time for another #xicheng weekly spotlight!

this time, a modern Detective AU in the form of Elu_ri’s longfic "Where Embers Lie"

archiveofourown.org/works/669117...
Where Embers Lie Elu_ri Summary: They meet in a bar. It should’ve ended there. But nothing is simple—not with the Wens tightening their grip on the city, not with lines blurring between allies and enemies, and certainly not when a one-night stranger becomes something much harder to walk away from. --- Please check each chapter header for any necessary warnings.

happy #xicheng weekly spotlight!

this time we bring to you a gargantuan masterpiece with a time-travel twist: The Nine Battlegrounds (or The Art of War) by Shadow_Chaser

archiveofourown.org/works/275035...
The Nine Battlegrounds (or The Art of War) Shadow_Chaser Summary: Fate does not like to be messed with and the attempt to correct what is the proper cycle set in stone pulls in a far more grim present and future for our heroes. Now, as the Wen rule over the lands, those that traveled back in time try to right the timeline and pay their dues. Or: How messing with time-travel pulled a bad future for our heroes.

It's once again time for the #xicheng weekly spotlight!

This week we are featuring the fic Song to the Moon by RoboticNebula!

archiveofourown.org/works/24148204
Song to the Moon By RoboticNebula Summary: A spell gone awry turns Lan Wangji back into a child and Wei Wuxian crashes at Jiang Cheng’s to wait it out. As a happy side effect, this gets Lan Xichen out of seclusion. Merfolk and wizards AU in which everyone went through some shit but is slowly healing.

#Xicheng Weekly Spotlight time!

This week we're highlighting the fic Memories Over Me Do Hover by geethr75!

archiveofourown.org/works/44529289

#mdzs #chengxi #jiangcheng #lanxichen
An Ao3 Summary for the fic "Memories Over Me Do Hover" by geethr75. The Summary reads: A spell to save his husband's life lands Lan Xichen in the past So, this may be the last fic I am posting in this fandom. It should have been posted before I guess, but anyway, here it is EXTREMELY JIANG CHENG FRIENDLY

#xicheng weekly spotlight!

This week we are highlighting the fic To Love is To Be Afraid by stoneage_woman
archiveofourown.org/works/411213...

Have a fanwork you'd like to see in the spotlight? Fill out our form:
forms.gle/6NxjwycB4PoA...
to love is to be afraid by stoneage_woman Summary: Boggart yaos are deadly shapeshifters that scare their victims to death by taking the shape of their worst fears. Their true form has never been seen by anyone in recorded history…until now. A post-canon Xicheng fic. … "You wish to know why the boggart yao did not take on a form when it faced me?" he asks. "What should I have left to be afraid of, I wonder? Losing my parents, my siblings, my home? The shidis and shimeis I grew up with? Or should I fear failing my duty to my sect by remaining unmarried and heirless? Perhaps I should be scared of failing those I love the most." He risks a glance towards Wei Wuxian and Jin Ling, and instantly regrets it. Wei Wuxian is in tears, and his nephew doesn't look a whole lot better. Breathing in deeply, Jiang Cheng looks at Lan Xichen instead, drawing strength from the steadiness of his presence. "What form could a boggart yao take for me," he finishes, "when everything I ever feared has already come to pass?"

#Xicheng Weekly Spotlight!
(apologies for the delay)

This week we are highlighting the fic Peak Romance by Bideroo!
archiveofourown.org/works/27651476
Peak Romance By Bideroo Summary: It hadn't started as a contest; just a promise to do their best to keep each other entertained over the winter months. Things... devolved. (Jiang WanYin and Lan XiChen send each other The Worst Gifts Ever, and think they are HILARIOUS.)

#xicheng weekly spotlight!

This week we're highlighting the fanfiction Audience of One by WinterDreams
archiveofourown.org/works/213985...

The author can be found here:
gracer222.tumblr.com?source=share
Audience of One by WinterDreams Summary: “Then let an established star go first,” Lan Xichen interrupts again before Lan Wangji can give a stubborn reply. Both men twist toward Lan Xichen, and he smiles at Wei Wuxian’s tilted head. “If I publicly date a man for awhile first, your engagement shouldn’t receive as much backlash.” Or, that AU where everyone is famous in some way or another, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji have been dating in private for years, and Lan Xichen and Jiang Cheng pretend to date publicly for their brothers' sake.
