My Favorite Merthur Fics (Part 3)

Part 1 I Part 2

*******************

Soulmates

* Fundamentally Flawed by QueenofCamelot

”Growing up without a soul mark was never easy for Arthur. According to science, to the universe, he wasn’t meant to be loved.”

* Missing Mark by violentincest

“Everyone is born with a soul-mate tattoo except for Arthur.”

* Tally Mark by supercalvin

“When someone falls in love, a red tally mark appears on their wrist. When the love is returned, the mark turns black. When someone falls out of love, the mark fades, but never entirely. When the person you love dies, the mark turns into a scar.”

* Thousand Times Worse. Or Better? by elirwen

“Forced by Morgana’s nagging, Arthur visits soulbond guidance office. Merlin Emrys is asigned to be his guide. That’s where the simple ends and complicated begins.”

* Strike of Lightining (Canon Era) by helloearthlings

“Uther’s commandment was very simple: If there should come a day when Arthur met his soulmate, he would drive a sword through their chest and kill them on sight.”

* The Secrects We Hide on Our Skins (Canon Era) by Michaelssw0rd

“Merlin had a penchant for wearing ugly neckerchiefs, and Arthur had a tendency to become obsessed with everything related to his manservant. It didn’t help that they both had secrets they wanted to keep hidden more than anything else.“

* Deeds (Canon Era) by the5leggedCricket

“Arthur is coming of age, and that means he’s about to get Deeds—marks on his body telling him of his soulmate’s greatest accomplishments. But as he tries to find his soulmate, he also makes some worrying discoveries about the kind of person his soulmate is.“

* Rings of Fire, Dragons and Swords (Canon Era) by Guardian_Rose

“It wasn’t that he was ashamed of it or that it was ugly like the other children in the village had whispered behind his back or that it wasn’t there at all. The problem was that Merlin had magic, always had and always would, so his mark changed. Not often. Not every week or even every month. But it would transform into something new and Merlin would feel an inkling of the burns his soulmate must have felt when they were first claimed. Arthur’s mark hadn’t changed for years when he met Merlin. Not since a golden dragon had wound it’s way up and around his shin and leg with blue fire just to top it off.“

[It has a 2nd part that it’s still a WIP but looks amazing: New Century, New Mark, New Start]

* One Soulmate to Go by TsingaDark

“In a world where soulmates exist, Arthur still hasn’t found his other half.”

Virginity

* Wicked Game by winterstorrm

“Arthur’s the King of Camelot…nightclub.  He can pick and choose who he wants, and he does – often – no promises and absolutely no repeats.  The night he chooses Merlin might just be his undoing.“

* Seven Long Years by winterstorrm

”Arthur and Merlin are both eighteen, and the both of them are still virgins. One night, they’re a little drunk, and create a pact to lose their virginities to one another if they haven’t lost it by the time they’re twenty-five.”

* Virgin Territory by ingberry

“Gwaine’s parties are legendary. It’s mostly because of the orgy in the basement where people offer themselves up for the greater good. Merlin figures that’s a smashing way to get rid of his virginity, mostly because he’s never seen anyone from his high school at Gwaine’s. The idea seems a lot worse when he’s on his knees, naked and blindfolded. Thank fuck for the guy who grabs him and hauls him back up the stairs.“

* Virginity for Sale by teprometo

“Arthur’s just dicking around on Craigslist London when he sees that a university student is selling his virginity to the highest bidder. He has no logical reason to believe it’s Merlin, but he does, and after some ethically questionable snooping, he discovers that he’s correct. A series of bad decisions ensues.“

* Taking it Slowly (Canon Era) by et_cetera55

“Prompt: Can we have some shy, virgin, scared Merlin fics with gentle and tender Arthur?”

Transgerder

* Summer is Late, My Heart by Polomonkey

“It’s the hottest day of the year and Arthur meets an old friend at the beach.Then it’s sun and sand and love, as usual.“

* Little Wooden Boy and the Belly of Love by new_kate

“Arthur moves to a a different city to start a new life and become a new man. On a whim he decides to share a flat with an attractive stranger, and quickly gets drawn into Merlin’s odd little world.“

Something interesting I’ve learned - although I don’t know if this has a name in any other language, but in Korean this position is called “manner legs”. It refers to people stretching their legs to sink down to a smaller height so people working or filming with them could either work on their hair and makeup or appear to be their same height.

