More Untamed/MDZS recs from me. Today's recs all have a modern AU with cultivation theme to them (utterly by accident, but let's pretend I planned it):
Back on Jun 10th I posted about Stratisphyre's i really want to know (who are you), a hilariously wonderful modern cultivation AU where WWX is a skilled but overly friendly Cultivation Technician and Cultivation Agent LWJ tries to not be impressed (although he really, really is). It's now a series! CSI: Gusu Lan Edition with a prequel, but his smile never dimmed, 9.5k, (Summary snippet: While temporarily teaching at Yungmeng University, Lan Qiren finds himself dealing with an unruly student.) and a sequel found myself and my melodies, 10.5k, (Summary: The kaleidoscope of events that led to Lan Xichen's eventual resignation from the Gusu Bureau of Cultivation began when a rotting corpse from Lanling rolled in through their receiving bay. - LXC/NMJ fic - both as absolutely excellent as the first.)
结局难更改 (the ending is hard to change) by PorcupineGirl (series, 2 works, 43.7k combined) Summary of first fic: Exhausted from a busy cultivation conference, the last thing Lan Zhan needs is a man appearing out of thin air as he and his brother walk back to their hotel. Wei Wuxian isn't the first time traveler to appear in modern cultivation history, but that doesn't mean anyone knows how to send him back. As he helps them fill in gaps in the historical record - whether left by destruction or revisionism - Lan Zhan finds himself hoping that he'll stay. Even if there are things Wei Wuxian isn't telling him. (absolutely excellent modern cultivation plus canon divergent plus reincarnation series. I know that sounds confusing but the series really makes it work.)
Night of the Living History (an edutainment special!) by Aerlalaith (51k) Summary snippet: Wei Ying lands a job as the Yiling Patriarch at the Lanling Cultivation Museum. Lan Zhan (Hanguang-Jun 4x per week, Sect Leader Lan 2x per week) suffers accordingly. (really interesting modern but with minor cultivation worldbuilding museum docent fic)
Attempt the Impawsible by cl410 (6k) Summary snipper: A ridiculous thought occurred to Lan Zhan. “...Wei Ying?”
At his feet, the cat responded with an emphatic trilling noise and a little hop of excitement. (hilarious and adorable modern cultivation AU)
