Fandom: Guardian (TV)
Rating: T-rated
Length: 1176 words
Notes: A million thanks tomergatrude and teaotter for beta. <3 <3 <3
Tags: Chu Shuzhi/Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan, Zhao Yunlan & Da Qing, Shen Wei & Ye Zun. Post-Canon, Anger, Effects of Past Trauma, Complicated Relationships, Poly Relationships, Shen Wei misses his didi, Zhao Yunlan hates Ye Zun, Zhao Yunlan is triggered, Loyalties, Friendship, Clothes Sharing, Unreliable Narration.
Warning: This is set in a post-canon ‘verse where the canon events happened except that Da Qing took Zhao Yunlan’s place in the Lantern. Three difficult years later, Shen Wei and Da Qing came back. So Zhao Yunlan still has a lot of issues. This fic deals with intense feelings that aren't easily resolved.
Summary: Feel the anger and do it anyway.

Fandom: Star Trek: Voyager
Rating: G
Length: 275 words
Content notes: missing scene, implied food poisoning from Neelix’s coffee substitute, early in canon and developing friendship
Author notes: Missing scene from The Cloud, takes place shortly after Neelix tries to give Kathryn the “even better than coffee substitute” and I borrowed two lines from the ep but everything else is mines. If you spot a wild goof give me a prod and I’ll try to fix it, the dyslexia is kicking my arse at the moment.
Summary: Kathryn looked at him, realising he was referring to the three days earlier in the month when he insisted he couldn’t leave his quarters and wouldn’t tell anyone the reason for it. “You tried it? What happened?”

Review of I Am Average and Unremarkable, Yue Xia Die Ying
Jun. 10th, 2025 07:09larryhammer posting in cnovelsI reviewed I Am Average and Unremarkable by Yue Xia Die Ying in my journal. TLDR: A heroine-centered xianxia that's great fun to read even with its strong engagement with moral questions.

Relationship: Frenchie/Izzy Hands
Medium: Gifset
Length: 3 gifs
Rating: SFW
My Bookmark Tags: romance, happy ending, getting together, constructed reality, au: modern, domesticity, nature
Description:
I am such a sucker for constructed reality graphics and vids, and all the ways a little tactical harnessing of the Kuleshov effect can bring us the crossovers, AUs, and visual adaptations we crave. I've got a few from this same creator to rec, but I'm starting with this Neighbor AU that imagines a modern day Frenchie and Izzy living next door to each other in the country and catching each other's eye.
First off, I just love how it's put together, from the progression of running into each other by chance, then scoping out each other from their houses, to finally coming together for tea. But I also love how the choice of sources colours the story being told here. I'm pretty sure the Con O'Neill clips are from Vengeance Is Mine and the Joel Fry ones are from In the Earth. These are both harrowing movies where the actual characters are going through some awful things. I appreciate how those scenes get recontextualized here into something cozier that nonetheless paints a picture of both characters having gone through some rough times.
You can easily imagine that this modern Frenchie has just as many terrible things locked up in that little box in his head as his 18th century counterpart had, and that this Izzy has just been through an emotionally and/or physically traumatic breakup with Ed, and now here they are, a little bruised and cautious but finding some potential comfort and love in their own backyard.

In the first gif, Izzy wanders out into a field and happens upon Frenchie, who's sitting alone and obviously having a bad time alone with his thoughts. In the second, the two men are each in their houses, looking out the window at each other's places. In the third, they've finally come together, Frenchie handing a wary Izzy a cup of tea.

Subbed: Silent Reading audio drama x Macbeth
Jun. 9th, 2025 20:32halfcactus posting in cnovelsA second audio drama update to commemorate a milestone: Fei Du (Yang Tianxiang) and Luo Wenzhou (Liu Cong) read out passages from Macbeth. (Fei Du's VA sounds like he might have a cold in this recording...)
Original post:
https://www.missevan.com/sound/player?id=11069730
Subtitled audio:
If subtitles don't appear automatically, please tap the CC button to display them.
Orange subtitles = Luo Wenzhou
Purple subtitles = Fei Du
Notes:
The second "excerpt" they read out is "语言是有魔力的，你说出了它，它就会缠绕着你". Thank you so much tollonkrebboj for going through CN and EN versions of the text to confirm that this is not a real quote. ^^; There were a few web sources that claimed (confidently but wrongly) that this was a line from Macbeth, which was mystifying and kind of funny.
