Claiming Life from Death

by MarbleGlove

E, 24k, wangxian (series complete, 4 works)

Summary (Part 1):  The Wen refugees in the Burial Mounds settlement survive, but it was always going to be a struggle. Wei WuXian lives with the dead as much as he does with the living, but even in the deep shadows, there is the potential for joy.

My comments:  This series was so fabulous! I've got little summaries of each part, but they don't really do give a feel for the story as a whole. I love the whole concept of Wei Wuxian and Wen Qing desperately building a settlement, determining rules and processes, learning their own strengths and weaknesses. Wei Wuxian being torn between the living and the dead is also lovely, as is Wen Qing's worry about it. And the method they eventually devise to keep him (and everyone else) as safe and protected as possible, which coincidentally is a whole new cultivation not needing a Golden Core, is gorgeous.

Lan Wangji, while on the outskirts for a while, is as devoted and strong as he ever is. Even when certain shocking family secrets come to light.

Part 1: Wherein Wei Wuxian and Wen Qing form an actual settlement of refugees in the Burial Mounds. Very much a wwx & wq story (wq POV) about homesteading but also learning to live with resentful energy. WQ notices that wwx is succumbing to it, and they eventually come up with a new method of cultivation that uses expelling resentful energy as a power source, and make atypical cultivators of the Wen Remnants in the process. A-Yuan gets very ill and has to be passed on to Lan Zhan for his own survival.

Part 2: Wherein Lan Wangji wakes up one morning and suddenly has a child (and of course, his reputation suffers because everyone thinks he got nookie very young and unmarried). This doesn't bother lwj at all. (LWJ POV)

Part 3: Wherein many secrets (some very, very old indeed) are revealed, and a betrothal agreement is forged to enhance stability and alliances. (WWX POV)

Part 4: The smut we've all been waiting for.

❤️ Demonic Cultivator's Blessing, or: Curse of the Bunny Gods

by FayJay

E, 25k, wangxian, sangcheng

Summary:  Written for the Reverse Big Bang Challenge, to illustrate the beautiful art work below, by Saph0000 (qr-sa on tumblr).

Her prompt was to write something about WWX and LWJ ascending to become deities; I took the liberty of slightly crossing over MDZS with Heaven Official's Blessing for the worldbuilding, and set myself the goal of bringing a smile to the faces of Jiang Cheng and Lan Xichen.

So: a story in which the newly-ascended bunny gods set out to give Jiang Cheng's love life a boost, and find a way of cheering up Lan Xichen along the way.

My comments:  Ah, me, this was just as thoroughly delightful for the second read! Great story that focuses on our newly promoted gods trying to find Jiang Cheng someone to make him less lonely (since Jin Ling made a prayer). Wwx throws women at him left and right, and of course, JC just fucks it up over and over. (Except the one older woman who "takes him in hand" and expands his world, just as a freebie. POV everyone, basically, from gods to letter-writing Juniors to JC himself.

Excerpt 1:  “Lan Zhan, the bunnies are experts in papapa. Experts. This is why there are so many of them. Although admittedly some of them can’t make baby bunnies together, no matter how enthusiastically they try, because they don’t have the right equipment - but none of them are sad lonely bachelors, Lan Zhan! We don’t need to protect their virgin ears.”

Excerpt 2:  “That’s what I said. And people are worshipping A Yuan’s dads as the Bunny God of Cut-sleeves now.”

Jin Ling spits his entire mouthful of wine all over his robe. Wen Ning pounds him earnestly on the back, and Jin Ling is so distracted that he forgets that he and Wen Ning are sworn enemies. (He forgets this a lot around the Lan Sect Juniors, to be honest, and only remembers when he’s around his Uncle Jiang Cheng.)

“They what?” he says. “The village women were praying to them for loyal husbands before!”

“Well...they may still be doing that? But now so are the village men. They’ve started praying to them as Tu Er Shen.”

“A Yuan?!”

Lan Sizhui shrugs apologetically. “Apparently this is a thing that has happened. You know how people get confused about things, and gossip spreads easily?”

“But...they are martial gods!” protests Jin Ling. “Great fighters! They didn’t just ascend because of...papapa!”

Lan Sizhui bites his lip. He is trying not to smile; Jin Ling looks so outraged on behalf of Lan Sizhui’s fathers.

“Not just because of that, certainly,” he agrees. “They defeated a mighty dragon! But...they also did an awful lot of, um, dual cultivation, Jin Ling, in order to help Wei Ying develop the golden core in that body.” Jin Ling stares, and Lan Sizhui blushes. “I mean. An awful, awful lot.”

“It was very...educational,” says Lan Jingyi, with a somewhat harrowed look. He swallows. “Hanguang-Jun is clearly…uh...very thorough. And Wei Wuxian clearly has...great stamina. And lung capacity.”

“So loud,” says Wen Ning, shaking his head sadly.

“For many hours,” agrees Lan Jangyi.

“Every day,” they both say at once, looking pained.

“They were building Wei Wuxian’s golden core,” Lan Sizhui repeats, his blush deepening. “They had to make up for lost time.”

Lan Jingyi rolls his eyes. “Don’t tell me they were just doing all that papapa to develop Wei Wuxian’s golden core, Lan Sizhui. They did it in the library. And the cold spring. And on night hunts. And up a tree, that time. I don’t want to even think about it.”

“But…” Jin Ling’s eyes dart around the circle, but even the Ghost General is nodding. “...up a tree?”

“The bunnies are an apt symbol for many reasons,” says Lan Sizhui, in a stifled voice. “So it makes sense, really, that cut-sleeves are praying to them now.”

Here's the post that started this mess. 

Apologies to @hazeldomain for blatantly using some of her lines. They were too good to ignore. This probably isn't quite what you had in mind but I hope it's not too terrible.

This series isn't set in the SPN universe but I gave them the bunker anyway because reasons. Pretend Sam and Dean's grandfather was a doomsday prepper, I dunno. I just needed this series to happen in the bunker.

Teaser: 

“Whatever I want, hmm?” Sam runs his hands over Jimmy’s round, perky ass, then trails down his legs, frisking him.

“What are you doing?” Jimmy asks, pressing his ass closer to Sam.

“Searching for weapons,” Sam remarks coolly.

“Where’s your probable cause?”

“You look like the suspect in question, sir.”

Sam's hands plunge into Jimmy's pockets and smirks when his fingers brush against a joint and a tiny packet of lube.

“Hmm. What do we have here?” he asks, pulling them out. “I think I may need to collect these as evidence -”

“It's just weed - for medicinal purposes. And the lube is self-explanatory.”

Sam snorts, laying the joint down on the countertop but keeps the lube. “Time to go.”

“I haven't done anything wrong.”

“That's exactly what a criminal would say.”
