summary: “Please, oh wise master,” Shang Qinghua says, clapping his hands together and bowing his head deferentially, “how does this lowly one build up the courage to stick his dick into the bear trap after it has already snapped shut on him once before?” “He bit it?” Shen Qingqiu asks in fascinated horror, eyes immediately sinking down to Shang Qinghua’s crotch. “Metaphorically!” Shang Qinghua corrects. “Figuratively!

Summary: Just months before the Immortal Alliance Conference, Luo Binghe discovers the cure to Without-a-Cure. With his own heritage still sealed and mostly unknown to him, there seems to be only one solution: Shen Qingqiu must receive the cure from the last known Heavenly Demon, Tianlang-Jun, even if it means that Luo Binghe has to grit his teeth and set his precious Shizun up with another man. Shen Qingqiu does not want to receive the cure from Tianlang-Jun. He doesn't particularly want to receive anything from Tianlang-Jun. Shen Qingqiu somehow ends up fake-dating Tianlang-Jun anyway, if only to swindle the System into delaying the Endless Abyss plot for as long as he can. ➜ svsss canon divergence au fic ➜ luo binghe, not yet aware he's a heavenly demon specifically, discovers the cure for Without-A-Cure....and is determined to get shen qingqiu the cure. from tianlang-jun. ➜ and goddamn this whole fic is SO much fun?!

Whether or not Binghe liked it. or, Binghe's first steps to getting back onto Qing Jing Peak. ➤ svsss post-canon bingqiu fic ➤ lbh realises that sqq needs more enrichment in his life. he needs to be able to go back to qing jing ➤ therefore lbh needs to make it possible for lbh to be allowed back at cang qiong again! ➤ he goes about this in the most luo binghe way possible ➤ as always, tshirt's sense of comic timing in this fic is PERFECT omg ➤ I love it ➤ 1k words in length

Summary: If Shizun was hoping to hide his mysterious visitor from his peak, his edict for everyone to leave and not remark on her made it impossible for her to go unremarked on. Ming Fan was currently scurrying around, punishing anyone who suggested anything untoward was possibly happening. This mostly meant people waited to gossip until he was gone. The leading theory was that the woman was from one of the brothels Shizun was rumored to have frequented in the past. Luo Binghe had never seen any evidence that this rumor was true (he was actually concerned that Shizun didn’t know what sex was), so he’d dismissed the claims as slander. Then a woman had prostrated herself at the bottom of the stairs of Cang Qiong and begged that a message be delivered to all on the mountain. It was urgent, she said. She could not say more at this time, but lives depended on the right person hearing these words. “What is the message?” a disciple had asked. The woman raised her head. “Beyonce,” she had said clearly. “Internet. The general concept of astronauts.” ➤ svsss fic featuring another transmigrator coming to qing jing during the pre-abyss era, to talk to sqq about how to derail the plot ➤ I love her perspective on the whole experience! and how baffling sqq finds her desires and priorities ➤ the whole fic is very funny! ➤ 6k words

Summary: Luo Binghe did not win his place at Shen Yuan's side easily. It took countless tries - countless attempts at entering an iteration of Shen Yuan's world only to find that the 'Shen Yuan' there was destined to transmigrate into a world with a different 'Luo Binghe.' This is fine, though, because Luo Binghe has finally managed to find a Shen Yuan of his own. He's managed to get close to him, even, to form a relationship so sticky sweet that it makes Luo Binghe want to carefully cut open his chest and place Shen Yuan inside so that they might press themselves so close to each other. What Luo Binghe witnessed in the past - the death and transmigration of so many 'Shen Yuans' - is fine. And then /his/ Shen Yuan catches a cold. ➤ reverse transmigration! original luo binghe has been searching for a shen yuan who can be HIS, when the other shen yuans he's found have all immediately died and transmigrated to love a different luo binghe. ➤ luo binghe doesn't want anything to take his shen yuan away!!!!! then shen yuan gets a cold. luo binghe worries. ➤ so cute and so them! <3 ➤ I love all the ways these two have come to know each other and love each other in all their realness. how ridiculous they are about each other! how mad binghe is about all the dangers and unpleasantness of the modern world (because it might injure his shen yuan!!!) ➤ you've fucked up a perfectly good protagonist. look at him. he's got anxiety~ ➤ 5k words

