#wip being wangji in progress of COURSE!

[boarloved-art]

happy hanguangjun day (aka everyday!) isnt it fucked up that chord assassination was never mentioned ever again?

[youhideastar]

For the WIP ask game: definitely either bedservant wwx or wwx Doesn't Fuck pretty please! They're all so intriguing...

Aww, thank you! I already talked a little about Wei Ying DOESN'T FUCK here, so let's chat about Bedservant Wei Ying. (This is in reference to this WIP title ask game post.)

In this fic, Jin Zixun has progressed from pressuring LWJ to drink to pressuring LWJ to accept other "vices": specifically, a courtesan's contract. LWJ shocks everyone by actually accepting; he just wants to get this person away from the predatory Jins, so he gives no forethought at all to what WWX is supposed to do once LWJ releases him from his contract. Fortunately, WWX is a very smart cookie in all universes, is utterly smitten with this gorgeous, bitchy, repressed war hero, and his training has prepared him to be the best damn secretary/valet/assistant a sect leader's heir could ever have. The role of the villain is played partly by Jin Zixun, but mostly by the sex work stigma that's so pervasive in canon it might as well be a named character.

Because they meet when they're older and more self-aware, WWX and LWJ don't have to make each other so mad and stew in their own juices in this fic - LWJ pretty much immediately recognizes how great and special WWX is and vice versa. They are thoroughly delighted by each other throughout, and it's such a pleasure to write. An example is the below snippet, which also contains my favorite line in the whole fic - I bet you'll know which one it is. 😉

[For context, LWJ and WWX have been waging a good-natured multi-night cold war about which one of them will sleep in the bed and which one will sleep on the floor in LWJ's guest room at Jinlintai.]

Lan Wangji emerges from behind the screen and goes to claim the quilt for his night’s rest, whereupon… he finds it missing.

It is not on the floor; neither is it on the bed.

Hm.

“Wei Ying. Where is the quilt?”

“Oh, it’s being laundered,” Wei Ying says, airily.

Lan Wangji’s eyes narrow. “And when will it return from the laundry?”

“I’m sure I couldn’t say, but… certainly not before haishi.”

Lan Wangji glares.

Sugar-sweet, Wei Ying says, “I told Er-gege that I’d be spending all day studying the principles.”

Regrettably, the Chapter of Conduct includes many references to the importance of retiring for the night no later than haishi.

“Then Wangji will not sleep,” Lan Wangji counters. “I do not need sleep – meditation will provide adequate rest.”

“Ah, but A-Ying assures Er-gege: he’s spent many sleepless nights as well.” Wei Ying winks. “And anyway, the rules don’t say meditate by haishi, they say sleep.”

Lan Wangji is being rules-lawyered by his own accidentally acquired courtesan. He’s miffed and also, for some reason, deeply enjoying it.

“Do not be stubborn,” Wei Ying quotes, to Lan Wangji’s shock. “Do not cling to lost battles for the sake of pride.”

Apparently Wei Ying not only read the Chapter of Conduct – he memorized it. Memorized it closely enough that he can pull out applicable items spontaneously. In the course of one day.

In the face of such diligence, Lan Wangji can only gracefully concede defeat. He lies on his back on the bed, dropping off to sleep just as the door opens—presumably for delivery of the suspiciously late-laundered quilt.

Alright, my darlings.  It’s a New Year, woo hoo!  Let’s begin it by finding some poor readers those stories that have been niggling at the backs of their brains.

~*~

1.   Hello, i hope you can help me find a fic? If i remember correctly, I think it’s about assassination and royalty in which wwx is assigned to assassinate the emperor lwj but he doesn’t know what he looks like. This is all I remember from the premise ive read before but i hope this still helps? Thank you in advance

FOUND?  Just looking through wangxian with keywords assassin* and royal* I got  para bellum by roselaide (T, 2k, wangxian).

~*~

2.   Hey!! After watching the fic finder go by, I was wondering if you could point me to a fic where wwx had cultivated to the step before immortality with resentful energy before he died, and everyone else was big mad about it. I read it once and have lost it in my history.

