[china_shop]

This is the fanworks round-up post for April! Please link in the comments to any Guardian (or related fandoms) fanworks you created or enjoyed this month.

• 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 April?

I posted THREE fics this month!! Honestly I'm... not sure how I managed, quite! ^^;;

Title: I know you
Rating: PG-13, Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan
Word Count: 1,642
Summary: "I thought you told me your birthday was in mid winter," Zhao Yunlan says.
Or, two discussions about birthdays, ten thousand years apart.

This is nominally about birthdays but really it's about how much Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan love each other ♥

Title: Won't be waiting alone
Rating: M, Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan
Word Count: 17,384
PLEASE CHECK THE TAGS/WARNINGS ON AO3 BEFORE READING
Summary: "That was DCPD," Wang Zheng says. "A missing person matching our last ID has just been reported – from Dragon City University, a Professor Shen Wei."

Once again, I turned someone into a kitten ^^;;

Title: quiet, still
Rating: G, Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan
Word Count: 1,541
Summary: He wants to remember this: the way it feels like it's just the two of them, living and breathing in all the world.

Inspired by a behind the scenes photo, this is about the quiet spaces in the in-between, a moment at dawn, ten thousand years in the past; a moment to sit and breathe.

What I wrote:

My poll about drama-related fannish resources.

My scene discussion post about the flashback sequence in episode 35, where we see what happened when Shen Wei woke up after 10,000 years.

And here's a rec for a ficlet from nnozomi about Shen Wei's name!

I've posted 2 (smutty) fics and updated one!

Title: Special Occasion
Rating: M for smut
Words: 2.2k
Tags: Post-Canon married Weilan, morning blow jobs, romantic fluff
Summary: Zhao Yunlan introduces Shen Wei to a new tradition, which leads to a more emotional talk than either of them expected first thing in the morning.
AKA the "Birthday Blowjob" fic

Title: Good Vibrations
Rating: E
Words: 7.2k
Tags: PWP, sub!Shen Wei, dom!ZYL, top!ZYL, bottom!Shen Wei, sex toys, orgasm delay, aftercare
Summary: Shen Wei has trouble letting loose. Zhao Yunlan is always happy to help him.
Or: In which Zhao Yunlan peels Shen Wei's restraint apart layer by layer.

Title: Can't Just Wait With Lives At Stake (2/2)
Rating: T
Words: 2k
Tags: Shen Xi lives AU, time skip to when ZYL is the SID chief, shameless & thirsty ZYL, flirting
Summary: Over a decade later, Zhao Yunlan meets the Envoy again.

This was just supposed to be a coda, a quick look at the future of this 'verse, but then it turned out longer than the first chapter so ^^"

Two of my fave fics from this month's binge-read trawling through the treasure trove that is this fandom:

Rec: gather your armour, raise your shield by MistressKat
in which ZYL gets captured and Shen Wei rescues him, with lovely D/s vibes

Rec: Under a Cloudless Sky by marycrawford
in which Shen Wei falls sick on a lovely date out with ZYL

I managed to post two things last month!

The first is part of a series, but can be read (almost) on its own. It helps to have read the first part, which is a very short, very soft PWP.

always at the brink of the known (2,841 words)

Fandom: 镇魂 | Guardian (TV 2018)
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan
Additional Tags: PWP, Roleplay, Banter, Science (kinky), Kinky Use of Dark Energy
Series: Part 5 of Higher Education
Summary: Shen Wei pushes up his glasses before giving him a considering look. "Your parameters were well-defined and your method was promising. However--"

"Promising?"

Shen Wei draws his index finger down Yunlan's front, careful and light. Distracting. "You'll admit that it lacked a certain-- scientific rigor."

The second was written for Guardian Bingo and is a sequel to elenothar's beautiful Nameday, which inspired me to think about Zhao Yunlan's birthday. <3

Every day is the best day in the year (1,583 words)

Fandom: 镇魂 | Guardian (TV 2018)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan
Additional Tags: Post-Canon, Fluff, Banter, Birthday, Prompt Fic
Summary: Zhao Yunlan swallows. "So you didn't organize a party for me, and you didn't bake me a cake, and you didn't buy me a leather jacket."

"That is correct," Shen Wei smiles, still holding his hand.
