  2. Summary

    This is a series of random prompts, most from this list: Creative Writing Prompts and Advice, bless the creator of this list, it has been such a source of inspiration! It covers a range of pairs, mostly WangXian, WeiLan, and PingXie, but there may be others as we progress! In which the lovely and talented farawayanddreaming and I challenged each other with pairings and prompts in times of writer's block or just for the fun of it. We hope you enjoy these little scenes of love and angst as much as we enjoyed writing them!

  5. Summary

    A little harmless role-play for stress relief leads to an impossible fantasy becoming reality and a dream come true that Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian could never have anticipated.

    A ton of angst, enough fluff to make your teeth rot, and more emotional hurt/comfort than the Atlantic Ocean can hold. You'll find it all here in this multi-story adventure that spans cannon and AU post-cannon CQL, all based on The Untamed tv series with a smattering of details we couldn't pass up from the books.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian knows that Lan Zhan is the same Lan Zhan as before, but also so, so different. This Lan Zhan is soft for him. This Lan Zhan has a set jaw and a steely look in his eye, ready to fight anyone who gets in Wei Wuxian's way. This Lan Zhan puts up no fronts - it almost hurts to look at him, he's so open.

    Wei Wuxian looks at this Lan Zhan, and he wonders.

    (i.e., Wei Wuxian tries real hard to use his two brain cells to figure out if Lan Zhan likes-him, likes-him or not.)

    Summary

    "Fine," Wen Qing says, turning back to Wei Ying. "You're pregnant."

    Lan Zhan feels his mouth drop open and has to work to shut it.

    Wei Ying reacts not at all. He's swinging his feet where he's sitting on the table, a bored expression on his face.

    Wen Qing just looks at him. "I am not joking about that."

    Wei Ying stops swinging his feet. He blinks several times in a row. "Wait," he says.

    Or:

    I woke up at 3AM and sent myself an email that just said:

     

    Modern cultivation friends curse sexy pollen hook up desperate WWX gets pregnant

     

    And then I wrote it. In three weeks. IDK.

    Please note: I am more than certain there is a western bent to this fic, unfortunately, particularly around the cultivation angle, and I wish I could have done better with that aspect of it.

    Summary

    The Chief Cultivator's Herald. Wei Wuxian is not quite sure when they started calling him that, but as he traipses through beleaguered towns and villages, as he finally starts to build the world that he and Lan Zhan have always vowed to build, he finds that he doesn't mind it so much.

    He doesn't mind being anything at all, as long as he is Lan Zhan's.

    Wei Wuxian goes where the chaos is in Lan Wangji's stead, and finds a home in the process.

    Summary

    "Wei Ying is very good at growing things," Lan Zhan says and takes his hands, uncaring of the dirt. Wei Wuxian knows enough now to let him, knows enough that it is something Lan Zhan wants, almost needs, to stain his hands with Wei Wuxian like this.

    And then later, as their scents mingle with each other's - Sandalwood and pine and lotus blooms, like a place where the mountains meet water, Lan Zhan splays his fingers across Wei Wuxian's stomach, whispers softly into the slope of his shoulders.

    "Wei Ying is very good at growing things."
