May fanworks round-up post!

[china_shop]

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

I enjoyed a bunch of 520 Day things, but am not nearly finished with the collection. I hope to make a rec post when I get there! For writing, the only thing I wrote is my own 520 Day fic:

Choices To Live With (11,339 words) [Teen And Up]
Pairing: Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan
Characters: Zhao Yunlan, Shen Wei (Guardian), Cheng Xinyan, Original Characters, Cameos by SID team members
Content tags: Canon Divergence, Post-Episode 2, Case Fic, Dixingren of the Week, Dixingren-Haixingren relationships, Zhao Yunlan's views on Dixingren, SID politics, pre-relationship Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan

Summary: Zhao Yunlan shouldn't have stopped to talk to the paramedics - that was his first thought when he rounded the corner. The second, spoken aloud, was, "Professor Shen. Why is it you again?"

(a.k.a. the one where Zhao Yunlan finds Shen Wei in a highly suspicious place even earlier than episode 3/4)

Such a wonderful case fic and look at their early canon positions! :D :D :D *pets Zhao Yunlan so much*

I wrote two fics in May:

The Story of Ye Guiren, as written by Fu You (610 words) [General audiences]
Fandom: 镇魂 | Guardian (TV 2018)
Characters: Original Yashou Characters
Additional Tags: Yashou Legend, Ageing, Shapeshifters - Freeform, Tree Shapeshifters, Belonging to a Yashou Tribe
Summary: Ye Guiren, great-great-great-grandfather of half the Flower Tribe saplings, no longer enjoyed being in human form. Knees and spine had grown knotted and gnarled, and the quick movements of hands and tongue might as well have been leaf flutters in an autumn breeze.

A Yashou legend inspired by a conversation about Flower Yashou affecting their environments.


After the Waiting (10195 words) [General audiences]
Fandom: 镇魂 | Guardian (TV 2018)
Relationships: Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan
Characters: Original Dixing Characters, Shen Wei (Guardian), Zhao Yunlan, Da Qing (Guardian), Chu Shuzhi, Zhu Hong (Guardian)
Additional Tags: Post-Canon, Alternate Universe - Nearly Everyone Lives, POV Outsider, SID Team - Freeform, Politics, Banter, Themes of Loneliness and Belonging, Dixing Worldbuilding, Morning After
Summary: In the early morning sun, the SID’s brick façade glows like a volcano. There’s already a snaking queue outside, people singly and in couples—one woman with a baby, two teenagers with a sleepy child.

Dai Jiaying joins the queue’s tail, and others soon come up behind until, logically, they’re the tail, and she’s right in the snake’s belly. She banishes the thought, shoves her doubts and misgivings away; she’s here now. She tilts her face into the sunlight and prepares to wait.

I also posted a question about Guo Changcheng's broadcast in ep 38 and a picspam of Da Qing talking to kittens. :D

Woohoo! I love unusual perspectives in fic, and these two are great in very different ways!

From a Star (254 words)
Guardian (TV), Chu Shuzhi & Shen Wei, G
Summary: The Envoy brings Chu Shuzhi to the surface at night and they look at the stars.
(bonus: a discussion with china_shop and trobadora about the dixingren as aliens!)

daring little thief (222 words)
Parallel World, Ding Liu/Ye Liuxi, T
Summary: Ding Liu loves looking at Ye Liuxi—especially when she's asleep.
