#shl big bang

[ithappensoffstage]

Happy 2 year anniversary to Word of Honor! To celebrate, here’s a comic I commissioned from @sadfishkid . This is based on a part from my SHL Big Bang fic, Every Drop of Rain, a soulmate au with a twist that was an absolute pleasure to write. The fic was my love letter to a show that means the world to me, and I’m so thrilled to share this beautiful art on its milestone birthday.

Wen Kexing steps forward, still smiling, through flashes of lights. In the periods of darkness between the flashing, Zhou Zishu wants more than anything to have that smile back. He searches for Wen Kexing’s full face, body taut and moving in sync as if attached by a thread—

Wen Kexing isn’t wearing his mask.

Their eyes meet, and Zhou Zishu’s world explodes into color, a dazzling, dizzying, rich rush of shades beyond his comprehension. The club is black, and the lights are white, but when they meet it’s to illuminate vivid hues. He knows some are cold and some are warm, just like his body. He shivers as if from a chill, or from a fever. His knees shake. As Zishu falls, he realizes that Wen Kexing is his soulmate.

hi this is a different anon, i know you don’t want to get involved in discourse but i need to back up my fellow shl fans because i have no idea WHAT the “loli” anon is on. a) look at any of her visual portrayals, in ANY adaptation. b) “dainty” is a beauty standard in china!!!! source type “chinese beauty standards” into google. (also i know chinese people irl and they have told me it’s still very much an ongoing thing.) basically the beauty ideal for chinese women is to be short, small and thin. one of chinese infamous beauty practices was wrapping girls’ feet so they wouldn’t grow too big. calling a teenage girl youthful and dainty is so normal that i genuinely have no clue where anon’s batshit idea came from. i’m 99% certain they’re a troll actually.

side note, have you heard of bottomji big bang? i didn’t think it was worth sending an ask about, but in case you didn’t know there is actually a large fanbase for bottom lan wangi <3 i hope you have a wonderful day

hey hey! I'm completely on board the SHL train and as I mentioned in my first response, I've never seen her treated as a loli by the fandom, so there's no need for defending :D even if it's mentioned in the source material as such, however it's meant, the fandom always portrayed her in the best of ways and always on par with her peers (age-wise). And even then, jsut like with MDZS, they all start as teenagers and then there's timeskips and all, I'd say this shouldn't even need to be a discourse 😅

I did see that, yes! Sadly I am too occupied to join any fandom activites currently :(

This is not just an ode to @randomingoftherandomness ‘s wonderful fic “Time After Time” but to the writer themselves for being absolutely amazing through it all! I couldn’t have had a better partner for the @shlbigbang ! I really hope you’ll go read their fic as they deserve all the love for their hard work. Also a huge thanks to the beta Vucizalis on their behalf ;3;

Summary:

This was the moment where Ah Xu asked, “Master, are we going back home with this younger brother?”

This was when Qin Huaizhang replied, “Yes, from now on, you’ll have a friend. You must love and care for each other. You’re the elder brother here, so take care of him. Do you get it?”

But this does not happen. It takes Wen Kexing a second to realise that Zishu is looking back at him with a strained expression that is equal amounts terror and longing. He is sure it is mirrored on his own face.

It's posting day!! Read @alipeeps amazing fic here!! If you'd prefer, you can also view the art on AO3.

Ali, it's been a pleasure working with you!! You were so helpful when it came to talking about what you'd like to see, all the little details like Zhou Zishu's hair length and the white eyes, and your encouragement throughout our time working together!! Thank you 💙

There. In the mouth of an alleyway Zhou Zishu had passed by further down the street, a man lounged insouciantly against the wall, his eyes fixed on Zhou Zishu. Zhou Zishu let his gaze skim over him before turning away, showing no sign that he’d noticed the man staring.

the stranger span back around and snatched the creature out of the air by the throat, holding it almost effortlessly aloft, while it kicked and scrabbled and snarled, its hands clawing desperately at the stranger’s grip

Slowly, Wen Kexing sat up in the bath, his shirt clinging wetly to his chest and arms. He held Zishu’s arm in front of him with both hands, turned palm upwards, and stared at it with a mixture of desperation and despair.

“You’ll need to stop me,” he said roughly, his voice shaking. He looked up at Zishu and Zishu bit back a gasp at the familiar yet disconcerting whiteness of his eyes. Then Wen Kexing lunged forward and bit deep into the flesh of Zishu’s arm.

Somewhere back down the tunnel, something collapsed with a deep rumble, and the orange glow surged, lapping along the stone walls...

Don't forget to check out Ali's fic here!! And thank you again to @alipeeps and @wanderingfandoms !! You two made it so much fun to work on this project 😊💙 and thank you to Lian for all your help and for being the reason I even felt comfortable signing up for the bb 💙

After being diagnosed with a rare heart disease and coming to terms with being at the end of his life, retired black and white photographer Zhou Zishu finally agrees to book a session with famous model and persistent fan Wen Kexing, a man he discovers is his soulmate.

Every Drop of Rain by thirdactlove

This fic is part of the @shlbigbang project! Thank you to my beta for putting together this awesome cover art.

[moonraccoon]

The skies are clear and a full moon hangs right above the window, washing the rooftops of the capital silver. On the table, neatly laid side by side, are seven red nails, a scroll and several pots of herbs and ointments. He picks one up and idly studies it, twisting it between his fingers.

“Will you really do this?” A serpentine voice says, breaking the silence in the room.

“You know I will.” Zhou Zishu says, eyes still on the nail.

My contributions to the SHL Big Bang 2021! I had a lot of fun working on these pieces based on this wonderful fic by Crimson_Sbird on Twitter - a Word of Honor/His Dark Materials crossover. @tencitizens also created this beautiful edit over on YouTube - please go and check both works out!

He instead opened his hand and placed it palm up, waiting. Zhou Zishu trailed his fingertips across that open palm and began to trace idle patterns back and forth. - Stumbling Blindly Towards The Light by thecaitlinperry
