And They Were Roommates! or The Accidental Domming of Lan Wangji (21890 words) by DizziDreams Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: 陈情令 | The Untamed (TV), 魔道祖师 - 墨香铜臭 | Módào Zǔshī - Mòxiāng Tóngxiù Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Lán Zhàn | Lán Wàngjī/Wèi Yīng | Wèi Wúxiàn Characters: Lan Zhan | Lan Wangji, Wei Ying | Wei Wuxian

Summary: When Wei Ying moves in with Lan Zhan, he worries that it may change their relationship. They’re best friends, but Wei Ying knows they're very different when it came to things that made roommates compatible, such as what constituted "clean" and "an appropriate bed time". It turns out that he need not have worried! There’s an adjustment period for sure, but once Wei Ying starts teaching Lan Zhan how to let go and relax a little, things fall easily into place. Despite their differences, they fit together well! In fact, Wei Ying’s never felt so at ease in his life… …right up until Wen Qing corners him after his housewarming party and asks him when he got into domming. OR Sometimes you just gotta dom your roommate/friend into a little stress-relieving masturbation, you know what I mean, bestie?

Teen:

Shards of Hope, by Dreaming_Days (18 chapters)

He had fought his entire life to make his way in the world. Made choices that turned his stomach just to survive. Built a life with blood and sweat and watched it crumble before him. And, in the end, utterly forsaken, Jin Guangyao died.

Then, 25 years earlier, Meng Yao woke up.

how Yao Yongzheng traveled back in time to save everyone, by ShippersList (🔒)

”You were a man who loved the sound of his own voice,” the shape says, voice drifting over to him like a half-forgotten scent. ”So, how about you put that voice to better use and show what good you actually are.”

OR

A story in which Fate challenges Sect Leader Yao to put his money where his mouth is and change everything better. Obviously, it should be easy and simple because Sect Leader Yao knows everything, right?

General:

A Significant Difference, by nirejseki

Lan Qiren wouldn’t have thought that there was much difference between being acting sect leader and raising one’s nephews because your brother was in permanent seclusion and being acting sect leader as regent for one’s underaged nephews because one’s brother was dead, but apparently there was.

A significant difference.

Wangxian meeting at the mall, single mom wwx shopping for some clothes with his little radish.

wen!wwx au fic, by @stiltonbasket

Prompt: For the wen!wwx au, how does lwj find out that wwx is a spy for the resistance?

Happy Ending, by pinkychan (6 chapters)

After eloping with Lan Zhan, Wei Wuxian is living his best life, because happy is what happens when all your dreams come true... excetp when it doesn't.

OR

Don’t Think About the White Bear [your past life]

The Missing Piece, by nununununu (🔒)

Wei Wuxian leaves and the world forgets him. Even Lan Wangji.

Except he doesn't, of course. He can't. How could he?

Forget Gold, by mondengel (🔒)

Wei WuXian admires his husband

Teen:

What Remains After the War, by Swan_Song

There is a child in the burial mounds.

Looking at the face of a sobbing toddler, crying for the man he once called brother, Jiang Wanyin he can’t find it in him to care that the boy has Wen blood.

He takes the boy home

A-Ying Lives Alone, by DizziDreams

Lan Qiren approaches, trying not to frown as he looks down at the young boy in his strange clothes. “Young man, are your parents at work? They should not have left you home alone without a caretaker."

"No, shushu!" The boy shakes his head vigorously, large eyes growing wide. "A-Ying lives alone!"

General:

Each Day I Go Into the Fields, by stiltonbasket (48th in a series)

“Wei Ying,” Lan Zhan’s uncle says, on a balmy summer morning about a week after the Duanwu festival. “Have you and Wangji been down to the produce field lately?”

Wei Wuxian looks at Lan Zhan over the Jingshi’s scarred kitchen table, puzzled by the sudden question, and passes Xiao-Yu a plate of hot baozi before turning back to his uncle-in-law.

“Of course, Uncle,” he replies, wondering if the baby disciples have been trampling over Lan Qiren’s favorite herb patch again. “Why do you ask?”