Summary: Airplane-bro, I'm tired of filling in all your plot holes!!! Shen Qingqiu writes, and then pauses, brush held dangling over the page. ➤ endless abyss era svsss ➤ sqq writing angry notes to sqh about his worldbuilding, sqh accusing sqq of pulling his pigtails to get his attention ➤ god I love these emotionally constipated nerds <3 ➤ 1k words

summary: They say he may ascend and reach immortality, come the rumors. Sect Leader Yue is so powerful- perhaps he is ready to transcend this world. The very idea leaves Shen Qingqiu cold and nauseous with anger. Escape this world? Yue Qingyuan can’t be allowed to. ➤ pre-canon/canon divergence maybe? in which original sqq hears a rumour that yqy is going to ascend, and he'll do anything to keep that from happening ➤ it's SO them <3 all tangled up in each other, terribly possessive, unable to communicate like normal people, I love them ➤ content notes: dubcon, babytrapping attempt ➤ 2k words

summary: Liu Qingge pursues a demonic presence and is startled by who he encounters. ➤ Liu Qingge meets a demonic Liu Qingge. Tianlang-jun is unhelpful. ➤ very fun and funny, I love Liu Qingge's opinions on his demonic alternate self - and what you can gather about what demon Liu Qingge thinks about this human version of himself! ➤ also the brief glimpse of alternate sqq is glorious and I want to know more ➤ 1k words in length

Summary: Luo Binghe is afflicted by a very specific curse with an even more specific cure.

Summary: On the desk in between Yue Qingyuan and Shen Qingqiu was a printout of the email. Shen Qingqiu refused to look at it. If he tried very hard, he could pretend it wasn’t there. When the email had hit his inbox this morning, Shen Qingqiu had read it and reread enough to have it memorized, as he tried to comprehend the meaning of these words arranged in this order. The second that comprehension dawned upon him, he’d deleted the email then promptly tried to forget everything about it. He wasn’t being very successful on that front. The message, written with the extraordinary eloquence that Shen Qingqiu knew Luo Binghe was capable of, had been sent en masse to the entire faculty and student body. It stated two main points. Firstly, that Luo Binghe attested that Shen Qingqiu had never slept with, assaulted, molested, groomed, or was in any way inappropriate to him during his time at Cang Qiong Academy (thanks for the endorsement, Binghe!!). Secondly, that Luo Binghe was announcing this because he intended to marry Shen Qingqiu and did not want even the whisper of false impropriety to stain his Shizun’s name. ➤ cackling with delighted laughter over this svsss bingqiu modern au ➤ these complete weirdos!!! (affectionate) ➤ lbh, a former student of sqq who has since become an international superstar, sends a mass email announcing his interest in sqq. sqq is more worried about his old student's feelings being hurt than he is about the evident stalking the email reveals ➤ the fic is so funny, with so many perfect details. and the last line!!! I'm dead. ➤ 6k words in length

Summary: Cang Qiong Mountain Sect AU - no Binghe and no Shen Yuan, just the original sect siblings being fundamentally dysfunctional without any outside help. “Shidi.” Yue Qingyuan breathed. He would burn cities for him. Only he never did. Yue Qingyuan makes the mistake of inviting Shen Jiu back to his house for tea. Tea and emotional torture. Nothing is said. Nothing will ever be said. ➤ hello I am murdered by how on point this fic is, it's perfect and I adore it ➤ svsss au qijiu fic from og!sqq's pov ➤ (trans sqq, for those to whom that's enticement!) ➤ no lbh or transmigration, so the complex relationships between the various peak lords keep marinating over decades ➤ I love how the vibes are so much older, more grounded and more ground down at the same time. and still sqq and yqy are full of all their Problems ➤ I loved the evolving beliefs sqq had about what must have happened to fill yqy with endless guilt towards him! ➤ and the ways sqq treats yqy, before and after the reveals...how things do & don't change ➤ and the beautiful physicality the narrative has in details like the tea, and the hair, and how both yqy & sqq use clothing to hide things about their bodies they don't want noticed ➤ and of course the sharply perceived characterisation! ➤ LOVED IT ➤ 23k words

