Valerie's Room

I have a digital reading journal where you can see a more comprehensive list of the things i read in 2025, including various challenges in which i participated. This year I made it in Word, because I couldn't bother myself to use Canva, so it's a pretty simple affair. Feel free to read it and copy whatever you want.

Here are some previews (click to enlarge):

Light of Stars (and the Destroyer) by Sanguis | mdzs | 22k

The marriage is supposed to be a punishment, a way to extend Wei Wuxian’s isolation. After all, Wangji has met the man (when they had both been boys, untouched by war); Wei Wuxian could hardly be asked to fit seamlessly into the regimented life of a Lan.
Yu Ziyuan is a formidable, cruel woman, Wangji decides then. She is also wrong if she thinks Wangji will play part in her cruelty.
(And Wei Wuxian, it seems, is so much more than meets the eye).

Symmetry by Vir_Abelasan | mdzs | 13k 

Despite what Jiang Wanyin and his Sect had done, despite everything, baba never once cursed them as they did the Yiling Patriarch's name. Mourn as baba did for Sizhui's family, for the family that had become baba's own in all but name, never once did he look upon the cultivation world in vengeance. Instead, every breath, every shred of life in baba's failing body had been dedicated to keeping Sizhui safe, fed and loved, as if the slightest speck of grudge towards the world would have tainted his own boundless love towards Sizhui.
But Sizhui is alone in the world now, and he is not his baba - No one else is like baba, and Sizhui supposes that was what had sealed his father's fate, in a world where one is demanded to serve mere ideas of righteousness and honor rather than the people.
And so upon seeing the purple robes amidst the crowd, Wei Sizhui decides that perhaps it would not hurt to start his path of vengeance a little closer to home.

The Dragon's Roar by Priestess_of_Groove | got | 701k

Humanity failed to stop the Night King and his legion of undead until it was too late. The displeased Gods decide it should take a greater role in the fate of humanity and wind back to a time before the world fell apart. Jon Snow, the Prince Who Was Promised, and Jaime Lannister are sent back to prevent The War of the Five Kings and unite Westeros under a single banner to avoid a terrible fate. Even with the advantage of hindsight, things never go as planned.

Sunset, Sunrise by Ariana_Deralte | mdzs | 62k| wip*

Wen Ruohan becomes a ghost after his death and is enjoying watching his murderer suffer under his shitty father up until the point he realizes they are genuinely wiping out the Wen clan. Much to his surprise, Wei Wuxian comes to their rescue, creating a debt that will never be repaid. When things go worse at the burial mounds after the ambush at Qiongji Pass, they turn to time travel as the solution and Wen Ruohan inserts himself into the spell with one goal in mind once he wakes up in the past - adopt and spoil Wei Wuxian.

with best intention by dandelion_weed | mdzs | 22k

Death left Nie Mingjue with nothing but a lot of time to observe his brother planning and carrying out the greatest revenge scheme. He saw a lot of things. He also missed a lot of things. (Like the greatest love story of the century.)
So when he woke up in the past, the first thing that comes to mind is he will kill Wen Ruohan before he can step a foot out of his palace. Second is he will never give Jin Guangyao a chance to hurt anyone. Third is he has much to atone for.
The third one is much swifter to accomplish.

Time, Time, Time by skeleteonofaplant | mdzs | 44k

The juniors travel back in time and meet people they never had a chance to.

We'll Build A Dynasty (one the heavens can't shake) by One_eyed_God | mdzs | 661k

The unbelievable story of Wei Wuxian, time traveller, told from everyone's point of view but his.

Concord by Deastar | mdzs | 41k 

Lan Wangji hopes, somewhat frivolously, that his betrothed might find him an acceptable companion. Neither he nor Wei Wuxian are able to bear children, so there will be no need to share a marital bed; that should make it easier for the two of them to reach a natural, comfortable equilibrium.
Two strings played in harmony: this is Lan Wangji’s quiet hope, as he arranges the Jingshi to accommodate a second inhabitant. Perhaps, he thinks, they might even become friends.

Ad Oblivione by Baph and HikariNoHimeWriter | mdzs | 70k

There’s a child lingering in the outskirts of the cultivation world. No one knows where he comes from, his age nor his goal.
This is the story of how he found his way back home.

Truth Will Out (when caught on video) by KizuKatana | mdzs | 1782k

A night-hunt goes wrong, and Wei Wuxian is scapegoated for the death of the Jiang Sect Leader and the destroyed core of the Jiang Sect Heir. As punishment, his core is taken and given to Jiang Cheng, and he is stripped of his cultivation credentials and expelled from the sect.

