"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.

Guo Changcheng receives a last message from a dying man but delivering the message to the family brings new dangers

"Exultant at Zhao Yunlan claiming this impromptu love token, he kisses his inner wrist just above the chain."

Illustration for a fine exchange by china_shop.

One day, the younger twin had been afraid that his brother had left for good, but it had only been a brief departure - from that day onwards they could probably count on the tips of their fingers how many times they had actually been apart for anything.
Shen Wei sighed at the lack of space, but he didn’t push the other away. He continued to focus on his cooking, leaving his brother to his goal of coffee. It was actually quite easy for him to move naturally around the other. Countless lifetimes spent together in so many ways made it second nature. Their dinner wasn’t in any danger just because Mianmian was being a menace. Sometimes the other misbehaved just to annoy Shen Wei, other times he knew it was deeper than that. Not a test but seeking reassurance. That Shen Wei was there. That he wasn’t going anywhere. Because deep down, Mianmian was still that little ghost king tugging on his brother’s robes with bloody hands.

Shen Wei held two worlds together for 10,000 years, and all the thanks he gets is shuffled off into the darkness.

Zhao Yunlan has taken a lot of shit in his life, but this, this he refuses to accept.

a.k.a Zhao Yunlan whines at the Universe until it gives him back Shen Wei.

a.K.a Shen Wei has no idea what is happening, but Kunlan is back, so he's going with it.

A.K.A Zhao Yunlan gets that first date, puts out on said first date, and somehow works it all out

AU: Zhao YunLan is spending his evening in the local bar when he encounters the most beautiful man he has ever laid eyes on - leading him to wonder if love at first sight is real and whether his love could be synchronised.

If Shen Wei had any regrets about that little human life he had built for himself in Longcheng as a university professor, he certainly hid it from himself most of the time. On nights like that, where the incessant rain and dense mist made the air even colder and the streets even quieter, it was somehow difficult not to think about what had once been.
This night was just like many nights before, where Wu Xie wandered the streets, uncaring of the rain that slowly seeped through his clothes. Hoping just maybe it could sink all the way into his soul.
...
When two men that should be strangers reunite on the rainy streets of Longcheng, an uncertain present and an intense past intertwine.
…
At the exhibition, Zhao Yunlan gazed intently at the arts before him, the snow-capped mountains, the ethereal landscapes, the birds on branches, the peonies and koi.
The huge green tree with strong roots. The blossoming plum tree.
It was as if those images were photographs of things he had seen a long time ago, and that still remained vivid in his memory.
He needed to see the artist.

The man had a great body. That was just a fact. Zhao Yunlan was comfortable in his sexuality to normally admit such things, but this was Lin Jing they were talking about. They were coworkers. He was annoying too, something Zhao Yunlan was reminded of almost every time the man opened his mouth. Also, Zhao Yunlan would bet extra bonuses for the entire department that if Lin Jing was at all interested in any sort of hook up (which Zhao Yunlan definitely didn’t want), that the man would be a top. Zhao Yunlan knew what he liked and when he was younger he had his own share of awkward make outs that lead nowhere because of realized incompatible preferences. He did not need to relive those moments now, especially not with Lin Jing. He’d trust his gaydar on this one.
To Zhao Yunlan's panic, Zhu Hong didn't seem willing to let it go and just watch him be grumpy and frustrated over something he didn't want to do anything about. She took it as a personal mission.
The hardest part was perhaps how oblivious Lin Jing was to all of this. Especially when they had a murder case that always happened on Halloween, and now it was approaching again.

Continuation of 'The Guardian', the Chinese drama series...

Zhao YunLan lives his new life as the wick of the guardian lantern. Every day, he burnt mercilessly inside the lamp so that he can provide a better life for the DiXing people.

Until one day, an unusually beautiful comet passing him. Zhao YunLan recklessly makes wishes, which are brought into reality.

But what going to happen if every wish has its consequence?

Ye Zun would burn worlds for Shen Wei. Shen Wei asks him to do something else instead.

Shen Wei instinctively reaches for his pendant, the familiar weight steadying him as his mind circles around the same painful questions that have been haunting him. Should he tell Zhao Yunlan the truth? Will it put him in danger?

“I’ll go back, but you have to wear this.”

Or: Shen Wei and the Boyfriend Jacket.

The three rapists from that Engineering 4 class find a different target. A dark retelling of Episode 3, an episode that was already pretty damn dark. Heed the warnings.

Unfinished but well underway. Anticipate weekly updates as the monster swells and bellows.

Happy Halloween! absolutely my favorite time of year

A note about early season canon: At the end of this episode Zhu Jiu sounds surprised that a mere college professor was able to counteract Wang Yike's fast, fatal aging power, which I took to mean he has not yet figured out that Shen Wei is the Envoy...and on that fragile, fragile foundation is built a story.

"Ye Zun's warmth was too much for him to handle, but as soon as he stepped away from him he felt the need to go back, to drown in that blotch of darkness. It reminded him of the smoke burning down his throat every time he took a drag on his favourite cigarettes, that awful sensation he both hated and craved."
or
Zhao Yunlan's consciousness somehow manages to enter the Pillar. He meets Ye Zun, a figure made of swirling smoke. They talk, they play. It distracts Zhao Yunlan, it entertains Ye Zun. The latter has a personal vendetta against his brother and is searching for someone. Both don't realise Zhao Yunlan is that someone.

Ye Zun just wanted to see the human that's so important to his brother with his own eyes, but things don't quite go according to plan.

Zhao Yunlan put himself in danger again, and Shen Wei isn't happy about it.

Zhao Yunlan wakes up covered in a cold sweat and a sharp nausea twisting in his belly. He can't make his legs work right, so he crawls to the bathroom. He hugs the toilet bowl, holding himself up by sheer force of will as he wretches into it.

There were times in the middle of the night when Chu Shuzhi caught a chill. He thought maybe it was a sense memory of all those nights spent freezing on a cold and hard prison floor.

Chu Shuzhi had no idea how much the new SID recruit would change his life.
