Summary:

“Well, hello,” the man said, his lips tugging up in a smile.

Not prepared for that, all Lin Nansheng could do in reply was to cough shallowly, the exertion of the chase getting to him.

“You can let go, comrade, I won’t run.” Despite the lightness in his words, the voice was hushed, as if trying not to attract more attention. And yet, Lin Nansheng found himself letting go. The stranger used his free hand to support the bundle pressed against his chest.

A bitter and disillusioned Lin Nansheng gets pulled into much more excitement than he bargained for.

YES IT'S DONE!!! 🎉🎉🎉 My longest fic up to date is finished, beta-read and it even has a happy ending! Rejoice with me, for I am very proud. Luolin agenda lives!!!! 🎊

Spreading the LuoLin agenda today. This time... Dragons again because it fits.

@the-marron in LuoLin, we trust

[baiyubai]

for my dear @the-marron who successfully recruited me to further the luolin agenda, which I am all happy to do

All-Forgotten Fics of Yours Truly

You know who constantly forgets to post stuff on Tumblr? Me.

And so now when I tried to find a link to one of my fics I couldn't because it's physically not there 🙃 I am a pro at social media. So now I decided to do a round up of all the Guardian stuff I haven't posted before, just for archival purposes 😅

Guardian

1. To wild uncharted waters

Summary:

Tonight, Shen Wei is abandoning all of Aoguang’s laws and heading towards the shore, for the second time in his entire life. All for Kunlun.

Also known as mermaid!au, written for @birdbird-blog ❤

2. What happens to the heart

Summary:

“I bring an offering,” he starts, feeling the oddness of the words on his tongue. This is not an offering, not exactly. It’s not incense and gold worthy of a god, it’s not a string of worshipful words either, and yet with who they are, The Ghost King has no other word for it.

There is nothing else a ghost can offer to a god.

Novel-verse, an attempt at happy moment between Kunlun and Shen Wei

3. Spellbound

Summary:

Zhao Yunlan and Shen Wei Vs Ancient Couples Counseling

Also known as duck!SW fic

4. The Way of the Househusband

Summary:

Zhao Yunlan vs household chores feat Shen Wei's existential crisis

Technically this one appeared on my self-rec post at some point and it was added to the art that inspired it but I technically didn't publish it here myself, so here it is. Domesticity, dear people, what else can I say.

5. hold every memory as you go

Summary:

Wang Zheng was her first girl friend. It sounds sad when she thinks about it, that the first woman she felt true connection with was a dead girl found by her boss and Da Qing in the woods, but that's still a fact. She didn't have true friends before, not like that.

Also known as: not a fix it people, just Zhu Hong post-canon, thinking about everything she's lost and learning to move on with hope

6. I've got a dream

Summary:

“I swear, if it turns out you have no idea where we are going, I will murder you and leave your body for the crows to find,” Chu Shuzhi said conversationally, stomping through the mud with the air of a man condemned to an unjust punishment. The object of his anger, Zhao Yunlan the Adventurer, just shrugged without turning back. Chu Nianzhi was certain that he had heard worse threats in his life, he used to work at the court after all. Though, in what capacity, Zhao Yunlan had never disclosed – ever since Nianzhi and Shuzhi met him at the inn, winning a strange map from a crowd of very suspicious looking men, all that they managed to get out of him was that he was on an adventure.

Written for an event, it has Chu brothers having The Time of Their Lives (Not) thanks to Zhao Yunlan who Apparently Has A Wife

7. Wish You Were Here

Summary:

Instead of falling asleep, Shen Wei gets to experience the millennia of longing, year after a lonely year.

Written for a friend, featuring, well, lots of loneliness

And I think that's all from Guardian? The rest was here because of the Guardian Bingo, I am pretty sure

And now, as my treat from me to me, the forgotten Luolins:

Luolin [WEILAN DERIVATIVES]

1. Unscathed [WIP]

Summary:

“Well, hello,” the man said, his lips tugging up in a smile. Not prepared for that, all Lin Nansheng could do in reply was to cough shallowly, the exertion of the chase getting to him. “You can let go, comrade, I won’t run.” Despite the lightness in his words, the voice was hushed, as if trying not to attract more attention. And yet, Lin Nansheng found himself letting go. The stranger used his free hand to support the bundle pressed against his chest.

---

A bitter and disillusioned Lin Nansheng gets pulled into much more excitement than he bargained for.

