    WOW, this is good. Terrifically brought characters to life (and not just by resurrecting Dominic, lol).

    Saw Banshees in the theater last year, and it bruised my heart a bit (in the best way). So it was very random that I even ended up in the ao3 tag all this time later, but I’m so glad I did. This fic scratched such an itch.

    Summary

    Jin Ling hadn’t thought to keep track of Wei Wuxian.

    Clearly that had been a mistake.

    As of ch6, ShanaStoryteller is, like... Enlightened. Hottest takes (via Jin Ling) only.

    Lan Wangji gives him a tolerant look that makes Jin Ling want to scream. “Wei Ying has been through much. He’s had to shoulder so much responsibility for so long. He deserves a chance to enjoy his freedom and see the world. He’s earned at least that much.”

    It’s a sweet sentiment, but really just confirms Jin Ling’s suspicions. Lan Wangji is an idiot. “What are you talking about? Uncle Ying loves responsibility!”

    Lan Wangji raises an eyebrow and Jiang Cheng snorts.

    Jin Ling changes his mind. They’re both idiots.

    [ins. incensed nephew listing off myriad ways in which WWX has historically excelled in leadership roles, has taken charge in perilous situations and helped people where others would balk at doing the same]

    [rant continues—] “Uncle Ying is so notorious for taking responsibility for shit that Sect Leader Nie constructed a whole convoluted revenge plot around the idea that if only he stuck Uncle Ying in the middle of a problem, he’d go to any lengths to fix it . . . If Uncle Ying isn’t given enough responsibility, he’ll invent some.” (rip me)

    fic is summarized well by its author’s notes—

    jin ling, fishing wei wuxian out of the garbage: finders keepers

    alternative title: "jin ling yells at people who don't love wei wuxian correctly"

    Also. Mianmian and baby Mianmian are here (Mr. Mianmian too). Jin Ling actively enjoys Wen Ning’s company, crushes on Jingyi, and unknowingly battles Sizhui for fatherly affection. Just. So much good stuff going on.

    I love Madam Lan fics! I’m also very into stories where she runs into Wei Wuxian, and variations on their subsequent rapport.

    Something also real good about Liu Meihui having crossed paths with Cangse Sanren in the past and thinking, “Damn, if this thing took her out, I don’t know how the hell I’m supposed to manage,” while risking her life nonetheless to do what she can for this sad little kid she found the day before.

    Lan Xichen tries to help Wei Wuxian, but saves himself along the way.

    Or alternatively: dangerous rituals, facing old ghosts and a lot of tea.
