Another year, another rec list with some of the best xuexiao I've read these last 12 months!! >w<

And like last year's rec list, this isn't either exhaustive or limited to fics posted in 2023. It's just the things I have found, which I liked, and want to spread the love about ^-^

Here's, in no particular order, my favourite xuexiao (and occasional songxuexiao) fics. Also, take a look down below for other mxtx or danmei pairings!

You're mine by twilightshards. This is a phenomenal oneshot where Xue Yang does not wait patiently to take revenge on Baixue temple, but rather follows the annoying daoshi out of Jinlintai as soon as he gets off the hook. He catches up with them a couple of nights later, only to find Xiao Xingchen in a... compromised position. While moaning Xue Yang's name.

The tamed by @fieri-sentio-et-excrucior. Last year I recommended the wonderful The Prisoner of Jinlintai fic, and now we got a sequel to that!!! Exciting stuff, very exciting... Xiao Xingchen saves Xue Yang from his botched execution and Song Lan is there raging at what he thinks is a psycho taking full advantage of his friend's kindness. Absolutely loved it!

蛇 - shé by shoujorei. A spectacular oviposition fic with blind snake hybrid Xiao Xingchen and enemy-posing-as-housemate Xue Yang, who really didn't know what he was volunteering for when he offered to "help" daozhang with his next heat. An absolute delight!

good lies go bad by istilfearkanna One of the Yi City what-if's I like so much, showing what would happen if Song Lan is successful in killing Xue Yang and, as per canon, vows not to tell his friend anything. So naturally you have Xiao Xingchen happy about his rekindled friendship, but also deeply worried about his missing friend... breaks my heart every time T-T (thx lionfish13 for the rec!!!)

Down in the black sea by @10holmes. A mermaid AU which has to be the sweetest Xue Yang /Xiao Xingchen tale I've seen in a while, with xxc being a revered merman saving the life of a handsome pirate... without realizing that is the infamous Xue Yang, mermaid hunter and slayer of plenty of his kinsmen!! But of course, they fall in love. It's downright adorable (and deliciously angst-inducing!) Also, the worldbuilding in this one is marvelous!

promises, promises by an anonymous author. Time travel fic!!! This one follows Song Lan trying to right the wrongs of his life in the easiest way possible: that is, to eliminate Xue Yang before he has the chance to hurt anyone else. Except... he gets distracted saving the life of a poor child with a mangled left hand. Still ongoing, and XXC isn't in the picture yet, but the new chapters are highly anticipated and the writing style is so, so, so good.

the non-con opition by the same anonymous author. How do I know? None of your business!! But the awesome writing style continues here, as well as the song lan/xue yang being brought together by fate is just as awesome. It promises to be songxuexiao eventually, for now it's a delightful soulmates/omegaverse with alpha!Song Lan in rut nonconning the hell out of a mysterious omega with a foul mouth.

Sant Xingchen i el drac by @ergbolli45 A little sweet adorable spin of a traditional legend very dear to my heart. It's winter, the Yi City crew are bored around their campfire, and A-Qing wants a story. So, Xue Yang offers to tell a tale from some exotic land on the west about a little princess, a brave knight and a fearsome dragon.

sticking their dick in crazy by Sectionladvivi. I'm not generally one for modern AUs, but this one is such a stupid and shameless pwp that it skyrocketed through my rankings XD SongXueXiao, and oddly enough, the crazy one alluded in the title isn't Xue Yang!! Delicious and filthy. No thoughts, just horn.

Priceless by @fieri-sentio-et-excrucior. Another modern AU!! but how can I resist, when this is Xue Yang breaking and entering happily married songxiao's domicile, who were getting ready for a very sexy night... and end up, Song Lan tied up and forced to watch the criminal fuck Xiao Xingchen senseless (and unaware it's not his husband the one in bed with him!). Evil and sexy, another wonderful fic by such a wonderful author <3

hands, reaching out by @neriine. A retelling of Yi City but with mutation-like special powers, making it especially interesting when it comes to xuexiao's backstory (song lan is also there, in the background) and the night hunts. It's sweet, sweet, Xue Yang as always a murder gremlin who thinks he has it all under control when the first thing that he doesn't know half-way about is his own feelings... Very well-written, and creative in its worldbuilding!

THIS lovely picture is not from a fic (well, not yet, unless I manage to do something cute with it >w<) but serves as an example of all the wonderful pic manips @wangxianswuji has made, which maybe it's cheating a bit for a fanfic rec post, but. They're just so good. Go check their profile and drool with me ^-^

and speaking of art, I can't not mention @wrathyforest's art done for the fic Now that I see you, particularly one of my favourite moments with Xiao Xingchen defending Xue Yang from an undesirable... this fic was in last year's rec list, and very deservingly so!

