My MDZS/Untamed Fic Masterlist

Try to Praise the Mutilated World series (post-canon, unfinished)

It might be over, but there’s still residual trauma. Mostly CQL-canon. Some titles from a poem with the same title as the series.

Spectre - Lan Wangji wakes from a nightmare shortly after Wei Wuxian returns to Gusu after his travels following the defeat of Jin Guangyao. (lwj POV)

rain falls and soaks into the earth (no war AU, unfinished)

a candle blown out - Gusu Lan takes in Wei Wuxian after Yu Ziyuan nearly kills him punishing him. (lxc POV)

a ghost in the mirror - Lan Wangji is losing hope as Wei Ying withers away, but he keeps trying. (lwj POV)

this body yet survives - Wei Wuxian continues to recover from his traumatic near-death experience, and the cultivation world slowly reacts to the event as well. (lwj POV) 15/?

moonlight falls (modern corporate spy AU series, unfinished)

Based partly on a prompt from @angstymdzsthoughts, but also started for the WangXian Lunar New Year gift exchange, wherein Wei Ying is accused of corporate espionage and blacklisted from the tech industry, and Lan Zhan follows and supports him. Titles based on poetry by Li Bai, who was exiled and often wrote about missing home, friends, and family.

I look up and see the bright moon - A fluffy found family piece written for @wangxiangiftexchange. Five years after the corporate espionage accusation, the Wei family is ready to add a new member. (wwx POV)

frost on the frozen ground - A few weeks after “I look up and see the bright moon,” Lan Qiren shows up. It does not go well. (wwx POV)

a pool of light - With the trial and incarceration of the real culprits, Wei Ying’s reputation officially cleared by the courts, things have settled down for the Wei family. They don’t stay that way, as Jiang Cheng attempts a reconciliation in an emotionally constipated way. (wwx POV) 3/3

Wangxian Tax Universe (crack tax benefits AU series, collaboration, unfinished)

Friends with Tax Benefits (by adrian_kres) - Wei Ying suggests he and Lan Zhan should get married for the tax breaks. It works out.

Gimme a Tax Break - Wei Ying tells his adoptive family. (wwx POV)

Tax B(racket) (by adrian_kres) - Betting Pool Group Chat!

Tax Haven - Nie Huaisang initiates a group call. (wwx POV)

Capital Gains (by adrian_kres) - Wei Ying wants to talk about Lan Zhan’s uncle.

The Sin Tax - Lan Zhan gets Wei Ying a gift. (wwx POV)

Hope universe (botched time travel AU, amnesiac!wwx)

the thing with feathers (time travel transmigration, 17 chapters, finished) - A night hunt gone wrong leaves Wei Wuxian facing life without a husband and son. He refuses. Using an experimental array, he attempts temporal transmigration, but it goes wrong. Pre-canon kidfic as of yet, with some reference to MDZS and CQL canons. Frankencanon. Various perspectives. 17/17

and sings the tune without the words (epistolary, unfinished) - Letters exchanged over the next five years. (10/?)

sore must be the storm (dual wwx POV) - Wen Ruohan wakes Wei Wuxian. It does not go well for him. Set in chapter 8 of “and sings the tune without the words.”

紅線 universe (canon divergence, lwj stays in Burial Mounds)

the thread may stretch or tangle but it will never break (lwj pov, unfinished)- Following the return of Wen Ning’s spiritual cognition, Wei Wuxian doesn’t pull away quickly enough to avoid Lan Wangji discovering his secret. Largely CQL-verse with some frankencanon. (lwj POV) 22/?

Honor Good People (lxc pov, to be read after part 1, ch. 22) - Lan Xichen does not ask permission before adding Wei Wuxian to the family registry as Wangji’s husband. Lan Qiren disapproves.

like mayflies wandering universe (post-canon cql)

a grain of millet drifting (wwx pov, finished) - Post-canon, Wei Wuxian is traveling when he catches a Nie disciple killing an assassin apparently after him. Turns out it’s not the first, so he heads toward the Unclean Realm and his old friend. 3/3

hold the bright moon in my arms (wwx pov, unfinished) - Visiting Qinghe, Wei Wuxian tries to find peace, balance, and purpose. Nie Huaisang is not entirely helpful with this. 4/4

Operation Barking Dog (post-MDZS canon, unfinished)

In a world where Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji didn’t have drunk sex and there was no confession in the temple, the pining continues as they travel across Jianghu post-canon. In which Wei Wuxian learns Mo Xuanyu adored Xianzi (Fairy) and decides to honor him by again attempting the impossible: curing his cynophobia. Largely novel and donghua canon. Very loosely based on an @angstymdzsthoughts post. WangXian Winter Solstice gift fic for @rymyanna. (lwj pov) 7/8

a pear blossom bathed in springtime rain (one-shot, finished)

Wei Wuxian has a habit of being a messy drinker, letting alcohol slide down his chin and neck. He didn’t realize there was enough on his skin for Lan Zhan to get drunk off of. (wwx POV)

trees long for peace but the wind will never cease (one-shot, finished)

While he’s missing, Lan Wangji can’t help but fantasize about rescuing Wei Wuxian from the Wens. Set during episodes 19-20 of The Untamed. (lwj POV)

a song of joy and regret (one-shot, finished)

Wangji hadn’t dared remove the mask the entire trip back to Cloud Recesses, the unconscious body of what could be Wei Ying solid and limp in his arms. Set during episode 3 of CQL. (lwj POV)

ripples spread out when a single pebble is dropped into water (accidental time travel, one-shot, finished)

