    Summary

    Zhao Yunlan fades from his sight. Shen Wei lets his tears fall, a sob hitching in his throat. He blinks...

    ... and finds himself staring at the broad trunk of the locust tree that overhangs the Dixing gate in the park.

    One of the better fix-it fics out there, by virtue of being among the precious few that allows Shen Wei to take responsibility for his own mistakes and work tirelessly to correct them himself instead of leaving everything up to Zhao Yunlan. Special mention goes to the amazingly well-written Shen Wei POV: his iron-clad determination that's nevertheless tinged with fearful despair, how each failed attempt makes him more exhausted and careworn but also infinitely more patient, and the constant underpinning of boundless love for Zhao Yunlan and compassion for his brother that characterises him so vividly in drama canon.

    A smart, thoughtful - and, eventually, gratifying - read which packs an amazing amount of impact for its length.

    Summary

    A request for Danmei Gotcha for Gaza. Five quirks of Shen Wei's sex life being married to a newly reinstated god, and one thing that hasn't changed even the slightest bit.

    Try as he might to scold Yunlan with his eyes, he was sitting naked save for a bedsheet in front of the unabashedly beautiful form of Lord Kunlun in the light of a dawn fading from rose into gold. When the god cradled his chin and claimed his lips, those curtains of loose hair trailing against Shen Wei's shoulders and thighs, he was once again that naive young gui king who couldn't even name what he was looking for, begging Kunlun to bestow a kiss. It was like being young again at the dawn of time.

    A fantastic little sequel to the novel, with perfect characterization as the cherry on top.

    Summary

    Gojo Satoru is not gay. He’s not.

    He likes tits and asses, and long fucking legs and curves. Long hair and pretty faces. He’s never been into men like - and he should know, he’s been in some kind of sport his whole life, from wrestling to basketball, and now he’s in a frat house. There’s naked dudes around him at all times. If he were fucking gay, he’d know already, but it's the opposite! He gets the heebies jeebies from seeing dicks flop around in the locker room and he likes eating pussy!

    But no one in the world sucks his dick better than Geto Suguru, and Satoru thinks this is monstrously unfair.

    It's a source of constant amusement to me that one of the few JJK fics I've truly enjoyed is a PWP, but this little story is a refreshing change of pace in a ship whose fanworks are often laden with joyless angst.

    Summary

    "Every parent warns their child away from demons; Takao Kazunari’s mother was no exception. “Never make a bargain with Beasts, my son,” she said. “Live a virtuous life and demons will never cross your path.”
    But Takao Kazunari had never been good at living a virtuous life."

    Despite my long-held love for Kuroko no Basuke, none of the popular ships ever struck a chord with me. MidoTaka being one of the least objectionable of those ships, I dared to give The Frog in the Well a try, and found myself utterly charmed by its apt characterisation, understated-but-heartwarming romance, and surprisingly intelligent plot.

    Skilful worldbuilding, thrilling action sequences, and excellent characterisation. Though one should expect no less from whymzycal, who remains my favourite writer for the Saiyuuki fandom even to this day.
