In this world without a compass - the Fierce Corpse Wen Qing AU, where Wen Qing gives Wei Wuxian the push he needs to confess and learns to live for herself.

Wei Wuxian/Lan Wangji, Lan Sizhui/A-Qing (minor, came out of nowhere) (Complete, E, 101k)

Built by the fires of volcanoes - The end of the world was not Wei Wuxian’s fault. In fact, he’d slept through the event that doomed them.

After the Sunshot Campaign, 3zun threw the Yin Iron into the volcano at Nightless City. This was a bad idea. Twenty years later, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji travel back in time to prevent a hybrid volcanic eruption-zombie apocalypse. But their plan is going well, so there's plenty of time to relive their youths, convince the Dafan Wen to let them adopt their son, and matchmake friends and sisters.

Wei Wuxian/Lan Wangji, Wen Qing/Mianmian, Jiang Yanli/Jin Zixuan, background 3zun and Nie Huaisang/Wen Ning (Complete, T, 26k)

The problem with authority - When Qin Su learns the truth about Jin Guangyao after the death of her son, she sacrifice summons Jiang Yanli. It goes slightly sideways.

Jiang Yanli isn’t exactly one for revenge. But she does want her brother back, and the cultivation world could do with a bit of fixing. A resurrected Wei Wuxian is all too happy to help. But taking down Jin Guangyao would be easier if Lan Wangji stopped accidentally getting in the way.

Winged cupid painted blind - Lan Zhan walks in on his best friends hooking up and accidentally proposes a threesome. It all works out in the end.

Wei Wuxian/Lan Wangji, Friends with Benefits Wei Wuxian/Mianmian, background Qingmian (Complete, E, 6k)

Points for style - Wei Wuxian thinks he's getting together with the love of his life. LWJ thinks he's hooking up with a hot guy dressed like the cover of a romance novel. Turns out masquerades are a great place for anonymous hook ups, and a terrible place for confessions

Wei Wuxian/Lan Wangji, very background Xuanli, Qingmian, and Xiyao (Complete, E, 12k)

Through all the in-betweens - Arranged Marriage Fix-it where Lan Wangji deals with pre-wedding nerves poorly, a certain Jin patriarch is overinvested in wedding consummations, and Lan Xichen channels Amy Poehler in Mean Girls.

Wei Wuxian/Lan Wangji (Complete, E, 13k)

So hot you're hurting my feelings - Lan Zhan meets a cute boy, misinterprets Wei Ying's attempt to ask him out, and spends months pining for his own boyfriend.

Wei Wuxian/Lan Wangji, Wen Qing/Jiang Yanli (Complete, E, 40k)

Sweet beneath sharp edges - Lan Wangji arrives at Nevernight Manor expecting a quick exorcism, but his host is startlingly uncooperative. There's seemingly no ghost or monster to be found -- whatever Wen Ruohan's elderly stepmother says -- but he's subjected to nightly parties and jazz music. Worse, the irreverent gardener, Wei Wuxian, is far too handsome for Lan Wangji's good, but he can't stay away, even as he becomes increasingly convinced that the glittering façade is not what it seems. And something isn't quite right with Wei Wuxian himself.

Wei Wuxian/Lan Wangji, background Qingmian (Complete, E, 31k)

Inevitable everything - The Yiling Laozu demands Lan Wangji's hand in marriage in exchange for his aid in the failing Sunshot Campaign. Or so it seems.

Three months earlier, Lan Wangji is rescued from the Xuanwu of Slaughter's cave by a handsome man with a brilliant smile who wields a power he always believed corrupting and uncontrollable as easily as breathing.

Wei Wuxian/Lan Wangji, Wen Qing/Mianmian, Jin Zixuan/Jiang Yanli (Complete, E, 193k)

red strings and eager hands - Wei Wuxian is not invited to Jin Ling's one month celebration. Jin Zixun attacks him anyway. When Lan Wangji attempts to intervene, Wei Wuxian thinks he's betrayed him. The best way to prove him wrong? Putting himself at the Yiling Laozu's mercy. Lan Wangji has no regrets.

Wei Wuxian/Lan Wangji (Complete, E, 10k)

doing the wrong thing wholeheartedly - Long-time rivals Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji are sent to rid a seaside town of a sea monster, but thanks to monster chasing tourists, there's one room left at the only hotel in town -- the honeymoon suite.

