frith_in_thornsYesterday I was cheating on my Sundial fic by writing for ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
brush_and_lantern's monthly prompt (Renew, Reverse, Reboot) instead. I have 1k in my notebook so far. But on the plus side, this means I actually have something to share as a Sunday snippet instead of all my words being for exchanges!

Shen Wei was tidying the kitchen. He'd made and eaten his own breakfast, and prepared a meal for Zhao Yunlan which was now packed in a container in the fridge ready for when he got off his overnight shift at the SID. He wiped down the counters at a leisurely pace, in no hurry, since he had no university duties that day.
He was unprepared for the front door to be thrown open with a slam, or for Zhao Yunlan to come charging in, panting and disarrayed.
"Shen Wei, good, listen," Zhao Yunlan gasped out.
"Zhao Yunlan, what —"
"No, listen!" Zhao Yunlan gestured emphatically at him. "Don't use your dark energy. For anything. Very important."
"What do you —"
"We're in a time loop," Zhao Yunlan said. "You need to trust me."
And he collapsed.
