ARCHIVE OF DIXING | English 镇魂 Guardian Fanworks Directory

Five snapshots of summer memories and one present moment.

The wedding photo shoot, but it's not just a photo shoot this time.

Continuation of 'The Guardian', the Chinese drama series...

Zhao YunLan lives his new life as the wick of the guardian lantern. Every day, he burnt mercilessly inside the lamp so that he can provide a better life for the DiXing people.

Until one day, an unusually beautiful comet passing him. Zhao YunLan recklessly makes wishes, which are brought into reality.

But what going to happen if every wish has its consequence?

"They really wanted it to be true."

Bai Yu knows exactly what Long-ge is talking about — Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan. And, more importantly, not Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan.

The door is locked, that's the important part. (The key card ends up on the floor.)

Bai Yu presses a quick kiss just under the bruise, hoping it's just as unremarkable and meaningless as all of their easy intimacy has always been, and he laughs, bright and overcompensating. He makes sure to grin, eyes sparkling in his best carefree impression, in an attempt to make Long-ge laugh together with him.

Just another memory for Long-ge to shake his head about, for Bai Yu to treasure forever. He needs many of those, for later.

This one still that looks like this. :) (Gif context.)

"You and this lollipop— The things it did to me, Long-ge."

They're idly scrolling through fan comments, Long-ge's head on Bai Yu's chest, and a gif of young Shen Wei doing downright obscene things with the candy sends Bai Yu down the memory lane.

"You're the one to talk."

Bai Yu's embrace and his soft, sleepy voice are even warmer than the morning sunshine that fills the hotel room, and Zhu Yilong basks in them happily for a moment before replying. "Mhm. You were talking in your sleep."

Memories of filming the rain scene.

He's had dreams like this before, more times than he can count. And that's exactly where his wishful thinking and wayward interpretations belong. The real Long-ge doesn't— Does he?

When he sees his co-star's smile widen, his own posture relaxes instantly. An immediate trust blossoms between them —so sudden it feels almost unnatural.
Neither believes in fate, only that hard work paves the path one chooses to follow.
Yet that encounter changes them forever.

He gets to kiss his Long-ge. Somehow, impossibly, it's not a dream anymore.

The possibility of getting all of this back, even if it still doesn't mean anything more, even if it's only for a few months again, is intoxicating and takes his breath away.

The plane picture but even softer. :) (Or maybe not - it's very likely that nothing can be softer than that.)

"I would say that I've never even dreamed of this, but... That's all I've been doing since I met you. Dreaming of this," Bai Yu says with his cheeky smile and boundless tenderness underneath, trailing kisses down Zhu Yilong's collarbone.

It's the night of the last day of filming, and the last thing Bai Yu has ever expected from it is being kissed.

Bai Yu doesn't even know why he keeps this conversation going, but it's quite a lot like not being able to stop poking a bruise.

One way to win an arm wrestling match against Zhu Yilong.