Wei Wuxian/Lan Wangji, background Wen Qing/Mianmian (Complete, E, 19k)

save the party until it's time to bake - After another successful assassination, Wei Ying is summoned back home and given a new assignment: kill Wen Chao, the Second Prince of the Qishan Empire while he's visiting their small independent system. Arrogant, careless Wen Chao should be an easy target, but for some reason, Lan Zhan, Wei Ying's old best friend and new roommate, seems determined to thwart him.

Wei Wuxian/Lan Wangji, background Jiang Yanli/Wen Qing/Mianmian/Jin Zixuan and Nie Huaisang/Mo Xuanyu (Complete, E, 24k)

something wicked - Wei Ying runs a magical coffee shop where he helps the living work out their problems and makes coffee for ghosts. So when his best friend is turned into a bunny with a curse that can only be broken by True Love's Kiss, he tries to help Lan Zhan find The One. This would be so much easier if Wei Ying wasn't in love with him.

Wei Wuxian/Lan Wangji, background Jiang Yanli/Wen Qing/Jin Zixuan (Complete, T, 14k)

practicing our mistakes - When his father pushes him to join a competition for Crown Princess Jiang Yanli's hand, Lan Wangji blurts out that he’s already courting Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian agrees, in exchange for his help convincing Wen Qing to join the competition and win. Unfortunately for their plans, the Emperor of Lanling’s nephew is cheating his way through the competition, and if he wins, the entire Kingdom of Yunmeng will fall into a deep sleep that could last centuries.

Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji must keep up the courting act in front of their parents and prevent the curse from taking effect, all while ignoring their very real feelings.

Wei Wuxian/Lan Wangji, background Jiang Yanli/Wen Qing (Complete, E, 50k)

lovely thorns and singing crows - On the day of his father's funeral, Lan Zhan receives a box of letters from his long-missing mother. His quest to find her leads him to a spooky, kooky, and loving family who just might want him to stay forever. (And of course, to the man of his dreams).

Wei Wuxian/Lan Wangji, background Qin Su/Wen Qing (Complete,

Gen V

none is left to protest - When Marie's mysterious benefactor intervenes to prevent her expulsion and secure her place in the School of Crimefighting, Jordan sees her as a threat, albeit a distractingly beautiful one. They're not sure how they go from seeing her as the competition to irrevocably head over heels, but it probably has something to do with her smile.

Or, Luke doesn't kill Brink (yet), and Jordan and Marie have time to fall in love.

Star Wars

Series: There are no endings, only new beginnings:

Ahsoka runs through a portal in the Lothal Jedi Temple, and finds herself seventeen years in the past. Only to find everything is slightly different - her seventeen-year-old past self was just executed, Obi-wan is missing, and Anakin fell eight months early, prompting Order 66 just after her arrival. With only her questionably useful knowledge of the Empire as a guide, Ahsoka finds herself helping to build a rebellion from scratch. Again. But this time, with a few more Jedi left in the galaxy.

Part 1: One door closes, another opens - Ahsoka time travels, Obi-wan saves Satine, Padmé lives (Complete, 41k)

Part 2: The road to hell - Ventress lives ft. Vader (Dark Disciple AU)(Complete, 11k)

Part 3: Paved with good intentions - Ahsoka tries to convince an 18 year old version of her ex-girlfriend to trust her, Kanan is an angsty teenager and tired of babysitting, Satine struggles to find her place in a galaxy where pacifism can't win, Obi-wan searches for equilibrium. None of these problems can be solved with sarcasm, but they'll certainly try (Complete, 37k)

Part 4: Time to Toss the Dice - Series of interconnected one shots as the twins grow up, because the Empire won't fall in a day, or even a year. (on hiatus, 70k)

in a way john watson is a fantasy (what if you had this brilliant enigmatic friend and what if he liked you in particular and what if he offered you the excitement of youth and adventures and a way out of boring society life and all without having to actually give up your status as a gentleman so you could have the best of both worlds) and in a way sherlock holmes is a fantasy (what if someone never got tired of you despite your various strange habits and mood swings and instead of simply tolerating you they genuinely liked you and what if you didn’t have to live alone forever and what if you never had to give up doing the things you love) and of course there’s the most fantastical part of it all (what if you could afford london housing prices)

