January fanworks round-up post

[trobadora]

Welcome to something new: our first monthly fanworks round-up post!

At the end of each month, we'll make a post like this inviting you to link to any Guardian (or related fandoms) fanworks you created or enjoyed that month in the comments.

• all kinds of fanworks are welcome – fic, art, vids, picspams, etc. - including those made for exchanges and events
• new chapters for WIPs count
• meta or discussion posts, too
• whether or not you've already linked these in a post of their own, we still want them here!

If you're linking to fanworks you didn't create yourself, please clearly mark these "REC", so there's no confusion about authorship/creatorship.

(And please still do link your fanworks, meta, etc. separately, in their own post, at any time!)

So ... what Guardian and related fandoms works did you create or enjoy in January?

(Thanks to the brush_and_lantern mods for letting us adapt their format!)

I posted two complete fics, one chapter of a WIP, and a quiz:

- A Hallowed Bond (2,587 words) - The Longevity Dial energy exchange affects the whole team.
- Regrouping (1,687 words) - hurt!Shen Wei h/c
- Who You Always Were (1,931 words) (first chapter of three) - canon divergence from eps 12 & 13, in which Da Qing doesn't recover so quickly from Zheng Yi's power.
- Guardian works on AO3 Pop Quiz!

Yay, so prolific! \o/

(I totally failed at finishing anything this month ...)

*twirls*

(You had extenuating circumstances. *hugs* Next month!)

I saw your WIP go up on the tag - it sounds like a really interesting premise! I'm excited to see what you do with it :3

[china_shop]

Thanks! :-D

You, alone

[sef1029]

This story is my attempt to work within the canon to explain some of Shen Wei's secrets.

You, Alone
Fandom: Guardian TV
Words: 14,367
Pairing: Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan
Summary: Shen Wei asks the heavens for only one thing: save Zhao Yunlan. For that he would sacrifice anything.
An imagining of unseen events between and within canonical scenes in episodes 22 and 23.

I would love some feedback.

[velithya]

I have this open in a tab and I'm looking forward to reading it :3

[trobadora]

I haven't posted anything this month, and I didn't read much either, but here's a REC:

gather your armour, raise your shield (3457 words) by MistressKat
Fandom: 镇魂 | Guardian (TV 2018)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Identity Reveal, Alternative Identity Reveal, Rescue, Hurt/Comfort, Unresolved Sexual Tension, Unresolved Emotional Tension, Protectiveness, Power Dynamics

Summary: Zhao Yunlan didn't expect to get caught so he doesn't expect to get rescued either. Luckily he's as wrong about the latter as he was about the former.

[velithya]

I would read another 40k in this universe! Seconding the rec :3

[trobadora]

You and me both, haha!

[velithya]

ooh, I probably shouldn't count my ABO fic since I'm counting it in my 2021 stats even though I posted it several hours after midnight in my local timezone <.<

So just one fic from me this month! Part of the tiny dragon Shen Wei fever sweeping the fandom :3

Title: Uncoil
Rating: G, Weilan
Word Count: 2247
Series: My Beloved Noodle Part 1
Summary: This is the most adorable thing Zhao Yunlan has ever seen.
Posted on AO3 at velithya: Uncoil

I've already mentioned some of these in my previous post, but anyway! (All can also be found archived on my AO3 justjoy.)

• A total of 19(!!) prompts for the 3 Sentence Ficathon, including some that I'm particularly pleased with given the structure limits! And featuring many AUs. So many of them.
• Part two to Zhao-Yunlan-as-the-sentient-manifestation-of-Dragon-City, the AU
• Local SID chief gets tag-teamed upon, for 100words
• 2.7k (practically a longfic, by my standards) of Shen Wei running into a bit of a staticky problem (understatement) for fan_flashworks

Technically I also did just post this season-appropriate CNY fic for fan-flashworks… but this was definitely February in my timezone so it doesn't quite count XD

[mumblemumble]

Back in November, I wrote a little ficlet for the Spicy Advent Calendar that kind of sketched out a post-canon life for Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan, but otherwise focused on kisses. I have now put all the exposition in subsequent fics:

» tangled up in you (3,561 words, rated a very tame M)
» light comes in like a stranger (2,370 words, rated a very tame T)
