The first thing Luo Binghe does when he escapes the Abyss is return to Cang Qiong Mountain. 

With Xin Mo secured to his back, the way could be instant if he so chose—the journey of a thousand miles reduced to a single step—but he unsheathes the elegant jian at his hip instead.

Yong Liang sings sweetly for him, the snow white blade still shining and untainted even after years of helping Luo Binghe carve his way through hell. It has never once failed him, soulbound to the one person still on this earth who has never failed him. 

“Take it,” his shixiong insisted, low and urgent. The Abyss was behind them, an even deadlier threat was ahead, and Without A Cure clogging his meridians made Luo Binghe the best choice to wield the only unshattered spirit sword they had between them. “Binghe, take it.”

He pressed until Luo Binghe’s grip curled tight around the hilt, not hesitating to put his soul in Luo Binghe’s hands even with the rosy glow of an unsealed demon mark shining on his face. 

Luo Binghe flies at a pace best described as dangerously reckless, hardly smelling the fragrant spring air or feeling the sun on his face. His robes are a disgrace, his hair a tangled, matted mess, and it occurs to him that he could stop somewhere and clean himself up, make himself presentable, but it’s a brief, fleeting thought. 

Shen Yuan would be furious to find out that Luo Binghe wasted even a single second returning to his side. 

——

He passes through the ancient wards effortlessly, feeling them fall away from him like water. It’s a simple thing to tamp down on his demonic qi, to disguise the parts of him that those so-called righteous cultivators would scorn. He ghosts through the familiar grounds as eagerly as a starving animal bolting down a fresh game trail, but one by one, all of their familiar haunts come up empty, without even a lingering trace of Shen Yuan’s spiritual energy left behind.   

The head disciple’s room is dusted and undisturbed, as if its occupant might walk through the door at any moment, but the lack of clutter and the empty book shelf makes it very clear to Luo Binghe what the truth must be.

If Shen Yuan returned to the peak after the Conference, he didn’t stay. 

All at once, images crowd the front of his mind—his shixiong grieving, pulling away, turning his back on those responsible for his heartache. 

Yue Qingyuan, always only a step behind wherever his precious Xiu Ya sword went, promised that no one wanted to hurt them. They only wanted to help.

He looked so solemn and righteous that Shen Yuan reluctantly allowed himself to be convinced. Luo Binghe, who had gone to the man for help after a bloody whipping when he was a child, only to be given a walnut cake and turned away at the door, knew better. 

He wasn’t surprised when Shen Yuan was wrenched away from him, and shizun sent him staggering off the cliff with a spiritual dagger buried to the hilt in his chest, all of it happening within a matter of seconds—but it still hurt. 

Shen Yuan’s scream followed him all the way down. 

I’m alive, Luo Binghe thinks, with no one there to tell it to. I came back to you. Let me come back to you. 

——

Including time spent in the abyss, it’s three years before they meet again. 

Luo Binghe’s revenge is his second priority at best, but he is nothing if not efficient and knows how to kill two birds with the same stone. Huan Hua affords him ample resources and opportunities to scour the world for his missing shixiong while playing the role of earnest and diligent new disciple. He snatches up each mission that comes along as though  eager to prove his worth to the sect that so graciously took him in, but he takes every excuse to wander, to search, to make conversation with vendors and innkeepers and passing strangers. 

Have you seen my heart? It lives outside of me in the form of a beautiful young man and tends to wander. Very contrary, likes to fuss over people, could argue the stripes off a lushu just for fun. You’d know it if you met it. You’d never forget. 

The days blur together, meaningless and gray, but he doesn’t stop looking. Shen Yuan still exists somewhere in this world, because otherwise Luo Binghe wouldn’t. It’s the only thing that makes sense. The alternative doesn’t bear thinking about. 

And then, finally—an afternoon in Jinlan City, when Luo Binghe arrives in a throng of incompetent gold-clad Huan Hua disciples, to investigate a plague of all things—

He’s there. 

