LINKDING

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: <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>Yue Qingyuan has one giant blindspot as a sect leader, and that's Shen Qingqiu. But now a curse has made him forget Shen Qingqiu, and that changes some things.</blockquote> ➤ I enjoyed a lot of this fic but I feel like the ending was too simple, that everything would just be perfectly fine again even after he gets his memories back. still overall worth reading though.

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

Summary: <blockquote>Things go wrong at Maigu Ridge. Shen Qingqiu wakes up back at the beginning, in a body that is still shaking off Shen Jiu's fatal qi deviation. Luo Binghe wakes up in the woodshed with a disembodied voice chiming in his ear. It calls itself the System.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Fifteen years ago, definitely cishet man Shen Yuan transmigrated into Shen Qingqiu, the female villain of reverse harem novel Proud Immortal Demon Way, and never looked back. Now happily lesbian-married, Shen Qingqiu gets caught in a PIDW plot that makes her actually confront what she wants from her gender and her relationship.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Loosely based off of 'I Became the Wife of the Male Lead'. The main ship is Bingqiu!</blockquote> ➤ the one where sqq transmigrates into the nephew of qiu jianluo (son of qiu haitang and og!sqq)

<blockquote>Madame Meiyin casts a sex curse (blessing?) at the state wedding of Shen Qingqiu and Luo Binghe. When Shen Qingqiu used to complain about how stultifying and unoriginal, how vapid and formulaic, and most especially how shallow and empty of true feeling Airplane's wife plots were in PIDW... well, fate was listening. Bodyswap's not so simple when the sex hasn't been so easy.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Mobei Jun and Shang Qinghua fit together like a 3D puzzle: with a lot of missteps, rearranging, and precision. Too bad their friends are, like, really bad at spatial reasoning. OR: 5 times no one realized moshang were together, and one time it was too obvious to miss</blockquote>

<blockquote>When the protagonist from a webnovel you’ve wasted your youth on shows up in your living room out of nowhere, naturally you have to play host! Unfortunately for Shen Yuan, Luo Binghe—the Heavenly Ruler of the Three Realms and stallion extraordinaire—is not exactly what you’d call a light guest.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Luo Binghe has it all: the respect of the cultivation world, the home he always wanted, and Shizun's love. There's just one problem: if Shizun ever finds out he's a demon, it's going to ruin everything.</blockquote> ➤ I feel like the ending needed a little more emotional settling time after how very long lbh had been angsting about this stuff; it felt a little too abrupt for him to be making jokes about sqq liking him being a monster, for example. but overall a really delightful fic

<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>It takes about five minutes after they first meet for Shen Yuan to start flirting with Luo Binghe. Aggressively, too, in a way that even some of Luo Binghe’s most frequent bed partners wouldn’t dare to. It’s shocking and infuriating and, unfortunately, Luo Binghe finds himself charmed. Too bad Shen Yuan doesn’t actually know that his actions come off as demon-flirting in the first place.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Shang Qinghua, also known as Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky, stared flatly at what had once been a field boasting near sect-level Feng Shui alignment, and the drowned, bloated remains of the Sun and Moon Dew Flower cuttings that had sprouted within it. Their plan was now quite literally a wash. If only he could consult Cucumber Bro on how to save Cucumber Bro! But in the absence of Cucumber Bro, he could but rely on the one plot coupon the infamous Peerless Cucumber had ever applauded.</blockquote> ➤ wifebeam made as literal as possible, sqq becomes a sparkly anime princess

<blockquote>Liu Qingge had thought that he'd made his peace with the arranged marriage, but escaping the planning to train in the woods brings him face to face with an unexpected problem. An unexpectedly handsome- and flirtatious- problem, that appears to be part of the demonic embassy's contingent.</blockquote> ➤ the one where lqg thinks lbh is just a horse master rather than the demon lord he's being betrothed to. And oh my godddd I love this vision of them. ➤ It's an au of pidw, with no transmigrators involved. I'm glad I read the end-notes first, to provide the context for this au before reading the story, and I really rather love this au!

