Long before Dixing joins the Alliance, two strangers meet up in the middle of the storm

'Dragon' fill for Guardian Bingo

"Aha!" Zhao Yunlan cheers. Like the rest of the faculty dragon boat team, Shen Wei is wearing a tank top with the DCU logo stamped on his back, his arms bare in a rare public state of undress. No one watching could mistake Professor Shen for a helpless, nerdy academic now. Not with those arms on display, the muscles not overly bulky but solid and well-defined — arms that Zhao Yunlan is smugly very familiar with.

Zhao Yunlan, the tiny dragon twins and Da Qing attend a dragon boat race.

“I swear, one of these days we will have to make a movie without Shen Wei in it,” Da Qing said and flopped onto his chair next to Zhao Yunlan.
“Don’t see a reason to,” Zhao Yunlan replied, not looking away from Shen Wei pacing around the set that mimicked an ancient palace. He looked good in his black robes billowing behind him and with a sword in his hand - then again, there was hardly any costume Shen Wei didn’t look good in. It was a perk of the job.

The Kunlun Studio and its daily struggles with their lead star (infatuated), their director (in love) and the rest of the crew (tired). That's it, there is no plot, just a lot of references and behind the scenes shenanigans.

Kunlun finds a sweet Little Beauty in a cave and decides he is his to keep.

Wei meets the most radiant and beautiful person he has ever seen and decides he wants to be his.

"You should try doing the airplane," Zhao Yunlan suggests to him as Shen Wei gathers another spoonful. Shen Wei gives him a sideways glance and raises an eyebrow.

"I don't know how you expect me to know what 'doing the airplane' means," Shen Wei responds.

In which Zhao Yunlan fails to explain a completely normal Haixing tradition.

Once upon a time, there was a Little Ghost King. He hungered for his God, and the God fed him his soul.
One day many years later, the Little Ghost King feeds his God back.

Shen Wei thinks about past ghost months and is starting to be hopeful about the future.

Zhao Yunlan is about to turn off the video feed when he notices something unexpected...

Shen Wei shows up at the SID, gorgeous in his bespoke suit and ... not a day over a thousand. Are those shark teeth in his mouth??

Zhao Yunlan has a new case, an old (very, very old) partner, and a disgruntled team on his hands. Must be a Tuesday.

Shen Wei doesn't like to celebrate his birthday which is why he is in his office. Zhao Yun Lan wants to change Shen Wei's mind.

Shen Wei hates the highly-favoured General of the North. He’s reckless, unorthodox and unruly, he disregards almost everything Shen Wei knows about conducting battles, and yet he returns triumphant every single time, his signature cocky smile firmly on his face. Shen Wei hates that he is so competent, hates that he is so unlike Kunlun, his predecessor. He hates how much he yearns for his return every time Zhao Yunlan goes away.

When Shen Wei meets Zhao Yunlan again years after their breakup, he doesn't expect it to hurt this much.

Shen Wei's POV on the events so far, and what lies ahead.

At something of a loose end without Zhao Yunlan to play with, Ye Zun makes his way to the middle and finds his brother there.
Both the unexcepted opportunity and his brother's wrist are seized with the speed of a striking viper... and similar results.
