So has anyone mentioned that Grace’s embroidery project she’s working on when Diego shuts her off looks like a moon with a chunk detaching from it? I can’t get a screenshot because Netflix seems to be able to block them, but I just noticed this on my third (3rd) rewatch last night.

Oh my god you’re right!

Did Grace know?

Jiang Yanli does Legally Blonde

Winning in the courtroom with the power of soup!

When it began, jiang yanli was a girl with everything, a rich family, two lovinf brothers, and a beautiful finance who was going to go to college with her (she’s taken a few years off for her health, but now she’s got the chance!)

Or so there parents planned, simce the two of them are in a rather old-fashioned arranged marriage

But while they’re waiting for their acceptance letters, Jin Zixuan grows more and more distant, before angrily revealing he doesn’t want to go with her, because he “doesn’t want to be stuck in some mediocre school with miss mediocre”

And he says this to her face, in the middle of a party their parents had organized.

Jiang yanli js devistated, and even her brother punching him in the face does not make her feel better. Her engagement is annulled, and the man she loved thinks only the worst of her.

But jiang yanli has her pride. She would have let him go his own way and never crossed paths again…except…

In that one summer, everything goes wrong. Her parents die in a car crash that was obviously premeditated but no one can prove it. Her father’s buisness goes under and all of their money is left to the Wens, who havr some how became the beneficiaries over his own childern, even if jiang yanli knows there’s no way her mother would ever agree to it.

She loses jiang cheng to fostercare (he’s still 17) because apparently she “can’t provide him proper stability” and wei ying, newly turned 18, goes missing after trying to investigate their parents deaths.

Now with no way forward, and a need for a high ranking job stat, jiang yanli turns to the only option she has left: the Harvard application she had secretly applied too to surpise her then fiance

But its fine! Its not like he’d go to harvard! Its so focused and uptight! He has so many other options…

Nope. He’s here. And the first thing he does when he sees her is stand up and shout to the whole class “Are You Stalking Me?!!!!”

Jiang yanli: … (deep breath and under her breath) think about ur brothers think about ur brothers

Jin zixun: who did u bribe to get in?

Jiang yanli: i applied and got accepted, the same as everyone else.

Jin zixun, who had to bribe the dean to get in: ….

Then class begins, and its even worse. Jiang yanli is not made for this kind of harsh lifestyle. She keeps seeing the best in the clients, doesn’t approve of the dirty tricks, and is all around having a bad time

And when class ends, jin zixuan leaves with a girl on his arm, who jiang yanli is pretty sure is called mianmian, and always used to hang around jun zixuan when they were together. Was she who jun zixuan really loved?

(Mianmian is not dating jun zixuan. She would not date him if u paid her. But she is his best friend. And you can bet she’s gonna cal him out for making this all about him)

Also jiang yanli’s financial status gets leaked, and nasty rumors are spreading about how she’s chasing the riches she used to have by trying to get jin zixuan back. Now the rich students don’t want to hang out with her, and the scholarship students think she thinks she’s better than them so they don’t want to hang out with her either

Jiang yanli doesn’t realize this until she shows up to what she was told was a costume party in traditional chinese dress only to find it is not one.

But she’s not the only one in this predicament, because Meng Yao got invited too, and came in a traditional chinese costume too, albeit a cheaper made one.

Jin zixun starts making fun of meng yao, teasing him for wearing a “dress” and having no sense of porpriety, and being a bastard bottom feeder son of a whore-

And then jiang yanli shows up. Jiang yanli has had quite enough of the Jins by this point. But she has an advantage meng yao lacks, she had to grow up with them. She knows their Weakenesses.

It takes her five minutes to completely dress Jin zixun down, make him look like the unreasonable and uneducated fool for making fun her her and meng yaos costumes, and meng yao look noble in compairison

then she proceeds to link arms with meng yao and drag him around the room with her, the very image of a beautiful couple costume that every other couple should envy

Now jiang yanli doesn’t actually know who meng yao is, nor does she realize he’s not another student, but actually a grad student who’s passed the bar, but she is thrilled to meet someone so nice who is willing yo listen to her rant about how hard law is

Meng yao is hers now. He is not getting rid of her. He is small and nice and clearly needs hugs and soup. And goddamnit she misses having someone to spoil!

