picture alt text: Zhou Zishu is smiling at Wen Kexing, who is off screen on the left. He looks happy. He is wearing grey robes, and behind him we see a wooden post and blurred walls. In the top left of the picture, a white, semi-opaque rectangle reads ‘SHL Big Bang 2021, Compilation’.
SHL BIG BANG 2021 - COMPILATION POST
Hello! We have reached the end of this Big Bang. We would like to thank all participants, including those who weren’t able to make it to the end. You’ve all done an incredible job and it was amazing to work with you all! Thank you as well to everyone who has been reblogging and liking our participants fic and art!
Below the cut is a compilation of every fic and accompanying art, with the names of the writer, artist(s) and beta reader. Some sections will have only art or only fic; this is for cases where a member of the team dropped out, but the remaining participant still wanted to publish their piece as a Big Bang piece.

That’s it! We may add some late entries in the coming weeks, so do keep an eye out :) They will be added in reblogs, and the link to the compilation post on our blog will be updated to the most recent version.
To get the authors' and artists' post directly, you can look through our reblogs, or our retweets. We also have an AO3 collection.
This Big Bang started out in April this year, so it's been going on for a while! We're very proud of our participants and happy that they've finally been able to share the result of their work with you. It's been a weird year for the fandom, but we're very glad that this event still happened!
Did you enjoy the amazing works from the Shan He Ling Big Bang 2021? Well there's another fun fandom event starting out early in 2022: Shan He Ling Reverse Bang. This time, artists create their works first and authors create a fic based on their work. Check out the links above for more info, sign ups, and more.

So excited to finally be posting my fic for this year’s @shlbigbang !
I had a lot of fun working on this piece, even if it didn’t quite shape up how I originally expected. Read on for enemies-to-lovers and undercover shenanigans!

Summary:
“If you could leave this place, would you?”
The Valley Master’s gaze was so serious that for half a moment Zhou Zishu felt almost guilty to be deceiving him. But behind his eyes, there was a new glint—the wolf or the hunter, it was hard to tell which.
“The only way I’m leaving here is in a wooden box.”
Wen Kexing gave a startled laugh, tipping his head back to expose a long, bare throat. When he looked back at Zhou Zishu, his eyes still bore the same dangerous shine.
“You don’t need to die to become a ghost,” he said.
It’s posting day!! Read @alipeeps amazing fic here!! If you’d prefer, you can also view the art on AO3.
Ali, it’s been a pleasure working with you!! You were so helpful when it came to talking about what you’d like to see, all the little details like Zhou Zishu’s hair length and the white eyes, and your encouragement throughout our time working together!! Thank you 💙
There. In the mouth of an alleyway Zhou Zishu had passed by further down the street, a man lounged insouciantly against the wall, his eyes fixed on Zhou Zishu. Zhou Zishu let his gaze skim over him before turning away, showing no sign that he’d noticed the man staring.
the stranger span back around and snatched the creature out of the air by the throat, holding it almost effortlessly aloft, while it kicked and scrabbled and snarled, its hands clawing desperately at the stranger’s grip
Slowly, Wen Kexing sat up in the bath, his shirt clinging wetly to his chest and arms. He held Zishu’s arm in front of him with both hands, turned palm upwards, and stared at it with a mixture of desperation and despair.
“You’ll need to stop me,” he said roughly, his voice shaking. He looked up at Zishu and Zishu bit back a gasp at the familiar yet disconcerting whiteness of his eyes. Then Wen Kexing lunged forward and bit deep into the flesh of Zishu’s arm.
Somewhere back down the tunnel, something collapsed with a deep rumble, and the orange glow surged, lapping along the stone walls…
Don’t forget to check out Ali’s fic here!! And thank you again to @alipeeps and @wanderingfandoms !! You two made it so much fun to work on this project 😊💙 and thank you to Lian for all your help and for being the reason I even felt comfortable signing up for the bb 💙

