Summary: "This time, I’ll run, and you can chase me.”
Lan Zhan’s eyelashes flutter in delicate, adorable confusion. “When I catch you . . .”
“If you catch me.” Wei Wuxian wags a finger at him. “If you catch me, you can do whatever you want.”
That makes . . . something happen on Lan Zhan’s face. Something that makes Wei Wuxian shiver.
Wei Wuxian accidentally tells Lan Wangji about their strange game of chase that night at the inn. His solution to this predicament? Obviously, they need to play again!

Summary: Wei Ying does not die.
He falls. But he has fallen before. Death devours him. But the dead have devoured him before.
He falls and he breaks and still he lives. Or something like it, at least.
(An AU where WWX does not die. Well, mostly.)
Looked so alive, turns out i'm not real

Summary: "Nothing leaves the Burial Mounds alive."
Lan Wangji goes on a side mission night hunt with Wei Wuxian during the Sunshot Campaign, and finds out just how true that statement is. Inquiry rings through the room, and Wei Wuxian answers.
This of course, has consequences.

Summary: Wei Wuxian received the news of his first death a little bit too late.

Summary: Lan Zhan wakes to a pounding on his door in the middle of the night.
For a moment, he assumes Wei Ying must’ve come over after all. Instead, it is Jiang Cheng, soaked and covered in mud, and holding a child—
A child who looks up sheepishly, with the same light grey eyes as Wei Ying.
“I told him we didn’t need to bother you, but he insisted you would want to help.” Jiang Cheng says.

Summary: “Great news, though—well, actually, it may depend how you define ‘great.’” Wei Wuxian folds himself into a cross-legged position and makes a sweeping gesture with one arm toward the closet, from which Lan Wangji can now hear a strange rattling noise. “While you were gone I managed to catch another one!”
“Another . . . cat?” Lan Wangji pulls the closet door open wider and stares at the cage he finds there, inside of which a small black cat is clinging to the ceiling bars with all the desperation of a cornered wild animal.
“That’s Volcano!” Wei Wuxian says by way of explanation. “She’s a little spicy.”

Summary: Lan Xichen breathed in sharply, a crazed laugh escaping him. He lifted his gaze to meet his eyes, a look of despair etched onto the hard lines of his face.
"My brother... my brother has always been our mother's child. For that, he could not live. He is gone. I could not find him, and I could not have brought him home. I can only hope now that Wangji is at rest," he said quietly, the wind whipping the greying locks of his hair around his face.
Wei Wuxian stared at him, horrified. Lan Xichen looked away as fresh tears rolled down his cheeks.
"I have only ever wished happiness for my brother, but I fear I have instead brought him death."

Summary: “Look, I know I’m probably foolish. I know that the chances of this not being a business-meeting are slim to none, but I need to know for sure. If Uncle Jiang wants to apologize, I’ll give him a chance to do so. If not, I want to tell him where to stick it in person.”
Thirteen years after being thrown out by the Jiangs, Jiang Fengmian contacts Wei Wuxian and asks to meet. Wei Wuxian goes in the hopes of reconciling with his adopted family, but the circumstances he finds himself in wont allow that to happen. What will he do when his former guardian tries to arrange a marriage for him that will benefit the Jiang-sect?
E, WIP, 27k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec
Summary: Jin Guangyao, God of the Sky, sees Mo Xuanyu's interest as an opportunity to gain control. Just before Mo Xuanyu is to be appointed the new God of the Underworld, he performs a self sacrificing ritual to escape his fate.
Wei Wuxian returns from the dead after 13 years. He wakes in a new body, surrounded by evil talismans, and perhaps worst of all, face-to-face with Lan Xichen, God of the Sea.

Part of Bottomji Big Bang 2024
Summary: A-Fu apologises for intruding. Shall I bring you a woman?”
Lan Wangji recoils. The question lands like a physical blow: violent, distasteful, and absurd. “No.”
“Then,” A-Fu murmurs. “If you wish, I could… relieve you. As a servant, it is my duty.”
Or: Crown prince Lan Wangji is taken hostage by Wen Ruohan, who has taken the throne after deposing the incumbent emperor. While imprisoned, Lan Wangji is assigned a handsome eunuch servant named A-Fu. Outwardly, A-Fu is mild and attentive, but his whispered hints at rebellion appear to be the start of something momentous and revelatory…

Summary: Five months after the Sunshot Campaign, Jin Zixuan travels to Lotus Pier to ask for Jiang Yanli's hand in marriage.
T, 10k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec
Summary: The news spreads quickly across the cultivation world – Wen Ruohan is dead and his murderer declared himself the new leader of the Qishan Wen sect. Wei Wuxian is described as a demon, as a brutal warlord, as a threat to the very existence of the cultivation world.
He is also, unfortunately, the most attractive person Lan Wangji has ever met.

E, 17k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec
Summary: It has been three months, two days, eleven hours, thirteen minutes, and fifteen seconds since Wei Ying broke up with him, which is why he is the last person Lan Zhan expects to be knocking on his door at one in the morning.
“Wei Ying,” he says, the name already strange and unfamiliar on his tongue, “what are you doing here?”
“The trains are cancelled,” Wei Ying says miserably, and then looks up at Lan Zhan properly for the first time, if only for a split second. There’s nothing but utter defeat in his eyes. He wouldn’t be here, of course, unless all other avenues of rescue have been exhausted, because it has been three months, two days, eleven – “I have to get home. It’s my sister’s wedding.”

Summary: While visiting the Cloud Recesses for the first time, Wei Wuxian's tail intertwines with Lan Wangji's, a boy who wants nothing to do with him. Now engaged, the two have until they reach adulthood to get to know each other and decide if a future together is something they want.
Things would be easier if horny voices in their head would stop yelling at them at inappropriate times.

Summary: After the Sunshot Campaign Wei Wuxian is fooling around in Lotus Pier, and Jiang Cheng decides that he'd be more useful to the sect if he was to enter a diplomatic marriage. Especially since Lan Wangji seems so keen on dragging him away to Gusu. Only Wei Wuxian doesn't expect any good to come from it...
Where No Flesh Decks The Bone

Summary: When Wei Ying falls into the Burial Mounds, he’s rescued not by the Yin Iron, but by a strange, twisted creature who heals his body and slips into his mind.
Now ridden by Lan Zhan, a bodiless creature ignorant of human customs and brimming with the desire for revenge against the cultivators who threw his mother into the Burial Mounds, Wei Ying has the power to take down the Wen sect for good– if he and the creature can learn to work together.
(Or the Venom-inspired canon-divergence Untamed fic no one asked for.)

Summary: "Wei Ying. Good morning. I assumed you had the same sex education as I had, and thus did not need to be informed of the existence of the prostate."
"Not the existence, Lan Zhan, of course I knew they existed! I mean that it's…" Wei Ying trails off, looking at Lan Zhan imploringly. "Like that."

Summary: "Lan Zhan?" he stuttered, his own voice too deep, looking into a face that should be his and which was now flushed pink with anger.
"What did you do?" was the answering reply. Despite the sheer fury being directed his way, Wei Wuxian started to laugh.
"Me?" he asked, feeling a touch hysterical, not least because he was being scolded by himself, "You were the one who broke it!"
