    Summary

    for anyone who may find it useful to have open in a side tab while reading MDZS fics~

    watching MDZS since 2020 was a steep learning curve for me — I'd never watched a show in Chinese language before! and captions aren't always the most reliable translations... I had to start start keeping track of what I'd learned.

    and I figured this might be helpful to someone else. also, I'm a slut for languages, so this was just fun!

    Bookmarker's Notes

    This. Is. Amazing.

    To put it into context, I'm not even interested in XX & XY & SL. Their story arc is my least favorite part of MDZS. But did somebody say... dinosaurs? So of course I had to at least look. And then the absolutely stellar writing drew me in, the deeply informed world-building filled me with delight and awe, and the 100% convincing characterization (of characters I don't normally even care about!) convinced me to keep reading. What an experience it turned out to be, provoking me to reexamine my thoughts not merely about the fictional characters, but about real-life topics like childhood trauma and the line between justice and vengeance.

    Truly this is a gem.

    Summary

    Lan Wangji is hit with a 100% rapidly fatal curse that turns its victims to stone. Wei Wuxian's quick thinking stops the "rapid" part, giving him time to attempt the impossible, with the help of Lan Xichen, Song Lan, Jiang Cheng, and Jin Ling. There is only one person who might be able to save Lan Wangji before his time runs out, and it's someone Wei Wuxian once promised to look for. He just has to find her this time, and hope she has the answer.

    Summary

    Mo Xuanyu laughed, loud and unrestrained, and Wei Wuxian stared as he patted the top of Lan Zhan's head. "Er-gege," he said over his shoulder. "You used to be so shy!"

    Wei Wuxian found himself stepping back in surprise as Mo Xuanyu crowded Lan Zhan. He startled as the older Lan Wangji fell into step beside him, and watched his husband tease his younger self with a serene, fond expression.

    Or: In which, blissfully married Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian stumble into their past; shenanigans ensue.
    [Based on the prompt: "You're allowed to bully your younger self, as a treat."]

    Summary

    A year after Jin Ling's early succession to the position of Sect Leader, a letter is delivered to him under strange circumstances. A night-hunt follows.

    Hanguang-Jun shook his head, and played again. This time, the response was slower, almost coy.

    “What did it say?” Jin Ling asked.

    “Hanguang-Jun asked what it was doing here,” Lan Sizhui translated. “The response was ‘Waiting.’”

    Summary

    Lan Wangji could not say, it will all be over soon. He wished he could, but this would be something they would need to live with, something they would need to heal from. Already, Lan Wangji could see how it was affecting Wei Ying, how it had shaken his already fragile confidence, his grip on his tangible experience.

    He could not say that it would be over, could not pretend that this had never happened, that Wei Ying had not been hurt. What he could do, however, was love his husband. That was all. He didn’t need to do anything more.

    In which Wei Ying plants a garden, and earth is overturned.

    Summary

    During his “night hunt” in Yiling, Lan Wangji is struck by a curse that transforms him into a wolf. He approaches Wei Wuxian for help. This is how he learns three things:

    1) Wei Wuxian is afraid of dogs and dog-adjacent creatures.
    2) Wei Wuxian will do literally anything for a friend in need.
    3) Wei Wuxian considers Lan Wangji to be... possibly more than a friend?!?

    Summary

    Time Loop Wei Ying is tired of saving everyone's bacon just for them to murder him later. When he reappears back in the Burial Mounds, he sets off to get things done without being made into either a weapon, turned into the cultivation world's pariah, or being used as a pawn. (Includes multiple cameos by the Yiling Patriarch who is totally not Wei Wuxian, because that's ridiculous.)

    Morally Grey Wei Ying. Master of Talisman Wei Ying. BAMF Wei Ying.

    He has issues about a lot of things far scarier than dogs, and it colors his view of many of his old friends/family... While not completely bashing be warned that Wei Ying is not going to be nice.
