now i'm a fat house cat (nursing my sore blunt tongue) by TheGreatSwordSwallower
now i’m a fat house cat (nursing my sore blunt tongue)
by TheGreatSwordSwallower (@i-swallowed-bichen-for-dinner)
T, 12k, Wangxian
Summary: There is a cat. A kitten, really. Black, cowering in fear, chest tufted with white that matches its paws. It is very round. There is also a frog trapped under its little claws and teeth. “…” Ribbit! The cat raises its head. Large grey eyes blink up at Lan Wangji. It drops the frog. Quickly, the frog hops away, faster as Lan Wangji watches it go with incredulous eyes. He turns back to the cat. Then, “…Wei Ying?” or: During another day of rule-breaking and rule-copying, Wei Wuxian turns into a cat and Lan Wangji decides he’s a certified pet lover then and there. Mojo's commments: This was absolutely precious. And so beautifully written, I love Author's style. Kay's comments: Honestly, we were robbed in canon for not having been given an opportunity to see Lan Wangji interact with a cat, because honestly, he's such a cat guy! (Though of course I love the rabbits). In this story we get the added bonus of it being teen Lan Wangji! And the kitten in question is Wei Ying who's running on instincts pretty much, so he's constantly purring and making biscuits. Very adorable! Excerpt: The back mountains are soft with moss and laced with heat. Here, no one is watching. The rules do not stretch so high. Lan Wangji sets Wei Ying down beneath a peach tree, and the cat immediately explodes into motion — zigzagging through tall grass, sniffing violently at wildflowers, attacking shadows, chasing the summer frogs with the devotion of a saint and the chaos of a Wei Ying. His tail sticks straight up like an antenna. There are bees, buzzing wildly as they are shooed away from the small fat cat trampling down their pollinated flowers. The small fat cat, Wei Ying, isn’t afraid. Lan Wangji follows at a distance, step by step, listening to the rustle of leaves, the hum of summer, the occasional crash of Wei Ying body-slamming into a clump of daisies. The air smells like cut grass and distant rain. His sleeves catch on brambles, and he doesn’t care, mindful only of the inkstain blot of Wei Ying darting across the grass. Wei Ying leaps after a blue butterfly. Misses. Tries again. Misses again.

Dip your feet into the lake, sip on your lemonade, and enjoy reading some fantastic fan fic! P.S. Thanks for all your hard work with this blog! You're awesome! doctorbunsenhoneydew

by vesna (mrsronweasley)
E, 64k, Wangxian
Summary: Lan Zhan nods as the boat nears the dock and the figure becomes clearer. It's a young man with dark hair down to his shoulders and a wide smile. He is also Asian, and as he turns his gaze to Lan Zhan, Lan Zhan finds himself robbed of breath for the second time that day. The young man is beautiful. He could, Lan Zhan thinks, be Lan Zhan's age, possibly a bit younger. He's tan, wearing a bright pink shirt with the restaurant logo on it, and cargo shorts. He has a small mole under his lower lip. "Hey, guys!" he greets with a wave. "Need a hand?" "Yes, please, if you don't mind," Lan Huan shouts back. He gets up and begins the preparations for docking, handing the young man several ropes. "Thank you, Wei Ying." Wei Ying. That's the boy's name.

Summary: After an unhappy confrontation with his agency, renowned guqin player and accomplished composer Hanguang-jun makes a sudden retreat from the public eye. Lan Wangji moves to a tiny village barely on the maps for the summer. He's there for seclusion, to cool down, to reflect on his behaviour - but he finds so much more than he even knew he was looking for. That summer - cicada song. bamboo groves. fresh peaches. ink smudges and guqin strings. Our summer. [ russian translation | spanish translation ]

The safest place to be by murmurcury
The safest place to be

E, 16k, Wangxian
Part of the MDZS Reverse Big Bang: 2025
Summary: A year after the loss of his sister, Wei Ying navigates life without her. He misses her every second, and he has become even more estranged from his family than before, but in spite of it all he has found love—a love that makes him happy and hopeful and stronger. He is sure he wants to spend the rest of his life with Lan Zhan, but he struggles to come out and take things a step further. When an unexpected invitation from Jiang Cheng reunites Wei Ying with his family, old wounds are reopened and he is left in distress. Even in pain (or maybe because of it), he finds this the perfect moment to take the plunge and show Lan Zhan who he truly is, but will Lan Zhan catch him before he hits the ground? Kay's comments: Despite the shittiness of the Jiang parents, this story was very sweet. It was also very sad. And tender. All in all, just all the emotions that made my heart ache. I love how supportive of a boyfriend is and good sibling Jiang Cheng was a nice touch too. Plus nekiwis' amazing art was wonderful and what made me find this fic! Excerpt: Lan Zhan excuses himself to change his clothes and wash his hands. He returns carrying a wrapped box. “Oh, Lan Zhan,” Wei Ying whispers when he sees him. “You didn’t have to.” Lan Zhan hands him the box, nestling close to him. “You deserve to be treated well.” Wei Ying hugs the present close to himself. “I…” He cuts himself off and gulps. He is so close to telling Lan Zhan he loves him. So close. “Thank you.” He gazes at Lan Zhan, who stares back. His expression is warm and jubilant with the traces of a smile still lingering on his face. Wei Ying remembers the first time he saw that smile emerge, like the touch of sunlight on his skin, making his heart lighter just for a moment. “Thanks for staying with me through the worst,” he blurts.

