Pinch Hit #3: Art, Fic - 镇魂 | Guardian (TV 2018), 镇魂 | Guardian - priest, The Walking Dead (TV), Bunny - Mona Awad, Yellowjackets (TV)
Request 1 by facethestrange
镇魂 | Guardian (TV 2018)
Shěn Wēi/Yè Zūn/Zhào Yúnlán (Guardian TV), Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan & Ye Zun (Guardian TV), Medium: Fanfiction, Angst With Gore, Graphic Torture, Horror With Gore

Extra treats are always welcome! :)

(Optional details are different between requests. DNWs from other requests can and should be totally ignored.)

I feel like adding any list of likes (general or shippy or smutty) to this request somehow makes it more confusing instead of more clear, so I'll just keep the list of DNWs and do some rambling, and excitedly leave everything else up to you. :D

Basically, the canon torture scene but neither Shen Wei nor Zhao Yunlan die at the end? Or in some other scenario just let tiny-ponytail-Ye-Zun do whatever? He's so totally welcome to do whatever. (Other than DNWs, that is.) Any Ye Zun is good, but damn, the tiny ponytail is my favorite look by far.

Explicit smut is welcome, no smut at all is welcome, ambiguous suggestiveness is welcome. Weilan softness and tenderness is super welcome. Happy or hopeful ending for Weilan would be wonderful. Happy/hopeful ending for Ye Zun is as welcome as Ye Zun dying (or ignored, or anything else you want to do with him). Handwaving away world-saving plots is as welcome as focusing on them. Any kind of non-permanently-disabling violence is free game.

I don't have anything more specific in mind here, I'm going to love everything you come up with! ♡

Oh, and combining both of my Guardian (TV) requests in one gift is definitely an option if you feel like doing that!

DNW:
Ø Shen Wei or Zhao Yunlan dying (as in canon, or in any other way) or becoming permanently disabled
Ø any (positive or negative) mentions of jealousy in a romantic context (jealousy in any other context is totally okay)
Ø BDSM and other power-dynamics-related or degradation-related kinks (these themes in a general non-kink context are totally okay)
Ø straight-up violent noncon (other milder flavors of non/dubcon are totally fine for Ye Zun to do)
Ø the phrase "good boy/girl"
Ø focus on physical illness/sickness or on caretaking/caregiving: grooming, feeding, dressing another person (mentions of what Shen Wei canonically does for Zhao Yunlan are totally okay)
Ø genderswap/sexswap/different genitals than implied in canon
Ø soulmates/soulmarks/soulbonds AU
Ø setting-change AU (vaguely merging it with the novel universe is fine and definitely not a DNW, but it's not something I'm actively requesting in this case either)
Ø "issuefic"
Ø pregnancy
Ø any characters under 18
Ø violence against animals

Fandom-specific likes:
Just put them in a situation?? :D Canon or not, anything is great. (Also, the scene with Shen Wei biting his wrist? It's probably too brief to count as a prompt per se, but some what-if scenario, or something else in this vein? UM YES.)

I don't have anything more specific in mind here, I'm going to love everything you come up with! ♡

Common squicks I'm neutral about that are totally okay to include:
✓ major character death, including children
✓ cannibalism
✓ humiliation, "cringe"
✓ any creepy insects/creatures/monsters
✓ honestly, everything that is not a DNW - go wild!

Dislikes (DNW):
Ø any romance (not DNW: mentions of canon love interests whenever it's needed for the story)
Ø any mentions of BDSM, including jokes
Ø caretaking/caregiving - grooming, feeding, dressing someone else
Ø physical illness/sickness, ranging from common cold to cancer, including fictional ones (not DNW: vomiting for any other reason, such as eating disorder, stress or disgust; injuries and non-illness types of disabilities; zombification and monster transformation of any type)
Ø violating consent and freedom when the context is unambiguously wholesome/fluffy/friendly/normal - for example tickling when someone says no, "grounding" children (not DNW: any other context - abuse, horror, disturbing/creepy fluff, villains being villains, having to restrain someone dangerous, etc.)
Ø willingly and not accidentally sacrificing own life or important plans/dreams for others
Ø parents' POV on a parent-child relationship, including wishing to have children in the future and trying to conceive
Ø reconciling with abusive family members
Ø setting-change AU
Ø soulmate AU, platonic or not
Ø issuefic
Ø E rated sexual content under 18
Ø intentional torture of non-sapient animals, violent death of pets (murder, hunting, graphic accident)

Every time a DNW only lists a specific case, it automatically means that ALL other possible cases are not a DNW at all. For example:
DNW: "willingly sacrificing thing X" ---> not DNW: "unwillingly sacrificing thing X" and "willingly sacrificing thing that is not X"
DNW: "violent death of pets" ---> not DNW: "pets dying of old age" and "violent death of non-pet animals"
