The Best Part Of Far From Home Was When Ned Says Europeans Love Americans And Every Single One Of Us

So we had to write a short Airbnb ad for my English class (I'm Dutch by the way) and we have this saying for when you go for a walk when it's windy, "uitwaaien" or translated "to blow out". This was a warning our book gave us before we started writing the ads....

40 The Untamed Fic Recs

Thanks to these, the Pandemic Times, I’ve gathered enough good fics for The Untamed to make a pretty killer rec list, if I do say so myself. Most are Wei Wuxian/Lan Wangji, but I have ventured off into other wildernesses as well. Most notably, I’ve gotten very into my Yunmeng Trio feelings and love for the juniors. I’ll tag accordingly, so you know what’s what. 

As ever, feel free to reblog. 

Check out my other fic rec lists:

IT Chapter 2 fic parts one and two  - Reddie

Author’s Summary:

Wen Qing ✓ @qingwenn Listen, kids. You might think you know everything there is to know about yourself but you really don’t. Be willing to grow and learn from your mistakes. Yes this is about the fact that I once dated a man and am now married to a woman.

Wen Qing ✓ @qingwenn @wei_wifi This is, in fact, exactly what I’m saying.

🐇 ALL YOUR WAVES AND BREAKERS BY ILIP13

💕 Pairing: Wangxian  │ Pandemic / Quarantine Fic │ Status: Completed  │ One shot 

Author’s summary: Wei Ying huddles even further into himself and looks at Lan Zhan through long, enchanting eyelashes. “Is it really okay that I stayed for so long?”

I love you, the words refuse to spill from Lan Zhan’s mouth. I missed you so much. You could stay forever and that would more than okay.

“You are always welcome here,” Lan Zhan says instead. Maybe one day, on a better day, he will say the actual words that he wants, means to say.

—

Five times Wei Ying asks to stay, and one time Lan Zhan does the asking.

🐇 YEAR OF NIGHT CALL BY AILURIDAE (ABIGAILNICOLE)

💕 Pairing: Wangxian (Doctor!Lan Wangji x Doctor!Wei Wuxian)  │ Doctors AU - Hospital AU  │ Status: Completed  │ One shot │ Colleagues & Friends to Lovers  │ the Lan Babies are surgery interns

Author’s Summary: Very few jobs give you the perfect storm of moral high ground, manic energy, and being a huge dick to people on the regular that Wei Wuxian finds so satisfying about trauma surgery. However, they don’t call it trauma for its psychological wellness. A year of q2 36 hour call would be unbearable if Lan Wangji weren’t the other fellow that he shares a call bed with.

A “What If All The Cultivators Were Surgeons?” AU.

🐇R/RELATIONSHIPS BY VESPERTINEFLORA

💕 Pairing: Wangxian │ Modern AU - Social Media AU - Viral Reddit post │ Status: Completed  │ One Shot │ Friends to Lovers

Author’s Summary:  Lan Zhan has been in love with his best friend for nearly a decade and despite his attempts, has never managed to confess.Now that Wei Ying’s lease is almost up, there’s a chance he’ll be moving in with him soon, and Lan Zhan isn’t sure that’s something he’ll survive…The impending stress leads to a drink, which in turn leads to a desperate Reddit post that goes viral and attracts attention and advice from… well, none other than Wei Ying, resulting in a series of failed attempts at getting Wei Ying to realize just how Lan Zhan feels about him.

🐇 SYNESTHESIA BY UCHIUCHI

💕Pairing:  Wangxian (College Student!Lan Wangji x College Student!Wei Wuxian) │ College AU │ Status: Completed  │ One shot │ Strangers to Lovers

Author’s summary: When the darkness fades away and a face pops up, Wei Ying almost falls out of his chair.

What the fuck, he thinks. What the fuck what the fuck what the fuck.

Wei Ying counts to three, takes a breath, then shoots upwards. “Sorry, I dropped my pen,” he says, not even trying to make his lie sound convincing, because what the fuck, Lan Zhan is gorgeous. He has the brightest eyes Wei Ying’s ever seen, the nicest, longest eyelashes, and black hair draping over his shoulder. This guy has clearly won the lottery of attractive genes, which means he must be lacking in something else, like maybe his voice—

“It’s fine.”

