Masterlist of all the MDZS Modern AU posts on Tumblr, plus some other useful links for other works in the series.
my sweetheart sings out like a devil
Space bounty hunter Jiang Cheng is kinda-sorta dating that cute singer at his favorite bar, forgets to ask important questions, and gets roped into space politics shenanigans, as you do. It’ll be fine. Probably.
Or: The (Syfy) Killjoys-inspired AU.
an easy recipe
A year after they finished the con that took down Jin Corp, Nie Huaisang gets suspicious calls from his quartet of teenage vigilante do-gooders.
Or: A lil sequel to the lil Leverage-inspired AU!
Armageddon Blues
Or: The vague dystopia au one, where Wei Ying’s cavalry is a stabby Jiang Cheng and a trigger-happy Nie Huaisang
for old time’s sake
The juniors decided it’d be cool to be online vigilante hackers, but they’re getting into very risky territory.
Jiang Cheng is a tired & worried uncle, and the only person he can turn to is… his ex.
(A Leverage-inspired AU)
staying in (going out)
“Is Jiang Cheng my boyfriend?”
Nie Mingjue looks at his brother, and just looks at him. He waits just a bit longer for Nie Huaisang to crack – to whine that he’s not answering, or even to laugh at the joke-
He doesn’t.
(Or, Nie Huaisang missed a very important memo.)
beads and blues
Jiang Cheng and Nie Huaisang babysit little Jin Ling. Bead bracelets happen.
up on melancholy hill
At any other time, Nie Mingjue would have teased his brother relentlessly and given Jiang Wanyin the worst terrifying talking-to of his life. But they’re in hiding and on the run, being hunted by both their own people and the rest of the world – and this is such a painfully normal teenage thing to experience in the midst of all the bullshit they’re dealing with.
Nie Mingjue figures that he can let his brother have this much, at least.
(Snapshots of some quiet moments during a war)
intermission
Almost a year after he disappears, Wei Wuxian turns up at Nie Huaisang’s and Jiang Cheng’s doorstep, with a kid in tow.
Soft Around You
A companion fic to “Homemade“, in Jiang Cheng’s POV
homemade
Then: Jiang Cheng was trying to find himself after his band took an unexpected break. Nie Huaisang was trying to prove he could be independent doing his art. They were roommates.
Now: An incident with someone who claims to be their fan leaves them shaken and second-guessing their choices.
far from home