Summary: Mobei Jun is big, Shang Qinghua is small. At least until they get their clothes off. ➤ moshang ficlet about having a size similarity kink ➤ it's so cute and fun!! ➤ 830 words in length

Summary: “It’s only on paper,” Shen Qingqiu says soothingly, even voice doing very little to calm Liu Qingge’s nerves. “This contract with the former Junshang’s descendant will make an excellent stopgap until we can broker a more longterm peace with the demonic realm.” He directs his warm smile at Liu Qingge. As if Liu Qingge doesn’t already know this! He wipes his hands on his fine, embroidered robes. Stupid things- much too thin to give any protection against a blade. “The duel,” he says, trying to keep his head in the game. “It’s still the most likely outcome, right?” ➤ svsss au fic where as part of peace efforts between the human and demonic realms, marriage has been arranged between lqg and lbh ➤ nobody's pleased with the thought of the marriage actually taking place and everyone expects a duel rather than a completed marriage ceremony ➤ stands alone as a fun glimpse into the world of this story, but author hints at the possibility of it being the first chapter in a longer fic (that would probably end up bingliushen) ➤ 1.7k words in length

Summary: Bingliu solve their differences in a really mature way that doesn't use physical violence at all. ➤ a fic that's doing very different things with a/b/o worldbuilding and it's so fun and funny ➤ sqq just wants to be able to talk monster lore with lqg and lbh without those two alphas getting all territorial at each other! ➤ meanwhile lbh and lqg..... figure out a way to resolve their differences ➤ bingliushen is definitely in their future ➤ I love them all ➤ 3.4k words in length ➤ (from the comments, acernor confirmed that lbh and lqg are both betta fish, yqy is an alpha emitter, and sqq is a chaitin constant (chaitin omega number))

Summary: Luo Binghe smiled and made his way out of the crowd, kneeling in front of Shizun and bowing his head respectfully. "Shizun, this disciple has returned.” “... So you have,” Shizun replied, and Luo Binghe felt a surge of triumph. He hadn't immediately decried Luo Binghe! He hadn't revealed the truth! Luo Binghe raised his head to examine the parts of Shizun's expression that weren't covered by his fan, and noticed the way that Shizun's eyes flicked over to the disciples watching their exchange. / Instead of going to the Huan Hua Palace, Luo Binghe decides to return to Qing Jing Peak immediately after his escape from the Endless Abyss. A retelling of Recompense, from Luo Binghe's POV. ➤ svsss canon divergence au where after the abyss, lbh makes his way back to qing jing peak ➤ lbh is determined to prove to sqq that despite his demonic nature he can be a good disciple who is worth keeping ➤ sqq of course takes lbh's actions very differently ➤ really enjoyed lbh's pov here, and the things lbh does in service of his plan! ➤ 15k words in length

Summary: [🥒] STOP ASKING TO SEE MY “CUCUMBER” For the final time, I picked this username as a joke and I thought I’d be able to change it later! I can’t make a new account because I’ve bought all the limited time chapters here and they can’t be transferred! [🎲] wow, that is incredibly fucked up. You don’t deserve this kind of harassment. Don’t worry cucumber bro, i’ve got your back.

