Summary: Recently retired police officer, John Watson, stumbles upon an odd man named Sherlock Holmes when traveling by train on his way home. He concludes the detective is insane after having only one conversation with him, but can't help but be intrigued. Ignoring John's hesitance, Sherlock brings him along on an exciting case. Through this adventure, Sherlock doesn't bother to hide his palpable obsession with John while John tries to hide his growing feelings. What will happen when they both break, following their desires?

More Wangxian Faves: Post-Canon & Canon Divergent

This list was made to honor the request in the notes on my WWX recs post from @100percentserenity for some more fics featuring Wei Ying set in canon or canon divergent fics. Now, not all of these are strictly from his POV, but they all feature him at his quick-witted, charming, & hopelessly oblivious best. Canon divergent can be a pretty wide category, so do keep that in mind if you see a rec & think, "This isn't very canonical.." Haha. There are two repeats from my first Wangxian rec list, but they fit the ask & are both excellent & worth mentioning twice! Now, in no particular order, may I recommend:

Far Away You Are by cqlorphan (E, 17,358)

Thoughts: I absolutely loved the idea of the esteemed Hanguan-jun being this not-so-secret purveyor of comfort hugs & heartache advice. Wei Ying’s shock upon finding this out was so funny I couldn’t help but laugh, & my amusement only intensified when he made the scary Yiling Laozu face while asking who broke Lan Zhan’s heart, only to be told it was him who’d done so. I wanted to hug all the Juniors myself. They’re all so very precious. This was a lovely story where very little hurt in the end, & sometimes that’s just nice after the gut punch that canon gives us.

my age has never made me wise by idrilka (E, 63,439)

Thoughts: I absolutely loved this. It was pretty CQL (The Untamed) compliant & told the post-canon story of Wei Ying wandering alone as a rogue cultivator after the events of the show. Of course he was pining after his zhiji the entire time, so when he heard gossip that the Chief Cultivator might be married by summer's end it nearly undid him. The angst was excruciating, but One Brain Cell WWX Strikes Again fics somehow always manage to be fun at the same time. I've read several post-canon, wandering Wei Ying stories, & this one was particularly good.

Not What We May Be by brooklinegirl (E, 29,222)

Thoughts: I love Wei Ying’s cleverness in this. He’s his usual irreverent, chaotic, charming self, & I never get tired of how wonderfully his mind works. The odd phenomenon occurring in the town he’s staying in was an interesting mystery to solve, & I had to laugh when Lan Zhan arrived with the usual Lan Juniors ensemble in tow. Watching them all work together to figure out how to fix the issue while also dealing with the healthy side helping of oblivious Wei Ying & searing sexual tension between him & Lan Zhan was a fun treat.

All Caught Up by brooklinegirl (E, 36,934)

Thoughts: Wei Ying proposing to Lan Zhan to get him out of an arranged marriage he didn’t want is so something he’d do. There is no character more quintessentially chaotic good than Wei Ying. You can’t change my mind. The practice kissing was a lovely regular feature from this author, & my particular favorite thing in this fic was Nie Huaisang’s cameo as their pseudo wedding planner with his classic meddling while insisting he’s useless shenanigans. This was super cute. I liked it a lot.

love, in fire and blood by cicer (E, 360,042)

Thoughts: This was an example of a cool MDZS-specific trope I hadn't seen before, & in it Wei Ying, the infamous Yiling Patriarch, was a cultivator who had achieved immortality (aka, he's OP as fuck but in a fun way). The great sects enlisted his help to win the Sunshot Campaign, & what did he demand in return? Lan Zhan's hand in marriage, of course! It was a fantastic slow burn in which poor Lan Zhan suffered the mortifying ordeal of falling in love with his own husband. An amazing & complex plot, chock-full of angsty goodness.

Birthday Party by waffles_4_breakfast (E, 100,123)

Thoughts: I loved the idea that Wei Ying would actually get to attend Jin Ling's one month celebration, but I was, of course, still concerned about the continued danger he'd be in. This fic nicely showcased Wei Ying's sharp wit, charm, & ever-present sass. I also loved his dramatics when it came to his interactions with Lan Zhan (and in general, of course, haha), but their sweetness together was ultimately my favorite thing about them. The continued threat to Wei Ying's life & all the plotting surrounding it was interesting, but the best things about this fic were the characters & their bonds with each other.

