frith_in_thornsYou know how a couple of weeks ago I was here stressing about my fics being only h/c and no plot? I'm still writing the sequel to In darkness buried deep (it's going to be a trilogy now, someone please reassure me that this is a good idea) and now I'm like Oh No, this has Too Much Plot, people who are reading me just for the h/c are going to get bored.
...I mean, it does have h/c, obviously, but it doesn't kick in until after the first 5k. Before that it's mostly plot and angsty knives and the Regent being a massive dick.
Today's Sunday Six is indeed part of that fic, and contains a PSA from Zhao Yunlan.

"Shen Wei!" Zhao Yunlan shook him. "Shen Wei, wake up!"
Shen Wei resisted his efforts. Mumbled something, sluggish as Zhao Yunlan had been at first.
"Shen Wei, I think there's a fire," Zhao Yunlan said. Coughing again. He was lucky he'd been sleeping under the covers, with some of the smoke filtered out before it reached him. "Shen Wei!"
"What —" Shen Wei finally sat up, reaching for him.
"Fire, come on!" Zhao Yunlan let go of him to pull on the jeans and sweater he'd abandoned on the floor. In the pause he could hear the distant sounds of smoke detectors ringing from other apartments.
Not theirs. He had meant to check the batteries… at some point…

But yeah Shen Wei should be able to expect Zhao Yunlan to do the minimum of maintaining his own flat! (Considering fire alarms tend to beep when their batteries are low, did Zhao Yunlan just get annoyed with the noise and pull them one night and then never got around to replacing them... Because that sounds unfortunately like him...)