The Song beyond Silence
by Aurora_Strands
M, WIP, 36k, Wangxian
Summary: "Wei Ying, when we parted last time, you said that no one could give you a broad road to walk on. A road where you could protect those you want to protect without having to cultivate the ghostly path. I am here to offer you such a road. Are you willing to walk it with me?" Lan Wangji asked. Wei Wuxian blinked. “Did I really say that?” he muttered more to himself than anyone else. He might have. It sounded like something he would have said in a half-joking, half-resentful mood. But Lan Wangji had remembered it so clearly… Now he had shown up, after more than a year with what sounded suspiciously like a promise. Lan Wangji visits the Burial Mounds a year after his last trip to Yiling, bringing an invitation to the peace conference at the Cloud Recesses. Wei Wuxian attends!

Constant Companion by athena_crikey
Constant Companion
by athena_crikey
T, 10k, Wangxian
Summary: “You are not stupid, and what happened was an accident,” Lan Zhan tells him. Standing above him, snow melting wetly on his coat, Wei Ying looks a little too wide-eyed, too defenseless. Not at all like the dark-eyed gloss-lipped creature he’s seen flirt with half their year, full of confidence and charisma. “I – of course it was. But it was also definitely the height of stupidity. Lan Zhan, I broke your arm.” OR: Recovering from an unfortunate accident, Lan Zhan harnesses the power of guilt to do the one thing no one else has managed: make Wei Ying take care of himself. Kay's comments: What if Dom Lan Wangji used his powers for evil? And by that I mean making Wei Ying dress warmly in winter and making sure he always brings himself lunch to uni. Really loved this. Unfortunate that Lan Wangji's arm needed to break first. Excerpt: “And, perhaps, text your friend. He was also concerned. I think he would have come home to carry you up into the apartment, if I had let him. It was all I could do to convince him to take notes for you.” Lan Zhan blinks sharply. “Wei Ying?” Huan-ge smiles. “He’s a nice boy. Very polite.” Lan Zhan’s eyebrow tweaks, but he doesn’t contradict it. Wei Ying can be polite. He just often forgets to. “You failed to mention that he’s also very handsome, A-Zhan,” continues Huan-ge.

Summary: During the worst of winter, a traveler comes to stay at Lan Wangji's inn. He wears a red ribbon in his hair. “Do you see the rabbit?” Wei Ying asks and points at the moon. “That’s the moon rabbit, he helps make Chang’e more immortality elixir. He keeps Chang’e company.” “I do not wish the rabbit for company,” Lan Wangji says tightly. “You are the one I want by my side.” “And I’m here, Lan Zhan. If you go to the moon, I’ll follow you, I’ll always be here now.”

Yesterday Once More by Sweetlittlevampire
Yesterday Once More
by Sweetlittlevampire (@sweetlittlevampire)
T, 22k, Wangxian
Summary: „I remember him as…sunny,” Sizhui tells her. “His whole personality radiated sunshine and warmth. He was always smiling, always cracking a joke. He loved playing and rough-housing with us kids, but he could also be very gentle if he wanted to. Looking back, he couldn’t have been older than twenty-five; he was probably even younger than that, now that I think about it. But despite the short time we’ve spent together while he was looking after the kids at the orphanage, he always felt like a father to me.” In which Lan Sizhui goes on a TV show, to find the man he saw as a father figure while he was in the orphanage, and who disappeared one day. ...and who just so happens to be his adoptive father's long-lost love. Kay's comments: Oh, I really loved the setting of the TV show and Qin Su and Luo Qingyang were lovely hosts! The entire story about Sizhui's missing Xian-gege and reconnecting with his biological family was really heart-warming too and I loved how it all came together, very cheesy, but in a good way! Soft and fluffly and just all the good things. Excerpt: Lan Wangji runs a hand across his face. It has been thirteen years since he last saw Wei Wuxian. He shouldn’t cry now. He did so much to go on with his life. He finished his studies, built himself a successful career, and adopted the sweetest boy in the world. Fatherhood didn’t come easily to him, but he has grown beautifully into his role as a parent over the years. He wouldn’t miss it for one second. Still, he carries Wei Wuxian with him wherever he goes, keeping their love safe and cradled in his heart. He doesn’t think he could let go. He doesn’t want to. He doesn’t want to drown in grief either, although sometimes, on bad nights it still threatens to swallow him whole. No, he wants to move through life with joy and pleasure, as Wei Wuxian would have wanted him to. As he would have wanted them to.

