3: Our Small Steps https://archiveofourown.org/works/14945565
A fic where Wei Wuxian had to deal with matters of the body he inhabits, so he had and Lan Wangji had to travel back to Mo village to settle some things. Kind of funny but I like how this provides sort of a closure!

This line convinced me to read: “Qiren was so angry that I could swear, his goatee straightened itself out of sheer fury.”
JingYi incinerated an old window and Lan Mei’s ghost appeared to haunt the Cloud Recesses!

6: The Will of Heaven https://archiveofourown.org/works/16254158
“Trace a line, beginning to end. Love does not end; it endures.
It endures, and so will you.”
*sigh* This is beautiful. The author has eloquently put into words Lan Wangji’s sorrow in being in love with Wei Wuxian, waiting for him.

Okay, so this kind of cheating because Lan Wangji isn’t really in the story but this is such a good read, it heals my soul broken by JC & WWX’s fallout. I wish this happened in canon. Wei Wuxian & Jiang Cheng mending their relationship.
