New fic: you are north on my compass

[china_shop]

I remixed my team gen flashfic from earlier this week, Everyone's compass points to home, to be from Shen Wei's POV:

you are north on my compass (AO3)
~2650 words, G-rated, pre-Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan. Set during episode 4, but spoilers up to ep 35. So much thanks to trobadora for beta. <3

Summary: “Shen Wei. What are you doing here?” Zhao Yunlan was sprawled behind his desk in a haze of addictive substances. His jaw was clenched, eyes bleak and angry. Shen Wei judged by the air quality and his demeanour that he’d already gone through half a packet of cigarettes and probably emptied half the wine bottle he was gripping so tightly by its neck.

sharing some guardian meta/thoughts

Recently posted some meta on my DW. Here's a piece of it:

my fannish weaknesses
The thing is, for me, at least 50% of the appeal of Guardian is the fact that the Guardian I'm a fan of doesn't exist outside of fanon. It will always be this censored webseries that references the original BL novel just enough to be both maddening and fascinating. It's like Yuri on Ice, where the show can't actually directly show anything, but everyone making and watching the thing knows exactly what's happening. With Yuri on Ice, I found that experience more frustrating. However, that act of not showing it, the dodge, is a huge part of what makes Guardian so compelling to me.
