The Election Collection (as if 2020 isn’t enough)

These are stressful times, my darlings, and while xanax and alcohol are certainly an escape, I like to have a somewhat healthier option in reserve. We have one week to go before life in the U.S. will/will not end, and it’ll probably drag on forever after that, so, here, have enough fic to last you a full month.
Not every fic in this compilation is fluff (like, I wouldn’t call sickfics fluff, necessarily), but all of them make me feel better in some way. This list is waaay long – ohmygawd it’s got 88 works in it – so I’m actually going to tuck it behind a read more. I broke it up into categories, which are in alphabetical order (the works themselves are in no order whatsoever):
bunnies | feel good fic | goofy students in love | happy-making | harlequin/white knight | homesteading | humor | kid fic | sickfic/caretaking | time travel fix-it.
The Bunny Next Door by detailsinthefabric (E, 43k, wangxian) my bookmark here.
Summary: Lan Wangji did not know what he was doing. He did not know what he was going to say. He was frozen in place, puzzling over the situation. Maybe he had made the man uncomfortable, which is why he wanted to leave? But his tone had still been so friendly—maybe…
“Would…” he paused, swallowed, forced the last words to come out of his suddenly parched mouth, “would you let me pet him?”
Lan Wangji, who doesn’t know how to socialize and whose icy demeanor scares everyone away, lets down all his defenses when he meets the bunny next door…oh, and also its owner, Wei Wuxian.
it’s you, it was always you by myung (G, 8k, wangxian) my post here.
Summary: In which Lan Zhan can turn into a bunny and Wei Ying is the fool who loves him.
*Based on a Tumblr post: “The most wanted woman in town has announced that she’ll only marry the one who can open her front door with the key around her cat’s neck. Many men try to hunt the cat down, chase and trap it, but to no avail; the cat is simply too quick, smart and clever, and always finds a way to evade and avoid them. You are the first one to figure out the obvious: Do not chase the cat. The cat is befriendable. Get the cat to trust you, to genuinely enjoy your company, and you can hang out with the cat. You may eventually be allowed to touch the cat. The cat will freely let you take the key. Secondary plot twist: The woman is a shapeshifter. She is the cat.”
love & longing, rabbit edition. by jaws_3 (G, 18k, wangxian) my post here.
Summary: Lan Wangji makes a (minor) miscalculation and gets turned into a rabbit. He then makes the (ridiculous!) mistake of seeking Wei Ying out for help.
everybody lives because i said so by Mayarene Rose (Paradise_of_Mary_Jane) (G, 46k, wangxian) my bookmark here.
Summary: Lan Zhan has taken to visiting the Yiling as often as he can, bringing as many rabbits as he can carry.
It is not against the sect rules so there’s no reason for him to feel guilty about it. And after all, he made a promise.
Or the one where Lan Zhan sneakily moves into the Burial Mounds and this may or may not have helped stop a lot of bad things from happening.
an armful of warmth by Alaceron (G, 11k, wangxian) my post here.
Summary: In the winter, 10 years after the death of the Yiling Patriarch, Professor Lan Wangji finds an injured rabbit at the edge of the school grounds.
nothing so sweet as a bunny by jaws_3 (G, 15k, wangxian) my post here.
Summary: Wei Wuxian turns himself into a rabbit. It’s mostly an accident.
