Reasons to get an AO3 account as a reader
Every time I see someone who reads lots of fic on AO3 but doesnāt have an account, I have to wonder if they realize how many features AO3 has just for readers. This is not an exhaustive list, but here are a few (and Iāve saved the best for last!):
Bookmarks - You probably know these exist because youāve seen them on fic you read. But did you know that you can:
Make private bookmarks that only you can see - they donāt show up when someone clicks that ābookmarksā link. Not even the author can see them. āØ
Organize your bookmarks with tags.
Filter them like you would a search.
Add your own comments/descriptions, either for your own benefit or the benefit of people looking for something to read. (Just remember that unless your bookmark is private everyone including the author can see tags & comments.)
History - AO3 can track every fic youāve ever viewed. My history is 373 pages long. However, you can delete any fic from your history with the click of a button, clear your entire history at once, or turn this off.
āMarked for Laterā - Some people use bookmarks to save fics they havenāt read yet, but thereās also a separate system for that. When youāre logged in thereās a āMark for Laterā button on each fic. Then you can filter your History down to just those Marked for Later. Once youāve read a marked fic you can then hit the āMark as Readā Ā button and it will drop off this
The downside to both the History and Marked for Later is that this system currently canāt be sorted or filtered beyond that, but it can be useful nonetheless if you want to save your Bookmarks for rereading your faves.
Locked fics - Some people lock their fics to registered users for many reasons. They donāt want their fics showing up in search engines, they donāt want bots stealing them, theyāre having a troll problem, etc. Without an AO3 account you wonāt even see that these exist.
Comment notifications - You have an inbox on AO3, and anytime anyone replies to one of your comments you will get a notification. No more having to go back and check fics to see if authors replied to you! You can also opt to get an email every time.
Customize how you see the site - You can use site skins, hide tags or warnings on fics, skip the extra step to view adult content (if youāre 18+), even customize how your browser titles the window.
Last but very much not least:
Subscribe to fics, series, or authors - I honestly donāt understand how anyone keeps up with WIPs without this.āØ
Get an email every time a new chapter is posted, or every time one of your favorite writers posts a new fic or chapter!
Donāt want to read a WIP as itās being posted? Subscribe and know as soon as the last chapter goes up.āØ
Worth getting an account just for this alone tbh. āØ
How are you living without it???āØ
(Hitting subscribe is also one more way to show an author you care, although authors canāt see subscriber #s on series.)
There are probably more, but those are the main ones. Yes, you have to wait a few days to get an account, but itās worth it. If youāre worried because you donāt want people seeing you kudos certain fics (that one tentacle fic youāll never admit to having read?) - the way login is setup itās actually super easy to log out, leave anonymous kudos, and log back in without leaving the fic. AO3 is designed by users; theyāve got your back.
And hey, if you ever decide to take the plunge and post something, thatās one step out of your way!
(And seriously, subscribing is a game-changer.)
WWX POV Fic Recs
So! As a diehard Wei Ying fan, I thought it would be rather timely to come up with a rec list that showcased him in all his clever, chaotic, charming glory. This mostly some of my more recent reads, as I tried not to duplicate recs from my top ten list and the 10 extra honorable mentions because I couldn't stop myself.
Ahem. Anyway, this is a good mix of stuff. We've got everything from accidental baby acquisition, to case fic, to monsterfucking! (You're welcome, fellow deviants. š) Happy WWX day, folks! Now onto the recs!
hold up a mirror by spookykingdomstarlight (E, 36,170)
Thoughts: Another brilliant friends to lovers fic by one of my favorite authors. They wow me every single time, no exaggeration. In this one Wei Ying is lonely. Heās also tired of being set up on blind dates by his concerned brother when he stumbles upon the fact that Lan Zhan is pining for some idiot who has somehow failed to see how great he is. Obviously them pretending to date will solve both of these problems. Jiang Cheng will get off his back, & theyāll be able to make Lan Zhanās crush jealous enough to realize what heās missing. Cue me banging my head against my desk while muttering about their joint stupidity, & we have the recipe for yet another fic making it to my favorites list.
