A/N: This is 18+ rated…

Zhao Yunlan lay on the bed, the flickering light from the dozen or so candles around the room playing seductively across his naked body, shadows dancing over his skin. He smiled and reached out with his arms invitingly, encouragingly, but Shen Wei hesitated where he was, kneeling on the end of the bed. He was still mostly dressed, though his shirt was completely undone, his tie and jacket slung over a nearby chair, and it was obvious to Yunlan that Shen Wei felt self-conscious, both with his state of dress and lack of knowledge about how to proceed.

“It’s ok, baby – I’ll talk you through it,” Yunlan said, still reaching out. For a moment it looked like Shen Wei wouldn’t move but slowly, hesitatingly, he began to lean forward, bending down to place his hands on the bed as he slowly moved his body between Yunlan’s legs then higher, until their bodies were pressed together and they lay face to face; for a moment they just lay there, staring into each other’s eyes, and it felt like a lifetime passed between them.

Okay, but there was literally no way Yunlan and Shen Wei could have not fallen in love. They both ensured it. (Obv, I’m talking about the show here and not the book).

It’s not fate, that’s not what I mean. It’s the timeline. In the book it was reincarnation, but even then you could say Yunlan’s slutty personality is what ensured that he fell in love with Shen Wei, and Shen Wei ensured they’d meet at all by semi-stalking him for years. You’re bound to run into each other in that way.

But in the show, what triggered Shen Wei’s devotion to Kun Lun? Yunlan did. Because the moment he sees Shen Wei 10K years in the past, he decides to spend every moment they’re together aggressively flirting with him. He already knows what will get a reaction from the time he and Shen Wei have spent together in the present, so he’s not at a disadvantage here. He doesn’t need to learn Shen Wei’s temperament—he notices as soon as they meet that Shen Wei is practically the same person. So he teases, he gets a reaction, and he keeps teasing, keeps pushing that boundary, and Shen Wei is taken completely by surprise.

Yunlan is thinking: “my future husband is adorable.”

Shen Wei doesn’t stand a chance.

(Now I think we’re all pretty much in agreement over the fact that Yunlan should have spent at least a month or so with Shen Wei for Shen Wei to develop that amount of devotion; one night is a little… Well, he’d certainly be sad, but devoted? Nah. Not with Shen Wei’s personality.)

But Yunlan? What does he like? Attention. And boy does Shen Wei give his his fill from the moment they meet at the university. Shen Wei’s intensity is something anyone would be creeped out by, but our boy Yunlan can’t help but wonder where it comes from. It’s the cop in him; he needs to know the source of the behavior. And because of his suspicions, he spends more time with Shen Wei, so he gets more of that attention—and the fact that Shen Wei grows into basically his caretaker just eggs that on—so he enjoys their time together even more, so he starts to like Shen Wei’s personality past the intensity, they develop a chemistry, they fall in love, they get married.

Yunlan falls in love with Shen Wei over time like a normal romance, but he does so because Shen Wei is already in love with him. If Shen Wei hadn’t been, he wouldn’t have given Yunlan any more attention than he would give anyone else. They would have been acquaintances at most. Shen Wei hadn’t even bothered to show up as his Envoy self since Yunlan became the Guardian.

So in this way, Yunlan doesn’t stand a chance. He likes the attention too much.

And so when he gets dropped back 10K years in the past and he meets Shen Wei’s non-devoted self, his first instinct is to tease the fuck out of him and throw him off his equilibrium, which serves to awaken that devotion. But even at the time, his main concern is getting back to his Shen Wei, the one he practically lives with.

Shen Wei falls head over heels, and the cycle continues.

There was no chance of them not falling for one another because one of them was already in love the moment the other met them.

am i ever going to be free of this

They only have one fight about it, but it’s a bad one: Zhao Yunlan actually goes to his mom’s house and sleeps three miserable nights in his childhood bed. It’s much too narrow, not to mention empty of anybody’s cool body close to his to cuddle up to. He wakes up three or four times a night, and Shen Wei’s never there, already awake or never asleep, watching him with fathomless black eyes, like he’s starving for the sight of him.

It’s too much. Zhao Yunlan wakes up and decides that today he’ll go home and apologize. He’ll say, Sorry, baby, I was a dick about it, I –

He opens his eyes, full of good intentions, but the first thing he sees is Shen Wei, in the actual flesh, sitting on the end of his childhood bed and staring at him with exhausted, ravenous eyes.

Zhao Yunlan yells and flails off the bed, and Shen Wei’s effort to catch him only ends with him tilting over as well, falling on top of Zhao Yunlan in slow motion, like a cartoon.

Shen Wei is very heavy. He looks like a nerd but he’s packed with solid fighter’s muscle. He catches himself before he crushes Zhao Yunlan entirely, but he’s still braced over him, eyes wide. “Are you –”

The door crashes open. “ARE YOU–” begins Zhao Yunlan’s mom, and stops.

