ARCHIVE OF DIXING | English 镇魂 Guardian Fanworks Directory

Zhao Yunlan runs his fingers over the blades, working to get into that mindset where he can break Shen Wei apart. It always takes him a while, something he has to actively work for, and he takes his time just as much as Shen Wei does.

Shen Wei’s dominant characteristic is his willingness to protect and defend. His family and friends can be forgiven for wishing this did not result in life-threatening situations.

This is an AU, 20-30 years post-canon, where Shen Ye Zun actually worked for the SID before Shen Wei discovered Zhao Yun Lan.

Somewhere far below, Shen Wei is counting on him, and Zhao Yunlan is so fucking useless he can't even find a way to help him. He imagines a future without Shen Wei around to complain about the state of his fridge, bully him into eating vegetables, provide his effortlessly startling insights into SID's cases, and kiss him until he's nothing but a mass of nerve endings, and the thought makes the emptiness inside expand until it begins to swallow him.

Shen Wei makes a new discovery, and Zhao Yunlan has a belated realization.

[My podfic version]

[Star Wars AU] Ye Zun is dragged back into the Rebellion he tried to outrun, fights the brother he'd fled from, and witnesses him have a moment with the Chosen One. It is not a good day.

Death comes to those who try for Zhao Yunlan's life.

Zhao Yunlan is suffering from the heat wave. Shen Wei helps out.

Feels like something that I've done before. I could fake it, but I still want more.

[AU scenario where Kun Lun didn't meet Shen Wei as a child, and Shen Wei led a rebellion against the gods and was punished for it. Horribly.]

In the aftermath of a war, Kun Lun eases Wei's pain the only way he knows how.

A silence, and Zhao Yunlan tried to hear Shen Wei—waited for a word, a breath, an explosion of power. Nothing came, other than footsteps. “Let me go,” Zhao Yunlan forced the words out of a throat too tight for air.

Damn those pesky human limitations.

Shen Wei tries to work, Yunlan distracts him.

What has Zhao Yunlan done now?! For a prompt over on Dreamwidth.

When he’s covered in warm blood with still pulsing innards in his hands and sharp teeth, there’s a sick thrill, a wild energy that courses through him that nothing else can compare to. It’s his nature, in the end, and Shen Wei can only fight it because he accepts that these urges exist inside of him. He pushes it all down, further and further, wraps it up in the guise of the pristine as a clean sheet of paper professor, as the noble and stern guardian Ghost Slayer, as the beautiful boyfriend that Zhao Yunlan loves to pamper and coo over.

This is a podfic of "Black Cloak Reversed" by kyrilu.

Author's summary: Chief Zhao is a little too friendly with the Black-Cloaked Envoy. The members of the SID worry that he's being emotionally disloyal to Professor Shen.
