OH MY GOD this is my favorite subject so

hey im SO GLAD you asked because ive been dying to talk about xicheng and these specific fics with anyone who will listen!! anyways here are my three xicheng fic recs that ive been reading over and over these last few weeks:

1.  upon our silver bridge is the first.. biggest… absolute masterpiece of a fic i have to rec which is a slow burn monster currently at 340k words and in progress.. but its. every word is so good and there are no moments where it drags which is really impressive considering the length but for reals its so emotional and well written and there are so many layers and itS REALLY EPIC which took me by surprise but i really hope if you only read one fic its this one.. i only had a casual interest in xicheng before reading this fic now im die hard for this ship and this fic and this writer. i have like 5 fanart wips of scenes from this fic lolol

2. except for when im missing you also destroyed me with the amount of hurt set up for the comfort to follow… its a slow burn wip at 80k words and absolutely… so good.. the HEALING appeal of xicheng is really alive in this one folks and my heart does a fist clench every other sentence i swear to god

3. the beginner’s guide to moving on is.. also a slow burn LOL (but the whole point of xicheng for me is the slow getting to know each other first then being each others therapists and all the while falling in love so this is just a personal preference thing) and its at 190k words BUT it is completed!!!! 

Although Spock is usually phased by frivolous tasks, his current assignment involving a hike across the endless peaks of a whitened Andoria proves to be surprisingly adequate. If it isn’t for the shrill chill of the sodden gale and the daunt of countless arduous precipices ahead, he might say he is comfortable. The tantalising murmur of an absence of society certainly allows for a serene gratification. And, despite his dislike of the crunch beneath his boots from the crisp, taintless, frosted snow, the prospect of the strenuous exercise he is yet to endure more than satisfies his opinions. The pelt of the beams of the planet’s star provides a contrasting warmth to the perpetual climate of Andoria. In spite of this, a silvery vapour illuminates the dominant sapphire of the atmosphere behind it. 

The crunch from another pair of boots crescendos as Spock’s calm liberally decreases. He had been told that this was a solitary assignment. He was the commanding officer when Doctor Puri reached his premature demise, after all. It was only fitting that he, and he alone, should notify his friend’s younger brother. When Spock sees that is Lieutenant Uhura who is approaching him, he doesn’t fight his sudden urge to smile. He raises two fingers to her and she responds in kind, pressing the pads of her own fingers against his. They do not say anything; only walk, allowing their thoughts and emotions to become one with the other's. 

!! when shes in training and her helmet slips off bc of her wig so she just takes her wig off completely!
