The story will keep on going

[marycrawford]

I've seen all 40 episodes of Guardian. ;__;

The good news: I can now read all the fic and watch all the vids! And I saw some mention of an epilogue from the novel author, anyone have deets on that? (I haven't read the novel, though I've seen a couple translated excerpts.)

The other good news: I finished a story I was working on right after watching ep 40, in sheer stubborn self-defense, and it will go on AO3 as soon as I can figure out a summary for it.

Here's a bit of chat from very early on in my Guardian adventures:

I also feel like we need a way for shen wei to be vulnerable
so, kryptonite, basically
because right now it feels like zhao never would need to worry for him
only the reverse
and ofc I want it to go both ways

...welp. Naming calls, people. Naming calls.

Thanks so much for the sympathy and the novel epilogue details! I may just save this all up until such time as the complete novel is available? I'm not sure if I'll hold out that long, but right now I just want all the drama canon fix-its and fic. I love what you said about the original creator reclaiming her characters, that is definitely the way to go. <3

I'm so glad you wrote more, I've got my fingers crossed that you'll be inspired again (I've never written a proper fixit myself but nearly all my own fic is set in a handwavy alternate ending future in which they got the happily ever after they deserved :P)

Thanks for encouraging me! Ha, handwaving is a totally valid solution, I'm here for it. And yeah, my latest story was written before seeing the last four eps, just going off ep 33's bench scene, so it's not really a fix-it but at least it doesn't end on a Rocks Fall note.
