Bonkas Absolute Must Reads
Here lies a bunch of my favourite fics that everyone must read at least once in their lifetimes. This collection features a variety of fandoms and while it includes all ratings I will not be including those that are pretty much just porn (that's for a different collection 😉), though some may have sex scenes. So please relax and enjoy your browsing.

Summary
Lan Zhan dies two years before canon and promptly wakes up in the library at Cloud Recesses right across from Wei Wuxian, napping facedown in a pile of copywork.
He has a lot of questions. Is this the afterlife? If it's not, then is he alone with his memories? And most importantly, what does he need to do to keep his soulmate alive this time?
Wei Ying did not stir as he knelt down by the desk. It had been so long since Lan Zhan had seen those beloved features and even longer since he’d been allowed to either get or stay this close to Wei Ying.
He looked so different from Lan Zhan’s memories; apple cheeked, clean, and relaxed.
Lan Zhan clamped both hands over his own mouth to stop the pained noise that threatened to escape him. Hot tears spilled down his face as he watched the young, safe, and whole boy sleep. His stomach cramped with the effort of holding the sound in, but he’d sooner die than wake Wei Ying up.

Summary
Work in progress. "Search for the value of that which you seek, for alchemy already knows." Alchemy knew what Edward wanted when his fingertips touched that circle, but Edward did not yet understand how value differs from price, how equivalent differs from equal. The Gate calculates with one small difference, and Trisha Elric lives - but the cost may be too high for Edward to afford.
[ Originally published on FFN 16 June 2009. A very detailed, very slow exploration of the creators' headcanon through Edward's eyes - and sometimes Roy's - with lengthy discourses on alchemical theory, juicy helpings of political intrigue, a few near-death experiences here and there, and maybe an assassination attempt or two. Explores in detail the political and social spheres of Amestris and beyond in the context of Roy's ladder-climbing, aided by Edward's presence as a researcher. You could consider this a fix-it, but it's more like a highly involved worldbuilding reboot. Long-running, takes time between updates, but chapters are 20-30k long. Be prepared to indulge and suspend your disbelief. Leave canon at the doorstep; this is something else entirely. ]

Summary

Aka: how Lan Qiren, of all people, ended up defending Wei Wuxian in front of everyone.

Summary
sometimes, you focus too much on the details, and you don't see the bigger picture.
sometimes, you focus so much on the aspects of someone's personality that you stop thinking of them as a whole person. instead, you think of them as loyal, strong, irritating, troublesome, shameless, even evil.

Summary
“That’s not why they called us,” Wei Changze said, brow creased in utter disbelief. “They want us to step in and take over leadership of YunmengJiang.”
When Jiang Fengmian and Yu Ziyuan die while on a night hunt, the leadership of the Jiang sect unexpectedly falls to a former servant and a rogue cultivator.
A role reversal AU.

Summary
Time travel from the outsider perspective mostly looks like you somehow missed *a lot* of character and relationship development.
AKA, that time sixteen-year-old Wei WuXian showed up at Cloud Recesses, took one look at Lan WangJi and declared, "That's my future husband!" ... and Lan WangJi said, "Mm"

Summary
"Promise me, though." Sirius says, once he has caught his breath. "Don't let them cage you in."
"I promise." Regulus whispers, curling his pinky finger around his brother's, and they never speak of the promise that was much, much more than that again.

Clearly that had been a mistake.
