Sunday Snippet

[frith_in_thorns]

I still have zero reading brain but have been plodding on with writing. Very slowly. I have been reading everyone's DW posts, though. I should start doing my own Isolation Diary soon, but I can't think of much to say. I think I'd prefer to be coping with this endlessly awful pregnancy and a pandemic separately, but maybe it's best to get them both over with together.


Shen Wei got into the passenger seat. Zhao Xinci didn't say anything at first as he started the engine and pulled out.

It wasn't until they had been driving for a couple of minutes that he spoke. "I told Yunlan to be the one to light the Lantern," he said, looking straight ahead at the road. "Did he tell you that?"

"He didn't," Shen Wei said. He considered for a moment. "You, or Zhang Shi?"

"Does it matter?" Zhao Xinci asked, a touch harshly.

"I don't know," Shen Wei said. "Does it?" He wasn't sure himself.

This fic now contains a surprising-to-me amount of Zhao Xinci. Whenever I let him into a fic he won't go away!

I loathe him but also love his as a character. Can’t wait to see this pan out! I mean, I can, in your own time, of course ☺️☺️
