Summary: The condition is that they can’t use their cultivation since the ghost was a non-cultivator and wants a normal sword duel. This was all fine and well until they realized that none of them could win against him, lasting no more than few blows before having their swords and dignity flung out of their hands. “It’d be easier to just eliminate him,” Lan Jingyi mutters. “Otherwise we’ll be here forever.” “Jingyi,” Lan Sizhui scolds. Lan Jingyi is right, of course, but the whole point of elimination is that it’s the absolute last resort. Although it’s not within their own ability to liberate this ghost, there’s… Lan Sizhui glances at Wei Wuxian, standing idly by while he picks at under his fingernails. - A glimpse of Wei Wuxian and the Gusu Lan disciples on a night-hunt. Kay's comments: Short and sweet, the juniors are getting a glimpse at Wei Wuxian's amazing swordfighting-skills and of course, Wangxian are working dilligently towards Wei Wuxian growing a new golden core. Excerpt: Finally, Lan Jingyi’s voice projects over all of them, asking the one big question on their combined minds. “Why did you ever stop using your sword?” he questions. “Demonic cultivation might be useful and convenient, but—but you’re so good! You’re obviously skilled with the sword! Not cultivating with it is such a waste!” Wei Wuxian raises his eyebrows. He opens his mouth, and everyone quietens to hear his response better. What was the real reason for Wei Wuxian to abandon the way of the sword and start the era of Yiling Laozu’s demonic cultivation when he was already so powerful? “I,” Wei Wuxian answers, “hate sweating.”

i’m pretty sure this was done on the tlt subreddit once before but i haven’t seen it here and i’m curious to know tumblr’s opinions on the topic! personally i like the second two much more than the first—gtn didn’t really grab me that much and i wouldn’t have even called myself part of the fandom until i decided i might as well give htn a go and immediately got sucked in—but i’m guessing that most people’s experience is different, since the first book seems like the most popular based on the impressions i’ve gotten. also feel free to put in tags where you’d rank the short stories (as yet unsent and doctor sex) relative to the books! i would have stuck those in the poll too but there are. 120 different ways to order 5 unique objects

help this fic is already 1600 words and they're not even [redacted] yet hshsjhjkdkghk. Like they're not even doing the classic messed up pre-[redacted] activity that always happens in my todolf fics. there's 5 pages of outline left to write out and like that's the outline...............................

[windwardstar]

you know it might just be that my tendency to overwrite might have something to do with the fact my chapters end up being 15k even after undergoing mitosis

[captainofthestrangestship]

Anyway here are some long (15k+) Spones Recs

AOS Spones

Ever wanted AOS Academy Era Spones???

I don't know how to talk about this one without spoiling it, but if you haven't read it, you should.

Ever wanted AOS Spones shaving??? Here you go. (Slight AU where Bones doesn't know Jim before joining the crew.)

Want a super long fic that deals with the fallout of Beyond?

Another Post-Beyond fic where Spock learns that his alternate self was in a relationship with the other McCoy.

TOS Spones

Do you love a marriage of convenience where they are totally in love with each other but are too scared to admit it??? Want to see Bones live on Vulcan?? Even have a T'Pol cameo??? Well this is the story for you.

Do you like hijinks??? Transporter accidents??? Enjoy McCoy having to look after the crew???

WIP word game: wrist(s)

I fought Google Docs for this and won

Tkachuk holds out his arms, bare wrists up, pale skin on display in an ancient form that Leon hasn’t seen beyond pictures. Okay, perhaps it isn’t ancient, but it is not the done thing and hasn’t been in a long time - so it’s odd for someone as young as Tkachuk to do it. 

Not that the sight of those vulnerable wrists, paler than the rest of Tkachuk’s skin, doesn’t awaken something in Leon. He is being given something precious, something that isn’t easy for Tkachuk to give up. Something not without risks for Tkachuk, and… It’s like Leon’s dog baring his belly to Leon, trusting him to take care of Bowie’s needs. 

“Is this how you want it?” Leon has to make sure. 

It earns him an eye roll. “I’ll tell you if I don’t. Can you just… Oh.”

i'm so stupid on the end of you're okay I thought it was a heart and a baguette emoji and I was so confused but also I love baguettes and I trust rid so let's trust the process, I just zoomed in and it's PLASTER BECAUSE IT'S COMFORT SO LIKE HEALING WOUNDS OR WHATEVER but also a baguette would heal my wounds so I'm not entirely wrong

also everyone who keeps not voting for the yoongi comfort step outside I just wanna talk

LMFAOOO it's like!! a bandage around a heart, so a healing heart, yes.. and that's what this oneshot's gonna be about. pain and love and healing for my sad girlies ❤️‍🩹 you're right tho, a baguette works just as well :')

[moinsbienquekaworu]

I think next time I'm in a chatty mood I'll just go comment on fics I liked. I feel like I'm Doing Something leaving comments on years-old fics with small audiences and it's fun!

[rise-my-angel]

New chapter is over 5k so far and its literally still just one long scene that has no end in sight. Why do I love writing detailed visuals and introspection? Why are my scenes for the reader and Jon, who are the more quiet characters, always the goddamn longest?

Summary: Cloud Recesses had never truly felt like home to him; Lan Yuan's home was wherever Hanguang-Jun was and sadly, Cloud Recesses was not Hanguang-Jun's home either. Kay's comments: I may be biased, because this work was written for me and is a remix of my own story Justice, but, I really enjoyed this one! This is based on the idea that Lan Wangji was supossed to die from his punishment, but lived, and now the Lan Sect has to deal with it and it makes them bitter and also showcases their own hypocrizy. This story is from Sizhui's POV and tells the story of how he grew up in the Lan Sect and how he realized that something was very off, but the puzzle pieces only started connecting when Mo Xuanyu turned up. I loved this focus on Sizhui and the general vibes, it's really sad with a happy ending done right. Excerpt: Out of all of them, Zewu-Jun was the strangest. From the stories he had heard, the Twin Jades of Lan had once been inseparable, two identical drops of water, yet Sizhui had never seen them interact any more intimately than he would do with any of his peers. It was like there was a barrier between them, not allowing them to act like the brothers they were supposed to be. Zewu-Jun questioned Mo Xuanyu’s presence in the Cloud Recesses the hardest yet he had not openly opposed it. The Lan Seniors had all been too eager to let Hanguang-Jun take care of the demonic arm case, taking Mo Xuanyu with him if that meant not having any of them anywhere near Gusu for the time it took to figure out the whole demonic arm ordeal. As Hanguang-Jun wasn’t present in the Cloud Recesses, the whispers became normal conversation instead. Rumours of the return of the Yiling Laozu arose; someone had controlled the Ghost General that day with the Dancing Goddess, and someone had used the Yin Tiger Tally on the demonic arm somehow. As Hanguang-Jun left, Lan Sizhui could experience for the first time just how deep the whole thing really went. Voices and pointing fingers became the norm. Hanguang-Jun should have died, they said.
