ARCHIVE OF DIXING | English 镇魂 Guardian Fanworks Directory

Shen Wei is still getting used to this whole family thing, particularly to the loving insults between family members. Making tang yuan for Dongzhi Festival with Mama Zhao, while she trades insults with Zhao Yunlan and Zhao Yunlan’s dad, who is slowly coming around, sure helps though.

Wanting to kick off their forever together, Zhao Yunlan brings home a surprise before the New Year. Shen Wei couldn't ask for anything more than a home together with the love of his life, but he gets more anyway.

Part I
Zhao Yunlan and Wu Xie meet in a queer bar on a cold January night in Shanghai, over drinks and stories of broken hearts. The problem for both was that they - or those with them - didn't know what they wanted before, in a very recent past.
The problem for both of them now, is that they know exactly what they want.

Part II
Shen Wei knows perfectly about "him". Things have changed for some time now, but he is still part of SID and Zhao Yunlan's life. But Zhao Yunlan's life sometimes brings unexpected things to life that Shen Wei thought he would lead alone.

(All the fics in this series are stand-alone)

The one where Shen Wei really is a plum blossom yao (or alternatively, a Flower Tribe Yashou).

Zhao Yunlan would really like it if people could stop making him the most responsible person in the room, thanks.

“Look team, we don’t need to answer this one: we have a pretty good lead, we garnered a lot of head-start that will probably last us through the next round, so we can take a breather. We don’t have to get it right,” he said, trying to sound like a calm, self-confident leader and not like a guy who would rather die again than give that rat Cong Bo the satisfaction of beating him.

“Are you sure your mother wouldn’t like flowers?” Shen Wei resettles his innocuous professor glasses over the bridge of his nose, inkbrush eyebrows furrowed.

The morning after the first waking day of Shen Wei’s second life, he gets up to find his old face in the mirror.

Shen Wei was so preoccupied with collecting all the pieces of Zhao Yunlan he was allowed that he almost did not notice what they added up to.

“A deal,” the Judiciar told him, showing him a contract signed in Zhao Yunlan’s own hand. For a chance to meet that one person again and live a happy life with them, Zhao Yunlan would work as an Underworld detective, chasing malevolent spirits for five hundred years. It didn’t sound that bad, truly - it was that kind of an afterlife that he would decidedly like, yet Yunlan had no memory of ever signing this contract.

“Where’re you goin’,” mumbles the lump on the bed.

As if handling glass when it was anything but delicate, Zhao Yunlan cradled it in both hands removing from the cardboard box and bubble wrap. It was lighter than expected not that he could pin point why he thought it would be heavy in the first place. But those thoughts were fleeting, difficult to hold onto in the face of the sheer panic twisting it's way through his stomach at what it could mean. He stared almost entranced and unable to look away from the empty eye holes of the mask in his hands.
The familiar, ornate, black and silver mask.
If the mask was here, then where was Hei Pao Shi?

Zhao Yunlan didn't know where that promise came from, but he knew that someone should love him as much as he had loved the person, to have a promise with him to fulfill in another life. Thus, he pushed his feelings for Shen Wei away from himself, he certainly shouldn't think of his sworn brother that way, he was surely just in pain for a love he didn't know where to find.
A love that Shen Wei himself, years later, helped him look for, but they had found nothing.
And so, disconsolately, he preferred to be left alone about getting married, he preferred to just continue working for the Guardian Order and live a life that Shen Wei would always be a part of, even if he could never be his. If that had been the case, he wouldn't have had to worry, at that moment, about whether his children would be all right now that their mother had passed away.
He needed some more wine.

A Ghost King and his God millennia apart

Lin Jing was not a heart-broken man in need of some consolation.

He was an annoying student trying to write an academic paper about magic and Chu Shuzhi wanted him out. It wasn't even that he didn't like the kid, though he was the annoying know-it-all type that believed drinking four cans of energy drinks made him a genius. No, it was because Shuzhi had no idea what the protocol regarding showing magic to the living who were not here to have their wishes granted was.
