April fanworks round-up post!

[china_shop]

This is the fanworks round-up post for April! Please link in the comments to any Guardian (or related fandoms) fanworks you created or enjoyed last 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 April?

Comments

[china_shop]

No fic, but I posted some meta posts and about sixty billion meta comments:

- Picspam and poll: Guo Changcheng, the power of good (drama)
- Picspam and poll: Best Chu Shuzhi & Shen Wei moment
- Poll: Dixing (drama)
- The Art of Dialogue and the kitchen knife scene

[facethestrange]

Thaaaank you for making all of these posts, they're the best thing!! ♡♡♡ *high-five on sixty billion meta comments* :D

[china_shop]

Hee! I love being in the sixty billion meta comments club with you! <3

[trobadora]

Here's to the sixty-billion-comments club! :D

[trobadora]

Ha, I'm with you on the sixty billion comments. Woohoo! :D

And yay for all your poll/meta posts! I've been in a slump all month, but they've kept me commenting all the same. ♥

Hopefully they're feeding your muse/inspiration/whatever you like to call it -- with or without you realising it.

[facethestrange]

I have fewer things to share than usual because of allll the unrevealed things, so many unrevealed things. xD (Also two of the links below were not posted to the comm yet because I wait until I have 3-4 works before I make a post. :D) But here's my public stuff from April:

I was going to wait a few days with recs because *POKES REVEALS* but then I decided that I want them to be here when people are still actively looking at this post. :D

RECS:

The first two are gifts for me. ♡♡♡

so many kinds of yes (4450 words) by Anonymous
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: 镇魂 | Guardian (TV 2018)
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan
Characters: Zhao Yunlan, Shěn Wēi, Da Qing (briefly)
Additional Tags: Missing Scene, Episode 23, sex visions, Clothing - Clothed Sex, Desperate Arousal, Oral Fixation, Non-Penetrative Sex, First Time
Summary:
The lollipop clatters to the floor. His fists clench at his temples. He knows what’s coming, and he’s powerless to stop it. He had hoped the visions were a symptom of dark-energy corruption and the Sundial energy exchange would do away with them. But now he only has a second to brace himself before they hit, and he’s—

Flat on his back on his own bed, breathing hard. Sunlight bright in the corner of his eye, and Shen Wei filling the rest of his awareness, kneeling up over him, naked and smoothly muscled.

Characters: Luo Fusheng, Han Chen (Memory Lost)
Additional Tags: Bai Yu/Zhu Yilong Character Combinations, Getting Together, Deception, Feelings Realization, Luo Fusheng hates cops, Alternate Universe - Modern Setting
Summary:
He flirts with Han Chen because he's hot and because there's never a bad time to pick up another cop to have in your pocket, especially one that might be looking for you at some point. And maybe he flirts with him because Han Chen's arms around him, as they dance, make Luo Fusheng's knees feel a little weak.


(Also, I'm still figuring out a way to rec other than 'only ao3, only actually posted this month', and maybe I'll just link my bookmarks, because there are SO MANY amazing, flawless older works! ♡♡♡ There's literally nothing not-Guardian-related in my bookmarks all the way until early March, and then other fandoms continue to be super sparse all the way until early December. xD)

[china_shop]

Ahhh, thank you for the excuse to go and admire your arts all over again! <333 And yay recs!! :D

[facethestrange]

♡♡♡! *BEAMS*

[trobadora]

So much lovely work! You're so prolific! :D

And yay for recs!

[facethestrange]

Thank you! ♡♡♡ I live and breathe this fandom and I wouldn't have it any other way, hee. :D :D

[tinypinkmouse]

I think it would probably be okay to make rec posts in the comm, right? I would definitely be all for rec posts. I miss people reccing things more. (Also thank you for the rec <3)

[facethestrange]

Oh yep, you can definitely make rec posts in the comm, and I'd love to see more of them too! :) ♡ (And despite that, I'm probably not going to do it myself, lol, because if I don't have some arbitrary system/cutoff point, I'll just link everything that exists and never stop. ;D Also with my own new fanworks alone, when I group them in a few per post, I already do several posts a month. And I know it wouldn't at all be a problem for the comm if I did even more, but yeahhhh, a cutoff point is good for me. :D)

(♡♡♡!)

