Guardian Wishlist!

I love this event. <3 Haven't made my way through all the wishlists yet, but already there has been so much creativity and loveliness in what I've seen.

I received four wonderful gifts, including a Pingxie nap, Xiaoge + Xiao Bai + Wu Xie cuteness, and two ficlets engaging with, incidentally, two different Chuguo fics of mine. <3

Here's the gifts I managed to put together:

» Zhu Yilong pics for marycrawford (yes, everyone else is welcome to peruse them too!)

» Chu Shuzhi moodboard collage for awanderingcoyote (the yarn as energy strings worked better in my head, but still happy with it)

» Zhu Yilong RPF fic for forerussake (dipping my toes into the quiet 'verse ocean for the first time since February 2023)

» Parallel World fic for shadaras (never enough Jiang Zhan fix-its in the world! need more!)

I was hoping to make five things (things are so much better when they come in fives 😩), but it just didn't work out that way. Maybe next year!

Guardian and adjacent fandom recs!

The deadline for the Summer Fic Reading Challenge was today, and I did not manage a blackout, alas. But I still wanted to give a shoutout to all these fanworks, so here you go!