Title: Bound by Blood
Author: Alipeeps
Fandom: Word of Honor
Chapters: 22
Words: 81,070
Summary: The absolute last thing disgraced ex-cop Zhou Zishu needs is to get mixed up in the murderous political machinations of Zhao Jing and his ilk but when he stumbles into the middle of a massacre and saves the life of Zhang Chengling, he finds himself caught up in a decades-long conspiracy of corruption, murder… and vampires. How can he protect Chengling from the most powerful man in the city, and who is the mysterious, irritatingly charming stranger who has taken such an interest in Chengling and himself… and seems to know so much about vampires?
It’s done! It’s here!! It’s finally finished! My shlbigbang fic is posted!
This has been an absolute rollercoaster - an AU fic idea that took on a life of its own and just kept growing and growing into the longest fic I have ever written!
This fic would not literally not exist if not for my beta starevayssa and my artist Jayfire. They have both been utterly AMAZING, supporting me and cheering me on throughout, helping me plan and brainstorm, talking through ideas, fixing my typos, inspiring me with wonderful artwork, and holding my hand through scrapping and rewriting an entire chapter and a sticky E key that made typing hellish!!
You can find Jayfire’s FIVE artworks for this fic here. Please go give her and starevayssa ALL the love in the world and if you enjoy my fic at all please do come and scream at me about it. All your thoughts and feedback gratefully received!!
The skies are clear and a full moon hangs right above the window, washing the rooftops of the capital silver. On the table, neatly laid side by side, are seven red nails, a scroll and several pots of herbs and ointments. He picks one up and idly studies it, twisting it between his fingers.
“Will you really do this?” A serpentine voice says, breaking the silence in the room.
“You know I will.” Zhou Zishu says, eyes still on the nail.
My contributions to the SHL Big Bang 2021! I had a lot of fun working on these pieces based on this wonderful fic by Crimson_Sbird on Twitter - a Word of Honor/His Dark Materials crossover. @tencitizens also created this beautiful edit over on YouTube - please go and check both works out!
This gifset is for SHL Big Bang 2021, paired with a wonderful Daemon AU fic on ao3! Gifs included here have Gu Xiang with her leopard daemon, Cao Weining with his rabbit daemon, and Zhang Chengling with his daemon (in cat form! she hasn't settled yet hehe). I've made another gifset with Wen Kexing, Zhou Zishu, and Ye Baiyi as well!

These are the gifs I made based on mintyfish’s (@_gayexmachina on twitter) AMAZING story Within Us an Orchard on AO3! It’s so well paced, and well written and she’s posting her chapters throughout the day everyone! Please check it out and support it! I love it so much!
How much do I love it? When I signed up for the shlbb, the requirement said 4 manips or 8 gifs so i said my gifs were manips and showed the admins my style. The admins for the bb were ok with that designation. But! Due to how beautifully mintyfish wrote her story, I couldn’t help but make 7 gifs!
Image description behind cut (also, this is my first time writing one, so please let me know if i should restructure the post or not put them under cut etc.)
This is not just an ode to @randomingoftherandomness ‘s wonderful fic “Time After Time” but to the writer themselves for being absolutely amazing through it all! I couldn’t have had a better partner for the @shlbigbang ! I really hope you’ll go read their fic as they deserve all the love for their hard work. Also a huge thanks to the beta Vucizalis on their behalf ;3;
Summary:
This was the moment where Ah Xu asked, “Master, are we going back home with this younger brother?”
This was when Qin Huaizhang replied, “Yes, from now on, you’ll have a friend. You must love and care for each other. You’re the elder brother here, so take care of him. Do you get it?”
But this does not happen. It takes Wen Kexing a second to realise that Zishu is looking back at him with a strained expression that is equal amounts terror and longing. He is sure it is mirrored on his own face.

I forgot to take photos of the drawing process cause I’m kinda in a hurry, so here’s the base sketch made in procreate and the base line art traced to the watercolor papers
This is the last week of posting for our Big Bang participants! Most teams have opted to post on Sunday, so look forward to a LOT of stuff on that day :) If you want to see what everyone else has done until now, look at our reblogs from the past three weeks! You can also find us on Twitter and AO3; not everyone has posted on tumblr, so you might discover new art and fic there!