Or: a year after his wedding, Wei Wuxian is surrounded by an overgrowth of vegetables, and just the right amount of love.

life in love's exchange, by stiltonbasket

“Do you think I don’t want to marry you?”

“You’re not in love with me,” Nie Mingjue says, pointing out the obvious. “Why would you want to?”

“You have been my dearest friend since before we both laid eyes on our little brothers,” Xichen smiles, leaning over to kiss his forehead. “There is no one closer in my heart, and that will never change; so if I must marry now, whom could it be but you?”

Jin Guangshan shows his hand too soon in the aftermath of the Sunshot Campaign.

Luckily for everyone else, Nie Huaisang plays to win.

Fic recs MDZS/The Untamed

I hope that you catch me (’cause I’m already falling) by larkspur_9

Modern AU with reincarnation lwj has an unreasonable fear of his loved ones falling from heights, which culminates in him grabbing a stranger (wwx) in a coffee shop. They connect and start dating, while getting flashes of a past life together

you lift my heart up (when the rest of me is down) by thievinghippo

Modern Dance AU everyone knows Wei Wuxian and Wen Qing are a couple. Lan Wangji dances and pines and wishes Wei Wuxian would look at him the way he looks at Wen Qing. But maybe he’s just not paying attention. Delicious with a little angst and jealousy for extra flavor

a season of splendor by Deisderium

Modern AU lwj is a professional baseball player and wwx is a tailor who makes suits for lwj’s away games. They fall in love one stitch at a time. One of my fave tropes when outsiders have to tell wangxian they’re dating

let your colours bleed and blend with mine by ravenditefairylights

Alternate canon wwx falls but he doesn’t die – Zidian cushions his landing, leaving him broken but alive. What else could he do than go back and try to protect Lotus Pier from the shadows. Only instead of remaining in the shadows he somehow becomes a superhero. Very fun!

Avowal by cqlorphan

Alternate canon lwj has to remain in the Burial Mounds a little longer than planned, leading to the rumor that he is ~kidnapped~. As such, he puts himself in the yllz’s hands, and in wwx’s heart. Really lovely

there's no protection from the love by twinagonies

Modern AU wwx’s community center is hosting a benefit concert whose ~tastefully nude~ advertisement looks exactly like wwx himself. Unrelatedly, lwj is in town to help with the concert. Really cute reunion fic with gorgeous art

Wei Wuxian’s Exceptionally Honest Guide to the Cloud Recesses by invitan

Modern Cultivation AU lwj mourns the burnt remnants of his home, interspersed with a past recording from wwx recounting his time at Cloud Recesses. The mix of hope and grief in this one – not for the faint of heart, but beautiful

you belong among the wildflowers (you belong in a boat out at sea) by DizziDreams

Fluffy AU lwj is a mermaid, wwx is a huli jing, and though water and land are two very different ecosystems, they make it work. Wwx will pick every flower on earth for lwj. They’re in love!

in my heart and on my mind by sophiahelix

Modern AU wwx comes back from a teaching sabbatical and finds that lwj has become a heartbreak hugger for all their students. But who could have been the one who broke the inestimable lwj’s heart?? So cute, with Junior shenanigans

old wounds unspoken by sassybluee

Post canon wwx wakes up in bed with his husband – except his husband doesn’t seem to believe it, convinced wwx is dead and he is alone. Achy, with lwj’s raw grief and heartbreak, but ends with cuddling husbands to soothe the sadness

[untamedho]

Students of Song and Seeds by DizziDreams

Lan Wangji had two goals when he arrived at Gusu University, where he would be studying Illusion Magic in the university's acclaimed Music program:

Graduate with honors.

Do not acquire a soulmate.

It should be easy. Lan Wangji was a good student, and should be able to achieve top marks if he studied hard. As for the issue of a soulmate...well, Lan Wangji was careful. Careful to keep people at a distance. Careful not to touch. He had spent a lifetime learning to avoid the casual brush of fingers or bumping shoulders with inattentive strangers.

But Lan Wangji had forgotten the promise he had heard Brother extract from his friend over the holiday: "I'm worried. Even Wangji needs friends. Keep an eye on him for me next year.”

