Rewatch Post Delayed + Call for Fanwork Recs

[shadaras]

Last week I said I'd probably post ep29's rewatch post on new year's eve/today, absolutely forgetting that I was getting the covid booster on Tuesday and therefore really should've expected to not have the brain for tasks that take, like, executive functioning. xD I'm fine, I didn't have any particularly bad effects beyond brainfog, but didn't get that done.

So, look forward to the next rewatch post and crying about Han Ying next week. :)

As the calendar turns, though, I'm curious about what some of your favorite SHL/TYK (and related fandoms!) fanworks are! Link them in comments here, or make posts on the comm itself, and let's enjoy the turn of the calendar with some excellent fanworks! :D

Two middle-length fics I enjoyed a lot:

it's not the breaking (7327 words) by Shadaras
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Wen Kexing/Zhou Zishu
Characters: Zhou Zishu, Wen Kexing
Additional Tags: Siji Manor Arc, Sub Zhou Zishu, Dom Wen Kexing, Dom/sub, Non-Sexual Kink, Unnegotiated Kink, Makeshift Gag, Light Bondage, Impact Play, A bit of bloodplay, Praise Kink, Crying, Childhood Memories, whatever the opposite of shixiongdi kink is
Summary: Absently, mind on the work he’s doing, Zhou Zishu says, “Shidi, can you—”
His mouth snaps shut on the request, but it’s already too late.
Wen Kexing turns to him and says, “I’m sick of this.” His tone is almost cheerful. There’s still more malice laced through Wen Kexing’s mouth than Zhou Zishu can remember hearing directed towards him before.
It shivers across his body, and Zhou Zishu closes his eyes briefly before carefully setting down the wall-hanging he’d wanted help replacing. “What do you want to do about it?” Zhou Zishu asks, shifting his weight to prepare for the attack he suspects is coming.
Wen Kexing plays with his fan, silently considering him, and then a smile spreads across his face. “I’m going to make you forget that word.”
