Hello! Sharing two pieces of fanwork that

llonkrebboj and I worked on separately but are kind of like companion pieces. The first one is a Justice in the Dark fanvid I made to 以沫 Yi Mo, one of the Mo Du | Silent Reading audio drama theme songs; the second one is

llonkrebboj's translation of the full song. Will also be linking to other translations since I'm a fan of multiple translations.

Justice in the Dark fanvid - 以沫 Yi Mo:
In which Luo Weizhao follows Pei Su into the abyss. Clips from this video were taken from various episodes of the entire series.

Watch on YouTube

Translation notes: on AO3 or Tumblr

Mo Du | Silent Reading: 以沫 Yi Mo (shared breath) song translation (includes some dialogue at the beginning):

Watch on YouTube

Translation notes: on tumblr; more notes here.

Alternate translations:

chaikat's singable translation (Twitter), with very detailed translation notes (Gdoc) that cross-reference with novel chapters.

peachiprint's song translation: text version (Twitter) | subtitled video (Youtube)

Not a translation but I just remembered that I made a piano arrangement of this song here lol (audio preview + downloadable sheet music)

Hi, and welcome to this week's installment of the Guardian novel readalong!

Here are last week's chapters, and you can find all previous discussions in the schedule posts (part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4), or via the !readalong tag.

This week's chapters:

Chapter 13: Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan untangle the truth about the past. Zhao Yunlan recaps the whole saga back to Shen Wei to verify his understanding. Shen Wei recounts his promise to guard the Seal and stay away from Kunlun, and he confesses that he orchestrated all the visions and other events (including Zhao Yunlan seeing him drawing his heart blood) so that Zhao Yunlan would stay with him and they could die (ie, cease to exist) together. Back at the flat, they start making out, then stop to talk about the blood-drinking. They decide to live together like mortals for the next few decades.
Chapter 14: Guo Changcheng and Chu Shuzhi stake out a motorway off-ramp in the freezing cold and search a number of buses to look for a ghost's missing daughter. Chu Shuzhi calls Daqing to ask about Guo Changcheng's flame-coloured merits. Chu Shuzhi slaps a talisman on Changcheng to check he's human. Changcheng finds the missing girl, and Chu Shuzhi arrests the kidnapper.

The corresponding chapters in the Chinese version on JJWXC and the fan translation are chapters 92 to 94.

Excerpts:

( 1) Primordial Wei looked for Kunlun before they met )

( 2) Wei's deal with Shennong )

( 3) Negotiating the blood drinking )

( 4) Chu Shuzhi and Daqing on the phone )

( 5) Changcheng takes being 'killed' surprisingly calmly )

Questions:

Do you understand the primordial past backstory now? Who comes off worst in this real version of events? How do you feel about Shen Wei going to these lengths to deceive Zhao Yunlan and guilt-trip him into staying with him? What does it mean that Zhao Yunlan called Shen Wei his husband, rather than wife? Would you prefer to be on a stakeout with Guo Changcheng or Chu Shuzhi? Do you have any thoughts about how moments in these chapters affected or were remixed in the drama adaptation?

(As usual, these are all just conversation starters - feel free to answer all, some, or none, and to say as much or as little as you like! You don't have to be keeping up with the readalong!)

Our schedule for this round -- please sign up to host a post if you can!

Hello, I am here to tell everyone about the greatest Hong Kong film I've ever seen, 1989's Into the Fire, about two bros from opposite sides of the tracks who find themselves together on the run from both corrupt cops and Triad gangsters! One is himself a Triad member, the other is a rich boy from a good family! They get knocked down, they get up again, they share some tender looks and a bathtub!

If this intrigues you at all, I have reposted my original bluesky thread on this movie on my DreamWidth. :D

Whatever it is, talk to us about it here. Tell us what you liked or didn't like, and if you want to talk about spoilery things, please hide them under either of these codes:

This week's prompt is the following lines from the poem "Girl warrior, or: watching Mulan (1998) in Chinese with English subtitles" by Nina Mingya Powles: "in Chinese one word can lead you out of the dark / then back into it / in a single breath."

You have until midnight your time on Friday, June 27, to answer this prompt. Please post your fills of the prompt as separate entries to the community (i.e. not replies to this entry), tagged with the prompt tag. You may post multiple standalone drabbles per entry in addition to drabble sequences and series.

As a reminder, this community has no official presence elsewhere. You are encouraged to share the prompt on social media, if you so desire. It may take me a bit to create the AO3 collection, so please be patient.

