Canon: Guardian RPF
Type: Fanfic
Category: M/M
Length/Size: 10136 words
Characters/Ships: Bai Yu/Zhu Yilong
Rating: Mature
Warnings: No warnings apply
Themes: Getting together, Romance, Dreams, Realistic setting, Non-consensual kissing, Consensual kissing, Sexual identity crisis, Angst, Happy ending
Author's summary: They're on the third take, the last camera angle. Everything's been going smoothly today for a change. Bai Yu has just asked with his most salacious expression yet, "Shouldn't you repay me?" when one of the girls on the film crew shouts, "Kiss him!"
This fic starts with a non-con kiss and through lots and lots of angst eventually leads to a happy ending.
Why I'm Reccing This: This is a wonderfully written and sympathetically observed story from Bai Yu's POV where Bai Yu and Zhu Yilong get together while filming Guardian. Bai Yu's impulsive personality runs up against Zhu Yilong's rigid control, and Bai Yu devotes himself to making things right between them. But this is not a typical misunderstandings story, which is why it appeals to me so much. (Plus I have a weakness for stories about dreams.) It's got layers, and is more about what Bai Yu does and doesn't realize about himself as much as it is about the attraction between them. The final chapter is sweet and sincere, and the Zhu Yilong in it is excellent: an active party in the relationship, making it a two-way street, and not merely an object of desire. This is not a new story--in fact, it could qualify for the next Wayback Wednesday (April 29)--but it's so good it's worth a re-read or, for ZhuBai newcomers, it's a delightful treat all ready and waiting for you.