Post-canon longfic that I am still trying to write despite the lack of time. Totally not known as Godzilla AU, not at all good sir.

2. A Practical Arrangement

Summary:

It was a pure accident that Luo Fei and Lan Xinjie knew each other, and that the lady came to Cen Zimo with questions about a possible accommodation for her friend was a sign from the heavens. Luo Fei wasn’t convinced of course, but the argument of 'practical arrangement' swayed him in the end.

Technically it's not Luolin for it features an outsider POV of another deriv that has romantic plans re: LF, but let's be real here, I wouldn't break up Luolin for anyone so it's Luolin through and through. Sorry, Cen Zimo. (I am not)

3. we devour, like a falcon in the dive

Summary:

A quiet moment of trust that morphs into something much more.

Based on art, first attempt to give these two an actual happy ending and not an ambigious one

4. only a touch of dust remains

Summary:

He knows what he will find when he opens the door. He's known for a while, he's been preparing for it but still, the moment his hand touches the handle, he hesitates. He never hesitates, there is no reason for him to do so – there is nothing that can surprise him.

Angst. Outsider's POV. Did I mention angst?

5. All in the Scheme of Things

Summary:

And then Wu-laoshi brought in Luo Fei – a tall, handsome man in a well-tailored suit whose words were outpaced only by his thoughts. It was with relief that Lin Nansheng realized that they didn’t manage to discuss anything and would have to meet again – he had a good excuse to see Luo Fei again.

Modern Teacher!au, a prequel to one of my fics from Weilan Derivs week 2022.

6. Unmoored Academicals [CROSSOVER]

Summary:

A foreboding sense of familiarity washed over Zhao Yunlan. His mind had one, final thought of’ not again’, before the vortex of time opened for good and swallowed everything around him. -- The 'DCU moonlights as Shanghai University' crack that wouldn't leave my brain, with a dash of academia humour

Yeah, I wrote it mostly for crack reasons, but also to appreciate that while there are some similarities between them, SW and LNS are very different, as are LF and ZYL - it is a bit of a love letter to BY and Z1L's acting abilities, dressed up as a crack about a university jumping dimensions, just like Pratchett would have wanted

7. The man you seek is long gone

Summary:

After returning from Hong Kong, Lin Nansheng tries to find out what happened to Luo Fei. -- Mostly canon compliant with some fix-ity changes added

Presumed dead fic, because everyone needs one 🤗

8. It's falsehood's flame, it's a crying shame

Summary:

There is a man at the door, dressed in a rather expensive-looking suit, looking around with a faint air of distaste. He has a cane in his hand and a certain confidence around him – Lin Nansheng notices all of that, but it is dulled by the realization that the man is really handsome. * In an alternate universe, Chen Moqun becomes a crime boss instead of the Station Chief. Lin Nansheng follows him either way, until he encounters an unexpected complication in the form of Luo Fei.

Not-really (and yet) mafia!au which is also my first Luolin ever, written for @babischlong-six 😌❤

and now I am off to live that cryptid life because there are still at least a dozen weilan derivs fics that I haven't posted here either but I don't have the energy to do it today. Better to do something than nothing and all that ~

[the-marron]

ooooh im so intrigued by "Godzilla au chapter 12" 👀👀👀 will you say a little more and/or post a snippet?

Hi~❤ I am glad you asked, now I can subject you to the ✨Luolin agenda✨ Thank you~

It's a Weilan Derivatives ship that puts Lin Nansheng (the Rebel) and Luo Fei (Detective L) together and I for one am absolutely normal about this ship, thank you very much. The possibilities! They are both in Shanghai in 1930s, they are smart, devoted to their ideas but also so, so different at their cores that this seems like a match made in heaven, in this essay I will [ad break, Marron is removed from the stage off-screen]

Anyways, Godzilla au sadly doesn't feature any actual Godzillas 😒 But the plot of this story is heavily inspired by Godzilla Minus One, which is a great movie about war trauma, survivour's guilt and family of choice (or more like circumstance) that makes life worth living for, and considering well, everything that happens to LNS, he fits in this story very well. At this point, the fic is already very far away from the movie plot, but since the main points are taken from it, it still wears the name of 'Godzilla au' in my files 😅 It's currently being published on Ao3 as Unscathed.

And here's a snippet of the upcoming chapter 12 that I do not have the time to finish:

“Luo Fei is a private detective, as I’ve told you. He’s been on a trail of the same criminal for years, throughout the wars and even now, even though… Said criminal now has more power to silence him than before.” He tried to put it as vaguely as possible, but from the look on her face, he could see that Madame Qin understood him - her eyes widened slightly, her lips opening slightly in silent shock. 

