ARCHIVE OF DIXING | English 镇魂 Guardian Fanworks Directory

The forest was always filled with some sort of sound, whether chirping birds, buzzing bugs, or the wind rustling the leaves, it was rarely quiet, but right now, there was a hush within the wooded area. A hush that was only broken by the intermittent noise of thrashing and what sounded like an animal in pain.

This was why Guo Changcheng currently crept as quietly as he could through the forest. He looked ahead of himself with a small dagger (his only weapon on hand) gripped tightly in one hand.

Eventually, he came upon the source of the disturbance, and what he saw made his eyes widen. “Oh no.” He breathed, “Oh no. We have to get you free.”

“They’ll be here soon.” Guo Changcheng fretted; his voice pitched higher with his worry as he risked a quick glance around the clearing.

Somewhere Zhao Yunlan found himself laid out quite haphazardly on the floor. It was a cold linoleum floor and objectively, he knew, it was likely very dirty, but for several gasped breaths he couldn’t find it in himself to care.

Not while his lungs still burned for air thanks to the completely overpowering strike that threw him three aisles over.

"Get him!" Those are the last words that leave Zhao Yunlan’s mouth as he disappears in the wormhole and Shen Wei doesn’t have the time to wonder, to think because if he doesn’t act now Zhao Yunlan might disappear forever.
So he runs forward, grabs Ye Zun’s arm and pulls both of them into the wormhole, before it disappears.

"Why? I mean, why do you fight? You don't—" Zhao Yunlan lets the sentence die out, what's he going to say, seem like the type? Shen Wei doesn't seem like it, but it's not like Zhao Yunlan knows him.

Zhao Yunlan looks at Shen Wei across the floor. I'm sorry, Zhao Yunlan wants to say, but there are no words and he can only hope that Shen Wei can read all the things Zhao Yunlan can't tell him in his eyes.

Zhao Yunlan is pretty sure this isn't what Shen Wei had in mind when he pointedly suggested that he and Ye Zun spend some time together and learn to get along.

Podfic of Stay With Me by tinypinkmouse.

Zhao Yunlan is not okay.

It's a surprise!

From Zhao Yunlan, silence is deafening.

The moment when the words, "Take me instead!" had come out of Zhao Yunlan's mouth had been a slightly desperate one. Well, he always knew he'd go out on the job, he just didn't expect it to be as a sacrifice to summon—something.

There are things that can't easily be taught - even if you have a special ability.

Zhu Hong notices something odd about Chu Shuzhi.

After seeing Shen Wei in leggings, Zhao Yunlan may never be the same again.

“You’re sure this is where it pointed to?” Zhao Yunlan asked as he cast a look around the forest because it was always a forest, wasn't it? Of course, it was.

Lin Jing waved a hand rather maniacally around himself, “Yup, somewhere around here. You know it’s not always pinpoint accurate.”

Zhao Yunlan would be happy not to invite his dad to the babies' one-month celebration. Zhao Xinci is not going to be happy about Shen Wei or the babies. But Shen Wei has feelings about family, and Zhao Yunlan finds himself unable to say no.

Zhao Yunlan did not believe in species-altering meteors, nor in all-powerful protectors. He figured evolution had done its thing and Elementals had come into being naturally. And as the Chief of SID, he’d sure had never seen a protector show up when he or his team got into trouble. No, the all-powerful protector was a myth that gave people courage to walk around at night.
At least, that’s what he’d thought until about five minutes before.

Zhao Yunlan never puts his own wellbeing first.

Zhao Yunlan wakes up just as he's falling off the couch... and there's something very wrong about that.

Shen Wei had promised not to act, but there was so much blood. If it came down to it, he'd do what he needed to do in order to help Zhao Yunlan.
