Jack/Zhao Zi, fluffy relationship shenanigans?

[thisaintbc]

A fresh-faced new baby cop shows up at the station, & somehow Zhao Zi ends up taking him under his wing—& bringing him home for dinner. Jack for once is at a loss for how to deal with this, but he’s pretty sure that his usual solution involving the knife tucked into his boot isn’t going to fly with Zhao Zi.

I’m a sucker for fic involving domestic shenanigans & for the relationship reveal trope, & I kinda love the idea of Jack & Zhao Zi being something of an open secret that no one thought to inform the new guy about. You can take this really any direction you can to—I said fluff in the subject line, & comedic fluff is what I kind of had in mind, but if your muse moves you in an angsty direction I’d love to read that too!

Not sure if/how much these would be relevant here, but standard disclaimer that my squicks include cheating and medical horror/gore?

this could be SUPER FUNNY. not sure how you feel about accidentally evoked jealousy, but imagine if jack has never experienced jealousy before! he's totally caused it as a manipulation strategy - he's a good spy so he knows the uhh, emotional mechanism of it - but never from his own experience. and then he has to identify this strange feeling and figure out how to cope with it :D

i hope someone who's good at writing comedy picks up this bunny!

YESSS, I tried to leave this open ended, but there were a few directions I was kind of thinking someone could take this in for MAXIMUM HILARITY--one was jealousy, like you said (poor poor Jack, experiencing An Emotion), and another was..."Zhao Zi has apparently adopted this kid, and now I'm expected care about TWO people? Unrealistic. Blocked." (Also just a more general "the kid investigates their relationship Very Seriously only to find out that literally everyone else already knew about it" kind of deal, lol.) Really any variation on this could be GREAT imo, and I'm also really excited about the idea of someone with good comedic writing to take it for a spin!

An angsty version could be really great too, though, and I can see a great fic in which Jack and Zhao Zi have to confront some aspect of their relationship that becomes highlighted by the tension introduced by this new person (either because jealousy or him asking questions or w/e). Really there's no bad direction to take this prompt in!!

I haven't--I haven't seen many mainland China shows, although there are a few on my watchlist!--but I googled him and tbh that sounds PERFECT
