DMBJ Recs #2: Rare Pairings

[mekare]

Just like that rare creme-filled Easter egg with your favourite filling, a fanwork of the right rarepair flavour is hard to find sometimes. Let us know about your favourites (fic, art, vid, podfic etc.) and add a short line about what makes it delicious in your eyes!

For the purpose of this post, any pairing that is not Pingxie or Heihua counts as rare. Poly(amorous) pairings are admissable, as are aro- or ace-flavoured pairings. Any pairings with the DMBJ ladies are especially welcome.

Hailou/Haixia + Foba

[merinnan]

Title: away from home (right at home)
Creator: laireshi
Pairing: Zhang Hailou/Zhang Haixia
Rating: T
Warnings: None
Summary: Everything was different in Malacca: the climate, the food, the language, even his name. Zhang Hailou hadn’t even realised he could be this homesick. If not for Zhang Haixia at his side, he wasn’t sure what he would have done. He was so grateful for his presence, sometimes it made it hard to breathe.
Why I like it: I love Southern Archives, and I adore these two, and I especially love seeing them as a couple. This fic is just so beautiful and so sweet.

Title: to the point of absurd (but i know that he loves me)
Creator: Slutspeare
Pairing: Baye/Foye
Rating: G
Warnings: None
Summary: "You have a crush on a guy you only speak to over the phone and have never seen, and a guy that you've only seen but never spoken to. At the same time."
Okay. So maybe Tiezui should have thought this one out a little more.
Why I like it: I'll be honest, normally this isn't a pairing I give much thought to, but oh my god, this fic has to be one of my favourite ever fics. It's a modern AU, and Baye is just such a wonderful human disaster in it. He made me laugh, and want to reach into the fic and shake some sense into him, and to cringe in a lot of sympathy and understanding. And some excellent identity porn and identity misunderstandings. They're both dumbasses here, and I love it.
