Summary
“But it's a trap, Wei Wuxian. We are only alive on this mountain. If you leave, you may as well be a walking corpse already.”
Wei Wuxian makes a little huff of air through his nose, almost a laugh. “I haven't felt alive for a long time, Wen Qing.”Wen Qing is convinced that Jin Ling's 100 Days party is a plan to get Wei Wuxian killed, and refuses to let him go. In the seasons that follow, the Burial Mounds stops being some kind of purgatory, and starts to become a home.

Bookmarker's Notes
This is exactly how I imagine eking out a life in the burial mounds would go if things hadn't come to a head at Qiongqi pass. Many compounding problems but also incremental progress. Really captures the feeling of how hard they have to fight for every little victory and how many things go wrong along the way but then how much it means to them as a community to get there in the end and the way the hardship brings them all together even as it wears them down individually.
Great platonic but super deep relationship between Wei Wuxian and Wen Qing. They both struggle but support each other and rely on each other. Love how they really understand each other so well and how it's not all sunshine and sometimes they get frustrated with each other or have to fake a smile but in the end they both keep choosing to do their best by the other.
Not enough Wen Ning, especially considering its Wen Qing POV and he's such a touchstone for both her and Wei Wuxian.
Overall fantastic and criminally underrated.

Summary
Let us consider the fact that the Jedi Order is a monastic religious organization based out of a temple, with five basic tenets of faith.
Ch 1: Death, yet the Force (meeting Anakin)
Ch 2: Chaos, yet Harmony (teaching Anakin)
Ch 3: Passion, yet Serenity (teaching a teenaged Anakin, good grief)
Ch 4: Ignorance, yet Knowledge (Anakin is a Knight now, why is he still Obi-Wan’s problem?)
Ch 5: Heresy, yet Orthodoxy (actual plot? Ie, Clones and Sith)
Ch 6: Emotion, yet Peace (epilog)Ch 7: extras / deleted scenes

Bookmarker's Notes
Great perspective on the Jedi, strongly shows their status as a religion and an organisation that above all attempts to do good. Possibly the only story where the Jedi no attachments rule is respected. No bashing or lionising of characters; everyone is doing their best, everyone has flaws. Great reflection of Obi-Wan and Anakin's relationship and each of their characters. I like that even at the end there are still things about Anakin that Obi-Wan doesn't understand and there are insights about Obi-Wan that Anakin has which Obi-Wan himself doesn't see since usually its only the other way around. As a personal preference, I really like this author's take on the light vs dark side of the Force.

Tsuna needs a job and the café is less than a ten-minute walk from his house. The down side is that the owner is a hitman, but if you ignore the whole murderer thing then it's actually a really good job.

Summary
Lavender takes one step forward and – just like the snap of a finger, the blink of an eye, the drop of a pebble – Hogwarts is left behind. There's no jump, no flashes of light, no whirlwinds of disconnected images. Just one little step; behind stood her war and in front stands 1947. "Huh," she says to herself, "didn't see this in the tea leaves."

Bookmarker's Notes
Such a great characterisation of Lavender. Leans into her canonical interest in divination but she's not immature or naive as she was when she was younger. Unlike most time travel stories she doesn't charge into the middle of key past events or contact important characters but rather gets on with building a life for herself. And yet she is firm in her beliefs and dangerous when she needs to be.

His phone buzzes again and Shen Yuan scoops it up irritably. It’s another message from DemonHeart.
DemonHeart: you seem to be a Luo Binghe fan
DemonHeart: we can get you access to him
Shen Yuan scowls.
PeerlessCucumber: do I look like I was born yesterday?
The response is instantaneous. A picture pops up on screen. Shen Yuan vaguely recognizes the woman that plays the drums, still in full stage makeup. Next to her, arm slung around her waist, is a face Shen Yuan would know anywhere. Luo Binghe, giving a wry smile to the camera.
DemonHeart: he’s a fan, you know

Summary
Sizhui cannot plaster a smile on his face and act like he doesn’t want to crawl out of his skin at the mere thought of being affiliated with Cloud Recesses — of being a Lan, in all honesty — like he doesn’t want to burn the whole place down. Logically, it’s probably not true, it’s not a reflection of himself, but something about staying here, in this comfort, and maintaining a sense of normalcy feels like consenting to the genocide of his people.
What do you do when your home no longer feels like home?

Summary
Shang Qinghua has been harbouring a crush on his ex-roommate and current boss, Mobei-Jun, for the past eight years. He has tried every method in the book short of standing in front of Mobei-Jun stark naked with a banner that says “Would you like to fuck?”, but Mobei-Jun remains oblivious to his very homosexual feelings. Having enough of an unrequited love, Shang Qinghua decides to give up on his CEO and revive his lacklustre acting career instead. But why does it seem the more Shang Qinghua tries to distance himself from Mobei-Jun, the clingier that man becomes!?
Mobei-Jun aren’t you the CEO of a talent agency!? Why are you appearing on the set of every show I’m on!? Why are you rejecting every screenplay with kissing scenes in them!? What are you posting on your Weibo!?
In short:Entertainment Industry AU whereby Mobei-Jun is an acclaimed actor and CEO of a talent management company, and Shang Qinghua is a C-tier actor too busy trying to seduce said CEO to build his career.

An AU where the Lan Xichen is the Emperor; Lan Wangji is the Crown Prince; the Jin, Jiang, and Nie are Dukedoms; and even 13 years dead, Wei Wuxian is still the most feared man in all of China. Newly resurrected, Wei Wuxian would love nothing more than to cultivate a core and go become a rogue cultivator.
Except, there's something very suspicious going on in the Imperial Palace, and while Wei Wuxian might not be able to help Lan Wangji in solving it, the unassuming and soft-spoken "Prince-Concubine Mo" sure can.

Well written and well thought out with a super intriguing plot. Differences from canon are hinted at early and then slowly revealed over the course of the investigation, same with seemingly inconsequential details that later turn out to be foreshadowing.
Treats villains and societal injustice and morality well.

Summary
Yuuto Shigaraki, the First One for All User, gets knocked forward in time before he can pass on his quirk. Trapped in a much darker future where One for All never brought forth salvation, he rescues a young Izuku Midoriya from human traffickers. A boy with an uncanny resemblance to his older brother. Without an ID, lacking any money to feed his newly adopted child, and still determined to be a hero, Yuuto launches an exciting vigilante career stealing from organized crime.
He makes one mistake: he assumes everyone from his past would have died of old age by now, including his older brother.
So he doesn’t try particularly hard to hide his identity…or Izuku’s.
OR: A centuries-old feud between brothers is about to turn into an epic custody battle over Izuku Midoriya, the son of All for One and nephew of One for All—with the fate of Japan hanging in balance.

Summary
"While any single person can be stripped of rights for an arbitrary reason, no one’s rights are safe.” Blah, blah. Katsuki’d heard Izuku’s propaganda plenty of times. “You can’t really be free because what if tomorrow’s arbitrary reason for discrimination targets you?"
"Eventually repression leads to either restitution or retaliation. We wanted restitution. Your lot chose retaliation. And it’s always the sweetest people that retaliate hardest.”
Bakugou Katsuki literally saw the civil war coming, in a vision some extra's quirk showed him in junior high. Maybe he should have done something about it.

Very interesting societal politics. So much irony and poetic justice but it isn't forced. Realism about the costs of revolution.