🐇 ALL YOUR WAVES AND BREAKERS BY ILIP13

💕 Pairing: Wangxian  │ Pandemic / Quarantine Fic │ Status: Completed  │ One shot 

Author’s summary: Wei Ying huddles even further into himself and looks at Lan Zhan through long, enchanting eyelashes. “Is it really okay that I stayed for so long?”

I love you, the words refuse to spill from Lan Zhan’s mouth. I missed you so much. You could stay forever and that would more than okay.

“You are always welcome here,” Lan Zhan says instead. Maybe one day, on a better day, he will say the actual words that he wants, means to say.

—

Five times Wei Ying asks to stay, and one time Lan Zhan does the asking.

🐇 YEAR OF NIGHT CALL BY AILURIDAE (ABIGAILNICOLE)

💕 Pairing: Wangxian (Doctor!Lan Wangji x Doctor!Wei Wuxian)  │ Doctors AU - Hospital AU  │ Status: Completed  │ One shot │ Colleagues & Friends to Lovers  │ the Lan Babies are surgery interns

Author’s Summary: Very few jobs give you the perfect storm of moral high ground, manic energy, and being a huge dick to people on the regular that Wei Wuxian finds so satisfying about trauma surgery. However, they don’t call it trauma for its psychological wellness. A year of q2 36 hour call would be unbearable if Lan Wangji weren’t the other fellow that he shares a call bed with.

A “What If All The Cultivators Were Surgeons?” AU.

🐇R/RELATIONSHIPS BY VESPERTINEFLORA

🐇 SYNESTHESIA BY UCHIUCHI

💕Pairing:  Wangxian (College Student!Lan Wangji x College Student!Wei Wuxian) │ College AU │ Status: Completed  │ One shot │ Strangers to Lovers

Author’s summary: When the darkness fades away and a face pops up, Wei Ying almost falls out of his chair.

What the fuck, he thinks. What the fuck what the fuck what the fuck.

Wei Ying counts to three, takes a breath, then shoots upwards. “Sorry, I dropped my pen,” he says, not even trying to make his lie sound convincing, because what the fuck, Lan Zhan is gorgeous. He has the brightest eyes Wei Ying’s ever seen, the nicest, longest eyelashes, and black hair draping over his shoulder. This guy has clearly won the lottery of attractive genes, which means he must be lacking in something else, like maybe his voice—

“It’s fine.”

WHAT THE FUCK, Wei Ying thinks. WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK.

(In which Wei Ying and Lan Zhan, students from different universities, are assigned to complete a senior project together.)

🐇 SOME THINGS GO FORWARD BY EVERYTHINGISPOETRY 

💕 Pairing:  Wangxian (Cancer Patient!Lan Wangji x Volunteer!Wei Wuxian) │ Hospital AU - Sick Fic  (with Happy Ending)│ Status: Completed │ Chapters: 14 │ Strangers to Lovers

Summary:  “Sooo pretty” doesn’t really do it justice: it’s the most beautiful human being he’s ever seen. The jade-like pale skin. The cheekbones. The lips. The eyes, oh heavens, those eyes, and the insane waist-long hair. Wei Ying has studied art for a while now, but really, it all pales in comparison. In which Lan Zhan is a patient, Wei Ying is a volunteer (and a previous patient of the same hospital) and there is some falling in love.

🐇 THESE THINGS STAY THE SAME BY NOTEVENYOU

💕 Pairing: Wangxian (Lan Wangji x Journalist!Wei Wuxian) │Setting: Modern AU - Kid Fic │ Status: Completed │ One shot │ Friends to Lovers

🐇 ONE GOOD THING BY YUU_CHI

When Lan Wangji buys the house, Wei Wuxian fully intends to drive him off too. Except Lan Wangji is beautiful, and interesting, and captivating company - even if he supposedly doesn’t know Wei Wuxian exists.

