do....you not have access to AO3? Can you not simply look this up yourself? (Seems unlikely since you LINKED the dang fic) Are the mods somehow responsible for WIPS?

...or more likely, were you hoping this would catch the eye of the anon writer and shame them into finishing for you? JFC, the entitlement of fans.

Has the story Kingfisher Feathers by Anonymous on AO3 been completed? I have upto chapter 11. https://archiveofourown.org/works/25604389

No, it appears to still be at 11/13.

1. thank you again for saving me from missing-fic misery!!! really appreciate what you do for us. Can you help me find a fox-wy, dragon lwj, where foxian encounters dragonji during heat, and ends up with several fox-dragon babies - i think lotus pier is protective of foxian - i know dragonji shows up and tries to win the family. at one point a predator grabs one of the babies and i believe dragonji saves him. the story was sweet and i could really use that right now!! thank you!

FOUND? #1 is the foxxian/dragonji threadfic by cerbykerby on twitter/x

2. Hi, I'm looking for a fic I'm pretty sure I found it on this blog a few days ago but I forgot to mark it. A) The summary was something like this

"Wei Wuxian knew he would marry Lan Wangji from the moment he met him. Cangse Sanren, a romantic at heart was fully supportive of this endeavor. But that was before he found out LWJ was Lan Qiren's nephew... How could rogue cultivator, Cangse Sanren's son at that ever be worthy? " And the there was a bit about him not having the heart to tell his mom that it won't work out.

"Now his inability to tell the truth is coming back to bite him."

B) there's another one I'm looking for, it was something like Baoshan Sanren's disciples aren't exactly human but nobody knows that. Being cloud recesses was triggering WWX's nesting instinct so he dotes on the other disciples.They don't know his inhuman nature so they just think he's the mom friend. I think he was a dragon but I'm not sure. @shylurker111

4. Hi! I lost this a little while ago and tried to find it again but I couldn't find it.

> around 20 chapters

> wangxian

> time travel and portals

> wen survivor's lived

Wwx and WQ or someone decides that they should leave the burial mounds. LWJ knew of this plan and was helping them (either by keeping the secret or bringing supplies I don't remember). WWX makes a portal array and planned to use it to leave. Day of the plan sent out two people to place the anchor for the other end of the portal. Plan gets destroyed because siege. LWJ was part of the siege because WWX framed for hurting LQ. WWX modifies it array so they get sent back in time instead. Roughly 100 years. LWJ is sad because WWX is gone. LWJ either leaves or distance himself from the Lan traveling around as a cultivator. Runs into the two scouts that were sent ahead to place the other portal anchor. Eventually finds the village where the remnants that traveled to the past settle down and finds their descendants. While in the past WWX rebuilt his core, became immortal, and then used another portal to travel forward in time; so he didn't cause a time paradox with himself. A-yuan beacon immortal as well in that time and meets LWJ in that village. Reunion between wangxian.

I know there is more I just can't remember it

Additional information is that WWX and WQ went to the past lan sect to ask for use of the library/knowledge to accelerate WWX core rebuilding

Thank you in advance! @charrychailatte

5. I come to you seeking a Xuanwu redemption fic! As far as I recall, WWX used the Xuanwu in the war and then sealed himself with it in a lake(?) near Lotus Pier. A number of years later, they both emerged, and Xuanwu was tiny baby turtle. No more murder, ready to seek divinity again! 🐢 They travelled to Cloud Recesses or somewhere close to it, I think, in search of Xuanwu's new home. @linderel

6. Hi so time travel fix it maybe but kind of alternate universe where they are some kind of animal I remember specifically wwx is a nine-tailed fox and he finds out that his husband is a dragon and I saw it specific scene where wwx was I don't know standing around and then his sister came and he hide his tail and ears

~*~

7. Hi . Thank you for helping me out

The fic was set during and after cloud recess but I think there was no war. And wei wuxian was not kicked out and stayed in cloud recess. While returning back to Lotus pier lan xichen asks wei wuxian to write to lan wangi and so they start exchanging letters. And wei ying sends his own paperman with those letters and lan zhan keeps it with him . I don't remember the exact ending if there was war or not . That's it

