Strange magic-induced rings of decay have started appearing all over the old, weary city of Yiling. As the resident witch, Wei Ying is prepared to deal with it on his own with his unorthodox way of witchcraft, but recently a new witch has moved into town. Between solving the mystery and re-learning this grown-up, softer version of the Lan Zhan he remembers from what feels like a lifetime ago, Wei Ying's days have become a lot more interesting. (or, soft witches au featuring the wens, plants, food, and the inherent romanticism of having deep mutual respect for the fellow witch you're working together with to save a city.)

Yuuri walked towards Victor Nikiforov like a man heading to his execution. A commemorative photo didn't sound too bad, and it was probably his last chance to get one. - Yuuri bitterly takes Victor up on his offer and ends up very surprised.

Funny gif of 4 people getting over a fence.

Millennial Sisyphus keeps entering all the information from his resume into the web form, only for it to delete everything when he tries to move to the next page. He just goes back and types it all up again, over and over again, forever, and he never gets a job. Millennial Tantalus has been promised that his unpaid internship will become a paid position as soon as the company has space for him. Every week he sees their new job posting. Every week he asks his boss if he can have a real job. The boss shrugs apologetically and says he’ll just have to make do with being paid in experience a little longer. He goes back and keeps working, over and over again, forever, and he never reaches the fruits of his labors. Millennial Persephone can’t get a job without a degree, but because she had to take out loans to pay for college, she must spend 1/3 of her life working just to pay them off. Millennial Cassandra’s title is Social Media Coordinator, she was hired to be the expert, but every time she tries to explain the problems in her company’s social media decisionmaking, the managers don’t listen…and end up hiring expensive PR flacks to repair the damage to their reputation when things blow up exactly as she predicted. Millennial Medusa uses multiple shades of primer and opaque foundation to cover the scars snaking across her face, hiding the bruises, aligning the asymmetry in her broken nose and jaw. Red matte on the lips, green shimmer on the lids. Flawless liner on the first try. She’s had lots and lots of practice. She films her transformation in secret for all to see and learn, and again, men are turned to anonymous stone faces screaming in horror. “Liar!” “Witch!” “Take her swimming on the first date!” These words do not discourage her. These words are a challenge. GlamGorgonXx posts another video. Millennial Prometheus uploads another PDF to his site. He’s lost track of the printing and edition of this textbook. He knows they just rearranged some of chapters then charge 150 dollars per copy, and the professor wrote the book himself. the ZIP fills uploads successfully, and he starts uploading the next one. He isn’t afraid of the potential lawsuit. knowledge shouldn’t held out of reach like this. Millennial Circe screenshots all the lewd messages she gets from men on online dating sites and posts them on her very popular Instagram along with their pictures and usernames. When people accuse her of attempting to destroy their reputations, she insists she’s just revealing them for the pigs they truly are. Millennial Odysseus is starting to suspect there’s something wrong with his GPS…

“Do not touch me,” A-Yin said, the smile ever-present on his face, though the softer affectations he had put on his voice before had fallen away leaving only the familiar cadence of Wei Ying. “If you have such nefarious intentions, gongzi, you would do well to discuss them with our Madam.” “Wei Ying,” Lan Wangji breathed out. His heart felt like it was unfolding in his chest. Warm, blossoming hope curling from within and filling the empty cavity that had been cold and gaping since Wei Ying had gone missing. ~ Lan Wangji comes looking for Wei Ying in Yiling when he and Jiang Wanyin have no success in finding him after vanishing for three months. Lan Wangji was certainly not expecting to find him working as a courtesan.

Standing on the edge of the Endless Abyss, Shen Yuan chooses to take the point deduction and die rather than shove Luo Binghe over the edge. What can the System do except engage the failsafe mode and restore the account of the original user? (or, Shen Yuan and Shen Jiu become trapped in the same body and are forced to cooperate in order to survive the plot and achieve their happy endings)

Wei Ying would never forget the day he first met Wheatgrass Guy. He had been rotating the stock of bananas, cleaning out the over-ripe ones to move to the bargain bin, when it had happened. “Excuse me. Where can I find the wheatgrass?” “End cap, row four -- ” Wei Ying started to answer. And then he saw him. Standing there in his flowy white tunic and his pale blue linen pants, as if that was a thing that people did. Who did that? Was it legal to do that? Wei Ying thought not. “Thank you,” Wheatgrass Guy had said, his amber eyes boring into him. “No problem,” Wei Ying had managed. “Let me know if you need help with bananas.” Wei Ying should not be allowed to speak. Who had entrusted him with words? “I will let you know if I need any help,” Wheatgrass Guy had said graciously, and Wei Ying thought that this guy was too good, too amazing, too kind, letting it slide like that -- “with bananas.” Oh. Oh no, that was worse. Wheatgrass Guy was kind of a bitch.

