It’s been a while since I made a fic rec list so have a list of some of my fave Nie Huaisang-centric fics cuz I’ve been thinking about him lately
Bird On a Spit by Moondal (yours truly)
The truth, the damning truth: you care more about destroying Jin Guangyao than letting your brother rest in peace.
Little self-promo to get us started
Bird on the Wire by villainousfriend
“If you died,” Huaisang started, not knowing quite where he was going with this. “I mean, you did die, da-ge, but if someone had killed you… what would you want to happen next?”
In the wake of Nie Mingjue’s death, Nie Huaisang realises how much he’s been left in ignorance. How could the artsy little brother be left to run their ancestral asteroid-mining clan? What other secrets are hidden in his san-ge’s past? And how should he get revenge?
Maybe having da-ge’s personality backed up on a server was supposed to help with all this. Maybe.
Super cool fic with a sci-fi spin on Nie Huaisang’s revenge
the Final Cut by Wildehack/ @wildehacked
The only question is: what is Huaisang going to do about it?
Absolutely devastating fic that left me emotionally wrecked
I’m Dead to You but You’re at the Wake by Zelos/ @overzelos
Never mind what he had wanted. This, here, was what he had. No, correction: this, here, was what he had made, bled and fought and paid for, sold everything to the roots of his teeth.
Nie Huaisang, and winning.
Nie Huaisang after he fulfills his revenge
I know when I've been beat; I'm coming home by raisedbyhyenas
Several years after her brother's suicide, Nie Huaisang discovers Jin Guangyao's role in it and takes her revenge.
The wlw SangYao Gone Girl au I didn’t know I needed in my life
The Sunset, Like Survival by hansbekhart/ @hansbekhart
Who is to say when you first understood what really happened? At times it felt like a painting you’d looked at too closely, tracing your eyes over the delicate brushwork until you could no longer see trees and stones - so close that you could see where the ink feathered at the edge of the stroke, the way it soaked tiny claws into each individual fiber that made up the page. And then abruptly you’d blinked and there it was, as it always had been: the mountain. The waterfall. The arc of his intentions.
Nie Huaisang as a character suits 2nd person very well and this is the fic that made me realize that
destroy, die, decay by eggalbumin/ @polyclonally
In the dream, he has been walking for what feels like decades when the moonlight finally spills through the clouds. He stops walking then and finds that he does not know who he is or where he has gone. There is a decayed skeleton on the forest floor, a mess of mangled bones, bloodless and whole, and Nie Huaisang recognizes him the way the butcher recalls the carcass of the body he has slaughtered. This is his brother and they are both animals and Nie Huaisang does not know how to love him without one of them being dead.
Nie Huaisang, and the years after his brother's death.
Nie Huaisang character study of all time
