Another chapter of Teacher's Pet up with a second part I may post later today or tomorrow. Steadily escalating the ShinZawa relationship is giving me life, my sadomasochistic heart is thriving. But now it is starting to make me wonder... It is a multi ship fic and ShinZawa has always been listed as endgame (krbk as well) but the ShinBaku relationship is now pretty developed. Breaking them up is going to be a bummer!

(Alt ending: ShinBakuZawa lol)

(But then that begs for other alts: ShinKiriBaku, ShinKami, ShinBOWL, ShinMonoTetsu... I could go on. ShinJirouMomo. Sigh.)

New chapter of Teacher's Pet up. I can't believe this is up to 75k and I'm just starting to get somewhere with the main relationship now. (I also can't believe I picked up writing this fic again after a 4 year break.) I'm having so much fun? What the hell.

It has been very interesting to get into the heads of different characters, their voices, humor, ways of speaking and relating, to write something so indulgent yet also take it seriously. This fic is exceptionally personal to me, really coming from my own teen self (over a decade later)... but through anime characters. Who want to be super heroes. I love the absurdity of it all.

It's been so fun to dive back into MHA again, it is such a different flavor from MDZS. I'll return to my MDZS fics and I still am way more over there than MHA, but it's fun to have them both! I was worried they'd switch off (that weird anxiety of hyperfixations breaking and leaving me bereft of a source of dopamine, ya feel).

And ah, fic engagement is the best.

"...I'm not done telling you all the things that I wanted to say; there's still so much. It's been so long since anyone listened to me talk. Won't you stay?"

Heaven Official's Blessing, Vol 8

I just read that one recently! It's so good. I also had been meaning to bookmark it and read the author's other works so thank you for the reminder. 😈

I had to go hunt for the other ballroom dance one I love, Unstrictly Ballroom by Ariaste. I didn't know anything about the different ballroom dances and both of these taught me a lot about competitive dancing. Also again underlining varied my velocities above for also having fantastic gender discussion and just :chefskiss: wangxian dynamics. It's bottomji, if anyone happens to mind switching. (One of my favorite bottomji fics.)

[Also haikyu literally made me able to watch volleyball and appreciate it, I love sports anime as well despite, again, not caring for irl sports at all LOL]

Just finished Waiting for Spring by thievinghippo despite actively not giving af about baseball and had that postfic high of the closure and relief that so often comes with Wangxian. I love them so much. I love how well they can be put into so many AU and still be them. Different authors always highlight different themes from MDZS, whether it's A-Yuan, WWX's exile or sense of justice, LWJ's moral growth or clan challenges, all the side characters, family dynamics, betrayals, grief, hope... I eat it all up.

(And whew the quality smut of this fic and the fandom overall is definitely a huge plus.)

I've mostly written about Wangxian on this blog, but I thought I should mention that I am all over the place with shipping, fanart, fic, etc. I have a satosugu fic I may never actually write and I recently picked my ShinZawa fic back up. WX hits so many buttons for me, but the fandom that got me back in after years of being off Tumblr, watching anime rapidly again, writing fic and trolling for fanart... is My Hero Academia. I'm a Bakugou stan and I lost my mind over krbk a few years ago. Good times (yes, it was quarantine and we were coping LOL).

Just thought I'd throw that out there in case anyone actually paid attention to my little void space over here, so no one got surprised by the teacher/student content or disparate fandoms that don't really overlap at all. My Twitter is far more NSFW and more active, though I don't write anything there because I've never been able to stay under the character count. 😌

Through the tides of lust and passion.

@wangxian-fanfic did you mean your heartbeat, across the grass by fakeplasticlily? Also a very good one.

Some other sports ones (I cannot state enough how little of af I give about sports and I ate these up, all vary in length from one shot to long fic, rating from G to E so please take care and read tags etc):

get wild (Basketball AU with D/s) by aroceu

varied my velocities (Ballet Dancer LWJ, Soccer player WWX takes lessons; so so sooo good) by fantasiavii

are you coming backstage after the show? (wlw field hockey player WWX, tennis player LWJ) by asisoitorre

And That's The Game (wlw Volleyball AU) by YunmengLotus

the right words at the right time (wlw martial arts AU) by justpeace

(that last one is cheating because I am a martial artist and it's debatably not a sport, but I love this one so it's fine. I may or may not have my own wlw modern martial arts AU in the drafts.)

Other Modern (Non-Cultivation) AUs that high-key blew my mind:

Live from New York (Saturday Night Live AU) by Varnes

Covered in Bees (Beekeeping LWJ; such a fave) by ScarlettStorm

Where's your emergency? (911 Dispatcher WWX) by trippednfell

always coming home (eco-terrorist LWJ) by detectorist

I just... love fanfic y'all LOL.