(we've got) time for one more by impossibletruths (E, 71,504)
Thoughts: I felt Wei Yingās longing in my bones in this fic. For the music, for Lan Zhan, for all the things that couldāve been. He was such a good dad to AāYuan, & their relationship was so touching. I cried several times in this fic, one of which was inspired by Wei Ying & the Jiang siblings trio. The feelings surrounding them & the planning of Yanliās wedding were so bittersweet with canon lurking in the background. I really loved getting to see it come together differently here, though. Seeing Lan Zhan through Wei Yingās eyes was also a huge treat here, & I loved their dynamic, angst & all. This was a great fic, highly recommended!
Stumbling Into You by Magnolia822 (E, 39,332)
Thoughts: I really enjoyed this one. Wei Ying & Lan Zhanās relationship felt very soft here, & sometimes I love that. It really worked with the whole tone of the fic. I liked Lan Zhanās characterization in particular, which was neat since the story is told from Wei Yingās perspective. There was a touch of angst, mostly towards the end, but the fic definitely earned its happy ending tag. I recommend it if you enjoy college AUs & our boys being soft idiots in love.
Tripped at Every Step by brooklinegirl (E, 28,758)
Thoughts: This fic was such a fun read. Wei Yingās confusion was just delightful, & seeing Lan Zhan shower him with love in every way he knew how was breath-takingly sweet. There was a lot of fun teasing & banter, as well as an incident with a hickey that had me laughing until I cried. Nothing hurt in this, & I appreciated that so much because sometimes you just need a little softness. This did that just right. I highly recommend it.
The Golden Cutsleeve by syrus_jones (E, 77,020)
Thoughts: This is one of the most glorious things Iāve ever read in my life. I am not exaggerating when I say that. I cannot tell you how many times I laughed so hard I cried. This fic was hilarious, sexy, & full of Wei Ying being his chaotic best self. I nearly lost my mind at how hot some of the smut was, & it definitely earned the Crack Taken Seriously & Porn with Feelings tags. Iām not normally a crack fic person, so my ringing endorsement of this fic should not be taken lightly. 10/10, will absolutely read it again. As should you!
so take my hand (take my whole life too) by cicer (E, 92,343)
Thoughts: This is the second accidental baby acquisition fic I read for Wangxian, & A-Yuan is much younger here, not even a year old. There are lots of cute baby moments, including Wei Ying & Lan Zhan figuring out how to be parents together on the fly. Wei Ying had a huge crush on Lan Zhan and was, of course, convinced that Lan Zhan didnāt like him back. He is very, very stupid, but thatās okay because heās obviously always very wrong about that. I laughed a lot at this fic, but it was also very touching. Not a whole lot of angst here besides the unfortunate reason for A-Yuan being left with them, but those subjects arenāt graphically described or deeply gone into.
In Love and War by Cataclysmic_Calamity (E, 68,321)
Thoughts: This is A/B/O dynamics done right & is easily the best of the trope that Iāve read for this ship. Mind the tags, of course, but I do recommend this if Omegaverse is your thing. Wei Yingās plan to make himself insufferable didnāt go quite as well as heād hoped, & before he knew it he was suffering the indignity of falling in love with his own husband. The nerve! Haha. Thereās a good amount of angst, & the depth of feeling was gripping. I also enjoyed the side pairing of SangCheng. This author wrote a Hualian fic thatās one of my favorite fanfics period, so that certainly lends itself to the quality of the writing.
