Now that author reveals happened, I can finally share the fic I wrote for the lovely trobadora :D!

Title: Two Of A Kind
Fandom: Guardian (drama)
Ship: Ya Qing/Zhu Hong
Words: 12.9k
Tags: time travel fix-it, Ya Qing PoV, Yashou politics & worldbuilding, Antagonist!Ye Zun, BAMF!Ya Qing
Summary: Zhu Hong approaches Ya Qing with a warning from the future. Ya Qing is... intrigued despite herself.

"And what would you have me do instead? Nothing, like your uncle, like the Flower tribe? Just wait while the humans take more and more, wait until there's nothing left for us?"

Zhu Hong stared back calmly. Surprisingly confident. "I would speak to Heipaoshi-daren on our behalf."

Ya Qing's feathers flared in shock before she could catch herself.

I managed to treat Trobadora with a short lil epilogue/coda just before reveals, too! It's in chapter 2 :D

I actually guessed correctly that my gift was by the amazing ThebanSecretBand (one of the two people gifting me Guardian memes last Wishlist!)

Title: Honey, you're familiar
Fandom: Nirvana in Fire
Ship: Mei Changsu/Mu Nihuang/Xiao Jingyan

Summary:

And in they walk: Jingrui with his city manner and his Jianghu style, Yujin with his refined clothes and his broad-faced grin. And behind them walks Lin Shu-gege.

Nihuang blinks. The man is at once unrecognisable and evident. There is nothing about Lin Shu-gege in his face, in his gait, in his height, and yet Nihuang knows him. Deep in her soul, she knows him. The boy she played with, the teenager she flirted with, the man she loved. He could not be Lin Shu-gege, because he was nothing like him and Lin Shu-gege was dead. He could not be anyone else.

*

“Who are you?” he demands.

And then xiao-Shu stands up and looks him in the eyes.

It is nothing. A trick of the light. Jingyan has run into xiao-Shu in the face of strangers hundreds of times. He’s been a ghost turning a corner, just out of reach.

And yet… And yet. Those ghosts who had not been xiao-Shu had had a familiar angle to their jawline. A familiar curve to their nose. A familiar joy in their smile.

This man has none of these. He simply is.

Sadly, I didn't have much time to read through the collection - I still have several fics open in tabs I didn't get to - but I can certainly recommend this handful of fics:

• Blackmail Is An Ugly Word, a Naruto, Team 7 time travel fic that is hilarious. It definitely doesn't take itself to serious in the best ways!


• The Friend Trap, an Untamed fic which was incidently written for ThebanSecretBand, by nirejseki. It's an Unpowered, Historical AU in which Nie Huaisang tricks Jin Guangyao and Nie Mingjue into working together to mend the rift between them after Events (TM). Incredible worldbuilding and good characterisation!


• Both The Witcher fics were pretty decent, both dealing with the aftermath of the Mountain Break-Up.
  but if I'm moving a mountain has Yennefer and Jaskier hooking up to make Geralt jealous, only to somehow end up in an OT3 with him


• and One Blessing by nununununu has some-being overhear Geralt and dropping Jaskier into a new little adventure (and Geralt jumping in immediately to rescue him)
