a little treat for @lunarriviera, who wrote an amazing fic that would not stop buzzing around my brain despite the fact that i dedicated my entire day yesterday to reading and commenting on it.

i cannot really do it justice, but i wanted to make something for it anyway

December Tag Wrangling

Howdy new folks! This is always the slowest of my art sideblogs; there's just not that much fanart getting made for it, I flirt right on the edge of my maintaining my personal goal/limit of "a queue good for a week posting at least once a day." But, I'm always looking for more, especially older stuff, and I'll do my best to keep us well-fed with Zhenhun content!

[yilian0203]

YOUR BLOOD SHED LIKE FALLING PETALS.

[xiermifen]

Some recent and not so recent art. (feeling shy about posting non long comic posts here...)

[forerussake]

Pleased to show off my finished card and badges for the @guardianbingo! Thank you so much for organizing this. I had an absolute blast coming up with ways to fill all the prompts. I don't think I have ever been as productive in fandom as I have been in the past year, and it's all thanks to you and this wonderful event ❤️❤️❤️ I'm sad it's over, but I am so so happy that I got to participate!

The story will keep on going indeed.

List of all my creations, with links and descriptions, under the cut:

B3 – Alternate first meetings Exchange: fic in which a young Zhao Yunlan approaches Hei Pao Shi with an impossible request.

B4 – Powers Reconnections: fic in which Zhao Yunlan and Shen Wei struggle with the trauma of returning to life after canon, and a desperate Dixingren takes matters into her own hands.

I2 – One bed Art of Shen Wei, Zhao Yunlan and Da Qing curled up in bed.

I4 – Guo Changcheng Learning curve: fic in which Guo Changcheng struggles with his new job, and professor Shen gives unexpected advice.

G3 – Sofa The starlight after rain: fic in which Cheng Xinyan takes care of Shen Wei after the infamous rain scene.

G4 – Kitchen The easy part: fic in which Zhao Yunlan cleans the kitchen after the equally infamous kitchen scene.

Writing Patterns

Rules: List the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there's a pattern!

Thanks for the tag @dual-domination <33 This sounds fun!

Shen Wei comes to awareness slowly. (Out of near-death - Guardian, Shen Wei-centric)

“What are you doing?” Zhao Yunlan asks. (The light of new beginnings - Guardian, Weilan)

It’s not the first time Zhao Yunlan sees the Ghost Slayer fight. (Raw - Guardian (novel-verse), Pre-canon (?) Weilan)

Almost a year passes in between the end of the Guardian promo tour and the next time they see each other. (The shared art of drowning - RPF, Zhubai)

It’s late afternoon, the sun slowly starting to creep towards the horizon. (Learning curve - Guardian, Guo Changcheng and Shen Wei-centric)

His back aches. (But pursue no regrets - DMBJ, Pangxie)

It starts, as many thing do, with a question in a group chat on a Sunday afternoon: Is professor Shen okay? (The grace of care - Guardian, Shen Wei and Jiajia-centric)

“It shouldn’t be possible,” Zhao Xinci grumbles, “and yet here we are.” (Exchange - Guardian, platonic Weilan i guess? Zyl is literally a child in this and they’re meeting for the first time idk)

Lao-Zhao’s doing it again. (Petrichor - Guardian, Weilan, Da Qing POV)

Blood isn’t hard to get off the kitchen floor. (The easy part - Guardian, Zhao Yunlan-centric)

Patterns: I like to start with shorter sentences, to quickly draw the reader in. I either start with something to introduce the setting a little bit but with a twist, or with some action. I try not to open with (too much) exposition or description, instead trying to make my first sentence immediately evoke questions: what is wrong with Shen Wei? What is he doing?? Blood on the floor??? Developing the pace and mood of the piece first, and only then delving deeper into the real setting and what is actually going on. If I can I like to put my readers on the wrong foot a little at the start: e.g. ‘exchange’ isn’t about zxc at all. The first sentence for me is all about drawing the reader in, and once I’ve got them, that is when I start explaining myself. (There are exceptions to this, where I start with the setting right away, e.g. in ‘learning curve’, but i tend to look back on those as my weaker opening lines/paragraphs :)).

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Spread the self-love ❤

wheee hi thanks!! I already did this twice recently: here and here! But I'm definitely going to just use this as an excuse to ramble about more of my poster fics heheh. Let's see:

The shared art of drowning: Zhubai RPF, set a year after the press tour. Bai Yu runs into Zhu Yilong backstage somewhere, and reflects on everything that has happened to them, and whether he's brave enough to take the leap.

to bring the sun down to his knees and have him taste the rainbow: Zhubai RPF (again!), this is 100% porn disguised as me waxing poetic about sunlight. It's on this list because it was my first time writing a threesome, and also the first time I couldn't name one of the characters, so I had to be extra creative with perspective and describing sensory experiences.

the starlight after rain: Guardian, Shen Wei-centric. Post-rain scene, a thoroughly shaken and soaked Shen Wei goes in search of comfort to the only person he's ever truly been able to be honest with: Cheng Xinyan.

spirometer: DMBJ, post-TLTR. Pangxie. Details the challenges of Wu Xie's recovery post Thunder City, and his love for Pangzi (and Pangzi's love for him).

(oh please don't) look at me like that: QZGS, Xiao Shiqin-centric. The story of what led him to leave Thunderclap, and how he eventually returned.

Thanks for the ask, this is always fun to do <3

Guardian Reblogs

Welcome to Guardian/Zhenhun Art Reblogs, a sideblog by @unforth. I reblog (almost) all art I see for the fandom. Feel free to ping me if you need anything! If you see me reblog a repost, please let me know so I can delete it - reposts are never okay! I do reblog “reposted with permission” posts of artists on other platforms. I have made a good faith effort to not reblog reposts, but obviously mistakes happen - when they do, let me know, and I will correct the mistake by deleting the reblog in question. This blog is very lightly moderated; I tag artist, character(s), ship(s), and common trigger warnings.

Want to read Guardian? Learn how to get access to yukacchi's translation here.
