February fanworks round-up post

[china_shop]

This is the fanworks round-up post for February! 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 February?

One fic: The Lord Envoy's Man (Chu Shuzhi & Shen Wei; Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan) [Teen]
Chu Shuzhi and Shen Wei, before and after the trip to Dixing to look for the Dijun Register.

And one rewatch discussion post, for episode 5.

And what an amazing fic it is 💖🥰

[awanderingcoyote]

IT was such an awesome fic! :D :D :D

[trobadora]

Thank you so much! :D :D :D

Damn, I really need a positive Chu Shuzhi icon ...

Two fics from me this month:

Title: For as long as we have
Rating: Teen, Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan
Word Count: 5,359
Summary: Kunlun has told him, almost from the first: he's not here to stay.

➣ This was written for my claim in the Guardian Red Pocket Prompt Fest 2013. It's YOHE/Ep 35 canon divergence, mostly bb Shen Wei has a lot of feelings but it's also about allowing yourself to have things in between the burdens of duty.
_________________________________________________________

Title: Stay
Rating: Explicit, Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan
Word Count: 4,808
Please check tags/warnings on AO3 before reading
Summary: Maybe, just possibly, Zhao Yunlan might be absolutely and definitely not fine.

➣ My take on a "Meet Cute" for the February 2023 guardianbingo bonus prompt. It's a pre-canon alternate first meeting... and a fuck or die pwp <.<

[trobadora]

Yay for two great fics! I really enjoyed both of these. :D

[miss_ingno]

Ahhh, I haven't had time to read them yet but they both sound Fantastic TM!

[miss_ingno]

I posted a scene discussion and a fic!

Episode 1: Li Qian and Shen Wei talk on a bench, Shen Wei intercepts Chief Zhao

Title: In This, As In All Things (3/?)
Rating: T
Ship: Weilan
Words: 10k
Tags: WIP, time travel fix it, post-canon to pre-canon, identity shenanigans, family issues
Summary:

Given the chance to right the wrongs of the past, Zhao Yunlan and Shen Wei go back to before they met (again).

But how much can they change faced with a very different SID than the one under Zhao Yunlan's lead?

[trobadora]

Yay! Time travel do-over is such a great trope. :D

[miss_ingno]

It is! I love it, and this one was one of the first things I started writing (but didn't have enough of a plot in mind to go anywhere. Not sure that I have now, but I have many ideas and vibes?)

[trobadora]

*cheers on your ideas and vibes and whatever plot they generate* :D

[china_shop]

Episode 1: Li Qian and Shen Wei talk on a bench, Shen Wei intercepts Chief Zhao

\o/!! I still haven't had time to read this properly, but I'm really looking forward to it! (Hopefully things will calm down a bit for me next week.)

[miss_ingno]

Fingers crossed for life calming down! And no pressure. I too have a lot of posts to catch up on :')

[trobadora]

Oooh, so much art, thank you for sharing! I love protective Shen Wei especially, unsurprisingly, and the stained glass WIP looks amazing already!

[awanderingcoyote]

Ahhh! Thank you for saying so :D

I really adore my protective Shen Wei pic too in all its scribbliness :D And the stained glass. There's just something so pretty about stained glass and I try all the time to become better at capturing the etherealness of it :D

Thank you for the lovely comments!
