Pairings: Original Luo Binghe/Shen Yuan | Shen Qingqiu
Fandom: The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System open_in_new

Summary:

Luo Binghe's destabilized more mid-level demonic regimes than he can count on one hand; setting up one untenured scum teacher for scandal and disrepute will be like snapping his fingers.

Luo Binghe mistakes Shen Yuan for his shitty brother and gets his ass domesticated. This will prove to be a mixed blessing.

Bookmarker's Notes:

Unforgettable. I loved the relationship progression in this one, and the relationship between the Shen brothers. Very fleshed-out, right down to the most microscopic worldbuilding details that make this universe feel lush and well thought-out. The beautiful art is a fantastic bonus.

Pairings: Hua Cheng/Xie Lian
Fandom: Tian Guan Ci Fu | Heaven Official's Blessing open_in_new

Summary:

Immediately after his return, Hua Cheng realizes that he can feel whenever Xie Lian touches his ring. It doesn't bother him. In fact, he finds it endearing.

But he ignores it, because something else is worrying him: why is Xie Lian acting so guilty?

Bookmarker's Notes:

Love Xie Lian calling the shots. Quality.

Pairings: Lan Zhan | Lan Wangji/Wei Ying | Wei Wuxian
Fandom: The Untamed open_in_new, Modao Zushi | Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation open_in_new

Summary:

The next time he reaches for his clothes, Lan Wangji slaps his hands out of the way. Wei Ying's eyes go momentarily wide, then narrow in fiendish pleasure. "Yes," he hisses. "There you are." He tosses his head, hair coming apart in pieces over his face, obscuring his beautiful mouth and shining eyes. "There you are, Lan Zhan. Fuck me. Fuck me, I don't want to–make me listen to you, make me better. Make me better. You could have, you could have–."

(It's one of Wei Wuxian's bad days)

Bookmarker's Notes:

Haunting character study. They're such a beautiful mess of broken glass that fits together just right. I'm haunted.

Pairings: Asagiri Minori & Mogami Keiji
Fandom: Mob Psycho 100 open_in_new

Summary:

Mogami's palm lands solid against the door beside her head, and she barely stifles a whimper as he leans over her. "I expect you know all about that, Asagiri Minori. Tell me–have you always known that's why you choose to torment others? Or was it just for fun?"

"Please," she stammers.

"Please," he echoes. "You haven't even asked me for anything."

Bookmarker's Notes:

This fic – specifically the final scene – made me cry. Visceral, cathartic fic.

Minori has always been one of my favorite MP100 characters, though the horror of her story remains largely unexplored in canon, which works amazingly in a canon focused on Mob, but I still love her and appreciate getting more pieces of the puzzle that is Asagiri Minori. This fic did her justice in a way I can't fully articulate. Most of the fandom seems to fall into the trap of wanting to choose between letting her be a bully and a sad, manipulated girl, but this fic balanced those parts of her brilliantly and with a great deal of respect. Minori wasn't entirely helpless in this fic, but she's also not in control, and she doesn't know how to come to terms with it. A flawless read that will have a place in my heart forever.

Fandom: The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System open_in_new

Summary:

At a crucial moment in Proud Immortal Demon Way, Luo Binghe loses faith in his shizun. Shen Yuan, a brand-new reader of a novel still in the backstory chapters, feels so bad for him that it rips a hole in space-time. Now he's tasked with fixing the baby protagonist's broken heart, so Luo Binghe is ready to become the stallion he's destined to be!

Your classic reverse transmigration premise, but Binghe is fifteen.

Bookmarker's Notes:

I read this in one sitting and it changed my life forever. Reverse transmigration is one of my most beloved tropes for these two. Is this the perfect fic? Very likely.

Summary:

"So?" Zhongli asks. In his visible excitement, he gets up and leans over Xiao's arm to peer at the page too. "Can you see anything of interest?"

'Yes', Xiao wants to say, 'I see the most gorgeous hair I've ever seen. I see a sliver of a smile as cold and as warm as moonlight. I see the hint of a cheek I want to kiss and the line of an arm I want to feel wrapped around my neck.'

Based on an amazing thread by Marin.

Bookmarker's Notes:

I've never played Genshin. This was recommended to me by the same friend who put me through the pain of Pig's Blood, and it did not disappoint. Incomparably painful fic. My heart has been shattered into a million pieces and I am going to cry. Thanks for the rec, darling.