In dark, neutral colors and plain clothes, a traveling cloak with its hood resting down around his shoulders, as if his beauty could possibly be lessened by cheap, shapeless fabrics rather than effortlessly enhanced. His hair falls from its half-tail in glorious waves—he never did have the patience for anything elaborate, only wearing braids when one of his sticky shidimei cajoled and convinced him. Traveling alone, who could he possibly have to roll his eyes at and complain about and sit patiently still for?

A pale green ribbon is all that decorates his hair. Luo Binghe recognizes it instantly. 

“You should spend your allowance on yourself, Binghe,” Shen Yuan scolded him, not for the first time and certainly not for the last. 

“But I did,” Luo Binghe protested, widening his eyes and clasping his hands earnestly, the way he knew worked best. “I wanted it! And now that I have it, I want to give it to you.”

Shen Yuan was too clever by half to be truly fooled by the innocent act, but he always folded like paper anyway. He spoiled all of his shidimei but Luo Binghe most of all. Anyone on Qing Jing Peak would be hard-pressed to think of a single example of Shen Yuan telling Luo Binghe ‘no.’ 

Sure enough, after a second spent visibly wrestling with himself, he blurted, “Oh, fine! Hand it over.” 

He wore it every day since. He’s wearing it now. The wind catches the ends of it, sending it streaming behind him like the tails of a paradise flycatcher. Lovely. 

For a brief moment, Luo Binghe is frozen where he stands, finally faced with the very thing that he’s been missing for years, that he’s been living a miserable half-life without. 

And then he remembers himself and lurches forward. His voice is a tangle in his throat but he manages to choke out, “Shixiong!”

A strike of lightning couldn’t have jolted Shen Yuan into more perfect stillness. He stops mid-step, every inch of him as good as carved from precious jade. He doesn’t turn his head, and the sliver of his face visible from where Luo Binghe stands is very pale. 

Luo Binghe wonders suddenly if this has happened to him before—if Shen Yuan has heard a voice on the road or in the market that was almost familiar, that was almost the one he was hoping for, only to be disappointed when he turned to follow it and found a stranger. 

Luo Binghe shortens the distance between them with a few anxious steps and tries again. 

“Shixiong.”

The older boy whirls around abruptly, as if to get it over with. He’s bracing himself, but Luo Binghe barely has a second to absorb Shen Yuan’s painful-looking anticipation before it bleeds out of his face in favor of something else entirely. 

He looks like the earth has fallen out from beneath his feet, like he hardly dares to believe his eyes. Zheng Yang gleams golden at Shen Yuan’s hip, reforged and whole again.

“Binghe?”  

“It’s me,” Luo Binghe says softly. 

There’s a tableau he’s afraid to break, as if they’re in a delicate dreamscape and a move too sudden or loud might dissolve it. He wants to say I’ve missed you the way lungs miss air, immediately and needfully, I haven’t breathed at all since we’ve been apart. He wants to say you’re my light in the dark, I can only stand in front of you now because I love you too much to ever truly leave you. 

Instead, he tells his dearest friend, “This one made you wait. But your Binghe is here.”

Shen Yuan sprints the rest of the way to meet him, almost before he’s even finished talking, and they collide in a solid embrace that knocks the air from them both. 

His arms wind around Luo Binghe’s waist like steel bands, fingers digging into the back of his robes, precious face pressed into the crook of his neck and shoulder. Luo Binghe doesn’t hesitate to gather him up close, holding him as tightly and securely as he knows how, burying his nose in his shixiong’s hair and breathing in the familiar, beloved smell of him.  

Shen Yuan is a few inches shorter than he remembers. All the better to tuck him beneath Luo Binghe’s chin, to cover and surround him so completely that not even the heavens above can get a decent eyeful. 

He wants to grab and bite and pin Shen Yuan beneath him and never let go. His jaw aches with wanting it. 

