Guardian Plenty
***
It's been A Week (and yes, I know it's only Wednesday) so some delicious fandom things that cheer me up.
Namely, my awesome Guardian 520 Day Reverse Exchange haul.
Kind of fell into this fandom by accident, and decided to do the exchange because it had a 300 word minimum and that sounded like a fun, hassle free way to dip my toe in... Well. Haha. Should've known better. Obviously ended up writing over 16k of most self-indulgent gift fic ever, because
yantantether's prompt just allowed me to pour all my feelings and some porn into a thin 'undercover at a bdsm club' plot. Result. Also was super blown away by the reaction, felt like the old LJ days when one actually used to get comments on one's fic :D
Anyway, rambling. The point of this was to pimp stuff that I got! The way you did the challenge was to pick three anonymous offers and provide prompts/requests for them, but you didn't know which one you'd be assigned to. One of the offers I picked was a vid one and I asked for a BAMF/dark Shen Wei vid and provided some song prompts. When the reveals went up I basically lost. all. my. cool. I mostly just keysmashed and howled incoherently at them.
lola had recently done an absolutely studding and heart-wrenching Guardian vid Fear of the Water which I had forced on everyone who sat still long enough, and now? Now she had made me this, the most perfect BAMF/dark Shen Wei using a mash-up of one of the songs I suggested nonetheless.
It is dark and sharp and hot as a freshly forged blade. Please watch Bury A Crown below and then leave feedback to the vidder here.
I also got an unexpected gift of art! The lovely HanHathma did this absolutely gorgeous art of the final scene of The Black Lotus Club. I mean... Look at them! Their positions, Shen Wei's hair, his hand on Zhao Yunlan's face, Zhao Yunlan's little belly rolls <3 the tenderness is tangible, everything I imagined and more. Please leave love to the artist here.