[chainofclovers]

Put in the tags the completely finished (whether cancelled or wrapped up on its own terms) TV series that has YOUR perfect ending, however you define that

Please don’t include huge spoilers for the specifics of the endings, and it would also make me happy if people don’t use this to talk about the shows whose endings they hated

Can I be honest with yall I don't want to hear SHIT against cishets at pride this year

[teaboot]

"But it's not FOR them!!!" The biggest military power in the world belongs to a christofascist nation overseen by a felon found guilty of 34 federal crimes and has greenlit a gestapo with more direct funding than the entire military of Canada for the purpose of ethnic cleansing. Let Hetero Jessica throw some biodegradable glitter at a municipal parade

[teaboot]

At this point if anyone is trying to exclude anyone benignly pro-queer from a pro-queer space I'm just going to assume you're a fed or something idk like something something destabilize the movement from within or whatever

[powerbottombrucespringsteen]

The thing is nobody at pride is evaluating you to determine if you’re queer enough to be there because they’re too busy thinking “it’s so hot out” and “why is this lemonade 12 dollars?”

Buy Queer Creations, Support Queer Causes: 2026 Story and Art Bundles for Charity!

HAPPY PRIDE! It’s time for our fourth-annual Pride Bundle charity drive! We’ve got three bundles this year: a general imprint bundle with 25 titles totaling 381 pages; an explicit bundle of 15 stories, 237 pages; and an art bundle with 10 artworks, 250 mb of digital artwork! In the first three years of this initiative, we’ve raised over $725 for the charities we’ve selected, and we’re delighted to be back, this time in an effort to raise money for the Queer Liberation Library ( @queerliblib ) and the Transgender Law Center.

The General Imprint Bundle costs $25 USD (60% off normal!). 40% of this sales price will be divided equally between the two charities.

The Explicit Imprint Bundle costs $15 USD (60% off normal!). 44% of this sales price will be divided equally between the two charities.

The Art Bundle costs $10 USD (66% off normal!). 24% of this sales price will be divided equally between the two charities.

How This Works

You buy one or both bundles between now and June 30th, 2026.

We tally up all the proceeds earned and do some math-e-magic to figure out how much we’re donating!

Before the end of July, we divide our total raised amount in half and donate equal amounts to the Queer Liberation Library and the Transgender Law Center.

We post the proof that we’ve made the donation (you can see past proof here, here, and here.)

You get fantastic stories!

We all get that happy, glowy feeling of knowing that money has been well-spent on fantastic causes!

About the Press

Duck Prints Press is a queer-owned indie press, founded to publish original works by fancreators. We’ve been in operation for over 5.5 years, and in that time we’ve worked with well over 150 creators to publish ten anthologies and over 200 other stories, from shorts to novels, and we’ve got more on the works (five anthologies in progress, multiple novels slated for the later half of 2026, an art project, and more). The vast majority of our creators and their creations are queer/LGTBQIA+ (maybe even all, but we don’t out anyone and we don’t ask demography because, frankly, it’s none of our business).

About Our Selected Charities

Note: These charities are not affiliated with the Press, do not know we’re doing this fundraiser, have not endorsed this in anyway and are, as such, utterly uninvolved in this beyond being the beneficiaries of our efforts! Text is from their webpages.

The Queer Liberation Library: “Queer Liberation Library (QLL) is fighting to build a vibrant, flourishing queer future by connecting LGBTQ+ people with literature, information, and resources that celebrate the unique and empowering diversity of our community.”

The Transgender Law Center: “Transgender Law Center is the largest national trans-led organization advocating self-determination for all people. Since 2002 we’ve been organizing, assisting, informing and empowering thousands of individual community members towards a long-term, national, trans-led movement for liberation.”

About the Bundles

We are offering three bundles: general imprint stories, with 25 works; explicit imprint stories, with 15 works; and art, with 10 works. The shop listings include details about and excerpts from all the stories and previews of all the art. Purchasing book bundles gets you access to the e-book (in ePub and PDF formats) of each title included in the bundle. Purchasing the art bundle gets you access to high-quality print-ready images, sized to print clearly at 8.5 in x 11 in (21.6 cm x 27.9 cm) (FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY!). Here’s what you’ll get!
