[fic] Fic dump! Mostly MDZS/Untamed with one Dragon Age
The Shape of Home
(MDZS, Wei Wuxian & Lan Sizhui)
~4800 words, rated G.
Started this a really long time ago, got most of it finished, and then let it sit there until prompted to finish. It's just a conversation between WWX and LSZ about forgiveness, and complicated families, and letting things go.
‘How do you do it? Stay here,’ Sizhui says, and his voice drops, as if they might be overheard, although the garden is silent and Hanguang-jun is not here. ‘Put up with it. The way they treat you — the way Elder Zhengyi spoke just now.’ The way they speak to him so often when Hanguang-jun is not there to hear it, their loathing toothless but barely concealed. ‘Live among people who wanted to kill you?’
‘Ah.’ Wei Wuxian meets Sizhui’s eyes, his face closed tight and asks, ‘How do you?’
Unnatural Consequences
(MDZS, Wangxian & Sizhui, casefic)
~12k, rated T
This was last year's Fandom Trumps Hate fic, and it deals with some of the lasting damage a war can do, but is mostly an excuse for badass power couple vibes.
Lan Wangji began to play, and Wei Wuxian poked through the wreckage of fallen trees. The guqin’s soothing song cleared some of the haze of resentment, and Wei Wuxian could feel his muscles relaxing, the dull throbbing ache at the tip of his spine beginning to fade away. He stepped carefully between shattered branches, nudging away the piles of leaves and debris. He was hardly even paying attention when he felt something…respond.

When Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji encounter a creature that even the two of them together can't defeat, it seems a little unbelievable that nobody in the surrounding area has heard of it. In the wilderness north of Gusu, they uncover a secret that has waited years for one particular answer - one it turns out they might be just the people to provide.
Examination of a Lost Fragment of a Poem on Calenhad, by Geoffrey de Montsimmard, Chantry Scholar
(Dragon Age, gen)
~2300 words, rated G.
The title is almost as long as the fic! This was my contribution to last year's Dragon Age Annual zine, and it's a pseudo-scholarly article in which Geoffrey of
In 9:43 Dragon, Lady Sophie de Marais of Jader discovered a fragment of a poem in her late great-grandmother’s attic.
The Third Bow
(MDZS, wangxian)
~19k, rated M
This year's contribution to the MDZS Reverse Big Bang, wherein I was assigned the most stunningly gorgeous picture of WWX and strove to do it justice and get all the artist's ideas in. It's a feel-good fic, a bit soppy and silly, with the world's most awkward marriage proposal and just enough jealousy for a bit of plot. But mostly just a story about taking the long way around, and doing things your own way.
Finally Wei Ying drops onto the edge of the bed and blurts, ‘Lan Zhan, are we married?’
Lan Wangji’s hands freeze in place, the soft cloth slipping from between his fingers. Whatever he imagined Wei Ying was gathering the courage to say, this is a question he absolutely would not have predicted. He looks up, blindsided, to see Wei Ying shifting uncomfortably, fingers twisting in the folds of his robe.
‘We — what?’

Wei Wuxian has feelings. So does Lan Wangji. They figure it out.
