I just realised I never linked this little picspam of Zhao Yunlan during his first and second meetings with Cong Bo here. :-)

Fic recs: 7 fixits!

[xparrot]

To add to the other themed rec lists for Guardian -- here's seven of my favorite fix-its in the fandom, working in and around and through to a different end than what canon gave us.

7 fix-it fics (possible spoilers for the show's end)

New Fic: This Gift of Life (forever between us reciprocal)

[ranalore]

This Gift of Life (forever between us reciprocal)
by Rana Eros
(General Audiences, Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan, 300 words)
Zhao Yunlan is no passive recipient.

Author's Notes: Written for egelantier for Round 2 of multifandomdrabble. Thank you to Eliza for listening to me freak out about the perfect thing to write all week, and to both Eliza and Boni for a speedy beta and the reassurance that this worked like I wanted it to. Thank you especially to egelantier for requesting both "fix-its" and "a certain willingness to kick the fate in its face," which pushed me to think along lines beyond fixing things toward the end of the series.

Fic: Threads Pulled Tight

[frith_in_thorns]

Title: Threads Pulled Tight (Guardian|镇魂)
Author: frith_in_thorns
Word count: 9000 words
Characters/Pairing: Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan, Da Qing, Lin Jing
Content/Tags: Hurt/Comfort, set sometime very nebulous, Pre-Relationship, Psychic Bond, trapped character, Bad Ideas Time, (bad ideas involving the Hallows)

Summary: Zhao Yunlan started zoning out a little. That sense — that awareness of Shen Wei was returning gradually. Wispy tendrils of emotion — fear, where, hurt — and though Zhao Yunlan was trying to organise his plan he still found himself at intervals leaning forward and pressing his knuckles into his closed eyes and trying to project as loudly as he could. Shen Wei, I'm coming for you. Don't give up.

Fic-related & icons

[naye]

Catching up on some Guardian-related stuff I haven't had the time to link yet.

First, a rec post for 8 fics I've enjoyed recently. (My "fan recs" tag is pretty much all Guardian at this point, if anyone wants more.)

Then I posted an outtake from With a Twist of the Kaleidoscope, and wrote a bit (or a lot) about my experiences writing that story.

Finally I have 10 new Guardian icons up for grabs!
