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?!

SO GOOD. ➜ 67k 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: 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: Whenever Shen Yuan thought of Luo Binghe, she got a weird feeling in her stomach, like she was hungry, like she was about to fall. So she stopped thinking long enough to lay down on the sofa. Luo Binghe wasn’t like other women. She had a perfect body: strong, but also soft. She could pick Shen Yuan up, but she also made a good pillow. She was an excellent cook, but she hated to have help in the kitchen and would only let Shen Yuan sit on the counter and watch. She was highly intelligent, with a memory like a trap and a natural aptitude for learning. But she was cute, too—she liked to hold onto Shen Yuan during scary movies, and if Shen Yuan didn’t pat her on the head and tell her ‘good job’, she pouted. ➤ a cute little modern au f/f bingqiu get-together! ➤ lbh comes over to sy's apartment to cook for her on a rainy day ➤ binghe is SO good at working around her yuan-jie's heterosexual hangups 🥰 ➤ 2.5k words in length

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: 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>"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>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

Summary: <blockquote>After being turned away by the nice Shizun of that other world, Luo Binghe finds himself in the modern world where he can find a new nice Shizun for himself. Instead, he finds Shen Yuan, who could not possibly be who he's searching for - he's crass, and inelegant, and looks only vaguely related to Shen Qingqiu. Luckily for both of them, Shen Yuan mistakes Luo Binghe as a cosplayer for hire, and asks to rent him out as his very normal new boyfriend.</blockquote> ➤ I feel sure I've talked about this fic on masto before but I can't find it in my tags?! I've been following it as a wip and it's now DONE! ➤ the premise: bing-ge transmigrates to our world, and shen yuan thinks he's an attractive but incompetent and down on his luck cosplay-boyfriend-for-rent and takes pity on him ➤ sy tries to reform lbh and turn him into someone who's not terrible at being a boyfriend. meanwhile lbh is slowly discovering that maybe.....it's possible.........for someone to care about him and be nice to him just because they like him?? sounds fake! but what if? ➤ every single aspect of their relationship (and everything else in the fic!!!) is a COMPLETE delight. I love to see how much sy's sharp-mouthed peerless cucumber side is out in full force, and how feral lbh is, and how the two of them play off each other ➤ 86k words in length

Summary: <blockquote>Shen Yuan buys a body pillow, cyberstalks his nemesis, and joins a harem. Luo Binghe, recently escaped from the Endless Abyss, is just along for the ride.</blockquote> ➤ shen yuan definitely didn't intend to buy this body pillow of luo binghe what are you talking about ➤ he also definitely didn't involve his "essence" in an accidental ritual that summoned the real luo binghe ➤ however luo binghe is now here and he needs to do SOMETHING about that ➤ extremely funny, tshirt is always so good at the comic timing ➤ the airplane cameo is also perfect ➤ 4k words in length

Summary: <blockquote>In which it really is Shen Qingqiu’s Binghe who returns to him in the aftermath of the initial Bing-ge versus Bing-mei fight, not the original.</blockquote> ➤ post-canon au where post bing-ge vs bing-mei fight, it's bing-mei who returns to sqq ➤ prompts that inspired this fic included “Technically awful attempts at comfort are actually very comforting” and “Comfortee flaunts their hurt in order to get more comfort” and it's perfect actually, I love how THEM it is ➤ sqq having zero clue what to do that's Actually Helpful when someone's injured is soooo funny tbh. but his fussing is what really matters! ➤ 2k words in length

Summary: <blockquote>With the Immortal Alliance Conference looming ever closer, Binghe finds his Shizun acting strangely, intent on telling him a series of tales with some lessons hidden within that he struggles to interpret. Tales of heroes doomed to an ill fate, of enchanted silence, of love, of kind demons, and demonic realms. The only thing Binghe is sure of is that his Shizun is secretly pleading for understanding and help. And he hopes maybe also… true love?</blockquote> ➤ an au where sqq does his best to communicate to lbh prior to the Immortal Alliance Conference, despite having his words held back by the system; so he tells a series of meaningful stories and hopes lbh will draw the right conclusions ➤ the fic is from lbh's pov and I love how earnestly and carefully he tries to put together the clues sqq is giving him! the CONCLUSIONS he draws!! ➤ I screamed internally with delight at multiple points while reading the fic. it's such a delightful read! ➤ 32k words in length

Summary: <blockquote>“Oh,” Shen Qingqiu says. He’s too fucking tired to do a whole elaborate roleplay right now, Luo Binghe, please have mercy! “Binghe is a lovely statue, but could he not be one right now so we can talk about this?” Reluctantly, Luo Binghe drops the pose. There’s definitely a dejected slump to his shoulders; Shen Qingqiu is going to have to handle this one delicately. (Now on his list of things he did not realize being married would entail: carefully explaining to your husband that you do want to do sexy statue roleplay with him, just not right this minute.) / Shen Qingqiu does some... erotic art appreciation.</blockquote>

Summary: <blockquote>Shen Qingqiu is amnesia-wifeplotted into forgetting the last two years of his life. Two years ago happens to be the anniversary of Maigu Ridge. The solution, of course, is papapa.</blockquote>

Summary: <blockquote>“Be normal,” said Luo Binghe. “No liking SVSSS.” A Fifth Element fusion (among other things).</blockquote> ➤ focus is on bingqiu, the fic starts very silly but goes interesting places with it

But Shang Qinghua is a good bro and he will help his best friend no matter what! In which Luo Binghe hates his Shizun’s mousy friend, Shen Qingqiu is rather demanding, Mobei Jun could be more considerate and Shang Qinghua really needs a break! Or a hug. Preferably both.</blockquote> ➤ charming art and story, though the characters were a little too emotionally aware and willing to talk about their feelings to feel particularly accurate. still fun and worth reading though!

Summary: <blockquote>While Luo Binghe is in the Abyss, Shen Qingqiu is struck by a strange poison that gives him a woman's body. The only solution: orgasm. Who on earth will be able to help him...?</blockquote>
