Fic: tangled up in you

A while ago I wrote a little post-canon ficlet that combined Shen Wei's love for science with Zhao Yunlan's special brand of horniness, which in my mind grew into a whole verse where Shen Wei got to be a professor like he always wanted. So now there's a sequel!


tangled up in you (3,561 words) by A
Fandom: 镇魂 | Guardian (TV 2018)
Rating: Mature
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan
Characters: Zhao Yunlan, Shen Wei (Guardian), Da Qing (Guardian)
Additional Tags: Post-Canon, Fix-It, Kissing, Food, Education, Domesticity, A Hint of Trauma Recovery
Series: Part 2 of Higher Education
Summary: It feels nice, having friends and acquaintances and family members he's newly on speaking terms with, all scattered around Dragon City. Like his world needed to shrink down to a blinding, painful flicker of light before it could expand and breathe and grow beyond the SID.


The whole thing was partly inspired by [personal profile] eirenical's beautiful Tumblr post about all the things Shen Wei didn't get to keep 💔 (which [personal profile] elenothar helped me find again!) and attempts to right some of those wrongs.

I had a look at the post again after I had finished the fic, and! Either this part had lodged itself deep in my subconscious:

"He deserved to be able to research and learn about anything and everything he wanted to and then to geek out over those things over dinner while Zhao Yunlan’s eyes clouded over with that special fondness"


--or we both independently arrived at the idea of Yunlan letting Shen Wei talk about science over dinner, because he LOVES HIM and he WOULD. *draws little hearts around them both*

In conclusion, I'm already thinking about part three, in which I guess I will have to explain some things >.>
