Lots of MDZS/The Untamed recs from me today with the accidental theme of AU:
A New Dynasty by One_eyed_God (2 works, 66k+6k) Summary (first fic): Wei Wuxian is well-known as a trouble-maker, someone who likes jokes and chaos. He promptly proves this by disappearing without a trace from the Cloud Recesses, in the middle of the Lectures. But when war is on the horizon and tensions boil over, can his actions really be summarized as a simple prank? Or, the unbelievable story of Wei Wuxian, time traveller, told from everyone's point of view but his. Summary snippet of second fic: In which we finally know what Wei Wuxian was thinking when he left the Cloud Recesses. (Time travel fics from the perspective of everyone other than the time traveler are always great and the first one in this series cycles through various POVs of those who are caught up in the events and trying to figure them out while the second provides an alternating look at the beginning via the time traveler, WWX's perspective. Note: while not bashing, neither fic is Madame Yu nor Jiang Cheng friendly)
leave your home un-haunted by spicecandy (45k) Summary Snippet: So Wei Wuxian's bar is a little haunted, it happens to the best of us. The point is that he's got it totally under control, no need for anyone from the Lan sect to ever drop by. Lan Wangji did not get the memo. (really interesting modern-with-cultivation AU with great worldbuilding)
pale shadows of forgotten names by Chrononautical (56k) Summary: To protect the Wen, Wei Wuxian throws himself on the mercy of the Lan Sect. To protect Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji marries him. To protect them all, Lan Xichen orders the Yiling Laozu's seclusion in the Jingshi. But the Jingshi had another occupant in the past. One who lingers on, furious to think that history might repeat. (canon-divergent fic with a lot of far reaching consequences when a secret from the past comes to light. Note: during empathy there is the brief description of the implied rape an OC minor)