A hundred sword strikes

i made this exactly one year ago and i still think the idea for it is good

it can happen to you every moment PSA please dont rotate 2d creatures

Sometimes I think about how Jin Ling goes by that instead of Jin Rulan and I just vividly picture his young mistress persona going like "yeah my not uncle was an unaware pining cut sleeve and my mom kind of just enabled it so... juijui and I just try to pretend it didn't happen -- it's cringe af" and I die a little in both grief and hilarity

Shen Qingqui: this man would be exactly my type if I were gay, bummer I'm not into massive heavenly perfect dicks

Wei Wuxian: this man is objectively the most attractive person to ever exist, too bad he's a boring prude made of stone who is also mad at me

Xie Lian: this man must be so beloved by his special someone, I hope our friendship doesn't get in the way of that

Meanwhile:

Luo Binghe: unconditionally obsessed for life since day 1

Lan Wangji: unconditionally obsessed for life since day 1

Hua Cheng: unconditionally obsessed for life since day 1

write fanfic for yourself. because you'll often find that you are not unique and there's a million other people out there with the same brain who want to read the exact same fanfics you do

looking through old images from my gallery and found this

⚠️ the image is not mine

studying alone on a friday night? 🤨

having ppl treat you poorly in your formative years will have you saying shit like “thank you for listening to me and respecting my boundaries” 🤦‍♀️

Mxtx love interests and their relationships with captivity are fascinating and all, but I’d rather just focus on how funny Hua Cheng’s is in particular.

We have Luo Binghe‘s creepy replica bamboo hut and the tragic horror of watching him succumb to his worst impulses and try destroying the world to trap Shen Qingqiu by his side.

We have Lan Wangji warring internally with himself for years over his smothering need to hide Wei Wuxian from the world and save him from himself.

And then there’s Hua Cheng

Professional Gege Catch and Release Wildlife Expert Hua Cheng.

This man is a gege rehabilitation facilitator who does what he loves and loves what he does.

He tags his gege with a gps tracker so he can study his migration patterns. He humanely traps and relocates his gege whenever he’s strayed into danger.

If you hit a gege with your car, all you need to do is call Hua Cheng and he’ll be there with an animal control slip leash, a GoPro to promote his TikTok campaign promoting awareness of gege welfare and conservation to the masses, and Yin Yu is on the phone preparing the treatment center for a new arrival.

He’s one of those guys who lovingly cares for a feral cat colony in his backyard, providing handmade housing with heating and regular check ups.

He’s insane don’t get me wrong. But his crippling self doubt and unbreakable compulsion to provide merged in such a weird way, it comes off a little more wildlife rescue than I think is intended.

all too familiar

The discourse around "Wei Wuxian was oblivious" or "Lan Wangji was mean and didn't show his feelings" makes me so tired.

Clearly, many people have not loved someone so much it terrified them, loved a person in such imminent danger that every interaction became tense and difficult. The desire to remove that person from danger, control the situation (or even the person themselves), see them safe makes you yourself a different person entirely.

And on the flipside, the sense of belonging and care so absent and broken that you cannot see what is in front of you. Trust so destroyed (in yourself and others) that you no longer do the work (as you were trained to) to see beyond the cruelty and control as a facade for love and care. To see yourself as a sore and soft creature, encased in a hard weaponized shell that has to fight everything every second to survive, until it no longer seems worth it.

There is no nuance in either perspective, just a profound amount of fear and a drive for survival. MDZS is about war, class disparity, violence on a massive scale that also impacts every single relationship. One of the many reasons I love the story so deeply is that, yes, we see the connection between the two and the potential for so much, but the very reasons they are soulmates -- their values, sense of justice, intensity, dedication, sincerity, etc -- are also the exact reasons there was no option for them to be together under the onslaught of systemic violence.

They both understood that in their own distorted ways, and did not have the time or space to discover what they could make together instead. I think if they had even an iota of a chance to do so -- so close, teased at in LWJ's visit to Yiling with A-Yuan -- they would have tried. But they didn't.

It's all painfully human and real and I love mxtx for that.

Wei Ying often kisses Nie Huaisang on the mouth, a gentle and quick peck, when they part ways. It makes them giggle gleefully. He always kisses his sister on the cheek, the two of them closing their eyes in a glowing affection. He sometimes kisses his brother on the forehead, even holding his cheeks tight so he can't escape, then scampers off when Jiang Cheng halfheartedly swings for him, his face bright red and bashful. He occasionally kisses Wen Ning at the temple, Wen Qing on her knuckles, even Wen Yuan gets a raspberry on his chubby child cheeks more often than not. He once blew cheeky air kisses at his sister’s husband, somehow filled with a disdainful tolerance, the act an utter mockery of affection.

He does not kiss Lan Zhan. 

Modern AU, post-college, mutual pining. Gratuitous kissing. Soft, no angst, lots of yearning. And then smut. I fed myself.

I like MXTX novels because I'm a big fan of having the "cursed by fate with Tragic Edgelord syndrome" character and the "motivated almost entirely by love and a desire to save that one guy" character hook up and kiss

I know that some people dislike the trend in fanon where WWX is ditzy or oblivious, but (aside from specific instances) I generally support his self bimboificiation. You can be a bimbo and a genius. You can be brilliant in some ways and dumb as rocks in others. The freedom of enthusiastically consenting to someone stubborn, strong, and dominant to objectify you knowing with full trust that they know your whole, competent self and love it all. There is a balance there and I think that Wangxian, even in canon, hit it. It took time and experience, a helluva lot of trust development, to get there.

Let Wei Wuxian be taken care of, objectified, consensually minimized into the tiny, malleable, soft animal of a person he wants to be. The version he only barely got to be with his shijie - xianxian is only three - and immerses himself in full with his dutiful husband.

(Lan Wangji himself then able to push, pull, manipulate, force, coerce, degrade, pamper, control, etc etc the way he desires to -- consensually, with full trust that it will be received as the fiercely devoted love and care that it is.)
