Someone has left a child on the front steps of the SID.
read the fic on ao3
what to even say about this fic? this is a fic about coming to terms with your childhood. about the weight a single moment in time can have on your entire life. this is a fic about letting yourself be known, and letting yourself be taken care of. this is a story about being a child around adults who didn't love you, and then an adult around people who do. this is a story, at its core, about our beloved shen wei.
i spent the whole time i was writing this fic hoping it would strike a particular chord for a particular set of readers. if this fic resonates with you, you're one of the people i had in mind as i was writing <3

Zhao Yunlan meets Mrs. Shen three or four times before he meets her husband. The first time as they’re all moving in — What are the chances, both apartments being rented at the same time? asks the landlady next door. And them both moving in on the same day, what a ruckus! That’s Lao Li, who’d let himself be haggled down a hundred dollars a month from the starting price just from A’Hong’s snakelike tenacity. She’s pretty — long dark hair and a cheongsam patterned in orchids. Zhao Yunlan is used to being spoken to first — only. In restaurants, the server turns to him first to order. On the train, the stationmaster asks him instead of A’Hong for their tickets, even though she’s the one who always keeps them in her purse for the both of them. He’s standing next to A’Hong, close enough in the cramped hallway that their shoulders are brushing. Close enough he can smell her perfume. It’s still far enough away that he can see, undoubtedly, the way Mrs. Shen is speaking to A’Hong and A’Hong alone when she says, “I’m glad it’s another young couple moving in next door to us. My husband is away frequently for work, so. I hope we can become — very good friends.”
me? alive? and writing? me????? i'm more surprised than you are, believe me. anyway! this is from the new in the mood for love au i'm picking at and trying to get done for ficwip5k this year -- this snippet is an early attempt by me trying ... desperately ... to figure out the right tone for this thing. the balance of gender roles, atmosphere, character information ...... man. sometimes a movie is so beautiful it's kind of impossible to write fanfiction for it.
