Guardian episode 36

So I've gone into this largely unspoiled, except for an understanding that the ending is sad and there is a lot of fix-it and everyone lives AU fanfic. Which means I'm basically expecting the worst every time I watch an episode now. But it also means that I don't know what's going to happen, so it's all exciting and new and amazing.

And honestly, I can deal with all the tragedy (I think) if every episode gives me at least one good Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan moment (Weilan? Is this the ship portmanteau I'm looking for?). And the great thing is that it usually gives me plenty of them, not just one "squint if you look for it" moment, so I'm generally happy even while I'm also terribly sad and hockeybosh and I are texting each other crying emojis.

(Usually the crying emojis are Guo-related. Why do they hurt our precious baby so?)

And so, we braced for impact and watched episode 36.