🐇 PAINT SMEARS ON SUNNY DAYS BY SNOWSHADOWAO3

💕 Pairing: Wangxian (Single Parent / Music Composer!Lan Wangji x Kindergarten Art Teacher!Wei Wuxian)│ Modern Setting: Kid Fic │ Status: Completed  │ Chapters: 5 

Author’s summary: To say that he runs to his car would be incorrect, as he is a Lan, and running is both undignified and unnecessary unless in immediate danger. Nor does he slam his key into the ignition, or aggressively swerve around the cars on the freeway, or have a mild panic attack at the fact he is picking A-Yuan up late from school for the first time ever.

He comes close, though.

By the time he arrives, it’s 4:35PM, and he has imagined about fifty different worse-case scenarios. The door is partly open when he gets to it, a messy label of 104B—Art Room scrawled with chalk on a placard next to the faded wood. As he opens it fully, he expects to see a wailing, terrified child, or perhaps a scene of utter misery and betrayal.

What he finds is his son, hands covered in paint, being sung to by a beautiful, dark-haired stranger.

“Ducks live in the pond, yellow ducks, happy ducks!”

Lan Wangji stops in his tracks. (Or: Falling in love with your son’s art teacher, in five parts)

🐇 WE WILL GET HIM FALLING FOR A STRANGER (OR A CATFISH) BY SWEETLOLIXO

💕 Pairing:  Wangxian (College Studnt!Lan Wangji x College Student!Wei Wuxian) │ Status: Work in Progress but almost completed │ Secret Identity │ LWJ learns how to text with kaomojis │ Gossipy aunties NHS and WWX

Lan Wangji: Yingying?

Lan Wangji: Are you busy with class?

Lan Wangji: Won’t disturb you if that’s the case.

Lan Wangji: (´• ω •`)

Wei Ying wants to cry.

What jock uses kaomojis? Ever?

Or, Wei Ying is hired by a client to catfish Lan Wangji online, as a hot girl, for revenge. Except, Lan Wangji is not the playboy jock he expected…

🐇 CHILD’S PLAY BY FLOWERCITY (FAORIE)

💕 Pairing:  Wangxian (Lan Wangji x Single dad!Wei Wuxian) │ Setting: Modern AU - Kid Fic │ Status: Completed  │ One shot 

Author’s Summary: In which Lan Zhan falls hard for the single father he met at the park, A-yuan decides his small family is in need of a new member and Wei Ying is helpless on this ride (but he loves it anyway).

🐇THE WORLD IS OUR STADIUM BY ANONYMOUS

💕 Pairing: Wangxian (Hockey Player!Lan Wangji x Hockey Player!Wei Wuxian)  │Sports: Hockey AU │ Status: Completed  │ One Shot │Friends to Lovers

Author’s summary:  “Don’t be so vulgar,” says Wei Ying, patting Lan Zhan’s knee with a grin. “I’m just vibing on ice. You break a few bones. Win some, lose some. All in the name of the game.”

“There is no such rule in the rulebook.”

“Aiya, Lan Zhan, I can’t believe you go around memorizing rulebooks. No wonder you don’t break any bones.”

“Breaking a bone is not an accomplishment, Wei Ying.”

“Then all your bones will be brittle and sad, like wilted romaine lettuce.”

🐇 WELCOME TO GUSU by PERKYNURPLES

💕  Pairing: Wangxian ( Senior Counsellor !Lan Wangji x Senior Counsellor!Wei Wuxian)  │ Summer Camp AU │ Status: Work in Progress but almost completed │ Childhood Friends to Lovers

Author’s Summary: Deep in the lush forests of Gusu hides an aging resort that hosts dozens of children every summer for an unforgettable couple of weeks. It’s where Lan Wangji grew up alongside Wei Wuxian, and when his childhood friend (for the lack of a better term) surprisingly returns years later in the position of Senior Counsellor, seemingly hell bent on causing the same kind of mischief that got him kicked out of Gusu in the first place, but also taller, broader and tanner than ever before, Lan Wangji knows he’s In Trouble. Or, this fic has it all: longing looks over campfires, found family dynamics, ill-timed skinny dipping, teenagers inappropriately shipping their counsellors, LAKE MONSTERS