Just to make things more awkward, Zhao Yunlan’s dad comes too. He looks at the scene, and then at his wife, and then says, with surprising calm, “I didn’t know you gave him a key.”

Zhao Yunlan hadn’t known that either, actually, but there’s no way to suggest Shen Wei had just ripped a hole in the fabric of reality like fucking Mickey Mouse and appeared without making things worse, so he just says, “Uhhhh–”

Zhao Yunlan’s mom goes, affectionately scolding, like she never fucking does with Zhao Yunlan. (Because Shen Wei is her favorite, fuck him.) “Xiao Wei, even if I gave you the key, what are you doing just sneaking in? I would have made your favorite breakfast!”

“MA,” howls Zhao Yunlan, in outrage. The past two days he’d been lucky to get a sniff from his mother and a bowl of specially-bought off-brand cold cereal slammed in front of him. Then he takes a deep breath in and says, “Ma, I’ll talk to him about it, so can you two–”

“Oh, all right,” says his mother huffily. “Properly make up, you two.”

Okay some more thoughts on how to fix the time travel plot for Guardian!

1) We know that no matter how much time has passed, it isn’t an indication of how fast time is moving in the time they came from, so they could have taken a month or two to get back, it would’ve been fine. For the purposes of fucking Shen Wei up so hard he pines for 10K years (even if most of it is in nap form), let’s give them 6 months. So that’s six months to build a relationship

2) I have no clue how the show would have done it platonically, but Shen Wei and Yunlan would have to build a romance. That’s literally the only type of relationship that would justify that acting from Zhou Yilong, and he fucking knows it. We can even keep that Yunlan and Shen Wei weren’t even a couple yet when Yunlan entered the time portal, they were just going around calling each other “good friends” and practically living together, cuz let’s say Yunlan is an idiot or in denial or what have you. But either way, Yunlan is unaware they were lovers in the past

2a) This works great cuz it’s Yunlan, and to him Shen Wei has always been intensely interested in him, so he doesn’t really notice that his flirting is making Shen Wei fall head over heels for this stranger who knows all the right things to say to knock him off his equilibrium

2b) Because of that, he’s surprised when Shen Wei blushingly confesses to him, or says something like “I know what you want from me, and I want it too, but humans and mutants can never be together. I must turn you down” and Yunlan just has this moment of “huh, I guess to anyone that isn’t a pining, celibate immortal with too many emotional walls up, I look in love”, which triggers the next moment of “oh shit he’s in love with me”, which spawns “oh shit I’m in love with him”

2c) Yunlan struggles for a bit, not wanting to “take advantage” of his younger (I’m assuming in his early 20s; Shen Wei needed the time to get through undergrad, graduate, and post doc, as well as develop that slick sense of style after waking up practically the same age 10K years later) “good friend”, but fuck is he cute. Reminds him of when he met Shen Wei at the university, but with less heartbreak weighing him down, and maybe he slips up and lets his hand linger over Shen Wei’s when they both reach for the same thing, or gazes at him a little too softly while they’re discussing battle tactics with 5 other generals, and gods, he misses Shen Wei so much, his Shen Wei, the one who has already waited, and Yunlan wants nothing more than to return to him and end the wait

2d) when the time comes, before they open the portal, Yunlan sees the devastation on Shen Wei’s face. He had no clue Yunlan would be leaving after this. Yunlan can’t help himself, knows he’s dooming this man to 10K years of yearning, but he can’t stand that look, and he kisses him. Shen Wei kisses back and it’s sloppy and inexperienced and errs on the side of desperate, but Yunlan pours all the “sorrys” he possibly can into it, sorry for doing this to you, sorry for wanting the later you, sorry for never realizing, sorry for what’s to come

3) give Yunlan a “tragic” ending for younger!Shen Wei to witness. the terrible emotions behind that “this is the life I’m returning to you” delivery by Yilong just falls flat if it’s for his comrades and people he’s heard Kun Lun has saved. It speaks of a tragedy Shen Wei has been living with the trauma of for centuries (er, decades, if we go with that nap they said he took). Yunlan would have been sucked into a portal, sure, but what they gave us wasn’t traumatizing enough for Shen Wei to be so protective of him that he doesn’t want him leaving the city or facing mutants without him there to back him up. That protectiveness isn’t just cute; it’s obsessive. It has to come from that trauma, a trauma regarding some tragic fate that had to do with Yunlan being helpless to defend himself in some situation

4) Shen Wei can’t be “waiting”. It would be so much better if he had no idea Yunlan was going to show up later. Maybe he’s hoping for a reincarnation, or he’s hoping that once he dies, he can join Yunlan in the afterlife, but Shen Wei is just doing his job, enjoying the surface now that he’s awake because the light reminds him of his time with Kun Lun, and then he sees Yunlan at the university and time. Stops. His heart nearly follows suit. He doesn’t know what he’s feeling or if he’s even feeling anything, just that the love of his life is for some reason living and breathing right before his eyes. And he doesn’t seem to recognize him at all. But that chemistry still remains

