[fic: detective L] No other plans for the evening

Inevitably, I am writing Detective L fic. BUT, unlike Guardian, this is a fandom where short contextless h/c actually works! So definitely more to follow, I need at least one fic for each of Xiaoman and Ben too, although I currently have no conception of Ben's POV so he'll have to wait. No episode spoilers contained within.

This fills the "head trauma" square on my hc_bingo card.

I've only just started writing this, as I caught up and posted the last of my WIPs this morning.

This is another Guardian fic -- I've been turning this concept over in my head for a couple of days. It is an extremely strange fixit and I haven't even decided whether it's quite tenable as a story.

Each spark coalesces slowly, or else it's that he can't catch their beginning; they arise from the spaces in the air between where the dust motes glow golden in the bars of sunlight slanting through the high windows, gathering light until they blaze and settle slowly, so slowly, in with the rest.

It's slow, and hypnotic, and Zhao Yunlan watches from the sofa as the sun slips away and dusk slides in to replace the day. The sparks continue, tiny glints like fireflies far away on a summer night. (He saw them dance like this once, on a lake long ago, and the memory is vivid enough to ache in his chest.) They scatter on the table like the embers of a campfire.

He waits with a hope so agonising he can't invoke it.