Meng yao doesn’t know what’s going on, he doesn’t know what this lady’s angle is, but he’s more than willing to teach her how to study in exchange for some soup and spoiling

He’s definitely thought about marrying her. It would definitely humiliate jin zixuan if his fiance chose his bastard brother over him. But she’s just so sisterly anything romantic feels incestuous (rip canon jiggy) besides, he doesn’t need to date her. Because everyone else already thinks they’re a couple

Including jin zixuan, who absolutely got an earful about losing jiang yanli to “that bastard” from his mother

Meng yao makes certain jun zixuan gets a front row seat to seeing what a wonderful and caring person jiang yanli is …and how meng yao is treating her SO MUCH better!

Cue jin zixuan seething with jealousy when he sees meng yao holding the door open for jaing yanli, who gives him that beautiful smile, did she ever smile at him like that?

Mianmian: i thought you wanted her to leave you alone? Why are you getting jealous now she’s clearly not thinking about you?

Jin zixuan: I DONT KNOW!!!

So with meng yao’s help, jiang yanli is doing so much better in the courtroom, so good that she ends up as an intern with jin zixuan and mianmian.

Jiang yanli is thrilled! Her plan to save her family is going so well!

Then she meets the client, and that becomes way more relevant

Because its wei ying

Wei ying who is suspected of the murder of wen ning, and her teacher is trying to get him to plead guilty.

Now jiang yanli has to win this case, and prove him completely innocent, even when he’s refusing to tell her what really happened

To make matters worse, her teacher gets her alone in typical legally blond fashiom, puts the moves on her, gets rejected, and subsequently fires her

Jin zixuan walks in on them before things get bad, giving jiang yanli the chance to escape, but jiang yanli can see the disgust in his eyes and knows what he thinks of her

She’s about to leave when she runs into of all people, Wen Qing, who comes with proof wei ying didn’t kill wen ning, that wen ning is alive and hiding in a hospital, and begs her to save wei ying

And jiang yanli isn’t about to abandon her brother, no matter waht anyone thinks of her

And because this is legally blonde universe, and no one needst to pass the bar to represent in court, she’s going to take her brothers case from her teacher and save the day!

Meanwhile jun zixuan realizes he has the mortifying task of telling his half-brother his girlfriend who is jin zixuan’s ex girlfriend was cheating with the teacher

Not that meng yao seems to believe him

Did she offer him soup?

No!

Then she’s not interested in him

But he was…shw was…

A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do…unless u’ve got some kind of problem with sec work?” Mwng yao glares and jin zixuan realizes who he’s talking too

Mianmian interupts their argument of womens rights to poimt out that “you left her alone with that teacher? Famed sex offender?? Did either of you even think to warn her??? WTF???”

Oh. Goes Meng yao, rolling up his sleeves. That is a very different situation

So meng yao takes on the supervisory role for jiang yanli so she can represent wei ying

Jin zixuan uses his power and influence (and nepotism) to get mianmian and jiang yanli’s case against the teacher through the school board faster

And mianmian is here with the common sense

So jiang yanli manages to save the day, by proving thst not only was wen ning still alive, but wei ying was savinf him from his uncle who had planned to kill him off for tryinf to prove he stole the jiang buisness

When the dust settles, jiang yanli has got her brother back, her fortune in the process of being restored, and finally a steady enough job to get jiang cheng’s custody transfered back to her

And also a very, very apologetic jin zixuan, who is very determined to make it up to her through very expensive gifts (like helping her get said custody of jiang cheng)

She’s willing to let him be “a friend” again, but meng yao puts him through two more years of assuming he’s a third wheel before letting him know he and jiang yanli aren’t a couple and she’s prob take him back if he begged really hard.

