LINKDING

summary: It was one thing to know what his qi felt like in his meridians–although he didn’t know what his neili was called, only that it had a name–and to know that, if he started running his sword forms, his arms and legs would guide him where his mind couldn’t. Muscle memory felt familiar. Reliable. But this? This free-floating knowledge, not connected with any event, any memory, any movement or motion? Just facts appearing in his mind? Assertions he was supposed to accept unquestioningly as truth? With no memory of how he learned them? Nothing to prove their validity? He clenched his hand around his dao’s scabbard. There had to be a better way than this. ➤ I didn't notice the "missing scene" tag on this fic, it ends without the pov character having learned much of anything about himself or his history and relationships, because canon covers it! I'm left as in the dark as I began! ➤ if you're familiar with mysterious lotus casebook you may enjoy this fic, and if like me you're not familiar with the canon but you have fun being confused, you also may enjoy this fic! ➤ ft. two men with an ambiguous fraught-yet-intimate history between them, connecting as best they can while one of them doesn't know what's going on because of amnesia. Includes wound tending and bed sharing, and sexual interest that isn't acted upon!

Summary: <blockquote>Shen Qingqiu wakes up in his plant body after Huayue City. There is only one problem: Memory loss.</blockquote> ➤ an SVSSS bingqiu fanfic wherein sqq wakes up in his plant body with amnesia and makes a home in the small village nearby, blessing its crops ➤ lbh eventually comes through looking for his shizun, and sqq helps him ➤ trying to find the right words to describe the tone or flavour of a piece of writing can be so hard but imo that's one of the things this fic does best! it's got this like....distanced, fairy-tale, dreamy vibe that really drives home how disconnected sqq is from his life and his emotions here and it's so great ➤ (happy ending, of course!) ➤ 5k words in length

<blockquote>yue qingyuan is a simple farmer. he is strong, dependable, tills the fields well - that's why the old man who found him wandering the forests left the farm to him. he only knows his name because it was embroidered on the money pouch he carried. he has no idea what came before.</blockquote> ➤ seems to be abandoned unfinished, but I love what there is

<blockquote>“The last thing I remember, I was at Meiling. I don’t remember this ambush you’re talking about. We were fighting Da Yu. Winning.” Lin Shu scrubbed a hand across his face. “Now they told me everyone thinks I’m a traitor and if anyone sees me, I’ll be arrested and killed… it’s ridiculous. That can’t really have happened. Even if someone framed us, the Emperor would figure out we were innocent in the end.” “I’m sorry,” Jingyan said. “It’s true. The Emperor believed everything.” Lin Shu was quiet, considering. “Wait,” Jingyan said. “Who’s ‘they’?” Or, the one where a young Lin Shu shows up out of nowhere and leaves Jingyan doubting the truth of what's happened in the past twelve years--and especially doubting his closest advisor.</blockquote> ➤ ahhhhh this is mostly AMAZING. the ending feels like it's lacking something to feel like it's a proper resolution and ending point for the story, but everything up to that point is perfect. And a good ending is hard to write!

<blockquote>Anna, and how she searches throughout the years.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Tony waved a hand at him, a hurry up motion. "Start with why you thought I'd, um, be there this morning." He blushed, which was distractingly attractive. "Because you usually are," Lee said. "You were there when I went to sleep last night and we said we'd drive in together this morning. Remember?" "No." Tony shook his head, eyes wide. "And you think I'm usually there, because you think, um…?" "We're together," Lee said. "Obviously." Tony just stared at him. "No," he said, voice somehow cracking in the middle of a two letter word. "We're not."</blockquote>

<blockquote>Murderbot is at a party. This is not a normal state of affairs for SecUnits. Neither is the comfy clothes or the sitting or the way the humans keep smiling in its general direction. The smiling, it suspects, will stop, if/when they realise their SecUnit has suffered some sort of catastrophic glitch and has no idea where it is or the specifics of its current assignment. So it's not going to let them find out.</blockquote> ➤ yessss

<blockquote>Shen Qingqiu opened his arms, but Binghe didn’t run to him. Instead, he hesitantly took a single step forward. “Teacher, I have a question for you.” “Of course, Binghe,” Shen Qingqiu said. “Anything.” Binghe was such a diligent student. “I’m,” Binghe began. He seemed to lack his usual confidence lately. “Teacher, what if I wasn’t dead?” / Shen Qingqiu’s very normal, very dead disciple Luo Binghe has been visiting him in his dreams. And there’s been a surge in demonic activity. And all of his disciples think he’s losing it. He’s coping. </blockquote> ➤ fun vibes
