Here are some of the fics I enjoyed in April:

MDZS/CQL Fanfic Recs

Lans Never Kiss and Tell, Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian, 30k, explicit
The gang finds out that everyone has kissed Lan Wangji except for Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian has a meltdown about it and then fixes the problem as quickly and thoroughly as he possibly can.

One Problem Leads To Another, Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian, 25k, teen
Thanks to [personal profile] bea_recs for the rec!
As of that first day in the library, Lan Wangji has a problem. His problem has a name: the rule-breaking abomination of unholy glee and blinding smiles…

The first disciple of Yunmeng Jiang…

Wei-gongzi…

Wei Wuxian…

Wei Ying…

Two weeks into disciplinary sessions, Lan Wangji has a different problem.

And Gusu Lan will suffer for it.

the road to hell is paved with good intentions (home)
, Lan Xichen/Jin Guangyao, 6k, mature
⚠️ mind the tags
The room falls silent, and several sets of disbelieving eyes turn on him. The Madam’s painted-on eyebrows shoot as far up her forehead as they can go before she recovers her momentarily lost composure and narrows her eyes in suspicion.

Lan Xichen makes a higher bid, incorrectly assuming the first must not have been sufficient; if it means getting Meng Yao out of this room and away from these foul people, safe from their open leering and depraved intentions, he is willing to pay anything.

(What price can Lan Xichen hope to name for another chance to be alone with his precious, wretched A-Yao? There is none too steep. He would relinquish all that he has, and far more besides.

There is already so little of him left, yet he would give and give and give until there was nothing left at all.)
//
A Lan Xichen who is still supposed to be in the midst of his seclusion finds himself in the Yunping of the past; not knowing what else to do, he decides to look for Meng Yao.

Things do not go as he expected.

salt in my body, Lan Wangji/Nie Huaisang, 4k, explicit
⚠️ mind the tags
Nie Mingjue had been a good man, had always been kind to Lan Wangji. He thinks, looking now at Nie Huaisang's tense and miserable frame, that he had not really understood that Nie Mingjue was gone.

spoiled, Nie Mingjue/Lan Xichen/Jin Guangyao, 4k, explicit
Mingjue holds Xichen's face in his hand. "You never roll over so nice for me," he tells him, like a secret, and Meng Yao feels some slick, oily thing inside him raise its head.

Xichen hums, soft as spider silk. Asks, “Don’t I?”

too much, not enough
, Wei Wuxian/Jiang Cheng, 14k, explicit
“Okay, so good news!” Wei Wuxian says, swanning into the room with just enough energetic cheer that Jiang Cheng knows whatever it is he’s going to say is going to be awful. “We figured out the nature of your curse! You’re probably not going to die! It’s not even going to hurt!”

“Yeah? And what’s the bad news?” Jiang Cheng gruffs, crossing his arms over his chest.

Wei Wuxian does a double-take, like he’d expected his (fake) good mood to fool Jiang Cheng. Like it’s ever managed to fool Jiang Cheng. His laugh is a little shrill, a little frenetic as he says, “Well, uh. You know our ghost friend back there? Yeah, she’s possessing you. Which is why...” He makes a gesture at the general area of Jiang Cheng’s... problem.

“Ah,” Jiang Cheng said, expression souring. “I’m not going to like the cure, am I?”

“You’re not going to like the cure,” Wei Wuxian nods.
--
Jiang Cheng gets cursed on a nighthunt. Wei Wuxian helps him with the cure.

Also of note in MDZS fic land, When You Wake, 怎能当梦一场 (Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian, 39k, teen), which I recced as a WIP back in April 2021, is now complete! It's a modern China AU written from the perspective of Sizhui as a child, young teenager, and college student, and it has one of the strongest senses of place of any modern AU I've read in this fandom so far.

Beyond Evil Fanfic Recs


worth waiting for, Lee Dong-sik/Han Ju-won, 13k, explicit
Healthy communication might be an unrealistic kink in this fandom but it's my kink nonetheless.

“Why are you doing this?” Joo-Won demanded.

“Doing what?” Dong-Sik asked, one corner of his mouth twitching into that damnable smirk.

Joo-Won searched for the words to describe what he felt like Dong-Sik was doing. ‘Prying into my personal affairs’ would have been good. ‘Being an obnoxious piece of shit’, also a strong contender. ‘Refusing to accept the fact that I don’t want you here, I don’t want you in my life, I don’t want anyone in my life, I don’t need anyone in my life, and all you’re doing is driving me to distraction at a time when I need to be focused’, he thought, was probably the most accurate.

Somehow what he wound up saying through gritted teeth was, “Staying.”


Word of Honor Fanfic Recs

a certain kind of man, Zhou Zishu/Wen Kexing, 9k, explicit
“Watch the road,” Zhou Zishu says, his face warmer than he wants it to be, thankful for the car’s dim interior. “You won’t get anything from me if you wrap us around a pole.”

“True,” Wen Kexing agrees sagely, his eyes turning dutifully forward. “There is only one pole here I’d like to wrap something around.”

Zhou Zishu is startled into an unfortunate bark of laughter. Wen Kexing grins like he won something. Smug bastard.

“Shut up,” Zhou Zishu says. “Just don’t talk again until we get there.”
****
Days before Zhou Zishu puts a plan in motion that will implode his life and probably kill him, he spends a lost weekend with a man he meets at a bar.

A year later, their paths cross again.

RPF Fanfic Recs


Sweet Pepper (series), Zhang Zhehan/Gong Jun, 7k, teen to explicit
The story of how Zhang Zhehan accidentally poisoned Gong Jun with aphrodisiac chilis.

Happy reading!
