Guardian novel readalong.


Hi, and welcome to this week's installment of the Guardian novel readalong!

Here are last week's chapters, and you can find all previous discussions in the schedule posts (part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4), or via the !readalong tag.

This week's chapters:

Chapter 13: Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan untangle the truth about the past. Zhao Yunlan recaps the whole saga back to Shen Wei to verify his understanding. Shen Wei recounts his promise to guard the Seal and stay away from Kunlun, and he confesses that he orchestrated all the visions and other events (including Zhao Yunlan seeing him drawing his heart blood) so that Zhao Yunlan would stay with him and they could die (ie, cease to exist) together. Back at the flat, they start making out, then stop to talk about the blood-drinking. They decide to live together like mortals for the next few decades.
Chapter 14: Guo Changcheng and Chu Shuzhi stake out a motorway off-ramp in the freezing cold and search a number of buses to look for a ghost's missing daughter. Chu Shuzhi calls Daqing to ask about Guo Changcheng's flame-coloured merits. Chu Shuzhi slaps a talisman on Changcheng to check he's human. Changcheng finds the missing girl, and Chu Shuzhi arrests the kidnapper.

The corresponding chapters in the Chinese version on JJWXC and the fan translation are chapters 92 to 94.

Excerpts:

1) Primordial Wei looked for Kunlun before they met )

2) Wei's deal with Shennong )

3) Negotiating the blood drinking )

4) Chu Shuzhi and Daqing on the phone )

5) Changcheng takes being 'killed' surprisingly calmly )

Questions:

Do you understand the primordial past backstory now? Who comes off worst in this real version of events? How do you feel about Shen Wei going to these lengths to deceive Zhao Yunlan and guilt-trip him into staying with him? What does it mean that Zhao Yunlan called Shen Wei his husband, rather than wife? Would you prefer to be on a stakeout with Guo Changcheng or Chu Shuzhi? Do you have any thoughts about how moments in these chapters affected or were remixed in the drama adaptation?

(As usual, these are all just conversation starters - feel free to answer all, some, or none, and to say as much or as little as you like! You don't have to be keeping up with the readalong!)

Our schedule for this round -- please sign up to host a post if you can!

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan
Characters: Shen Wei (Guardian), Zhao Yunlan
Additional Tags: Ye Olde Haixing Era, Hurt/Comfort, sex as comfort, Hand Jobs, Post-Battle, Tenderness, Established Relationship
Summary: Even after the frantic, desperate healing, when their skin is unmarred once again, Shen Wei can't shake off the feeling that the pain is not gone, hidden somewhere underneath. He faintly realizes that it's not located where his own wounds used to be — the sword went straight through the right side of Kunlun's chest. Shen Wei can feel the searing burn of it regardless.

Kissing It Better (1920 words) by facethestrange
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: 镇魂 | Guardian (TV 2018) RPF, Chinese Actor RPF
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Bai Yu/Zhu Yilong
Characters: Bai Yu (Actor), Zhu Yilong
Additional Tags: Porn with Feelings, Plot What Plot/Porn Without Plot, Tenderness, Bruises, (the bruises are not caused by the sex), (they're important but they're only there to be kissed gently), First Time, Blow Jobs, Hand Jobs, Come Eating, Gentle Kissing, Love Confessions
Summary: Bai Yu presses a quick kiss just under the bruise, hoping it's just as unremarkable and meaningless as all of their easy intimacy has always been, and he laughs, bright and overcompensating. He makes sure to grin, eyes sparkling in his best carefree impression, in an attempt to make Long-ge laugh together with him.

Just another memory for Long-ge to shake his head about, for Bai Yu to treasure forever. He needs many of those, for later.

Title: Whatever It Takes to Bring You Back (5691 words) [Teen and Up]
Fandom: 镇魂 | Guardian (TV 2018)
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan
Characters: Shen Wei, Zhao Yunlan, Wu Tian'en, Ding Dun
Additional Tags: Whump, Pain, Loss of Agency, Episode Related, episode 17, Zhao Yunlan's first trip to Dixing does not end well, Until it does, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Hurt!Zhao Yunlan, hurt!Shen Wei, Get Together, First Kiss (for one of them)

Summary:

“Shen Wei! You’re here—” Zhao Yunlan was sobbing. Then he screamed again, curling in on himself and clutching his forearm. “Fuck, this hurts! Get it—this—get it out of me! Help, Shen Wei—”

Something was very wrong. Even if he were terribly injured, Zhao Yunlan wouldn’t permit panic into his voice. He would make jokes, not scream for help. How much agony must he be in, to have broken like this?


(Btw, in the course of writing this fic, I realised that the weapon that Ding Dun attacks Zhao Yunlan with is a medical syringe gun. I'd always assumed it was scissors or something.)

Guardian Readalong Banner

Welcome to this week’s readalong post!

To get caught up, you can read last week’s installment, or check out part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, and part 5 (or the !readalong tag) for the rest of the posts for this round.

  • Chapter 11 Summary: Zhao Yunlan throws Record of Ancient Secrets into the Wangchuan River. He is not fined for littering but considers the consequences of the book’s disappearance and decides to buy it again while in the past. He leaves the book in his old bedroom, narrowly avoiding being caught by his mother. Zhao Yunlan tracks down Shennong to question him, only to have Shen Wei show up before Zhao Yunlan can get the answers he’s looking for. Shen Wei returns the two of them to Zhao Yunlan’s home in the present where they talk, with Zhao Yunlan explaining how he figured out that Shen Wei had planted false memories in the Great Divine Tree. Zhao Yunlan both pushes and reassures Shen Wei, who agrees to tell him the truth.
  • Chapter 12 Summary: A discussion is taking place at SID headquarters about what Zhao Yunlan might be up to. Daqing realizes that Zhao Yunlan was involved in danger he was trying to shield the rest of the SID staff from and sends Wang Zheng and Sangzan to Zhao Yunlan’s home to look for him, but neither he nor Shen Wei are they were then arrive. Guo Changcheng receives a call from a ghost asking for help finding her daughter. Shen Wei takes Zhao Yunlan to witness the birth of the gui along with when Kunlun first discovered them.

The corresponding chapters in the Chinese version on JJWXC/the fan translation are 89, 90, and 91.

Excerpts:

 

Zhao Yunlan Inspects His Old Room )

 

Shen Wei Exercises Restraint )

  

Zhao Yunlan Is The Best )

  

Boss Daqing Has A Moment )

  

Guo Changcheng Makes A Promise; Chu Shuzhi Is Surprised )

  

Questions: What are your thoughts on teenage Zhao Yunlan from the clues we get in Chapter 11? How do you feel about the way Guo Changcheng’s ability to talk to the dead here compares with the drama? What stood out to you the most with Zhao Yunlan gradually learning the truth in these chapters? If you worked at the SID, would you rather have Zhao Yunlan in the office or Daqing stepping in as deputy director on days you went in?  What do you think of Shen Wei’s approach to underwater breathing?

Feel free to answer as many or as few questions as you’d like. You’re also welcome to discuss anything else that resonates with you from these chapters.

If you’re interested in hosting an upcoming week, you can find available dates and sign up by visiting the new schedule.
