Li, Lu Li/Chi Zhen Characters: Lu Li, Chi Zhen Additional Tags: Alternate Universe, Ancient China AU that is very historically inaccurate Summary:

He doesn’t have the slightest idea where Yulei is. His only hope is to pay his father’s lieutenant a visit, but if he doesn’t know either, Chi Zhen will have wasted time. He needs at least two days to travel back to the capital, assuming the sword won’t be tremendously far away. But it doesn’t matter if he’s late. As long as he can find it, there shouldn’t be any issues.

If Chi Zhen can’t, he honestly doesn’t know if he’s allowed to stop searching.

[booksandwords]

He’d kept the flowers on a whim, but perhaps Boya is the only one caught in this net of lingering desire. It’s a sweltering, suffocating thing—as though wings were still burning between his shoulder blades, sustained by the empty ache in Boya’s chest. It lives in every breath he takes, echoing in the notes of his flute as though it’s been etched into Boya’s very soul

the resting place of my soul is you by willowcatkin/  @willowcatkinblossom

Oh this is just so beautiful. You managed to capture them so well and it so well. The atmosphere building is stunning.

Tuesday T & G reading

I’m actually looking at finishing my >10k read through of my ao3 to-read list tomorrow. I’m on page 1. So then I’ll go back to page 60 or so and work on >15k fics.

Finished

Teen:

Baking 101: Ponytails Are A Must, by JiangChengLotus (10th in a series)

“Was all of that really necessary?”

“I needed your help.” Lan Wangji replied simply.

“You needed my help? ” Jiang Cheng scoffed in disbelief. “You threatened my disciples to let you into my quarters, blind-folded me and then carried me here, on your back, like a sack of potatoes all because you ‘needed my help’?!”

“Mn.”

Jiang Cheng grabbed the closest bowl he could find and flung it at his brother-in-law.

(Or, Lan Wangji wants to learn how to bake. Jiang Cheng tries to teach him. (Keyword: Tries) Bickering, explosions and pony-tails ensue)

love of mine, someday you will die (but i'll be close behind), by ryneisaterriblefan

‘Is it bad that I’m happy because I’m dead? I mean, people hated me back there. The Wen remnants are dead. My siblings hate me. What use did I have for that world?’

Lan Wangji does not reply. He does not know how to.

‘But you,’ Wei Wuxian says, whispers, with the slightest hint of a smile that hurts, ‘But you, Hanguang-jun, you have people who love you, people who care for you. You have a family.’

Lan Wangji nods, slowly, eyes never leaving Wei Wuxian’s as he reaches out and brushes a stray strand of hair from Lan Wangji’s cheek.

‘Why did you risk it all for me?’

‘I,’ he says, and then stops. It’s too much to explain, but he tries anyways. ‘Would not want to be without Wei Ying.’

or: an AU where lan wangji dies together with wei wuxian and they spend thirteen years reconciling.

overcast, by willowcatkin (2 chapters)

In a different occurrence of events, Wei Ying owns a small musical instrument shop, and Lan Wangji treads along a narrow path, guided by the Lan sect’s principles. But when no one is there to reveal the water ghouls hidden under Lan Wangji’s boat, he strays off his written path.

Shijie deserves better (aka Wei Wuxian and the bestest idea), by tropicalpenguin

With SunShot Campaign over it's time for rebuilding and strenghtening relationships. And Wei Wuxian just found the best match for his Shijie (because fuck you Jin Zixuan, Shijie deserves better!).

YunmengJiang siblings' love runs deeper than even Wei Wuxian's dumbassery.

Jiang Cheng likes his sword, by tropicalpenguin (2nd in a series)

Jiang Cheng helps his idiot brother peacefully invade Cloud Recesses to find Lan Wangji. Though "peacefully" is a word outside of Wei Wuxian's dictionary so there is nothing peaceful about it. Lan Qiren might need a medic.

And cultivators are weirdly attached to their swords...

Lan Xichen didn't expect that, by tropicalpenguin (3rd in a series, 3 chapters)

Wangji and Wei Wuxian are happily engaged and the preparations for the wedding begin! Would be great if the grooms cared at least a little bit, but they have awesome older siblings to do it for them! (Jiang Cheng is just paying for everything)

Or where Lan Xichen is really thankful for Jiang Yanli's existence because he can fight fierce corpse, but choosing wedding robes is hard.

Jiang Cheng's day of WTF?!, by tropicalpenguin (6th in a series, 2 chapters)

Jiang Cheng was having a really good day and then GusuLan suddenly invaded Lotus Pier in the flourish of robes, gifts and proposals?!

Lan Xichen wants to court Yanli?!

Yanli wants to be courted by Lan Xichen?!

Jiang Cheng might get the mother of all headaches.

EXTRA - How Lan Wangji acquires kids, by tropicalpenguin (7th in a series)

Wangji never thought he would be anyone's husband and much less a father. And now he finds himself with rapidly increasing number of kids. Not that he actually notices it's happening.

