The One-Body Problem by metisket (https://archiveofourown.org/works/27812527/chapters/68090887) The Untamed/MDZS, Lan Jingyi & Wei Ying | Wei Wuxian, Lan Zhan | Lan Wangji/Wei Ying | Wei Wuxian, Lan Jingyi & Lan Yuan | Lan Sizhui, 27k
Brief Summary: "The good news is that Lan Jingyi has found a mentor, friend, and constant companion through the difficulties in life. The bad news is that that’s because he’s been accidentally possessed by the Yiling Patriarch."
Notes from the reccer: Absolutely delightful friendship between Jingyi and WWX, both funny but also really emotionally hard-hitting. And of course the Yearning of WWX for LWJ seen through the eyes of an impatient teenager is great.
Warnings: canon-typical references to the war and violence, references to the time in the Burial Mounds

Flight of a one-winged dove by bloodletter (https://archiveofourown.org/works/26944216/chapters/65759482) The Untamed/MDZS, Jiang Cheng | Jiang Wanyin/Nie Huaisang, background others, 91k
Brief Summary: Post-series NHS figures out where to go from here, who she wants to be, and if Jiang Cheng will be a part of that. (TLDR: trans transitioning story where that's not 100% of the focus but very foundational to NHS's story, as well as complicated situationship with Jiang Cheng that feels very real to both characters).
Notes from the reccer: The author is very good at writing complex characters who don't always do the right thing but that makes them feel all the more real. This fic developed NHS in a way that I don't often see, and I feel gives them as happy an ending as they could have had given * gestures at canon *
Warnings: canon-typical references to the war, gender dysphoria and associated issues with how other people perceive their/her gender as they transition (see author's first chapter notes for more details), and some self-destructive ideas that border on suicide but never actually go there.

the commitment of a lifetime by heartslogos (https://archiveofourown.org/works/39520023/chapters/98918949)
Genshin Impact, Kujou Sara/Sangonomiya Kokomi, Arataki Itto/Kamisato Ayato, Kamisato Ayato & Kujou Sara, Arataki Itto & Kujou Sara, 110k
Notes from the reccer: Alright, so you do not know the canon of Genshin Impact (to my knowledge?) but this fic is such an interesting marriage of convenience that I thought I would rec it since you asked. It is not love between the married couple, but rather, it is a marriage of convenience so that they can (openly, within their circle) date the people they actually want to date in a lavender marriage situation. Since they barely know each other when getting engaged, their own (platonic) relationship also develops delightfully. One of the best parts of it is the character of Sara, as she has to work through a Lot on a way that culminates satisfyingly. There's also tons of political intrigue. It may be hard for you to read without context but if you are interested in context, hit me up! If not, wing it! : )
Content warnings: references to a past war, near-fatal injury

The Marriage of True minds by spicyshimmy (https://archiveofourown.org/works/1020522/chapters/2029865)
Star Trek, James T. Kirk/Spock, 262k
Notes from the reccer: The epistolary nature of this is so good. It really makes the fic shine, and seeing how the two get to know each other is just wonderful. I read it a while ago and still think of it as one of the best arranged marriages fics I've ever read.
Content Warnings: Admittedly it's been a few years since I read this but I genuinely cannot remember anything sticking out in terms of content warnings.

a light hidden and singing by occultings
(microcomets) (https://archiveofourown.org/works/34011541/chapters/845941450)
The Untamed/MDZS, Lan Zhan | Lan Wangji/Wei Ying | Wei Wuxian, 48k
Notes from the reccer: This was such a good arranged marriage fic, it just hit all the points I wanted it to hit, and the way that they fell into each other and then *wanted* their marriage was such * chef's kiss *
Content warnings: Canon typical violence, parental abuse (Madame Yu)
