Medium Likes: Fic! Art of any sort! Meta! Poetry! Informal headcanons! Probably many other things too, but that's what I can think of right now!
Medium DNWs: Audio-only media. (Audio with a written transcript is fine!)
General Likes:
- Friendship, team, and family dynamics (blood family, adopted family, and/or chosen family) (how do they interact? what in-jokes do they have? do they have any traditions?)
- Loyalty and explorations thereof (why does someone choose to be loyal to a specific person? how does that express itself?)
- Character studies (what makes a character tick? what do they want? what drives them? what are their ideals/fears? why do they care about [specific place/person/thing]?)
- Caretaking (hurt/comfort! tending physical wounds, making someone rest, cooking food, etc.)
- Characters crying (for any emotion: joy, sorrow, fear, surprise, relief...)
- Compassion and empathy as valuable skills
- Competency! (characters being very good at things! characters practicing until they are very good at those things! casual excellency! pride taken in a job well done!)
- Slice-of-life things (what do characters do in their downtime? what hobbies do they have? how do they relax? what's an ordinary day like, when plot isn't interfering?)
- Ways that magic/advanced tech are integrated into everyday life
- Wingfic! Flight and flying in general, also. (I tend to like feathered wings best, but I am here for literally any kind of wings you're interested in: dragon, insect, mechanical, purely magical; ones grown since birth or acquired by curse or blessing or questionably-consensual experiment...)
- Atypical narrative structures and POV (1st person, 2nd person, epistolary, poetry, nonlinear storytelling, in-world texts, IF...)
Art-related:
Draw my faves with wings and I will love you | Tarot, symbology, dream imagery, illuminated manuscripts, and related things | A character surrounded by items they carry/often interact with | In-universe art! Formal portraiture, social media posts, anything of that sort. | Characters being relaxed, happy, snuggling with their partner/friends, or otherwise having a good time. | Characters interacting with animals | Characters doing what they do best (crafting, fighting, working, etc.) | I’m very happy to see art focusing on the scene at large and allowing the character/ship to be a smaller aspect of the whole
Sex/Kink focused:
Powerplay, D/s, bondage (esp. honor bondage) | Sensation play, temperature play, impact play (but not slapping/spanking, please) | Marking/claiming a partner; grabbing and pulling hair | Biting, bruises, impressions left by rope/leather | Loyalty kink, devotion, worship | Non-penetrative sex (esp. oral sex!) | Sex that doesn’t involve genitalia at all | Clothed sex, partially clothed sex, only one person is clothed sex; uniform kink | Wingkink, tentacles, and other interactions with nonhuman sensuality/sexuality | Sex scenes focusing on foreplay/aftercare/afterglow | Masturbation
General DNWs:
Noncon/Rape | Incest (inc. adopted families) | Unrequested major character death (canon events are fine!) | Stories focused on abuse (stories about healing from abuse are great; just don’t center the abuse) | Large age/maturity disparities in relationships | Teenagers (~under 18) having sex with adults (~over 21) | Underage sex (younger than 16) | Daddy kink, ageplay, etc. | Spanking | Rimming | Vomit, scat, piss | Suicide/self-harm | Characters not being able to breathe | Mind Control
Fandom: Guardian (Drama)
General note: I liked Guardian's ending! I am happy to see works that engage with it or consider what would happen post-canon in a canon-compliant manner. However, I am also completely fine with fix-its and canon-divergence and whatever other ways of averting the canon ending makes you happiest as a writer; I love the wild variety of ways people take things. :)
I do like weilan as a ship! However, because there's so much that tends to focus on them, I am currently more interested in rarepairs and team-centric gen. :) If you're doing a narrative work, feel free to have weilan exist/be a B-plot, though!
If you wanted to remix any of my Guardian fic in any fashion, that would thrill me so much. :)
Chu Shuzhi /& Ye Huo
My favorite rarepair! I mostly am interested in them post-canon, because the way they're positioned to help rebuild after everything went down is super interesting. I think that they've got a lot of similarities in how they can approach the world (protective, combative, honestly quite sweet under the gruff/macho exterior) and I think that they both have an incredible potential as mentors for young/disadvantaged people.
I would love something about them working together, whether that's on a case for the SID or on a personal project like rebuilding Yehuo's fighting gym. I think they're great for slow-burn and the kind of romance where you just sort of fall into a Thing without quite naming it, and then when someone else names it you're like "...oh shit, I guess you're right?" and the like. I think they'd be really interesting to see as roommates going about their lives and supporting each other.
Chu Shuzhi /& Shen Wei
I love Chu Shuzhi's relationship with Shen Wei/the Envoy! It's so complicated and mostly just gestured at in the show!
In many ways I'm more interested in the Envoy side of this than the Shen Wei side, because I'm just so very here for loyalty kink. Pre-canon stories about what Chu Shuzhi's relationship with the Envoy was (how/why the Envoy found him to so dramatically rescue him from prison, how/why CSZ was the one sent to the SID, what meetings between them were like, etc.) would be absolutely fantastic to me!
I'd also love something about CSZ's feelings about the reveal. How does he take it? How does it change things? (How doesn't it change things?)
I'm deeply fond of the idea of CSZ doing bondage things with his strings. I'm interested by that in both a non-sexual kink way and here for it if you want to go a more sexual route.
SID Ensemble
I adore the whole group together! I honestly just want anything that focuses on the team as a whole and the family atmosphere they have. I'd especially love stuff about in-jokes and headcanons about what they do during their free time and just generally how they interact as friends and chosen-family. :)
Pre-canon cases, unseen during-canon cases, post-canon cases—anything you'd like! Or stories about them integrating together; movie nights, food eaten together at 1am because that's when the case finished, dares and bets and in-jokes they have. Show me the team working together to clean up the SID and finding souveniers of old cases! Maybe a Rashoman story, where they all tell their own takes on one case/event? That'd be incredibly fun.
Assorted Other Things (not as writing-centric)
- I would absolutely love to see a list of times Chu Shuzhi touches people during the show, and the context of said contact. (Punching people counts! Being punched by people also counts, tbh, because I'm curious about that too.)
- Any headcanons, meta, or thoughts you have about Dixingren lifespans!
- A rec list of case/mission-centric fic! Or just recs of fics/other fanworks you think have influenced the fandom at large or you think people just have to see. (I have read surprisingly little in this fandom and would like a better idea of where to start.)
- Images of Chu Shuzhi smiling (gifs, icons, picspam)
- Meta/headcanons/fic/general thoughts about Yashou! Stuff about their shapeshifting powers, what happens if a crow yashou and a snake yashou have kids, how their society works, where they live (and how they keep Haixingren from noticing them), what sort of contact they have with Dixing... anything along those lines!
- Any thoughts or feelings you have about Yehuo! I love him! I'd love images of him (art, edits, gifs, etc.) too, if that's more your speed. :)
- Tell me about your favorite rarepair! Give me a ship manifesto, gesture incoherently at images while going "THEM!", go "I just think they're neat", whatever; I love hearing about rarepairs and I would love to know more about yours and why you like them! (if you're going "wait is this rare enough—", so long as it's not weilan or chuguo I'm pretty sure it is!)
Fandom: Detective L
Huo Wensi /& Luo Fei
- I have yet to figure out how to articulate my feelings about the tangle of obsession that binds these two together. Love and frustration and desire and respect all blended up; they can't let go of each other but that doesn't mean they necessarily like each other.
- I fully believe that they had a pre-canon relationship and an extremely messy break-up. I do not know anything beyond that. Please tell me anything you'd like about this.
- How did they meet for the first time? Was it on a case, or something else?
- How many cases did they solve together before things broke bad?
- They both have a Captain obsession, in their own ways; did they enable each other in this?
- I love how smart they both are, and how well they know each other.
- I would like them to tear each other apart (verbally, physically) but not be able to meaningfully harm each other because they need each other too much (to solve a case, for personal reasons)
- Post-canon cat-and-mouse as they chase each other around the city
- Post-canon team-up for any reason where they're exceptionally petty about it (bonus points if this team-up is accomplished by Huo Wensi letting Luo Fei catch him so that they can have a Conversation)
- My original moderately incoherent prompt I gave for rarepairs is also still true: "They are both very smart. I love them working together. I love casefic. I love seeing the specific weird trust Luo Fei has in Huo Wensi's abilities. I want to know more about WTF Huo Wensi is planning at any given point in time. I want them to have inadvisable sex and/or fake-date as part of cover for a case. I want them interacting and I don't know if I care if it's as rivals or as friends or what the emotion is so long as they're having Feelings at each other and maybe kissing about it (or pointedly not kissing about it)."
Fandom: any
The actors themselves also qualify for this one! For fills based on their acting roles, don't worry about if I know the canon or not; feel free to use literally anything to fill these! Do not worry about spoilers. Please do tell me what canon things come from, if you can!
- I have a mildly excessive fondness for Bai Yu wearing glasses and would enjoy seeing a collection of images (either gifs or stills) of him/his characters wearing glasses.
- Zhu Yilong fighting! I love the way Zhu Yilong moves during fight sequences! I would like to see gifs/clips/etc. of Zhu Yilong doing cool combat things in acting roles (behind the scenes or in canon). Or, like, if anything exists of Zhu Yilong doing martial arts outside of acting contexts, I would adore that too!

