Taming Draco Malfoy by Becstar7 | harry potter | 328k

It's nearing the end of their sixth year at Hogwarts, and Pansy Parkinson is determined to change her best friend’s fate.

The Murder of Crows by cerbykerby | 101k | módào zǔshī

After thirteen years in the Burial Mounds, the Yiling Patriarch finally makes a public reappearance. Civilians are scared. Cultivators are outraged. Sect Leaders are concerned. Wei Wuxian has been too quiet, they say, and nobody knows what dark horrors the Burial Mounds may now contain.

Wei Wuxian wouldn't quite call them dark horrors, but the description wasn't too far off.

tell some storm by qurbat | 31k | módào zǔshī

In the aftermath of the events at the Guanyin temple, the cultivation world scrambles to understand their current reality. A man roams the countryside with a string of white in his hair. Another sits on the highest seat of power with a ribbon of red around his forehead. The younger generation turns out to be full of romantics. Nie Huaisang is to blame for everything, always. Jiang Cheng realizes that happiness has been more that 16 years overdue.

Assumptions by draechaeli | 50k | módào zǔshī

The sects vote to use an array to spy on the Burial Mounds. The Jins want to show the evils of the Yiling-Laozu, the Jiangs hope everyone will see Wei WuXian the radish farmer. Lan XiChen felt guilty and sent Lan WangJi on a night hunt.

They make assumptions when they see Wei WuXian having lunch with Lan WangJi and a toddler in Yiling. And sometimes assumptions don't make an ass out of anyone, but save everyone.

the thing with feathers by RoseThorne | 43k | módào zǔshī

A night hunt gone wrong leaves Wei Wuxian facing life without a husband and son. He refuses. Using an experimental array, he attempts temporal transmigration, but it goes wrong. He sends himself back to the age of ten, and the strain on his young body and mind requires another desperate use of resentful energy... which also goes wrong, leaving his younger self with near-complete amnesia, all his memories sealed.

There was no blood. No char. There was nothing to see except the strange softening of the Yiling Patriarch's mouth, as if just for a moment he was another person entirely.

"There is the mark of our bargain, and here is the challenge," said the Yiling Patriarch. "You may strike at me, exactly once, with your sword. I will not fight back; I will not resist you at all, Hanguang-jun." That silvery suggestiveness crept into his voice again. "And a year and a day from now, you will come to me and I will deliver exactly the same to you."

It was an inheritance. It was a clue. It was what his mother had held onto in her last moments, what she had put her last efforts into leaving behind, two characters that held meaning, a message for him.

He was looking at the only thing his mother had left him. Her killer's name.

And with it, a responsibility.

missing in action; presumed dead by ara_the_jedi | 39k | marvel

Steve's life has been hard from the beginning. His father left when his ma was still pregnant. He's bound to turn out an Omega, which means he's got a life full of creeps wanting to try it with a male Omega and birth control that's not designed for boys but given to them anyway ahead of him. The only good thing is his best friend, who genuinely likes him, who might even love him, but even that gets taken away from him before he has a chance to actually grow up and explore it.

So, he's old for his young years. He's practical. He understands that sometimes you've got to take what you can get and if there are mishaps, then deal with them. He deals with it. He moves through life with anger and hatred. He hates the army that took Bucky from him.