FOUND!  by @supernova2395, who says it’s If One for you, then One for us by KusakabeNAyako (T, 85k, wangxian WIP)

~*~

3.   Hey! If you don't mind me asking, do you perhaps remember a jingyi centric angst fic? I think ljy fought with someone for a good reason but nobody listened to him and maybe lan qiren threatened to remove him from the sect? Anyways he basically shuts down and gets really depressed until he gets sick (it was something with his core).

FOUND!  I love this one so much, it’s so deliciously angsty - my poor bby Jingyi!  You are looking for ❤️ Beautiful Day by feelin_the_aster (I’d rate it G, 10k, zhuiyi, wangxian, WIP)

~*~

4.   Hello do you know any fic in think some guy makes a pass at Wwx like a sect leader or some disciple and lwj gets really pissed off♥️♥️

FOUND?  I just read this series and Parts 4 & 5 deal with WWX being hit on and assaulted, but mostly it’s about LWJ being hit on?  LWJ is incandescent with rage, of course, but it might be more serious than what you’re looking for.   Resolutions by incendir (E, 204k, wangxian, series in progress, my (spoilery) bookmark here)

~*~

5.  Not sure if this is the right place to ask for help finding a fanfic but I’m desperate. I read this fanfic a year ago and I don’t remember if it was an yizhan or a wangxian fanfic or not. I just remember that Lan zhan meets Wei ying at the super market with little A-yuan after a long time. Basically lan zhan misunderstands that wei ying is married and has a wife. He gets all jealous over it. Also wei ying is a architecture/ interior designer and offers to style Lan zhan’s apartment. Help plz...  -- @starrie88

FOUND? estuaries by vesna (mrsronweasley) (E, 34k, wangxian, modern, break up/make up, pining while fucking, single dad, angst w/ happy ending)  There’s definitely Lan Zhan meeting Wei Ying with A-Yuan in a  supermarket and mistaking Wei Ying for being married and A-Yuan being  biologically his, but there’s no mention of WWX’s job that I can find on  a skim-read so the architecture thing seems to be missing.  

~*~

6.   Sorry to bother you but would it be alright if you helped me find a fanfic? It’s about future wangxian and the crew time traveling to the past. The past wangxian are still teens and they thrown into the future but there’s not much about them. Basically, LQR finds out Sizhui is LWJ’s son and asks who his mom is. Wangxian and the crew traveled back during a sect meeting where everyone was present. Jiang Cheng meets his future nephew and Jin ling meets his mom. Please help me find it if you can.

FOUND! by @theladypeartree​.   Liars, Corpses, & Runaways by ailuridae (abigailnicole) (T, 19k, wangxian, WIP).  The author’s note makes this look discontinued, but listen, they’ve written two other stories that I love, so I bet it’s worth a read.  The A/N says it’s a non-frustrating place to end the story.

9.   hi I lost a fic and i wonder if you can help me! it was a cloud recesses fic, where lwj took lxc's advice so wwx would stop bothering him; it was basically "do what he wants and he'll go away" and afterward lwj was like "it worked now how do i get him to pay attention to me again". i also remember a scene where lwj said smth like "wy doesn't want to kiss me?" and wwx said "i don't not want to kiss you?" and jc was lamenting that he made it worse, and wwx started avoiding lwj bc he got flustered [Grrr, I know this one, but I can’t find it!]

Down in the Yi City Pit: A Recs Post

So as anyone following me may have noticed, I’ve been spiraling ever deeper into a pit called Yi City Feelings. I’m down at the bottom and I’m still digging. This also means I’ve been doing a lot of fic reading, and I figure it’s about time that I wrote a recs list, since I said I’d do it and some people expressed interest.

Heads up that I am a dirty Xue Yang stan first and foremost, so this list is going to skew in, uh, that direction. Just so we’re all aware.

Divided these into canonverse recs and modern au recs, since apparently this is the only thing I’ll read modern aus for! It’s a brave new world out here. 

Also like. blanket warnings across the board here for The Inherent Dubiousness of Xue Yang/Xiao Xingchen as a Pairing, Generally. I’ll offer more specific/major ones as they’re relevant/I remember, but please check the tags/authors notes as well.