I loved seeing the other internet people being endlessly baffled by bingqiu ➤ 5k words in length

Summary: Good stories end. In fact, good stories quickly become bad stories when they don’t know when to quit; it’s half the reason why Proud Immortal Demon Way had become so insufferable by the end. Well, Shen Qingqiu knows when his story is over. Mai Gu Ridge is a distant memory and he and Luo Binghe are married. There’s nothing more to say. In fact, he wouldn’t dare having character development this late in the story—if Proud Immortal Demon Way had had an epilogue, then Shen Qingqiu is firmly in the epilogue now. Everything’s been resolved. And since all the related plot threads were resolved in the main storyline, any good epilogue is a story about nothing in particular, and therefore not worth reading at all. ➤ post-canon bingqiu ➤ sqq is in the sort of epilogue where absolutely nothing happens, no matter what some people might say. there's no storyline and he's definitely not experiencing character development! ➤ this was SUCH a delightful read omg. extremely bingqiu of them! ➤ I've been thinking a lot about bingqiu's sexual dynamics of late due to my current wip, and I can say authoritatively that this fic Understands them ➤ 18k words in length

summary: <blockquote> "Binghe," Shen Qingqiu gasps, pressed against the wall of the cottage. "Binghe, it hasn’t been three days." "But I’ve been very good," Luo Binghe pleads. "Please, Shizun. I won’t even put it all the way in. Just the tip." Shen Qingqiu squirms under the onslaught of messy wet kisses pressed to his neck, his robes pulled away to grant access. "Just the tip," he agrees. / Shen Qingqiu agrees to let Luo Binghe fuck him… with just the tip. It goes about as successfully as you might predict.</blockquote> ➤ extremely cute binqiu being pleased with themselves and having sex about it ➤ one of the tags is "binqiu-typical bad consent etiquette" lol and that's accurate ➤ I love them and they're disasters <3 ➤ 1k words in length

summary: <blockquote>It wasn’t gay for Shen Qingqiu to dream about being fucked by a man. Anyone—even the straightest of men, which Shen Qingqiu was—would have dreamt the same thing after seeing Binghe again after all those years of separation. It was only natural! Binghe was taller now, with wider shoulders and a chiseled jaw and a deeper voice that had gone straight to Shen Qingqiu’s gut when he’d heard it. Was it so surprising that all this new sensory knowledge would combine with Shen Qingqiu’s extensive knowledge of BL tropes—courtesy of his sister’s novel collection—and cause his subconscious mind to produce a naked, horny Binghe? And what was more natural for a naked, horny Binghe to do than to start having sex with whatever person was closest? In this case, the closest person had been Shen Qingqiu. Dreams were funny like that, sometimes.</blockquote> ➤ another fic about the jinlan city encounter going differently, this time because lbh has visited sqq's dreams ➤ and sqq has a Totally Very Straight Of Himself tendency to have sexy dreams about lbh ➤ hard for lbh to believe that sqq wants nothing to do with him after that! (he's still very confused tho) ➤ love this for them ➤ 26k words in length

Summary: <blockquote>"And that," Shen Qingqiu said, his voice steady as he concluded his argument, "is why Liu Qingge is only the third prettiest person on Cang Qiong, after Luo Binghe and presumably Liu Mingyuan, but before Yue Qingyuan. Sorry, Zhangmen-shixiong." "That's alright," Yue Qingyuan said in a strangled voice. "It comes down to his ass." "Yes, you've already said as much, shidi. Several times." Yue Qingyuan looked like he wanted to die a little bit, which was unfair. He wasn't the one who'd been dosed with a wife-plot potion designed to lower inhibitions while also compelling the truth! If anyone here should be embarrassed, it was Shen Qingqiu! He didn't feel embarrassed, though. That was probably due to the potion, now that he thought about it.</blockquote> ➤ sqq is given a truth serum that comes with a side of lowered inhibitions, during the trial in jinlan city ➤ nobody is prepared for the kinds of truths sqq wants to share (thoughtful and detailed list of who's hottest) ➤ or, tbh, for the truths that come out by the wayside ➤ funny and cute ➤ 4k words in length