Being in the Cloud Recesses facing his fifteen-year-old self, surrounded by other fifteen year olds, many of them long dead in his time, is… sadly not the weirdest thing that’s ever happened to him. (wwx POV)

藕断丝连 (during the years of wwx’s death, one-shot, finished)

The first Qingming after Hanguang-Jun’s seclusion, Lan Sizhui is introduced to lotuses. (lsz POV)

卧薪尝胆 (post-canon, one-shot, finished)

Wei Wuxian comes across Ouyang Zizhen in the bunny fields, there while his father petitions the Chief Cultivator. Unfortunately, Lan Wangji is a bit petty toward those who continue to call him the Yiling Patriarch and blame him for all ills. Honestly, what were things coming to when he had to be the reasonable one? (wwx POV)

感情用事 (in the Xuanwu cave, one-shot, finished)

Beyond words, Lan Wangji intended to bite his arm. But he made the mistake of looking at Wei Ying’s face… (lwj POV)

手下留情 (post-canon, one-shot, finished)

Wei Wuxian had been back in the Cloud Recesses a week when he first heard the gossip. He was only somewhat surprised—if any rule was going to be broken, that one would be first anywhere. The cultivation world loved gossip, and even if the Lan sect was founded by a monk, his descendants weren’t all ascetics by any definition despite their airs. (wwx POV)

beneath rose-colored clouds (post-canon, one-shot, finished)

Lan Wangji comes across his husband asleep amongst the bunnies. Written for @writersmonth 2021, prompt “feather.” Title from a Hanshan poem.

Impossible Things (post-canon, The Untamed, one-shot, finished)

As he leaves the Cloud Recesses and his zhiji to travel, Wei Wuxian doesn’t know what he yearns for, only that Lan Wangji grounds him. Written for @writersmonth 2021, prompt “darkness.”

mountain peaks shatter and crumble (Burial Mounds, wwx’s canonical death, MDZS, one-shot, finished)

He’d felt it, ever since he’d first fallen into the Burial Mounds, like glass burrowing beneath his skin—resentful energy, tearing him apart inside. For the August 11 prompt “glass” for @writersmonth 2021. Title comes from Poem 193 of the Shi Jing.

do not go gentle (post-canon, Wen Ning POV, MDZS, one-shot, finished)

During their travels together, Wen Ning realizes there is a non-resentful spirit attached to Lan Sizhui, and brings it to the attention of Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji when they return to Gusu. For the August 13 prompt “night” for @writersmonth 2021. Title is from Dylan Thomas’s “Do not go gentle into that good night.”

只羡鸳鸯不羡仙 (post-canon, crack, one-shot, finished)

Wei Wuxian has an accident with an experimental talisman. Now he has to find his husband. For @writersmonth 2021 day 14, prompt “duck.” Title is from the Lu Zhaolin poem, “Chang’an nostalgia.”

a flower beyond the edge of the clouds (Nightless City, Soulmate AU, The Untamed, one-shot, finished)

In a world where the first time Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian meet a red thread ties them together, Lan Wangji does not acknowledge the soulmate bond. Things unfold much the same way, at the edge of a cliff. @writersmonth 2021 has two prompts each day, and this time I used both of them: “edge” and “soulmate AU.” Title is from “Long Yearning” by Li Bai.

拨云见日 (post-canon, self-indulgent, one-shot, finished)

When Wei Wuxian attends the first cultivation conference since Lan Xichen left seclusion, he doesn’t expect a demand he stand trial. Apparently others planned for that contingency. The title is an idiom. Literally, to dispel the clouds and see the sun, but figuratively to restore justice.

suddenly an old song fills my heart with home, my eyes with tears (post-canon, one-shot, finished)

Jiang Cheng was presumed dead 16 years ago, but was actually de-aged, his memories sealed, by a dying yao’s curse. He should have died of exposure, but when Wei Wuxian found an abandoned infant he decided he and Lan Wangji had gained a new son. Raised Wei Yanyin, his memories return during a night hunt, and he must tell his now-parents who he once was, and decide who he is. Based on an @angstymdzsthoughts post.

dragons white to ride (dragonji, smut, one-shot, finished)

On their steamy wedding night, Wei Wuxian learns some rather unexpected things about his new husband. Written as a lwj birthday fic. The title is from a Qu Yuan poem, “Crossing the River.” He was rumored to be the lover of an emperor.

separated hearts (CQL missing scene, one-shot, finished)

The cultivation world consumed Wei Ying as surely as fire, a sacrifice to its greed, and Lan Wangji thought them parted forever, Wei Ying somewhere Inquiry couldn’t reach, separated from the world as surely as Chang’e from Houyi. The title is a reference to the Zhang Jiuling poem “Looking at the Moon and Thinking of One Far Away.”

born under unlucky stars (canon-adjacent, ghosts, one-shot, finished)

Mo Xuanyu comes to awareness with surprise, then anger. He let go after summoning Wei Wuxian, freely offering his body in exchange for revenge and the oblivion of non-existence. He had expected nothingness from the Soul Sacrifice Summons spell, and he has been denied even that. The title is taken from Bai Juyi’s poem, “Li Bai’s Tomb,” specifically a translation from Tumblr’s hunxi-guilai.

a cup of sugar (modern!AU, pet loss, one-shot, finished)

Late one night, a haggard-looking Wei Ying knocks on his neighbor’s door to ask for a favor.

blue flies buzzing (post-canon, one-shot, LJY POV, finished)

At a discussion conference hosted by Lotus Pier, a disciple accuses Lan Sizhui of being a Wen survivor after losing an archery competition. Jingyi knows if the adults handle this, it’ll end in bloodshed, and he’s not the unLanest Lan for nothing. Title from a classical Chinese poem about slander.