Also, I'm going to go ahead and drop a link to the prompt suggestions post here. New suggestions are always, always welcome.

Drama Weilan art and 2 fics, and 1 Zhubai fic. :)

Go, Quick! by facethestrange

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan
Characters: Shen Wei (Guardian), Zhao Yunlan
Additional Tags: Ye Olde Haixing Era, Hurt/Comfort, sex as comfort, Hand Jobs, Post-Battle, Tenderness, Established Relationship
Summary: Even after the frantic, desperate healing, when their skin is unmarred once again, Shen Wei can't shake off the feeling that the pain is not gone, hidden somewhere underneath. He faintly realizes that it's not located where his own wounds used to be — the sword went straight through the right side of Kunlun's chest. Shen Wei can feel the searing burn of it regardless.

Kissing It Better (1920 words) by facethestrange
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: 镇魂 | Guardian (TV 2018) RPF, Chinese Actor RPF
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Bai Yu/Zhu Yilong
Characters: Bai Yu (Actor), Zhu Yilong
Additional Tags: Porn with Feelings, Plot What Plot/Porn Without Plot, Tenderness, Bruises, (the bruises are not caused by the sex), (they're important but they're only there to be kissed gently), First Time, Blow Jobs, Hand Jobs, Come Eating, Gentle Kissing, Love Confessions
Summary: 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 is not the place for rants...but if you want one about the first three episodes I vented on my own page. Come for me if you must. I have no regrets. Well...maybe one. I'd like that watching time refunding.

Title: Whatever It Takes to Bring You Back (5691 words) [Teen and Up]
Fandom: 镇魂 | Guardian (TV 2018)
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan
Characters: Shen Wei, Zhao Yunlan, Wu Tian'en, Ding Dun
Additional Tags: Whump, Pain, Loss of Agency, Episode Related, episode 17, Zhao Yunlan's first trip to Dixing does not end well, Until it does, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Hurt!Zhao Yunlan, hurt!Shen Wei, Get Together, First Kiss (for one of them)

Summary:

“Shen Wei! You’re here—” Zhao Yunlan was sobbing. Then he screamed again, curling in on himself and clutching his forearm. “Fuck, this hurts! Get it—this—get it out of me! Help, Shen Wei—”

Something was very wrong. Even if he were terribly injured, Zhao Yunlan wouldn’t permit panic into his voice. He would make jokes, not scream for help. How much agony must he be in, to have broken like this?

(Btw, in the course of writing this fic, I realised that the weapon that Ding Dun attacks Zhao Yunlan with is a medical syringe gun. I'd always assumed it was scissors or something.)

Nominations are now open. Please read this post before you go and nominate!

Eligibility

Eligibility criteria are that relationships need to:

be a / ship involving male characters only
have no more than 200 fics on AO3 - this includes only complete works of at least 1000 words in English (using "otp:true")

A full list of the exchange rules can be found here.

Clarifications

If there's a possibility of confusion regarding a ship of fandom you wish to nominate, please comment on this post to clarify before you nominate.

This will hopefully cut down on queries during the nomination period so that approvals can be made more quickly. However, please bear in mind that checks are time-consuming and nominations are displayed to mods in a random unsortable order so most approvals won't be instantaneous!

Reasons to comment here may include:

difficulty of locating information on a character's canonical gender
your ship seems to be over the number limit even after applying search filters but is actually under it
the fandom you wish to nominate is "All Media Types" or "& Related Fandoms" and this is the most fitting, specific tag
the fandom is canonized weirdly on AO3 and you do not want to nominate that version for reasons
anything else you wish to make me aware of!

Please do not comment if your ship has over 200 fics before filters but drops under 200 with them; we will be checking numbers using the appropriate search filters.

As a minimum, please let us know:

the fandom and ship(s)
an outline of the issue
your view why the fandom or ship(s) should be approved

Feel free to include as much additional info as you feel is necessary! Too little information is worse than too much =)

( Checking your ship's numbers )

The tag set will close for nominations at 20:00 UTC on Sunday June 29. View the countdown here.

Please bear in mind that numbers checks are time-consuming and nominations are displayed to mods in a random unsortable order. Most approvals won't be instantaneous and are unlikely to be in the order submitted!

Please read the instructions before you nominate.

( Guidelines and notes under the cut. )

If you wish to provide any information on the eligibility of your ship (re number of works after search filters, canonical gender, etc.), feel free to do so here!

If any nominations require clarification, I'll ask questions in a separate post.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here or email tentaclemod@gmail.com. Anon commenting is on.

Now go forth and nominate!