WHAT THE FUCK, Wei Ying thinks. WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK.

(In which Wei Ying and Lan Zhan, students from different universities, are assigned to complete a senior project together.)

🐇 SOME THINGS GO FORWARD BY EVERYTHINGISPOETRY 

💕 Pairing:  Wangxian (Cancer Patient!Lan Wangji x Volunteer!Wei Wuxian) │ Hospital AU - Sick Fic  (with Happy Ending)│ Status: Completed │ Chapters: 14 │ Strangers to Lovers

Summary:  “Sooo pretty” doesn’t really do it justice: it’s the most beautiful human being he’s ever seen. The jade-like pale skin. The cheekbones. The lips. The eyes, oh heavens, those eyes, and the insane waist-long hair. Wei Ying has studied art for a while now, but really, it all pales in comparison. In which Lan Zhan is a patient, Wei Ying is a volunteer (and a previous patient of the same hospital) and there is some falling in love.

🐇 THESE THINGS STAY THE SAME BY NOTEVENYOU

💕 Pairing: Wangxian (Lan Wangji x Journalist!Wei Wuxian) │Setting: Modern AU - Kid Fic │ Status: Completed │ One shot │ Friends to Lovers

When Lan Wangji buys the house, Wei Wuxian fully intends to drive him off too. Except Lan Wangji is beautiful, and interesting, and captivating company - even if he supposedly doesn’t know Wei Wuxian exists.

🐇 PAINT SMEARS ON SUNNY DAYS BY SNOWSHADOWAO3

💕 Pairing: Wangxian (Single Parent / Music Composer!Lan Wangji x Kindergarten Art Teacher!Wei Wuxian)│ Modern Setting: Kid Fic │ Status: Completed  │ Chapters: 5 

Author’s summary: To say that he runs to his car would be incorrect, as he is a Lan, and running is both undignified and unnecessary unless in immediate danger. Nor does he slam his key into the ignition, or aggressively swerve around the cars on the freeway, or have a mild panic attack at the fact he is picking A-Yuan up late from school for the first time ever.

He comes close, though.

By the time he arrives, it’s 4:35PM, and he has imagined about fifty different worse-case scenarios. The door is partly open when he gets to it, a messy label of 104B—Art Room scrawled with chalk on a placard next to the faded wood. As he opens it fully, he expects to see a wailing, terrified child, or perhaps a scene of utter misery and betrayal.

What he finds is his son, hands covered in paint, being sung to by a beautiful, dark-haired stranger.

“Ducks live in the pond, yellow ducks, happy ducks!”

Lan Wangji stops in his tracks. (Or: Falling in love with your son’s art teacher, in five parts)

🐇 WE WILL GET HIM FALLING FOR A STRANGER (OR A CATFISH) BY SWEETLOLIXO

Lan Wangji: Yingying?

Lan Wangji: Are you busy with class?

Lan Wangji: Won’t disturb you if that’s the case.

Lan Wangji: (´• ω •`)

Wei Ying wants to cry.

What jock uses kaomojis? Ever?

Or, Wei Ying is hired by a client to catfish Lan Wangji online, as a hot girl, for revenge. Except, Lan Wangji is not the playboy jock he expected…

🐇 CHILD’S PLAY BY FLOWERCITY (FAORIE)

💕 Pairing:  Wangxian (Lan Wangji x Single dad!Wei Wuxian) │ Setting: Modern AU - Kid Fic │ Status: Completed  │ One shot 

Author’s Summary: In which Lan Zhan falls hard for the single father he met at the park, A-yuan decides his small family is in need of a new member and Wei Ying is helpless on this ride (but he loves it anyway).

🐇THE WORLD IS OUR STADIUM BY ANONYMOUS

💕 Pairing: Wangxian (Hockey Player!Lan Wangji x Hockey Player!Wei Wuxian)  │Sports: Hockey AU │ Status: Completed  │ One Shot │Friends to Lovers

Author’s summary:  “Don’t be so vulgar,” says Wei Ying, patting Lan Zhan’s knee with a grin. “I’m just vibing on ice. You break a few bones. Win some, lose some. All in the name of the game.”

“There is no such rule in the rulebook.”

“Aiya, Lan Zhan, I can’t believe you go around memorizing rulebooks. No wonder you don’t break any bones.”

