At one point this summer all of my old Nirvana in Fire mutuals on Tumblr were all suddenly screaming about Guardian in a very, very effective sort of way.
The first gifset I saw was incredibly spoilery and made me go "I need to find out what happened to that one guy the other guy was so worried about!" (Oh sweet summer child. Current me can tell past me she's not going to like it.) (It was from episode 39. I mean not to spoil anyone who's wandered in halfway through watching the series, but. Yeah.)
And the post that got me real interested was this flailing by Lazulisong, and then the non-spoilery gifset I saw that made me go oh no I must watch this right now was this one of the taxi scene in episode 8.
Because. Oh. That tenderness...!
So I watched it all and I have rewatched most of it and also read as much of the novel as is translated (without skipping ahead, though, so I guess that's chapter 69 or so now?).
I talk a lot about the WIP that ate my life - also known as A Twist of the Kaleidoscope. It's a massive fix-it with extra everything that follows canon up until episode... well, mostly until 29? But then it really veers off in 33. It's tagged as a Nobody Dies/Everybody Lives AU, and also Angst With A Happy Ending. And after 93k words, I am almost there. Almost, but not quite! The first four chapters are up, and this fandom has been so amazingly generous with comments and feedback. <3
Anyway. Yeah, I have it bad. (And by that I mean I am so happy here!) I've got a background in Japanese, so I can puzzle out the meaning of written Chinese, but my comprehension in general is pretty much nil. My wife, however, is a native Mandarin speaker, so I tend to force her to tell me what Zhu Yilong and Bai Yu are saying in their ads and interviews, much to her amusement. (I don't think she'll ever be over Bai Yu's KFC Chicken Taco. ...the chicken is the taco?!)

Guardian has sparked my creativity in amazing ways, and I am so grateful for it. ♥ I've made quite a few gif sets on Tumblr (including some with original poetry?? I've never done that before...), and I write a bit of fic. (Including my first explicit m/m!)
