Sunday Six: Guardian snippet (yep still that)

Cheating a bit as these words were from last week, as this week I've only worked on my fic for the [community profile] sid_guardian 520 exchange, due Monday afternoon.

...Which is. Well. So I had this very clever strategy that I didn't even start it until last weekend, in hopes that hard limit would rein in my tendency toward rapidly expanding wordcounts. Given that the minimum wordcount for this exchange is easygoing 300 words, I figured even I would be okay.

The fic is now 15K words and is not done. It's gonna be a long weekend.

But these words aren't from that; they're from my other thing that I am dying to get back to (I de-stressed a couple days ago by reading over all I had of it, and while I still don't know if anyone else will like it, man but I do...if I had any shame I'd just keep it to myself, but I don't, so.)

Shen Wei didn't blink. Didn't break or lower his locked-on gaze. "I would forgive you," he said.

"Forgive me?"

"If you broke your promise," Shen Wei said. "I would understand."



(now I just gotta decide whether to wait to finish it and post it all at once, or make it a multi-chapter WIP and start posting it now...)

*insert hollow laugh here*

Yes. I know how that goes... *headdesk*

I vote for 'WIP and start posting now,' but only because I'm way too intrigued by the snippets you've posted and am way too impatient to start reading :D

(This snippet is so intriguing, just like every single one you've posted has been. You always post things highly relevant to my interests ;_;)

Intriguing! I suspect it'll come with a lot of 'poor Shen Wei' but, intriguing! :-)
