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 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!

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?

Three things this month:

• DRABBLE: By Any Measure [G]
  Characters/Pairing: Lin Jing, Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan

  Pairing: Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan
  Characters/Pairing: Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan, Da Qing, Li Hongchun (briefly)
  Content Tags: Episode 35, Missing Scene, Time Loop Aftermath, Getting Together, Kissing, First Time, Emotional Sex, Clothed Sex, Developing Relationship
  Summary: "You know, from the first time I met you, I had this feeling - a sense that there was something more to us, something I was missing." Zhao Yunlan grinned. "I had no idea how much more."
  Or: "I'm glad we waited. Taking it slow, all this time - it brought us here, today."


• OTHER: Character movement chart - episodes 34-36

Woo stories and character charts for 3 episodes! That is on my to-do to comment this weekend, woo!

"By Any Measure" was such a fun drabble!!! And ooh, "A Thread as Red as Blood" was stunning.

The character movement chart is a great resource for people writing fanfic in this period--or thinking thoughts about it, too!

[trobadora]

Aw, thank you so much for your kind words about the drabble, and A Thread as Red as Blood especially!

So glad the chart is useful to you. I've been having fun thinking about it too. :D

[china_shop]

All so good!!! *twirls you* (And speaking of needing to get back to meta... *g*)

Here are my fanworks for Feb!

Fanfic:
Home and Heart(h) - T, silliness and a little seriousness ensue as ChuGuo go apartment shopping. Word count: 3,474
The Question of Healing - T, ChuGuo (to start), Mingcheng and eventual Weilan. An AU crossover with Jiang Cheng and Nie Mingjue from The Untamed. Word count: 5,947

Fanart:
Knight Chu - A picture for Amedia for her story Zhao Yunlan's Roundtable.

[amedia]

I loved both of these fics to pieces!!! Looking forward to more adventures with MingCheng when you have a chance!

The medieval-style portrait of Chu Shuzhi as a Knight is *gorgeous*. ♥

[trobadora]

Yay for art and fic!

[awanderingcoyote]

OMG I FORGOT to add my pic spam LOLOL. I am a forgetful coyote anymore LOL.

The Wrong Hei Pao Shi

[trobadora]

Right! I should have remembered that!

My sense of time is so broken, LOL.

[awanderingcoyote]

Legit time has no meaning anymore lololololol!!!

[china_shop]

Oh yes! That was excellent too!! :D :D :D

[china_shop]

Ooh, yay! *opens things in tabs* (I love your Knight Chu! \o/)

[amedia]

I wrote two things in February:


Heart Fire (2445 words), pre-slash ChuGuo with Ye Huo giving them a nudge (following on their reunion in episode 37), including a hypothesis about the price CSZ paid for using the Longevity Dial.

Clearing the Air (814 words), crossover with the L'Oreal Time Engraver commercials, in which Ye Zun tries to apologize to Chu Shuzhi for making him choose between Changcheng and an illusion of Nianzhi back in episode 32.


I also read and enjoyed a lot of wonderful fic and discussion posts!

[trobadora]

Woohoo! :D

[awanderingcoyote]

This time imma gonna post under my log in versus anon. Lololol. Both are such fabulous fics!!!!!!!

[china_shop]

Yayay! I'm pretty sure I have Heart Fire open in a tab. (I've been offline a lot lately.) So looking forward to it, yay!
