can you recommend any post canon fics that focus on wwx cultivating his gold core again? Thank you in advance❤️
Hi nonny, we certainly can :)
We devided this rec into two parts because some of the pre-canon fics deal with “Dual Cultivation - Golden Core Formation” as well so you might check those out too!
The Painting of Hei Caihong by skulltoki (55+K, Explicit)
(Post-canon, Married Wangxian, GoldenCore Reform, Case Fic,Teacher!WWX)
“It is a portrait of a long haired person. A man with black hair. He is sleeping outside and going by the background and the spots of sunlight, he must be situated under a tree. He is wearing robes with lots of different colours on them, but the colours are very light in shade. There is yellow, pink, green, but they are barely noticeable. From afar you’d see it as white. He wears a very detailed hairpiece too, so he was someone of importance.”
Or, in other words, a self indulgent case fic where the bunnies have disappeared and WWX and LWJ are occupied with solving the mystery of a haunted painting.

As for Lan Wangji, no one had the right to move with as much speed and grace as he did just then, tugging his hand from underneath Wei Wuxian's just long enough to grab a book from the shelf and return as though he'd never left. It was the book Wei Wuxian had been catching in glimpses ever since Lan Wangji had brought it up to their room at the inn the night they received the summon to return to Cloud Recesses. The book Lan Wangji had been reading every time Wei Wuxian found him with an idle few minutes in an otherwise busy day. The book he had tried to find just earlier today before traipsing off to the Cold Pond Cave.
He'd been right to be suspicious of it, then, the way Lan Wangji flipped open to a specific page on the first try, as though by memory—or magic.
"It is not too late," Lan Wangji said and pressed the book toward him.
Lessons From My Confinement by Sweetpea704
(20+K, Mature, WIP - 9/20)
(Post-Canon, Hurt & Comfort, Married Wangxian, Golden Core Reform)
Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian are enjoying a time of peace. Wei Ying has been using the time to attempt to cultivate a golden core in his new body. Meanwhile, Lan Xichen has been in seclusion for two years. His regrets hold him in place and keep him from moving on. The weight of Jin Guang Yao's betrayal and the fact that Lan Xichen aided him, even indirectly, is a sorrow that threatens to overtake him. A stack of letters is delivered to Gusu. A note with the letters says, "Don't let him make the same mistake." With Wei Wuxian by his side, Lan Wangji will not easily let his brother's life end in a life of seclusion. He is tasked to read the letters to Lan Xichen, one every day. Can the lessons of their parent's tragic past, bring healing to a soul?

Sex, Science, and True Love: A Rigid Analysis of the Practical Applications of Dual Cultivation by aubreyli
(33+K, Explicit, WIP - 6/10)
(Canon Divergence, Episode 22 Related, Everyone Lives, Hair Grooming, Taoist Sexual Practices, LWJ’s Magical Healing Cock)
“I once heard a rumour that this is how Lan An and his cultivation partner did it,” Ma Qiao piped up. “Which, I mean, if anyone could…”
“The Lans are far too boring and repressed for something like this,” Wei Wuxian said, with the authority of one who had been resoundingly ignored by a Lan for the past month. “Can you imagine Lan Wangji dual cultivating?”
Everyone knows that dual cultivation is a myth that only works in porn. Wei Wuxian discovers differently.
P.S.: If you want a fic that heavily concentrates on dual cultivation and golden core reform related things--this is what you want to read.
Stainless by Fahye (6+K, Explicit)
(Sex Pollen, Temporary Golden Core Formation, Episode 43 Related)
"I'm starting to feel," says Lan Xichen, "that this was a counterproductive suggestion."
Wei Wuxian looks down onto the pristine, tranquil cold springs of the Cloud Recesses. Sitting in the water, their bare shoulders rising like dumplings carefully spaced in a steaming-basket, are a large number of Lan disciples.
"They seem to be doing better," he says, encouragingly. "If they--oh, no, I see what you mean."
At the near bank, someone has pressed someone else against the rocks and is kissing them frantically.

P.S.: (A very good fic that containts Temporary Golden Core Formation)
