Fic, Recs, and Babble
seasonsofdrabbles just had reveals. I claimed a PH for it:
An End, Looming Bright, DMBJ's Lost Tomb Reboot fandom. Summary: Zhang Qiling's place is by his side. Now, and until the end. (200 words)
Speaking of DMBJ, I don't think anyone here is in that fandom, but if you are I spent a few weeks rewatching Ultimate Note and writing up a huge, stupidly detailed and quote filled episode guide and timeline for it that I shared on tumblr but forgot to mention here.
Yuletide is in its final days of nominations. I nommed the three I've been nomming/requesting on and off for years now but it also looks like most of the Cdramas I'd be vaguely interested in have been nommed as well so not sure what I'll be actually requesting until the tagset is revealed in a few weeks. It's a great exchange, if you think you might want to participate, go get your noms in now.
Have a zillion weeks of
recthething recs (art from The Mummy, Star Wars, MCU's '...What if' #1 {the Peggy-centric one}, and Captain America and fics from MDZS/The Untamed). So much for my keeping up on crossposting it here.
Art:
Star Wars - Luke from Last Jedi
Original Trilogy Yoda v Darth Vader (hilarious)
The Mummy - please dont put me down for mummification (amazing drawings set from first movie)
Captain America
- bad days (Steve comforting Bucky)
- painted some thoughts re: steve rogers and illness (Bucky at Steve's bedside, as kids and young men)
- obligatory leyendecker-style bucky and steve (absolutely spot on imitating the style)
MCU (all from '...What if #1 - the Peggy got the serum episode)
- Captain Carter on motorcycle
- Captain Carter Poster
- Steve and the Hydrasmasher on tumblr or on twitter
- Captain Carter with the sword
- What if the CA:TWS escalator scene still happened (Peggy/Nat)
- More with Captain Carter + Black Widow in CA:TWS
underneath a starless sky, the wind blows towards the future by ilip13 (21k)
Summary: The rumor says that the Yiling Laozu will accept any deal, for a price, and since there is always some place in the city that is broken, infected, crawling with malice, there are always those who are willing to pay, and the Yiling Laozu will then get the job done.
He helps keep the balance, where the path of traditional cultivation fails.
The city can use - sometimes the city requires - someone who is just like him. (Super fascinating urban fantasy + modern cultivation fic)
Blue and White by sagely_sea (27k)
Summary Snippet: There is a serial killer on the loose and the Cultivation Authority is out of clues and time. They send Lan Wangji to contact their special consultant, Wei Wuxian, to help them with his unorthodox ways. But solving a murder isn't the only thing Lan Wangji would like to do with the shunned consultant. (Modern cultivation AU with canon plot points. Really interesting worldbuilding)
All Old Things are New Again by The Feels Whale (miscellea) (51k)
Summary: Full-time necromancer and part-time cam boy, Wei Wuxian, finds himself unexpectedly homeless. An enthusiastic patron comes to his rescue.
Conversely: Immortal Cultivator Lan Wangji has been waiting a long time for his deceased husband to be reincarnated again. In retrospect, he should have anticipated that this is how it would go. (NSFW reincarnation, modern yet canon compliant fic with absolutely amazing worldbuilding.)
Lan Jingyi and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Road Trip by scribblemetimbers (26k)
Summary: Lan Jingyi doesn't know how the hell their perfectly ordinary plans to go to a perfectly ordinary concert turned into a life-threatening road trip filled with monsters, magical rocks, and a megalomaniac who keeps yelling about finding an evil overlord named something as corny as The Yiling Patriarch, but what he does know is that his parents must never ever find out.
Really, the only saving grace here is that they made new friends. Strange, probably-extremely-powerful, and definitely-not-human friends, but A-Yuan and his dad saved them and now they'll help them save Hanguang-Jun! As far as Lan Jingyi is concerned, that means he's ride-or-die for them forever. (Fun and fascinating creature/monster/urban fantasy Modernish AU)
sunlight on broken water by DizziDreams (1.8k)
Summary Snippet: Wen Qing watches as Wei Ying wades out into the pool to join Wen Ning and A-Yuan. He’s thin, of course. They’re all thin, but it looks different on him. (adorably sweet Burial Mounds era set fic)
history by tongzhi (16k)
Summary: Sizhui cannot plaster a smile on his face and act like he doesn’t want to crawl out of his skin at the mere thought of being affiliated with Cloud Recesses - of being a Lan, in all honesty - like he doesn’t want to burn the whole place down. Logically, it’s probably not true, it’s not a reflection of himself, but something about staying here, in this comfort, and maintaining a sense of normalcy feels like consenting to the genocide of his people.
What do you do when your home no longer feels like home? (an interesting LSZ coming to terms with the knowledge that he was born Wen Yuan and what the cultivation world did to the Wens fic)
The Intervening Years by roserocksrapidly (11k)
Summary: Wen Yuan grows up into Lan Sizhui and Xian-gege is there for every step of the way. (sweet yet slightly heartbreaking but in the best ways)
I'm not sure I'm liking how my newest rug is coming out (made from bread and other similarish plastic bags). Oh well. We'll see what it looks like when I run out of bags.
