The Goosekeeper Game, Nie Huaisang/Jiang Cheng in a noir AU, interactive fiction. I've never read interactive fiction fanfic before, and it is really interesting. I've seen so many different takes on Jiang Cheng in the fandom and in this game you get to pick your take: how consumed by guilt vs. obsessed with revenge do you think he is? How intellectually honest? How willing to repress his memories? To accept responsibility for his actions? I've gotten four out of the six endings and in each of them he finds a different way forward, but there's no uncomplicatedly happy ending. Which is I think true to the spirit of canon.
A Myth of Devotion. Wei Wuxian/Jiang Cheng, E, very many warnings. Yiling Patriarch!WWX takes Jiang Cheng with him to the burial mounds in a nonconsensual way, terrible things happen, for some reason I keep rereading this because I like to suffer.
everyone lives (and that's all I ever wanted). Mostly Jiang Cheng being mad about the golden core transfer, in an AU in which more people live. I really enjoyed the background JYL/NHS, I think they'd be great together.
Maybe In Another Ferry Purple Parallel World, I Deserve You. Instead of dying, Wei Wuxian dimension-hops to find a universe in which he and Jiang Cheng can get along. Sad but hopeful, JC/WWX shippy.
School Daze. Nie Huaisang/everyone but Jiang Cheng in particular. E, very porny. I enjoyed this take on young!NHS and how he's frivolous and savvy at once.
vids:
children's work, Nie Huaisang & Nie Mingjue. Uses a lot of material from the Fatal Journey spinoff movie, which I liked a lot and has great character moments for them.
Hard to Love, Jiang Cheng & Jin Ling, which somehow turned out to be one of my favorite relationships of the show, and this is a good vid for crying about it.
Be as You Are, Jiang Cheng gen, but I especially liked it for the very positive take on his relationship with his mother.
Wait for it, Jiang Cheng & Wei Wuxian and a painfully relevant song. I've been watching this one over and over.
