ZenYuki Week 2023

It has almost been a year since our first ZenYuki Week, and we decided to celebrate again this year, just a day sooner than last year. 

ZenYuki Week 2023 takes place the week of June 4th through June 10th. About a month from now.

The incredible prompts for the week, itself, were brainstormed by @noctusfury​ .

The theme is “Summer” this year. Please @ this blog, in case Tumblr goofs up or we miss your posts somehow. Please tag your submissions as #ZenYuki Week 2023, which we will check, to find posts as well. We hope you have a lot of fun and really enjoy this event!  The prompts are also listed down below:

Day One: Fireflies 

Day Two: Park 

Day Three: Barbeque 

Day Four: Constellations 

Day Five: Warmth 

Day Six: Festival/Fireworks

Day Seven: Free Day / AU

We hope that you’ll be able to participate in our second annual ZenYuki Week. We look forward to the creations you’ll come up with. Hope to see you soon.

Shining Summer Memories

Playlist for Zenyuki Week 2023 by @zenyuki-festival

Glad my Zenyuki playlist draft had songs to fit this year’s prompts! Arranged the songs in order of the daily prompts (and surprisingly “Ordinary” was the only one that was a bit of a stretch... but I love the new orchestra version too much not to use!). Also thanks to @soya-ix for the Taylor song inspiration 😊

Shining Summer Memories

Sweet Nothing- Taylor Swift (Day One: Fireflies)  The Ballad of Laura and Mike- Matt Pond PA (Day Two: Park)  Ordinary (Revolving Doors Version)- Copeland (Day Three: Barbeque)  Snow On The Beach- Taylor Swift (Day Four: Constellations) Dancing with Our Hands Tied- Taylor Swift (Day Five: Warmth) There Cannot Be a Close Second- Copeland (Day Six: Festival/Fireworks)

Summary lyrics and daily prompts are cited after the cut:

Sweet Nothing- Taylor Swift (Day One: Fireflies)

I spy with my little tired eye Tiny as a firefly A pebble that we picked up last July Down deep inside your pocket We almost forgot it

You say, "What a mind" This happens all the time

And the voices that implore, "You should be doing more" To you, I can admit that I'm just too soft for all of it

All that you ever wanted from me was sweet nothing

The Ballad of Laura and Mike- Matt Pond PA (Day Two: Park)

Would you promise to try not to die? That’s the only fear of mine There could be more but I want people to hear you Singing bout the stains in the fire

I’m good at worrying When you’re gone out west The garden’s doing fine The rabbits are my friends

I think I believe in you more than I believe in myself

Ordinary- Copeland (Day Three: Barbeque- this theme is a bit of a stretch but it reminds me of them sharing everyday meals together)

Today was fine I woke up late like I always do Made work just in the nick of time And thought of you And when I returned I found you just like I always do Waiting for me like you always are

Since you came along My days are ordinary We laugh just like yesterday And I kiss you like the day before And I hold you just like ordinary Perhaps when the day is new We'll find tomorrow is just ordinary too

Tomorrow came and my shadow it was growing long I came home to find you singing songs Just the same And today it seems You're smiling like you always are Everyday it's the same old thing

Snow On The Beach- Taylor Swift (Day Four: Constellations)

One night, a few moons ago I saw flecks of what could've been lights But it might just have been you Passing by unbeknownst to me

Flying in a dream, stars by the pocketful You wanting me tonight feels impossible But it's comin' down, no sound, it's all around Like snow on the beach

My smile is like I won a contest And to hide that would be so dishonest And it's fine to fake it 'til you make it 'Til you do, 'til it's true

Dancing with Our Hands Tied- Taylor Swift (Day Five: Warmth)

I loved you in secret First sight, yeah, we love without reason

My love had been frozen Deep blue, but you painted me golden Oh, and you held me close

Oh, how was I to know that I could've spent forever with your hands in my pockets Picture of your face in an invisible locket You said there was nothing in the world that could stop it

I loved you in spite of Deep fears that the world would divide us So, baby, can we dance Oh, through an avalanche?

Oh, 'cause it's gravity Oh, keeping you with me

There Cannot Be a Close Second- Copeland (Day Six: Festival/Fireworks)

You've got an extra special heart A perfect light that shines through And it seems the hardest part Is shining back at you

So forgive me 'Cause I don't know what to do

When you look at me There can be no hesitation There cannot be a close second to you

Happy start of ZenYuki Week 2023!!

Day One: Fireflies

@zenyuki-festival

tried something totally new and different this time eheh now let them enjoy their lil firefly catching date

Zen mentioned never trying to catch fireflies as a kid and Shirayuki decided to take matters into her own hands and show him the wonders of deep dark woods

A Chance To Sink Into The Crowd And Be Together

@zenyuki-festival Here’s my fic for Day Six! I filled both of the prompts for today! And we’re definitely back to our regularly scheduled fluff, that I only sort of deviated on during Day Three, I think?  https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14242571/1/A-Chance-To-Sink-Into-The-Crowd-And-Be-Together

A Somewhat Unguarded Moment

@zenyuki-festival Here’s my Day Three submission, which is a bit more hurt/comfort-y than pure fluffy, but I guess after three days, I can break that trend.  https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14241410/1/A-Somewhat-Unguarded-Moment

Nestled Against Your Side

@zenyuki-festival Here’s my fic for Day Five! Fluffy and with a dose of friendship. :) https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14242113/1/Nestled-Against-Your-Side
