what once was your pain (will be your home), by Jenrose

Wei Wuxian frowned at the knife, brow furrowed. “You’re just… handing me your knife.”

Wen Zhuliu resisted rolling his eyes but it was a close thing. “You have a large resentful sword. It’s not as if you could not have already killed me.”

These tags deserve a rec all on their own:
'Wen Zhuliu takes 'be prepared' to another level' 'But nothing could prepare him for Wei Wuxian'

I spent much of the week spiraling finishing up my library bingo card reading, and then did a big catch-up last night of all the fic updates that I was lovingly collecting in my inbox.

“Brother suggested that if we were to have a good—” he tripped over the word. Despite everything that had happened it was still hard to use it, to believe it. “— marriage we must communicate honestly.” He looked up at Wei Ying, who was staring at him a little incredulously.

Because after S4, I think the choice to just check out and live in the woods for a while is 100% valid.

“I’m no conspiracy theorist,” Robin says, carefully taping gauze over his shoulder, “but, like, you were a fucking wolf, dude. I was a wolf. Or, uh, a particularly big husky?”

TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

“Lan-laoshi, ah,” Wei Ying says. He's smiling now, a watery smile, but a real one. “Being in your class, hearing you read the four classics aloud… it had a calming effect on me. I'll never forget what you did for me. It's actually why I went into teaching, you know. I hoped that someday, I might be like you. And then I’d be able to do the same, to help all of the other kids like me.”

Yiling Laozu was one of the biggest characters on the Sunshot LARP field. He made his own faction, raised an army of the dead, and was single-handedly responsible for destroying the yin iron economy. Unfortunately his actions caused no end of problems for the game runners - so after Yiling Laozu’s death, his player Wei Ying was very firmly asked to leave the game. Four years and a change of management later, and Wei Ying is back! Only difference - rather than being let loose on the field again, he’s crewing now and playing a stream of NPC zombies, merchants and diplomats.

While he's barred from raising the dead, he still has plenty of time for important out of character shenanigans, including but not limited to avoiding his family, poking electrical wires, corrupting the youth, and bothering Lan Zhan.

One year, four events, and a tale of campfires, love and live action roleplaying.

“Wei-xiong, you can’t keep running around like this,” Mo Xuanyu sighed a greeting as he slid the window open. “They’re going to figure it out.”

Arthur also doesn't seem worried. It's a warm day. He's wearing denim cutoffs and a tight sleeveless white shirt that says born to be a king, chose to be a queen in pink glitter.

He sits beside her in class and pulls the smallest knife she's ever seen out of his pocket, then passes the time whittling the end of one of her pencils into a tiny, tiny lion. The lecturer doesn't seem to notice.

Sometimes you listen to an audiobook, think 'wait, I wonder if this book has fanfic,' and LO!

“A simple box step should be sufficient to begin with.”

“Great plan,” Kiem says. “Box step! Love it.”

“You don’t have to know what a box step is, Kiem.”

“Oh, thank fuck.”