ANd now for the other ships!

Love of my life, don't hurt me by @foreheadkissesforzewu-jun This is a delightful and spectacularly cruel tale of unrequired love by a gallant cultivator spiriting his soulmate away. At least, that's what Wen Zhuliu sees it, when in fact this fic is him kidnapping and brutally assaulting Lan Xichen, while following the events of the Wen war and the sunshot campaign. Loved it, but PLEASE read the tags.

Jade pillar, bending like reed by awkwardrecline. dark jades (and dark!Lan Xichen in particular) are so so sooo very dear to my heart... this fic has it all, a tyrannical Lan clan leader who will abuse his power left right and center, a jealous didi who wants nothing but possessive love, so much smut everywhere... Cloud Recesses is never as sexy as when the jades are so unrestrained, I love it! ^-^

My future mommy's mistake by tenwudzvrs. Is this fic pretty much what many people consider nono kinks? mpreg, noncon, xue yang being an utter dick? and do I love it precisely because of it? XD pregnant Wei Wuxian goes home one evening but comes across a ruffian in a back alley, who does everything to him up to and including speaking with his husband through the phone while nailing him to the wall. Lan Zhan isn't happy. I am delighted.

What brother needs, brother gets by @foreheadkissesforzewu-jun. a modern AU jadecest pwp which... to be honest, it's pure oral fixation Lan Xichen going to his didi after he got dumped by some idiot and Lan Wangji doing the best he can to comfort him. It's ridiculously shameless and incredibly enjoyable, just to see these two come to the conclusion that the best course of action is to fuck each other!! XD Wei Ying will find a surprise when he gets back home from his travels and finds his husband has collected another husband...

furious love by @alipeeps. From Till the end of the moon, a very nasty and wonderfully in-canon insight on the disastrous marriage between Ye Xiwu (the original) and Tantai Jin. Let's just say she decides to take her marital rights to the extreme, and using the very same lust potion that originally landed her in that marriage to begin with! Tantai Jin is one of those characters that truly suffer beautifully, and suffer he does here!

a fire, made high and wild by @judiwench. A fic for Sleuth of Ming Dynasty, which is a series that wormed its way into my soul. Sui Zhou desperately searches Tang Fan (him, please, him, not his corpse) only to find him... less than good. I was seriously debating between this one and is the festering that kills a man by the same author, but... Agh, they are both amazing snippets at their obvious mutual love, and the trauma that brings it to light. Highly recommend the series and these fics!

a long sleepless night by @dying-redshirt-noises. This one is from Mysterious Lotus Casebook, a wonderful three-way pwp in the Girls' Mansion where Fang Duobing gets doused with sex pollen... of course, Li Lianhua wants to help, but there is not much he can do with his yang disfunction. How handy to have someone like a-Fei nearby to rail the young master, then!! It is sexy and wonderfully in-canon, and I'm all for it.

And I'm probably still forgetting a few fics, there is nowhere near enough jadecest here compared to what I know I have read and enjoyed... Shame on me again for forgetting to bookmark more often than not.

I'm a bit sad that I barely found any of this year's authors on tumblr (don't know if they don't have accounts here, or do under different usernames) so if anyone knows about them, repost bc I'd like to engage and give them my most sincere praise.

Also, I will say I purposefully avoided tgcf fics for fear of spoilers until I read the whole book, so... next year I'm surely filling this with hualian and such!! >w<

Finally, since we're at it, I just will get a bit of self-promotion with the 5 fics I liked most of what I wrote on this year. I'm IMMENSELY PROUD to have produced 36 fics in this year of our lord 2023 (3 per month!!! omfg!!) and while I can't claim favourites, these might be the ones I'm most proud of:

Some kind of dream. Xuexiao roleplaying after a night hunt, with some nice power dynamics, very mutually enthusiastic consensual non-con, and Xue Yang all but confessing that he is Xiao Xingchen's worse enemy... Smut and fluff, all in one. I do love the 3 year bliss in Yi City, and all the in-canon opportunities it offers!!!

Incensed nights. An INSANE endeavor for kinktober, with WangXian dreaming each night a different cozy, cruel, smutty or simply crack-y scenario. 31 fics for the price of one!! multiple pairings, I can't stress how much Lan Zhan dreams of his brother, or wei wuxian's mind follows other ships... Extremely happy with this one, and I nearly went crazy, seriously.

