china_shop: A close-up of the Envoy's mouth and chin, with just the bottom edge of his mask in frame. (Guardian - Envoy)
[personal profile] china_shop in [community profile] fan_flashworks
Title: Experiments in Dynamic Translation
Fandom: Guardian (TV)
Rating: E-rated
Length: 9,017 words
Notes: Part of my Breakage and Repair 'verse. In which Shen Wei and I both discover kink from first principles. Much much thanks to [personal profile] teaotter for beta!
(Riddles and conundrums are in the same ballpark, right?)
Tags: Chu Shuzhi/Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan, Established Relationship, Domesticity, Soft D/s, Unplanned/Impromptu Kink, Identity Porn (literal).
Summary: It’s been just over ten weeks since his and Da Qing’s return to the land of the living, and in that time, Shen Wei has not yet had occasion to don his robes of office in front of Shuzhi—or indeed, to conduct any Envoy business at all in his presence. He’s visited the SID once or twice on official matters, but only in Haixing clothes, and he’s been sure to keep his manner light and casual in the public areas. Formal liaising is for the privacy of Zhao Yunlan’s office.

Now, faced with the prospect of a Dixing state dinner, Shen Wei discovers he’s slipped into—not so much keeping secrets as compartmentalising. Again.

Challenge 274:
NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE
It wasn’t the end...but it sure was close.

For a lot of characters, close calls are pretty common – whether they’re fighting dragons, visiting aliens, or traveling through magic wastelands, they deal with a lot of dangers. But even then, actual near-death experiences are pretty rare.

What happened? Did your characters witness some kind of afterlife, or something else entirely, or nothing at all? How did they survive?

Write a story about a near-death experience.

BONUS GOAL: “Please, stay with me.”

If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!


Challenge ends Monday, September 22 at 9:00PM EST.
• Post submissions as new entries using the template in the profile
• Tag this week's entries as: [#] submission, 274 – near-death experience

Good (insert your local time of day)! Hope all is doing well!

How has writing gone today?

Do you have a piece of fiction you've written 10+ years ago that you want to revisit? It doesn't necessarily need to be in the sense of wanting to rewrite it or write a sequel.
