Yellow Petals (1,057 words) - a little late-night interlude on campus, with Shen Wei talking to Ying Chun and then running into Jiajia; set between eps 6 and 8.
this i know for certain (4,508 words) - super-fluffy Chu Shuzhi/Guo Changcheng get-together, set post-canon in an everyone-lives AU. Guo Changcheng gets seconded to the Department of Supervision.
The Blade in the Stone (2,807 words) - different Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan first meeting feat. Zhao Yunlan & Da Qing; action/adventure, set just after Zhao Yunlan has graduated university. Zhao Yunlan and Da Qing go looking for monsters and find an ancient podao stuck in a rock.
Dedicated (1,236 words) - pre-canon Chu Shuzhi & Shen Wei, inspired by Chu Shuzhi's line in ep 36, "I used to be a Dixingren."
This Is How I Saved You (9,766 words) - a lot of Dixing world-building, including powers, some angsty OCs, and appearances from Shen Wei and Chu Shuzhi towards the end; first person POV. It's about a dealer in curios who acquires some special artefacts... including the doll where Nianzhi is hidden. It's set in the lower, poorer part of the city, and there's an implied background of repressiveness and corruption. I had so much fun writing it.
No archive warnings apply to any of these, and they're all either G or T rated.
Rewatch posts: episode 35 and episode 37.

And also two Guardian rewatch posts:
