Shen Wei understood power. It was, he thought, why he was here. Why Zhao Yunlan had asked him. Because he understood power, not just as some abstract concept, but concretely, intimately, the heavy cloak of it a familiar weight he’d carried for centuries. Shen Wei knew how to wield it, like a weapon, like a caress, and he knew how easy it was for that use to turn to abuse.

Tonight, Zhao Yunlan needed him to wield that power on his behalf. And that was the easiest thing of all. The easiest and the most dangerous.

Adult, D/s themes. Oh my – undercover in a BDSM club, this is gorgeous from start to finish and manages to hit SO MANY of my buttons along the way.

Shen Wei brings one hand up and starts petting at Zhao Yunlan’s face, nearly poking him in the eye. Zhao Yunlan gets out his phone and shines the torch on him. Shen Wei yelps and tries to cover his eyes, knocking the phone out of Zhao Yunlan’s hand in the process. It hits the ground, clattering against something hard, and the light goes out. “Sorry,” Shen Wei says sheepishly.

A suspicion begins to dawn. “Fuck, are you drunk?”

This is sweet and sexy and soft, with beautiful details that form an altogether lovely picture of Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan in a slightly canon-divergent future.

If it gives him a weird twist in his belly, to think about Shen Wei looking at someone else the way he looks at Zhao Yunlan—to imagine him ducking his head when their eyes meet, the smile curving at the edges of his lips, that he can’t hide for all his control—jealousy’s an ugly emotion, as they say. And not one Zhao Yunlan is used to.

But this isn’t jealousy, not really—it’s anger. It’s righteous fury at whoever took a heart like Shen Wei’s—noble and compassionate, devoted and kind—so, so kind—whoever it was, who took a treasure that precious, and tossed it aside.

Mature, missing scenes. This is an absolute gem, taking a deep and insightful look at Zhao Yunlan’s time in the past and his relationship with Shen Wei. Breathtakingly beautiful, it takes its time to develop what the show only alludes to.

Shen Wei may be the master of the sword, but Zhao Yunlan has other weapons up his sleeve.
