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!
Tumblr media
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!
Tumblr media
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!!!

I think the nail in the coffin of XueXiao being SO utterly heartbreaking to me is just how obviously and instantly compatible they actually are when no outside factors are allowed to interfere. Xiao Xingchen can’t keep a straight face around him, Xue Yang can’t stop telling jokes to make him laugh, they’re GENUINELY just SO happy together when the rest of the world is at arm’s length. Xue Yang stopped his own revenge plot because he was just SO content living in domestic bliss. Xiao Xingchen stopped traveling to settle down. If they’d met in any context that allowed them to not be antagonistic to each other, they’d have instantly become inseparable friends. They’re so obviously and easily important to each other and it’s for no other reason than literally just LIKING each other SO MUCH. 
It’s such a tragedy of “right person, wrong timing”, because by the time they really met, it was already too late for them to see eye to eye, and the only reason they end up being ABLE to is because they have this false clean slate. But WITH a clean slate (even a false one) they get along SO well and SO easily that the impossibility of that lasting is absolutely gut wrenching.

This all started because I was pondering on what motive Xue Yang had to make Xiao Xingchen a “bad” man. We could talk about his revenge towards Xiao Xingchen but with this I think Wei Wuxian makes a good point. He asks Xue Yang who he really was taking revenge for. If it was for himself, why did he dig out Chang Ping’s eyes? Why did he torture him to death? Who was he really trying to repay? Wei Wuxian is, of course, alluding to the idea that Xue Yang was doing it to avenge Xiao Xingchen. With this being said, I don’t think Xue Yang made Xiao Xingchen commit crimes for “revenge” if the whole reason he even committed a brutal crime was for Xiao Xingchen.
The real motive was this: Xue Yang had to bring Xiao Xingchen down to his level. He had to make him a killer just like Xue Yang because Xue Yang couldn't come up. He didn’t want to become “better” because he saw it as pointless and unfruitful. Xue Yang couldn’t become the ethereal and kind being Xiao Xingchen was to him. He didn't have it in him to be kind and selfless like Xiao Xingchen but he still wanted them to be equals. He wanted to walk in Xiao Xingchen's company as an equal, a real friend, someone to be needed. However, Xiao Xingchen, wonderful and gentle and generous Xiao Xingchen, would never need- never want- a murderer, even if Xue Yang murdered for Xiao Xingchen. He was upset because the very thing Xiao Xingchen hated him for was supposed to be a good gesture. It was a sign of protection, of undying loyalty. Xiao Xingchen was "too good," in Xue Yang's words, for him. He was too righteous to see that someone could do evil things for good reasons, to avenge someone who would never do it themself.
So it’s this vicious cycle where Xiao Xingchen was an enemy, then an obsession, someone to be respected. Under a new identity, Xiao Xingchen even became his friend. Xiao Xingchen gave him freedom from the burden of his reputation. For years, Xue Yang behaved (to Xiao Xingchen’s knowledge) but even with that knowledge, with that tangible experience, Xiao Xingchen immediately wants to fight him, to remove Xue Yang from his life. How hard must that have been? To have been someone loved and needed in one moment and cast to the side for your past actions in another? Again, this is all bearing in mind that Xiao Xingchen does not know what the audience knows yet. Xiao Xingchen only knows that this man makes him laugh every day, that he goes to the market for him and A-Qing, that he makes animals from apples. He leaves Xue Yang candy! Yet, as soon as it is revealed that he is Xue Yang, none of that seems to matter anymore.
What would have happened if Song Lan never showed up? What if A-Qing had never told Xiao Xingchen about Xue Yang’s true identity? What if they kept on as they were? Xue Yang didn’t bring up Xiao Xingchen’s “crimes” until Xiao Xingchen turned on him (in his mind) and made him feel as less than. If he was really trying to torture Xiao Xingchen, then why wait years to reveal what Xue Yang made him do? I think Xue Yang was trying to create his own ideal world- one where Xiao Xingchen came down to his level, was humanized, and in a city where no one could reveal that he was actually Xiao Xingcehn’s mortal enemy (killing all of the villagers with an alternative motive besides just “make Xiao Xingchen commit crimes.”) He was setting up a home, in a twisted way, where he could keep an eye on everything, continuing to be the puppet master in this grand scheme where the ultimate goal was to have something akin to family.

Xiao Xingchen, having learned The Truth while Xue Yang was out getting groceries: stabs Xue Yang in the stomach without hesitation the second he opens the door
Xue Yang, looking down at the sword still in his guts: "Okay, so, I'm sensing that you're upset"

“Wanna share some of my candy, daozhang?” His little friend’s voice trips up teasingly, playful. 
“If you are willing,” xingchen answers fondly and holds out his hand. “The candies are yours. You do not have to.”
“I want to share something tasty,” his friend answers, and xingchen’s heart warms. 
But his friend does not put the candy in his waiting hand. He hears the crinkle of the wrapper, his friend’s soft little giggle like he's playing a trick. “If you do not want to share—“
Lips are against his. Warm, trapped, pulled into a smile. A tongue touches his mouth, grainy with sugar, and xingchen can’t help but open to the press of it. Then his friend’s clever tongue is in his mouth, followed swiftly by the melting candy. His friend huffs a little breath, makes a little noise of pleasure when Xingchen sucks the candy imto his mouth, sucks the sugar from his tongue. He shivers and chases after the candy in Xingchen’s mouth. 
It melts quickly between them, until they are trading wet lazy kisses, glazed with sugar and syrupy saliva. 
“Tasty?” His little friend purrs breathlessly against Xingchen’s mouth when they part. 
“Delicious.” Xingchen agrees, and leans in to taste him again.