All Things Belong by kouri_atropos | mdzs | 92k

At a discussion conference, Wen Ruohan sees a face that he'd thought lost to the impenetrability of Baoshan Sanren's mountain.
He will not lose something so precious again.
Not when being a Grandfather suits him so well, and his Grandson is as wonderful as Wei Wuxian.

Practical Considerations by teawater and the_anthropologist | mdzs | 96k

After the Sunshot Campaign Wei Wuxian is fooling around in Lotus Pier, and Jiang Cheng decides that he'd be more useful to the sect if he was to enter a diplomatic marriage. Especially since Lan Wangji seems so keen on dragging him away to Gusu. Only Wei Wuxian doesn't expect any good to come from it...

A Blade By Your Side by athena_crikey | mdzs | 77k

Forced by his court to accept a consort, Lan Wangji is certain he has seen enough of the so-called Yiling Patriarch to know what he's getting: an uncouth ruffian. Slowly, he begins to realise that even an emperor's assumptions can be misplaced. Palace Intrigue AU.

my heart made transparent by wingsofbadass | mdzs | 34k

Ranma 1/2 au where Lan Zhan falls into the Spring of the Drowned Girl, except it's a blessing instead of a curse.

curse of the dragon emperor by lulukitty | mdzs | 96k | reread**

The last prince of the dragons is enchanted to stay asleep until his true soulmate can wake him, but a violent curse plagues his family, so no one can ever see his face.
One thousand years have passed and the world is in disharmony without dragons to cleanse yin resentment.
When the Wens invade Cloud Recesses and Wen Xu demands Lan Wangji as his warprize, the Lan clan invokes a rite of passage to help Lan Wangji escape: wherein all child bearing cultivators are to be presented to Prince Wuxian's slumbering form in a ritual ceremony. No one expects the long-lost prince to wake up…

to pierce your heart; to fill it full by stiricide | mdzs | 210k

Second Prince Lan Wangji never wanted a Blade, never wanted to tie someone's life and soul immutably to his own, but after an assassination attempt, he is forced to bind himself to the beautiful, teasing and powerful Wei Wuxian. As the lives of the people he loves are threatened by more attacks, Lan Wangji finds himself increasingly drawn to his Blade's sunshine smile, vibrant personality and brilliance, but a plot to overthrow his brother and install he himself as Emperor swirls around them and hard decisions must be made as his brother drags the Empire slowly closer to wars it cannot win.

Bound By These Familial Chains by Multifacetedinterest | mdzs | 31k

In which, Dragon Wei Wuxian just wants the beautiful man asking for his help to freely join his hoard and become his mate, but the traditions of the Gusu Lan make the “freely” part hard.

this is our vow by orro | mdzs | 154k | wip*

Waking up in Gusu isn’t a surprise but waking up as a teenager is enough to make Wei Wuxian scream, disrupting the precious silence of the Cloud Recesses.
Wei Wuxian had been given a second chance when he was brought back to life. But this time, he can truly fix everything, and if he can’t find a way back then at least he can make some things right that he could never atone enough for.

Under the White Magnolia Blooms by Buttahpie | the beatles | 94k

On April 28th, 1961, 8:26am Paul McCartney’s alarm goes off.
“Paul was on the precipice of something brilliant, and every nerve in his body could feel it. What was about to take place was something deeply woven into the tapestry of his fate and history. Paul was nothing of the person he once was, and the person he was about to become was just on the horizon.”

Arrow Through Me by inspitealldanger | the beatles | 116k

This is a look at what might have happened to the band, and especially John and Paul, if Paul had come to the conclusion before he met John that he wasn't straight. This fic tells the story of the band with that new context, and therefore it will diverge from the events as we know them.

[In 1980] Paul moves his ex-boyfriend into his house. What could possibly go wrong?

say to me you'll let me be your man by naturechild | the beatles | 6k

He’s always been pretty. That’s never been up for debate- as many comments as John’s fended off about her apparent mannishness, he’s dealt with just as many about his looks. But as pretty as he’s always been, with his thick eyelashes and sad tilt of his head, there’s something about this version of him that just does it for her- embracing it, adorning himself in flowers and loose-fitting clothes that might’ve come straight off the rack of the women’s department section.

I'd Love to Turn You on by sleeprettydarling | the beatles | 6k

George is curious.