“I’ve been looking for you,” Luo Binghe says, eyes wet. “I went home first.” Unsaid goes the obvious but you weren’t there. 

“How could I stay?” Shen Yuan bites out, managing to sound all at once strangled and bewildered and—charmingly—offended. He shakes his head without lifting it, an aggressive nuzzle against Binghe’s shoulder. “After what they did to you, I’d rather die than represent their stupid sect another minute.”

“Step away from it, Shen Yuan,” shizun said coldly. “I’ll put that beast back where it belongs.”

“No,” shixiong said in a voice that was smaller than usual, one that shook. He was frightened, clearly overwhelmed, but he didn’t budge from where he was plastered in front of Luo Binghe like a breathing shield. 

“Now.” 

“No, shizun.”

“Shizhi,” Yue Qingyuan said gently, offering his hand. “Come here. It will be alright.”

Shen Yuan said, “No. You can’t hurt Binghe. He’s not bad just because of who his parents are. He’s as good as he was yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before that. He’s hardworking and loyal and a sweetheart to anybody who gives him half a chance. He’s so good.”

Liu Qingge was behind the sect leader, sword drawn. Shen Qingqiu was quickly losing what little patience he had, face twisted into a sneer, dark eyes stabbing hatefully at Luo Binghe from over his head disciple’s shoulder. There were more figures rapidly drawing closer, the other peak lords following the flare of Yue Qingyuan’s qi. The standoff was becoming more and more untenable, and Shen Yuan was too smart not to see that, shrinking back against Luo Binghe as much as he could without crowding him closer to the edge. 

“You can’t hurt him,” he said again, the closest Luo Binghe had ever heard him come to tears, “he’s my shidi.”

Luo Binghe is unsurprised by his shixiong’s loyalty, because it’s already been proven to him over and over. It’s unremarkable at this point, which is an absolutely remarkable thing in itself. It makes him feel warm with gratitude and affection and ownership. 

Shen Yuan is clever and quick on his feet and always three steps ahead, more knowledgeable about flora and fauna than anyone else Binghe has ever known combined, and probably a force to be reckoned with as a rogue cultivator, where the only rules of conduct he has to adhere to are his own. 

But Luo Binghe hates to think of him on the road alone, without the little martial siblings who follow him like ducklings, without his Binghe there to make sure he remembers to eat all his meals and comb out his hair before bed. He’s a creature of comfort, made for airy rooms with too many cushions and an abundance of sweets and books to read. 

Luo Binghe has fantasized more than once about building a home for Shen Yuan to lounge prettily in. It was, in fact, his favorite flavor of daydream since he was about thirteen. 

If Shen Yuan wants to rogue cultivate, then that’s what they’ll do. But Luo Binghe thinks, if he constructs a palace that’s as comfortable as it is grand, and fills it with trashy romance novels and obscure beasts and his own hand-made meals, he can convince his friend to live in it with him.

Shen Yuan needs to be taken care of. Luo Binghe needs to be the one taking care of him. They’re together now and they’ll never be apart again and those needs can both be met. 

That possessive, proprietary feeling coils dark and deep inside him, undulating lazily like a serpent who’s fed enough for days, reminding him over and over what he already knows:

Mine.

Binghe gets the shovel talk from literally the entire Cang Qiong mountain, but what he doesn't know is that someone gives the shovel talk on his behalf to Shen Yuan as well (because well Shang Qinghua is too scared to give a shovel talk to his son and also very offended because where's the protection squad for his baby?!)

Airplane: If you ever hurt my son (again), I will find a way to get back to you (after I'm finished helping you in case you need a new body) in a way that doesn't make me lose my one single bestie. Anyway, see you later son-in-law!

Shen Qingqiu: I HATE YOU! (he's very happy because till now he was only person giving himself the shovel talk, but now there's a new member in the BingBing protection squad!)

Shen Yuan shixiong AU - Part 4/?