Fentao-laoshi's Guide to Cut-Sleeve Pleasures by occultings (E, 31,775)

Thoughts: This was set during the Cloud Recesses Study Arc, & it was so, so good. The sexual tension between them was just simmering the entire time, & the idea of them “practicing for marriage” on each other was fucking hilarious. Their banter was top notch, & I absolutely loved Lan Zhan’s nearly overwhelming desperation for Wei Ying, not to mention Wei Ying’s bullshit getting him in over his head (as usual, but this time in a fun way, haha). The feelings were actually very sweet, too. I enjoyed this a lot.

wide enough and wild by impossibletruths (E, 64,120)

Thoughts: I love the tag “Noping Out Of Society With Your Boyfriend And Your 50 Wen Refugees: The Novel”. It made me laugh before I’d even started the fic. While this was set during the time period in which Wei Ying frees the Wen refugees, they didn’t end up in Yiling this time. I won’t get too specific, but they still ended up rebuilding their own little settlement & farming to survive, basically. Lan Zhan found them & decided to stay. The slow burn was so good, & I loved the pining in particular. I cried a couple of times in this. It really was just that good.

your problem as a mountain. by cupofwater (E, 30,989)

Thoughts: It was so cute to see the difference between Wei Ying’s & Nie Huaisang’s fantasies, & Wei Ying’s turning out to be more vanilla & romantic in nature absolutely cracked me up. I nearly hurt myself laughing when Nie Mingjue sent Lan Zhan some of the letters by mistake, & I was delighted by Lan Zhan’s reaction. I won’t spoil it, but the smut was lovely & despite the misunderstanding our boys definitely both got their happy ending, haha.

The Vermilion Ribbon by Unforth (E, 233,368)

Thoughts: This sat on my Marked For Later list on AO3 for the longest time, & I really did myself a disservice by not reading it sooner. It was absolutely fantastic. The world-building, pacing, & intricate plot were all brilliantly done, & Wei Ying being in the Wen clan was nothing like I imagined it was going to be in this. Instead of his core family being the Jiangs, we get Wen Qing in Jiang Yanli’s role & Wen Ning in Jiang Cheng’s. Now I’ll warn you that this got super heavy in some places, so mind those tags & take care of yourselves. Nothing was graphic enough that I had to stop reading, but it didn’t shy away from the serious subject matter it covered either. The whole fic was a real emotional roller coaster, & I can’t recommend it highly enough.

[rejectedfables]

read an excellent 2ha fic ("Cursed" by devilsoupe) wherein Chu Wanning gets hit by a fuck-or-die curse, and tries valiantly to choose "or die" because he doesn't want to make Mo Ran uncomfortable. Nothing could be more in character.

Monday Fic Recs

Bai Yutong/Zhan Yao (SCI Mystery)

Knowing Only This by Catmouse

Bai Yutong is handling it.

Ever since he was fifteen years old and realized that the horrible, sickening, aching feeling he got in his chest whenever he looked at his best friend wasn't a sign of early heart failure but instead a warning of something much worse, he's been handling it perfectly fine. With full maturity and dignity.

He's the head of SCI. He's the best cop of his generation. He's the pinnacle of self-control and an expert at compartmentalization.

But sometimes—Sometimes Zhan Yao doesn't make it easy.

In fact, it's times like these he's convinced Zhan Yao is determined to make his life as difficult as humanly possible.

I loved this so much. It reminded me of exactly why I love this drama and these characters. So much pining and yearning.

Wang Pangzi/Wu Xie/Zhang Qiling (DMBJ)

The consequences of a ghostly encounter by bimingjue

Still uncertain whether or not the female ghost Pangzi saw really is an evil entity who is looking for his master, Pangzi jokingly asks Xiaoge if they can share a bed tonight for safety. What happens that evening is something he didn't even dare to imagine happening in his wildest dreams.

This so cute and sweet

[darkwater-fic-recs]

(Completed oneshot, part 1 of an ongoing trilogy)

[nacrelysis]

grasshoppers if you're looking for an svsss fic that has identity problems, heaps of angst, break-up + make-up, absolutely terrible executions of communication, pushy yet well-meaning aunties, sassy children, and dramatic irony that is neither shocking nor immediate but urgent in the way it slowly, slowly builds with the audience's tension -

lost and found in limitless clarity, by TGP.

you will be biting your nails with every update. you will be cheering shang qinghua on. you may want to shake luo binghe viciously and rapidly and with great intent.

come suffer with me.

[rach-amber]

So due to my AmberPrice hyperfixation acting up again & the lack of new content I clicked open the EARLIEST AP fanfic on AO3 --- She was My Angel

It was posted on Feb 2015. That's right, Before the Storm wasn't even written & decided yet. The original Life is Strange wasn't even fully released yet!!

So how well did they write Amberprice?

My comment went like this. And they replied after 9 years!!

