September fanworks round-up post!

[trobadora]

This is the fanworks round-up post for August! 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 September?

(Oh yay, thank you for this post!! :D ♡♡♡ I had this list written up, and I was totally fine with waiting for the next month, but yay, I'm happy to see a roundup despite the busy times! :D)

12 works from me in September. :D (Plus literally another 12 (or possibly more?? xD) not-yet-revealed ones, a lot of them for guardian_wishlist. Though some wishlist ones were created in October. :D) I'm not including the one ficlet that I already posted in October because I'll get confused next month. :P

I don't have many recs at all (because the time to enjoy other people's fanworks was pretty obviously scarce :P), but I'll just link my AO3 bookmarks as recs - they're all Guardian anyway, and it's faster and easier this way. :D

[trobadora]

You are amazing as always! So many works! And so many more to come! Woohoo!

(We do try to stay on top of things, sorry this post is a bit late! Don't hesitate to poke us about it if we forget. ♥ ♥ ♥)

[facethestrange]

AWW, thank you!! ♡♡♡ I thought August was a lot, and then September happened. ;D

I wouldn't poke you during BUSY TIMES (and they must be even busier when you're modding!! ♡) - I haven't even rewatched the current half-episode myself, let alone *gestures* just about everything else. xD (But at least I'm making lots and lots of fanworks, so there's that. :D) You are staying on top of things so incredibly well, I have zero complaints. :D ♡

[trobadora]

I haven't rewatched yet either. *high five* After Wishlist reveals! First things first!

[facethestrange]

*HIGH FIVE* ♡ I maaay watch it tonight, but I'll see - final edits for wishlist definitely do come first. :D

[awanderingcoyote]

Wooooo look at all the awesome works!!!!!

[china_shop]

Two for my Breakage and Repair 'verse (CSZ/SW/ZYL), which is Post-Canon, Alternate Universe - Everyone Lives (mostly), Canon Divergence. I'm having so much fun with this series.

Title: Best Friends Forever (1523 words) [Teen and Up]
Relationships: Unrequited Chu Shuzhi/Guo Changcheng
Additional Tags: Background Chu Shuzhi/Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan, Shen Wei is dead for three years, So is Da Qing, (Then they come back), Grieving, POV Outsider, Unrequited Crush, Friendship, Bittersweet Ending
Summary:

Now Hei Pao Shi is gone, of course none of them can stay the same.

Title: Experiments in Dynamic Translation (9003 words) [Explicit]
Relationships: Chu Shuzhi/Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan, Chu Shuzhi/Hei Pao Shi
Additional Tags: Established Relationship, Relationships with complicated history, Being closeted in some spheres, Domestic, Unplanned/Impromptu Kink, Identity Porn (literal), Dom/sub, soft D/s, Dom!Shen Wei, Envoy!Shen Wei, Sub!Chu Shuzhi, (Zhao Yunlan enjoys the show), Fealty, Orgasm denial/delay, Dark-Energy Sex Toys, Low-key impromptu bondage, Dixing-Powers Powered Sex, Anal Sex, Voyeurism, Frottage, Long Hair
Summary:

It’s been just over ten weeks since his and Da Qing’s return to the land of the living, and in that time, Shen Wei has not yet had occasion to don his robes of office in front of Shuzhi—or indeed, to conduct any Envoy business at all in his presence. He’s visited the SID once or twice on official matters, but only in Haixing clothes, and he’s been sure to keep his manner light and casual in the public areas. Formal liaising is for the privacy of Zhao Yunlan’s office.

Now, faced with the prospect of a Dixing state dinner, Shen Wei discovers he’s slipped into—not so much keeping secrets, as compartmentalising. Again.

And three drama polls:
- Of violins, weddings, and the wages of blackmail
- Inspired by the Slo-Mo Rewatch discussion...
- The Sundial and the Box
