Yet more new/lesser known Untamed/MDZS fic recs from me again:
Too gone to stay by Aenya (MZDS Reverse Big Bang, 32k) Summary Snippet: “Seems like it worked,” says a nearby voice.
“I guess he wasn’t so useless after all,” the second voice is calmer, and familiar to him. “Welcome back, Yiling Laozu,” Jin Guangyao says. (Fabulous AU, WWX really shows how clever he can be)
finding a long lost friend by MarbleGlove (2k, technically 2nd in a series but works as a stand alone. The entire series is only 6k though and a good read as well) Summary: The painting was a puzzle. It was a portrait of the Sunshot Campaign leaders as they had truly been, drawn by someone who must have been there. It was a painting by an artist who knew the people well and yet was blind to the political repercussions of being too truthful. It was a beautiful painting and XiChen was glad to have it but also knew it would need to be moved to the forbidden section of the library soon. (AU that takes place years after the raid on the burial mounds that resulted in the Wen remnants disappearance and WWX's presumed death when a young rogue cultivator, Wei Sizhui, comes to Gusu and asks to study there; I love the description of the painting and LXC and LWJ's reactions to it)
He Visited, Still Flitting by aceofbasedesires (14k) Summary: “The esteemed Hanguang-Jun, always where the chaos is,” Wei Ying says and manages, somehow, to inject some levity into it. “Not even I can be selfish enough to keep him from that.” Wei Ying gives himself two weeks to convince Lan Zhan to run away with him. Set in episode 50. (a lovely filler to some missing scenes in e50 with a bonus JC and WWX interaction)
归心似箭 | Longing to Go Home by dragongirlG (7.5k) Summary: The destruction of the Yin Tiger Seal does not kill Wei Wuxian; it ages him instead. He takes shelter in a cave expecting to die, but instead he lives, slowly learning to embrace life with each new day. Thirteen years later, a young man with a Lan forehead ribbon stumbles into the cave. His name is Lan Sizhui. (gentle and sweet book-verse AU)