Hella amazing. Her Rachel is so much better than a some of the Rachels even after BTS had came out. I'd say it's even a good AU Rachel on par with the BTS game Rach.

I also read another early 2015 AP, was pretty good until drunk Chloe shot Rachel and killed her ☠️ based on a fan theory.

This would've been a Hella plot twist in the original... Amberprice could've been forever changed.

“人生若只如初见” -- "If only life was like that first meeting"

“一千个人眼中有一千个哈姆雷特” -- "There're a thousand Hamlets in a thousands' eyes"

I have a semi translated Chinese AP ficlet somewhere and one day hopefully I'll finish that. AP really inspires me to create but I'm just too occupied at the moment to take more steps.

One day.

Chu Wanning is a professional. He abides by the strictest standards of etiquette; his conduct is, at all times, beyond reproach.

This gets a little harder to maintain after he stumbles upon Mo Ran's side job as a cam boy.

[beltransadie]

A long time before Mo Ran found his way to Chu Wanning, Xun Fengruo found her path to Duan Yihan. If only their paths didn’t diverge.

Violets on the Breeze is now out on AO3! Read it here

🌹10k | Rated M | 2HA fic 🌹Art by yours truly, in collaboration with junemys27 🌹Pairing: Duanxun (Duan Yihan / Xun Fengruo) 🌹⚠ Book 3 spoilers!!! Also, see tags. ⚠ 🌹Written for Erha Reverse Bang (@2ha-events)

Context:

This is a retelling of chapters 257-259 in Xun Fengruo's perspective. As for their identity, they are closely related to Mo Ran's childhood which gets delved on in those chapters.

Due to some unfortunate and fortunate turn of events involving a programming homework and some venting, I met moons/junemys27 on Erha Reverse Bangand collabed to produce (dare I say) the first Duan Yihan/Xun Fengruo fanfic on Ao3.

Izzy Apologists and Enjoyers, I have a request!

I've got a craving for a very specific brand of Izzy fic, and I'm looking for some recommendations.

I know we're all a fan of Izzy sticking around and suffering on the Revenge [with or without some eventual Steddyhands and character growth], and his undying devotion of Ed, but I was wondering if anyone knew of any fics that explored his justified anger or bitterness? Like, Ed trying to apologize for...all that...and Izzy having a "I yelled at you, sure, but you MAIMED ME" reaction.

Or fics exploring Izzy just...exiting stage left and growing/healing with a different cast of found family?

Can be any sort of AU or canon-verse, I'm not picky.

[[There's also a spicy idea that I would love to see where E/d and S/tede try and bring Izzy in on their relationship by doing some unhinged shit and instead of working it just scares Izzy off ex. under-negotiated threesome or kink shenanigans and the fallout of that]]

Does any of that sound familiar? Hit me up with your favourites!

Thanks! :)

fic rec time - i've reread twice just this week. if you're a fan of weilan derivatives and/or either of these two, and Especially if you loved 人生大事、 you gotta read this. it's so good, i promise

second grace

(28015 words) by lunarriviera

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: 人生大事 | Lighting Up the Stars (2022), 开始推理吧 | The Truth (TV 2022) Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Mo Sanmei/Bai Sanwan, Mo Sanmei & Wu Xiaowen Characters: Mo Sanmei, Bai Sanwan, Wu Xiaowen, Wang Jianren, Liu Xailai Additional Tags: Post-Canon, Kid Fic, Wuhan - Freeform, Found Family, noodle stalls, Funeral Parlors, mo sanmei's canonical impulsiveness, Men Crying, Absent Parents, bai sanwan's sketchy past, wu xiaowen speaks only truth, listen to her san-ge, zylby48 Summary:

Mo Sanmei scrubs at his head out of habit, but his hair’s grown out now, uneven and falling into his eyes, and it feels unexpectedly soft to the touch. Xiaowen’s left alone too often, he thinks, but he can’t do much about it, and anyway she’s always been fiercely self-sufficient. He should get married, probably. It would be more decent for Xiaowen to have a woman in the house—a real mother, since Wu Haifei left. He thinks about women he knows, but none of them seem right.

In which San-ge, already grateful for the miracle of Wu Xiaowen, stumbles onto another in the shape of local noodle-stall owner Bai Sanwan. And it's just as hard for him to accept this one, at first, until he lets Xiao Bai into his life.

[fossore]

Abysmal pic of a lovely day, but I’m so, so thankful to @darkmagyk and @phykios for their lovely fic If I Were A Blackbird which got me back to sailing after about a decade. It also has just about every trope which I adore in a fic.

[blackwell-academys-airdrop]

okay NOW I've got to finish reading Purity through a Prism
