June fanworks round-up post

[china_shop]

Oops, time got away on us. Here's the fanworks round-up post for June! Please link in the comments to any Guardian (or related fandoms) fanworks you created or enjoyed last 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 June?

I wrote one fic (complete) and two rewatch posts:

Carpe Sunbeam (10693 words) by china_shopRating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Da Qing & Shen Wei & Zhao Yunlan, Da Qing & Zhao Yunlan, Da Qing & Shen Wei (Guardian)
Additional Tags: Background SID Team - Freeform, Partial Memory Recovery (post-amnesia), Canon Divergence, Food, Secrets, Secret Identities, Identity Reveal, Kunlun Reveal, Envoy reveal, Episode Related, Set during episode 11 after the trip to the mountains, Voluntary Mind Wipes, Cats are always hungry, fixit, Cat Tribe Best Tribe
Summary:

The Envoy seemed to grow taller. His voice held a rumble of thunder. “Then for what reason have you called me here?”

“You knew Kunlun.” So strange to say the name aloud, strange enough that Da Qing forgot his wariness. He rubbed his neck and frowned. His youthful recollections were teasingly obscured by time or by his headache, but he was sure of this one thing. “Back then you knew him, didn’t you?”

Rewatch posts: episode 22 and episode 24.

I wrote one fic:
Generation
No Archive Warnings
Relationships: Da Qing & Zhao Yunlan
Additional Tags: Pre-Canon, First Meetings, Cat Tribe Best Tribe, Triple Drabble
Summary: Da Qing introduces himself to this generation's Guardian.
***
Also a REC:
This is Evnissyn's first Guardian fic (and first fill for Guardian Bingo, for "Twins")(Evnissyn is on discord but I don't think dw(?), so I wanted to share, because this fic is so cool):
Twinless
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Shen Wei
Additional Tags: Twins, Worldbuilding, Dixing (Guardian), Angst, Shen Wei Needs A Hug (Guardian)
Summary: What if Dixingren are all born in sets of twins?
Shen Wei wakes to find a Dixing that doesn’t know what to do with someone who is alone and twinless.

(My rec additional comment: The worldbuilding is so cool and really effectively done in short form, and it's a fascinating point to start from in the show (the fact that Shen Wei and Chu Shuzhi are both twins). The angst is perfect and oh wow does it make me want to know more, where things would go in this universe (since it is pre-canon).)

[china_shop]

Oh cool! Love the voices in your triple drabble -- awww!

And yay recs -- that's such a cool premise!

[trobadora]

Awesome! And thank you for the rec, I really need to find the time to read more!

All I have for June are two episode discussion posts:

episode 21
episode 23

[china_shop]

Such great posts, though! *kudos*

Only one fic this month because I couldn't get my June bingo bonus prompt fic done in time (oh well!)

This won't be everyone's cup of tea - it's another fuck or die (two from me this year?? what is this??) but this time it's Weilan and Weilanzun. Please check the warnings on AO3 + author's note before reading!

Title: Ours
Rating: Explicit, Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan + Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan/Ye Zun
Word Count: 12,082
PLEASE READ THE TAGS / WARNING NOTE ON AO3

Summary: Gege moans, gasping for air, and Ye Zun knows what this feels like; knows the creeping sense that something is wrong, the way his chest feels tighter and tighter – the way he finds it difficult to breathe, the way his whole body feels like it's burning-

Knows what it takes for the effects of this Dixingren power to fade.

[china_shop]

Go you! Yay! (And pompoms for the bingo bonus prompt fic!) ♥

[velithya]

Thank you! It's 11.9k so far and Zhao Yunlan is still!! in the goddamn Lantern!!! but I've had to put it down for a bit to work on another fic with a deadline... hopefully I'll be able to get back to it after this one is completed and finish it this month! *crosses fingers*

[china_shop]

It's 11.9k so far and Zhao Yunlan is still!! in the goddamn Lantern!!!

Oh no! Sympathy lols! (I wrote 14k of my current WIP and I've only just reached the scene that I've been waiting for; a lot of that 14k is just ZYL stumbling around Dixing with Wu Tian'en.)

*more pompoms, and for your deadline fic, too* <3

[velithya]

(oh yikes!!! Sending you good wishes for your fic too!) ♥

[china_shop]

(Hee! Thanks. <3 It's kind of hilarious; I may end up cutting some.)

(And I'm only realising now that when you said Zhao Yunlan was still in the goddamn Lantern, you didn't necessarily mean the fic was 11.9k of lantern!ZYL POV, so the parallel with my fic might not really hold. *g* /dork)

[velithya]

(..... My fic is in fact 11.9k of Zhao Yunlan Lantern POV 😂😂😂😂)

[china_shop]

LOLOL!!! *high fives you* (That sounds really awesome, tbh!)

[velithya]

*high fives* (hehehehe thank youuuu ♥ IDK if I can manage my new project, a july bonus prompt AND to finish this off this month BUT I'M GONNA TRY!)

[china_shop]

*sending you tons of good writing energy*