You have seen their art, but Pen's writing is always delightful, tightly written, beautiful in prose and gorgeously characterised. I might be biased as I provided proof reading, but how she manages to write Wei Ying when in this terrible space is just so delicate. - Anon
Fading Out
by alightbuthappypen (dairyme) (@alightbuthappypen)
E, 10k, Wangxian
Summary: During the Sunshot Campaign, Lan Wangji is badly injured in an ambush. Wei Wuxian saves his life, but struggles with the guilt that he may have been the cause. Originally started in 2021(!!) as a fill for this prompt, which about sums it up: i'd really like to see a story set during or right after the sunshot campaign where lwj gets seriously injured somehow and yllz!wwx saves him (and he punishes whoever hurt lwj with his demonic cultivation). the tension and worry from seeing lwj hurt culminates in them fucking and it's super fraught and intense bc of all the things that were going on with wangxian during this time period.

when you are near by redrevery
when you are near
by redrevery (@redrevery)
T, 2k, Wangxian
Summary: “You’re too good to me, Lan Zhan,” he says as his expression contorts and he hangs his head, trying to hide again. “Not too good. Wei Ying deserves to be happy. To want. To be held when he is sad. I will accept all of Wei Ying.” “Even when I break into your apartment at two in the morning?” “Especially then.” or - wei ying learns of the death of someone he used to know, and it stirred up complicated feelings about his past. he goes to the only person who understands Kay's comments:< I think I found a new favourite author when it comes to pain, because damn, redrevery really delivers. I love how soft Wangxian are with each other, especially Wei Wuxian goes through so much in this story. This story felt like a hug tbh. Excerpt: Wei Ying allows his face to be cradled within the comfort of Lan Zhan’s hands, and he shifts so that half his weight is on Lan Zhan’s side. He’s forced to bring his other arm around Wei Ying’s slim body to keep him there. Wei Ying huffs a light laugh and sighs. Eventually, his tears die down. “There’s going to be a funeral this weekend. I was thinking of going. Would you— would you come with me?” “Yes.” “Good. That's good. I want— he should have people there. Friends. Family. The like.” “Mn.” They lapse into a comfortable silence. Wei Ying slowly eases more of his bodyweight onto Lan Zhan until he’s slumped entirely against him. Lan Zhan’s fingers card through his hair and play with the soft strands at the nape of his neck.

Hello! I have a fic rec for you. I'm not sure if it's been submitted before. It's a take off of Disabled Tyrant's Pet Fish but you don't have to have read that to enjoy the fic! - Anon
The Koi Fish of Demonic Cultivation
by theearlymorningmist
G, 13k, Wangxian
Summary: 'How dare you!' Wei Wuxian raged, attempting to struggle. 'You can’t do this to me! I’m the Yiling Patriarch!' Except he wasn’t the Yiling Patriach right now. He was a fish. A fish that could do nothing as he was dangled painfully by his tail while the two men decided whether he should be killed, kept, or eaten! Suddenly, a savior in white floated into Wei Wuxian’s vision, their hand reaching out to grip the wrist of the man who was holding him upside down. “I will take the fish.” Their smooth baritone voice interrupted the conversation. 'Lan Zhan!' OR Wei Wuxian gets turned into a Koi Fish by a mysterious curse and Lan Zhan takes care of him. [Inspired by The Disabled Tyrant's Beloved Pet Fish]

Take me back to the night we met by makexianxianhappytoday
Take me back to the night we met
by makexianxianhappytoday
T, 70k, Wangxian
Summary: Five years after Wei Wuxian’s death, some people woke in the Cloud Recesses—young again, back at the lectures. One came to stay. One came to change the end. And a third was already waiting. None of them spoke of the past. But it was already unraveling. Inspired by: The night we met - Lord Huron Kay's comments: Super interesting time travel story, because the time travellers in question went back in time during the 13 years of Wei Wuxian's death, meaning they didn't know he would return one day and they didn't know a lot about what had actually happened and who had pulled some strings in the background. Definitely not for fans of the Jiang family, none of them are in a great position by the end of the story, but definitely for Wangxian fans who love a Lan Wangji who's here and ready to be ride-or-die for Wei Wuxian completely. Excerpt: With that, Lan Qiren rose and swept from the room, robes rustling like the hush of pages turning in the dark. Wei Wuxian let out a breath he hadn’t realized he’d been holding, the tight coil in his chest easing. “He hates me.” “He does not,” Lan Wangji said. “He fears what you represent.” Wei Wuxian’s lips quirked, but there was no real humor behind it. “What, danger?” Lan Wangji turned his head, eyes unwavering. “Change.”

