Night Bus, by Suspicious_Popsicle – 魔道祖师 – 墨香铜臭 | Módào Zǔshī – Mòxiāng Tóngxiù [Archive of Our Own]

They had come to a bus stop. The hiss of the breaks and the sharp clack of the doors opening snapped him out of his stupor. Wei WuXian shook his head, trying to get his thoughts to focus. What had he been drinking, anyway? He couldn’t remember even going to a bar.

A few people got off the bus. A few more got on. It was crowded. Few seats were open. Listlessly, he watched a man board, thinking absolutely nothing of it until their eyes met suddenly. For a moment, both of them froze. Overtaken by the strangest sense of recognition, Wei WuXian shifted unobtrusively further from the vacant seat to his right. He felt a weak smile flicker to life briefly on his face. It was invitation enough for the man.

This is strange and beautiful, and I don’t think I’ve ever read something quite like it.

You Are My Euphoria, by tangerinechar – 魔道祖师 – 墨香铜臭 | Módào Zǔshī – Mòxiāng Tóngxiù [Archive of Our Own]

Wei Wuxian meets Lan Wangji one night when the moon is full and high in the sky, and since then he thinks he hasn’t stopped smiling once. There’s just something about Lan Wangji, after all.

Or; 5 times Wei Wuxian smiled at Lan Wangji, and 1 time Lan Wangji smiled back.

A lovely, lovely canon-divergence set during their school days at Cloud Recesses, where everything is happiness and nothing hurts.

Being a fierce corpse is painful. Wei Wuxian finds a way to make it both better and worse at the same time.

Wen Ning is a precious cinnamon role and deserves the world – unfortunately, though, he falls in love with the man trying so hard to help him. This hurts so much!

“You’re alive,” Wei WuXian tells him nonsensically, and Lan WangJi barely has time to nod in affirmation before Wei WuXian yanks him into a wet hug. “Get out of here, you dumb jerk,” he mumbles, squeezing him, ignoring how his wounds from Zidian pull agonizingly at the movement. “What the hell are you doing here?” He feels Lan WangJi’s hands come hesitantly up to embrace him back. He says quietly, so that Jiang Cheng won’t hear, “I don’t think there’s anything you can do for the Jiangs.”

“Wei Ying,” Lan WangJi says, equally quietly, “With all due respect… I am not here for the Jiangs.”

Lan Zhan finds the Jiangs on their way back to Lotus Pier after the attack. This feels like a missing scene from the show, slotting in seamlessly.

“I’ve been trying not to think about Xiao-xiong and Song-xiong,” Wei WuXian confesses. “I didn’t know them that well either, but I really liked meeting them. I guess I had known what their deal was before, but to actually meet them was like, Here, idiot, here’s two cultivators doing exactly what you want to do! It’s possible after all!” Lan WangJi stops breathing. Wei WuXian continues, “I thought then that maybe after everything was over I could…” He stops and clears his throat. Then he admits, “Well, I sort of fantasized about whisking you away from Gusu and convincing you to join their sect with me.”

“Oh,” Lan WangJi breathes.

This is simply perfect – not only incorporating my beloved Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan, but creating an absolutely wonderful Lan Zhan POV post-Yi City. He’s so very sad (depressed, which I can relate to), and so very in love, and Wei Ying is so very slow on the uptake (as always), seeing them find each other feels like a gift.

Lan Zhan has sent you a video.

Wei Wuxian sighs. “Lan Zhan ah, Lan Zhan,” he groans. “How are you going to pretend you didn’t do anything embarrassing if you’re going to send me evidence of you being a bad drunk?”

This is deliciously hot, as well as funny, leaving me simultaneously hot and bothered and smiling like an idiot.

“You know, you’re the one to beat this year,” Jiang Cheng offers helpfully, having seen the glare from right next to him. “Hanguang-jun’s been through juniors with the rest of us, he knows all of our tics. You’re an unknown variable, since he’s never competed against you before.”

“Thanks,” says Wei Wuxian drily. “That’s very comforting.”

Or: five nighthunting competitions where Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji were rivals, and one where they weren’t.

An amazing 100k AU set in a contemporary world where nighthunting is a sporting event. It’s amazing into how much detail the author went to create this story, and I inhaled it in two days.

Across the table, Jiang Cheng looks up from his study book and rolls his eyes heavenward like he’s seen this circus too many times already. And sure, Wei WuXian has slept in the campus library before, but this is the first time a handsome stranger with angry eyes has called him out because of it.

-or; Wei WuXian has a tendency to fall asleep in places where he shouldn’t. Lan WangJi disapproves.

I am a complete sucker for idiots in love – and this modern AU delivers in spades, with an additional helping of sizzling smut!

A Lifetime of It (Please, and Thank You) – Chapter 1, by misscam – 陈情令 | The Untamed (TV) [Archive of Our Own]

All Wei Wuxian wants is a lifetime of Lan Zhan, please and thank you. If that takes a public wedding at Cloud Recesses to achieve, so be it. First, he just has to get through Lan Quiren’s classes on dignity, restrain himself from being too shameless with Lan Zhan before the wedding, keep Jiang Cheng from scowling himself to death over walking in on intimate moments, keep Jiang Cheng and Lan Zhan from having a go at each other, try to make Lan Xichen as happy as possible and get Jin Ling to call him uncle again.

He can totally do all that.

Can’t he?

(No, but he can at least try his best.)

This fic managed to make me laugh out loud and cry a little from the feels. Just… *happy sigh*
