We can't reply as this account to replies on our posts (asks are better for direct questions fyi), but we didn't want to ignore a direct, reasonable question. @queenfriday17 asked (on our Call to Action post):
Thanks for the clear and explanatory post! I read a little about two linked examples of racism in fandom â the colonizer wangxian and the holocaust omega verse. If AO3 made the changes that you are advocating for, how would that affect those fics, for example? Would they be reported as extreme racism or harassment, and taken down due to a new TOS? Or would they need an archive warning for racism? Or something else? Just trying to understand more. Thank you!
This is mostly covered by our FAQs. But we'd like to emphasize that final decisions are up to the OTW/AO3. We anticipate that any changes to the TOS and the Abuse policies/procedures will be developed in line with their existing policies, and by consulting both experts and existing best practices regarding progressive/inclusive content policies.
We are just holding them accountable to their promises to make changes, not dictating the details of how those changes are implemented (they have plenty of resources to find solutions to the problems that they themselves have admitted exist), nor are we asking for them to develop anything radically out of line with their existing policies/procedures.
We know what the problems are. We've seen the results of what allowing unchecked harassment have done to fans of color and antiracist allies. We know that they've promised to do better. We're just asking them to follow through. How they do so is up to them.

Hi! I saw the prompt post. Idk if youâre into kid fics, feel free to ignore! I would love Shen Wei/ Yunlan, established relationship, with a lil kid =) Thank you!
Since I have never ever written a kid fic, all my first attempts turned rather silly, so I had to change the situation a bit.
I had to make the kid a bit older (imagine her about 13) and throw them into a situation where they could be super-dads đ
I hope you like it regardless. đ
A million thanks to @mllorei for pushing me to write a proper ending.

