Community Recs Post!

[glitteryv]

Every Thursday, we have a community post, just like this one, where you can drop a rec or five in the comments.

This works great if you only have one rec and don't want to make a whole post for it, or if you don't have a DW account, or if you're shy. ;)

(But don't forget: you can deffo make posts of your own seven days a week. ;D!)

So what cool podfics/fics/fancrafts/fanvids/fanarts/some other kind of fanwork have we discovered this week? Drop it in the comments below. Anon comment is enabled.

Busy week so only 2 fic recs from me to day, two canon-era MDZS/The Untamed AUs:

Tiger Skin, Fox Heart by GhostySword (29k)
Summary: When the Sacrifice Summon ritual goes wrong, Mo Xuanyu assumes his chance at revenge and freedom is gone. However, he still has bound Wei Wuxian's ghost to him, and together they make a plan: Mo Xuanyu will pretend to be fully possessed by the Yiling Laozu, they'll get rid of the Mo family, and then Mo Xuanyu will be miraculously "cured" and excused of all wrongdoing when a cultivator tries to exorcise him. What could go wrong?

Steps one and two go fine. Step three gets tricky when the cultivator who shows up is Hanguang-jun, who seems very uninterested in any exorcisms and very interested in "Wei Wuxian." It becomes even more complicated when Mo Xuanyu realizes he's stumbled into the middle of a star-crossed romance: and worst of all, that he's falling too. (It's really interesting how so many canon points change as a result of the divergence in this WWX/LWJ/MXY fic)

a burden of figs by spookykingdomstarlight (16k)
Summary: Since their first meeting, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji have always known they’ll one day marry one another. Wei Wuxian’s mother, a romantic at heart, especially encourages him in this pursuit. Everything changes when he finds out Lan Wangji is not only one of the Lan sect heirs, but the nephew of Lan Qiren. A wandering cultivator, the son of Cangse sanren at that, cannot possibly seek a proper courtship with him. He doesn’t have the heart to tell her he’s broken their understanding. Two years later, this failure to speak the truth comes back to haunt him. (realistic, and great, look at how a rogue cultivator WWX no war but acknowledging their different status AU would play out)
