Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan’s Second Meeting – Chapter 1, by Lord_Black_Cloak – 镇魂 | Guardian (TV) [Archive of Our Own]

Zhao Xinci’s son is a shadowy figure that Shen Wei knows nothing of. The man would be rather young for the position of Special Investigation Department Chief (his Haixing title) and Guardian Lord (his Dixing title), but to be able to receive such rank at a young age would speak highly of the man’s skills and accomplishments. Shen Wei knows only this, and that the man’s name is Zhao Yunlan. The name means little to him.

When I saw the way Zhao Yunlan talked to BCE on the rooftop in episode 1, I also thought they must have met before (although that doesn’t quite mesh with Shen Wei’s strong reaction to seeing him at the window). This is a great exploration of the hypothetical first meeting.

This is Shirasade‘s fic and vid recs collection, starting 2015. (Unfortunately my recs from 2005 onwards were hosted on Delicious and went bust with the site, although I was able to import an old bookmarks list from 2010 into Tagpacker, and I’m currently in the process of adding the bookmarks from this site there as well.) Because I moved from Delicous to Tumblr and now WordPress, the older posts don’t look quite so pretty.

Day 1: One moment in time, by Remlundskan

Day 1: One moment in time, by Remlundskan

As soon as they had arrived in 2045 and Cole had realized what day it was, the idea came to him. And as soon as an opportunity arose, he took it and ran with it like the Witness was at his heels. This had to happen, that was the only thing he could think of as he moved towards Ramse’s quarters. This had to happen! He could never go back to his own time if he didn’t let this happen.

Adult. A moment literally stolen from time – this is bittersweet and I love it.

Sex is like the beat of a drum, like hurtling down a grassy hillside or the crackle of a campfire. The body’s response is instinctual, and for some it’s a social act by definition. For Shen Wei, the Envoy—like his body, like his own face—it’s intensely private.

That changes when Kunlun arrives.

Adult, spoilers for the show. I love how Shen Wei is characterized here, as well as his relationship with Kunlun. The demisexual angle fits my own headcanon perfectly, too. Just altogether lovely!

If Magnus is going to love Alexander (which of course he is) then he’s going to have to understand his parabatai and their bond, at least a little bit better than he does now. But he’s not entirely sure how or where to start…

Becoming parabatai takes practice. Training before the ceremony itself, physical and mental, meditation and sparring, how to move together, think together, read each other’s cues even before you can feel them.

How to live together, because if you can’t even handle being classmates, roommates, compatriots, partners, you’ll never survive being soulmates.

You have to prove you’re practically soulmates on your own before they’ll let you take the rune and make it real.

Or that’s the theory.

Sometimes they get it right.

Sometimes they don’t.

Magnus wants to know all of Alec. Even the parts that are Jace. This is stunning, a gorgeous exploration of the parabatai bond. With a helping of Michael Wayland that makes me heart hurt.