I hope you can help me find it

Thank you

8. Hello, I have a fic finder request, please! It was set in Cloud Recesses lecture arc. Lan Qiren noticed that Wei Wuxian did not have good manners and he didn’t know political/diplomacy things that a head disciple should know (such as the wrong bow for his station). After speaking with WWX, LQR realized that Madame Yu had purposefully trained WWX poorly so that he would embarrass himself in front of visiting clans and to stunt any potential political growth (so WWX wouldn’t be more capable than JC). LQR then gives WWX classes in etiquette and diplomacy. Thank you! @gloriousclotpole

9. looking for a fic set during the sunshot campaign in which lcx, nmj, jc, lwj, and wwx are all having a war meeting at an inn and the wens suddenly rent the room right next to theirs. this prompts wwx to speak in a high falsetto pretending to be a gossiping auntie so they dont get caught and lwj joins in

10. I'm looking for a nsfw ff where:

⚠️Wei Wuxian wanders into a cave and comes across a nest—possibly with a dragon egg in it. He quickly realizes that if the egg’s parent comes back and catches him there, he could be in serious danger.

⚠️Just as he's about to leave, the dragon returns. Wei Wuxian tries to talk his way out of it, referring to it as a she, but it was actually a he, then apologized when he realized his mistake so the dragon won't get angry 💀😭

⚠️the dragon was wary of him at first, but instead of attacking, but then he started getting closer and smelling his scent and decided to mate him while wwx thought at first he was thinking about eating him, he found out out the truth the hard way (after getting knotted lol ).

11. Hi! I’m looking for a fic, post canon where sizhui gets injured and ends up in lotus pier (I think wen Ning brings him) and wwx and Jiang cheng are sitting by his bedside and Jiang cheng figures out sizhui is a wen and wwx thinks he’s threatening him but Jiang cheng just says he wishes he knew sooner.

13. hi, anyone who knows the fanfic i read years ago 2022 i think. its about weiying being in the yunmeng to help jiang cheng but accident happened like weiying commiting suicide (? if this is not the word you meant please let us know ~Mod L) but then they learned that its his past self? this happened after the story in novel and weiying even have another adopted son @liev390

#13 seems familiar. I haven’t read the fic but came across it here, I think. It’s post-canon, wangxian is happily married. But past Wei Ying (Yiling Laozu era) somehow possesses? him and tried to kill him. Thus others think Wei Ying tried to commit suicide. Anyone knows this?

~*~

14. Hello again! I am looking for a story that I have only read once and I have no idea if its completed or not. Wei Ying gets resurrected in Lan Zhan's wife/fiance. I'm not sure which.

15. Hi, I’m looking for a fic on ao3 and can’t remember the title. I just remember that after WWX comes back to life, he travels around and plays his dizi, sometimes even sings. Civilians would listen to him, and I think he sang Qu Jin Chen Qing at one point because someone even asked him about the lyric "dueled with the most beautiful person in Gusu." @scrthr

16. I'm looking for a fic where wwx dies when he falls to the Burial Mounds but then his soul "clings" to life and then he becomes a fierce corpse. Thank you!

~*~

17. Ficfinder request: it was a sort-of case-fic where WangXian adopt a baby. They're in an inn's tavern gathering info and overhear some guys talking about a sacrifice they made. WWX gets REALLY mad because it's a newborn baby (they might have killed the mother or she died in childbirth) and gets the location from them by deliberately scaring them. He and LWJ head out right away, find and rescue the baby and kill the yao/ghost, then head back to town to their room. WWX keeps the baby in his robes to keep (her?) warm on the swordflight back and I think teases LWJ by pointing out he looks pregnant and LWJ has feels about it. They keep the baby in their room, planning to find someone to give it to, but after asking around there's no one (I think because the mother was a prostitute?) and the next day they decide to keep it and head home. @mondengel2

