ARCHIVE OF DIXING | English 镇魂 Guardian Fanworks Directory

In another life Shen Wei's still waiting for Yunlan to be reincarnated. Walking through the grey streets of December he finds a glimpse of his soul, embedded in a soft touch of snowflakes.
Just a short video about Shen Wei's longing on a winter afternoon.
Multiple languages available.

Shen Wei, like all Dixingren, has a unique relationship with the sun, a quiet reverence for its light that comes with growing up in darkness. Zhao Yunlan may not have exactly the same experience, but dying has changed his appreciation of the sunlight, has given him an insight into why his beloved clings to that light with such fervour. It’s easier now, to understand. After all, Zhao Yunlan also knows a thing or two about reverence.

Rating may change in the future.
Loosely based off of A Moment.

Pairings: Weilan (established), Guo/Chu
Summary: Changcheng vows to himself that he could live one thousand times one thousand lifetimes in service, doing only good deeds if it meant that in each of those lifetimes Shuzhi was by his side. Despite his best wishes, the Wheel of Reincarnation is not that kind. (Un)Fortunately, he has his gay god dads Zhao Yunlan and Shen Wei on his side. Da Qing just wants some more snacks damn it.

“Changcheng, please wake up.”

And then it wasn’t just the voice. He felt strong and protective arms around him. He felt a cool hand smoothing up and down on his back.

Guo Changcheng has a nightmare and Chu Shuzhi wakes him up

"There is no we, only you here. It is unwise of you to chase down a murderer without backup, Chief Zhao. A murderer with power, I may remind you. And yes, it is not fighting but you don't know what it really is, do you? Perhaps, I should demonstrate."

Before Zhao Yunlan even prepared for what happened next, the Dixingren's eyes glowed up. Zhao Yunlan helplessly stared into those eyes as if being hypnotized.

The nightmare monster had caught its prey.

“I thought we could celebrate Nianzhi's birthday!” Guo Changcheng held the party hats up as he spoke.

Chu Shuzhi just stared.

“What?”

Guo Changcheng looked down at his feet. “I thought… um… because… I dunno, it's stupid.”

“Come in,” Chu Shuzhi said as he pulled Guo Changcheng into his apartment. “Tell me your idea, none of this ‘its stupid’ crap.”

***
Chu Shuzhi always gets sad and grumpy around his and Nianzhi’s birthday. But this year Guo Changcheng decides to help.

A credible threat to Dragon City's Museum of Art has Zhao Yunlan playing babysitter. It's not all boring though, as Professor Shen Wei stops by with his students and then something goes missing.

Zhao Yunlan quickly comes to terms with his feelings for a thief as he spends more time with Shen Wei.

Not even the Hallows can stop time. But they can bend it, twist it, stretch a second into eternity. He doesn't need an eternity. One more second is enough.

Ye Zun wakes up wearing socks - socks he does not own, socks he did not put on his feet.

Happens during Chapter 75 of the webnovel, which is the first time Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan have sex.

MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD if you haven't gotten this far in the novel.

Enjoy the spiciness!

Hei Xiazi only went to the SID headquarters because he was bored, but the staff speculating about an overheard conversation between their chief and Wu Xie proves to be very very entertaining.

This is a Bonus fic for the series. Doesn't make a ton of sense if read as stand-alone. At least some knowledge of this series AU required

He could smell the city below, immersed in night, as if all the urban hubbub were a single entity. An entity who slept and woke up unaware of its own inner world, ignorant of the outside world. His senses were sharpening, like a sword forged slowly, immersed in fire and water and polished on stone and then again, until the blade was perfect. Until the day he reunited with Shen Wei, he was a shapeless piece of metal, the remains of what had once been a sword. Currently, he was immersed in the fire again, trying to understand the heat around him.
Everything of meaning had remained if the Ghost King and the Mountain God were still there. He simply needed to re-learn how to reach it. That which dwelt inseparably from himself.

It takes all Zhao Yunlan’s will to stop himself in a fight with Shen Wei. To tame the burst before he says something he’s gonna regret later. They had to claw out this only chance at a normal life. There won’t be another one. But for someone who’s not used to talking things out, and make that two people, it’s hard to communicate in anger.

Fang Yuan draws in a shaky breath, hesitantly he tells Zhao Yunlan the truth, all of it.

The temperature in the interrogation room drops uncontrollably, ice crackling beneath Shen Wei's feet. He feels rage rolling inside him as he hears the words spilling out of the man's mouth.

They kidnapped two orphan girls in Dixing, brought them to Haixing then sold them to a middle aged man.
