ARCHIVE OF DIXING | English 镇魂 Guardian Fanworks Directory

Steve asked Sergeant chu to keep an eye on peter parker. He can do that, and it shouldn't get him into too much trouble.
Alas. trying to keep a would-be teenage hero and his cinnamon roll partner Guo in one piece is going to give him a migraine.

In his mind, Zhao Yunlan sees Shen Wei on the ground of an unpaved Dixing alleyway just a few hours ago, asking, “What if a time comes when I have to use my injuries to exchange for everyone’s lives?”

He sees them at the SID the previous day, making plans, Shen Wei’s face set in grim lines.

A bench on the streets of Dragon City, bathed in sunlight.

Meeting Shen Wei again in the vortex created by the Hallows, after months in a distant past with a young man who was different and also very much the same.

With a start, Zhao Yunlan realizes his brain isn’t summoning up the images of its own accord. The memories are being pulled up and out of his mind, one by one, faster and faster — and then disappearing.

"Unless you can erase my memories."

"How do you know I can't?"

Or, what would have happened if the drama ended the way the novel did.

[flamingwell's podfic version]

Things are starting to come to a head. The Avengers have gotten a hold of Loki's scepter, unaware of the true nature of the mindstone or how it's related to Shen Wei. Trying to discover its secrets have released something on the world and it may destroy everything.

“Deal,” Zhao Yunlan says, because there is nothing else he can say.

The flames claim him soon after.

Pain doesn’t wash away the bitter taste of the lie on his tongue.

It was a really nice day. Picture perfect.

Spring had sprung and the Flower Tribe had opened their borders to invite the SID and crew to celebrate the end of the dormant season and the beginning of the growing one with them.

Silently, Zhao Yunlan couldn’t help but muse that perhaps one day they might open their borders to all, but for now, he’d take this over nothing at all.

-- Or how the author really misses warm weather because fall is feeling more like winter where she lives.

Zhao Yunlan finds out a lot earlier that the Envoy isn't as invulnerable as he seems.

Chu Shuzhi‘s scarf looks very soft, is very long, and it smells like him... Chu Shuzhi doesn’t know what to do with his hands, but Guo Changcheng doesn’t demand anything of him.

When you wander into a nest of vampires, the safest thing to do is play along.

Please, he thinks, not even trying to keep the utter desperation out of his thoughts. Let me bear it, let me take this pain, I will do anything.

(The Dial hears the proposition of a bargain, and takes it.)

“We got a new case.” Chief Zhao said around the habitual lollipop stick that poked out from between his teeth. “It’s a missing person’s report and before anyone asks no, it’s not a missing Dixingren.”

That earned a few raised eyebrows as well as an all-around soft murmur.

“I know these sorts don't usually fall in our laps, but the reports from the festival workers and eye-witnesses swear they can still hear the ghostly screams of the victims, so Dragon City Police has happily called us in.”

Shen Wei takes a breath; with the Regent finally gone, it's the first time he hasn't been under scrutiny since he clawed his way out of dreams and the earth both.

"You'll never get this through peer review," Shen Wei says, and then he pulls Yunlan up to kiss him.
