ARCHIVE OF DIXING | English 镇魂 Guardian Fanworks Directory

The first thought Zhao Yunlan has when he realizes he isn’t burning is that someone heard his desperate pleas, and he’s finally been granted oblivion.
His second thought is that oblivion is breezier than he expected, and smells a lot like old grass clippings.

Zhao Yunlan wakes from the guardian lantern to find himself in the not-so-distant past. It's nothing he expected, and better than he deserves. Regardless, a chance is a chance; this time, he's making sure everyone makes it out alive-- no matter what it takes.

"I think I told you to quit smoking about ten years ago," Shen Wei breathed warmly against his husband's cheek, "And then I forgot to say it again." His tone was so soft and pleasant, Zhao Yunlan only laughed quietly.
"It can't kill me anymore."
"It's still a bad habit.”

This fic is a stand-alone.

Stumbling across him, incredible, powerful, inimitable, in this disreputable bar entertaining a drunken crowd, it must be fate.

Shen Wei meets someone he knows but who doesn't know him. Kunlun was born as a slave, and he is very, very pretty. Shen Wei struggles with the temptation he can't simply escape because leaving him in this situation is not an option.

"Where is Hei Lao Ge?" Zhao Yunlan asks the guard as he has gone around the camp looking for Shen Wei for half an hour without a trace of him.

"Hei Lao-? Oh, you meant Hei Pao Shi Daren? I saw him heading into the forest an hour ago, my Lord." The guard bows at him, gesturing towards the forest direction.

Sitting in the armchair by the window, he turned the page of the book, paying attention to the notes that the previous owner had made on the edges. It was curious to him how one could get to know a person just by reading what they chose to highlight and comment on in the text of a work. Shen Wei had several books that had once belonged to that same person. It was like an intimate friend he had never met. Maybe that person was already dead, but that thought didn't make Shen Wei sad or happy. It was just the fortune of being human. Shen Wei didn't know if that fortune now also belonged to him. After all, part of him was human too.

Guo Changcheng has an idea he wants to try out. Chu Shuzhi and Ye Huo go along with it.

Zhao Yunlan has inherited his father's prejudices about Dixingren. He sees them as violent and untrustworthy.
Yet, a case finds him facing a Dixingren crying in regret over what he did. And professor Shen is nothing like he expected any Dixingren to be.

Amidst a multi-layered case, Zhao Yunlan questions his prejudice, gets to know Shen Wei, and makes some discoveries about Hei Pao Shi.

Shen Wei, recently arrived to Haixin to begin his life as a student at the Dragon City University, suspects this clinic is a bit unusual. Something he can only ascertain by coming there in person. And he does need to have a medical history if he wants to blend in.

Or, Shen Wei's introduction to the Dixin network in Haixin. Don't tell me there isn't one.

Zhao Yunlan spends his first day alone with their newborn daughter.

Zhao Yunlan remained silent for a while, reflecting, as the smell of chocolate began to fill the apartment.
"Does your family know about us?"
“My family besides Xiao Hua who watched our drama in the rain live?”
"Yeah, the others who weren't eating popcorn during our drunken romantic cliché."

...

“It has been a long time since someone other than Xiuxiu or Xiazi has stayed in this house with me. Sometimes I think it’s a bit too big.” Xiao Hua stared at the fire ahead, the fireplace warming the room that usually turned cold when Shen Wei wasn't hiding his true nature.

“Interesting … and in non-professional settings?”
“What?” As soon as Zhao Yunlan thought he had Wu Xie figured out, the other continued in a direction he hadn’t expected. Sure, Wu Xie had given control of their dance over to Yunlan, but there was no doubt that Wu Xie was still very much in control of their conversation.
“If I wanted to see you again, would you mind?” he reworded his question.