The one where Wangji actually has a part of his heart that doesn't completely belong to Wei Ying.

Perfect Match, by nirejseki (2 chapters; 2nd is art)

In his youth, Wen Ruohan had heard romantics dream aloud about finding a dao companion gifted from the heavens – a perfect match, suitable in every way; willingly cultivating with such a match would be three times as effective as what could be obtained from even the most ruthlessly extracted cauldron.

He’d always assumed it was an exaggeration. If not an exaggeration, then at minimum it was something that was simply irrelevant to him.

He had underestimated the generosity of the heavens.

EXTRA - Jiang Cheng makes a friend, by tropicalpenguin (8th in a series)

Being a Sect Leader is hard work and Jiang Cheng pours all his time into it (when his assistant is watching him). He doesn't have time for friends! However, he can't do anything when someone is imposing their presence... Although maybe he should start getting worried about his brother.

The one where Jiang Cheng makes a very unexpected friend.

Jiang Yanli and all her amazing boys, by tropicalpenguin (9th in a series, 2 chapters)

Jiang Yanli is betrothed to the most wonderful man and she chose him. Wedding only in a couple of months, so many things to plan and prepare! While Xichen showers her with affection and makes her feel like the best woman in the world...

While some people just can't let go...

Hopping Into Your Bed and Heart, by FrozenHawFlakes (2nd in a series)

In the jingshi, Wei Ying looked down and saw a rabbit. All plans of his to disgust this recently transformed person was thrown out of the window as he squealed and hugged the rabbit.

“Like this you won’t be able to escape even if you wanted to.” The bunny stiffened before resting its paws against his chest.It was cute how it tried to close the collars of Wei Ying’s inner robes together with its stubby paws, to cover Wei Ying’s bare skin. The ears tickled against his bare throat, it brought a slight chuckle out of his lips. If cultivators could speak in their animal forms, Wei Ying did not doubt that the words that will come out of his mouth would be ‘shameless!’

Cursed hour of the animal series AU.

Cultivators are powerful. To bring about a balance the gods have decided that in return for the power to cultivate each of them shall bear a curse to transform into an animal in a specific hour of the day.

Lan Zhan's curse is a rabbit.

Yiling Laozu's Moving Castle, by Eleanor_Fenyx

For the MXTX Reverse Trope Fest prompt: Anti de-aging / Becoming elderly

Lan Wangji stops in his tracks at the sound of a low whistle, the sound sending shivers up his hunched spine. Everyone knows the stories of the Yiling Laozu and what he can accomplish with just a whistle, but Lan Wangji need only remind himself that the Yiling Laozu only attacks the young, the attractive, the obnoxiously wealthy for the fear of danger to dissipate.

“That’s some curse,” the man says now, and Lan Wangji turns around as quickly as his aching joints will allow to find the man himself standing on the path behind him, arms crossed over his exposed (!) chest and a smirk on his lips.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Lan Wangji replies stiffly. “I am simply here to join your Sect.”

The Yiling Laozu throws his head back and laughs, the sound ringing off the dead, twisted trees around them and exposing the long line of his throat. Lan Wangji’s eyes track it unconsciously, starting at his smiling mouth, his perfect teeth (no fangs, he’s relieved to see, despite what the storytellers in the village claim).

Mirage, by Aki_no_hikari (2nd in a series)

Living in the Burial Mounds is not easy. The air is thick with the scent of decay and the resentful energy never rests, always seeking a way to feed on the living. Not even strong cultivators can escape their effect. Specially when their guards are lowered with exhaustion.

Dating Game, by Roslyn_Frisson

Modern AU, no cultivator powers mentioned.

CW: Fairly severe panic attack.

After the Drought, by Aki_no_hikari (4th in a series)

Point of divergence: chapter75, lwj stays to eat that night… and seeing that they need him, he stays the next day and the next...

Driven by feelings and morals, Lan Wangji leaves the Cloud Recesses and his family behind. Fourteen years of hardship later, he comes back as a father and leader.

Lan Wangji's death has followed him all his life.

Cursed Hour: Hawk (a sword and wings to fly with), by FrozenHawFlakes

Wei Ying loved to fly, on his sword, with the air flowing through his hair; with his wings, and the cool air current rushing through his face.

Wei Ying loved to fly, even when he couldn’t.

Cursed hour of the animal series AU:

Cultivators are powerful. To bring about a balance the gods have decided that in return for the power to cultivate each of them shall bear a curse to transform into an animal in a specific hour of the day.

Wei Ying's curse form is a hawk and he discovers it young after his parents die.

A series of shorts following the fic Midnight Clarity, some good fluff and stuff while Nie Mingjue does his best to support Nie Huaisang as his brother readjust after everything that's happened.

The debts of some hurts cannot be fixed by words alone, by rollymolly

As she sees him pained and hurting, withdrawing into himself, Wen Qing decides that she can do more. She decides then, that she can give him back some of what he has given up to keep them safe. It is what propels her to ask "Wei Wuxian, teach me demonic cultivation.”
