   Next in my #fanfic rec thread: "Some things go forward" (73k) by everythingispoetry, a modern AU feat. teenage @wangxian in a hospital. Wwx is a volunteer after recovering from a severe illness, lwj is diagnosed with cancer. As you can guess there's a lot of hurt/comfort and it might be too raw for some, but it's a very soft fic with lots of A-Yuan cuteness and wwx kindness and the warmth of people taking care of each other.

     Today's rec is a lovely @yizhan #fanfic:
     "Anything. (Or everything.)" (19k) by T Verano tells the story of outdoor guide Wang Yibo whose client for hiking tours is burnt-out idol Xiao Zhan. The fic manages an incredible balance between tranquility in nature and banter & #YiZhan rainbow farting à la cql bts, between a tired but gentle & humble xz and an energetic wyb in full wooing / caring mode (making sure xz eats) 😍 It's perfect.

     And because I forgot to rec something yesterday, another @yizhan #fanfic favorite: The Olympian x actor AU series by Deinde (3 parts, 75k total) starting with "golden hour".

     Actor/singer Xiao Zhan is paired with cocky Olympian snowboarder Wang Yibo as part of an Olympics promotion program. There's instant attraction & banter, XZ learning to snowboard from a very physical, charismatic, indomitable Yibo, a bit of conflict over media & image.

     I have to rec this wonderful @wangxian #fanfic I read today:
     "The sculptor" (28k) by Eleanor_Fenyx is a modern AU playing in the 70s where a deeply closeted lwj is in a "lavender marriage" with lesbian wq, and becomes the model for sculptor wwx.
     The fic is very tender and sensual and treats its characters with so much respect. It's beautiful to see a vulnerable lwj loosen up slowly under wwx's gentleness.

     This is one of my absolute favorite #YiZhan #fanfic s: "The scent of happiness" (49k) by vesna (mrsronweasley). It's a famous Wang Yibo/ non-famous Xiao Zhan AU, she actually wrote Xiao Zhan as a baker before he said in an interview that that's his dream job if he left c-ent 🤩
     The fic is very soft and hot and just perfect. Wyb falls for this baker with the brilliant smile who doesn't know wyb is an idol.

     Next in my @wangxian #fanfic rec thread:

     "Water, and the open sky" (20k) by el_em_en_oh_pee is a brilliant science-fiction AU where wwx maintains a remote lighthouse in a sort of exile, lwj is an inspector who doesn't know about the punishment character of the assignment.
     The worldbuilding is exquisite, wwx's genius is front & center, lots of hurt/comfort due to starvation of human contact, bonus Wen siblings as androids.

     Another warm @wangxian #fanfic for today's #DecRecs:

     "A curse of a different color" (35k) by Nickel710 is wonderful fic that's essentially pure hurt/comfort in the best way. Lwj is turning to jade because he doesn't allow himself to feel & wwx is helping him heal 😍 With lovely family feels & ace triad jc/wq/lxc.

     The @wangxian #fanfic series "Quartet" (41k + 28k) by WithBroomBefore is really about friends / #FoundFamily. It's a fix-it starting at the cave with the divergence that wwx understands the name of the song 😍 They plus jc and jzx stay together, become a battle quartet and develop a 4-way soulbond, it's great. This story has lots of soul brothers feelings and hurt/comfort and it's very uplifting & soothing, like a hot chocolate 😊

     Another @wangxian #fanfic favorite of mine:

     "Just so" by airinshaw (21k), a modern AU where lwj makes ASMR videos and Youtuber yllz flirts with him solely bc of his hands and voice; and then they meet at a con 😍🔥 The fic captures both of their characters so well and is lovely, funny and hot.
