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>"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>Shang Qinghua is overworked and underappreciated. Between his work as a demon king’s assistant and a peak lord he has no time for himself at all. And now his best bro, Peerless Cucumber, wants to go on a quest. At the end of the tax year when the poor man is the busiest - it’s just a disaster waiting to happen! 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>Shang Qinghua’s fertilizer has unexpected effects on the mushroom body. In addition to—that—Shen Qingqiu doesn’t remember his death. Or anything at all after planting the Sun Moon Dew Mushroom seed in the dirt. But he doesn’t need to, right? Shen Qingqiu knows PIDW and Luo Bing-ge like the back of his hand. He’ll be fine. He just has to avoid getting noticed—you know what happens to beautiful women in PIDW! …though would life in the harem be so bad?</blockquote> ➤ is this het? is this slash? GREAT question.

Summary: <blockquote>…is not [always] the real truth. Truth-compelling artifacts in the hands of an enemy to one side, SYSTEM-mandated silence on the other, and Shen Qingqiu caught between the two. Is it too late to go back to the Water Prison?</blockquote>

<blockquote>In which Shen Yuan goes poking around the ruins of an old castle and ends up haunted by the ghost of Luo Binghe, demon emperor extraordinaire... .. and Shen Yuan thinks the whole "being haunted" thing is fantastic, thank you very much.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The long-fallen god of strategists and scholars has but one devoted worshipper left. No one sees the Heavenly Martial Emperor Luo Binghe kneeling in front of a statue maintained only by his own careful hands, praying faithfully to his lost master: Shen Qingqiu, the god who took him under his wing when he ascended—and who was later struck down from Heaven by Luo Binghe himself.</blockquote> ➤ au with svsss characters in tgcf setting; sj & sy are twins ➤ love the au and some of the fun thematic things it was doing, but it felt like it all wrapped up a little too easily and quickly in the end

<blockquote>Shang Qinghua slips up, revealing himself not only as a transmigrator but as the author himself. Together, Shen Qingqiu and Shang Qinghua have about a year to figure out how to manipulate the plot around the Endless Abyss without being insta-killed by the System, which is difficult and dangerous but surprisingly straightforward—all they have to do is make a deal with a demon. …Or two. Three, tops.</blockquote>

<blockquote>After Shen Qingqiu married Luo Binghe, Yue Qingyuan thought his role in the man’s life was over. However, as he carried the child-sized lord of Qing Jing Peak in his arms, he was grateful for this unexpected opportunity to bond with the person he cherished most. Shen Yuan, meanwhile, wondered desperately where the hell he was.</blockquote> ➤ I enjoy the ways it reconciles the three of them to what they can be to each other in this version of the world

<blockquote>Post canon, Luo Binghe plans the perfect date: delicious food, beautiful scenery, and a rare Abyssal monster. Little did he know that The System was also planning a celebration. Can Shen Qingqiu avert disaster?</blockquote>

<blockquote>Shen Yuan’s gotten away with avoiding many of the responsibilities of a well-to-do young master, but he’s finally found the one thing he can’t escape: no matter what, he must take a wife. Luo Binghe, Shen Yuan’s personal servant and totally platonic best friend, takes a particular interest in this. (Unrelated, and surely not important: demonic sightings in town have risen, and Luo Binghe is keeping secrets. Good thing these things have nothing to do with Shen Yuan’s bridal selection!)</blockquote> ➤ no transmigration (pidw native sqq)

<blockquote>Shen Yuan transmigrates into a Shijie instead of a Shizun. (No Ning-shijies were harmed in the making of this fic.)</blockquote>

<blockquote>Fresh out of the Abyss, Luo Binghe learns that he alone can cure Shen Qingqiu's chronic ailment. With this information in hand, he pursues an alternative strategy involving interspecies diplomacy and a royal alliance. After all, Cang Qiong can't expect a gentleman to dual-cultivate outside of marriage.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Summary: It’s like those pictures of two women’s faces, you know? It could also be a vase! Or an old woman–no wait, a young woman! In this case, it’s obviously a clown show. No! It’s an existentially horrifying psychological thriller-slash-nightmare! Oh, wait, actually… it’s definitely a clown show. In other words: what if Luo Binghe found the bubble where the System was hiding Shen Yuan during the five years?</blockquote> ➤ holy shit ➤ the one where lbh is able to access a dream-world bubble where sqq is trapped (as his sy self), and every time lbh accesses it, sqq's memories are reset, and lbh is able to learn a LOT from him. It's delightful and amazing!