my empty room prefers your sound by redrevery
my empty room prefers your sound
by redrevery (@redrevery)
T, 3k, Wangxian
Summary: Lan Zhan stares at where his hands are curled around the chair, white with tension. Would it be so wrong — so terrible, so earth-shatteringly human, to be vulnerable? “I have been… better,” is what Lan Zhan settles on. “It’s my birthday.” Kay's comments: This story was so sad and made me cry, but it was also cathartic and in the end, it all works out for Wangxian and Lan Wangji gets all the love he deserves. Definitely shaming the Lan Xichen and Lan Qiren in this story though. Excerpt: Lan Zhan spends the day he turns 19 years old hidden away in his quiet dorm room, listening, playing, and writing music between sessions of school work. One might say he is distracting himself. One would be correct in this assessment. At least now, with the halls empty, there is no one around to come banging on his door to tell him to shut up and stop playing his guqin. He can, at least, indulge in this passion of his. On this night, Lan Zhan tends to stay up later than he normally would during the semester. By his standards, “late” constitutes about midnight. There is this unique solitude he doesn’t get to appreciate about night enough. When people are sleeping — when you are supposed to be sleeping — there is this calm. Nobody really expects you to be alert, present, and productive during these hours. There is no guilt from stealing a few moments for himself to meditate, to read a new book, or to compose a new piece. Lan Zhan can simply exist. In his space, doing as he wishes, feeling lighter than he has in a while.

Worthy of Dreaming by Ashura
Worthy of Dreaming
by Ashura (@unseelieash)
T, 9k, Wangxian
Summary: Lan Wangji left Wei Ying kneeling in the dirt, drawing maps for ants, and thought his life would soon revert back to its natural, serene state. He practiced his sword, he practiced his guqin, he went about his day entirely free of Wei Ying-related complications. When Xichen arrived just as Wangji was preparing for bed, he optimistically thought they would discuss their plans for recovering the Yin iron. What Xichen actually said was, ‘Clan Leader Jiang has accepted your betrothal to Wei Wuxian.’ Wei Wuxian has a very short time to convince Lan Zhan to marry him. Kay's comments: Very sweet story where - in CQL canon - Lan Wangji finds himself suddenly engaged to Wei Wuxian. Really loved how Wei Wuxian has been trying to woo Lan Wangji, who for once gets portrayed as the oblivious one, which fits their CQL characterization at this point in the story, if you ask me. Really enjoyed it and grateful to Mojo for bookmarking it before me! Excerpt: Wangji had not acted unthinkingly in the cave. He had simply believed that no matter how strict the rules surrounding headband-touching might be, the equally rigid principles of hospitality prohibited allowing guests, even extremely vexing ones, from being accidentally executed by one’s ancestors. Apparently he’d had his priorities out of order. And for that miscalculation, Lan Wangji’s life would never be peaceful again. It made little sense to him, no matter how much he meditated on it, but he would accept it. The rules existed to make order from the chaos of the world, and if that meant agreeing to allow the chaos directly into his home, so be it.

Night Watch by Winxhelina
Night Watch
by Winxhelina (@winxhelina)
T, 8k, Wangxian
Summary: "Hello, this is the Pier-side Hall complex. There's been an investigation here regarding some extremely volatile hauntings and I am the cultivator currently on Night Watch duty." "Mn. Do you require back up, Wei Ying?" "Lan Zhan?! They put sect heirs on call?!" "I requested it." "Of course you did. Always ready to help. Well, I might actually have something challenging for you for once. Or maybe I'm just getting rusty. We have some extremely angry people on our hands. They are making continuous attempts at my life, none have been successful so far, but I thought -." "I'm on my way." Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji investigate a number of hauntings at a former theatre, music school and concert venue and uncover some unexpected truths. Kay's comments: After @Winxhelina's recent Proud Author Spotlight I had no choice but check out this story! I was pretty much sold at hearing "modern with cultivation" and the story didn't dissappoint at all! I really enjoyed the case fic aspect of it and how competent Wei Wuxian was.
