@lumidotexe I hope I did Ru some justice- She looks really cute and I thought it was neat our gals have weather controlling abilities- (I didn't fully know if Ru would let others hold her storm tablet-) but I thought it might be neat to have my Gal Lin in her younger Guardian days, have someone kinda similar to talk to about this stuff! There's a lot of questions I could have asked, but I didn't want to send all at once, like Ru's height- though I'm sure she's taller than Lin regardless- ASDFGH

Day 165 of waiting for Bond26 news
Since it's her birthday today, I'm inclined to do an entry on Michelle Yeoh on today's addition to Behind Bond! She was the actress for Wai Lin from Tomorrow Never Dies!
In terms of James Bond, her role was notable for being the first ethnic Chinese Bond girl and she could be considered as Bond's equal in a number of ways! She gained international recognition for the role as well!
Outside of James Bond, she is incredibly acclaimed and has won a myriad of awards! Moreover, she has starred in the film Everything Everywhere All at Once and has done several other roles for notable series!

Summary: Fan Ruoruo didn’t manage to make the first incision—the fact that His Majesty appeared out of nowhere to perform this task is mortifying enough, but it is even more humiliating to think that her brother trusted her to carry out this surgery and she failed the first step.
Note: AO3 link. Spoilers for S2 episode 30.
Fan Ruoruo’s hands don’t stop shaking for another incense stick time. She remains half-sprawled on the floor against the bed, listening to her brother’s light snoring while Lin Wan’er shifts and moves around the room to take care of little things (she hears cups clinking against the marble table, a blanket getting rearranged, towels being folded). Fan Ruoruo doesn’t really pay attention. She is staring at her trembling hands that are starting to become colder and colder.
She didn’t manage to make the first incision—the fact that His Majesty appeared out of nowhere to perform this task is mortifying enough, but it is even more humiliating to think that her brother trusted her to carry out this surgery and she failed the first step. She also couldn’t do it alone. She trained so much, and yet… Did she go in the wrong direction? Had she learned more about medicine beforehand, would she have been able to operate on Fan Xian without his guidance?
“Ruoruo,” Lin Wan’er says gently. “You did a wonderful job.”
Fan Ruoruo glances at Lin Wan’er, blinking several times to fully allow herself to come back to her body. Her sister-in-law is displaying such a calm and serene face, with the only remnant of her earlier anxiety being the tired lines around her eyes. But her smile is genuine.
“You should get some rest. Following all these instructions from Fan Xian must have been hard.”
Fan Ruoruo shakes her head. “Ge shouldn’t have been awake for this… this surgery, or whatever term he uses for what we’ve just done. I know that I was successful, but I can’t help thinking that I should be able to do more.”
Her brother put his faith in her, and Wu Zhu-shu also believes that she is capable of honoring the promise she made to him. Stable hands, yes; Fan Ruoruo will transform any tool in her hands into the best shield to protect her brother. But having such determination and control is almost useless if she doesn’t have the practice and actual experience.
This can’t do. She has to get over herself and see this opportunity as the eye-opening she didn’t realize she needed.
“I need to do better,” she says firmly, exhaling slowly. “And I will.”
Lin Wan’er never stops smiling, as she reaches out and places her hands on top of Fan Ruoruo’s. She squeezes once.
“This is why Fan Xian trusts you so much,” she tells her. “You don’t back down from hardships. It must be a Fan trait.”
A small chuckle escapes Fan Ruoruo. “Yes, that is most likely the case. I think the better explanation is that Ge’s own stubbornness had a big influence on me and Sizhe. His inability to give up rubbed off on us.”
What would her life have looked like had Fan Xian not come to the Capital? Would she have found something to fight for just as ardently? Fan Xian is an important person within the Palace and the political scene, but he also changed his family’s lives for the better. Every day has become unpredictable, chaotic and full of wonders that no one would have imagined possible. Fan Ruoruo wouldn’t want it any other way.
“I feel exactly the same,” Lin Wan’er laughs, rubbing small circles on Fan Ruoruo’s hands. “Fan Xian makes us want to do things we have never thought of before.”
“I’m glad that you found each other,” Fan Ruoruo replies. “You are good for him.”
Lin Wan’er doesn’t say anything in return, but her face softens and her eyes shine brighter. Fan Ruoruo doesn’t doubt that her brother often tells his wife how much she means to him, but hearing about the positive influence she has on him from someone else is probably another sentiment entirely. Fan Ruoruo doesn’t need to see them together to know that they care deeply about each other.
This is another precious thing Fan Ruoruo wants to protect—this happiness that clings on their skin, despite the threats and the malice that surround them. She has the means to help.
Her brother will not die as long as she breathes.