CANONVERSE

lover to your nightmare by Zaatar (@ameliarating) . Xue Yang uses Xiao Xingchen getting sick as an opportunity to fuck around a little. Second person POV sickfic, except XueXiao flavored sickfic which means it’s messy and full of good things like “delirium” and “people taking advantage of other peoples’ confusion and disorientation to mess with them psychologically.” This fic also does the thing I love really well where Xue Yang’s internal monologue/self-justification is full of indications that he’s having Feelings that he neither recognizes nor acknowledges. Crunchy, delicious.

Samsara / 輪迴 by ForgivenMemes. Upsetting fic full of every content warning ever alert! (Off the top of my head: violence, rape, suicide, self-harm.) I keep going back to this fic and rereading it because it hurts so bad and I love it, because it hurts in the best worst self-sabotage recapitulating-mistakes-over-and-over way. Like, I am a sucker for a time loop fic always, and usually I read them as a route to fixing things - but honestly I’ve always loved the part of time loop fics that’s “everything getting worse first.” And this is a whole fic of “everything getting worse.” Aka, the one where Xue Yang has thousands of chances to get it right, but there’s no getting it right.

compromise by Sectionladvivi. Xiao Xingchen convinces Song Lan and Xue Yang to kiss. (aka, obviously Yi City AU where Song Lan gets folded into things, Xiao Xingchen still doesn’t know about Xue Yang being Xue Yang, and an uneasy detente where the two of them don’t touch each other gets interrupted by Xiao Xingchen Wanting Things, which is, of course, a priority always). 

til dawn by Sectionladvivi. Xue Yang takes care of Xiao Xingchen’s body after his death, and mind the tags. This is that perfect Yi City level of “horrifying and also very sad, I feel bad for my boy but also he is sort of defiling a corpse (though it is just kissing).” This might not sound like a recommendation but it is absolutely a recommendation.

Our Antebellum Innocence by spockandawe (@spockandawe). First time XueXiao. Xue Yang lays the groundwork for his first time with Xiao Xingchen with meticulous care.  This author always delivers, both in terms of excellent porn and in terms of characterization, and this is no exception. 

life’s illusions I recall by Sour_Idealist (@souridealist). The basics of this fic is just “outdoor sex at a river” and it is delicious for that, but what I love about it in particular is this author’s Xue Yang voice. It’s always good (they are the genius behind the incredible Jiang Yanli/Xue Yang fic - no, really), and this is a fic I come back to a lot for that reason. I also love the tag “two characters experiencing two very different fics” which feels like a very apt description for the XueXiao dynamic, generally speaking.

Selenographia by lightningwaltz. A lovely, short-ish fic about the Yi City years. I don’t feel like I have a good description for this one - it’s just one of those beautiful character/moment portrait pieces, very well done.

Stories from A Lonely City by blackwatervial. A series of snapshots/vignettes from the three years in Yi City. Sweetness, bittersweetness, and of course, ultimately, a sad end. This was one of the first Yi City fics I read.

yi city depression hours by glueskin (series). Just. You know. Some feelings. There’s two fics in this one, both short character study type fics making me feel feelings.

a bird caught in this winter blizzard by cherriru. I do love a good grief/mourning fic, especially featuring someone realizing slowly the sheer miserable depths of their fuck-up. Aka, Xue Yang after Xiao Xingchen’s death. It’s just sad. 

all I ever knew of love by Sour_Idealist (@souridealist). See what I said above about the Xue Yang voice and this author; this one also featuring blistering hot porn (first time), a little light praise kink, and huddling for warmth as an excuse for sex. It’s a perfect blend of filth and tenderness and I love it.

revelations wallet wood burn art by Sectionladvivi. This one describes itself in the summary as “grim pwp” and yeah, that fits (and also! is such a XueXiao vibe, whoop whoop); it’s based off the simple premise of ‘Xue Yang tells Xiao Xingchen who he is, in the middle of sex.’ Honestly, one of my favorite things about this fic is the ending, which is horrifying in the best possible way.

Your Heart Inside My Hands by williamshooketh (@ectoplasm-james). This fic is fabulously made for me in the specific subgenre of “Xue Yang thinks he knows what he is getting into when having sex with Xiao Xingchen and, it turns out, does not.” This one featuring some of my favorite things including praise kink and Xue Yang getting extremely fucked up by someone being very nice to him.

