hi, I'm dt / dtriad @ tumblr / Dayadhvam @ AO3. Rather belatedly found this comm, but thanks to the mods for setting it up. :)
I saw chatter about Guardian in NiF fandom etc. and decided to check it out--and then the next thing I knew I'd blown through the whole drama and was brushing up my rusty reading skills to tackle the novel. While the drama and novel have different characterizations, relationship dynamics, and tropes, they just happen to appeal to different parts of my fannish id and I LOVE THEM BOTH. (They're diff enough that I do prefer the 'verses kept strictly separate and am a bit meh about priest's fix-it extra 4. I'd say novel!ZYL wins out as my fave by a hair.)
Favorite drama scene: "Worth it." SW's bitterless smile! ZYL's confused anger! plus every other scene where SW looks at ZYL with suppressed desire, plus every other scene where ZYL looks at SW with blatant desire... so, discounting the scenes where they look at each other in pain at the thought of losing each other, 95% of their on-screen shared scenes :D?
Guardian made me want to try my hand at Ch->Eng translation for the first time, so... yep. (Maybe in the future I'll revert to my past fandom participation norm and actually write fic. XD)