[trobadora]

Rec posts are very welcome here! ♥

[autodach]

I’ve posted the Zhao Yunlan hallow contact counter.

[facethestrange]

Oh, that was glorious, fantastic work! ♡♡♡

[autodach]

Thank you! ♥

[trobadora]

That was glorious! And thank you for commenting; you just reminded me that I meant to save that post - I've been so busy lately, it kind of slipped my mind ...

[autodach]

Thanks! If you need the raw table I could send it to you.

[china_shop]

A masterpiece of applied statistics!! :D :D :D

[autodach]

Thank you! Statistics for the win♥

[tinypinkmouse]

Alright, I've managed more than I thought last month. I feel like it's been a trickle lately as far as posting goes, but not quite as little as I thought.

I Demand a Better Future (12314 words) by tinypinkmouse
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: 镇魂 | Guardian (TV 2018)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Background Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan
Characters: Zhao Yunlan, Shen Wei (Guardian), Da Qing (Guardian), Ye Zun (Guardian)
Additional Tags: Ye Olde Haixing Era, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Pre-Relationship, sort of since they're together in the future, Fix-It, Pre-Canon Fix-It
Summary:

Zhao Yunlan lands in the past. Slowly, he comes to realise that things are not at all how he would have expected. There's Shen Wei as the Black Cloaked Envoy, but no Ye Zun anywhere. That isn't right. If he doesn't change things, he's afraid the future he remembers isn't going to happen.

Missing (22355 words) by tinypinkmouse
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: 镇魂 | Guardian (TV 2018)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan, Ye Zun & Zhao Yunlan, Shen Wei & Ye Zun (Guardian)
Characters: Zhao Yunlan, Ye Zun (Guardian), Shen Wei (Guardian)
Additional Tags: During Canon, Kidnapping, Head Injury, Shen Wei's light energy problem, Hallows do what I need them to do, Injury, Fix-It, Reconciliation, or at least on the way to it, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Hurt Shen Wei (Guardian), very temporarily hurt Zhao Yunlan, things go badly for a lot of unnamed background characters, Violence
Summary:

Zhao Yunlan finally goes to Dixing to get Shen Wei out of there, but he's nowhere to be found. It turns out he's willing to work together with just about anyone to find Shen Wei.

Then there's also the Granting You a Dreamlike Life/Memory lost crossover. Since it was already recced upthread (<3<3<3) I'll just put a link to the fic: Falling

I also wrote RPF with Bai Yu because the Truth season 3 has started and I'm expcting there'll be a lot of m writing Bai Yu for a whole. I'm a little bit iffy about whether it goes here or not since it's Bai Yu with someone entirely different, but it's still Bai Yu. So here's that one too:

Did You Mean It (1090 words) by tinypinkmouse
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Chinese Actor RPF
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Bai Yu (Actor)/Zhou Keyu | Daniel
Characters: Bai Yu (Actor), Zhou Keyu | Daniel
Additional Tags: Fluff, Talking, Kissing, Established Relationship, set during filming of the truth season 3
Summary:

Afterwards, Zhou Keyu doesn't quite forget about the whip.

[facethestrange]

Holy crap, that's an AMAZING word count in a month!! ♡

AW, you can still link your fic in full, even if I already did that. :D It's flawless, I love it to pieces. ♡♡♡ (And I just saw that is has a cover art now!! Handsssss, the tender wrist holding, omg. ♡♡♡)

"I'm a little bit iffy about whether it goes here or not since it's Bai Yu with someone entirely different, but it's still Bai Yu."

It so counts in my book. :D :D (And since my opinion is fully irrelevant to what actually goes here, lol, I checked the rules and it indeed counts. :D)

[china_shop]

Ooh, these all sound amazing! Congrats on your incredibly productive month! :D

[trobadora]

That is a lot in my book! Congrats on all the writing, and yay for it being more than you thought!

(Bai Yu RPF of any kind definitely belongs here! It's Guardian-adjacent and it counts. :D)
