Sunday Snippet

Question: Other than his mentor do we ever see SW interact positively with a male friend or (academic/non-SID) co-worker? Even his two grad students are women.

Last night was annoying (hate it when I can't fall asleep until after midnight) so today is pretty rough but overall it was a better week than the two previous. Even got some writing done. Yesterday was a spanking scene I've been planning for months. It needs a lot of revision but the bones of it are on the page. Snippet is not from that scene:

Later, finally in bed and curled around a sleeping Shen Wei, Zhao Yunlan took a deep breath, pulling in his familiar and comforting scent. Unwilling to imagine the idea of never smelling it again, he risked pressing his nose into Shen Wei’s nape. They’d come a long way from Shen Wei being the one to sit vigil and the Zhao Yunlan who’d surrendered himself to the lantern no longer existed. Not really. Too much had changed, and his physical body was the least of it. He had an uncomfortable feeling that if he ever had to choose between saving the world or his husband, he wasn’t sure it would be the lantern that burned.
