January fanworks round-up post!
This is the fanworks round-up post for January! Please link in the comments to any Guardian (or related fandoms) fanworks you created or enjoyed this month.
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 January?
- all kinds of fanworks are welcome – fic, art, vids, picspams, etc. - including those made for exchanges and events
- new chapters of 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 posted a fanworks round-up/meme/review for last year and it includes Guardian or related-fandoms works, drop us link to that too!

Content tags: Ye Olde Haixing Era, Episodes 34/35, Bed Sharing, Time Loop Feelings, Canonical Time Loop, Established Relationship
Summary: He's never believed in red strings of fate tying people together, least of all for himself.
Content tags: Episode 38, Episode 11, Episode 40, Time Travel, Zhao Yunlan Time-Travels Again, Meeting Out of Sequence, Hallows Shenanigans, Sang Zan's Pillar, The Wick of the Guardian Lantern, Everybody Lives, brief appearances by Wang Zheng and Sang Zan, and by Ye Zun, Fix-It
Summary: "Oh, Shen Wei," the man said. "I promise you I'm real. Just - slightly out of time. Again."
Shen Wei blinked rapidly, but still didn't drop his dao. "Out of time, you say."
A wink and a smirk, with a familiar warmth behind it - Kunlun had teased him just like this. "What, you thought a time traveller could only travel once?"
Content tags: Handwavy Post-Canon Era, Everyone Lives, Yashou Politics, Yashou High Chief Zhu Hong, Mentorship, Networking
Summary: Who else could she ask? Not Zhao Yunlan, who was part of the whole mess. Not the elders of any of the three tribes, when they were the ones who needed convincing the most. Not the Haixing minister, who had every interest in fostering good relations with the Yashou but no experience and no standing with them yet.
Content tags: Public Displays of Affection, UST, Flirting, Character Study, Established Relationship
Summary: Zhao Yunlan has always been like this. - Three three-sentence fics for the same prompt, on the same theme.

Additional Tags: episode 29, Missing Scene, Angst, Hopefulness, First Time, Car Sex, Dixing Powers, Experimental Use of Hallows
Summary: Shen Wei reached across and gripped Zhao Yunlan’s shoulder to anchor him in the here-and-now. He shouldn’t try to stop the time travel. He couldn’t. But letting Zhao Yunlan go was a steep price, even for the integrity of all of history. Wherever you go, I’ll be with you, he thought, willing it so, though there were no guarantees. Who knew what the Hallows would do?
Additional Tags: Post-Canon, Alternate Universe - Everyone Lives/Nobody Dies, Domesticity, Mementoes, Long Hair, References to YOHE, Fade to Black, References to Shen Wei & Ye Zun, Hopeful Ending
Summary: Shen Wei receives a parcel from ten thousand years ago.
Warning: Temporary Character Death
Additional Tags: Post-Canon, Alternate Universe - Everyone Lives (Eventually), Threesome - M/M/M, Angst with a Happy Ending, Presumed Dead, (actually dead but comes back to life), Forgive me I killed Da Qing (temporarily), Loyalty, Chu Shuzhi’s self-worth issues, Getting Together, sharing is caring, food as a love language
Summary: The Envoy is back, he’s alive! Everything is better—brighter—as it should be. Regrets on Chu Shuzhi’s part would be an utter betrayal, unworthy. Chu Shuzhi knows the score. He was only ever first aid for Zhao Yunlan. Only a prop to keep him going. They’d never talked about what they were doing, and Zhao Yunlan’s heart had always been faithful. He’s worn the Envoy’s pendant twenty-four/seven.
Characters: Chu Shuzhi, Shen Wei (Guardian), Li Qian (Guardian)
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, University Setting, Loyalty, Secret Identity
Summary: What if Shen Wei had been in Haixing when Team Ye Zun slandered Chu Shuzhi online?
Additional Tags: Time Travel, Post-Canon Fix-It, Handwavy Fixit, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Friends to Lovers, Competency, First Kiss, Fluff
Summary: Zhu Hong backed away from the portal. It might not be Li Qian at all, but a lookalike. It might be a trap. She gathered red Snake power in her hands. “Tell me what happened to you.”
Three ficlets for the three-sentence ficathon:
Summary: At first, no one pays any attention when Da Qing strolls into the SID on four paws and jumps onto the couch.
Summary: In light of all this, the technology and conveniences, the etiquette and slang, Shen Wei reviews his time with Kunlun, relives conversations line by line, and concludes: Kunlun must know this world.
Summary: Zhao Yunlan lies in his Shen Wei’s arms, all too aware of the modern world outside, the looming crisis.
And one fic for
Additional Tags: Chu Shuzhi’s self-worth issues redux, Domesticity, Cohabitation, Clothes Sharing, Developing Relationship, Cat Tribe Best Tribe
Summary: clothes, kisses, and cat fur.

(The modern internet can be pretty bad if you don't have a fast connection. Large images everywhere. Fingers crossed you won't be stuck on this for too long!)
