3.4k | T | Weilan | Intimacy, Episode Fic, Shen Wei Character Study
In the silence of his apartment, Shen Wei presses the door shut, turns the lock. And then, like his body was waiting until he was alone, his legs give out. He tips into the wall, sinks down to sitting on his front mat. Closes his eyes. Or, after the kitchen scene, Shen Wei gets a drunk voicemail from Zhao Yunlan.
my fill for @guardianbingo bonus round five: answer.
i wanted to fill some gaps in canon with this fic — primarily, what happens after shen wei walks out of zhao yunlan's apartment in episode 23. i also really wanted to portray zhao yunlan's blindness in a more anchored way than we see in the show, particularly all the small ways that suddenly becoming disabled changes (or doesn't change) the day to day habits of your life. what i didn't expect was for this fic to slowly become a character study of shen wei that revolves around the way he thinks about his own life, tracing through the major moments of his life up until the present. this is a story about knowing someone and being known in return, about the sometimes-voluntary and sometimes-involuntary intimacy of disability, and about the way that time can change what you tell yourself about your own past.

December Bonus Prompt
Tumblr media
It seems like 2023 started only a few weeks ago and yet December is here and that means it's time for the final Guardian Bingo bonus prompt.
Unlike the finale of the drama, we didn't want to end things on a down note, so the December bonus prompt is:
Renewal
As always, you’re free to follow your muse wherever it takes you. Full info about bonus prompts is located below the cut.
Have fun and happy creating!
And while the fest is winding down, it won't officially be over until the end of January, which is the month when you can post bonus prompts you missed or fill the final squares on your card. If you still want to signup for Guardian Bingo, we'll be issuing new cards through the end of December. We'd love to have you join us!
What Is A Bonus Prompt?
An extra prompt issued at the beginning of each month, starting in February. You can fill it in addition to the prompts on your card or swap it out with a square that you don’t like or is giving you trouble.
How Much Time Do I Have To Complete The Bonus Prompt?
Through the end of the month in which it’s issued. February’s prompt has to be filled in February, March’s prompt in March, etc.
Additionally, January 2024 is reserved as a month for turning in bonus prompts you weren’t able to complete during the month they were assigned. What Time Zone Does The Fest Use For Bonus Prompt Cut Offs?
Since the fest’s participants are located in many different time zones, you’re free to submit your fill for the month so long as there is some place on Earth that hasn’t yet rolled over to the next month, even if your home time zone already has.
What Do I Get For Filling Bonus Prompts?
First and foremost, whatever work the prompt inspires you to create
A way to swap out a square on your card – just be sure to keep a record of the swap
The Merit Brush badge (if you fill 5 bonus prompts)
Do I Have To Complete The Bonus Prompt?
Of course not. They’re 100% optional.
Apart From Having To Complete The Bonus Prompt Within The Month It Was Issued, Are There Any Other Changes To The Rules Regarding Fills?
Nope!  Just like with your card, creations of any length and format are allowed provided that they’re not reused or plagiarized. You are also allowed the same freedom and flexibility in interpreting the bonus prompt as the squares on your card.
Can I See A List Of Previous Prompts?

six sentences sunday
The slack, peaceful expression of Zhao Yunlan asleep, his body curled toward the main room. That instinctive way he reached for Shen Wei, patting along his shoulder for his forearm, for his wrist. Even just earlier that night, sitting in companionable quiet on the couch, Zhao Yunlan’s hand tapping along the leather until it found Shen Wei’s ankle and settled there, skin against skin. As if Zhao Yunlan had gotten used to it too, touching. Their bodies as close as their lives were tangled now. Shen Wei would miss every piece of it.
haha. hurting my own feelings in the down draft of the answer fic! i was initially worried i wouldn't have enough thoughts about that gap between the knife scene and the next scene to write a whole fic about it, but it's starting to seem that the solution is simply: cramming in as much domestic weilan flashback as narratively possible :3

wip wednesday
In the drifting silence of his empty apartment, Shen Wei presses the door shut, turns the lock. And then, like his body was waiting until he was alone, his legs give out. Shen Wei tips/topples against/into the wall, sinks down to sitting on the front mat/in the entryway. He sits there for a long time, curled into himself with his arms around his knees. The whole time, his body braced for the sound of Zhao Yunlan’s door opening, the sound of footsteps crossing the hall. Waiting, again, for Kunlun to return to him.  But no sound comes from outside his door. At last, Shen Wei tips his head back against the wall, lets out a soft, streaming sigh. The sound trembles in the still air. It’s the closest he’s come to crying in years, that he can remember.
from the up draft of the answer fic. im cutting it veryyyyyy close to the deadline this time ahahaha (nervous!) but the writing is going relatively smoothly (knocks on wood) and i think it'll turn out pretty delicious!!

wip wednesday
Shen Wei, and it's Zhao Yunlan's voice, low and unsteady. He's been drinking, Shen Wei guesses a moment before the voice in his answering machine says, I probably shouldn't be calling you like this when I've drunk so much. But I, I don't understand how you could do that for me. Who am I to you, Shen W— Shen Wei stands there with his finger jammed on the pause button of his answering machine and his heart hammering in his chest, and can't quite find it in him to breathe. In the darkness of his office, the light that means there's more message left to hear flashes blurry in the corner of his vision: red, red, red.
this is a snippet of basically everything i have drafted so far for the answer fic, which (as far as i currently know) picks up from when shen wei walks out of zhao yunlan's apartment in episode 23 after the kitchen scene, and continues until ... something wraps up. not sure what yet, but something delicious hopefully

February 2023 Bonus Prompt
Tumblr media
With January behind us, it’s time for the first Guardian Bingo bonus prompt of 2023!
Since February contains both the Lantern Festival on the 5th and Valentine’s Day on the 14th, we had to go with a love-themed prompt.
This month’s prompt is Meet Cute and you have the entire month to fill it.
As with all prompts, the point is to have fun creating! Feel free to interpret the prompt as you wish.
Full info about bonus prompts is beneath the cut.
Have fun and happy creating!
P.S. – Guardian Bingo signups for new and returning participants are open year-round. We’d love to have you join us!
What Is A Bonus Prompt?
An extra prompt issued at the beginning of each month, starting in February. You can fill it in addition to the prompts on your card or swap it out with a square that you don’t like or is giving you trouble.
How Much Time Do I Have To Complete The Bonus Prompt?
Through the end of the month in which it’s issued. February’s prompt has to be filled in February, March’s prompt in March, etc.
Additionally, January 2024 is reserved as a month for turning in bonus prompts you weren’t able to complete during the month they were assigned.
What Do I Get For Filling Bonus Prompts?
First and foremost, whatever work the prompt inspires you to create
A way to swap out a square on your card – just be sure to keep a record of the swap
The Merit Brush badge (if you fill 5 bonus prompts)
