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.

Summary: But here, now, was my chance. I was not the young master to Jeeves now - in fact, Jeeves, in his current role, had no y. m. at all. He was a gentleman of means and breeding, and I a rather fantastically attired birdcatcher of presumably Viennese extraction; and two such fellows could hold a conversation without any wayward “sirs” inserting themselves where they were not wanted. // Or: In which a gentleman and his valet both attend a masquerade under false pretences. ➜ yuletide fic, for Jeeves & Wooster ➜ in which Jeeves and Wooster separately attend a masquerade ball, each in costume ➜ hidden identity shenanigans are such fun and this one is great! ➜ I love how much Wooster loves getting to interact with Jeeves without Jeeves's feudal spirit getting in the way ➜ and the vision of Jeeves at a party flirting with a flighty young master of unknown identity.....so good ➜ 11k words in length

His Highness had - helped along with subtle doses of luck as the dice were passed to him - won decisively.

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 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: 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: 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.

summary: "It should go away on its own," Mithrun says, face just as flat and expressionless as it always is. He doesn't say anything else, like 'let's move on' or 'I'll handle it myself-' just stands there, wooden and blank, waiting for someone else to direct the parts of his life that aren't related to slaying the demon of the dungeon. Kabru imagines it: Mithrun walking around just like this, drifting to where he's put and only assuming that fierce expression when there's a monster to be dealt with. All while his obvious, awkward, extremely prominent boner is tenting the front of his skirt, bobbing with each step. ➤ dungeon meshi kabru/mithrun sex pollen fic ➤ which, as the author has tagged, can easily be read as asexual character x2 ➤ GENIUS tbh!! I love kabru's pov, and I love how much the sex pollen is just another thing to deal with, another thing to assess and excel at ➤ and mithrun omg yepppp that's him ➤ 1k words

Summary: "After all, this gracious daozhang has been spoiling me so much lately, and it’s high time I returned the favor.” Xie Lian trailed to a stop behind Hua Cheng, looking a little lost as Hua Cheng leaped briskly up the steps. Once there, he stopped to flash an impish grin in Xie Lian’s direction. “If dianxia has no objections– allow /me/ to make dinner tonight.” 🍲 In which 'home' isn't a place, but the people in it.

I loved it ➤ 2k words in length

Summary: Lan Zhan is — a friend. A guy. That takes the pressure off, knowing they’re doing this as friends, that Wei Ying doesn’t have to perform.

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

Now, twelve years later, Yuuri is a rising Hollywood star, Viktor is contemplating retirement, and Yuri Plisetsky needs a ballet coach for his senior debut. Luckily, Lilia happens to know the perfect candidate.
