new Hikaru no Go fic for Yuletide

I joined Yuletide the way I've come to prefer, same as last year: I didn't sign up, I browsed people's prompts and wrote a story as a gift fic. In this case it was for

thefourthvine, and it was for Hikaru no Go, which I've never written in before. Perfect timing for the fandom to rejoin Yuletide, since I recently watched the anime and was full of feelings.

new Guardian fic: Close Your Eyes and See Me

I started posting my long Guardian art AU, yay! It's about 85k which I'm still cutting into chapters, and I need to fix and expand some scenes toward the end so it's not quite done yet. But posting once a week or so will give me time to work on that.

Close Your Eyes and See Me (4006 words) by marycrawford
Chapters: 1/?
Fandom: 镇魂 | Guardian (TV 2018)
Rating: Mature
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan
Characters: Shen Wei (Guardian), Zhao Yunlan
Additional Tags: Art School, Alternate Universe - No Powers, except the power of Art, Drawing, Painting, Professor Shen Wei (Guardian), Detective Zhao Yunlan, Undercover, Nude Modeling, Identity Porn, Romance, Slow Burn
Summary: It seemed like a good idea to Zhao Yunlan at the time. Take a job as a life drawing model, observe the students, try to figure out if one of them murdered the previous art professor.
Get paid to sit on a chair, basically. Piece of cake, right?
Well.

This all started from a delightful prompt by

cyberbrain in the Guardian Prompt Fest in May 2020. Yeah. It's been a while, but this story kept me company through the upheaval of the past years.

Three cheering things

It was really nice of Zhu Yilong to record another one of those Thermos ads in what feels like a very fannish setting - a cozy cabin in the snow, quite an idyll, complete with piano and cat and a raging snowstorm outside. I'm not sure why he would want to leave it for CGI land, all he needs is someone to knock the snow off their boots and join him in the cabin...

Meanwhile, we're having ridiculous late-summer weather over here: 21C tomorrow, or 68F. Which is incredibly welcome, since we're also in an energy crisis and any excuse not to turn on the heating is welcome. (It's frustrating that I want to write 'gas crisis', but the US uses the word for the stuff they put in their cars.)

I've not been doing super great for various reasons, but one third thing that cheers me is that I'm making progress on finishing the long Guardian AU I've been working on intermittently since...somewhere in early 2020, apparently. I'm thinking of posting the first chapters once a week or so, while I work on the back end, as it were.

I've never actually posted a serial on the AO3 before - anything I should be aware of? I presume you can still change tags, ratings, etc, as the story progresses?

2021: fanfic year in review

I liked seeing

elenothar's fanfic year in review post, and it made me want to do one too.

January
Two stories for

fandomtrees:

Threat Level: Bears for

laireshi. Guardian, Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan. The one with the bears.

the food of sweet and bitter fancy for

shipperslist. Guardian, Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan. The one with the outside POV.

February
Three stories for

sundial_exchange:

Tailor-made for

sakana17. Guardian, Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan. The one where Shen Wei visits his tailor.

A Tolerance for Pain for

xparrot. Guardian, Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan. The one where Zhao Yunlan is lost and Shen Wei goes metal.

like thunder under earth for

dorinda. Guardian, Chu Shuzhi & Shen Wei. The one where Chu Shuzhi is wounded and doesn't need any help from his Lord.

May
The Wake. Star Trek: TOS, Kirk/Spock. Not actually new fic, this is a tiny dialogue-only story I once wrote for a K/S con.

September
Two stories for

guardian_wishlist:

Seamless for

sakana17. Guardian, Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan. The sequel to Tailor-made: Shen Wei takes Zhao Yunlan to his tailor.

spoils of war for

sasamelons. Guardian, Zhao Yunlan and Da Qing. The one where Da Qing leaves Zhao Yunlan a present.

October
The Catboy's Day Off. Fanfic for an original AO3 series. Irredeemable filth. The one where a catboy gets more help than he can handle.

Most of the year I've also been working on a Guardian AU in fits and starts (the one where Shen Wei is an art teacher and Zhao Yunlan becomes his model). I really hope that I can post it in 2022, I want to get the plane out the hangar!

And from this list, it's quickly evident how much I enjoy fanfic challenges and writing treats for people; having a deadline to work up to has been a saving grace in a year when it's been so hard to concentrate and get anything done. I have a story for

fandomtrees this year, too, but it won't be live until tomorrow.
