Posting a day early as I'm going out of town and not sure how much internet access I'll have tomorrow. Here are some of the fics I enjoyed in June. For some reason I had zero attention span for longer works this month, so these are almost all short and smutty oneshots. 🤷‍♀️ However, I did binge three new dramas, and explored the AO3 tag a bit for all of them. ( MDZS/CQL, Word of Honor, Beyond Evil, Mr. Queen, Bad Buddy, Kinnporsche )

Here are some of the fics I enjoyed in May:( MDZS, Nirvana in Fire, Beyond Evil )

Continuing from Twitter Fanart Recs, Part 1: Miscellaneous Fandoms (mostly Word of Honor), here is some MDZS/CQL fanart I've loved on Twitter in the last year or so.

I found a bunch of these on fanart_recs and highly recommend checking out the MDZS and Untamed tags there!

( On to the art! )

Here are some of the fics I enjoyed in February:( 4 MDZS/CQL, 1 Word of Honor, 2 Beyond Evil )

I've historically had kind of mixed luck with gender change AUs. There have been some that I've really enjoyed, but in most fandoms I haven't really sought them out so much as occasionally stumbled across one that looked interesting.

MDZS has changed that. I'm not sure WHY the MDZS fandom has produced so much incredible (and/or incredibly hot) cisswap femslash, but wow, has it ever! Unfortunately, there's no consistent tag for it, so finding it can be a little bit of a pain, since you have to dig through multiple tags, including Female Lan Zhan | Lan Wangjī/Female Wei Ying | Wei Wuxian, Gender or Sex Swap, Alternate Universe - Gender Changes, and others, but as I mentioned in my AO3 Wrapped 2021 post the other day, I've still managed to read so much that f/f Wangxian is my fourth most-read ship this year.

Almost all of these fics are modern AU or modern with magic AUs, and most of them could be read fandom blind. These recs are exceptionally smut-heavy even as somebody who recs smut frequently, so since smut tastes are such a personal thing and mine do lean towards the kinky, please be sure to check the tags before diving in. Most of the authors shared below have written more than one gender change AU fic in this fandom, so I'd encourage you to browse their other works if these particular fics don't strike your fancy. Happy reading!
