taking a quick break from data collection to offer two unsolicited fic recs! these fics are about two different drama adaptations of danmei novels by priest, and i read them years apart, but one strongly reminded me of the other and both made me cry.

家教 - or - Domestic Education (Guardian, Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan)

the hoodie (Justice in the Dark/Mo Du, Fei Du/Luo Wenzhou)

both are post-canon fics about a character who expected his life to be one long string of tragedies now navigating the happy ending he's accidentally found himself in.

also, both feature a husband who's on a work trip and a visit to the in-laws. (i really do think the second fic must have been inspired by the first.)
