wearing_tearing: wei wuxian over a background of red flowers ([cql] wwx)
[personal profile] wearing_tearing
Hi all! I'm taking part in [community profile] 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 [archiveofourown.org profile] 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?

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.”

Fic Recs!

I've recently read some new-to-me (maybe old-to-others) MDZS/CQL fics and wanted to share them:

ask until your heart gets it right by [archiveofourown.org profile] Stratisphyre | Jiang Yanli/Jin Zixuan, Minor Relationships. 6,828 words. Rated G.
The thing of it was: Jin Zixuan did not enjoy the giving of gifts.

An account wherein, while trying to do something nice for his wife, Jin Zixuan (completely accidentally) fixes everyone's problems.
The stuffed bunny, the beautiful nephew, and other gifts from Lan Qiren by [archiveofourown.org profile] deliciousblizzardshark | Lan Qiren & Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian. 8,629 words. Rated G.
Wei Ying was pretty sure his next door neighbor Lan Qiren hated him until he adopted A-Yuan. Now he’s bringing by disgustingly healthy food, taking Wei Ying and A-Yuan to family dinners, and let’s not even mention the nephews he keeps hinting Wei Ying should meet. Is it possible Wei Ying, consummate orphan, has found a family in his grumpy old neighbor?
The blame game by [archiveofourown.org profile] apathyinreverie | Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian. 13,258 words. Rated T.
Wei Ying doesn’t know what to make of it when, after he so publicly confronts the Jins, his staunchest supporter turns out to be… Zewu-jun?

(Or, Lan Xichen time travels, immediately goes about fixing things, and promptly confuses the fuck out of everyone along the way.)
Back to Bite One by [archiveofourown.org profile] diamondbruise | Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian. 21,357 words. Rated E.
“’Yes.’” Lan Sizhui’s fingers stilled for a moment, perhaps surprised for having gotten an answer after all. He then asked, “Why?”

As the spirit replied in music, the Lans in the room started frowning slightly, clearly confused.

’Two of you have committed wrongdoing’,” the junior said, his concern evident. “What wrongdoing?”

The notes turned even sharper, though the response was short. Immediately, Wei Wuxian could tell there was something off about it. Lan Zhan stiffened, and the kids’ eyes widened, their faces reddening. Lan Sizhui, who was blushing furiously, played the same notes again, as if making sure he’d heard right.

Hello everyone! I wanted to share the MXTX Diaspora May collection for 2023, as well as those from previous years!

A little background:

MXTX Diaspora May has been running since 2021. The 2021 iteration was specific to MDZS; in 2022, it expanded to include all of MXTX's works. The focus of this event is to elevate international Chinese diaspora voices through the creation of MXTX-related fanworks and allow Chinese diaspora creators to come together to share the diverse aspects of Chinese culture and connect over lived experiences.

Support of this event will go a long way towards creating a more inclusive and open culture in online communities, especially for creators who rarely get their voices heard in the English-speaking side of fandom. The AO3 collections are linked below, as well as a couple of other links that feature diaspora voices.

Event collections:


More works from diaspora creators:

-
And finally, a self plug for my own 2023 event fic, which is suffused with diaspora experience as well as Lan Zhan's raging lust for Wei Ying.

wonder under summer skies (Explicit, 24K, no archive warnings)

Wei Ying stares down at the photograph with a wistful smile. “These are my parents. I, ah—they passed away a long time ago. Well, you know, everyone knows. Jiang-shushu and Yu-ayi adopted me when I was little. Anyway, my parents were huge fans of Jin Yong, and they’re about my age in this photo. I’m going to the Fan Expo in a couple months and I thought I’d try to dress up as Yang Guo from the Condor Heroes series just like my dad. Is that enough time to make a costume?”

Lan Zhan has no idea how to make a hanfu. But he knows what it’s like to want a piece of your parents, and hope is shining so brightly from Wei Ying’s eyes that he cannot bring himself to utter a refusal.

“I can do it,” he says.

In the summer heat of the American South, two college students working in Chinatown fall in love over the making of a hanfu.

As I'm currently enjoying recs from this site, here's a rec from me.

Heads up: this story does get explicit, happily in a very sex positive way.
Another head's up: over 250,000 in 26 chapters and counting, but it's amazing. Really worth the read.