Sleep Until the Sun Goes Down by spockandawe (@spockandawe). Love me some Xiao Xingchen seducing Xue Yang with candy. First time fic, second person POV, absolutely delightful.

pass the time by short_tandem_repeats (@yiling). A-Qing and Xue Yang bonding hours. I am actually such a sucker for their weird relationship (I don’t poke at it enough in my own stuff, should work on that) and the way they recognize each other in ways that Xiao Xingchen doesn’t, and also a-Qing having to reckon with the ways in which she’s more like Xue Yang than like Xiao Xingchen. Just a very good fic with a delightful a-Qing.

Three Springs by Verbana. Just a really excellent Xiao Xingchen POV of the three years in Yi City and a developing relationship between Xiao Xingchen and Xue Yang. Beautifully written, a lovely escalation, and I’m absolutely delighted by the gentle loneliness of the Xiao Xingchen POV here.

Red Azalea by CeNedraRiva (@cenedrariva) (WIP). A longfic in progress following the continuing adventures of the Yi City Crew after Xiao Xingchen survives his suicide attempt and Xue Yang reconsiders some life choices. Recently got tag-updated to SongXueXiao which has me absolutely thrilled. Updates every Wednesday.

ephemeral by im_krying (WIP). Xue Yang, traveling around wearing Xiao Xingchen’s face, decides it is time to go looking for the last remaining part of Xiao Xingchen that he doesn’t already possess. That is to say, the eyes in Song Lan’s head. I’m really curious where this is going - it smells up my alley at this point though it’s been a bit since the last update. 

Heaven Has a Road But No One Walks It by Silvestris (@silvysartfulness) (WIP). Things I love: beating on Xue Yang, SongXueXiao, terrible road trips, fix-its where there’s a lot of suffering involved. Things this fic has: all of the above. I’m in love.

MODERN AU

(There are other recs to this one but for various reasons (pwp reasons) triggered my self-consciousness slightly too much to put on this post. Go check my bookmarks, you’ll find stuff there.

Most of these are PWP to greater or lesser extents (Rewritten and Misalignment are, I’d say, the exceptions); all very hot and fantastically written.)

circling like vultures by brawlite (@brawlite) (series). Truly quality porn, featuring mostly Xue Yang/Song Lan both pining for Xiao Xingchen, which is a thing that it turns out I really like. The sex is rough and mean and I’m really into it. (Okay, mostly the sex in the first one is mean, the second one is actually XueYao, and the third one is actually verging on nice. Wow! Growth. Anyway, it’s all very good and very My Scene.

Rewritten by incendir (series). This series is like. Everything I want from a modern AU and that was true even before the most recent fic gifted me a beat up Xue Yang suffering, so you know. I don’t have a good summary for this series other than that it’s basically a married Song Lan and Xiao Xingchen adopting Xue Yang as a third partner and it’s just. So well done, such good writing, such good characterization, I would read 20,000 more words of this and probably still be hungry.

catalyst by Ajaxthegreat. If there is a porny fic I’ve reread more than this one, I’m not sure what it would be. I’ve reread this one a lot. It’s very good. It’s very hot. I’m trying not to be self-conscious. SongXueXiao first time rough sex and boy is it tasty.

biting the bullet by Sectionladvivi. Xiao Xingchen doesn’t want to have to choose between his two boyfriends and so he doesn’t. Sectionladvivi in general writes some very sexy modern au PWP (including a few different Xue Yang/Lan Wangji fics which...didn’t see that one coming! But it works when they do it), so general rec for author but this one (as, you know, SongXueXiao porn), is one of my favorites, probably. 

sxx configurations by rynleaf (series). This is a SongXueXiao series on AO3 based off of @kevinkevinson‘s modern reincarnation AU and I am in love with both the art for that AU (go look!) and these fics, they’re so good, I’ve reread several times. 

Misalignment by Kasasagi (WIP). The one with a reincarnated Xue Yang and a Xiao Xingchen who arrives in the modern world from the past, fresh off his suicide.

