December/January fanworks round-up post!

[china_shop]

This is the fanworks round-up post for December and January! Please link in the comments to any Guardian (or related fandoms) fanworks you created or enjoyed over the last two months.

• 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 December and January?

I wrote Guardian stuff but didn't finish any. /o\

(That really needs to change in February!)

[china_shop]

Me too, on both counts! *frustrated high five*

ETA: Oh, oops, wait, I wrote a triple drabble about Zhang Shi that I'd completely forgotten. *fails at checking*

[trobadora]

Oh, I'd forgotten about that, too! Thanks for the reminder!

Vigilance (300 words) about Zhang Shi, for the Apart challenge on fan_flashworks. CNTW is for canonical character death.

I've had this marked for later, at some point there will be a later when I'm ready for this pain, probably. :P

[china_shop]

Hee! No pressure <333

[facethestrange]

Oooooh! *rolls up sleeves and gets linking* :D

The things I made are obviously just the ones that are published and not still hidden in unrevealed events.

The things I'm reccing are just the ones actually posted in December and January. (Everything else I'm consuming and obsessing over is generally from many years ago - the perks of arriving this late to a fandom. :D :D Which is also why it's nearly all tumblr and not ao3. The second newest thing in my ao3 bookmarks was from November, and mostly it's like 2020. xD)


STUFF I MADE

Dramaverse

3 x Weilan art (digital drawings)

That's a Better Use (M, soft and suggestive morning after, inspired by china_shop's fic)

It's You (G/mild T, alternate Heipaoshi reveal, inspired by ishipallthings's fic)

Time's Favorite Human (G, comic, it is Weilan but it's also the Time Engraver commercial crossover because handwavium)

2 x tiny ficlets (drabble+), Ye Olde Haixing Era Weilan porn with feelings

Look Up (M)

Caught You (E)

RPF

2 x Zhubai kissing art (digital drawings)

Disheveled (T, the Bazaar photoshoot)

Very Lucky (G/very mild T, fix-it domestic fluff)


RECS

Zhao Yunlan/The Emissary & Da Qing art by bbulka (G, novelverse but works for both)

HAPPY NEW YEAR by lost-sheep (G, adorable Lunar New Year Ye Zun art)

Look deeper by ashyybees-art (G, blind arc soft Weilan art)

Ep.15 “repayment” and lollipop flirting by ashyybees-art (T for making out, Weilan sketches)

Classic bridal carry by ashyybees-art (G, YOHE Weilan art)

When the Chief forgets there’s still other people in headquarters… by ashyybees-art (mild T for kissing, Weilan art/comic)

this gifset of Shen Wei making adorable faces by onlyzhuyilong (G)

(Now lemme get on the readalong post in the next hour or so! Lots of things happening in the comm while I'm asleep, yayz. :D :D)

[trobadora]

All your art is gorgeous, and wow, thank you so much for all those recs! So much lovely Guardian art! I'm so happy this fandom is still going strong. :D :D :D

[facethestrange]

Thank you! ♡ :) This fandom is frakking amazing! This is just what I reblogged on tumblr - I feel like there's at least an equal amount somewhere in my bookmarks to reblog later. Unfortunately "reblog later" often means "reblog never" until the tumblr algorithm brings the post back for me, so there's no way I'm finding all of that anymore, lol, but there's SO MUCH. *basks in all the art* :D

[trobadora]

Yeah, I'm so grateful for every artist who puts their work on AO3, that way I can actually find it!!! ♥

[facethestrange]

Heee, yay, I appreciate the appreciation for ao3 artists. :D Every year I think 'hey, it would probably be nice to make an art tumblr to make it easier for Fandom Trumps Hate people', and every year without fail I end up not doing that. xD And I've had a regular tumblr for 15+ years holy shit that's a long time. I'm just good on ao3 with my art. *shrugs* :D

[china_shop]

*twirls you and twirls you*

And oh, awesome! Thank you so much for all the art recs, wow! What a bounty! :D

[facethestrange]

Can't stop, won't stop. :D :D

It was weird to end up with absolutely zero fics to rec because everything I read was old, lol. Well, there was also a lot of art that was old, not just the new ones, but at least there were new ones. :D And then last night I got this flawless exchange gift (which is why I was up in the middle of the night replying to comments xD) and was like 'ohhh, I can rec this now!!', but it's already February so it can wait. :D It's anonymous for now anyway, so I have no idea who I'd be reccing?

... But also I can't resist and it's the best damn thing, so it's here. (E, Weilan smut, novelverse but it's pwp and works perfectly for both, other than cigarettes. :D)

[china_shop]

FWIW, it's absolutely fine to rec older fanworks too.

Hooray for exchange gifts! *\o/* *opens in a tab for later* :D

[facethestrange]

Ooooh! *ponders* I'll have to choose really carefully because lbr, I'd never run out of things to rec otherwise (this fandom is a vast and wonderful place :D), but I'll definitely keep it in mind for later. :D

[trobadora]

Thank you for the rec!

And like china_shop says, never hesitate to rec older fic; it's always great to find something you missed before! Or have a reason to bump something up on your to-read list ... *g*
