LINKDING

Summary: <blockquote>In the years following the Sunshot Campaign, the mysterious, masked cultivator who’d defeated Wen Ruohan took on many identities: the Yiling Patriarch, leader of the Wen rebels, enemy of the Jin Sect, practitioner of wicked tricks. His true name was shrouded in mystery. He always wore a mask. He carried no sword; wore no clan colors or insignia. Clouds of resentful energy clung to him as he walked. But there was one thing that absolutely everyone agreed on: the Yiling Patriarch could not possibly be from the Jiang Sect. Or: a Scarlet Pimpernel/Untamed crossover featuring Wei Wuxian in disguise, Lan Wangji determined to bring the nefarious Yiling Patriarch to justice, and the hijinks that ensue when you accidentally marry your greatest enemy/love of your life.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The long-fallen god of strategists and scholars has but one devoted worshipper left. No one sees the Heavenly Martial Emperor Luo Binghe kneeling in front of a statue maintained only by his own careful hands, praying faithfully to his lost master: Shen Qingqiu, the god who took him under his wing when he ascended—and who was later struck down from Heaven by Luo Binghe himself.</blockquote> ➤ au with svsss characters in tgcf setting; sj & sy are twins ➤ love the au and some of the fun thematic things it was doing, but it felt like it all wrapped up a little too easily and quickly in the end

<blockquote>Wei Ying is running so late to his meeting with fellow grad student-slash-friend Lan Zhan. But in Wei Ying's defense, he has just learned that his grandmother is the Baoshan Sanren, zongshi of the extremely mysterious and highly scrutinized Celestial Mountain sect. Also, she wants to name him her heir?!</blockquote>

<blockquote>Théo travels in time (mostly by accident), meets a new friend, has a one-night stand, goes to see a play. A fairly ordinary day in the life of a young Romantic poet, really.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Binghe gets pushed into the Abyss but lands in the Way of the Househusband with a system of his own, and gets introduced to a man who, from Binghe's perspective, is currently living the dream!</blockquote> ➤ delightful not!fic with some fun side pairings too

<blockquote>A half-Vulcan and a half-Klingon walk into a dorm room. No, this isn't a xenophobic joke; Xichen is starting his first year at Starfleet Academy and his roommate turns out to be the tallest, broadest (kindest, handsomest) Klingon he's ever seen. . Three snapshots of settling into life on earth feat. culture shock and going to the gym for fun, profit, and gay pining. (No background Star Trek knowledge required!)</blockquote>

<blockquote>Two grown men get into a fight over the internet on a novel discussion forum over their favorite fictional characters. </blockquote>

<blockquote>Or: 3 looks at Jack Aubrey in the Temeraire world.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Oh my god, you guys: a heartbroken Luo Binghe decides to follow his beloved undergraduate advisor to Harvard, by any means necessary. "Here's your chance to make it, / so take it like a man!"</blockquote> ➤ author's note: "I'm not even tagging this for crack, you have eyes, you know what you're getting into." It's a fusion with legally blonde, and it's perfect

<blockquote>For reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, Shen Yuan wakes up in an unholy fusion of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and a xianxia. Luo Binghe makes an ideal children's story protagonist, but children grow up—and the protagonist is only willing to follow the plot so far.</blockquote> ➤ love the premise-building at the beginning about systems! and then the rest of it is just fun crack

<blockquote>Imperial Army Lieutenant Marcus Aquila thinks he has the worst posting ever--stuck in the lousiest garrison on the lousiest planet in the galaxy, with nothing to do but mind a desk and play Angry Mynocks, he'll never restore his family's honor. Then one of his men marches suspected Rebel spy Esca C'noval through the door, and Marcus finds out he was wrong. Things can always get worse. Note: This story contains some mild consent issues.</blockquote>

<blockquote>It was the first time James had seen Y’suf in nearly two Turns, since his best Harper – for intelligence as much as song – had gone to a Hatching at Ista Weyr and never come back, suddenly thrust into a new life as a brown dragonrider.</blockquote> ➤ a pern au where the characters are working on fixing all the oogy gender and sexuality stuff that goes on in the canon! beautiful ➤ so far: A Queen Weyr Flying Free Out Of The Blue Piece By Fragile Piece

<blockquote>Peter Wimsey/Lawrence of Arabia crossover. Yes. My brain scares me at times. At university, two opposites discover a common interest. Written for the Booze Fuh-Q Fest.</blockquote>

<blockquote>In 1988, Crowley met his freshman roommate at the University of Saskatchewan and accidentally fell in love. Over the years, he and Aziraphale have settled into their roles as a director of stodgy classics and big-budget musicals respectively. But now Crowley has been tasked with finding a student at their alma mater who the Festival's Marketing department are sure will put the final nail in the coffin of the classical drama side of the Festival with his new play, a theatrical retelling of Paradise Lost. Crowley has been instructed to guide the student—whose name his boss has inconveniently forgotten—towards their goal, but Crowley's not going undercover alone. He's bringing Aziraphale with him, hoping that they'll bring enough balance to young Warlock's life that he won't bring about the end of the Stratford Festival with his play. Meanwhile, Adam Young becomes thoroughly distracted from writing his play by the pining professors who seem to be teaching all of his friend Warlock's classes.</blockquote> ➤ I love everything this chooses to be