All Peak Lords like Shen Yuan. (Yes, even Liu Qingge. That's his doting look.) Shen Yuan stands out by specializing in fauna and flora knowledge. (Nobody can stop him when his attention is grabbed by something interesting.) He also tends to keep all kind of monsters and beasts, terrifying everyone on Qing Jing Peak. Especially his shimei, Ning Yingying.

Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3

((Shen Qingqiu found him a small beast to study for his birthday but it unexpectedly became a pet : SY: Shizun is the best! Thank you!!! SQQ: Why are you playing with it? A-Yuan stop petting it, it's dangerous. SY: *delighted laughter* SQQ: ... *sigh* I guess this is fine too.))

role reversal bingqiu au... disciple!sy constantly in conflict with his cruel, demonic master, ruler of both realms, king!lbh (name and title are a wip)... sy who gets whumped almost every day of his miserable life, by his master. truly, this universe is too cruel, to thrust him from one life of suffering in which he was destined to die young, into another! only... when his master notices other disciples following his example, he punishes them harshly. he patches sy's wounds, and forces him to stay in bed for a week. sy is deeply confused, even more so when lbh goes back to beating the crap out of him everyday only a month later! but still, no one else dares touch him. everyone knows he's lbh's plaything... and the king will only be merciful once. all those who piss on his territory from now on will die.

mxtx guys be really living their wattpad girlie dreams

lwj literally wrote a song about the hot dude in the class, named it after their ship name and got to marry the said hot dude from the class.

hua cheng created multiple fan art of his idol, sent him thousands of fan mails (lanterns), fought xie lian antis, and married his idol who was also an emperor by the end of the story.

and in scum villian i can't even decide who was the wattpad girlie in the story. shen yuan who married the supposed player, bingbing who banged his milf teacher or shang qinghua who married the rich sugar daddy who was also his literal dream guy?

[lovefrombegonia]

I don't personally see PIDW Luo Binghe as being a happy person. At least, not when he is allowed to sit alone with his own thoughts. Not that I am saying a victim can't ever be happy. I just see this particular version of the character as never being content for long. He has so much, so many who love him, so many whom he adores...and yet he can't let go of the one who destroyed him, of the one who basically made who he is now. He hates that his identity is so fused with PIDW SQQ and he hates that a part of him still craves for him.

I like whump Luo Bingge content basically LOL

It's also why I don't particularly like Luo Bingge x Shen Yuan pairing. Nah. I need this version to be obsessed with only the shitty version of og SQQ. He needs to crave for Shen Jiu becoming kind to him. Not a completely different person. He might fall for a Shen Yuan for sometime, just like he fell for and adored his wives who were always kind to him, but he will always be obsessed with Shen Jiu. I like PIDW LBH to be fucked up mentally like that.

This is also why I personally dislike SVSSS LBH x Shen Jiu pairing. NO. NOT ON MY WATCH. That precious bingbing only deserves a kind and affectionate Shen Yuan. ONLY.

I know and accept that in canon, Binghe and Bingmei are essentially the different versions of the same character but I have always believed that most of who we are, are defined by our experiences and our choices rather than what was in-built in us. So, I do see them as different characters IN MY MIND.

#pidw luo binghe #luo bingge #bingjiu if you squint #personal headcanon #not canon #luo bingge headcanon #svsss #anti luo bingge x shen yuan #anti luo bingmei x shen jiu #actually: #bingjiu #definitely

[wise-lizard-wizard]

In Shen Yuan's defence, I also read smut for the plot that's happening in the background and only shows up briefly every five chapters.

The rest of his weird is his own tho. I'm not claiming any part of the "if I was your mom, I wouldn't abort you" stuff. I would abort Bingbing, but only because I am pro abortion.

I just realised that Binghe is Morticia and Shen Yuan is Gomez. Binghe wants it all right? He wants to be his Shizun's housewife/househusband, but he also wants to use the powers of darkness to rule over the Demon World. Then there's Shen Yuan who completely gives off besotted husband vibes just like Gomez who very much enables his wife's mad vibes (and matches the crazy with just a touch more subtlety).

