Feb. 7th, 2021 02:54 pmI can't decide which of my projects I should actually work on today (and have spent several hours procrastinating a decision because apparently that's how today is gonna go), so here is a snippet from "Mismatched" my Zhao Yunlan/Shen Wei soulmate AU:
****
“This cat is very intelligent,” the man says without glancing up.
The soulmark on Zhao Yunlan’s left arm flares white-hot, like a brand seared into his skin. It hurts, but it doesn’t at the same time, nearly unbearable but so intense it’s kind of good. He almost chokes on his own breath and only barely stops himself from clenching his hand into a fist. His heart is pounding and he shifts his weight a little to hide the sudden tightness in his jeans. His eyes are glued to the man’s face, to the flush of pink in his cheeks, the way his lashes flutter as he glances down at Da Qing, then back up at Zhao Yunlan.
