remix reveals!! i wrote this weird little sci-fi au based on the work of a very dear friend of mine 💫 instead of resurrecting into a new body, wei ying has cybernetic enhancements after his near-death. it takes some adjusting. 💫 wangxian, 5k, rated e 💫 archiveofourown.org/works/83890916

a screencap of the title and summary for "neither sink nor swim" by ao3 user perilously (me!). the summary is as follows:

Wei Ying never died, but he was resurrected anyway.

Lan Zhan still looks at him the same, that unrelenting gaze spiked through with adoration if you know where to find it. Lan Zhan doesn’t care if Wei Ying has both of his eyeballs. He doesn’t care about the materials that make up Wei Ying's hands and legs. He acts like he doesn’t even notice, and hey. If the whole world was a hermetically-sealed pod that contained no one but him and Lan Zhan, he could bluff like none of it ever happened. The memories would be just that: memories. He’d fold them up, origami of the mind, and stick them under the center console of his brain with a wad of well-chewed gum. Bam.

the spirit moved me to post... a wangxian bakery au? look, we don't question the spirit 🍞 lan zhan works at a bakery; wei ying is totally normal about him 🍞 wangxian, 2.8k, rated t 🍞 archiveofourown.org/works/80821276

an ao3 screencap of the title and summary for the fic "knead until smooth" written by perilously (me!). the summary is as follows:

Inside the bakery, Lan Zhan works the dough one last time. He hasn't looked up once. When he does, Wei Ying bites his tongue on the shriek that tries to bust out of his throat. He freezes like a startled rabbit, like he thinks Lan Zhan is a predator who can't see movement.

It's fine. Lan Zhan doesn't see him.

remix author reveals! surely nobody will be surprised by what i have wrought 🦇 vampire lwj/faerie wwx in the mount muxi cavern 🦇 what happens when a vampire bites a faerie? 🦇 wangxian, 2.2k, rated t for teeth 🦇 archiveofourown.org/works/64655314

an ao3 screencap of the title and summary for the fic "take it, want it, love when it bleeds" written by perilously (me!). the summary is as follows:

"You are bound to obey me now."

Wei Wuxian bristles. "And you're bound to serve me! So, what? What does that mean? What happens when a vampire bites a faerie?"

Abruptly, Lan Zhan is only a seventeen-year-old again, small and weary, vampire or no. He's a boy whose home just burned. He seems to hate the shape of the words as he spits them out: "I don't know."

hey here's another mdzs post of mine that feels like it should be preserved. who gave wei ying access to reddit

r/AskReddit post "what are some fucked up animal facts?" edited so that the answer is from "yllz69" and reads "my husband bites me eventhough I am so nice to him"

idk how much reposting i'll be doing but i definitely want to preserve this, by far my most popular mdzs and/or wangxian and/or lan wangji tweet ever. iirc this originally came to me in a dream

An iceberg where the part over the water reads "Wei Ying." The part under it reads "Wei Ying, I only want you to understand that I love you. Not only that, but that I am devoted to you. When I first met you, I was angry, because I had never realized that so much life could be contained within one person, and I hadn't even known that I was settling for less than what I could have. I suspect you mistook that anger for hatred, but I have never hated you, not once. I have wanted you and I have feared for you, and I have tried desperately to protect you from yourself and from the jealous world. When you smile, I could take on anything. I sincerely believe that you are special: not that you're perfect, but that the picture painted by every aspect of you, flaws and mistakes and irritating habits and wounds both physical and emotional, is one I could look at every day for the rest of my long life and never grow tired of its shapes and colors. If you would have me, I will never leave your side. Also, I would really like to get you out of those robes."

the world is really lucky lan wangji is a good person because he could easily use this power for so much evil

MDZS excerpt: "The boy didn't really trust the snickering Wei Wuxian, but looking at Lan Wangji, he felt a deep sense of awe toward such a young master, whose clothes were white as snow, the sword was adorned with jade, and features were so handsome that he almost looked like a deity. His wavering heart was immediately persuaded, mumbling, "So that's how you count..."

reading over some of the gusu lan rules and every time i come across this particular set of them i have to laugh. i know a couple who's doing a bad job adhering to these!

the following lan rules:
Your forehead headband reminds you of self-restraint.
You are not allowed to use other people’s headbands without authorization.
You cannot use your headband in any other ways.

we all agree no idea by muna is the most lan wangji song ever recorded right

the following lyrics:
You seem like such a good thing, a good thing
I know that good things take time
I keep it so clean, so clean
But baby in the back of my mind
You have no idea, you have no idea
The things I think about you when you aren't here
You have no idea, you have no idea
But when you find out it's all you're gonna hear
