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

New/lesser known MDZS/Untamed fic recs:
Friends, Sabers, and Other Essentials for Solving a Conspiracy by MeridianGrimm (50k)
Summary: In which Nie Huaisang is more suspicious about the events at Nightless City, Wei Wuxian is sharp and resourceful even as a spirit, and Lan Wangji isn’t going to let his injuries or his clan keep him from clearing Wei Wuxian’s name. Plotting revenge for the death of a friend is less lonely when your friend is around to solve the mystery with you. (absolutely delightful canon divergent AU)

Torch Song at Nightless City by ArcadianMaggie (11k, MDZS Reverse Big Bang 2022)
Summary: When a body turns up in Chinatown's Ross Alley, detective Lan Wangji has no idea how his life will be turned upside down. While working on the case he visits Nightless City, the popular nightclub run by Jin Guangyao. There, he meets the charismatic singer Mo Xuaynu and is immediately captivated. As the mystery unfolds, Lan Wangji discovers Mo Xuanyu is not all that he appears. Falling hard and fast, he starts to wonder if he's sleeping with the enemy. (a great 1940s Noir, modern cultivation murder mystery AU)

I came into this world/bringing only paper, rope, a shadow by cthulu_sun (8k, MDZS Reverse Big Bang 2022)
Summary Snippet: Lan Wangji, whilst researching early musical cultivation, discovers a mysterious qinpu that feels strangely familiar. Through investigating its origins he meets Wei Wuxian, and together the two of them unravel the mystery surrounding the music and its connection to the infamous Yiling Patriarch. (Almost lyrically done modern cultivation university and more AU)
