December fanworks round-up post

[trobadora]

Final round-up for 2022!

This is the fanworks round-up post for December - as usual, 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!
• And if you've posted an end-of-year fanworks wrap-up that includes Guardian and/or related fanworks, please do link that too! ♥

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

(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 December? And how was your fannish year? ♥

REC

Power(less) (Detective L/DMBJ crossover) is a Yuletide gift I received! I love it for taking me up on my "what if Huo Wensi were a member of DMBJ's Huo family?" and exploring that concept!

[trobadora]

Hee! So delighted someone actually wrote this for you! :D

[mumblemumble]

I posted a thing for the Guardian Bingo bonus prompt in September and then failed to write/finish anything else for THREE MONTHS, which I did not enjoy. But then, the holiday spirit worked its magic:


[RPF] give me moonlight, and a smile that i can barely believe
» OMC/Zhu Yilong/Bai Yu, 4000 words, rated M

The most niche poly porn, basically written for lunarriviera and like three other people. Follows lunarriviera's fic about Zhu Yilong celebrating his GOLDEN ROOSTER AWARD WIN, WOOP WOOP, with his favourite photographer. ✨


[Guardian] i will find you (here inside the dark)
» Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan, 3700 words, rated M

This took so many turns in its early stages, until I finally figured out what I wanted to do with it. Part 7 of the Higher Education series, leaning into the science kink fun times and then also dealing with some trauma stuff.


[RPF] (purple)
» Zhu Yilong/Wang Yang, 840 words, rated M

Look, I have a spreadsheet? Where I keep track of my word count for the year, among other things? And it said 59,250 on December 29, which I found very annoying? So I wrote this little thing to include the fourth member of the polycule in the events of the RPF fic above, and also get me to 60k on New Year's Eve. 🥳


Happy New Year, Guardian fandom, you are the best! 🎇

[trobadora]

Woohoo, yay for the holiday spirit! That's a lot of writing for December! :D

Hee! Congrats on getting to 50k at the last moment!

And here's to a happy new Guardian year for all of us!

[mumblemumble]

Thank youuuu, I'm very happy with my output as well! <3

🥂

[velithya]

Congratulations on 60k!

[mumblemumble]

I missed my scene discussion in December because of flu season, but I am bound and determined not to miss it this month :D :D :D

Happy New Year everyone!!

[trobadora]

Yeah, I have a lot to catch up on, too, some from when I was ill and some from way earlier than that ... Here's to 2023 and finding the time to actually get back to all the things I'd been looking forward to!

But even with flu season getting in the way, you created a lot of stuff - awesome!

An AU idea where instead of going to sleep Shen Wei turned himself to stone until Kunlun returned.

Wow, that looks amazing! And what a concept!

[awanderingcoyote]

Yes to finding the time!!! I hope we can all find the time and just have enough down time to rest, recharge and do fun things :)

I really do like that AU idea! I definitely want to revisit the picture again, I Think I can get stone statue Shen Wei to look a little better, because OMG making things look like stone was so hard. Poor Yilian had to listen to me whine about how to make something look stone based LOLOL.

[trobadora]

Yay for revisiting that picture! Looking forward to it!

And yeah, here's to more TIME for everything this year. :)

[amedia]

Tiny Dragon Stretch with Da Qing
This is one of the cutest arts EVAR!!! TinyDragon!Shen Wei trying his best to imitate Da Qing is indescribably adorable!

I also adore Da Qing's expression in the boba tea one, lol. Yay for arts!!!!

Looking forward to leaving a comment on "Like the Dawn" - of course you know how much I loved "don't tell me to leave you"!!!

[velithya]

STREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETCH

[awanderingcoyote]

SUCH STRETCH!!!!! With claws :D

[amedia]

I wrote one fic in December, a sequel to the Guardian/L'Oreal Time Engraver universe fic I wrote for Guardian Wishlist. And I have at least one idea for another fic in this universe!

Hands of Time

[trobadora]

Woohoo, and yay for more ideas in this 'verse!

[velithya]

Three fics from me this month!

Title: And all the days after
Rating: Explicit, Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan
Word Count: 13,032
PLEASE CHECK TAGS ON AO3 BEFORE READING
Summary: There's no mistaking the tiny well of energy coiling in his lower dantian, separate-yet-not from Shen Wei's own dark energy, flickering to its own beat.
Shen Wei is – he and Kunlun have-

I really like this story but I know the concept put off a lot of people. It's a finale fix-it and also Shen Wei has been pregnant since YOHE (it's an energy pregnancy).

I've done my yearly stories/writing round up on my personal journal (Access-locked) - all Guardian, of course! :3

[trobadora]

That's a lot of words posted this month! Congrats! Here's to a just-as-fruitful 2023. :D

[velithya]

Thank you!! Ah, I hope so *crosses fingers*

[china_shop]

I was going to wait to post until I'd done my end-of-year wrap-up, but that's not happening right now, so. I wrote two bits of meta and one ficlet in December:

Ep 30, Zhang Shi takes Zhao Yunlan home, and Zhao Yunlan confronts him
Meta: Zhao Xinci's pre-canon arc
Ficlet: adjustment phase (Zhang Shi & Zhao Xinci)