18. I’ve tried looking through the WWX is a Wen tag and I still can’t find this. It’s a time travel where WWX steps in to use politics to help reform the wen sect and at one point wen ruohan is upset enough to brand him and then feels very regretful afterwards. He had a super complicated relationship with WWX, not quite adopted parent but close. I really wanna read this again plz!! 🙏

~*~

19. Hi Friend, I had read a LWJ / WWX fanfic where drunk LWJ spends a night with WWX and forgets it. WWX gets pregnant and is ill treated by the Jiang family. They keep him in isolation i think. It was angst but with happy ending. Would be great if you could re-find it for me. Thank you for your hard work. @skyflowersmountainssea

20. hello!! sorry to bother, but I was wondering if you could help me find this one fic?? I cannot remember the name of it for the life of me but I’m like 94% sure it involved a young Jin Ling who had always heard stories abt wwx but whenever he asked where he was he was told that no one knew?? And he wanted to find him bc his family always seemed so melancholy when talking about him. I’m pretty sure he ended up finding sizhui and wen ning?? It was part of a series I believe and one of the other fics in the series was wwx centric and jgy and the jin sect basically said that if he could take out x amount of fierce corpses they would let him walk. @dekhaekkhwab

The rooftop scene is my everything. So like... when will they fix this bug and give us the opportunity to make Connor a deviant right there? WITH THE KISS.

[moku-youbi]

I have been saying this since he started the season 1 promo. Anyone who has read GO, and also read anything by either of/both Pratchett/Gaiman should be able to tell that GO is largely Pratchett--and at least, the *best* parts of it. The charming, funny, touching parts of it.

It's so fucking obvious he was flat out lying, straight up whole-cloth inventing these conversations between himself and Pratchett about where the story would go, as he constantly expanded on things, came up with new things, well after Terry's death, like please your brains for one single second, my fam.

And it shouldn't be a surprise that Gaiman was trying to take more and more of the credit. Makes me think of this thread about how much of Sandman is cribbed, sometimes whole paragraphs at a time, from the Flat Earth series, by Tanith Lee, and how he never once even credited her as inspiration. If he could've gotten away with stealing Pratchett's writing straight up, he'd have done it in a heartbeat, but unlike Lee, Pratchett's too beloved and famous for that to slip, so he did it this weasley way instead.

That tv show lacks all the warmth, soul, and charm of the books, and it's insulting that anyone bought his shit about it being from Pratchett. Terry would never.

There was an interesting thread on Bluesky dissecting Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's relationship

TL:DR - It seems like Gaiman has been exaggerating the level of closeness between them for YEARS

[moku-youbi]

I think I commented on this before, IDK, but I'm not going to shut up about it, because no. NO. You didn't WANT to know. Gaiman showed this side of him self *ages* ago. How do I know? 'Cause it was at least 10+ years ago that he encouraged his fans to dox my friend, on twitter, because she had the audacity to speak up about his disgusting, misogynistic comments about an actress at a con. (Basically some gross dude made a comment to her face about how he jerked off to her, and she was trying to be polite but also clearly uncomfortable and Gaiman told her she should take it as a compliment and not get her panties in a bunch, look it's been a minute, I don't remember all the details anymore)

I screamed about this on many of his posts, told people directly when they praised him on here, and never got so much as a peep of a reply. And this was easily confirmable. At least at the time, the tweets were still there, of her (very non-confrontationally calling him out like "hey, this isn't okay." and him going rabid and siccing his fanbase on her). A rich, famous, influential man with an army of fans on twitter went after a random nobody for pointing out this problematic encounter, and NO ONE CARED. Everyone straight up ignored me.