Summary:

"Move again," Lan Zhan says, her voice too low and too dangerous in her throat, "and I'll cut you."

Wei Ying's dark eyes go wide. "Like. On purpose?"

(or, Wei Ying gets a haircut every time she dumps a boy.)

Bookmarker's Notes:

So maybe this was my fem!WangXian awakening? I'm so glad this fandom has such a thriving community of femslash writers. I adore "straight girl" Wei Ying.

Summary:

Wei Wuxian and Nie Huaisang keep up a lively correspondence after their time at Cloud Recesses. It gets even livelier when, due to Nie Huaisang's limited allowance, they have to start writing their own porn to discuss. It's really not Nie Huaisang's fault that his brother thought the letters marked "Lan Wangji" were FOR Lan Wangji!

Bookmarker's Notes:

I think about this fic constantly. Came for the WangXian, stayed for the Wei Ying & Nie Huaisang friendship. Absolutely delightful fic.

Wei Wuxian is settling in for a boring night at a Cultivators' hostel when Lan Wangji shows up with a sex curse. What kind of terrible friend would he be if he didn't offer to help?

Bookmarker's Notes:

I remember this one being very good, but I didn't leave much in the way of bookmarker's notes. Please just trust that this author writes good smut and that modern cultivation can be a lot of fun.

There's nothing for a moment, then what sounds like frustrated pacing. "Lan Zhan?"

"Food."

Wei Wuxian's laugh sounds strained. It sounds like he shouldn't be laughing. Lan Wangji doesn't like the sound.

"I can't eat, but thanks."

"Are you…?"

"Still so horny that I want to die?" Wei Wuxian almost shouts. "Yes."

Or, Wei Wuxian manages to get himself cursed and Lan Wangji just wants to be helpful.

Seems I read a lot of sex pollen this week.

Pairings: Nie Huaisang/Nie Mingjue
Fandom: Modao Zushi | Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation open_in_new

Summary:

According to Nie Huaisang's teachers, there was a small voice in people's heads that told them what was good and what was bad, and that voice was called the conscience.

Nie Huaisang concluded, after some observation, that this was true – for other people, that was.

Nie Huaisang himself did not appear to suffer from this particular affliction.

(in which Nie Huaisang realized that he was just too greedy to give up either his da-ge's affection or sex, and in fact would ideally like them both at the same time, and what happened next)

Bookmarker's Notes:

Delightfully messy fic brought to us by the author of the first HashiTobi fic I read. I adored this one.

Summary:

It is pure impulse that has led Wangji to press Wei Ying to his desk, smearing the brush he'd been using, crumpling all his papers. Perhaps Wei Ying had expected him to draw his sword, for Wangji to meet his impropriety and shamelessness with violence. Whatever he expected, it is obviously not this particular act of–can it be called violence? The way Wangji is devouring the other boy's lips could be considered such, perhaps, as he is not gentle, biting and licking his way into the other's mouth.

Or, the one where Lan Wangji has a very different reaction in the library pavilion.

Summary:

More Death Note fic, wut wut. Pointless, mediocre L/Raito that progressively gets stupider, written only because it was a long, dull Saturday and I wanted to explore the possibility that they could get together without bucketfuls of angst. Shaken, not stirred. Spoilers for chapter 37. Around 1500 words.

Bookmarker's Notes:

Don't listen to the author, this one was lovely. Very in character, somehow also very sweet.

Summary:

"A demon my age begins to think about his legacy," he had explained, and clapped Luo Binghe's shoulder hard. "He wants to see his family settled."

Luo Binghe stiffened under the touch and stared at the side of his father's face with barely concealed disgust.

"My son speaks of his time at Qing Jing Peak often," Tianlang-Jun continued, ignoring the mounting tension in the room and the expressions of barely concealed violence. "What sort of father would I be if I didn't give him what he desires."

"Your Excellency," Yue Qingyuan began, diplomatically, "Perhaps we could host your son again for a time as our guest."

"How lovely! What an excellent idea. Perhaps after the wedding."

The stomach of every peak lord dropped.

"Junshang," Luo Binghe gritted out, jaw clenched.

"Don't interrupt, boy," he said and stepped closer to the sect leader. "I need to negotiate a bride price for your old master."

Bookmarker's Notes:

I love them so much, especially evil-ish Tianlang-jun(shang) who is still a massive BingQiu shipper.