The most amazing fanfic I've read this year is Scarlett Storm's
It Seems the Hills and Rivers Have Been Waiting. Trans pig farmer cultivates the Boar Path, basically being super toned and strong and bad-ass. Best part? Jiang Cheng has a thing for her. But he won't act on it because he doesn't want to be that Sect Leader (read: Jin Guangshan). They are an adorable couple. Fan Dingxian is just ... awesome. I highly, highly, highly recommend this. It's great.

[personal profile] dragonyphoenix
It Seems the Hills and Rivers Have Been Waiting is one of the few stories I read immediately when a new chapter shows up on my feed. It pairs Jiang Cheng with a Mary Sue but she's awesome. She kicks ass and has made a place for herself in the cultivation world when she doesn't even have (much of) a golden core. Honestly, the story is a delight. But I'll let the author speak for herself:

1.Criminal/undercover agent thread fic
Pairing: WangXian , XiCheng.

Oh my gosh!I just read this thread fic on twitter where Jiang Cheng and Wei Ying run a fearsome criminal empire. But Jiang Cheng is famous for running his family's textile business so there's a whole two-faced things going on. The Twin Jades are sent to infiltrate the organizations: Lan Zhan to the criminal one and Lan Xichen goes as an event planner to Jiang Cheng.
If you like WangXian and Xicheng, check it out here.

2. Worlds apart Part 1-Interactive thread fic.
Pairing: XiCheng. Might have WangXian later.
In this one the Yunmeng siblings move to a new house and Jiang Cheng finds a mirror there. It's a magical mirror that allows him to travel to the ancient world. Someone keeps trying to kill him. JC and LXC fall in love. Lots of Yunmeng Sibling moments,drama and mystery in this one. Find it here.

This might not contain new info for anyone here, but it was fun to curate. I got tired of rummaging in private chat backscrolls for my Untamed recruiter pitch every time I sighted a new victim, so I dumped both the recruiter pitch and my "So you've just finished watching and need FIC RECS" starter pack on my blog. Enjoy! :D

I, for one, am in need of comfort reading. Let's make some themed rec lists!

It works just like a prompt meme, except instead of commenting with prompts for fic you hope someone will write, comment with a request for a specific "top five" category, such as Top Five Hurt/Comfort Fics, Top Five Lan Xichen Rarepairs, Top Five Recruiter Vids, etc. Put your request in the TITLE of your comment, and any additional details, squicks, etc. in the comment body.

If you see a prompt and think, "Aha, I've read five brilliant stories that fit that description!" then put your five-item rec list in a REPLY to the prompt comment. Yes? Good.

Also:
  • Multiple people may reply to any given prompt.
  • You may reply to your own prompt, if you have a rec set all ready to go! I hope you do.
  • You may include no more than five recs per comment.
  • But if you can't help yourself, you may wiggle around this by replying to a prompt multiple times.
  • If the category is really niche, and you have only two recs, poooossst.
  • Personally, my favourite part of a rec list is the reccer's notes about why they love a story and what the author does especially well, so feel free to include that sort of advertising pitch. No pressure, though, if you only have time and energy to drop links and run!
  • Fic, art, vids, and other fanac all welcome!!!


Be kind, don't damn with faint praise, and feel free to shout, "OH YEAH, I LOVED THAT ONE TOO," at each other in the thread; you might make an author's day. Happy reading! ♥

Sooo, I'd been reading this XiCheng fic and the imagery the author creates was so inspiring,I wanted to try my hand at doing a different kind of art,a more muted style.References from Wang ZhuoCheng's photos were used for the modern-day look and lol,Lan Xichen has a side part,because I like it that way. :D

Fanart + the fic that inspired it )

So, recently I read this wonderful canon divergence! Jin Guangyao is still his Jin Guangyao-y self, and far from moral or perfect, but the author makes his decision to not kill Nie Mingjue feel oh so IC and completely logical.

My friends keep falling into Untamed fandom and asking me for fic recs! I tried to include a bunch of different things to give good feel for the variety of the fandom. You can check it out here!

I've been keeping a running Twitter thread of Untamed/MDZS fics that focus on the female characters. I thought people here might enjoy them and also that it might be nice to have recs somewhere a bit more findable than twitter. So here they are! Each rec is pretty short because it's copy pasted form twitter.

15 recs! )

I have more female character focused fic in my marked for latter so I expect I'll keep adding to the twitter thread. I may come back here and do a part two sometime.

If anyone else has fic recs that center female characters I'd love to hear them!