<blockquote>It is said that in the course of history, there were four legendary beauties that, in some fashion, caught the attention of a ruler and through their influence, shaped history. Airplane never actually wrote any of that into the original story, but sometimes things come together in unexpected ways. (Four standalone chapters.)</blockquote> ➤ ahhhhhh this is just suffused with a feeling of earnest happiness and it's so lovely

<blockquote>Liu Qingge finds himself unwillingly charmed by Shen Qingqiu's new pet tiger while Luo Binghe is mysteriously off peak. The two are, of course, completely unrelated.</blockquote>

<blockquote>In an intimate moment, Luò Bīnghé lets slip that Liŭ Qīnggē has feelings for Shěn Qīngqiū. Luò Bīnghé thinks it was obvious; Shěn Qīngqiū re-evaluates their whole friendship out loud at random intervals; his favorite disciple gets jealous; they find out they both like it; Liŭ Qīnggē finds out what 'living hell' means. Somewhere along the way, they fall into bed together. Life's funny that way!</blockquote>

<blockquote>By choosing not to push Luo Binghe into the Abyss during the crucial story step, Shen Qingqiu invites the punishment doled out by the System and is loaded into the original Proud Immortal Demon Way universe at the most inopportune time. (please check the notes for detailed warnings)</blockquote>

<blockquote>Airplane Bro transmigrates into his own web-novel only to find out that the System messed up his world! Shang Qinghua is a demon in this world! All the characters supposed to be humans are demons in this world! And all the characters supposed to be demons are...? Moshang's first meeting in a Role Reversal AU.</blockquote> ➤ the one where sqh is a demon and mbj is a human cultivator

<blockquote>Liu Mingyan makes a face, before saying, “Ge, I don’t know how to tell you you’re kind of hopeless. Maybe you should go back to square one and start bringing him gifts. Maybe he’ll pick up on your burgeoning feelings for him.” “They’re not - they’re not burgeoning,” Liu Qingge sulks. / Liu Qingge likes Mu Qingfang, but his methods are a little too obtuse. Enter Liu Mingyan, expert on all things romance (Sort of. Most of it's theoretical, but it still counts, right??)</blockquote> ➤ unusual ship but sure!

<blockquote>Shang Qinghua, immortal cultivator, An Ding Peak Lord, humble servant to the Demon King of the North, and shameless former stallion novel author, was having a bad day. Week. Month. Entire second lifetime? - - - In which Shang Qinghua is clueless, Mobei Jun is hopeful, Shen Qingqiu and Sha Hualing are Tired (TM), gifts and clothing and intentions are exchanged, there is only one bed (so Shang Qinghua sleeps on a bench) and they finally --finally!-- use their words.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Shang Qinghua knows better than anybody that he doesn’t get a second look so long as Shen Yuan is around.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The thought had been niggling at the back of his mind quite a bit lately. He wasn’t showing Shang Qinghua proper obeisance, was he? They’d grown so comfortable in their roles - Mobei-Jun as Shang Qinghua’s king, and Shang Qinghua as his dutiful servant - that they hadn’t thought to… stop. It was how it had always been. But things were different, now, weren’t they? They’d been different for a long time now. To ignore that wasn’t proper. That stops now, Mobei-Jun decides. His ancestors would be rolling in their graves to see him ignore the proper rites of courtship - the fact that he and Shang Qinghua were already mated besides. He was not raised to be some kind of country rube, as much as being sequestered so far up north might imply otherwise. Shang Qinghua was his partner, and, with all factors properly calculated, the more powerful of the two. It was only proper that Mobei-Jun display an appropriate level of submission to his better. -- Mobei-Jun realizes with increasing clarity that he wants to serve Shang Qinghua. Shang Qinghua does NOT pick up on it.</blockquote>