Mal keeps his voice low and careful when he says that it’s decided: they won’t be coming back to Twickenham. They won’t be coming back at all, unless.

kissing the blarney by tikk | the beatles | 20k

In which the band make a joke about kissing the blarney stone for luck. And Paul is the blarney stone.
Then the joke becomes a game, which turns into something more important, a ritual, a lifeline, a superstition. And it's not like they believe in it, but it's not like they don't. It becomes an emotional connection, threading them together. Something to hold on to within the fame and the noise. Something warm and loving. But delicate...

change the shape that I'm in by mynamesbetty | the beatles | 9k

John always had trouble seeing the consequences of his actions. He thought nothing of doing the same thing over and over, and still getting surprised when it came back to bite him. No schoolmaster could get through to him, he had to get caned before he’d realize he should stop picking fights and volleying insults. Of course he would fuck someone and never think he might fall pregnant.

Meet Paul McCartney. Forty years old. Husband, father of two, teacher turned PhD student. So far, so dull. Until he meets his new next-door neighbour, a successful writer by the name of John Lennon, who turns his life upside down.

open heart by paisana | the beatles | 23k

Paul turns into a vampire in December 1966. He does his level best to act like nothing happened, but John finds out anyway. It's hard have someone see a side of him he's not proud of.

I Need You Darlin' (So Come Go With Me) by beatlessideblog | the beatles | 165k

John Lennon is no-one's idea of a proper omega. Paul McCartney is a complication. Set 1956-1958.

Gretna Green Waltz by saintscully | the beatles | 21k

The Cast Iron Shore by M1ssunderstanding | the beatles | 23k

Based on that really long Beatles kink meme prompt that was basically "John pays Paul to have sex with him. This complicates things for some reason".

The Reeperbahn by M1ssunderstanding | the beatles | 38k

In the year past, John and Paul have established enough trust that they can fuck each other without hiding behind money transactions, and the band has grown enough to be asked to go to Hamburg on a performance contract. Other than that, everything is as it was. John and Stu still hook up on occasion. Paul still works the Cazzy most nights. And neither of them has found the courage to say how much they really love each other.

Mike Storms the Bastille by M1ssunderstanding | the beatles | 82k

A few months after his self-absorbed brother runs off to the continent with his fuck-up of a songwriting partner, Mike receives an invitation to spend Christmas with them in Paris.

Eddie needs a fake boyfriend. Buck is about to deliver the Oscar-worthy performance of a lifetime.

Mind Meld by Selena | the beatles | 7k

When Paul finally has his LSD trip with John, this has unexpected side effects. Unfortunately, the ability to literally read each other's minds solves absolutely nothing. On the contrary. Or: an alternative explanation for what happened in India, contributed to the break-up and so forth.

Of Truth and Hearts by macca_ron | the beatles | 52k | unfinished*

This is a somewhat long ABO fic that’ll go through John’s first pregnancy in 1964 to their settlement as a "big happy family" in the 70s, passing through a shitload of the canon drama and angst of the late 60s adapted to fit the story.

Carry That Weight by waveofahand | the beatles | 258k

A month after receiving their MBE’s Paul McCartney is ready to argue that the Beatles have as much or more power and social influence as those who would like to influence the band. Arrogant? Maybe, but it’s no justification for what happens to him after someone spikes his drink during a meet-and-greet with the toffs. Thus begins a nightmare for him, for the band, and especially for John Lennon and the whole "McLennon" relationship.

Unreflected by theloveyouareblessedwith | the beatles | 4k

An encounter with John in front of a mirror brings up strange feelings for Paul about image, reflections, and the parts that usually go unreflected.

Nothing at All by theloveyouareblessedwith | the beatles | 11k

John and George have never acknowledged the way John touches him at night, but George knows that’s how this kind of thing works, that things like this– intimate, embarrassing, electrifying things between two men – will always be relegated to silence and shadow and isolation. He does his best to be okay with that, to put reason to that, even as the guilt and confusion are taking over his life. He only wants to understand the rules, to do everything right, so John can’t look at him like a child and make him feel utterly stupid and worthless. Because surely this must mean he’s worth something to him. Even if it's against the rules to think that.
And then he finds out what exists between John and Paul, and the rules all fall apart.

hurricane rider by when_the_pawn | the beatles | 6k

‘Stop it,’ Paul hisses.
‘What?’ John says in mock surprise. ‘I thought you liked being good for me?’

Not A Word by permanentsecretary | the beatles | 8k

AU where Paul and John actually communicate minimally instead of whatever the fuck 1969 was. But of course they’re still very problematic because it's John and Paul. They decide to live in the moment for once and stop caring about consequences.