Full Moon Blues by Unforth (E, 39,034)
Thoughts: Alright monsterfuckers, this oneās for you. Itās exactly what youād expect. Wei Yingās phobia of dogs plays a large role. The depiction of panic attacks is very visceral in this fic, so be warned if thatās an issue for you. The angst is all emotional in nature & does pass eventually, leading to the star of this fic, the fucking. Oh my goodness, the fucking. The smut is so hot it nearly melted my face off! If you like werewolf sex, youāre in for a treat here. But don't let that fool you, their emotional connection is just as satisfying as the smut! I recommend anything by Unforth, to be honest. Iāve loved everything Iāve read by them.
for sale: eboy bathwater, never used by lewdwife (E, 25,123)
Thoughts: This was absolutely hilarious, boarderline Crack Treated Seriously almost. The Sugar Daddy thing is a sort of almost/but not really kind of thing, but I honored the authorās tag anyway. I could feel the convention energy as Wei Ying & the gang geared up for it, & it was a whole lot of fun. The smut was absolutely filthy & very, very good. I definitely recommend this one. It was adorable.
a stone to break your soul, a song to save it by rikke (M, 179,769)
Thoughts: Despite this being rated Mature it actually does contain smut! Itās maybe tame smut compared to most Explicit rated fics, but Iāve always found there to be a very fine line between the two ratings that no one can really agree on. I digress, though. This fic is plot-heavy & plot-driven. Itās an interesting case fic that also features an arranged marriage between Wei Ying & Lan Zhan in order to redeem Wei Ying in the eyes of the cultivation world after the events at Qiongqui Path. The Wens end up being sheltered by the Lans at Cloud Recesses instead of the Burial Mounds as a result. I enjoyed the twists & turns of this, & watching them slowly get closer was as rewarding as always. There was some interesting cultivation theory featured as well.
More Wangxian Faves: Post-Canon & Canon Divergent
This list was made to honor the request in the notes on my WWX recs post from @100percentserenity for some more fics featuring Wei Ying set in canon or canon divergent fics. Now, not all of these are strictly from his POV, but they all feature him at his quick-witted, charming, & hopelessly oblivious best. Canon divergent can be a pretty wide category, so do keep that in mind if you see a rec & think, "This isn't very canonical.." Haha. There are two repeats from my first Wangxian rec list, but they fit the ask & are both excellent & worth mentioning twice! Now, in no particular order, may I recommend:
Far Away You Are by cqlorphan (E, 17,358)
Thoughts: I absolutely loved the idea of the esteemed Hanguan-jun being this not-so-secret purveyor of comfort hugs & heartache advice. Wei Yingās shock upon finding this out was so funny I couldnāt help but laugh, & my amusement only intensified when he made the scary Yiling Laozu face while asking who broke Lan Zhanās heart, only to be told it was him whoād done so. I wanted to hug all the Juniors myself. Theyāre all so very precious. This was a lovely story where very little hurt in the end, & sometimes thatās just nice after the gut punch that canon gives us.
my age has never made me wise by idrilka (E, 63,439)
Thoughts: I absolutely loved this. It was pretty CQL (The Untamed) compliant & told the post-canon story of Wei Ying wandering alone as a rogue cultivator after the events of the show. Of course he was pining after his zhiji the entire time, so when he heard gossip that the Chief Cultivator might be married by summer's end it nearly undid him. The angst was excruciating, but One Brain Cell WWX Strikes Again fics somehow always manage to be fun at the same time. I've read several post-canon, wandering Wei Ying stories, & this one was particularly good.
Not What We May Be by brooklinegirl (E, 29,222)
Thoughts: I love Wei Yingās cleverness in this. Heās his usual irreverent, chaotic, charming self, & I never get tired of how wonderfully his mind works. The odd phenomenon occurring in the town heās staying in was an interesting mystery to solve, & I had to laugh when Lan Zhan arrived with the usual Lan Juniors ensemble in tow. Watching them all work together to figure out how to fix the issue while also dealing with the healthy side helping of oblivious Wei Ying & searing sexual tension between him & Lan Zhan was a fun treat.
