For Liushen week day one: unplanned | contact! I’ll be doing my best to update the fic each day this week, but I may not be able to do art for each day because I’ll be traveling!

He had not planned for this – not for romance, and certainly not for Shen Qingqiu. But the feelings are there, obvious now that he has given them thought, and he is not one to back away from any sort of challenge. He will accept them for what they are, regardless of the past.