<blockquote>Luo Binghe's got very talented blood parasites; he's got them inside Shen Qingqiu, even. Madame Meiyin and her illustrious colleagues teach Luo Binghe how to use them to give Shen Qingqiu a wet-ass bussy. Oh, and they've got xianxia poppers, too.</blockquote> ➤ learning how to have more enjoyable sex

<blockquote>Binghe gets pushed into the Abyss but lands in the Way of the Househusband with a system of his own, and gets introduced to a man who, from Binghe's perspective, is currently living the dream!</blockquote> ➤ delightful not!fic with some fun side pairings too

<blockquote>Shen Qingqiu, after enduring his trial, is placed into Luo Binghe’s custody at Huan Hua Palace.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Shen Qingqiu is a formerly-straight, now-gay man buying lingerie for a night of heterosexual sex with his husband. What’s so complicated about that?</blockquote>

<blockquote>The System gives Shen Qingqiu the ability to exchange B-Points for items, and what better way to earn points than by raising the satisfaction level of Zhongdian's favourite protagonist? OR: The one where Shen Qingqiu starts seducing the fuck out of Binghe in order to enable his caffeine addiction.</blockquote>

<blockquote>After an encounter with soul-sucking vine, Luo Binghe awakens as a bodiless entity in a strange new world. No matter what he does, he can't affect his surroundings and can't make himself seen or heard. He can only watch as Shen Qingqiu - in yet another body - awakens from a coma and tries to go back to his former life, unaware that Luo Binghe's soul has followed him there. What Luo Binghe sees and hears as he watches Shen Yuan answers a lot of questions, but not the most important one: With Binghe trapped along with his Shizun, how will they get home?</blockquote>

<blockquote>After fending off a siege on Huan Hua, Palace Mistress Su Xiyan decides to gather support in the cultivation world and shore up her sect's position by brokering a diplomatic marriage between a cultivator of good standing and her son, Prince Su Binghe. To ensure her highly romantic offspring's cooperation, Su Xiyan allows him a great deal of choice in the question of his bride. Shen Qingqiu is prepared to enter into a practical, political union. He is unprepared for Binghe.</blockquote>

<blockquote>For reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, Shen Yuan wakes up in an unholy fusion of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and a xianxia. Luo Binghe makes an ideal children's story protagonist, but children grow up—and the protagonist is only willing to follow the plot so far.</blockquote> ➤ love the premise-building at the beginning about systems! and then the rest of it is just fun crack

<blockquote>“Shizun,” he purred, darkly calm despite the anger oozing out of his mock-respectful smile. Luo Binghe's grip on Xiu Ya's blade tightened, and he realised with belated horror that his blood was running down the sword and dripping by Shen Qingqiu's feet. His sword had to be held at an upwards angle now, to reach the place where he pierced him back then. Shen Qingqiu felt sick. There was something wrong in this dream. “I ask you again. Do you regret it, Shizun?” // Shen Qingqiu can't answer whether he regrets betraying him. Luo Binghe wants his Shizun to understand how he suffered, and drags Shen Qingqiu into his dreamscape of the Endless Abyss that night. The only problem: Shen Qingqiu isn't waking up.</blockquote>

<blockquote>"This is my year," Shen Yuan tells his sister when he heads off to X Factor bootcamp. He knows he's good, and he's got his story in the bag. He's watched enough talent shows and read enough insider scoops and blind items to know the story is what puts the skill over the edge. He's spent years perfecting the Shen Yuan package. It's time to deploy it. "Sure," she says, laughing. She's laughing again when he video-calls her from bootcamp. "So, bro, did you get in?" she asks. "Yeah," Shen Yuan says. His voice, he's surprised to find, is steady. "But... they put me in a group."</blockquote>

<blockquote>modern!au where... i think i may have lost my mind? cucumberplane main ship, mo-->shang, bing-->yuan, plus uh. Only having one friend. / “And that,” says Luo Binghe, the light reflecting red into his eyes as he stared at the bedroom across the garden and down a level, where Shen Yuan was sighing and smiling into his boyfriend’s mouth, glasses askew. “That’s where we bury Shang Qinghua’s body.” “Oi.” “You can keep him there forever,” says Binghe, as though this is supposed to appeal to him. “You know he’ll never leave you, never reject you, never suck face with anyone else.” “Are you crying,” says MB. “Of course I’m crying!” bawls Luo Binghe, beautiful face the picture of misery. “The love of my life is kissing some stupid little gremlin and you won’t even help me murder him!”</blockquote> ➤ OH MY GOD this is exactly as unhinged as it should be ➤ series consists of: an iceberg with your name on it face-first into the ice-cold ocean