<blockquote>The footsteps came to a stop. Only one set, Will realized. That was intriguing. He cracked an eye, and by the skin of his teeth contained the wave of sick hot reaction that swept him. "Oh," he said. "It's you." The Mandalorian looked at him, and said nothing. Or probably looked at him, at least. Always hard to be sure, behind that damned helmet. (Or: The Mandalorian is the Mandalorian. Will Garin used to be his partner, in multiple senses of the word. It didn't work out great, last time they saw each other; but this time, things go a little differently.)</blockquote>

<blockquote>Methos and Aziraphale over time.</blockquote>

<blockquote>“I had to do some things, Mark, to get us funding for your rescue mission without sacrificing future Ares missions. I had to make some...deals, and leverage a lot of different relationships to put enough pressure on Congress to get funding. Wayne Enterprises helped a lot with that pressure.” Mark narrowed his eyes at Vincent. There were some rather concerning euphemisms and elisions there. “I’m really grateful for all that, Vincent. But what does that have to do with me going to dinner with Bruce Wayne?”</blockquote>

<blockquote>This isn't the first time Poe crashes onto a strange planet with no hopes of rescue, but this time he wants it known that this is all Han Solo's fault. At least he's not alone: BB-8's there to help. And also that confused, wary man over there, who seems to be hearing voices.</blockquote> ➤ in which Poe crash-lands into the post-fury-road desert

<blockquote>"Laurent's no use in a jaeger. Not any more," said Aimeric, soft and matter-of-fact. "He's broken."</blockquote>

<blockquote>Or, how the glorious Affair of the Motor Car on the Senate House Roof became the rather more alarming Affair of the Enormous Giants.</blockquote> ➤ this crossover works rather alarmingly well! I love seeing the Pevensies through the tone of the Psmith books

<blockquote>This is the story of how sleep came to Fairyland; or how once, just once, Puck didn't screw up his gift for Oberon. (A crossover with Elisabeth das Musical, but if you've ever read a fairytale involving Death, you won't be confused.)</blockquote>

<blockquote>"I was referring," said the man, "to the ongoing magical crisis that's threatening to destroy your entire world, and possibly several adjacent worlds as well. There is one, isn't there?" "I hope not!" said Leonard. An annoyed look flickered briefly across the man’s vague expression, and Leonard added apologetically, “You might inquire at the University? I’m afraid that I don’t get much news here." Rufus Drumknott has been in love with his employer for years, and he's sure that Lord Vetinari must know it. But it will take a visit from a couple of enchanters from another world, and a magical toddler running amok with one of Leonard of Quirm's flying machines, to get either of them to do anything about it . . .</blockquote>

<blockquote>“We going to get somewhere anytime soon?” Dom said. Brian was staring out the windshield. “Do you trust me?” “What the fuck kind of question is that?” Dom said. “If you say yes, I’m going to take you on the worst fucking ride of your life,” Brian said. “Do you trust me?”</blockquote>

<blockquote>In which, all timelines to the contrary, a young Parisian thief and knife-murderer meets a Veronese nobleman in a dark alley, and there is UST and vague hints of knifeplay. (Operettszínház Tybalt as usual.)</blockquote>

<blockquote>In which Tony Stark ditches a boring party, makes an addition to the household staff, throws a much better party, and tries not to sexually harass his new butler. Or, in which Thomas Barrow has a little trouble getting home from the pub, is generally unimpressed with many aspects of the 21st century, never thought of himself as a conservative dresser before, and may or may not be falling in lust with his new employer. tl:dr: Thanks to time travel, Thomas Barrow becomes the Avengers' butler.</blockquote>

➤ The one that posits that that minor character played by Peter Wingfield in whichever X-movie that was, was in fact a brainwashed Methos, who years later gets pulled out of the lake by the X-men. ➤ (Immortals turn out to be a variety of mutant, MacLeod and Methos adopt a mutant baby together, blah blah not much plot happens. ➤ I find the concept interesting and I enjoyed the first few chapters, as well as bits and pieces of later parts, but largely I found it rather boring. ➤ Somehow it managed to both seem too long AND like it was just scenes-from-a-story instead of the actual story itself.)

<blockquote>When Carlos invented a spacetime machine and took off into the wild, unexplored territory of the future, this isn't quite what he was hoping for.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Carlos's friend, who may or may not in fact be an angel, moves to Night Vale, and things start to get strange in a new and different way, even for Night Vale.</blockquote> ➤ the last in Melannen's les mis crossovers series.

<blockquote>Russell has a test for his dates. He calls it The Mr. Fredrickson Test.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Geoffrey Tennant made a career out of not allowing magicians to interfere with his productions. Darren Nichols, on the other hand, once turned his audience into grains of sand for a production of Beckett. The disagreement accidentally shapes their lives.</blockquote>
