Perhaps some fic ideas
23 Feb 2019 23:52I posted Episode 1 of the Guardian rewatchalong yesterday! Engagement has happened. I'm also participating in the associated icon battle, for which I have made icons for the first 6 episodes already, yay! (I'm doing much more heavily edited icons-as-art icons where it's clear some editing has happened, instead of my usual icons-as-screenshot icons where the aim is to seem as if it's a screenshot, even if I have had to edit out the Youku logo, a few distracting windows, and do some truly bizarre shit to the background to make it less attention-grabbing. Also making a few more traditionally ExtraPenguin icons along the way, like this post's one.)
Flu status: recovering. Should be OK on Monday. Today, I ate half a liter of ice-cream completely spontaneously.
Writing-wise, my Modao Zushi WIP (first ~500 words shared here) now clocks at a whopping 19.3k of continuous words, according to gedit's word counter! (AO3 would put it at at least 17k, I suppose.) The outline has 14 scenes more, which will be perhaps 1k each, and I'll have to edit one bit of already-written scene pretty extensively (translation updated, contradicted me) and either add a scene there also or change another few scenes to make the information release to payoff distance more satisfying. Blarp. At least I have an initial quote and an endquote with which to bookend the fic, even if I don't know which way around they should go...
Space Swap fic will happen next weekend, when I have enough brain to come up with a plot. Recip prompted for something pretty similar to the initial idea I had when I saw the matching e-mail, and has a nice set of likes, so it should be easy enough to come up with something appealing.
After my assignment and my eternity project (I started the WIP last autumn, though took a 4-month break during it), I'll write some Guardian! Perhaps a shorter thing before I write a Guardian longfic thing. Anyway, here's a random assortment of ideas:
Porn
Present-day scene in which Zhao Yunlan encounters Shen Wei's nonhuman dick, gives a blowjob. Time travel scene in which bb Shen Wei encounters Zhao Yunlan's unexpectedly human dick, freaks out.
Alternative identity reveal
Zhao Yunlan manages to have a one-night stand with Shen Wei. Later in the week, he manages to get in position to give the Black-Cloaked Envoy a blowjob ... and when he gets his hands on the Envoy's backside, he says, "Why, Professor Shen, I'd recognize that ass anywhere."
Crack
In addition to the Hallows, there is another way to get out of the Pillar: fucking (accepting the essence?) of the Lord of the Guardians. Cue lots of arguments between Zhao Yunlan's parents over WTF that glowy spirit dude is doing at the table, he's a bad influence on Yunlan, maybe you should retire then, Xinci, if it's part of the job, etc. When Zhao Yunlan succeeds the iguanafied interim chief, he now has to deal with his sex life stalling out due to being shadowed by a whiny Ye Zun.
More crack
Shen Wei discovers a list of things Zhao Yunlan is into that Zhu Hong made. He filches it, because Kunlun deserves only the best sex. Zhao Yunlan has to explain that all those things, he only said to get the rest of his dad's subordinates out, please take that iguana costume off now.
Vaccinate your children
Because vaccines didn't exist 10k years ago, Ye Zun catches measles (or something else that can get him hospitalized in a coma but which the humans are immune to) when he comes out of his pillar. Zhao Yunlan takes him to hospital, discovers that he's Shen Wei's twin brother, organizes a vaccination regimen for the SID's Dixingians, and holds vigil at Ye Zun's bedside on Shen Wei's behalf. Then they manage to convince the Regent to hold a vaccination programme in Dixing, since they've had to tell several doctors more about its existence, and they support Dixing having hospitals as well. Eventually, Ye Zun recovers, after some months of being wan and exhausted.
