    Summary

    “Do you hate me?"

    Zuko wanted to say yes. It was the obvious answer. Aang was the Avatar. Aang was the enemy. Aang was the one thing keeping him from returning home, from returning to his father’s good graces. He should hate Aang fiercely and openly, and he should have set that entire clearing on fire to get to him and capture him once and for all.

    "No,” he said, and was surprised to find it was the truth.


    OR What if Zuko and Aang talked at the end of "The Blue Spirit"?

    Aang is not twelve. This IS a rewrite of the show, but it diverges more in the Book 3 chapters. Please read the notes before the prologue!

    UPDATED with artwork in Chapters 1, 3, 7, 16, 18, 22, and cover art in 25!

    Recrafting of an old FFN fic -- magnificently reworked and restored like an antique painting. Satisfying and fulfilling. Need to come back and reread several times to appreciate character writing and dialogue. Includes illustrations and a playlist. 10/10 Incredible Zukaang to read from 2008 to 2026.

    Summary

    “You were different, tonight, from how I imagined,” says Lan Wangji.

    ---

    Jiang Cheng sleeps with Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji, fully aware that it’s just a one-time thing and they’ll no doubt be gone in the morning. Except afterwards, Lan Wangji apparently wants to… chat.

    Summary

    Lan Wangji and Jiang Cheng get competitive over spending time with Wei Wuxian. It’s a little exhausting for him, but it’s also very endearing! Wei Wuxian feels so loved! And what with all the time the three of them now spend together, he even thinks Jiang Cheng and Lan Zhan might eventually get used to each other! Like when you toss two hissing cats into the same room, and yeah, they kind of hate each other, but they unite in hating everyone else even more.

    Unless, of course, those heated glares between Lan Wangji and Jiang Cheng aren’t just competitiveness...?

    Possessive LWJ and competitive JC; immovable object, unstoppable force, with WWX as the gravitational center, means a collision was inevitable. (Cute!!)

    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.
