Fic: How the Other Half Lives (Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan, complete)

Hi! I just posted the third and final chapter of the last fic in my Taking It Slow series:

How the Other Half Lives (25253 words) by china_shop
Chapters: 3/3
Fandom: 镇魂 | Guardian (TV 2018)
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan
Characters: Zhao Yunlan, Shen Wei (Guardian), Da Qing (Guardian), the Regent, Wu Tianen, The Dixing bartender
Additional Tags: Episode Related, Set during eps 15 and 16, Zhao Yunlan's first trip to Dixing, Haixing-Dixing politics, meta as fic, Worldbuilding, Developing Relationship, Identity Porn, First time (for one of them), Dark-Energy-Powered Sex, Panic Attacks
Series: Part 3 of Taking It Slow
Summary:

Zhao Yunlan expected the Regent of Dixing to be like the Envoy—dignified, robed, and brandishing his power for all to see. And maybe he would have been more of those things if his first introduction to the SID hadn’t been Lao Chu furiously attacking him in the street.

AKA: Zhao Yunlan learns about Dixing politics and gets a crash course in Envoy. (The final part of the Taking It Slow series.)
