Guardian: FanFic: Lost

  • Feb. 13th, 2020 at 11:02 AM
Title: Lost
Fandom: Guardian
Pairing: Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan
Rating: G
Length: 100 words
Genre: angst, pining
Summary: How walls crumble
Notes: For the prompt "Crush". My first attempt at Guradian fic. I'm only five episodes into the show but I'm already hooked and completely smitten with Shen Wei.

Distant and disinterested.

Controlled and emotionless.

These are the standards you hold yourself to, the necessary traits to do your job, to be the Black Robe Envoy.

Then he walks into your life and you can’t control the way he makes you feel. You can’t halt the emotions he stirs inside of you. You can’t stay distant, you can’t quell your interest.

You’re falling too far, too fast, too sudden, too soon.

Zhao Yunlan broke through your carefully maintained barriers in an instant, with a look. With that smile, that voice.

Memories mix with the present and you are lost.

I love the drabble, it hurts in the best way, but I have to admit I'm distracted by your icon. My pantom thief sons, so pretty. *_* I don't see a lot of toku over here so it's attention grabbing when I do. >.>

Thank you!

Happy to distract with Sentai! (I'm not done with Lupin vs. Pat yet but I love it and may write some Kaiiri/Keiichiro for future prompts...or even for this one if I get back to watching soon)

DO EET. Tbf, I haven't finished Lupat either, I got partway in and then distracted by something else, but I do love me some KaiKei. XD

Illya~ 100% best Illya Kuryakin, sorry 2015 version. >.>

For me, I tend to swing between hyperfixated on a show - see also: Guardian and The Mystic Nine currently - and other times I can't stick with anything because something else is more shiny.

(I didn't like the 2015 movie >.>)

Same really. I'll start something and be hyperfixated for awhile and then jump to something else. It can be really frustrating with longer shows (for instance I just started Guardian and 40 episodes is Intimidating with my attention span)

Yeah, it was Disappointing. :(

*laughs* Sentai/KR tend to be about 50 though. Then again, half an hour vs an hour makes a lot of difference. XD I have so many cdramas I want to watch but a) I tend to watch while knitting/crocheting and if I really enjoy it I know I'll be stopping to screencap everything and never get anything done; b) I'm holding The Mystic Nine very close to my heart right now and I'm not ready to move on from it yet, not even for things that have some of the same cast in them, and c) they tend to be approx 50 eps long and that can be a looooot.

True, hour vs half hour is very different. But I mean. I've been working on Agito for like three years now, lol. Same with Kuuga but that's mainly cuz the fansub site I was using didn't sub all of it !!!!

I wish I could watch while I crochet but I can't read the subs while I crochet :(

Tell me more about the Mystic Nine???

Ahhh, the curse of the Kuuga subs strikes again I see. *laughs* I think someone did manage to do it all the way through, but I can't for the life of me remember who. And Agito is... Agito is weird, and was a bit of a slog for me to get through but the suit is really pretty. >.>

Yeah, I had to train myself to do it. I worked on learning how to knit without looking at what I was doing - mastered for stockinette in the round, not so much anything else, useful for knit'n'natters where you can kep up with conversations easier - but once I had that down it was easier to keep flicking between them, as long as the subs are timed well and don't move too fast. XD

Oh, TMN. <3 I picked it up because Zhu Yilong was cast in Lost Tomb 3 and this is a prequel of sorts, set in the 1930s in the lead up to the outbreak of WW2/the Sino-Japanese war. There's some tomb raiding (in the name of the motherland because these are our heroes, after all), some political shenanigans, Intense Brotherhood and BFFs 4 LYFE. It has its flaws: it loses its pacing - which I guess is typical given its length - and a couple of storylines draaaaagged, but I got one diehard otp out of it* and another I quite enjoyed and those got me through the draggy bits. Also, the costume porn. So. Much. Costume. Porn.

*fun fact, while I started off enjoying it I was like 'ehn, it's good but not Weilan levels of consuming my heart' and yet now here I am. Drowning in otp feels and populating the AO3 English language tag for it because no-one else is providing the content for me. XD

I want to love Agito cuz it's shippy AF but it's definitely tough to get through sometimes. Kuuga is such a ridiculous mess I love it so much xD I'm HOPING once Shout realizes bringing Sentai over has been A Good Idea they'll start releasing Kamen Rider DVDs, too... Fingers crossed.