Shards of morning nights and forbidden kisses. My attempt at jadecest, niecest and omegaverse, all in one. ANd quite successful, might I say! Both clan leaders Lan and Nie want to find a way to claim and marry their respective omega didis, but something something clan rules forces them to play a delicate and sexy political game. It ends in a very nice orgy XD

A Comedy of Yi City Errors. This one, I'm particularly happy with the sheer amount of planning and interlocking plotpoints it has, with Song Lan coming across Xiao Xingchen, a-Qing and Xue Yang without even realizing. I'm told it is quite funny... And I like it very much >w<

...what did you call it again? the only one not mdzs in the list, this is for Till the end of the moon and it's yet again Tantai Jin suffering in his so beautiful way! It was done for an exchange, following the premise: take a canon even and make it worse. Do you think ttj had it bad in the series, with the servants mistreating him in Ye Manor? Ya have seen nuffin!!!

Once again, thanks for reading, thanks to all authors for writing, and let's have a wonderful 2024 full of fics and love!!!

Jadecest Somnophilia? Ya know, for Filthy Friday? 🫣

jadecest somno, coming right up! 🫡

Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji were busy during the day. That much was obvious and expected, as they both had duties to attend to as the sect leader and the de facto sect heir and sect disciplinarian. Moreover, as cultivators who wished to maintain harmony between the common people, the other sects, and nature itself, they had Night Hunts to attend, people to negotiate with, and a myriad other minor tasks that meant they hardly saw each other during the day.

At night, it was different. Mostly.

"Xiongzhang?" Lan Wangji asked as he slipped into the Hanshi, without knocking because it created excess noise and he was always welcome anyway. His brother's house was his as well, though he still slept in the Jingshi most nights.

Lan Wangji was met with silence, silence and moonlight and summer air breezing in through the window. He crossed the main room and passed into Lan Xichen's bedroom, where he found his xiongzhang neatly undressed, curled on his side with his hair fanned out against the bed sheets. He hadn't quite gotten his forehead ribbon to the table beside his bed; it hung from his hand outstretched.

Lan Wangji rounded the bed and took it from him, folding it carefully before laying it where Lan Xichen had intended. He was allowed, after all.

Lan Xichen's everything was his, the broadest permissions possible given. They had exchanged ribbons, after all, so when Lan Wangji slowly, carefully untied his ribbon, it was really Lan Xichen's which joined Lan Wangji's on the bedside table.

Lan Wangji didn't bother trying to rouse Lan Xichen. He did miss him, and speaking to him, but rest was important and Lan Wangji could truly see him in the morning. For now...

Lan Xichen did not need to be awake to sate him.

It had been several days since they had last been able to have sex, which was unbearable to Lan Wangji. When they had first become lovers, it was like a dam broke inside Lan Wangji, and now all of the lust he'd ever stuffed down inside himself in his life spilled out mercilessly. So a few days...

Lan Wangji undressed himself, and because there was no rush except the insistence of his body, he folded his clothes neatly so that he could wear the same robes again tomorrow to return to his room without raising suspicion from their shufu or anyone else. He crawled into bed beside Lan Xichen, naked as the day he was born, and he finally put his hands on his brother's beautiful skin.

Lan Xichen was so similar to Lan Wangji physically, to the point where people unfamiliar with them took the twin aspect of the Twin Jades more literally than was accurate, but Lan Wangji knew every part of Lan Xichen's body, and there were some differences. His hip bones stuck out a bit more, and he had slightly more voluptuous pectorals than Lan Wangji did, and his thighs felt softer. This last one was subjective, but Lan Wangji still felt it was the truth.

He was hard within moments, having been deprived so long of his love. Lan Xichen was warm and soft, and Lan Wangji slipped his cock between Lan Xichen's thighs easily, without even having to manhandle his sleeping brother.

He groaned into Lan Xichen's ear at the heavenly feeling of those thighs as he thrust once or twice, and Lan Xichen shifted in his sleep, just a little restless. He didn't wake up, but Lan Wangji found it sweet, like Lan Xichen was missing him while slumbering.

Lan Wangji's hands roved as his hips rolled, as he fucked into that delicious space between Lan Xichen's thighs and brushed up against Lan Xichen's balls each time he was flush with his brother. Lan Wangji had a special fondness for his xiongzhang's nipples, teasing them while they were soft so they would stiffen up even in the balmy summer air.

Lan Wangji took his pleasure quickly, in the end; he had no one to impress, and he also was exhausted. Were Lan Xichen awake to witness this, Lan Wangji would have impressed him, brought breathless smiles to his face as he fucked the air from his lungs, and made him come at least four times before allowing him to really finish. But Lan Wangji let himself be swept away by the tide of pleasure when it first called to him, and he splattered the inside of Lan Xichen's thighs while biting his own thumb, because he still did not want to wake his brother.