Lan Xichen owns a sweet little café named Pan where he tries to create his own little safe space where people are inclusive and can enjoy great food and drinks. When his chef Su Minshan suddenly quits he is in desperate need for a new 'culinary artist'. Enter Wei Wuxian who is a literal pastry wizard (no magic, just baking). Stick-up-ass Lan Wangji runs the business side of Pan and has some trouble getting used to the whirlwind that is Wei Wuxian, but of course he cannot but fall head-over-heels for him.

Lan Zhan gets a few minutes of silence, which are companionable and warm despite the voice’s bemused indigence, before a slick-trickle sensation slips down his back. He straightens in alarm, but the presence in his head does...something that conveys the soothing sensation of rubbing his back in comfort. A flowing shadow edges along the edge of his vision. This time, the voice doesn’t come from his head. “Call me Wei Ying,” it whispers, like a lover, into the pink shell of his ear. Lan Zhan follows rumors of a conspiracy to the heart of Jinlintai, where he picks up a parasite and a whole lot of problems.

Five (un)intentionally supervised dates between Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian, and one time they finally get to be alone, all set against a background of inter-sect cultivation politics, the Yin Iron plot, and teenage drama and hijinks. In which: Madam Yu supervises a sparring session, Lan Qiren reluctantly provides sex education, Nie Huaisang purveys porn, Wen Qing threatens someone with her needles, Jin Zixuan goes on the world's most awkward double date, and Wei Wuxian finally, finally gets to talk to Lan Wangji in private. Arc 1: The Cloud Recesses is now complete!

Aizawa Shouta was tired. Crouched on the edge of the roof as he was, he observed the streets below him silently. He was coming to the end of his patrol, and if everything remained as it was, he'd be able to catch a decent nap before having to report in to the school for another round of proctoring. Which, of course, is when he saw the kid being chased down the alley. *** Or Izuku is your average 21st-century kid. Being sucked through a time-traveling portal and dropped in the middle of a fantasy world with supervillains was not his idea for a good start to the new school year. Good thing he has everyone's favorite underground hero keeping an eye on him. With a hero by his side, how much trouble could he possibly get into while trying to find his way back home?

“If we give him a bride,” Jiang Cheng says, solemnly. “They give us an army.” The bride that they seek is of the blood of a fox, and Wei Ying is the last of his kind. It can only be him.

Wei Wuxian had never thought of outer space as lonely before. Admittedly, that had been before he'd been stranded on Mars. A Martian!AU

War has unsettled the sects, and Gusu Lan, known for its courtesans, has always acted as arbiter. Lan Zhan has a week left of relative freedom before he is forced to choose the sect leader for whom he will be a courtesan. With Lan Xichen long taken by Nie Mingjue, Lan Zhan’s choice will prove crucial for future peace talks. During a visit to Qinghe, Xichen tells him of a new sect leader, Wei Wuxian, who intrigues him; will he send Lan Zhan a courting gift, or will Lan Zhan be forced into a cruel alternative? (or: Courtesan!AU in which Lan Zhan and Wei Ying take the slow-burn train to happiness and love)

One month after @hawks_unofficial's initial viral post, the blog titled "Quirk Analysis Blog for the Future", otherwise known as "Q. A. B.", has gone from an average of 10 views per post to an average of 20,000 views per post. Midoriya Izuku does not know how to view the impressions analysis for his suddenly popular blog, and only notices that sometimes, people actually comment on his posts now. He does not google himself or his moniker and thus does not see the rise in online articles and speculation. He is unaware that the "kyuu-ei-bee" he begins to hear about in passing refers to his own blog. He does not have a Twitter account. At the time, Midoriya Izuku is 15 years old. Izuku (accidentally) starts a cult.

Local hero Wei Wuxian has caught the interest of Lan Wangji, a very dangerous villain. Only is his interest really such a bad thing, after all?

Lan Wangji patiently described each item to this Wei Wuxian as he carefully packed them into boxes, lined up neatly next to the napoleons, giving quick details about the plum macarons, the maple eclairs, and the salted caramel palmier cookies. Wei Wuxian’s eyes widened further with each description, until his head sank down onto the arms he'd folded against the counter, a groan escaping his mouth. “Stop, please,” he said. “This all sounds so good I’m worried I’ll dive face-first into the boxes the moment I step out of here...have mercy and tie those boxes extra tight, won’t you?” And if Lan Wangji was a little generous with his packing, already having made up his mind to provide double what the man had asked for at no additional charge….well, that was because it was the end of the selling day, and these pastries were all going to a team of well-deserving healthcare workers. No other reason. ************ or; nurse wwx runs into lwj's bakery one evening and then...just keeps coming back

A better more efficient and odor eliminating homemade air purifier than just taping a 20x20x1 filter to a box fan. Sometimes you need to help clear the air in a dirty environment but don't want to use an expensive air purifier such as in a room after renovating and painting. Here's a cheap and easy way to build one.

