driver’s license
by cryptenhope
T, 5k, Wangxian
Summary: Wei Ying can’t find anger in Lan Zhan for leaving. There’s no rage, no pure spite. He doesn’t need to forgive the man. Forgiveness means there was something to blame Lan Zhan for in the first place. No, Wei Ying blames himself for caring. He cannot forgive himself for still loving Lan Zhan because he does, irrevocably and undeniably.
And now?
Now, Wei Ying is tired.
(Or: the driver’s license au that has nothing to do with the song or driving)
Kay's comments: Ah, wonderful angst! Wei Ying wakes up in the hospital after an accident to find Lan Zhan by his side. Lan Zhan, who had broken up with him months ago because he wasn't brave enough to stand against his family. I love how little anger Wei Ying felt and how it was more exhaustion and tiredness and honestly, despite the tags, I'd say this story has a happy ending too!
Excerpt: Wei Ying is lost.
“What...why are you even here?” he asks, shuffling to sit up. This merely startles Lan Zhan into motion as he helps Wei Ying reach a comfortable position, a steady, strong hand on his back. Wei Ying barely contains a shiver, relishing in the warmth burning on his skin through the thing fabric of the hospital gown. Lan Zhan’s touch has never been something he could deny his desires for. It will never not affect him.
“Careful,” Lan Zhan murmurs before straightening up. He takes a small step back and tilts his head. “The hospital called me. Apparently, I am your emergency contact and Power of Attorney.”
Wei Ying stills.
Oh. That.

Re #707443891254722560: unsettled, by cryptenhope, seems to be entirely about WWX coming to terms with his second body, with LWJ’s help and reassurance (fulfilling #5 on that post); I’m not seeing any mention of his brilliance being respected. Could this fic have wound up under #17 by mistake?
Hello~ I just checked and it was indeed rec'd in the replies of the post, so it doesn't seem to be a mistake, unless the person who rec'd it put in the wrong link themselves? if that is the case, please let us know and I will fix it! ^^

T &G Reading since 5/29
Finished
Teen:
not a lot, just forever, by anti_ela
"It's my job," Jiang Cheng says, and it feels like he's floating several feet outside of his body. If the other sect leaders and their lackeys hear, he doesn't notice. "When he goes out into the darkness, it's my job to bring him home."
Lan Xichen turns to him and opens his beautiful mouth. He must say something; his lips are moving. But Jiang Cheng can already feel the grave opening before him, and he knows, now, that Wei Wuxian was right after all: he would never learn how to love anyone but his family. That there is no safe or responsible option but this, because to do anything less would be to destroy his own soul.
-----
Or: Jiang Cheng does what he wants to do, and not what he should.
Taking Responsibility, by MarbleGlove (4th in a series)
Lan Qiren had raised his nephews to the best of his abilities, but Wangji was not getting his life arranged properly. It was possible that at least some of the problems came from how Qiren had raised his nephews. He would take responsibility.

