July fanworks round-up post!

[china_shop]

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

I posted a Zhu Hong/Ya Qing treat for Trobadora for fandom5k. It's a heist fic interspersed with in-universe documents:


Title: What do we steal, what do we break, what do we make again (15380 words) [General Audiences]
Fandom: 镇魂 | Guardian (TV 2018)
Relationships: Ya Qing/Zhu Hong (Guardian)
Characters: Ya Qing (Guardian), Zhu Hong (Guardian), Shen Wei (Guardian), Zhao Yunlan, Da Qing (Guardian)
Additional Tags: Post-Canon, Alternate Universe - Everyone Lives/Nobody Dies, Yashou Politics (Guardian), Land rights, Intra-species politics, Leadership, Power Dynamics, Heist, In-Universe Documents, political corruption, First Kiss
Summary: She still couldn’t think of the Yashou election—or outranking Fourth Uncle and the others—without wanting to squirm out of her skin. But she was high chief. She’d accepted the position. She had to do something about the encroachments, and objectively, Ya Qing was the best choice to help—even if she was also the least comfortable. Even if Zhu Hong couldn’t entirely trust her.

It's so good! :D

I wrote a Guardian/Grimm crossover (with some introductory notes for those only familiar with one fandom):

Syncretization (6585 words)
Fandoms: Grimm (TV), 镇魂 | Guardian (TV 2018)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Relationships: Shen Wei & Juliette Silverton, Shen Wei & Henrietta, Juliette Silverton & Henrietta
Characters: Shen Wei (Guardian), Juliette Silverton, Henrietta (Grimm)
Content tags: Crossover, Outsider POV, Episode: s04e12 Maréchaussée, Canon Divergence (for Grimm), Post-Canon (for Guardian), Hexenbiest Juliette, Transformations, Wesen origins, Worldbuilding

Summary:

"No," Juliette says again, "no," and then lashes out - wogeing, her Hexenbiest mien coming to the fore on instinct as her emotions surge. Her frustration and fury shake the house.

Shen Wei has planted his feet solidly, standing firm in the shaking. Most who aren't themselves Hexenbiests tend to find their woge both off-putting and frightening, and even those who don't know enough to be afraid have a visceral reaction. A living bog body, Elizabeth had said once, wryly, who wouldn't be frightened? But not this man.

And I made a Ye Zun picspam:

Ye Zun at the Inspectorate

(Note to self: comment on the picspam!)

[trobadora]

I'm so glad you liked it! And I'm looking forward to your comment. :)

I've been rewatching Guardian, one episode a day, since June 24, and making short posts about it in my DW. Anyone is welcome to drop by. :D I only have episode 40 left!

[china_shop]

Oh, awesome! So glad you're linking your posts here -- they're so good. :D

I, too, wrote a Guardian/Grimm crossover (or fusion, really)! trobadora and I really were in sync this F5k :D

Title: Fractal
Fandom: Guardian (TV) x Grimm (TV)
Ship: Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan & Juliette Silverton
Words: 5.5k
Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Episode: s04e18 Mishipeshu, Episode 35, Crossovers & Fandom Fusions, Established Weilan, Juliette Silverton Has A Temper, minor Hexenbiest worldbuilding, Shen Wei is Overpowered what else is new, Mentor Shen Wei (Guardian), dark energy evolution, the evolution of Dixingren and Yashou
Summary: After Zhao Yunlan's trip to the past, he and Shen Wei are spit out of the wormhole in Portland. Waiting for their flight back home, they run into people different from the Yashou and Dixingren they know.

Meanwhile, Juliette is on her downward spiral of losing control when she meets something far more dangerous than a Grimm.

[trobadora]

Woohoo! So good! Here's to being in sync. :D

[miss_ingno]

*high five*

[china_shop]

Yayay! It's on my Kindle - I'm looking forward to it. :D

[miss_ingno]

looking forward to see what you think of it!

Guardian fic
Only very short Guardian fics for me, both for the Guardian bonus bingo.

Starlight (1080 words)
Fandom: 镇魂 | Guardian (TV 2018)
Rating: General Audiences
Relationships: Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan
Characters: Shen Wei (Guardian), Zhao Yunlan
Additional Tags: Post-Canon, Post handwavy fix-it, They live in a house now, Fluff
Summary:

There's a blackout and for once it's not their problem.

Frustration (456 words)
Fandom: 镇魂 | Guardian (TV 2018)
Rating: General Audiences
Relationships: Cheng Xinyan & Shen Wei
Characters: Shen Wei (Guardian), Cheng Xinyan
Additional Tags: Pre-Canon, Friendship
Summary:

Cheng Xinyan is a good friend, even when she is trying to make Shen Wei blush.

Related fic
I hope these count as Guardian related since they do feature either Bai Yu or Zhu Yilong (or their characters) in them, though for once not paired with each other. I was sad about the Truth s2 ending, so I've been consoling myself with ridiculous amounts of RPF apparently.

Moment by Moment, definitely goes all the way up to very explicit. An entire RPF AU series featuring Bai Yu/Liu Yuning/Zhou Keyu. Granted I started it in June, but most of it is written in July. Somehow it's already a staggering +70k. It was supposed to be one small ficlet, and then it grew into a lot of small ficlets.

Poetry (1366 words)
Fandom: Chinese Actor RPF
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Relationships: Bai Yu (Actor)/Zhou Keyu | Daniel
Characters: Zhou Keyu | Daniel, Bai Yu (Actor)
Additional Tags: Fluff, First Kiss
Summary:

"Do you want to hear what I really think about you, didi?" Bai-ge asks his fingers brushing against the back of Zhou Keyu's hand as he leans a bit closer.

And also my fic for fandom5k, which is dated in June because oops I forgot to update that, but definitely wasn't finished until (and obviously revealed in) July.

Expectancy (10791 words)
Fandom: L'Oréal "Time Engraver" Commercials, 데자부 | Deja Vu - Dreamcatcher (Music Video)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Relationships: Jiu (Deja Vu MV) & Yoohyeon (Deja Vu MV) & Time Engraver (L'Oreal "Time Engraver" Ads)
Characters: Kim Minji | JiU, Time Engraver (L'Oreal "Time Engraver" Commercials), Kim Yoohyeon (Dreamcatcher Band)
Additional Tags: Time Travel Fix-It, Time Travel, Worldbuilding, Time Loop, Alternate Reality
Summary:

He can recognise the signs of his own work, if he closes his eyes, he can still feel the chisel in his hands, the patterns his hand had moved in. But this is not the face these marks belong to. He didn't carve them into this person's skin.

[trobadora]

That's still a lot! And yay for short fic; not everything needs to be long. ♥

Works for related canons with one related actor definitely count! And I've got your Time Engraver crossover bookmarked; I'm looking forward to reading that when I've got a bit more brain to wrap my head around it (since I'm not familiar with the other fandom). It looks great!

[tinypinkmouse]

Thanks!

The time engraver crossover might need a bit of brain because I tried to stick in as much time travel shenanigans as I could. I'm glad there's some people who want to read it. I was honestly expecting it might just have one reader.

[trobadora]

Yeah, I didn't expect anyone else to read my Grimm crossover either - very glad someone else gave it a chance!

[china_shop]

That looks like lots to me. Go you! :D :D :D

[tinypinkmouse]

Thanks! I'm just so used to writing lots of Guardian and now I've been writing a lot of something else instead. :D
