Today's challenge is reccing fanworks! It's time to share stuff! Let's start with four recs for Guardian (TV) stories:
Back to the Middle (series) by [personal profile] china_shop. This is a series of wonderful time travel fixit fics, and it engages with the concept of time travel in character-typical ways. (Each installment has a different POV character.) The standouts to me are Lin Jing's and Ye Zun's installments, though all of them are excellent takes.

The Dixing-Haixing Cultural Exchange Program (series) by [archiveofourown.org profile] draconicsockpuppet. This is a cool Space Opera AU of Guardian, with nice kabooms, a fast-paced action plot, and very hot porn. (See installment #3.)

Flesh from Bone, Soul from Flesh by [personal profile] ratbones. This is an amazing canonverse casefic that went appropriately dark and visceral.

Unrealistic Expectations by Anonymous. This is hot porn with excellent characterization.

One reference:
Liang primer by [archiveofourown.org profile] ofsevenseas. This is a primer for stuff relevant to the setting of Nirvana in Fire, but some parts will no doubt be useful to anyone else writing fic for things set in ancient China.

And some odds and ends:
Madame by [archiveofourown.org profile] Mooselk. This is an excellent character study of Yu Ziyuan as she is in the book. (IDK how it'll land on people who are drama- or donghua-based; both of them seem to have made her meaner.)

Control by [personal profile] garrideb. This is a damn good fanvid for the comic Monstress.