In the aftermath, Lan Wangji breathed slowly, with great heaving breaths. He pulled his brother further into his own arms, tucking himself up behind him, and pressed his forehead to the nape of Lan Xichen's neck.

And, just like that, leaving a mess of himself and more importantly Lan Xichen, Lan Wangji slept also.

for @jadedbirch Happy Birthday!

everyone should read El's fabulous fic Rambutan by ElDiablito_SF For six years, Lan Xichen has lived in self-imposed exile in Singapore. But when he hears that his Didi is in a stable relationship with Jiang Wanyin, he decides it is finally time to come home.

Not to break them up or anything. Nope, definitely not to do anything like that.

Thumbs down

Jadecest Week 2023 | Day 4 Sacrifice

Fandom: Mo Dao Zu Shi

Characters: Lan Xichen, Lan Wangji

Ship: Xichen x Wangji

Wordcount: 575

Summary:

The artform of suffering is a craft which Xichen has not considered himself a connoisseur of. It’s not that he hasn’t suffered, because the woven webs of tragedy that lead to his birth ensured that suffering would be a consistent staple of his life. There is a performative aspect to the act of suffering that Xichen, for all his talent and desire to learn cannot harness.

Too much of him already belongs to other people—his family, his clan, the cultivation world, the mass of commoners—they all lay claim to the idea of him, and reality doesn’t matter. The reality of all that Xichen is, a mere afterthought to the glory of the great Zewu-Jun. Lan Xichen is merely the necessary sacrifice to maintain—uphold, praise, revere—the idolatry of Zewu-Jun.

Zewu-Jun must be loved, and so that is facilitated through Xichen. Zewu-Jun must be praised, and so Xichen is praised. Zewu-Jun must be a defender, and so Xichen spends his life protecting others. Zewu-Jun must endure, and so Xichen endures.

In between all of that, there’s hardly much room for the act of suffering regardless of what he is subjected to.

—

The one bright spot in the macabre facade that is Xichen’s life is A-Zhan. In his darkest moments, he wakes up grateful that what plagues him doesn’t seem to affect A-Zhan. A-Zhan loves and accepts him for who he is. A-Zhan requires no sacrifices from him. All he has to do is be a good brother and A-Zhan will love him. A-Zhan loves him and that’s everything; it’s enough for Xichen.

As is the nature of his luck, it is not the same for A-Zhan. A-Zhan opens his mouth and words of love come tumbling out—

Xichen’s stomach holds a pit of vengeful snakes as it sinks to somewhere around his ankles.

Brothers are supposed to love each other. But not like this. Never like this. —

Xichen knows what is expected of him. He knows what he’s supposed to do. The problem with all of the proper answers and solutions is that they all will lead to A-Zhan leaving at some point. If Xichen pushes him away—unacceptable.

He is tired, his entire life has been one of sacrifice. And yet, life is still worth living.

Perhaps, living is a sacrifice. Xichen is familiar with sacrifice. He knows how to endure.

— Xichen is not willing to sacrifice A-Zhan. He refuses to live in a world where he has to sacrifice everything that lays between he and A-Zhan.

Xichen loves his brother, as he does everything else in life, with efficient excellence. Every step taken by A-Zhan is matched by Xichen. Every night A-Zhan comes to him, Xichen welcomes him with open arms. Xichen now walks a delicate balance of loving his brother with a fervent ardor while trying to keep himself sane.

Slowly, but surely, Xichen learns the leisurely act of suffering. He learns that suffering never abandons you once you begin the practice. It accompanies you, wraps itself as a loving noose around his neck. He learns that suffering can be found in all moments, even those of the highest pleasure. He learns that suffering takes many shapes; be it love, sacrifice, guilt, fear, or even pleasure. He learns that sometimes, suffering is pure selfishness.

He learns that for him, suffering—well, it only ever had one face. —

Xichen makes another sacrifice—he tears himself asunder. Someone needs to match his brother’s jagged edges.

—

A-Zhan’s love is everything.

A/N: Ok call me a 1 hit wonder cause again sat down and wrote this in like 3 hours while at the library while i was supposed to be working on my new resume

idk longform jadecest scares me, (we have too many of the same operative traumas.)

Thanks to the jadecest discord for being funny on my screen while I'm supposed to be busy at work, Thanks especially to @foxyyaoguai who is so fucking amazing because deadass if it wasn't for her this fic would not exist

Anyway this will be cleaned up and posted to ao3 some time next year
