Sunday Snippet, et. al.

Guardian/adjacent:
Fanart: more from the artist who draws the ears (I love them). ZYL and DQ napping in cat form. Kisses with long-haired SW. That sliver of belly. Sleepy ZYL. So soft. Bed Head Shen Wei. Shen Wei with morning coffee. Domestic life with cityscape.
How is Zhu Yilong so fucking beautiful? Is this him doing push-ups? The gifs aren't high enough quality for me to tell with any assurance)

DW tips from undeadrobins and naye. 

Twitter tips from a capslocky stranger.

I haven't written anything from Deconstruction this week that isn't terribly spoilery, so have the first paragraph from my (first!) Zhubai fic, based on Table One of this thing. For visuals, this Bai Yu and this Zhu Yilong. I'm titling it Table One.

Bai Yu was so busy appreciating the perfection of the ass in front of him he didn’t notice the conversation its owner was having with the hotel desk clerk. The perfect slope of it curved up into a strong, lean waist, both body parts regretfully covered in some very expensive looking duds. Bai Yu shifted in his now shabby-feeling jeans. Too bad his evening was already booked. But it wasn’t like he’d have much chance with anyone who dressed like that, anyway, even if he did swing the right way. Which, face it, wasn’t likely. Not without divine intervention. As if on cue, Bai Yu’s brain began to register the exchange happening in front of him. The man’s voice was low and calm, but a thread of tension wove through it.

“I know I reserved a room for myself,” he said. Even his voice was gorgeous. Of course. Low and rich. Everything about this guy was rich. “I reserved the wedding party’s entire room block. Is there no other way to check? Perhaps a credit card record?”

Bed Head Shen Wei.

Oooh, I think this one's my favourite!

Thank you so much for the links - they always make my day better. :D

[clevermanka]

Yay! You're welcome!

[undeadrobins]

Oooh. I'm very much looking forward to this Zhubai fic! And yay to both of us for actually writing!

*raises glass*

[yantantether]

Oh no, is the hotel overbooked? Are they going to have to share? That would be TERRIBLE for them 🙏

I *love* Bai Yu appreciating ZYL's ass!

[clevermanka]

It is overbooked, Yan! It's terrible! WHAT WILL THEY DO?

[yantantether]

I love your brain 😍

gdi that fucking loreal ad is like porn

ooh! you have intrigued me re: zhubai fic :D

I finally finished Guardian, I spoiled myself enough not to be upset (though I was not thrilled either). I really love the characters and I wish I could still easily write the way I used to so I could write at least one fixit fic to my satisfaction :D

[clevermanka]

Yeah, that ad is great.

Congratulations on finishing! I wish you could write a fic, toooooooooo.

Oh, very nice. ^_-

I haven't seen these two pushup clips before, but I've seen others where it was clear enough that it was him - he can do a lot of pushups. (Are we surprised?)

Your story snippet is amazing! I especially like "its owner" and "everything about this guy is rich". :DD \o/ Looking forward to it! *shakes pompoms*

[clevermanka]

Not at all surprised he does them, just surprised he'd do them on the red carpet!
