The Grand Master of Daemonic Cultivation, by FayJay – 魔道祖师 – 墨香铜臭 | Módào Zǔshī – Mòxiāng Tóngxiù [Archive of Our Own]
It takes two nights and a day. Wei Wuxian screams until his throat gives out. The sounds that Xian Zhen makes are unspeakable. Wen Ning weeps throughout, loudly at first, then silently, watching the tiny sugar glider’s agonised shape gradually shiver and distort until it returns to its childish state of flux, flickering in desperation from shape to shape in search of safety. But Wen Qing is relentless and dry eyed, and at last the poor creature is nestled against Jiang Cheng’s unconscious body, panting and quivering as Wen Qing ties the last threads that bind her to a new soul.
This seamlessly integrates daemons and cultivation into a beautiful, heartbreaking story of love and loss and second chances.
The Simplest Way Forward – Chapter 1, by harriet_vane – 陈情令 | The Untamed (TV) [Archive of Our Own]
It’s a really unfortunate thing, developing a crush on your husband. Wei Ying had assumed this would be easy. Lan Zhan had been so icy and unpleasant to him, it had never occurred to him that he might end up spending the next however many years with this dumb, burning feeling in his chest whenever he looks at him.
“Okay,” says Wei Ying. “But tell me if I…if the pretending gets to be too hard, okay?”
“It will not,” says Lan Zhan, quietly certain.

Somehow, Wei Ying, Chinese exchange student, ends up with a kid – luckily, there’s this tall, serious guy willing to help… and suddenly Wei Ying has himself a husband, too. I’m not normally into kid!fic, but A-Yuan is too precious, and this story is too wonderful.
Fixtures and Fittings – Chapter 1, by ella_minnow – 陈情令 | The Untamed (TV) RPF [Archive of Our Own]
The client is tall and slim, the padded leather motorcycle jacket he wears adding artificial bulk to his upper body which angles sharply in to slender legs braced wide on either side of the bike. His face is fine-boned and delicate and –
Very, very familiar.
It’s a face that Xiao Zhan has seen daily for the last several months, although never in real life.
No, he’s used to seeing it through his kitchen window, twelve feet tall on the billboard that graces the side of the building down the block from his apartment.
Fuck, fuck, fuck.
It’s Wang Yibo.

The song alone (Stray Italian Greyhound by Vienna Teng) makes this vid an instant fave, but it’s also an incredibly well-vidded Lan Wangji POV.
Run My Mouth – Chapter 1, by opald – บังเอิญรัก | Love by Chance (TV) [Archive of Our Own]
Ae sits on the bed beside him, and Pond is struck by the contrast between the two of them. Ae who is impossibly grounded and Pete who looks like he wants to float away. Ae holds his face gently, wiping away his tears with his thumbs even as Pete falls apart.
He gets a distinct feeling that he shouldn’t be seeing this.
“I’m going to go for a walk,” he says, but no one is listening to him. Pete is crying, harder now, while Ae whispers things to him that Pond can’t hear.

Pond gets more involved in Ae and Pete’s love life than he might have expected. This is a lovely peek at a developing friendship between Pond and Pete.

“Your Uncle Korn was on the phone just now,” his father says. “He’d like to see you.”
It seems like a complete departure from the conversation they’ve been having, but his father’s voice and expression are utterly earnest.
Sin says, “Okay,” with a curious lift at the end.
“He wants to introduce you to his partner.”

An absolutely wonderful what-if story from Sin’s POV. Don’t we all wish Korn and Intouch had gotten this ending…

It is almost nine, time for him to cease and go to bed. But just as he is about to play the closing notes of Inquiry, one last spirit floats over. This one is different from the others in a way Lan Wangji can’t exactly pinpoint. Maybe it’s the way it bobs and weaves energetically through the air, instead of hovering sedately.
Lan Wangji watches it come to rest on the very edge of his guqin. As always, he plays, <What is your name?>
<Wei Ying. And yours?>

Lan Wangji falls in love with a ghost. This is a canon-divergence full of emotion.
