time for another #xicheng weekly spotlight!

this time, a modern Detective AU in the form of Elu_ri’s longfic "Where Embers Lie"

archiveofourown.org/works/669117...

Where Embers Lie
Elu_ri

Summary:

They meet in a bar. It should’ve ended there.
But nothing is simple—not with the Wens tightening their grip on the city, not with lines blurring between allies and enemies, and certainly not when a one-night stranger becomes something much harder to walk away from.

happy #xicheng weekly spotlight!

this time we bring to you a gargantuan masterpiece with a time-travel twist: The Nine Battlegrounds (or The Art of War) by Shadow_Chaser

archiveofourown.org/works/275035...

The Nine Battlegrounds (or The Art of War)
Shadow_Chaser

Summary:

Fate does not like to be messed with and the attempt to correct what is the proper cycle set in stone pulls in a far more grim present and future for our heroes. Now, as the Wen rule over the lands, those that traveled back in time try to right the timeline and pay their dues.

Or: How messing with time-travel pulled a bad future for our heroes.

It's once again time for the #xicheng weekly spotlight!

This week we are featuring the fic Song to the Moon by RoboticNebula!

archiveofourown.org/works/24148204

Song to the Moon
By RoboticNebula
Summary:
A spell gone awry turns Lan Wangji back into a child and Wei Wuxian crashes at Jiang Cheng’s to wait it out. As a happy side effect, this gets Lan Xichen out of seclusion.

Merfolk and wizards AU in which everyone went through some shit but is slowly healing.