And in the end, jiang yanli becomes a world famous lawyer, with a rich trophy husband a buisness partner in meng yao, and two brothers who will not stop giving her trouble

New to your blog, I was wondering if you have a Merlin fic rec list that's just your favorites. I unfortunately missed the Merlin fandom back when the show was airing so I always feel like I'm just missing the greatest stuff from other people

Hello friend! Welcome to my humble abode of a blog (which resembles more of a Merlin waste disposal). Like you, I missed the show when it was airing, but honestly when you stay as long in this fandom as I have, you will constantly be exposed to wonderful creative energies that give their all. It's a timeless fandom, one of the very few, and no matter when you enter it you will always feel fulfilled. :)

So, favourite fics! Gosh, how can I fit 2K+ bookmarks in one ask. When it comes to this fandom, I admit: I have no life. I've read a real huge number of fics throughout the years, but with that comes the issue of forgetting. I try to bookmark as much as I can to remind myself, but sometimes it's inevitable for fics to get lost in a sea of bookmarks. So to make things easier, I'll write you some canon fics that immediately come to my mind for how unforgettable they were.

No order; each one has its own chamber in my heart.

Short fic recs (1K-50K)

1. Our broken pieces by @aramblingjay. 10K, T, Canon Era, Hurt/Comfort.

Am I purposefully putting this one on top this time so that everyone who stumbles across this ask could check it out? Yes. Yes I am. Is it my personal mission for the fandom to give this fic the love and kudos it deserves? You bet it's a big overbearing yes. And yes I want you to cry and feel your heart twist with agony because of how beautiful it is. My eyes never shed tears for a fic before this one, and never will after it. There is something in the way the author broke Arthur that just resonated in my innards. And the way Merlin was there for him, not a placebo "I'm here" but there, in all actuality, doing so with every fiber of his love, made it something else. I like to believe that this fic was crafted so perfectly in a parallel universe, and sent to us as a blessing we never knew we needed.

2. Beauty in the Ashes of Our Lives by Fulgance. 21K, T, Canon AU, Magic Reveal.

This is probably the umpteenth time for me to recommend this fic, but I won't stop. I can't stop. This fic ruined me so slowly, and healed me even slower. All my Merlin friends do not believe why this would be one of my favourite fics of all time with what Arthur did, but honestly, it's the fact that the writer wrote it so convincingly that makes me crumble internally. It isn't easy to write angry Arthur, and it's even harder to write him grief-stricken, but here, the author blended both elements so perfectly. It's impossible to forget this fic. It's worth your every second.

3. Linger On Your Pale Blue Eyes by supercalvin. 18K, T, Canon Era, Touch-Starved.

Will this fic linger in your heart? It sure as hell never leaves mine. Every once in a while, I have to go back to this fic and read it like a morning paper. Some fics sustain you.. this is definitely one of them. Most of @supercalvin's fics are of sustaining material. They are made with such depth and broad understanding to the characters that you should take notes. There's this one line that everytime I cross this fic I instantly remember and I go to the nearest pillow to just AAA a little bit. When you reach it, I'm sure you'll recognise it, and I'll be waiting for you to come AAA with me.

4. Dower the Stars by RurouniHime. 40K, E, Golden Age, Pining Arthur, BAMF Merlin.

I don't think anything levels the levels of intimacy in this fic. It is one of the best Arthur characterizations I've ever read. His boundless love and pining for Merlin— oh my heart. Also, the world building and amount of research that must have been done for this fic is astounding. I was this close from following the author's footsteps and, idk, writing an entire research paper about Arthurian lore or something. The moment I read it I immediately wanted to contact the author and just tell them WHY ARE YOU BLESSING US WITH ALL THIS INSTEAD OF PUBLISHING IT?? It was amazing. I reread it a month ago for the third (fourth?) time and found myself gasping and aweing as if I never read it before. It keeps being an experience every time, one so worthwhile.

5. To the point of fear by Imagined. 10K, T, Canon AU, POV Mordred, Magic Reveal.

I found this fic through this gifset by the very talented @theedorksinlove, and let me tell you, my thumb almost fell off searching so quickly for it. And it didn't disappoint. It didn't do anything but make my heart cry for the beauty of these two characters that I keep loving over and over from the introspections of such creative souls in our fandom. This was a window to their relationship, so tender and to the point. If anything, it makes you love them to the point of obsession.