5) This would have a subplot of Shen Wei trying to figure out what exactly happened and whether it was reincarnation or something else, maybe suddenly remember that Kun Lun had been wearing some strange clothing the first time they met, he’d just forgotten in his grief over the years. Tiny details don’t stick around for long

6) Also, in those first few episodes, Yunlan follows Shen Wei around because of suspicion, but Shen Wei also reveals he knows a lot about Dixing to Yunlan in the first episode, which would make more sense if Shen Wei needs to get close to Yunlan in order to understand what he was doing 10K years in the past, so that’s why he’s investigating him and also investigating what the fuck happened 10K years ago

7) Also also, the moment they got back to the present from the time dimension they were in, Yunlan would kiss Shen Wei immediately, right in front of Da Qing, and this time it would be experienced and right and make all the sense in the world, and it would take Shen Wei everything to not crumble under the weight of his elation

7a) “I’m so sorry,” Yunlan would say against his mouth, moving him back into the edge of a gurney, “so so sorry I put you through this, made you wait so long,” and Shen Wei would respond with tears in his eyes that he’d do it a thousand times over if it meant sharing this just one more time

7b) “guys” Da Qing says weakly from the background

useless-shameless-pretty:

When Kunlun met Zeus, Zeus was in mood to talk, as usual.

“So then I saw this pretty little boy toy and I was like, I say! Mate! I have to get this little piece of arse or swallow the Styx trying!” boasted Zeus in his typically exuberant tones, while Kunlun politely sipped his tea and nodded his head to indicate that he’s listening.

Unfortunately.

“So I swooped down majestically from Olympus, and I turned myself into a golden-clawed eagle just for him. Can you imagine the divine favour?”

Kunlun, unfortunately, could. Deep in his heart, he cringed.

“And I walk up to him, all tall, dark and handsome, and caw at him in a manner that is clearly appreciative. And you know what he did? The little ingrate.”

Kunlun would rather not know, but felt he could make an educated guess.

Unfortunately.

“He jumped off a fucking cliff! There was a cliff in there, didn’t I say so before? So anyway, there was the cliff and that little shit just jumped off like there is no tomorrow. Instantly dead of course. So you see? See? How people can’t properly cherish good things in life anymore? We should just send a gigantic flood and be done with it, and start over, I’m telling you.”

Unfortunately you are, thought Kunlun, his face beautiful and immovable like white jade.

“Have you considered assuming a less threatening appearance?” he tried.

“Dude, really. Remember that Europa girl? I turned into this cute white bull for her and yet? She still wouldn’t put out. I’m telling you, mate, nice guys finish last.”

Deep in his heart, Kunlun regretted the Creation.

“Or that other time, I turned into golden rain, very classy, totally posh. Girls love those shiny things, eh? That Danaë chit actually dared to toddle off before the blood on the sheets dried out. So ungrateful.”

For a moment, Kunlun imagined a sea of blood covering Mount Olympus. It was a very gratifying sight.

“So what I’m trying to tell you, mate, is don’t just waffle around. Fuck that little demon boy already. I mean, you know he isn’t getting any younger, right? What are you waiting for? Want him to grow horns or something and get all wrinkly and shit? I’m telling you from experience, like one god to another: this isn’t worth it in the end!”

Deep in the mountains, there was a major earthquake.

“Thank you for you generous advice,” said Kunlun.

It was precisely at this moment that Little Ghost King chose to come back with one of his courting gifts. Blood splattered on the pristine stone mosaic, and a wounded three-headed hyaena gurgled its last breath.

“Whoa, mate! It’s some fucking kinky shit you got here, eh? Fucking kinky! But I’m not judging, man, never judging. A god has his needs, right? Right?”

Far away, an avalanche razed eighty one mountain valleys.

Professor Shen’s Adventures In Babysitting – Chapter 6 – shaenanigans – 镇魂 | Guardian (TV) [Archive of Our Own]

After ridding of his slippers, Shen Wei sits on the mattress and places Yunlan on the sheets, rubbing him down one more time with the towel he’s cocooned in. Once done, he dresses him in his galaxy- patterned onesie, trying not to think too much of the strangeness of their situation

He’s lived for more than 10,000 years. He’s loved and lost and loved and lost and loved Yunlan again. He hasn’t lost him now, won’t lose him again either. This is just a momentary setback.

Finished with Yunlan’s onesie, Shen Wei pats his bottom approvingly and dresses for bed next.

Bright fluorescent lights turn off as the lamp shade by the nightstand flickers on and bathes the bedroom in a warm, soft glow. He picks Yunlan up and climbs in, a pleased groan rumbling in his throat as he sinks into the welcoming softness of their marital bed, long legs stretched out and leaning against a stack of pillows. Yunlan slides down his front until he’s propped half on his shoulder, half on his chest. He kisses Yunlan’s forehead, fingers raking through silky hair, closes his eyes and hums.

Aaaaaaah yes new chapter!!!!!!! Yay waifu!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
