Summary: <blockquote>The System offers Shen Qingqiu the ability to transport his consciousness back in time to fix past mistakes.</blockquote> ➤ due to System shenanigans sqq travels back in time to when he first encountered lbh in jinlan city post-abyss ➤ sqq does his best to make things go differently this time, within the parameters of the genre "h/c fic" which the system tells him he is now in ➤ I'm just! so delighted by so much about this fic! ➤ and I love how the fic plays metatextually with its own fourth wall in ways I haven't really seen much in svsss fic before! ➤ fic is a WIP; currently there are 14k words; satisfying to read as is at the moment

<blockquote>Jiang Cheng was getting better at controlling his outbursts. He didn’t often bother, but he wanted a good deal on the saffron silk so he bit back the first furious bellow that threatened to escape him. “He’s dead," he bit out. “At the siege at Nightless City.” He didn’t clarify which siege as old man Guo seemed to be one of the ten or so remaining people in the world who didn’t know Wei Wuxian had been the Yiling Patriarch. He expected condolences and to be honest it would be nice, just once, if someone’s response to that revelation was something other than ‘well, good.’ Jiang Cheng’s anger at Wei Wuxian burned hot and cold. Most of the time he wanted to stab him properly. Other times the thing he couldn’t forgive was Wei Wuxian tearing free of Lan Wangji’s grip. Old man Guo just blinked in confusion. “Is he?” He scratched the back of his neck. “I must have beThe Porcelain Lotus of Yunmeng - The Feels Whale (miscellea)en mistaken. Well that explains it, I suppose. I’d wondered why he didn’t recognize me.” Or: that one where Wei Wuxian doesn't die at the Siege of Nightless City and Jiang Cheng finds him first.</blockquote> ➤ series consists of: The Porcelain Lotus of Yunmeng A Place for Fury ➤ the individual stories are complete but the series is not, and it does not feel done as a narrative

<blockquote>Oh no! Liu Qingge has been inflicted with a dastardly poison, one that will slowly and painfully liquefy his organs if he doesn't dual cultivate with someone soon! Thankfully, the good doctor Mu Qingfang is here to save his most frequent patient... however a few difficulties arise: for every partner the victim has been with, this most sinister poison, Blinders for Wandering Eyes, becomes all the more deadly! One would think the austere and proud lord of Bai Zhan peak would have no problem with such a substance, and yet...</blockquote> ➤ series consists of: For Want of a Vacation Pay it Forward Concessions Just trus(s)t me Bronze mirror [wip through ch1] Burn away the chill The Process of Elimination Follow-Up Appointment

<blockquote>Liu Qingge and Shen Qingqiu have a bit of trouble with a succubus nest. This becomes Mu Qingfang's problem in a big way. OR Life as a medical professional in a world riddled with aphrodisiacs is hard, especially when you're half in love with a patient.</blockquote> ➤ the sex pollen stuff is just one small ordinary part of the world they live in, and the series as a whole is about the complexities of mqf & lqg's relationship over the whole course of their knowing each other, and it's all GREAT. So far it goes up to the five years of sqq being dead. ➤ series consists of: Oral History Objects of Affection

<blockquote>There were three things of which Shen Yuan was absolutely certain. The first, that Luo Binghe was an irredeemable jackass. The second, there was a part of Luo Binghe, and Shen Yuan didn't know how large, that wanted Shen Yuan dead for trussing him like a pig and dumping him on his own front porch. And the third, that Shen Yuan was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with Luo Binghe. P S Y C H !</blockquote> ➤ the one where sqq is a grouchy hermit immortal heavenly demon who lbh keeps pestering. fic 1 of the series is complete, but it ends on a cliffhanger, and fic 2 isn't posted yet. ➤ series consists of: Loaded God Complex, Cock It And Pull It

<blockquote>Alternatively the 'Game of Thrones' AU? Wherein Shen Jiu is the bastard son of the lauded Shen family.</blockquote> ➤ part 2 at https://archiveofourown.org/works/17041973/chapters/108442984

<blockquote>It was the first time James had seen Y’suf in nearly two Turns, since his best Harper – for intelligence as much as song – had gone to a Hatching at Ista Weyr and never come back, suddenly thrust into a new life as a brown dragonrider.</blockquote> ➤ a pern au where the characters are working on fixing all the oogy gender and sexuality stuff that goes on in the canon! beautiful ➤ so far: A Queen Weyr Flying Free Out Of The Blue Piece By Fragile Piece

<blockquote>This started off as a one-time shitpost I began writing while I waited for someone to get out of the bathroom. Before I realized what was happening, it had spiraled into an ongoing and deeply self-indulgent comedy gay romance novella. I'm having fun here. The space emperor is the tyrannical dictator of the observable universe, complacent on his palatial pleasure-planet. Little did he know that the power of gay love and an excess of pulpy sci-fi tropes would change the course of his life....... forever........</blockquote> ➤ this starts off silly and then very quickly becomes very serious about its silliness in a really delightful way. It's still a wip but ch14 convinced me I need to bookmark it now already -- that chapter is an incredible stand-alone story just on its own tbh and I had feelings ➤ (read through ch15 as of last checking)

<blockquote>Pharyn Heir Lorelei Steddart sits at the conference table where she will negotiate her marriage. In front of her is a leather folder filled with notes, assumptions, expectations. There are no photos. No dossiers. She should be afraid for her future, but it’s hard to focus; even her nerves can’t pierce through the dull wrap of grief that has swaddled tight around her for the past six months.</blockquote> ➤ this is so interesting and I love it. Apparently it's “a modified excerpt from an in-progress work" so maybe someday I might get to read more of it?????? stands alone as is though too!

