ARCHIVE OF DIXING | English 镇魂 Guardian Fanworks Directory

Besides some pretty boring stuff - Bai Yu was here to learn some new and interesting stuff, not the mediocre ones - the post had some kinky and interesting ideas as well. But one particular bullet point caught Bai Yu’s attention.
“Instead of sending pictures, call them. Let them know what exactly they are missing.”, Bai Yu mumbled, his eyes already glued closely to the screen. This article seemed promising after all.

Zhu Yilong wakes up in a universe where they’re filming Guardian following the novel.

When he finally unlocks their apartment door and steps in with a quiet murmur of “I’m home”, what greets him is the sight of Bai Yu sprawled on the sofa in the middle of their living room, diligently scrolling on his phone.

There are several lists inside Bai Yu's head, just for this weekend. A few items from the Yes column, a Maybe or two. The rules they've agreed to (no talking about work, no calls, absolutely no mention of monkeys, I mean it); the rules he's carefully keeping track of in general. Some things they wanted to do besides-- well, everything from the first list.

Or: After months of phone calls, texts, and brief get-togethers, Bai Yu and Long-ge manage to carve out a little vacation for themselves. Long-ge doesn't get much of a chance to read his book.

"So we would like to know what do you think of love. How would you define the feeling of it?”, the female interviewer asked with a handsome and reassuring smile.
“Hm, love? That’s a hard question. Well... I would need some time to think about it if that’s okay?”, Zhu Yilong asked with his typical doe-eyes.

Zhu Yilong tries to find a replacement for Bai Yu.

Written for Day 4 of Zhubai Week 2021.

Zhu Yilong is no longer young, he has donned many characters before, and of course some of these have given him insight into what it is that he feels for his former co-star, Bai Yu. However, Bai Yu doesn't seem to feel the same way, apparently satisfied with their amicable relationship since their first meeting. So Zhu Yilong has convinced himself that this is enough, and that he shouldn’t be greedy.

But when Bai Yu surprises Zhu Yilong with the news that he has a girlfriend, things begin to change.

How much really is enough, how long can Zhu Yilong distract himself from the truth, and will Bai Yu realize that Zhu Yilong cares more than he lets on?

The message comes in right as midnight strikes. Bai Yu knew it would be coming and yet still could not keep the butterflies in his stomach under control when he saw the message from his Long-ge.

When they had been filming Guardian, Zhu Yilong and Bai Yu had become inseparable and had spent a large amount of their time together. Despite their clear mutual attraction, nothing had happened between them however. Only a few touches, maybe a few kisses. Okay, more than a few kisses, but the point remained regardless: nothing had happened. After filming had ended, they'd both been whisked far away to different places to work on their next projects. They had never talked about what hadn't happened that summer or discussed the little that had or could happen. That is, until they started to share the same dream, a dream startlingly similar to a certain novel extra in the heart of a valley, where a plum tree stood guard before a small hut.

"Stay," he says, and gently presses down until Zhu Yilong's forehead is resting on his shoulder. "Stay," he says again, quieter. There's still a tension to Zhu Yilong that he doesn't like. "Your body stays here," he murmurs close to his ear. "Your mind can go wherever."

- or, Bai Yu and Long-ge figure things out together. They also shoot a drama on the side.

A tired Zhu Yilong goes home.

“It was an accident, Xiao Bai. Accidents happen all the time, to regular people with regular jobs.”

“Regular people don’t choose to do their own stunts, Long-ge. Maybe we should have become accountants instead. Or librarians.”

Yunlan rubbed his forehead in frustration, "... one last question. How... how old are you?"

Shen Wei started biting his lower lips, suddenly nervous by the question. He looked at his fingers, "I'm... I'm 8 but I'm good with the sword, Kunlun, give me one chance!"

Standing outside in the freezing cold, late into the night at the end of finals week, with about two hours of sleep on his clock, Zhu Yilong wondered why he let Bai Yu get away with everything.