Learning to fly
âHello, is this Chief Zhao Iâm talking to? I couldn't reach Professor Shen, thatâs why Iâm calling you instead. Itâs about Jia.â
Zhao Yunlan had to hold onto the edge of his desk. With only this one sentence the school secretary had said, a myriad of scenarios whirled through his brain, one more horrible than the other.
âYesâ, he managed, âspeaking. Did something happen to my daughter?â
There was a pause on the line that made his knees buckle. Eventually he heard: âHow fast can you be here?â
Zhao Yunlan didnât even bother to answer. He ended the call, flung the file he had read before on the sofa and sprinted out of his office, through the bullpen and was out of the door before anyone of his team could as much as blink.
The ride to Jiaâs school was the worst seventeen minutes of his life. He tried to call Shen Wei a dozen times, but to no avail, and finally sent him a voice message. The answering silence was almost too much to bear, his mind racing and his hands sweaty.
When he arrived at the school, he just left the jeep at the entrance â they hopefully would recognize it as an SID vehicle â and sprinted up the stairs to the principalâs office.
Upon entering the corridor he almost fainted with relief. Outside the office, on a wooden chair sat his daughter; a grim expression on her face, eyes red, her black hair an angry cloud around her head. Her t-shirt â her favourite, the superhero one â had a large dirt stain on the shoulder. Next to her Zhao Yunlan noticed three more students, looking equally mangled. All four turned their heads when he entered, the boys staring curiously at him, while Jiaâs face lit up in visible relief. He smiled at her, and before he could knock on the door, it opened and the schoolâs principal appeared, seemingly stressed and thoroughly furious. He glared at Zhao Yunlan and waved him in, nodding at Jia to follow.
When they both had sat down, he took a meaningful breath and looked accusingly at Zhao Yunlan.
âChief Zhaoâ, he began. âI am well aware of the fact that our government has made an effort to welcome all Dixingren here in Haixing, and show them they areâ, he made a dramatic pause and cleared his throat, âaccepted here, but thisâ, he waved a hand at Jia, âis too much. I wonât accept this!â
Zhao Yunlan raised an eyebrow. âFirst of all, I would appreciate it if you didnât call my kid an âitâ.â He sat up straighter. âAnd secondly, I have no idea what you are talking about.â
Jia, who hadnât said anything, looked down at her lap. Zhao Yunlan reached over, taking one of her hands in his, brushing his thumb over her knuckles.
The principal inhaled meaningfully, probably in order to continue his tirade, but Zhao Yunlan just fixed the other man with a death glare that he normally reserved for unwilling suspects. âJust tell me what happened. Slowly.â
The principal huffed indignantly and looked condescendingly at Jia, who still hadnât moved. âThat...kid of yoursâ, he said grandly, âhas endangered and traumatized other students.â Zhao Yunlan raised an eyebrow, but stayed silent and motioned him to go on. âShe has used her powers on them! She could have killed them! She is to be expelled, I am not ââ
Zhao Yunlan silenced him with a wave of his hand, turned to the girl and gave her hand a reassuring squeeze. âYou tell me.â
Jia inhaled shakily and looked at him, balled fists, barely holding back tears. âThey were bullying A-Yao againâ, she said angrily. âI just wanted to help him, Baba. I told them to stop, but they laughed at me. And then they asked what I wanted to do, and then one of them shoved me, andâŠ.â She took a shaky breath. âAnd then I made a shield, like Da showed me. They kept hitting it and it kindaâŠbackfired?â She was close to crying again and Zhao Yunlan stroked her head. âItâs alright, darling, you didnât do anything wrongâ, he assured her.
At that, the principal bristled and loudly cleared his throat. âExcuse me,â he began, but before he could say anything more, the air next to his desk began to sizzle, a portal flickering into existence. Before it had fully materialized, Shen Wei stepped through it so hurriedly that he almost collided with the desk, while the teacher next to him squealed in shock and pressed a hand to his mouth.
Shen Wei shot Zhao Yunlan an alarmed look, then let his eyes wander over his daughter, taking in her tousled hair and red eyes and frowned. âI received your messageâ, he explained shortly, âand came as soon as I did. What is so urgent?â
The principal apparently saw a chance to save his case. âYour daughter,â he pointed a finger at the girl, âhas used herâŠmagicâ, he spat out the word with visible disgust, âon other students and almost killed them! This kind of ââ He interrupted himself suddenly, because Shen Wei had taken a step closer, looming over the smaller man with a withering glare. In the following silence, he turned around and raised a questioning eyebrow at Zhao Yunlan, who just shrugged. âShe protected someone with a shield and the recoil hit them when they kept throwing punchesâ, he explained.
Shen Wei turned back to the principal, a dangerous glint in his eyes. âYou call me here for an emergency, just to tell me that my daughter heroically saved another student from some bullies â which would have been your obligation â and you want to punish her for it?â Before the other man could get a word in, he continued, ice in his voice. âIsnât it more likely that you areâŠbiased in that situation because of my daughterâs heritage?â He took another step closer. âBecause of my heritage?â
The principal shrunk further into his chair, shaking his head furiously. âNo, Hei Pao Shi, no, I would never ââ Shen Wei interrupted him. âThen I take it we are finished with this matter. I expect you to punish the bullies that almost hurt my daughter.â The man wilted further, but didnât object as Shen Wei took his daughterâs hand and nodded to Zhao Yunlan, who had grinned silently at the exchange. With his free hand, he waved a portal into existence and the three of them stepped through.
When they emerged in their living room, Shen Wei turned around, pulling the girl in a tight embrace. Pressing her face into his chest, she couldn't suppress the sobs anymore. Zhao Yunlan stepped closer and hugged both of them from the other side, soothingly stroking Jiaâs hair.
âHey, darling, itâs alright. Shh, youâre safe now.â She hitched a breath and nuzzled into her fatherâs chest. âOf course I'm safe, I..I...I could have kicked their asses!"
He grinned. âYou did! I am proud of you. You stood up for a friend, thatâs what superheroes do, right?â
Jia snuffled and wiped her nose at Shen Weiâs shirt, tightening her arms around him. He smiled affectionately at her, his hand reaching for Zhao Yunlanâs waist to pull him closer into the hug. When the girl pulled away to look up at him, he met her gaze.
"But⊠but Da, I⊠I used my powers. And you told me not to. I..."
"It's okay. You didn't do anything wrong here, sweetheart." With Shen Wei stroking her back, Jia snuggled back into the embrace and let out a sigh.
 After Jia had changed â and Zhao Yunlan had remembered the jeep still in the school parking lot and sheepishly had asked his husband to portal him there to get it â, they sat down for an early dinner. Jia was still tucked under Zhao Yunlanâs arm, while Shen Wei filled her bowl with her favourite pieces.
When she dug in, they smiled at each other over her head and Zhao Yunlan leaned in to press a kiss to his husbandâs lips.
âYou know, Hei Pao Shi, that was really hot how you crushed the principalâ, he whispered loudly against Shen Weiâs cheek.
âYunlan!â
âEww!â
Zhao Yunlan laughed at the outraged expression on both their faces and pressed a kiss to his daughterâs hair, then one to Shen Weiâs nose.

Thank you friends; I think I need to write a bit more to exorcise the plot bunny lol. At least get him to meet Charles and some of the others at the Manor yes? (And maybe just a taste of the kinky sex).
queenfriday17 replied to your post âAre there any volunteers out there to come make me tea and watch...â
Oooh which period dramas? I'm sure they'll help =)
Period dramas always help!! North and South is a true fave, but Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth is a pretty unbeatable classic... then again, itâs ages since I watched Little Dorrit and I think I remember quite enjoying that one?? Ohhhhh, but the ending of Wives and Daughters is sooooo beautifullllll ahhh. ALL OF THEM. IâM FORGETTING LOADS OF THEM RIGHT NOW. weâll watch them alllllll!!!Â
