RPS fic recs?

[goss]

Hey guys, I find the idea of slashing the Guardian actors just as appealing as the characters in the show itself, but haven't really ventured to look up the fic...until now!

Where do I start? Can you rec me RPS/RPF stories that you have enjoyed?

Thanks! ♥

I've also made a request at my own journal, if you want to come chat with me about it there. :)

I really like Take the Wheel by bonibaru, which is sweet, lovely, cracky fluff.

And if you're happy with WIPs I highly, highly recommend Falling into Marriage by semiquaver (and translated by qikiqtarjuaq) - Bai Yu and Zhu Yilong get accidentally married in Vegas, and it's just a total delight!

[goss]

Thanks for the recs!

I'm not really a fan of starting WiPs in case they leave me hanging, but if this one has a planned conclusion, then I'll give it a go. :)

[bonibaru]

It's a translation of what I think is a complete work? The WIP nature is just how long it takes to do each chapter.

[goss]

Great! I'll definitely be checking it out then. :D

[qikiqtarjuaq]

The work itself is in a strange status, in that the main plot arc is complete, but semiquaver occasionally comes back to add random adventures whenever she's in the mood for it. I think she's said this is one of her "forever WIPs" - sort of like a long-running series that won't end until she loses interest in the pairing itself.

[goss]

Ahh, I see. Well, I always like more of a good thing, so a long-running series sounds right up my alley. :)

[yantantether]

Ooh, and also A Heart Made to be Broken by Tanndell, which is nicely feelsy and set during filming.

[bonibaru]

Yan's Summer's Reach is very good https://archiveofourown.org/works/19478692

[bonibaru]

And another favorite: Fox Office Hit which is also cracktastic AU https://archiveofourown.org/works/18833584

[bonibaru]

I don't read a lot of PWP or RPF that's set in reality but you might like And you'll fly, in which ZYL is actually a dragon lol https://archiveofourown.org/works/17522144

[goss]

Yay, thanks for the recs! \o/ \o/ \o/

[asya_ana]

I love yantantether's Summer's reach to distraction. <3

"Bai Yu helps his boyfriend cool down… and heat up."

[goss]

Awesome! <3

[bonibaru]

Love qik's Convergence, too https://archiveofourown.org/works/17142296

And Fix It In Post https://archiveofourown.org/works/17087804/chapters/40183838

[bonibaru]

That's it for me I'm tapped out, lol. I keep an eagle eye on AO3 but not a lot comes through in English RPF that's not PWP or doesn't have a certain tag or set of tags that my rdr blacklist filters out, so.

[goss]

Hee. Well it's certainly a good start! I'm sure there are probably lots more out there, maybe not in English, or at AO3. Glad to know you're keeping an eye on which ones become available to us. :)

[trobadora]

All of qik's fics are really good, and Fox Office Hit is my favourite Guardian RPF fic.

Also, this one: https://archiveofourown.org/works/16592171

[goss]

Thanks for the links! :D

[qikiqtarjuaq]

Our little fandom only 50 fics total in English! If you're interested in a full listing, they're here. I'm pretty sure I've read every one of them at this point lol.

My rec would be Afterimage by margrave, which is one of the older RPF fics that I really love. It's gen but has lovely method acting/lost in character goodness!

Otherwise, I adore every single fic that features dragon Zhu Yilong. fledgling by bonibaru and And you'll fly by Kylie.

[goss]

Thank youuuuuu! <3

As everyone has already mentioned, Fix it in Post is perfect.

I don't have more fic recs... actually, I have one! It's an AU and it's untranslated, but it's readable okay through a translator of your choice (I recommend fanyi.baidu.com, it's marginally better than google) :

https://archiveofourown.org/works/18689254 钢琴，栗子蛋糕和吻 ("A Piano and Chestnut Cake Kisses") by Luvnaffy

Bai Yu owns a bakery in ... some western country (Italy?), and Zhu Yilong is a movie director. It was cute and quite fluffy.

But I meant to rec some fanvids, if you take those, too! (Unfortunately, dw comments don't allow video embedding, so plain links it is)