6. Chain of Secrets by @remuscariad. 4K, G, Canon AU, Magic Reveal, Hurt/Comfort.

Earthshatteringly-poetic isn't a made-up word powerful enough to describe the beauty of prose here. There are fics that you open and immediately know that you're sold: this was one of them. Its summary alone dropped my jaw down to my neighbour's floor. The dialogue is so meticulously crafted it feels like reading a piece from a past era. Genuinely beautiful.

7. Half of my soul by marvelxpendragon. 2K, G, Post-Canon AU, King Arthur/Court Sorcerer Merlin.

This fic is half of my soul, as the poets say. So what if I reject the canonic ending and resort to pain myself with fics like this instead? I sometimes feel we, as a fandom, try to up the angst of the finale so that we forget how painful it was by bringing even MORE pain. But it's pain that I delight in, because it's pain that MAKES SENSE. Yes give me MCD but with a freaking beautiful life like the one this author gave us. Make me believe it was all worth something. Make me believe they lived.

8. whisper to the flame by @missfaber. 16K, E, Canon AU, Wounded Arthur, Hurt/Comfort.

*clears throat* *prepares for a mental scream*TELL ME HOW YOU LIGHT YOUR FIRESSSSS *clears throat once more and pretends I'm okay*

So, as the author wrote, this is indeed a love letter to the two characters we love more than anything. More than anything, I loved the fact that the author gave Arthur agency to think and act and be a king, even when he was still a prince. Even in most fics where Arthur already knows, this isn't common. So whenever I find a fic that has Smart!Arthur and a lovesick one at that, I would vouch my life and soul for it. Also Protective!Knights is the best thing in the world, ok? I would die for this discourse for real.

9. As a Sea Shell by bathilda bagshot (wellthengameover). 12K, T, Canon AU, Slow Burn.

Okay, so this fic is only bookmarked "Agony until 7 AM", and with that, a rush of drowning memories always come crushing my soul. I lost sleep and SANITY over this fic. I was thrown from a cliff and kept hanging in the air without a respite until the very END. I read it a couple weeks after the finale and it broke me even FURTHER. I was promised growing old together, and it was a big LIE. And yet I love it so, so dearly.

Honourary biased mention:

10. My heart is readily yours by yours truly. 11K, T, Canon AU, Protective Arthur, Hurt/Comfort.

Sometimes I don't believe I had it in me to write this. Like.. what, dearest self, the hell were you thinking. With tyismso, I somehow balanced fluff and angst— a solid magic reveal fic. But this one? I only knew ✨pain✨

.. and I don't regret a thing.

”I’m just a kid from Brooklyn.”

A tribute to one of the best characters of the MCU, brought to magnificent life thanks to the hard work of Chris Evans. He not only gave us a living incarnation of Captain America but imbued him with the best of his personality and vulnerabilities. 

Thank you for 8 years of the best Steve Rogers we could’ve hoped for, and no matter what happens in Endgame, we’re with you until the end of the line, Cap.

Floriography by ms_134340 (15k)

Summary: Wei Ying wasn’t planning for things to get out of hand like this. Honestly, he just wanted to get flowers for his precious sister after all the help and support she had given him the past few years. He wasn’t even planning to get the flowers at that particular shop. He would have bought the flowers at the shop near jiejie’s house if not for the shop catching A-yuans eye. (Or Wei Ying and his son meet a handsome florist and both fall in love with him)

Tags: flowershop au, modernau, Single Dad Wei Wuxian, flowers as a love language, fluff with angst.

Notes: So, whose hungry for single dad Wei Wuxian and soft, adorable, A-Yuan today? I know I was when I opened the document… it’s incredibly sweet, probably could be labeled as tooth-rotting fluff, and Wei Wuxian is just so spot on. I love Lan Wangji, because he’s such a softie here. Please enjoy.

Do remember to give kudos, comments, and so so much love to the author!

Review:

Another day, another perfect pick me up Stucky fic :)

This fic is short but sweet with a touch of sexy foreshadowing. As with any of our more compact stories, I won’t say too much so I don’t ruin it but I will say that the banter game in this fic is on point and fantastic. Bucky is sassy, teasing, and totally has a read on poor befuddled Steve and I am so here for it!

I loved this fic and if you too love sassy banter, I highly encourage you to check this one out.