“Breaking a bone is not an accomplishment, Wei Ying.”

“Then all your bones will be brittle and sad, like wilted romaine lettuce.”

🐇 WELCOME TO GUSU by PERKYNURPLES

💕  Pairing: Wangxian ( Senior Counsellor !Lan Wangji x Senior Counsellor!Wei Wuxian)  │ Summer Camp AU │ Status: Work in Progress but almost completed │ Childhood Friends to Lovers

Author’s Summary: Deep in the lush forests of Gusu hides an aging resort that hosts dozens of children every summer for an unforgettable couple of weeks. It’s where Lan Wangji grew up alongside Wei Wuxian, and when his childhood friend (for the lack of a better term) surprisingly returns years later in the position of Senior Counsellor, seemingly hell bent on causing the same kind of mischief that got him kicked out of Gusu in the first place, but also taller, broader and tanner than ever before, Lan Wangji knows he’s In Trouble. Or, this fic has it all: longing looks over campfires, found family dynamics, ill-timed skinny dipping, teenagers inappropriately shipping their counsellors, LAKE MONSTERS

🐇 A SPRINTER AND A DISTANCE RUNNER WALK INTO A BAR BY HAPLESSMEDRESIDENT

💕 Pairing: Wangxian (College Student!Lan Wangji x College Student!Wei Wuxian) │ Modern Setting: College/University AU - Sports AU │ Status: Completed  │ Chapters: 5 

Author’s summary:  Wei Wuxian got into running mostly to channel his wayward energy into something moderately productive. He didn’t expect to be podiuming for it, certainly not for an NCAA division I university to be offering a free ride through college for him to run with them.

Lan Wangji just wants to get his 400M hurdles to be less than 50 seconds.

And possibly a chance at the Olympics.

And then he sees the new Foot Locker champion – a freshman, apparently a prodigy, apparently just 17 – at the Cobb Track, and maybe he wants just a little bit more.

🐇 HOW TO BE A HEARTBREAKER BY SWEETLOLIXO

💕 Pairing: Wangxian (Sugar Daddy!Lan Wangji x Sugar Baby!Wei Wuxian) Sugar Dating AU │ Status: Completed  │ Chapters: 16 

Author’s summary: “Lan er gege,” Wei Ying sings out an old nickname, his lips curving up into a well-rehearsed smile. It’s adorable, and it’s pretty, and he knows it mesmerises anyone who lays their eyes on him. He has done it a million times—bewitching and convincing men who need to be convinced.

He just doesn’t expect to hear the hitch in Lan Zhan’s breath, too, and feel the taller man’s grasp around his wrist tightening.

He fell for it.

A sickening thought suddenly enters his brain, and Wei Ying wonders if he should be so cruel.

“Do you want to find a private space for us, Lan Zhan?”

Canon/ Canon Divergence:

🐇GROW BY CAFECLICHE

💕 Pairing: Wangxian │ Setting: Post Canon │ Status: Completed  │ One shot 

Author’s Summary:  “Okay,” Jingyi says, as Sizhui puzzles this out aloud. “Okay! So the demon has been turning its victims into children.”

“I think so,” Sizhui says.

“To make them easier prey,” Jingyi says.

“Yes,” Sizhui says.

“So—” Jingyi’s voice cracks here, “this kid is Senior Wei.”

Wei Wuxian, still tangled in his own massive robes, blinks politely at them.

(Or: Wei Wuxian is cursed on a night-hunt, and the junior quartet rapidly finds themselves in over their heads.)

🐇 A LITTLE HAPPINESS BY SUSPICIOUS_POPSICLE

💕 Pairing:  Wangxian │ Setting: Post Canon │ Status: Completed  │ Chapters: 3 

Author’s Summary: It was a beautiful, sunny day. A crisp, cool breeze was blowing, offset by the warm rays of the sun. The grass was vibrantly green, sprinkled with tiny white flowers. The rabbits were out, hopping contentedly around their meadow, practically begging to be picked up and cuddled. All of it was made surreal by the fact that a six-year-old Lan WangJi sat in the middle of the clearing, silently petting a black rabbit that had made itself comfortable on his lap.