And Once Again, if I’m Allowed to Rec My Own Fic

a kindness you can’t afford. Early days in Yi City after Xue Yang wakes up.

lick your exit wounds. I wanted canonverse-era bottom Xue Yang praise kink, so I wrote it for myself in the hopes others would also find this an interesting prospect.

this place could be beautiful. Xue Yang vs. domestic living.

tear out all your tenderness. Xue Yang gets turned on by murder and makes it a project to get Xiao Xingchen to lose control.

the beauty of your repair. PWP, modern AU SongXueXiao; there’s not an inkling of plot here, it’s really just an excuse to get Xue Yang wrecked, but nicely.

tagged by @why-this-kolaveri-machi in this one - thanks! nice and short and since my brain is struggling to focus on anything why not

AO3 Name: Lise

Fandoms: I have cruised through many fandoms over the years and am probably more properly multifandom now than I’ve been in a long time. I think the MCU remains far and away the thing I’ve written the most fic for, though now I’m sticking my legs in The Untamed and I’ve written a lot for a few other fandoms (notably Supernatural, Wheel of Time, Black Jewels Trilogy, Doctrine of Labyrinths, A Song of Ice and Fire, and The Silmarillion).

Fic you spent the most time on: If we count Remember This Cold as a single fic (I don’t, really) I’m closing in on eight years on that one, but the runner-up is Life In Reverse which took six years to write. I’m pretty sure that’s still true, though I know there are WIPs on my hard drive that have technically been in progress longer at that point.

But that’s the one that’s actually finished that took longest.

Fic you spent the least amount of time on: Oh, Jesus. I don’t know. I have a number of oneshots that were very ‘I wrote this in about three hours over the course of an afternoon, no idea how’ but I don’t remember which ones. I think my body’s made of shell might have been one of those? More recently the martyr, the victim also happened like this.

Longest fic: Single fic (so, not by verse), easily it’s Life in Reverse at 228,217 words. 

Shortest fic: There’s a lot of short (including literal drabble) works on my Tumblr and I have no idea which of them is shortest, and there are a lot of things there, so I’m just going to go with the shortest posted on AO3, which is After the War (349 words).

Most hits: .I tend to rule out multichapter fic for these questions because they’re always going to get artificial inflation by virtue of having more chapters to get hits on, so skipping down past Life in Reverse and Halfway House it is actually I heard you killed your only friend last year.

Most kudos: Once again (unsurprisingly) Life in Reverse - the next most is Steve Rogers’ Halfway House for Notorious Supervillains, though it is a substantial gap.

Most comment threads: If I skip over multichapter fic again (because, again, artificial inflation), it is the ship at the end of the universe.

Fave fic you wrote: Lord, I don’t know. Depends on the day (and time of day, and mood at the time, and who’s asking). Right now I am deeply proud of everyone else is spring bound - might be my favorite thing I’ve written in a while.

Fic you want to rewrite/expand on: If I let myself think about this too much the list would be a mile long, and also the list of “fics I could write sequels to and am actively trying not to” is as long as my arm. I feel like there’s a number of Silmarillion fics I’d rewrite if I felt like I could go back to them without wanting to crawl into a hole and die. Some older Maeglin fic, maybe. 

Or I could write another Celegorm’s Death fic, I’ve only written four of them so far and it’s been a few years, surely I’ve gotten better in that time. Would be fun to have, like, a Celegorm’s Death Fic for every five years. 

I want to write more in the Maeglin-lives AU, which is one of those nice AUs that’s so open-door for me I can just kind of wander back into it when I feel like being sad about my terrible son. (No, the other one. No, the other other one.)

But yeah, ask me how many of my WIPs are actually sequels to things I’ve written before.

Share a bit of your WIP or share a story idea that you’re planning: The fic I’m currently trying to finish is a post-Untamed terrible road trip fic between Jiang Cheng and Lan Wangji full of passive aggression and some aggression aggression and the continuing adventures in Jiang Cheng’s attempts to deal with his emotions and not being very good at it. 

Excerpt:

“How could you let him leave,” he said, his voice thick.

He was aware of Lan Wangji falling still. Stiller than usual. “I told you. Wei Ying said he wanted to go. I was respecting his wishes.”

“Fuck his wishes,” Jiang Cheng said with feeling. “When have Wei Wuxian’s wishes gotten him anywhere good?”

Lan Wangji somehow got even stiller. His eyes were in shadow, and he said nothing. 

“I’m right,” Jiang Cheng said fiercely. “You know I’m right. If you’d asked, he’d’ve stayed.”

The other one is also Untamed fic and is fondly known as the worst found family fic, or else “this is going to be the most fucked up happy ending ever.”