Summary: <blockquote>When Shen Yuan dies and transmigrates into Yue Qingyuan, he's happy to improve his favorite story without the axe of human stick-hood hanging over him. It’s kind of a surprise that he can rescue the protagonist so quickly, but he isn’t about to look a gift horse in the mouth. And Liu Qingge’s presence, however sticky, means that he can spar in this strong body any time he wants – life at Cang Qiong really is good! Meanwhile, if Shen Qingqiu had been more willing to discuss his past with the only person who was part of it, then perhaps it would not have taken him three full years to realize that his childhood friend is gone. When the only other option is living without Qi-ge, he devotes himself to hunting down his soul. Unfortunately, this is pretty difficult when the man wearing Yue Qingyuan’s face has ordered that he not leave the mountain. (It’s not really a surprise when he begins hallucinating Qi-ge.)</blockquote> ➤ svsss au where sy transmigrates into yqy instead of sqq ➤ the fic is in two parts: first, from sy!yqy's pov as he tries to change events within the parameters the system allows him, and then the second from og!sqq's pov follows where the first part left off, with sqq trying to deal with the fact that yqy is so different now from the one he remembers. ➤ the two parts are different in tone and both excellent, both really fitting the kind of character and person the pov character is, and what it is they want the most. I loved it! ➤ 11k words in length

Summary: <blockquote>Liu Qingge gets professionally CNCed by fuck or die specialist Mu Qingfang. Liu Qingge is shocked and appalled to discover that he's really into it.</blockquote> ➤ this fic features explicit consensual-non-consent in a medical context, proceed accordingly ➤ lqg needs dual cultivation to fix a dangerous qi deviation. mqf is ready to help him, no matter what. ➤ I love the feeling of safety lqg has in mqf's hands. it doesn't matter what lqg does or says, he's not going to be a danger to anyone, and mqf WILL make sure he gets what he needs. ➤ and mqf is so caring and gentle in his inexorability! ➤ 3k words in length

Summary: <blockquote>"Bro, you know how many words I wrote per day, and how many plants I created!” Shang Qinghua whines. "I can't remember them all, it's impossible." Shen Qingqiu narrows his eyes. "It was used with Wife #418.” "That doesn't narrow it down any further. I'm not going to be able to guess it, so stop punishing me and just tell me how the flower nerfed you." Shen Qingqiu grits his teeth. Obviously he wants to draw this out to punish Shang Qinghua, but it kinda looks more like he's punishing himself. There's a muscle flexing in his jaw, and if he puts any more pressure on his fan's guard, it's going to snap. Uh, actually, Shen Qingqiu kind of looks like he's in pain— “A false dragonhead is also called an obedient plant. It’s in the name—the flower forces you to do whatever you're told," Shen Qingqiu spits out. or: Shen Qingqiu runs afoul of one of Airplane's stupid wife-plot devices...just before a mission to Jinlan City.</blockquote> ➤ sqq is hit by an obedience curse! uh oh, it's time for the mission to jinlan city! ➤ fun sqq & sqh interaction, and sqq's first meeting with lbh post-abyss going very differently than in svsss ➤ sqq absolutely out here making his own life harder on a regular basis ➤ lots of fun with this trope! ➤ 11k words in length

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

Summary: <blockquote>Ever since he was pushed into the Abyss, Luo Binghe has been dreaming of a strange world. In it, Luo Binghe's own face is everywhere, and his story is written out in humiliating detail for some stupid twink to read about. Luo Binghe hates the story, and he hates the dream realm, and he hates the godling within it - Shen Yuan - most of all. Unfortunately, Luo Binghe can't do anything about it - within these dreams, Luo Binghe is stuck within the body of a doll.</blockquote> ➤ it's always a good day when nyoomerr posts a new svsss fic! ➤ this one is about original lbh, beginning in his abyss years, visiting shen yuan in his dreams ➤ lbh can't move or act or speak in these dreams but he gets to hear/read about everything sy says about lbh ➤ over years lbh gets more and more obsessed with sy (obvs) ➤ I love watching lbh's growing realizations of the nature of his frustrations, mediated through getting to hear sy express things that are so different from what anyone in his waking life ever says ➤ I love how much he craves someone who SEES him like sy does, and yet sy can't see all of lbh because the parts of lbh's life he gets to see are all mediated through the nature of what a stallion novel will focus on! ➤ and the ENDING. it is perfect! I'm feral at the thought of what will happen next ➤ 17k words in length

