You are into JGY and NMJ, right? Here, some fanfic recs for you. I don't read much of them together as a ship, but if I find some I'll send them your way (or let me know which ones I should check out):
Rest is a Revolution
The Elders of the four Great Sects: Jiang, Nie, Jin, and Lan. (for some definition of "Elder") Sometimes, you just have to know when to stop pushing so hard. Work smarter, not harder, etc.
Meng Yao vs. the Board of the Homeowner's Association
Two gremlins, their husbands, and the horrible HOA board. As long as nobody gets arrested for arson or murder, we're gonna call it a win.
Lan Xichen/Jin Guangyao, Lan Wangji/Wei Wu Ian
The Lost Cause
AU in which Nie Huaisang and Jin Guangyao work together to take down Jin Guangshan from the beginning.
Or: the story in which Nie Huaisang just wants to paint fans and feed birds and he doesn't understand why this is so much to ask.
Jin Guangyao & Nie Huaisang
My Lights Stay Up
She could meet Mo Xuanyu’s sister, become a person that Mo Xuanyu’s sister could remember and ask about over a video call. “That Nie Mingjue, are you still seeing her?” and Mo Xuanyu could answer. Nie Mingjue could become a part of Mo Xuanyu’s life.
Mo Xuanyu/Nie Mingjue
With a Flap of Wings
Nie Huaisang thinks he has found the solution to save his family from the very beginning. It doesn't exactly go according to plan, but this might turn out better for everyone. Even him.\
Nie Huaisang & Nie Mingjue
Role Reversal
Cool role switcheroo between Nie Huaisang & Nie Mingjue
I do love nieyao!! thank you so much!! mmmm i've read some of these but some are new and i am very excited!! the mxy/nmj sounds very interesting i will definitely be reading that!
ok some fic recs in return...
of my favorite jgy/nmj Turmoil / Clarity by ama and @keyjamm (not sure if ama has a tumblr) <- JGY/NMJ, Modern AU;
Meng Yao is a divorced dad trying to keep his head above water with a demanding job, an elementary-age daughter, and a fraught co-parenting relationship with his ex. The fragile balance is upset further when Nie Mingjue gets a serious health diagnosis, and Meng Yao is forced to reconsider his priorities. In the midst of all the chaos, can he find some clarity?
ama also is the author of some of my absolute favorite lesbian nieyao fic (modern day) How to Be Butch and also Bound which is also nieyao post sunshot campaign gone wrong
also a wonderful modern au they all live at the renaissance fair is Faire thee well by Scrippio <- mostly lwj/wwx but some 3zun thrown in there
Canada’s worst throuple by RoadsandBurrows is also a classic - canada lawyer AU, very sweet and very funny
The Ones I Envy by Pip (Moirail) is JGY/JC;
Parenting is hard, but it's especially hard when it's not actually your kid and your sister who raised you died three years ago and you have to deal with your own abandonment issues at the same time as your new kid's abandonment issues and the guy who's raising the kid with you won't stop being a better parent than you.
for more canon verse:
necessary to the earth by serein <- crack; Post canon JGY/NMJ they have emerged from the coffin by *handwave* and one of the tags is "our getalong didi" which is incredibly apt
Wandering Eyes (That Nie Mingjue will gouge out if he notices, Father, STOP) by AstaraelWeeps <- also crack;
Jin Guangyao would do absolutely ANYTHING for his father, but when Jin Guangshan's eyes start lingering on Huaisang, he finds a line he wouldn't cross. (Because if his father makes a move on Huaisang, Nie Mingjue would tear off Jin Guangyao's limbs or his head on his way to stab Sect Leader Jin, and Jin Guangyao would like to live, thank you. It's safer for everyone for Jin Guangshan to just. stop. looking.)
Connection by westiec -> this is actually the most heartwarming Jin Sibilings fic that I have ever read they are so CUTE and YOUNG
Qin Su frowns up at him with her hands on her hips. How did you know what I was thinking? she does not say, but he hears just the same. Jin Zixuan blinks at her. I heard you, he thinks carefully. Can you hear me?
i’ll take a secondhand monster by Stratisphyre MXY & WWX
“You must not stray to the lower levels, A-Yu,” Yao-ge told him with his scary, empty smile. “Or else I shall tell the beast down there to eat you.” There is a monster in Koi Tower.
and finally because i have never actually gotten out of Lan Qiren/Wen Ruohan hell, all of the fics in Nirejseki's collection are incredible but the top two favorites are Relentless
“Why are we even here?” Wen Xu groused. “Yeah! That’s right! Why are we here?” Wen Chao immediately chimed, very obviously taking his cues from his elder brother – much to the latter’s irritation, judging by his immediate scowl. Lan Qiren knew that he needed to pick his next words very carefully. With recalcitrant students, a teacher only had a few opportunities to really connect with them. If he allowed them to dismiss him or categorize him as an enemy at this early stage, it would be an incredibly uphill battle to gain enough respect in order to teach them anything, and in this case, given the strength of their background and the fact that this little teaching session was both likely to be short and definitely completely unauthorized, it would quite possibly make it completely impossible to ever get through to them. “You are here,” Lan Qiren said solemnly, each word slow and thoughtful, “because your father is an ass.” (a story of kidnapping and falling in love, reluctantly)
and The Other Mountain by nirejseki
Lan Qiren still couldn’t quite bring himself to believe it. He was married. He had a wife. That wife was Wen Ruohan.
if you are in the mood for some really fucked up deeply interesting insight into nie huaisangs brain in those 13 years, I recommend a blood-stained spirit has no home, nowhere to return to by Mayarenerose <- JGY/NHS; and also the final cut by Wildehack (tyleet) <- a fascinating insight into mo xuanyu and nie huaisangs relationship
and i feel this has gotten rather long so if you do have any particular interests character wise i can probably recommend a lot more! I have gotten deeply obsessed with most characters except maybe jiang cheng.
