Summary
An archive for short fic I wrote on Tumblr that isn't long enough or polished enough to be a separate work.
(I'm not going to add characters or additional tags because I think it'll just be a big jumbled mess, sorry: too many disparate works and fandoms in one post! But see the beginning note in chapter 1 for a summary of each work.)

Summary
A fully fledged 22-episode rewrite - the same overall season arc, but very different individual episodes, character arcs, more character development, etc. All the things we wanted to see in Season 2 and which we didn't get - and keeping all the stuff we did like! This is about as shippy as the season 1 of the show, which means that there are plenty of moments for each and every ship you hope to see, but it's primarily gen.
18 authors have collaborated to bring you 22 full new episodes, with our collective vision for what Season 2 could have been.
Once you’re as excited about this new season as we are, come chat with us at @lotrewrite on tumblr! There you’ll find incredible bonus fanworks, including a full tarot deck art set by the amazing @kicking-shoes, and we encourage you to create your own works for our re-write! We welcome your art, meta, fic, vids, and general squee!

Summary
”This spell embodies our clan’s ancestral values of consensus and balance,” Lan Zhan’s brother says. “Right now, both of you are in Mr Wei’s body. In three days, both of you will be in Ah Zhan’s. And so on, back and forth, ad nauseum. The only way to lift the spell is for both of you to embody everything it represents, completely and wholeheartedly, of your own volition.”
Or: After a heated argument, Lan Zhan unwillingly finds himself sharing a body with his greatest rival, Wei Ying.

Summary
The System had been very clear: User 001 had transmigrated into Shang Qinghua’s character. For the past ten years, as he struggled against the limitations of his child body, Airplane had tried to reconcile himself with the fate that awaited him—the sect burning because of him, his neck snapped by a demon’s hand—and hoped desperately that he could change it somehow.
Except now… his fate seemed to have changed by itself?
“You have indeed been selected to join Xing Jiao Peak,” the teacher repeated. “Do you accept?”

The Gentleman-Scholar by babypangolin

Summary
For centuries, commoners and aristocrats alike have flocked to the capital for the Imperial Examinations. This year, the first-rank scholar would win not only a coveted spot in the Emperor's cabinet, but also the hand of his niece, the legendarily beautiful Princess Lan Zhan.
In hindsight, Wei Ying probably should have considered that before disguising herself as a man, trekking all the way to Chang'an, and taking the exam under her brother's name. In her defence, how was she supposed to know that all these other gentlemen-scholars were so dumb?

BREAKING NEWS: Manhattan Real Estate babe prefers CARPET over hardwood???
OR:
Wei Ying, breakout star of Netflix's Selling Manhattan, is slated to helm a Bachelorette-style dating show next year to find her one true love.
Lan Zhan, multi-instrumentalist for the award-winning band Gusu Junzi, is in New York for a one-year residency at the Manhattan School of Music.
These two events are unrelated. Or are they?