I can crochet some stuff without looking but most of the time I like to be able go glance down...I'm working on a scarf right now that I could probably do while watching subbed shows.

OOooh I'm definitely intrigued and may check it out!! (I do love good costume porn)

Gobliiiin. I never finished that either, but I did enjoy those two.

Yeah, Agito is. Like that. It's not as much of a hot mess as others (looking at you Ex-Aid) but it's definitely a head-scratcher. And yes, here's hoping. XD

I'm working on c2c blanket right now that I've picked back up and I'd forgotten how quick and addicting it is. Still, it's going to be getting difficult to maneouvre soon, alas.

If you're curious I have a tumblr tag for it here: though keep in mind spoilers abound.

(It's so good!!!)

I like Agito mostly but sometimes I'm like "this is dragging so badly..." (lol I LOVE EX AID!! My bro thinks I'm nuts but that is one fun hot mess)

OOOH C2C is so much fun! It's my favorite way to make blankets - particularly baby blankets. I found a chart for a pac-man one a couple years ago, it's glorious.

I may check that out :D Thank you!!

(I got annoyed with Goblin dude constantly going back and forth on whether he was pushing the girl away or not on any given day, but I did love how he and the Reaper went from barely tolerating each other to supporting each other.)

*laughs* I peaced out of Ex-Aid when they pulled that BS with Kiriya, but it was definitely a wild ride. Then again, the most recent KR show I actually finished was Ghost, so it's been a while since I saw something all the way through. (Fun fact, the last sentai I watched as it aired was Kyoryu, but I did marathon Ninnin and Kyu after they'd finished. And I marathoned Ultraman RB but I haven't seen any Taiga yet. Cdramas have taken over my fannish life, toku doesn't have much of a way in atm)

Heh, I'm currently headdesking over the difference in terminology between the US and the UK. In looking up how big I need my blanket to be, I discover that in the US a single bed is called a twin and my brain was all 'does not compute. why name a one person bed something that imples two people????' *facepalms* But yes, I'm enjoying it. I just ran out of my first cake and I'm definitely going to need the other two if I want my blanket to be big enough.

You're welcome! I hope it entertains you, if nothing else. XD

(That was definitely frustrating. I think the fact that I massively shipped Goblin/Reaper helped keep me sane. Like. Okay so you can't decide if you want the girl or not, have you considered this other immortal being???)

That's fair. Kiriya is my favorite character in Ex Aid so I DEFINITELY get that but also consider: Emu literally rides his power bottom into battle. I loved Ghost! I'm partway through Build (got distracted). Sentai I think the most recent one I finished was Kyuranger (which was a fucking slog and I kind of wish I'd just given up). I own and have watched all of: Zyuranger, Dairanger, Kakuranger, Ohranger, and Carranger and my bro and I are partway through Megaranger. I'm not sure what else I've watched off the top of my head.

ohhh I understand! I have the opposite problem. One time I was going to make something and the pattern said "DC into magic ring" and I was like "I don't hate myself that much..." and then I remembered the pattern was UK terms and Double Crochet in UK = Single Crochet in US.

Wait...what do you call a single bed???

(Right???)

ikr? XD That was the best of Ex-Aid and then they Did That. I started Build, found Sento and Ryuuga very shippy and... got distracted. I forget by what. >.>

I didn't mind Kyu, but it was definitely a trip watching the Kyu vs Lupat and seeing my tiny son Kotaro being so much older even in such a short amount of time. He grew up so much! There may have been some cooing over it. >.> I've seen most sentai between, hm, Zyuranger and Kyoryu, with the odd gap in between. (I still haven't seen Mega, even though I keep reminding myself to watch it eventually. Or Ohranger, which, likewise). I think the sentai of my heart is Gaoranger, though. It combined everything I loved and hit me in my id something fierce.

Heh, yeah, it was confusing when I started learning because UK and US terms are so different. There's not much difference between knitting terms but crochet ones are just totally different.

A single bed! Because they're meant for a single person. I always assumed a twin bed was what we call a double: one meant for two people. And then I found out it was a single and immediately felt like my entire media consumption to date had Lied To Me. XD

I don't even get why US and UK crochet terms are so different??? Like. It's weird to me.

Okay I guess that's fair... I wonder if we call them twin because they're supposed to be like... in pairs? And we just. Divorced the term from the meaning so much that now it just means single in general? I've never actually looked into the etymology.