[the-marron]

Godzilla au chapter 12?? :O

Thanks for asking 😁❤

Hah, yeah, I know. See, me and my weilan derivatives loving heart watched Godzilla Minus One, saw 'sad soldier with survivors guilt gets a surprise family and has to deal with trauma' and decided that it sounds like a Luolin scenario. What's Luolin? Well, it's a ship consisting of Lin Nansheng (from The Rebel) and Luo Fei (from Detective L) and as they both canonicaly live in Shanghai in 1930s/1940s... Yeah, my brain was thrilled at the idea. Thrilled enough to have more than 50k about it and going.

Sadly, no actual Godzilla appears, it's all just inspired by it 😞 but the ongoing longfic is available here: Unscathed

a short look into chapter 12 (still unpublished):

“It would be better for him if you left your cousin where he is,” she said, crossing her arms in front of her chest. Lin Nansheng was grateful for the care and affection she had for Dayu, but now that she’d voiced the conclusion Nansheng had himself reached and hated, it was hard to truly appreciate the lady’s concern. Even though his mind agreed with her statement, Lin Nansheng couldn’t accept it. The hand around the mug started to tremble slightly as Nansheng replied calmly:

“Luo Fei is not my cousin.”

“I know.”

“He is not my friend either.”

Madame Qin’s gaze turned sharp. Some part of Lin Nansheng wanted to tell her. Wanted to explain everything to voice the truth, but this vague statement was all he could force himself to utter.

Summary:

On the gallery on the first floor, engrossed in a rather spirited talk with another Westerner, there is a man Lin Nansheng thought he will never see again. No one returned to Shanghai after being taken away by the triad, Nansheng knew that. Everyone knew that. The man was taken in 1937, years ago. Lin Nansheng had mourned him.

[baiyubai]

fulfill for the luolin agenda prompt for the Red Pocket Prompt Fest 2023

so @dobranocka said:

Luo Fei, Lin Nansheng, and the new years they got to spend together. Want to keep it canon compliant and angsty? Go ahead! Want to make it cute and fluffy and an au? That's fine too! Anything goes!

so I did angsty fluff that is an au (probably), and it is new year because I said so

words to find in WIP(s)

Tagged vy @dual-domination, thank you!

I have literally two WIPs rn, and a lot of vague ideas about what I want to write in the future and very little drive to write anything at the moment so here it is:

Hands

He wasn’t sure if he was ready to repeat everything, but to his surprise, Lin Nansheng took over the conversation, answering the man’s questions, his hands still on Luo Fei.

Heart

There is a woman on his chair, her face frozen in terrified shriek. The Time Engraver is used to seeing his models in many different situations – mid-triumphant shouts and broken down with sobs, laughing with all their heart and silently staring at their work. But a pure fear is rare, unusual.

I have no beauty anywhere (ain’t that a mood)

My words: tears, embrace, worst

Tagging: @verochkasnightmarecorner, at your leisure

For AO3 Wrapped: 12, 13, 19 <3

❤❤❤

12- How many WIP’s do you have in your docs for next year?

Hmmm... I have 4 started out with Ascel but none of solo projects - all of them I will have to finish this month to get the lit lantern in the guardian bingo 👀👀👀

13- What’s your longest work of the year?

The Story’s Unwinding, also known as the Mummy! weilan au written with Ascel (https://archiveofourown.org/works/40193448) it’s my beloved child with 61k words to its name.

As for solo works: The Thousand Flowers Manor which is a Pei Wende/Hua Wuxie wuxia romance (https://archiveofourown.org/works/42199926) that is 22k+ words long *proud parent noises*

19 - What’s one pairing you want to explore next year?

I am still on my LuoLin (LNS/LF) agenda and I have a whole list of ideas for these two, but I want to continue with Weilan as well. And maybe some new, uncharted waters of weilan derivatives? who knows 👀

Thank you for the ask!

[the-marron]

😭😭😭

I think I can die happy now??? Luolin agenda has recruited the best herald ever, I will not achieve anything greater in life.

This is amazing, still can't believe it's real???

Hope this art is here when I wake up tomorrow but I would not be surprised if it isn't because it's just... Too perfect for words 🥺🥺🥺

Thank you!!!!

for my dear @the-marron who successfully recruited me to further the luolin agenda, which I am all happy to do