Perhaps Lan Wangji had hoped it was forgotten. That the loud, intrusive young man was the type to forget promises, and that Lan Wangji would be able to get through his first year in peace.

It was a hope that crumbled away as Wei Wuxian walked into Lan Wangji's history class and plopped into the seat next to him with a beaming smile and a delighted laugh.

"What are the odds, xiandi?" Wei Wuxian said. "It looks like we'll be seeing a lot of each other."

Playing Possum by DizziDreams

Playing Possum

by DizziDreams

T, 1k, Wangxian

Summary: Lan Wangji is woken in the night by the sound of animals fighting, and there is more to the opossum he rescues than there seems.

Kay's comments: An adorable short story about modern AU were-opposum Wei Wuxian, who gets injured by a coyote and rescued by Lan Wangji. The idea of opposum Wei Wuxian is just so much fun. I love it!

Excerpt: He rounds the corner, golf club lifted, ready to strike should he man attack— Only to be met with the site of a very naked man holding up a pair of his shorts, eyes startled. “Who are—” Lan Wangji starts, but then the man drops to the floor like a marionette whose strings have been cut, eyes rolling back, tongue lolling out of his mouth. Lan Wangji blinks at him, too shocked to speak. Is…is this man playing possum?

6. Itmf a fic that made you learn something new. Maybe it was a cool vocab word, or a character used an instrument you'd never heard of, or contained details about an unfamiliar skill set, or made you consider something in a new way, etc. Tell us what you learned! I read a fic where ghost wwx played the hurdy gurdy in cr to juniors (forgot title, help!) & now it's one of my fav instruments.

For the Love of Quilting by Scrippio (T, 5k, WangXian, Modern: No Powers, Quilt Shop AU, First Meeting, Getting Together, Fluff) this fic taught me a lot abt quilting !!

KILF (Knits I'd Like To Fuck in) by ScarlettStorm (E, 168k, wangxian, modern, sex work, fiber arts, 2nd in series) taught a lot about knitting along with giving me a bit of an interest in it

Into the Depths by elytchaeke (T, 47k, WangXian, Modern AU, Cave Diving, Slow Burn, not that slow, Speluncaphobia, Claustrophobia, Descriptions of Corpses, Drowning, Minor Character Death, Minor Violence, Sharing Body Heat, The Inherent Eroticism of Wordless Communication, Corpse Handling) It taught me a lot about cave diving, specifically safety practices, exploration regulations, and (somewhat morbidly) the process for retrieving the body of anyone who attempted a dive and didn't make it back. The au is fun, putting wangxian into this specific field together

15. Hi! ITMF soulmate aus? Not in the cultivation/zhiji sense, but in the fandom sense. Think red thread of fate, a clock counting down, not seeing color until you see them, leaving a colorful mark on first touch, having their words written on you, etc. I have perused the compilation list but I want more more more! Wangxian, Chengxian, Xichen/Mingjue, Mingjue/Wuxian, really anyone/anyone, canon or modern, angsty or fluffy, all is good! I am just really craving soulmate stuff right now. Thank you!!

Much shorter fan fiction

I really enjoy multi-chapter fan fiction for Módào Zǔshī. And yet, there are a large number (over 47,000) of works that are 10K words or less, many of them single chapters.

Of the over 10,000 works that are 1k words or less, here are a few I've sampled in the recent (and not so recent) past.

Wei Ying and the Temple of Hidden Light by snakelesbians

6K words (complete)

This is a quick romp in the tomb raider genre.

"This is barely any different from the Tombs we’ve visited and recovered from in the past. Just this time we’re less likely to encounter any Shibie or Zombies …"

There is very nice art of who Wei Ying does encounter …

Playing Possum by DizziDreams

1.5K words (complete)

This is a short modern AU with Wei Ying as a shape shifter.

"Right now I’m me. Normal me. HUMAN me. But full moons, you know?"

to be reminded why the Yiling Laozu was feared by sparklingsu

1K words (complete)

The Yiling Patriarch is not pleased when Lan Zhan is kidnapped. Neither are the kidnappers.

It's that time. Again. by dal_and_sen_of_s

156 words

OK, so even I dabble in the genre.
