--From a cut story snippet, ah of course! (which story out of curiosity, or is it not posted yet?) --also putting them in a separate doc is a clever idea. I always just stick my cut lines at the end of whatever doc they're in and then they mostly get forgotten...
Shen Wei using his powers in small personal ways is a headcanon I love for him, just, he's got all that power but the weight of its responsibility is so heavy for him, for him to just get a little selfish pleasure out of them is good for me (...for Shen Wei, of course, "selfish pleasure" is mostly doing nice things for Zhao Yunlan...)
but we can also see from the steels himself that it isn't easy for Shen Wei to hold back like that.
I tweaked that line trying to go for just this, so, yes, I'm very happy to know it came across!
And Shen Wei's POV, ahhh...that he can be brutally honest with himself and yet get so much completely wrong about himself too, ahhh, I love him too much for it! But Zhao Yunlan sees him truly anyway, even if Shen Wei can't always believe that, can't believe that he can be glowing good figure Zhao Yunlan sees.
And it helps me deal with the ending of the show - this is why he looks back.
Yessssssss I am sure of this. Because Shen Wei will always do what needs to be done, what it's his responsibility to do, and Zhao Yunlan knows this, it's one of the reasons he loves him...but Shen Wei does still have his own heart, and it does always wants...
(also I choose to believe this is all Shen Wei's pessimism anyway and they are actually in a proper timeline where they live!! and uh, yeah...I love the angst and knives but not-so-secretly I love happy endings even more, so... ^^;;;)
But thank you -- for the inspiring prompt and for this amazing comment (the repeated edits were so flattering, really, seeing you come back to this just made my morning!)