Summary: <blockquote>When Shen Qingqiu died again, a final time, Luo Binghe knew it was all his fault. How could it not be, the way things ended between them? It would be a reward to follow after him, so Luo Binghe must instead live within the consequences of his own actions. He grasps for anything to distract himself from the aching hole in his very soul and that's when he meets Shang Yuan, a man just as hopelessly miserable as he is. (Or, the one where Luo Binghe is extremely depressed, runs away to the middle of no where, and makes a hatefriend with a Past that he maybe wants to kiss a lot.)</blockquote> ➤ bingqiu postcanon fic ➤ lbh is miserable because sqq has died again, permanently, and lbh blames himself ➤ this weird recluse Shang Yuan is a compelling mystery for lbh to investigate though...... ➤ the fic is deliciously full of angst and misunderstandings and attempts to learn from the past ➤ 75k words in length

Summary: <blockquote>Shen Yuan has had a push-and-pull relationship with Shen Qingqiu for years. Shen Yuan knows that Shen Qingqiu is meant to be a villain, but he knows just as well that many of the things Shen Qingqiu was accused of in Proud Immortal Demon Way were just shitty misunderstandings, and over the years Shen Yuan has become reluctantly fond of the tsundere asshole that is his Shizun. Abusing Luo Binghe was not a misunderstanding, though, and Shen Yuan will do whatever he can to correct the fact that he wasn't there to protect Luo Binghe when it happened. / “Shizun, I already said that I like beasts best - if I can’t raise Luo Binghe to be my shidi, can’t I raise him as my pet instead?”</blockquote> ➤ this is a fic that really understands the fundamental problem with original sqq, which is that the child abuse is real but so is the tragic backstory. he contains multitudes! one feels complex and conflicting things about him! ➤ ok so the fic is a canon divergence fic where shen yuan is transmigrated in early as a disciple of og!sqq, and it's a bingqiu fic but also a fic about the master-disciple relationship between sy and sqq, and also about sy's relationship with his role as head disciple on the peak ➤ and it's so good at all of that! I love what it does, I love all the sides of sy you get to see and all the things he cares about and puts his energies into (... and what he doesn't), it's all so perfectly him ➤ and aughghhhhhh I have SO MANY FEELS ➤ I am very emotion. I highly recommend. I want to talk more about some of the stuff but I don't want to post spoilers. ➤ 36k words in length

Summary: <blockquote>It’s a little ridiculous, really, the things that make Ming Fan happy. They’re so small. A single word of praise from a teacher; being picked first to shoulder a responsibility; a smile and a touch from Zhao De. It’s painfully obvious how Ming Fan feels about Zhao De, and it always has been. Ming Fan has a paper face, and can’t hide what he feels to save his life. Zhao De has always known. And honestly? He doesn’t particularly care. Or, no; it’s a little funny, actually. To be able to make him flush with happiness or wilt with disappointment with such very little effort, to always have him eating out of his hand and so eager to please. It’s too easy, really, but easy is fun sometimes. Useful, too, when he’s the Head Disciple of Qing Jing now. For as long as that might last. Maybe Zhao De should reward him for making himself so useful? / Zhao De shows Ming Fan a bad good time.</blockquote> ➤ yikes (complimentary) ➤ Ming Fan/OMC, where the OC is another disciple on Qing Jing Peak ➤ it's truly impressively horrible, the pov of this awful bully who manipulates Ming Fan into misery and encourages Ming Fan in all of his own worst bullying tendencies ➤ it's so well and believably done, and so compelling! ➤ mind the author's tags on this one, it means what it says. I enjoyed the fic a lot but it's not a pleasant fic! ➤ 13k words in length
