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?

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

Thank you! Statistics for the win♥

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)

[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

Fandom: Chinese Actor RPF

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

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

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)

[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)

(♡♡♡!)

[tinypinkmouse]

Thanks! <3 Well the first fic was posted on the first, so definitely ot written in April. :D But that being said, about 30k of words written (whether I manage to post or not is a different thing) is about a normal leisurely writing month. And now that I say that out loud to someone else it sounds like a lot. XD

It's definitely not the first time "does this count" for these things. But I only remember that after I've posted. For some reason I start doubting the moment I'm posting something not strictly Guardian.

[facethestrange]

"And now that I say that out loud to someone else it sounds like a lot. XD"

Heee, it may be because it is quite a lot. :D :D BIG KUDOS. ♡

[china_shop]

Ooh! Me too? *hopeful face*

[china_shop]

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

[tinypinkmouse]

Setting limits for yourself so you don't do too much is good and very understandable.

[tinypinkmouse]

Thank you! These roundups are nice, because I end up realising I didn't do as little as I thought. :D

[autodach]

Of course!

[trobadora]

Haha, makes sense to me! I've done the same. And there are so many good icons, you have to have some selection criteria anyway! ♥

[trobadora]

Oh, that would be awesome, I'd really appreciate it! Do you have my email?

[autodach]

I don't think I do; DM me where I should send it to?

[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)

[trobadora]

Rec posts are very welcome here! ♥

[trobadora]

PMed you! :)

[china_shop]

<3 <3 <3 (Have just PMed you.)

[china_shop]

SO MANY!!

[tinypinkmouse]

Thank you! <3 It's probably because I posted even the 20k fic a a oneshot, so it felt like a I posted very little. :D