Wei WuXian sat nearer the edge of the meadow, legs crossed at the ankles, chin in hand, and his elbow resting on his knee. He stared at Lan WangJi, searching for happiness in him.

🐇 AND THEY HAVE ESCAPED THE WEIGHT OF DARKNESS BY COSMICMILKTEA

💕 Pairing:   Wangxian  │ Canon Divergence  │ Status: Completed  │ One shot │Amnesia │ Memory Loss 

Author’s Summary: In the aftermath of everything, the scars of thirty-three lashes heavy on his back, Lan Wangji walks.

He walks through a land ravaged by war, by hunger, by death and sheer neglect, walks through a land that the Cultivation world all but forgets in their own haste to rebuild. He upholds justice, protects the weak. Lives with his regrets.

And then, in a small village South of Qishan, he finds Wei Ying - Alive, smiling, and asking Lan Wangji for his name.

I struggle thinking about non consensual human experimentation as a whole, but what happened to Bucky really it does just make me sick.

To start, think of how his stomach dropped when he fell from the train, the fucking fear knowing you're dead. You have 2 seconds and then your dead, this is it.

Then you wake up to 1) being alive, horrifically unaware of the 70 years of hell ahead of you and 2) your arm being not only surgically removed but replaced with a metal arm, a foreign body, a parasite. You fight because what else are you ment to do? But you fall unconscious again.

You wake up to days and days of torment and torture and slowly loose hope that it will ever end, that you'll ever be saved. He didn't know that Steve was dead, how long did he yearn for Steve to find him? How mad did he get? Did he punch the wall, did he scream? Did they have to sedate him because of just how psychotic that made him? How fucking manic he would go?

How long till he lost all feeling, all emotion and hope?

When they started putting him in the chair, did he scream and cry? Did he beg for anything else? Any thing, anything, fucking anything. Did he beg for death? Did he feel himself slowly lose all of his memory, did he sob when he first couldn't picture Steve's face, or when he could remember the most important person in the world, but not a name or a background or a face, not a crumb.

The first time he's put in cryo freeze, does he remember his reflection? Seconds before he fell unconscious, never knowing how long it would be before he woke up again. Did he wake up, begging to just be put back in, the closest fate to death he could ever achieve? The closest thing to mercy? Does he catch himself falling asleep at night and wake up in tears, not even sure if it's been 20 minutes of 20 years.

Did his crys for help fall on the shiney leather shoes of scientists who showed no emotion, did he question if he was even human to begin with? Surely a human would be treated with even a fraction of care. No one treated like this was born from a mother, no one treated like this was ever looked at with maternal love.

He stopped feeling like a person, he didn't even remember he was a person. When things seeped though it just hurt, they hurt him, it made it worse. So he stopped it, he wouldn't let himself. It was impossible to live. He had no coping mechanisms, no outlet, he would show any signs of struggle and be hurt for showing humanity. He had to be what they wanted.

Even after he was broken in, no crying anymore. No begging for mercy. Did he spend his nights awake, just TRYING to remember what he forgot, FEELING the missing spots in his mind? Did he hold that metal arm close because he can't even remember how he got it anymore, all he knows is it makes his shoulders ache.

He was completely and utterly trapped, the more he suppressed, even the minor shards he remembered, the more mania he would experience.

Even once he's free, how do you come back from that, even if it was just a mental thing, the physical, real DAMAGE to his brain was enough to make him never heal again. Bucky is a walking fucking miracle and maybe THE survivor.

He is going to have memory problems, severly. He is going to have intense PTSD flashbacks, total hallucination level, breakdowns. Seriously, this level of trauma is NEVER leaving him, not fully. Phantom pains, endless nightmares, coping mechanisms that don't make sense but comfort him none the less.

He's going to have periods of times where he can't even stand being touched, not Steve, not anyone. Weeks where he can't shower or move out of a space his brain has deemed safe for fear of being hurt. Scratches at the seam between his flesh and the metal of arm, wanting it off, wanting it away from him. Again does it necessarily make sense logically? NO!! but does he feel it 100%? Yes!!

He gets better, his bad periods get less intense, more far in between but they never fully go away. As fuckimg depressing as it is, hydra made a permanent mark on his psyche. It's FUCKED.

Gods strongest soldier is Bucky Barnes.

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?
