It's high time I started a #fanfic #recs thread, too! :D Most of these will be #WangXian from #TheUntamed #cql #mdzs, maybe I'll include YiZhan fics, too.

Here's a wonderful and very hot @wangxian dancers #fic (Strictly come dancing AU) by @selenay that also triggered my (and lwj's) competence kink. I'm such a sucker for wwx getting the admiration he deserves.

#YiZhan #RPF #bjyx (tagged for reach, I don't actually know or care which dynamic)

Continuing my #fanfic #rec thread:
One of my @wangxian comfort reads is "Three changes" by orange_crushed, a Cloud Recesses era AU (no war etc) with a lwj pov. The writing is so beautiful & sensual, you really experience lwj's emotional turmoil and attraction, and wwx is just like in cql, irresistible, kind and brilliant. There's only brief angst, mostly the two do this sweet, hesitating dance around e/o.

Next up in my @WangXian #fanfic rec thread:
One of my all time favorites: A modern AU w. magic, with a lovely wwx from lwj's pov, lots of sexual tension & hurt/comfort, lxc laughing abt oblivious #WangXian, lwj's crush can be seen from the moon 😂
https://archiveofourown.org/works/22630426

My favorite fic by fakeplasticlily: doctors AU, wwx KNOWS his feelings, no angst, much yearning & attraction, sooo hot! Written so well that I could feel all of it.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/22615696

#cql #TheUntamed #mdzs #DecRecs

Another @wangxian #fanfic favorite of mine:

"Just so" by airinshaw (21k), a modern AU where lwj makes ASMR videos and Youtuber yllz flirts with him solely bc of his hands and voice; and then they meet at a con 😍🔥 The fic captures both of their characters so well and is lovely, funny and hot.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/24811639

#WangXian #cql #TheUntamed #mdzs #DecRecs

Another warm @wangxian #fanfic for today's #DecRecs:

"A curse of a different color" (35k) by Nickel710 is wonderful fic that's essentially pure hurt/comfort in the best way. Lwj is turning to jade because he doesn't allow himself to feel & wwx is helping him heal 😍 With lovely family feels & ace triad jc/wq/lxc.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/28005366
#cql #TheUntamed #mdzs #WangXian

Next in my @wangxian #fanfic rec thread:

"Water, and the open sky" (20k) by el_em_en_oh_pee is a brilliant science-fiction AU where wwx maintains a remote lighthouse in a sort of exile, lwj is an inspector who doesn't know about the punishment character of the assignment.
The worldbuilding is exquisite, wwx's genius is front & center, lots of hurt/comfort due to starvation of human contact, bonus Wen siblings as androids.

#cql #TheUntamed #WangXian #DecRecs #mdzs

This is one of my absolute favorite #YiZhan #fanfic s: "The scent of happiness" (49k) by vesna (mrsronweasley). It's a famous Wang Yibo/ non-famous Xiao Zhan AU, she actually wrote Xiao Zhan as a baker before he said in an interview that that's his dream job if he left c-ent 🤩
The fic is very soft and hot and just perfect. Wyb falls for this baker with the brilliant smile who doesn't know wyb is an idol.
