Just let me lie here on the tile

lunarriviera posted: second grace: a mo sanmei/bai sanwan fic

This is such a good story, and provides Mo Sanmei (Zhu Yilong's character in his movie Lighting up the Stars) with the best boyfriend, somehow - even though he is doing okay by himself, mostly, and he doesn't know how to be close with anyone, and anyway, it's more important that his kid gets the noodles she deserves...?

Also, it made me cry.

(Wow, I tried to embed three Youtube videos into this post and every time the damn thing breaks. So here are some old fashioned links instead; sorry if you saw this post appear and disappear, this is the third...)

Big God by Scribdoodle - spoilers for later parts of the show. This is a delicious, dark, fairly angsty portrait of Shen Wei's supernatural side, as well as how much Zhao Yunlan is into it (not a spoiler: it's a lot), and I admire the choice for the last clip featuring Chu Shuzhi SO MUCH.

Make Me Feel by lola  - no spoilers, except for one angsty moment (from ep 33) that gets used for non-angsty purposes. Just so much fun, full of sparkle effects that work and add to the cheerful, sexy vibe. The way she recontextualizes the "bomb defusing" scene is fantastic, and every time the "lay your body on the shag carpet" moment comes up I just lose it. Oh Zhao Yunlan. <3
It doesn't hurt that the song is a Janelle Monae banger, and I may have watched this about 20-odd times already whenever I need a pick me up. The vid is on AO3 if you prefer to leave feedback there.

Fire's Gonna Burn by Nerjaveika - no spoilers, the perfect introduction to the bonfire of angst and hotness that is this show. If you're in the fandom, I suspect you've seen this vid. And if you're anything like me, you clicked on it anyway to watch it again, because it's just that good. (Okay, I could do without the text, but it's well done and that's just a personal preference.)

BONUS: leave the light on by bonibaru - no spoilers because this is an RPS vid about the actors. I just saw this for the first time ten minutes ago and now I am OUTRAGED because I have FEELINGS about L'Oreal commercials???!  (Zhu Yilong's little bitten lip at 1:44, kill me now) It's gorgeous and evocative and it makes me sniffly. Also: nobody should be as beautiful as Zhu Yilong, what even is his FACE.