And okay, fine, maybe you didn't see my reblogs or comments, maybe you weren't one of the people I messaged directly. I'm hardly a name on here. BUT, the thing is, he showed this same behaviour ON THIS FUCKING SITE, all the damn time. The way he belittled people who sent him asks was truly disgusting. Ya know, it's fine to not like the questions you're being asked, especially when they feel repetitive, or if they feel intrusive. But the problem is, Gaiman fostered this parasocial relationship with his fans here, and as long as they were appropriately worshipful, he treated them kindly. But the contempt he showed to the socially awkward, and the way he encouraged his huge fanbase on here to dogpile onto his rude, aggressive replies to their asks, is very telling of what sort of person he is. He could have answered those asks privately. He could have ignored and deleted them. He could have give a very simple "I've already answered this" or "I'm not going to answer these sorts of questions." Instead, he chose to regularly excoriate random nobodies who were FANS OF HIS WORK for not interacting with it in the way he wanted, or asking questions that annoyed him. He made himself accessible on this platform and then behaved very irresponsibly with his fame.

And you all don't get to pretend like this is somehow a revelation. Plenty of you reblogged those disgusting answers he gave to asks--that's how I saw them, because I sure as fuck didn't *follow* him, yet people I did follow would reblog them with a gleeful sort of schadenfreude, a "look at this idiot he's tearing apart," instead of "look at this powerful man using his platform to demean and belittle a fan."

You wanted your gay Angel and Demon (and don't EVEN get me started on Good Omens, dear fucking christ, and how that man RUINED my favourite book, and how everything that was good about it, and lovely about Aziraphale/Crowely came from Pratchett), you wanted your emo boy Dream, you wanted to preen at the famous guy who deigned to walk among us on tumblr, all "Notice me, Senpai!" so you chose to ignore all the ugly stuff and the voices quietly railing against him, until there were too many voices, on too large a platform for you to ignore anymore.

I'm not saying there aren't predators who fly below the radar, because sadly there definitely are, and it's scary. But I'm also not about to let the people who sat idly by while Gaiman bullied fans on the regular clutch their pearls and gasp "how could we have ever known?"

(and because I've legit got people come in my messages before about "why are you attacking me personally about this" the 'you' in this is the collective, not a specific individual, and if you're getting defensive, maybe examine why you feel that way...)

I want to step away from the art-vs-artist side of the Gaiman issue for a bit, and talk about, well, the rest of it. Because those emotions you're feeling would be the same without the art; the art just adds another layer.

Source: I worked with a guy who turned out to be heavily involved in an international, multi-state sex-slavery/trafficking ring.

He was really nice.

Yeah.

It hits like a dumptruck of shit. You don't feel stable in your world anymore. How could someone you interacted with, liked, also be a truly horrible person? How could your judgement be that bad? How can real people, not stylized cartoon bogeymen, be actually doing this shit?

You have to sit with the fact that you couldn't, or probably couldn't, have known. You should have no guilt as part of this horror — but guilt is almost certainly part of that mess you're feeling, because our brains do this associative thing, and somehow "I liked [the version of] the guy [that I knew]", or his creations, becomes "I made a horrible mistake and should feel guilty."

You didn't, loves, you didn't.

We're human, and we can only go by the information we have. And the information we have is only the smallest glimpse into someone else's life.

I didn't work closely with the guy I knew at work, but we chatted. He wasn't just nice; he was one of the only people outside my tiny department who seemed genuinely nice in a workplace that was rapidly becoming incredibly toxic. He loaned me a bike trainer. Occasionally he'd see me at the bus stop and give me a lift home.

Yup. I was a young woman in my twenties and rode in this guy's car. More than once.

When I tell this story that part usually makes people gasp. "You must feel so scared about what could have happened to you!" "You're so lucky nothing happened!"

No, that's not how it worked. I was never in danger. This guy targeted Korean women with little-to-no English who were coerced and powerless. A white, fluent, US citizen coworker wasn't a potential victim. I got to be a person, not prey.

Y'know that little warning bell that goes off, when you're around someone who might be a danger to you? That animal sense that says "Something is off here, watch out"?

Yeah, that doesn't ping if the preferred prey isn't around.

That's what rattled me the most about this. I liked to think of myself as willing to stand up for people with less power than me. I worked with Japanese exchange students in college and put myself bodily between them and creeps, and I sure as hell got that little alarm when some asian-schoolgirl fetishist schmoozed on them. But we were all there.

