Summary
There were several comparisons to be made between Earth and Pandora: Earth had been reduced to a barren wasteland planet with insane laws imposed by a greedy government; Pandora was beautiful, teeming with colorful life and shared through the beautiful heart-songs of native Singers. Earth was where they'd cremated his twin brother, Mark, and asked Puck to take his place; Pandora was where Mark still came to him in the most realistic dreams he'd ever had. On Earth, Puck had been confined to a wheelchair and the orders of the military; On Pandora, Noah earned his place as a leader with infinite respect and humbled power.
Earth had destroyed his life and family. But Pandora introduced his soulmate, Kurt, and allowed him to create new ones.

Summary
Every one of Kurt's crushes started with a dream: first Finn (and you know how that ended) then Sam (which was more lust than anything, what with the boy's inviting mouth) and most recently Blaine (which is actually working out.) But suddenly he's dreaming about a Mohawk...which, probably won't end well for anyone.

Summary
'He'd always wondered what he would say or do if he ever met his old friend again.'
Littlefoot and Cera used to be the 'bestest' of friends. But with one's dad leaving and the other's mom dying, they were torn apart. It's not until New Year's Day 2012 that Puck and Kurt realize they're together again, but obstacles like a boyfriend and abandonment issues prevent them from fully reconnecting. That doesn't stop them from trying, though.

Wikipedia Says I'm Secretly in Love with You by Sammy_who_are_these_people (shadow_of_you)

Summary
"It…um…" Puck has to look away to answer because he won't be able to bare the disgust that he knows will cloud those currently open and accepting eyes like Fungus in less than a minute. He knows it will hurt worse than the morning he spent separating the stupid roses by color and tying them into different arrangements, deciding they looked off with whatever he'd put them with, and having to do them over. Worse than a thousand thorns; it will be a fucking Cactus stabbed through his chest and Marigolds will sprout from his eyes and Love-Lies-Bleeding will become his reality, not just a weeping flower. "It means…I mean, it's a Gardenia. And um …" he clears his throat quickly, staring at his bandages fingertips. "Wikipedia says it means I'm secretly in love with you."

Bookmarker's Notes
Thrown into an alternate reality by a Branch O' Time tm, Jiang Cheng is shown -- by another version of himself -- that if he can be honest and not jump to conclusions, maybe the triple-married life is not so far out of reach.
Fun dialogue and character dynamics; the mortifying ordeal of having your deepest secrets casually revealed by a happier, more well-adjusted version of yourself.
Would love a sequel of this!

Summary
“Oh, wow, yeah, see, this is way better,” Wei Wuxian says. “Jiang Cheng, here, c’mon—”
Jiang Cheng makes a confused noise, then squawks and drops his weight unhelpfully as Wei Wuxian tries to haul him forward by his grasp on Jiang Cheng’s bloodstained belt. “What? No! Are you crazy? I’m not sleeping with Lan Wangji!”
Lan Zhan, who had been striding across the clearing toward them, robes a-swirl, pulls up abruptly like he’s run into an invisible wall.
- - -
It’s Jiang Cheng and Lan Wangji, rather than Jin Zixuan, who arrive at Qiongqi Pass as Jin Zixun is attacking Wei Wuxian. This turns out significantly better than it does in canon!
Unfortunately, during the attack, Jiang Cheng is hit with a curse that can only be healed with magic qi-transferring sex. And since Wei Wuxian, secretly coreless, can’t do it, he’ll just have to persuade Lan Wangji to step up instead.

Bookmarker's Notes
Acute qi infusion/totally-not-dual-cultivation/JC-invented-triple-cultivation-actually : THE FIC. In which Jiang Cheng gets cursed, Lan Wangji is obviously the best solution, and Wei Wuxian absolutely Loves Solving Problems.
Excerpt:
<“I’m here,” Wei Wuxian says. Not quite a reply, but more just the shock of it. Astonishment that he is here, with Lan Zhan under his mouth, panting and miraculous, with Jiang Cheng, pinned safe and pliant in the curve of Wei Wuxian’s body—here, with them. “I’m here, I’m right here...">Yuuuup the good shit. P.s. IT TOOK THREE YEARS FOR THIS MASTERPIECE AND IT WAS MORE THAN WORTH IT.

Summary
Matthew arrived in Korea untouched by Hanbin’s world, soft in ways that still belonged entirely to himself.
Now even the language in his mouth carries traces of Hanbin’s hands all over it.
Hanbin still remembers the first time Matthew called him our Hanbin hyung instead of just Hanbin hyung.
Our.
Such a small word.
It wrecks him for weeks.
Matthew learns Korean through Hanbin so thoroughly that eventually the language itself begins to feel shared between them. Matthew carries traces of Hanbin in the way he speaks now. In the cadence. In the phrasing. In the softened edges of his accent whenever he gets tired enough to stop thinking before talking and it's the most devastating thing Hanbin has ever experienced in his life.

Hanbin psychoanalyzes his cuteness aggression for Matthew, and the two of them are equally intense about each other. The world is balanced.

Summary
After Lan Wangji takes a blast of illusionary talismans for him during the Sunshot Campaign, Jiang Cheng finds himself forced to take care of the invincible Hanguang-Jun for once. But when comfort is not the only burden they share, unpleasant rumours start to spread. As Jiang Cheng struggles to save his face as a young leader, Lan Wangji seems surprisingly willing to help – no matter the cost.
Only Wei Wuxian seems strangely fazed by their newly formed bond, and dabbling in demonic cultivation might cloud more than his senses...- Language:

Bookmarker's Notes
This is the Jiang Cheng/Lan Wanji epic that should define a literary genre. The "unreliable narrator" trope should have this entire story embedded in the definition. When your protagonist believes a lie, and his beloved believes an opposite lie, what happens? What happens when canon has planted plenty of seeds to rot and bloom into a different take on soulmateship? The soul of Zidian threads through this story like embroidery that glows under moonlight. The sentimentality of Lan Wangji, the self hatred and gradual self acceptance of Jiang Cheng, the enduring support that each of them demonstrates for each other... Fighting brothers, fighting the Divine Heavens themselves, fighting every attempt to tear them apart. The beauty of rebuilding and rebuilding again and again. The painful canon event that is Wei Wuxian lost to darkness, and how this version lashes out at Jiang Cheng specifically. The tragedy of a promise broken. The peace of trusting your brilliant, imperfect partner to always have your back, and having theirs -- always that security. Hours and hours, returning to campfires in the woods, to small broken beds, to fans painted with ugly teapots... The planning it took to maintain continuity through half a million words is an absolute feat of legends. I feel bereft and fulfilled and depressed and relieved to have experienced this masterpiece. Please preserve this work, never delete. I must reread and relive this Jiang Cheng, who is so broken and strong, and Lan Wangi who is so steadfast and dedicated, to appreciate again the artistry of a master storyteller.

Summary
On their way to retake Lotus Pier, Jiang Cheng finds himself getting unexpectantly close to Lan Wangji. Realising his greatest asset against the Wens is just as human as he is, however, leaves him far more than only intrigued. But is sharing a little comfort worth the risk of losing Lan Wangji’s sword at his side?

War and light and implicit feelings. (come back for the art!)
...
This writing is so devastating. JC's thought process throughout it all, and all of his assumptions needing to pivot when LWJ demonstrates vulnerability in turn.. Culminating in the sunset by the pier, which happens right before everything else from canon takes place... I would love to write a fic inspired by this one in which all of this fic's events are canon. The trust built between JC and LWJ here is just beautiful, and the subtext of all the dialogue is masterfully done. Would love to see how their relationship established here would withstand the WWX-related shitshow.