Characters: Chu Shuzhi, Shen Wei
Additional Tags: 2nd Person, Chu Shuzhi PoV, aftermath of torture, injury recovery, tending to injuries, loyalty, character study

A/N:
疾风知劲草，板荡识诚臣。《赐萧蠫》
jí fēng zhī jìn cǎo，bǎn dàng shí chéng chén。《cì xiāo lí》
"The strength of a blade of grass is seen only in tempests; the loyalty of an official is seen only in times of turbulence." (source)
I thought this proverb perfectly characterized Chu Shuzhi & Shen Wei's fealty relationship, hence the title :) I hope you like it!

Re: Chengbi fights
I haven't yet seen Shaw Eleven Lang! This is because I haven't been able to find a version with engsubs. xD
(longer comment on the ao3 post/version!)
Re: Chengbi fights
Arrrrrrrgh, why has Shaw Eleven Lang become impossible to find with English subs?! I watched it on Amazon Prime last year (under the title "Treasure Raiders") but it's no longer available from them. YouTube used to have a set with English subtitles (the same subtitles that Amazon had) but those have disappeared, too. And one channel annoyingly claims to have English subs but it doesn't. It's such a shame! I hope that someone, somewhere, will put it up again.
Re: Chengbi fights
I also hope that someone puts it up again at some point! :)

The Chu Shuzhi Touchy Touchy List
no subject
It even has timestamps!
(I like the "nothing, alas" notes on episodes that don't have anything... it is indeed very sad...)
I really love the contrast here:
24:22 Chu-ge chokes the Regent
24:36 Unfortunately, ZYL stops Chu-ge from choking the Regent by shoving him away
It is indeed unfortunate!
Thank you so much for all this work! :D It's delightful!
