Summary:

When he runs into him at the baths, purely by chance, the first thing Shen Wei notices about him is how gracefully he moves, and he tells himself not to stare. But Shen Wei is alone in the dark doorway leading from the showers to the pools—all the other bathers have come earlier than Shen Wei—so there’s nobody to see him, and he can’t quite restrain himself.

Remix of the first three chapters of mabyn's 'The Singer' from Shen Wei's POV.

Only my third Guardian fic, and the second remix. Apparently I love writing remixes. Surprise! :D I'm very happy that this fandom is so accommodating and that the authors allow me to remix their ideas.

This was the fastest story over 1000 words that I ever wrote.