The Consequences of Accidental Time Travel, by BurningBlueDiamond (5th in a series, 5 chapters)
Future Sizhui, Jingyi, Wei Ying and Lan Zhan went back to their time.
How will the Past and Future character react to the new information provided?
OR
The aftermath of "A Room Full of Dead People".
Yeah, this really doesn't make any sense without reading "A Room Full of Dead People" first.
A Room Full of Dead People - Nie Huaisang Edition, by BurningBlueDiamond (6th in a series)
So, this is basically a What-if of A Room Full of Dead People, sprouted by a comment by Shadowgal under How Nie Huaisang Learned to Never Skip a Conference.
What if Nie Huaisang didn't skip the afternoon of the Conference?
I advise you to read A Room Full of Dead People first
shelter, by hauntedotamatone
“They are gone,” a low voice sounds from above him, joined by the warm weight of a hand on his back. “It’s safe now.”
A-Ying carefully removes his hands from the soft fabric bunched up in his grip and proceeds to wipe away the tears and snot from his face. It’s only now that he realizes he’s smeared bright red blood all over the stranger’s nice, white robes.
The thing about people in nice robes is that they don’t take kindly to dirty hands grasping at them, let alone hands dirty with blood.
“S-sorry,” he says around the thick lump that still sits in his throat. “A-Ying is sorry.”
The hand at his back grows stiff.
“There is no need for ‘sorry’,” the stranger tells him. “Robes can be cleaned.”
General:
Whether Tis Nobler, by MarbleGlove (2nd in a series)
Nie Mingjue has known since he inherited the Nie Sect leadership after his father’s murder, that he would die horribly and enraged as his own qi destroyed him. Looking at Wei Wuxian happily dandling a toddler on his knee, makes him consider if maybe that final qi deviation was not a foregone conclusion after all.
Sect Leader Jin, by MarbleGlove (3rd in a series)
Nie Hauisang promised to get rid of Jin Guangshan in his brother's honor and is not one to procrastinate.
Jin Zixuan wants to stop being embarrassed by himself/his father/his sect, and start being able to properly court Jiang Yanli.
Jin Guangshan does not have a good day despite the lovely ladies hanging off his arms.
What's Wrong With Him?, by GrapefruitSketches
Day 11: Delicate (Untamed Spring Fest 2020)
Set during Episode 23.
Jiang Yanli rushes to her brothers’ sides after the Wen Clan is defeated once and for all. There, she has the chance to develop a deeper understanding of Lan Wangji, her closest (and maybe only) ally in protecting Wei Wuxian from the world, and himself.
Unfinished
Teen:
The Return of Cangse Sanren, by milesofheart
The dark figure pointed with his flute. “There’s the road. Be on your way and don’t come back.” His tone dismissed them, a threat threaded between the words.
Cangse Sanren was not often afraid. She had been afraid as a child on the street, before she was found by Baoshan Sanren. She was afraid when the spider demon cornered them earlier that night, and she thought she would never see her baby boy again. She wondered vaguely if she should be afraid now.
But mostly she was just irritated.
She started to yell back at him, but lightning flashed, illuminating the people on horseback: elderly, bloody and bruised, in torn robes of sun and flames. As the lightning lit up all of their faces, the flutist’s cruel expression suddenly dropped, and his eyes went wide.
When he didn’t look so vicious, he was quite handsome. Maybe even vaguely familiar, somehow.
---
(Cangse Sanren and Wei Changze return from a near-lethal nighthunt in Yiling, eager to pick up their young son from the inn and be on their way to the next town. But when they run into a dark figure with a red-tasseled flute and glowing red eyes, it soon becomes apparent that something has gone terribly wrong.)
I Hear a Symphony, by Blueroses27
It has been 13 years, 13 years since the burial mounds were cut off from the rest of the world. No one was heard from the Yiling Patriarch, not even the Jiang siblings. Most have assumed it was to amass power but after 13 years they stopped preparing and moved on; until a letter with a fox seal finds it's way on to Sect Leader Lan Xichen's desk.
Music Heals All Forms Of Misery, by idontknowwhatimdoinghalfthetime
Two years after the downfall of Jin Guangyao, two individuals are sick and tired of seeing the cultivation world hurt Wei Wuxian even after being cleared of his crimes. So they decide to show the world the truth from all sides. The beautiful and the ugly. Whether or not they are forgiven by the demonic cultivator, in the end, is to be seen. But they know this needs to happen for him to heal.
Maybe it'll be easier to digest if it happens... through song? (*ﾟᗜ˚) (－‸ლ)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GREATLY INSPIRED BY: Mo Dao Zu Shi: The Musical by ILikeReading101
That fic is AMAZING! Please go give it a read!!
MingYu, by Fino_Al_Cielo
The Jiangs are not amused when they find a highly traumatized Wei Wuxian, who also happens to be from the future. Well, that was a lovely weekend.
At least, they gained a new son...?
Chenqing: "setting forth one's thoughts and explaining one's actions", by LyzDrake
After an assassin is nearly successful, Wei Wuxian grows concerned that should it be needed, there will be no one who knows the truth. She decides to entrust it to someone honorable, and the last person she ever thought possible.
General:
Once upon a lifetime, by HuaisangsIntellect
The second he awakens, Wei Wuxian realises that he has been sent to the past, but at what cost? How will he prevent the Sunshot Campaign and make sure none of his loved ones die? And... why is Lan Wangji so different than what he remembered?
(Or: Wei Wuxian somehow finds himself back in the past and causes trouble along the way.)

In his sacrifice, Mo Xuanyu left Wei Wuxian three gifts: a second chance at love, an inherited fortune, and a load’s worth of unresolved bodily issues.

Forgot to write an update for the new chapter:
“No one can deny your place here, not anymore,” Jiang Cheng said, stabbing the pure silver, lotus hair pins into Wei Wuxian’s new braids. The banquet was in a mere few hours, and Jiang Cheng had been exasperated to find him undressed, staring at his new robes in discomfort.
Wei Wuxian blinked back the tears and winced when his brother hit a particularly sensitive part. “Aw, a-Cheng, you really do care.”
“Shut up,” is all Jiang Cheng said as he adjusted the hairstyle until he was satisfied.

Wei Ying can’t find anger in Lan Zhan for leaving. There’s no rage, no pure spite. He doesn’t need to forgive the man. Forgiveness means there was something to blame Lan Zhan for in the first place. No, Wei Ying blames himself for caring. He cannot forgive himself for still loving Lan Zhan because he does, irrevocably and undeniably.
And now?
Now, Wei Ying is tired.

Yunmeng-raised, he is meant for summer, for afternoons swimming in Caiyi Town’s rivers and lotus seed picking in warm lotus lakes. Lan Wangji has found him stretching out underneath the sun on the Jingshi’s porch like an overgrown house cat, eyes fallen into slits in satisfaction and tail curled with contentment. Wei Wuxian is made for the warmth and the sun, and winter merely hinders him. His fragile body means bones aching and cracking in the chill and quickness to fall into heavy colds when the wind hits him the wrong way.
(Or: a warm walk around caiyi town)

For a moment, he remains still on the floor, flesh and bones aching from some foreign and still undiscovered aftermath of an incident. His body still cries out whenever he tries to move, so he settles for observing his surroundings.
Where am I?

Li Mei wonders what it is about Wei Wuxian that would make someone as noble but icy as Hanguang-Jun fall so deeply in love. It would have to be something special, indeed. Special enough for him to willingly tie himself to the Yiling Patriarch for the rest of their lives (and every other after that).

Wei Ying is used to the preppy students at Gusu Academy not liking him, looking down at the kid whose privileges don’t rank up like theirs, who laughs when he should stay silent and runs when he should walk. But it strangely hurts, either way, to watch the golden-eyed boy avoid his touch like that, as if the very thought of meeting contact would burn his skin.
Wei Ying doesn’t want to burn him. He just wants Lan Zhan to look at him.
(Or: the one where wei ying falls first)
