ARCHIVE OF DIXING | English 镇魂 Guardian Fanworks Directory

After being rescued from his imprisonment, Shen Wei admired the starry sky that he had not seen for a long time. And the loved one he never believed he would see again.

"You didn't have to come down the mountain just for that." The being pointed to the umbrella.
“Oh?” Kunlun couldn't believe the audacity of that ordinary thing to dismiss him and not even thank him for his concern. “What kind of thing are you that you don't even have a bit of courtesy?”
...

Zhao Yunlan thought that there was something very wrong with him for being so allured by Wu Xie and his partner, by the relationship they had... and he didn't even know Shen Wei in person. He thought he had done a lot of ridiculous things in his life, but falling in love with a couple is the worst of them.

Shen Wei coughed, a fleck of blood beading on the side of his lips, and Zhao Yunlan’s heart thundered heavily in his chest. He was dimly aware that his hands were shaking as he held on to Shen Wei.

“You got yourself hurt again!” Da Qing’s petulant tone and scolding words are softened by the way he is carefully curled on Shen Wei’s stomach, purring so loudly that the sound vibrates throughout Shen Wei’s body.

Zhao Yunlan falls into another dimension, and then promptly proceeds to nearly die. It turns out that dark energy doesn't agree with him and it's everywhere.

Shen Wei often found himself marveling at the thought: he had a real life. He was delighted with every thing about that house, about his new life. Some of his paintings, less personal than what only Wu Xie knew, now also began to appear on the walls of the house - landscapes, flowers, birds. It took a lot of encouragement from Wu Xie for Shen Wei to be confident about decorating the place with the art he made himself. He was still shy about it, but he was satisfied somehow.

After settling in Longcheng, the cold weather that sets in reminds Shen Wei and Wu Xie of how they once breathed together. And maybe it promises them that they will still be there when time passes, appreciating what they never wish they had let go.

Working at the SID, Wu Xie faces the memories in silence. Memories of the one who forgot him and everything he once meant.

Zhao Yunlan expected the Regent of Dixing to be like the Envoy—dignified, robed, and brandishing his power for all to see. And maybe he would have been more of those things if his first introduction to the SID hadn’t been Lao Chu furiously attacking him in the street.

AKA: Zhao Yunlan learns about Dixing politics and gets a crash course in Envoy. (The final part of the Taking It Slow series.)

With Ye Zun's face bare, there's only one reason why someone would recognise him.

Or, Ye Zun is caught attempting to steal the Hallows from the Alliance. It changes things.

In the bleak industrial wastelands of Dixing, a mother poisons herself and her twin sons in an attempt to escape the collective abject misery and poverty that envelopes their existence.

A decade later, an undergraduate senior proceeds with a sensitive research topic for his honors thesis.

Son of Haixing housing mafia's boss, seeking redemption from a painful past, with his estrangement from his family spawning feelings of self-loathing, finds himself irrevocably, devastatingly drawn towards the person that threatens to topple his life as he has always known it.

"Well, aren't you going to do something?" Zhao Yunlan asks, with a teasing leer.

Shen Wei huffs and tells him, "I'm admiring you, Zhao Yunlan. You're quite amazing."

It makes Zhao Yunlan's expression soften into a warm smile for a moment, before he declares, "Of course I am. But if you're just going to look at me—"

“Hush, everyone who doesn’t want to lose their bonuses, shut up!”

"Yunlan—" Shen Wei began.

"Xiao Wei—" Zhao Yunlan accosted him with widened eyes and the expression that usually distracted Shen Wei enough to quell his protests.

Nonetheless, Shen Wei persisted. “I don’t believe I receive any bonus, so you can’t take it from me,” he said drily.

“No, I was just going to say, it’s for research! You appreciate that, right?!”

Shen Wei was not going to start this argument again. The fact of Kunlun regaining his powers had, somehow, given him a thirst for testing out how mountain god capabilities interacted with modern technology.

Zhao Yunlan has to wrap his arms around Shen Wei's brother to keep him from running to Shen Wei. For someone who'd apparently hated Shen Wei up until a handful of moments ago, he sure is desperate to join him now.

Shen Wei is caught in the rain. It ends well.
