forestsofpineHere are some of the fics I enjoyed in May:
MDZS/CQL Fanfic Recs
let me see you mean, Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian, 36k, explicit
⚠️ mind the tags
Saw My Life In a Stranger's Face, Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian, 27k, explicit
I'm laughing at myself a little bit about this next one, because last month I recced a fic where a well-intentioned Lan Xichen dub-cons Meng Yao (6k, mature, mind the tags), and this month I'm reccing a fic where a well-intentioned Nie Mingjue dub-cons Meng Yao. ~slaps hull of the good ship 3zun~ This baby can hold so much trauma.
secrets from flesh, Nie Mingjue/Jin Guangyao, 3k, explicit
⚠️ mind the tags
The fic above has a different take on omegaverse biology and culture than most, and so does this next fic:
Innermost, Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian, 15k, explicit
Additionally, though I haven't had the chance to catch up on it yet, Better Things To Do With a Flute in Wartime (Nie Mingjue/Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian, 364k, explicit), which I previously recced as a WIP, was completed this month.
Nirvana in Fire Fanfic Recs
heliotrope, Xiao Jingyan/Lin Shu | Mei Changsu, 6k, explicit
Beyond Evil Fanfic Recs
come home soon, Lee Dong-sik/Han Ju-won, 6k, explicit
enormity of my desire, Lee Dong-sik/Han Ju-won, 3k, explicit
RPF Fanfic Recs
No new recs, but The Kalends (Gong Jun/Zhang Zhehan, 21k, explicit), which I previously recced as a WIP, was completed this month. Fair warning: it's crack, but funny crack (imo; ymmv of course), and also it made me really, really want to visit Rome again.
Happy reading!

“Lan Zhan,” Wei Ying says deliberately. “I don’t like men.”
Lan Wangji is too taken aback to say anything other than, “I know.” Even in his altered state, the bald admission tastes bitter on his tongue.
“Lan Zhan,” Wei Ying repeats with a little more force. “I don’t want you to rape me.”

On a night hunt, Lan Wangji encounters a nasty sex curse. He and Wei Wuxian figure it out.
Then, they figure it out.

Saw My Life In a Stranger's Face, Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian, 27k, explicit
Lan Wangji had long since stopped thinking of Wei Wuxian's body as Mo Xuanyu's. He grew used to all the ways it was different and the same from the last. But slowly, surely, now that they were comfortable, Wei Wuxian's face had begun to change again. The lines of his jaw became a slightly smudged drawing. Not all together unfamiliar, just enough that Lan Wangji second-guessed his own memory. There was one night Lan Wangji came home to find Wei Wuxian's eyes had changed color. He woke one morning and was taller, his silhouette stretching and growing like a shadow cast against the wall.
His smile was the same. The way he pouted, and slept in, the way he kissed. His terrible jokes. Lan Wangji would get used to a new face too if the husband was still the same.
-
Or, the one where Wei Wuxian's face begins to change to look like his original body. It isn't easy on anyone. But it isn't so bad, either.

Nie Mingjue marries in winter.

“Oh,” he said, blinking, “You can’t--can’t get off?”
“No,” Lan Zhan growled, looking like he was two seconds away from learning how to astral project himself into a new universe where he wouldn’t have to have this conversation. “My eggs. Won’t come. I think one is…stuck.”
“Oh,” Wei Ying said again. “Oh. Okay.”
Lan Zhan didn’t need him to panic. He needed him to help.

Nirvana in Fire Fanfic Recs
heliotrope, Xiao Jingyan/Lin Shu | Mei Changsu, 6k, explicit
Jingyan knows what is happening to him. In the first hours, the sensation was familiar, the subtle burning under his skin distinct and memorable. He had asked his mother about the flower and the drug many years ago, omitting to mention that he had taken it himself. He had been a little alarmed by her description of the consequences if the pair who had taken it were unable to reunite — she had put it less euphemistically — but had decided to put it out of his mind. Whatever might happen over sixteen years, it couldn’t touch the bond between him and Xiao Shu.
He hadn’t even been sure the drug had had much effect. The rest of that season had been filled with triumphs of strength and with heated, stolen nights, but who could say whether that was the drug or mere suggestion working on their youth and strength? They were already invincible. They were already in love.

Beyond Evil Fanfic Recs
come home soon, Lee Dong-sik/Han Ju-won, 6k, explicit
The first time it happened that way, Dongsik was trying to be careful.
enormity of my desire, Lee Dong-sik/Han Ju-won, 3k, explicit
Juwon shivers. “Stop that,” he says, closing his hand around Dongsik’s.
Dongsik tilts his head, blinking up at him. “It’s 'stop this' and 'stop that,' isn’t it? What do you want me to do?”
Juwon reddens, further, at what he’d been hoping for. He doesn’t know what he was picturing—maybe a silent fuck, with no words whispered, but simply the mechanics of going through it, and then washing himself carefully and never talking about it again—but watching Dongsik now, he knows it’s going to be more complicated than that.
Juwon wants. This is what happens when he voices that desire.
