What if things didn't quite go the way it originally did? What if Shen Wei wasn't as alone as he thought he was?

Shen Wei had lived for over 10,000 years: searching, waiting, learning, and keeping the peace. Throughout that time he lost himself a little bit and was just going through the motions as the Envoy and dedicating his time as a Professor to his students. Especially the one Dixing student he had saved that now insisted Shen Wei was a savior to them all. Every thing was fine until he came across a corpse, a student hanging from a cord, and a familiar face in a window.

A re-write of Guardian with Shen Wei whump and Zhao Yunlan paying closer attention and stubbornly insisting on taking care of Shen Wei. Also a new take on the Hallows, what if they got annoyed at the unsuccessful time loops and decided to help out a bit by giving Shen Wei premonitions? What of all those close calls SID had were only close calls because Shen Wei knew they were going to happen before it actually occurred?

**Author's Note** Chapters 1-5 were rewritten and updated, published with Chapter 6 on 4/30/2022.

Zhao Yunlan liked how it was between them. He knew the romantic feelings he felt when he started dating someone was different than how he felt with Lin Jing. His best friend. The one he trusted the most in this world… and the one he happened to have casual sex with whenever he wasn’t in a relationship.
One statement, though, and he had Lin Jing reevaluating all of that.
Over the years, what had started as a mix of curiosity and mutual trust to experience and enjoy pleasure, had become a form of affection that was unique to them - their sex didn't start in bed and didn't end in the aftercare. There was more to that, a seemingly unbreakable friendship that had not been shaken by Zhao Yunlan's other relationships, but had been strengthened by their duties in the Department, by the multiple times they had entrusted their lives to each other.
Regardless of whether their feelings for each other were named or remained just the silent understanding between them, it was good enough. Most of the time.

"Gege, they're saying you're a Christmas angel. Is that true?" A little boy who should be the leader of the bunch of despicable little creatures dared to address him.
He wasn't so cruel as to want to rip out the child's tongue just because he had spoken to him, though. And by all accounts, he didn't know what a Christmas angel was.
"I'm afraid I must be a Christmas Ghost, little sir," he replied with a wave of his hand, shooing the children away. When they scattered and regrouped towards the plump old man in red, he sighed in relief. "Perhaps this is my signal to leave this place for good..."
Many people blended together in Zhao Yunlan's sight, all bundled up in coats and bustling around, but one man stood out. He stood nearby, enjoying a warm cup of cider from one of the stalls, watching the silver haired man that had caught his eye not too long ago.
“Why a ghost and not an angel?” he asked in a way of greeting as he stopped to stand beside the silver haired man.
...
Gui Mian just wanted to know what the city was like before he tore it all down, but he had unfortunately chosen a bad time. A Christmas market definetely wasn't in his plans.

"Lie with me," Shen Wei says, and Kunlun's breath catches.

The rumours failed to capture how alive Kunlun was, how he was easily the centre of attention when he entered a place. Shen Wei had not expected to be rescued by the General, nor did he anticipate the warmth with which Kunlun treated him.

aka, Shen Wei falls in love.

Finally he said, “It takes a lot out of you.”

Changcheng was struck by the fact that it was an observation instead of a question. It made him feel an odd sort of warmth inside to be so closely watched. That someone would bother to notice.

“Yes… but, I feel this sense of, hmmm maybe not achievement, but it feels like restoring some kind of balance to convey the messages. It makes it worth it,” Changcheng said with a small smile.
