Two stories (one Guardian-adjacent, one Guardian crossover)

[trobadora]

For Yuletide, I wrote for Zhu Yilong's Thermos "Flower Series" commercials - if you're not familiar with them, they're worth a watch! Here's a playlist with most of them (though the first video is a bit atypical), and here's one more commercial.

Here's what I wrote (I talk a bit more about it on my journal, in case you're interested):

• One story for the "Flower Series" commercials - this features Zhu Yilong's character as a dragon, and a white cat whose human form I imagined as played by Bai Yu::
  

  Heart-Seed, Heart-Flower (8,465 words)
  Fandom: Thermos "Flower Series" Commercials
  Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
  Characters: Zhu Yilong's Character (Thermos "Flower Series" Commercials), White Cat (Thermos "Flower Series" Commercials)
  Content Tags: Magic Flowers, Magic Waters, Dragons, Cats, Shape-Shifters, Multiple Worlds, Lonely Wanderers, Magical Quests, Saving Worlds with a Magic Bottle
  
  Summary:
  
  The bottle was plain and unadorned, the lotus pattern that would have signalled the success of his quest nowhere in evidence.
  
  He'd failed.

• And one Guardian crossover for the above (a Guardian canon divergence/fix-it for the ending):
  

  Dragon of Flowers, Dragon of the City (2,275 words)
  Fandoms: 镇魂 | Guardian (TV 2018), Thermos "Flower Series" Commercials
  Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
  Characters: Da Qing, Zhu Yilong's Thermos Character, Zhao Yunlan, Shen Wei, SID team
  Content Tags: Canon Divergence (for Guardian), Episode Related, Episode 37, Fix-It, Hallows Shenanigans, The Wick of the Guardian Lantern, Magical Flowers, Cross-dimensional Wanderers, Saving Worlds with a Magic Bottle, Dragon City is named after a dragon
  
  Summary:
  
  Lao-Zhao leaned forward, resting an elbow on a knee. "I thought you got all your memories back."
  
  "Yeah, yeah." Da Qing waved a hand in the air, dismissively. "Not remember like 'I don't know my past', remember like 'where did I put my keys'. Except not my keys."

Ahhh, these sound so wonderful (I saw them when they were still anon and I knew they must be yours, hee :D) and gentle and calming and pirate Bai Yu as inspiration asdfghfjdksl xD, I hope I'll get to read them soon! ♡♡♡

[trobadora]

I hope you enjoy them, whenever you get there!

And I'm very curious, what gave it away that they were mine?

[facethestrange]

Hee, considering I haven't even read them yet, it was just the fact that I knew you were doing Yuletide, and I don't think any of the other handful of people who write Guardian nowadays were doing Yuletide (or at least I didn't know about that). ;D And hey, I was right. xD :D

Haha, great sleuthing, sometimes circumstantial evidence is everything. *g*
