May. 25th, 2019 10:39 pmAs mentioned, this was my fic for the 520 Day Guardian Exchange:
Not All Those Who Wander (23,476 words) by Xparrot
Fandom: 镇魂 | Guardian (TV), 镇魂 | Guardian - priest
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Shěn Wēi/Zhào Yúnlán, Kūn Lún/Shěn Wēi
Characters: Kūn Lún, Zhào Yúnlán, Shěn Wēi, Dà Qìng
Additional Tags: canon AU, Drama, Angst, epic fantasy, or else scifi?, Old Haixing Era, Post-Apocalypse, Show-Book Fusion, Fix-It of Sorts
Summary:
(While a drama-novel fusion, it's specifically an AU of the drama and should make sense even if you haven't read the novel.)
I wrote this fic in a week and a half, and it devoured my life for that time. Have you ever had a story that feels less like you're inventing it, and more like it exists already and you're just serving as the transcriber, the vessel that it's poured through to come into being? Yeah, one of those. I'm pleased it exists and excited about it like it's not really mine at all; it surprised me as much as it could any reader as it developed. And there were some things that didn't make it into the story, due to the limitations of the POV. So these are the DVD extras, for my own fun, and for anyone curious.
( Spoilers for the fic (and a few for the drama and novel) )
So that's the story. And thank you so much, everyone who's taken to time to read it, and kudos'ed or left a comment; after living with one foot in this fic's world, I can't tell you have happy I am to have company. It means everything to me to know anyone's enjoyed it!

Summary:
The god Kunlun is as old as the mountain range that bears his name, if not older. Or so the villagers say. He was here before any people were, as eternal as the mountains — moreso, in truth. The mountains might change, but Kunlun remains Kunlun.
