Our new challenge is:

YIELD

As always, you can interpret the prompt literally or figuratively, in whatever way works for you.

Each work created for this challenge should be posted as a new entry to the comm. Posting starts now and continues up until the challenge ends at 4pm Pacific Time on Friday, 20 June. No sign-up required.

Mods will tag your work with fandom and challenge. When you've posted entries to three consecutive challenges, you will earn a name tag, and we'll go back and tag all your previous entries with your name.

All kinds of fanworks in all fandoms are welcome. Please have a look at our guidelines before you play. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact a mod. And if you have any suggestions for future challenges, you can leave them in the comments of this post.

Also, keep an eye out for the next ffw_social post, which will go up in the next couple of days. If you haven't joined the ffw_social comm, it's never too late to come and check it out. (Posts are locked, which means you have to join to see them.)

Tags: Chu Shuzhi/Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan, Zhao Yunlan & Da Qing, Shen Wei & Ye Zun. Post-Canon, Anger, Effects of Past Trauma, Complicated Relationships, Poly Relationships, Shen Wei misses his didi, Zhao Yunlan hates Ye Zun, Zhao Yunlan is triggered, Loyalties, Friendship, Clothes Sharing, Unreliable Narration.
Warning: This is set in a post-canon ‘verse where the canon events happened except that Da Qing took Zhao Yunlan’s place in the Lantern. Three difficult years later, Shen Wei and Da Qing came back. So Zhao Yunlan still has a lot of issues. This fic deals with intense feelings that aren't easily resolved.
Summary: Feel the anger and do it anyway.