<blockquote>“No,” Jaskier sighed. “This is the thing, Geralt. I’m middle-aged and tired and I just think I’d rather meet death sitting down and facing it rather than from behind while I’m running. You know?” He contemplated that a moment, and finally added, “Especially if it’s you.”</blockquote> ➤ this series is a DELIGHT and I LOVE IT and I love how it's like.....it's about a lot more than just the will-they-won't-they of the romantic/sexual relationship(s), it's about a whole interconnected series of people caring about each other to varying degrees of complexity and I love it all, the way these people and their lives feel properly lived in anyway it's a wip but what exists so far is: Meet Death Sitting The Miraculous Sisterhood Along Came This Song Innermost Depths The Ancient Sea Warmth Little Fishie Fugitive Forty Dangerous Comforts What Mages Are Like Learning Experiences (wip through ch 1 at last check) Aretuza Craftsmanship

<blockquote>Like most Republic citizens, the Naberries have never spent much time thinking about the Jedi. But that changes with the birth of their daughter Ilaré. (Or, the AU where the third Naberrie daughter is a Jedi, Padmé offers Naboo as a sanctuary for runaway slaves, Shmi is a conductor on the Tatooine freedom trail, and Anakin jump starts a reformation. Or maybe a heresy. It all depends on your point of view.)</blockquote> ➤ wip through part 17 so far

<blockquote>"I don’t know how this happened. I don’t yet know why. But this is definitely Anakin’s fault." Obi-Wan Kenobi, Jedi Master, Exile, and now Force Ghost, was pleased with the way things had turned out. The Sith were dead. His padawan had returned to the Light. And Luke Skywalker was beginning to lay the foundation for his new Jedi Order. And while Luke, Leia, Han, and the Rebellion cleaned up the last traces of the Empire on the physical plane, he and Anakin would devote the next stage of their afterlives to repairing the damage Sidious and his ilk wrought on the Force itself. At least, that was the plan. After a disaster on the cosmic scale that Obi-Wan is still trying to wrap his mind around, he finds himself back in the early days of the Clone Wars, Commander Cody loyally at his side, Anakin at his back, and Sidious plotting against the Jedi at every turn. He's been given an unasked for chance to do everything over again. And with the Force as his ally, he intends to set the galaxy on a brighter path than the one it's currently on.</blockquote> ➤ through part 2 as of last checking

<blockquote>The London season of 1814 finds itself descended upon by a veritable horde of dragons--and their eligible captains. Shameless Regency trash. Tags, characters, and relationships to be added as they become relevant.</blockquote> ➤ wip through part 4

<blockquote>His dragon taken from him, William Laurence leaves the service with little more than a bitter grudge against aviators and his Majesty's government. Slave ships and traders learn to fear his black flag; port towns on the African coast and Portuguese Brazil tremble when they hear rumors of his presence. Yet, inexplicably, he begins to set his target on dragon transports-and one moonless night the Allegiance, bound for China, finds itself under raid. Tags, characters, and pairings to be added as they become relevant.</blockquote> ➤ STILL DEVASTATED ABOUT LEVITAS. Also everything else about this fic. I'm really curious to see where it's going next! ➤ wip through part 7

<blockquote>Being an account, in pastiche style, of a boy whose story may or may not be the embodiment of the hero’s journey, and who therefore encounters a call to adventure, a wise advisor, a mystical weapon, a road of trials, a rogue, a princess, and a villain (in that order); and who, over the course of fighting an evil empire, finds himself attaining his goals, both symbolic and literal. In space.</blockquote> ➤ HOLY SHIT THIS FIC. Apparently the author intends to write the entirety of the original trilogy of star wars in this style but even if they never get around to the rest of it I can die happy because as it is this is 17k words about Ben Kenobi and the history of Tatooine in the style of the digression about the Bishop that starts Les Mis and IT'S SO GOOD.

<blockquote>A series of one-shots set in a universe where Vader turned double agent for the Rebellion about three years after ROTS, and Leia is now his primary contact with the Rebellion.</blockquote> ➤ I was surprised by how into this fic I was! Because I am the most predictable person, though, my favourite thing is the slave folk stories from Tatooine about the trickster figure Ekkreth. But really everything is great. ➤ 20 parts as of last checking (Feb 2020, but last updated in 2017): Shape-Changer Words in the Heart (Words in the Heart) Cannot Be Taken The Slave Who Makes Free Decryption Codes A Larger World The Emperor's Speech Optimal Functioning Trickster Steals the Moon Flowers for the Emperor Bedrock The Only Verdict Aftermath Trophies Children of the Force Empire Day The Unstolen Child Rocks and Water Sometimes as Many as Seven Apology Accepted

<blockquote>Aleksa thinks it's about time she met this hypothetical boyfriend of Jupiter's. (Aleksa's maybe at least a little bit more prepared for this meeting than Jupiter probably thinks.)</blockquote> ➤ wip through ch7 as of last checking

<blockquote>Hakoda found the boy in the ice eight days before Kya went into labor. Avatar!Katara AU.</blockquote> ➤ !!!!!!!!!!!! ➤ Probably when I finally get around to watching A:tlA I will have trouble believing Aang is really the avatar because I've internalized this fic so much but I DON'T EVEN CARE, THIS IS AMAZING FOREVER. ➤ The first two books of the series are complete, out of a projected four, so it ends with the overarching plot not actually concluded, but it is a satisfying read nonetheless as it stands. Also really long. Imagine The Ocean - Book One Listen to the Earth - Book Two Carry the Flame - Book Three (wip through part 2) ➤ As of December 2019 the author is saying in comments that they intend to keep writing so it's not abandoned yet.