The Cloud Recesses can only be found by those in need. Lan Wangji sets out from his ancestral home to see the world and collect knowledge for his sect. Wei Wuxian leaves Lotus Pier to try and ease the tension for his siblings, assuming it will be better if he's gone for a while. Their paths cross and merge for a time. When they part, neither of them expect Wei Wuxian's path to lead him to the gates of the legendary Cloud Recesses, in need of help.

The scroll had been unobtrusive, covered in decades of dust. Fine particles blew and swirled in the rays of light slanting through the high ceiling, and for a long moment, Wen Kexing felt mesmerized by the dance of them before looking down at the scroll itself. A Definitive Guide To Marriage Wen Kexing felt his eyebrows rise, amusement bubbling up. He couldn't wait to show this to A-Xu, so they could read it out loud to one another and laugh over what he was sure was a ridiculous set of advice. Who would have put this here, in the armory, of all places? Of what use could it possibly be?

horror but make it healing what i mean is: the house that hates you because it hates all of humanity because it is old, and abandoned, and left to rot. the house that tries to kill you because it doesn’t care what you intend or what you want and all it knows is that its purpose has gone ignored and then has changed, by degrees, with malicious intent derived from neglect. a house that sees you as threat and will not wait for you to draw first blood - or worse, to just… ignore it more. again. forever. but also; what does it look like to meet that house halfway and work to better it. can you renovate it? can you find the hurt and heal it? is it Horror if it can be Fixed? but not fixed like it never happened, but fixed like we reinforced the crack in the east wall of the foundation, we re-bricked the fireplace with respect to its original style, we found the rot and - as gently as possible - removed it, grafted new tissue, applied bandages. can you rehabilitate a haunted house, and offer it love? or is it prideful to even try - because all you’re doing is setting it up for more failure and heartbreak in the future, after you die and it goes uncared for, neglected, again? can you make a house that hates you love you without ensuring that it will hate again after you - because a house lives a long, long time after a human dies?

Zhou Zishu opens his eyes. Instead of waking up in the same place he has for the past five decades, he is sitting slumped by a desk in a room that he recognises, but wishes he didn't. He swallows harshly and stares down at the desk in front of him. Seven long and thick nails lie on the table before him, along with a written record in his own hand on their usage.

The problem with CT Wei was, lamentably, not incompetence. Incompetence was a failing no one at the Gusu Bureau of Cultivation could forgive. Had he been incompetent, he would have already been dismissed from his position. No, the problem with CT Wei was far worse: he was friendly. There's a new forensic cultivator in the GBC. Lan Wangji is unimpressed.

Transmigrating turns out to not be as fun as she'd thought when she discovers she's in the body of a cannon fodder character destined to either be killed off or made another number in a harem. Determined to get home before she can die or be pushed down by the protagonist, Ren Bai might wind up making this story change more than she expected.

While all of Europe is responsible, I think it’s also important for people from the UK to acknowledge the particular and direct culpability of our government in what has happened in Israel and Palestine - mostly because it never is. Politicians don’t mention it, the media never mentions it, they tell you nothing about it in school, no one talks about it. I was just saying exactly the same thing about India, but if you ask an average British person if they think their country did a good job of ruling Palestine you’ll get a blank stare, maybe they’ll pull a massively uninformed opinion out of their arse, I doubt many could tell you exactly when it was. But the fact is that when Britain assumed control of the Holy land in 1918 both Zionism and Palestinian nationalism were relatively minor concerns, and when we left in 1948 there was a civil war raging between those two sides. All of the important seeds of the conflict were sown and took root while Britain was in charge. The first major Palestinian uprising of 1936-39 was an anti-colonial struggle against the British Empire.

The first time is a complete freak accident.

"Why is Harrow on Tinder? How is Harrow on Tinder? I thought humans were the only demographic allowed, not eldritch horrors. What do I do? Like, do I swipe right?" "Do you like her?" Camilla asks. "Uh, no," Gideon says like it's the most obvious thing in the world. "Then don't swipe right." A moment of silence. And then, "I'm gonna swipe right." OR the “you’re my enemy and you popped up while I was swiping around on a dating app so I swiped right just to screw with you and we matched wtF is going on” AU I posted about on Tumblr one time, but it's more angsty and found-family-ish than I had intended. As usual.