All Caught Up by brooklinegirl (E, 36,934)
Thoughts: Wei Ying proposing to Lan Zhan to get him out of an arranged marriage he didnāt want is so something heād do. There is no character more quintessentially chaotic good than Wei Ying. You canāt change my mind. The practice kissing was a lovely regular feature from this author, & my particular favorite thing in this fic was Nie Huaisangās cameo as their pseudo wedding planner with his classic meddling while insisting heās useless shenanigans. This was super cute. I liked it a lot.
love, in fire and blood by cicer (E, 360,042)
Thoughts: This was an example of a cool MDZS-specific trope I hadn't seen before, & in it Wei Ying, the infamous Yiling Patriarch, was a cultivator who had achieved immortality (aka, he's OP as fuck but in a fun way). The great sects enlisted his help to win the Sunshot Campaign, & what did he demand in return? Lan Zhan's hand in marriage, of course! It was a fantastic slow burn in which poor Lan Zhan suffered the mortifying ordeal of falling in love with his own husband. An amazing & complex plot, chock-full of angsty goodness.
Birthday Party by waffles_4_breakfast (E, 100,123)
Thoughts: I loved the idea that Wei Ying would actually get to attend Jin Ling's one month celebration, but I was, of course, still concerned about the continued danger he'd be in. This fic nicely showcased Wei Ying's sharp wit, charm, & ever-present sass. I also loved his dramatics when it came to his interactions with Lan Zhan (and in general, of course, haha), but their sweetness together was ultimately my favorite thing about them. The continued threat to Wei Ying's life & all the plotting surrounding it was interesting, but the best things about this fic were the characters & their bonds with each other.
Fentao-laoshi's Guide to Cut-Sleeve Pleasures by occultings (E, 31,775)
Thoughts: This was set during the Cloud Recesses Study Arc, & it was so, so good. The sexual tension between them was just simmering the entire time, & the idea of them āpracticing for marriageā on each other was fucking hilarious. Their banter was top notch, & I absolutely loved Lan Zhanās nearly overwhelming desperation for Wei Ying, not to mention Wei Yingās bullshit getting him in over his head (as usual, but this time in a fun way, haha). The feelings were actually very sweet, too. I enjoyed this a lot.
wide enough and wild by impossibletruths (E, 64,120)
Thoughts: I love the tag āNoping Out Of Society With Your Boyfriend And Your 50 Wen Refugees: The Novelā. It made me laugh before Iād even started the fic. While this was set during the time period in which Wei Ying frees the Wen refugees, they didnāt end up in Yiling this time. I wonāt get too specific, but they still ended up rebuilding their own little settlement & farming to survive, basically. Lan Zhan found them & decided to stay. The slow burn was so good, & I loved the pining in particular. I cried a couple of times in this. It really was just that good.
your problem as a mountain. by cupofwater (E, 30,989)
Thoughts: It was so cute to see the difference between Wei Yingās & Nie Huaisangās fantasies, & Wei Yingās turning out to be more vanilla & romantic in nature absolutely cracked me up. I nearly hurt myself laughing when Nie Mingjue sent Lan Zhan some of the letters by mistake, & I was delighted by Lan Zhanās reaction. I wonāt spoil it, but the smut was lovely & despite the misunderstanding our boys definitely both got their happy ending, haha.
The Vermilion Ribbon by Unforth (E, 233,368)
Thoughts: This sat on my Marked For Later list on AO3 for the longest time, & I really did myself a disservice by not reading it sooner. It was absolutely fantastic. The world-building, pacing, & intricate plot were all brilliantly done, & Wei Ying being in the Wen clan was nothing like I imagined it was going to be in this. Instead of his core family being the Jiangs, we get Wen Qing in Jiang Yanliās role & Wen Ning in Jiang Chengās. Now Iāll warn you that this got super heavy in some places, so mind those tags & take care of yourselves. Nothing was graphic enough that I had to stop reading, but it didnāt shy away from the serious subject matter it covered either. The whole fic was a real emotional roller coaster, & I canāt recommend it highly enough.
