   "These things unseen" (34k) by bonyenne is a very soft #WangXian canon fix-it #fanfic where wwx wakes up after 3d from wq's needles with a fevered A-Yuan in his arms, and his priority becomes saving him. Changing pov with lwj who's searching for his zhiji. Enter xxc, sl, bssr and ly 🤩 Lots of comfort & care, also plenty of child acquisition :D The only angst is wwx's non-existent self-worth, and his new maternal figures know how to deal with that 😍

     "Down by the water" (60k) by astrolesbian is an incredibly beautiful #WangXian surfer AU #fanfic. I felt like my chest was open & my heart exposed the entire time. Perfect characterization, insecure, awkward lwj pov & sun-like, hot wwx, told via effective time jumps, angst is all in the past.

     "Where the nightingales are singing..." (33k) by moominmammashandbag is a non-magical history AU #fanfic where #WangXian were in an early arranged marriage before wwx reportedly died in battle. Years later lwj oversees an exchange of prisoners of war. Not angsty!

     Written in a wonderful dry humor voice, with (pseudonymous) famous romantic poet and hilariously petty lwj who doesn't let anyone forget their crimes against wwx.

     "A clan of ghosts" (31k) by @twigofwillow is a lovely fix-it AU #cql #fanfic told from Wen Qing's pov. It diverges when wwx and the Wens get a warning from lqy about a trap, leading to wwx's Burial Mounds family expanding in surprising ways. Beautifully told, great characterization and dialogue, and the found family feels are strong. I was especially happy to see wq adopt new family & friends. This really touched me.

     Come home to my heart (30k) by occultings is a canon divergent #WangXian #fanfic where our favorite oblivious boys suffer a body swap curse after the Sunshot campaign. Some shenanigans ensue (but no slapstick humor), the fic is funny, soft and lighthearted, with lots of tender, bittersweet pining that becomes mutual after an initially slightly obnoxious wwx has some revelations.

     Wishes inked beneath your skin (6k) by Suspicious_Popsicle is a sweet #WangXian modern AU #fanfic with wwx as brilliant cultivator/tattoo artist (very special tattoos) & lwj in love. Although relatively short it captures wwx's essence & lwj's feelings so incredibly well. There's a dash of sadness / a sense of loss (loving parents, wwx living in hiding) but it's a very positive fic.

     Ok, starting with recs for short fics!

     All the silver moons (10k) by milkcrates is the softest post-canon #WangXian getting together #fanfic ever, starts with wwx caring for an injured lwj.
     https://archiveofourown.org/works/27518185

     You and me, babe, how about it? (8k) by ilip13 is a peaceful, happy alternate canon AU where wwx, hesitant before a major life decision, "kidnaps" a very willing lwj for his birthday.

     "Salvaged" (15k) by Winglesss is a sci-fi #WangXian #fanfic where wwx finds broken android lwj in the landfill Burial Mounds and repairs him. It's very soft with some hurt/comfort (initially lwj can't speak or walk), a sweetly tactile lwj, some cute Wen & wwx found family and some brother feels.

     "A series of firsts" by Pip includes 6 short fics of 12k altogether. It's modern #WangXian getting together and dating, and it's just the cutest and fluffiest, plus hilarious dialogue & narration.