He meets the rest of their little family out of order, but they still build a family around Nicky's involuntary time-traveling.

Sitting in a studio, playing an instrument and waiting for the next argument, wasn’t good for his body or his soul. He was right to have left, he decided.

He’s not sure they believe him. He’s not sure any of them believe him. Disturbing, the tabloids said. Noel Gallagher’s incestuous fantasies, one titled.

Back to the Old House by easeoftheworld | oasis | 44k

Well, he's kind of got nowhere to live, what with Louise breaking up with him over the phone when he was in some dingy hotel in America a few months back. And with most of his friends of the past decade either having sacked him or just been sacked, to Mam’s he goes.

In 2000, in the city of Dublin, Liam Gallagher gets bitten by a vampire. Two days later, Noel realises his brother is going to starve if they don't do something quick.

Even with how badly he wants this, John wouldn't want it if he didn't think it would make Paul feel good. That's the point. It can be good, the three of them. It can work, if Paul lets it.

The Masterplan by SugarWorld | oasis | 9k

Noel had always been a planner, even when the world insisted on weaving it's own machinations to deliberately undermine him.

Noel knows where this is going. Of course he does. Him and the bloody creature on his bed share a mind. A degenerate, disgusting mind. (His Dark Materials AU)

Trying Sound (I Know You So Well) by Anonymous | oasis | 26k

Liam and Noel's life is shaped by the fact that Liam is different than the other kids. Quiet when he's not crying, so quiet that everyone tends to forget that he even has a voice. Everyone but Noel.

Fishhook by TeaandLiquor | oasis | 10k

In November of 1996, Oasis is recording their epic third album 'Be Here Now'. The band has played to historic crowds at Knebworth and Loch Lomond, and Oasis' most cocaine-fueled, chaotic period is in full swing.
Noel Gallagher is about to find out that winning control, and keeping it, mean precisely fuck all if you can't control yourself.

Kenet by matewan | oasis | 11k

Any-fucking-way, here is a list of everything Liam considers part of his hoard:
When he was really little, Noddy toys; thereafter their childhood bedroom and everything in it; Noel's apartment in India House; Noel's first apartment in London; a series of very stupid hats; every fucking song Noel ever wrote for Oasis, including the ones Noel kept back to sing himself; every fuzzy layering garment he has ever clapped eyes on through a shop window; Noel's time; Noel's attention; and lastly but also firstly and everything in between: Noel himself.

Paul is a siren and John falls in love with him

If he thinks about it, most of his blowjobs have happened under an NDA of sorts.

love put a gun in my hand by Snickfic | oasis | 40k

The truth was this: it was Liam’s baby, and Noel was having it.

the long and winding road by boneslen | oasis | 98k | on-going

Fourteen years later, the roads are still winding, the lights are still blinding, and there are still many things left unsaid, left behind to die in a scratched hole under the floorboards of a certain cramped council house. But someone needs saving. And someone else is realizing what to do.
Glimpses into the story leading to the reunion.

all through the circling years by mainpopgirl | oasis | 47k

Four months after crash-landing on a deserted island somewhere in the Pacific, Liam and his fellow castaways, long presumed dead, are rescued and returned back to civilization. In Liam’s case, back to England — and back to his brother, with whom he finds himself rapidly falling back into old and familiar rhythms.

do you wanna know how it feels on the inside? by livingstrange | oasis | 21k

It stays, that sort of thing, a stain that bleeds through onto everything else that has ever happened to you.

What they have is a madness shared by two and a new world to call their own.

blood didn’t always come with crying by Anonymous | oasis | 93k

Liam has a condition where he can’t feel physical pain since birth.

A breath of life by MyNameIsDanae | oasis | 59k

In Liam's defence, it started out small. First, his joints stopped hurting. Then his voice got better. And when he no longer grew grey hair, he started getting suspicious.
Or, Noel and Liam actually live forever.

The Body Trembles in its Borrowed Skin by TheHuxler | the beatles | 42k

Paul is born wrong.
Mary and Jim never talk about, and they make it clear Paul is never to talk about it either. They make it clear he is never to touch it, or think about it, and never, ever, let anyone else see.
Then he meets John Lennon, and George Martin, and things get much, much more complicated.

Here's Looking At You, Kid by RedheadAmongWolves | oasis | 13k

Liam’s working as a bartender at the pub where Noel keeps bringing his dates. Revelations are had, as in all good pubs.
