[wearing_tearing]

Hi all! I'm taking part in comment_bingo and one of my card prompts was to comment on 3 works by the same author. Since all of them ended up being CQL works, I thought I'd rec them here. All fics are over 100k+ words Canon Divergent AUs and can be great weekend reads :D

made for each other by KouriArashi | Jiang Yanli/Nie Mingjue. 118,614 words. Teen.

Nie Huaisang was sitting in the aviary, feeling extremely pleased with himself, when Wei Wuxian bounced in and immediately demanded, “Are you trying to steal my shijie?”

“What?” Nie Huaisang blinked at him with pretend innocence. “Wei-xiong, why would you say such a thing?”

“Do you think I’m an idiot? Do you think shijie is an idiot?” Wei Wuxian continued. “I mean, what you’re doing is so blatant that Jin Zixuan noticed, and he is an idiot. So let’s try this again, Nie-xiong – are you trying to steal my shijie and marry her off to your brother?”

“I sure am,” Nie Huaisang said cheerfully. “I mean, who would you rather have to sit with at family dinners, me or Jin Zixun?”

tl;dr what if the lectures were at The Unclean Realm rather than Cloud Recesses?

picking up the pieces by KouriArashi | Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian. 111,132 words. Mature. | Major Non-Canonical Character Death!

The AU where Jiang Cheng dies at Nightless City instead of Jiang Yanli and she takes her son to raise at Lotus Pier. She and Lan Wangji bond over losing Wei Wuxian and raising their children, and over time, they start to have suspicions about what happened at Qiongqi Way....

at the end of a storm (is a golden sky) by KouriArashi | Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian, Jiang Yanli/Meng Yao. 106,033 words. Mature.

the golden core procedure goes wrong, leaving both Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian coreless and thrown into the Burial Mounds together

Wei Wuxian managed to sit up. It hurt, but he didn’t feel as light-headed as he had earlier. He looked at his brother, and despite his best efforts, their eyes met. He saw anger and pain and grief, but in that moment there was also a grim understanding. Wei Wuxian hauled himself out of bed and said, “Wen Qing, take your brother and leave through the back. Jiang Cheng and I will stall them.”

“What? No!” Wen Ning protested. “You’re in no shape to - ”

“It doesn’t matter,” Wei Wuxian said. “We’re useless now. We can’t avenge our family. We can’t protect our sister. We can’t do much of anything, but we can buy a few minutes for the two of you to get out of here.”
