Oooh. Lordy, a DN Angel AU... I was about to say, "How would that even WORK", but then I realized...SHEN WEI AS SATOSHI AND YE ZUN AS KRAD, Holy Shit. I don't know who Dark would be, but OMG, Shen Wei would PINE over ZYL, and keep trying to keep a lid on his feelings so he wouldn't turn into Ye Zun...augh...

Which reminds me, I still need to put up my old fics on AO3. ^_^;;;

I love everything I've seen with ZYL and SW genderswapped (especially that marvelous piece of art you did for them!) I particularly love the idea of femmeslash with them, because one can absolutely swap them without significantly changing the plot of the show. I feel like their intense dynamic translates really well to femmeslash. I love the trope of 'temporary sex swap' and how different characters react to it, but I also love to see characters re-imagined as having grown up female. Basically: all the things!

Oooooooooooooooooh.SATOSHI/KRAD YESSSS. IDK for Krad either, and that was stumping me, but maybe it doesn't need to matter as much? Perhaps Da Qing, who's an extremely petty thief and just steals so much dried fish, or that haixingren spirit that's in Zhao Xinci. Shen Wei would try so hard not to let ZYL know of his secret self, and Ye Zun would flirt-hurt Zhao Yunlan so well. Also: W I N G S.

Yes, you do! (I have so much old art to put up too. Sigh.)

Yes to everything. Their very quick domestic situation also fits well with my culture's wlw stereotypes of "moving in together within 2 weeks of dating" and the dynamics really work well. Ahh, so much goodness to explore. *3*

YES. DA QING IS DEFINITELY DARK-SAN. He's perfect as the devil-may-care thief (cat burglar! LOL) And ZYL tries so hard not to turn into him, but whenever he sees Shen Wei his heart starts to pound and... *poof*

DN Angel even has the whole 'past lives/past selves' thing going for it, since Krad and Dark are reborn into the Satoshi and Niwa families in every generation. And YES. WINGS. Fuck yeah.

Everything I love Weilan for still works no matter what gender they are! Professor Shen, sweet, buttoned down and secretly a badass. Zhao Yunlan, shameless but secretly intuitive and brilliant. They are stunning together!