🐇 A SPRINTER AND A DISTANCE RUNNER WALK INTO A BAR BY HAPLESSMEDRESIDENT

💕 Pairing: Wangxian (College Student!Lan Wangji x College Student!Wei Wuxian) │ Modern Setting: College/University AU - Sports AU │ Status: Completed  │ Chapters: 5 

Author’s summary:  Wei Wuxian got into running mostly to channel his wayward energy into something moderately productive. He didn’t expect to be podiuming for it, certainly not for an NCAA division I university to be offering a free ride through college for him to run with them.

Lan Wangji just wants to get his 400M hurdles to be less than 50 seconds.

And possibly a chance at the Olympics.

And then he sees the new Foot Locker champion – a freshman, apparently a prodigy, apparently just 17 – at the Cobb Track, and maybe he wants just a little bit more.

🐇 HOW TO BE A HEARTBREAKER BY SWEETLOLIXO

💕 Pairing: Wangxian (Sugar Daddy!Lan Wangji x Sugar Baby!Wei Wuxian) Sugar Dating AU │ Status: Completed  │ Chapters: 16 

Author’s summary: “Lan er gege,” Wei Ying sings out an old nickname, his lips curving up into a well-rehearsed smile. It’s adorable, and it’s pretty, and he knows it mesmerises anyone who lays their eyes on him. He has done it a million times—bewitching and convincing men who need to be convinced.

He just doesn’t expect to hear the hitch in Lan Zhan’s breath, too, and feel the taller man’s grasp around his wrist tightening.

He fell for it.

A sickening thought suddenly enters his brain, and Wei Ying wonders if he should be so cruel.

“Do you want to find a private space for us, Lan Zhan?”

Canon/ Canon Divergence:

🐇GROW BY CAFECLICHE

💕 Pairing: Wangxian │ Setting: Post Canon │ Status: Completed  │ One shot 

Author’s Summary:  “Okay,” Jingyi says, as Sizhui puzzles this out aloud. “Okay! So the demon has been turning its victims into children.”

“I think so,” Sizhui says.

“To make them easier prey,” Jingyi says.

“Yes,” Sizhui says.

“So—” Jingyi’s voice cracks here, “this kid is Senior Wei.”

Wei Wuxian, still tangled in his own massive robes, blinks politely at them.

(Or: Wei Wuxian is cursed on a night-hunt, and the junior quartet rapidly finds themselves in over their heads.)

🐇 A LITTLE HAPPINESS BY SUSPICIOUS_POPSICLE

💕 Pairing:  Wangxian │ Setting: Post Canon │ Status: Completed  │ Chapters: 3 

Author’s Summary: It was a beautiful, sunny day. A crisp, cool breeze was blowing, offset by the warm rays of the sun. The grass was vibrantly green, sprinkled with tiny white flowers. The rabbits were out, hopping contentedly around their meadow, practically begging to be picked up and cuddled. All of it was made surreal by the fact that a six-year-old Lan WangJi sat in the middle of the clearing, silently petting a black rabbit that had made itself comfortable on his lap.

Wei WuXian sat nearer the edge of the meadow, legs crossed at the ankles, chin in hand, and his elbow resting on his knee. He stared at Lan WangJi, searching for happiness in him.

🐇 AND THEY HAVE ESCAPED THE WEIGHT OF DARKNESS BY COSMICMILKTEA

💕 Pairing:   Wangxian  │ Canon Divergence  │ Status: Completed  │ One shot │Amnesia │ Memory Loss 

Author’s Summary: In the aftermath of everything, the scars of thirty-three lashes heavy on his back, Lan Wangji walks.

He walks through a land ravaged by war, by hunger, by death and sheer neglect, walks through a land that the Cultivation world all but forgets in their own haste to rebuild. He upholds justice, protects the weak. Lives with his regrets.

And then, in a small village South of Qishan, he finds Wei Ying - Alive, smiling, and asking Lan Wangji for his name.