I had to learn that the alarm won't go off when the hunter isn't hunting. That it's not the solid indicator I might've thought it was. That sometimes this is what the privilege of not being prey does; it completely masks your ability to detect the horrors that are going on.

A lot of people point out that 'people like that' have amazing charisma and ability to lie and manipulate, and that's true. Anyone who's gotten away with this shit for decades is going to be way smoother than the pathetic little hangers-on I dealt with in university. But it's not just that. I seriously, deeply believe that he saw me as a person, and he did not extend personhood to his victims. We didn't have a fake coworker relationship. We had a real one. And just like I don't know the ins-and-outs of most of my coworkers lives, I had no idea that what he did on his down time was perpetrate horrors.

I know this is getting off the topic, but it's so very important. Especially as a message to cis guys: please understand that you won't recognize a creep the way you might think you will. If you're not the preferred prey, the hind-brain alarm won't go off. You have to listen to victims, not your gut feeling that the person seems perfectly nice and normal. It doesn't mean there's never a false accusation, but face the fact that it's usually real, and you don't have enough information to say otherwise.

So, yeah. It fucking sucks. Writing about this twists my insides into tense knots, and it was almost a decade ago. I was never in danger. No one I knew was hurt!

Just countless, powerless women, horrifically abused by someone who was nice to me.

You don't trust your own judgement quite the same way, after. And as utterly shitty as it is, as twisted up and unstead-in-the-world as I felt the day I found out — I don't actually think that's a bad thing.

I think we all need to question our own judgement. It makes us better people.

I don't see villains around every corner just because I knew one, once. But I do own the fact that I can't know, really know, about anyone except those closest to me. They have their own full lives. They'll go from the pinnacles of kindness to the depths of depravity — and I won't know.

It's not a failing. It's just being human. Something to remember before you slap labels on people, before you condemn them or idolize them. Think about how much you can't know, and how flawed our judgement always is.

Grieve for victims, and the feeling of betrayal. But maybe let yourself off the hook, and be a bit slower to skewer others on it.

[moku-youbi]

IDK if anyone still pays attention this, but I'm almost finished with the next chapter of Bomb. I know I've been bad about communication, but I'm going to be better, goshdarnit. When I have it posted, I'm going to go through all the messages on here and ao3 and discord that I've missed, and start responding--so if you haven't heard from me, it wasn't that I was ignoring you--I legit haven't read them because life and my stupid brain got in the way. But I hope to have the chapter up by this weekend. Ugh. I wish I had a good explanation of why it took so long, but the main reason is that the chapter just kept coming out wrong. I'd write it, and then be like "well, I like this, but it isn't the story I'm telling!" Then I'd fret and hand-wring because I *do* like all the versions of the chapter I've written, and I don't want to toss them out. But they don't fit with the outline or the way I want to progress with Klaus and Five's relationship in this part, but I can't just repurpose them for later in the fic, because they won't work except as a direct response to Klaus being alive again and the fight he and Five had in the last chapter, so eventually I just have to get over myself and completely rewrite it all again.

But it's almost there!!!

[moku-youbi]

Lmao let me get this right: the pipe died hours after meeting with Vance, where Vance said he prayed for him every day. Man, you can't make this shit up.

Hey, just checking in on those of you who refused to vote for Harris, or indeed protest voted for someone else...

How's that working out for you?

Excited to see the new Gaza resort for the ultra rich once Trump relocates everyone by force (everyone who isn't dead, that is)?

Loving how pro-Palestinian protestors are being rounded up by ICE, detained, and deported?

And outside your personal realm of influence, are you glad that tens of thousands of allies and supporters are losing their jobs, their rights, their homes, their loved ones?

Look, I never wished any of this on any of you, despite your stupid fucking choices. But you all decided that the short term of sticking it to the democratic party was worth the long term damage to everyone in the fucking country.

Now I live every day in fear of what this will mean for the most vulnerable in this country, and for my son, a 12 year old whose mental health has declined significantly since the election. But IDK, maybe you think we deserve it, even though we've always been on your side. And maybe that means you're no better than the worst of the conservatives, who only care how it hurts you, and fuck everyone else.