Also, Ning YingYing as Wednesday and Ming Fan as Pugsley. Does this make Shang Qinghua Fester? Or is he the grandma? I do like him as Fester because of the whole Gomez and Fester thing sort of paralleling Airplane x Cucumber, but then again he is BingBing's dad so I like the grandma thing too as Grandma Addams is almost always shown to be Morticia's mother's which falls perfectly in line with this hc.

Now this just leaves me with who Mobei-Jun would be... Debbie? 😏🤣

Brain Overflow

You know how in my last 'state of the author' post I said I could feel the urge to write coming back?

Oh, it has.

It's terribly inconvenient too. I'm going to tell you a little about some of the things I've been thinking of and then whine/wibble a tiny bit if you click through to behind the cut. (You don't have to read the last bit!)

I've written down three different SVSSS (LiuShen) ideas in the last couple of weeks, added a few thoughts to older ideas, made a mental note of possible Cultivate extras, and just refused to write down others so as not to encourage rampant plot bunny breeding.

But let me tell you about a few of them because I'm hoping it reduces the urge to work on them better than just typing up notes.

The Lady Blackbird fusion Not sure what Lady Blackbird is? Well, it's a free tabletop rpg that you can download here. But the TL;DR is, "Sort of like steampunk Star Wars: A New Hope + Firefly + potential Jane Austen novel, if you want." I'll just C&P the pitch here: Lady Blackbird is an Imperial noble fleeing from an arranged marriage to be with her secret lover, the pirate king Uriah Flint. To reunite with him, she has hired a notorious smuggler and the crew of his skyship, The Owl. However, The Owl has been captured by an Imperial cruiser. How will Lady Blackbird and the others escape? What dangers lie in their path on the way to the pirate king’s lair? Can you see where this is going? (Actually, probably not your first thought, no.) We start with Shen Yuan transmigrated in a xianxia-by-way-of-steampunk gown, sitting in a jail cell with several men, a teenage boy, and a veiled teenage girl. System helpfully informs him that he is now "Lady" Blackbird, on the run to end up in the arms of Pirate King Mobei-Jun. His cell-mates are, as follows: Smuggler Captain Liu Qingge, Lady Blackbird's personal bodyguard Liu Mingyan who suggested her brother when LB said she wanted to escape, the ship's mechanic Shang Qinghua, the ship's doctor Mu Qingfang (or they pick him up later, I haven't decided), and "a goblin named BingBing". While SY is busy freaking out that System can't fool him - that's the Protagonist, Luo Binghe!!! wtf!!! System says "later, loser" and more-or-less abandons him (though still employing an OOC ban). So now you can probably see where this is going, lol. It involves at least a brief period where SY has to crossdress and pretend to be one of Binghe's future wives - a fiancée/wife of Mobei-Jun as Liu Qingge gets very conflicted feelings about his troublesome passenger. Featuring lots of Cumplane friendship, sassy MQF (as a treat), teenage smirking (likely aided and abetted by the adults), and space whales (naturally). I have not yet fully decided if the story Shen Yuan read was PIDW and now he has to figure out how the infiltration of "space with gears on it" into his xianxia has fucked up what he and Airplane know, or if the story was something like "Proud Immortal Starlit Way" and it was always like that. (Thoughts?) ---

The "SY Bodysnatches MQF" idea What it says on the tin... SY accidentally ends up in MQF's body instead of SQQ's. Only MQF isn't gone - he remains. This occurs directly before the Demonic Invasion and double qi deviation part of the plot and they rush back to the sect to deal with that. Then things get messy while they conspire to get SY his own body. Featuring: An extremely confused Liu Qingge, eventual Shenbros, and aro-ace MQF being very bemused at all times. ---

The "LQG Gets De-Aged/Age-Regressed" idea As you can guess: LQG gets age-regressed. This happens in Lingxi Caves instead of his death-by-deviation. He latches onto SY-SQQ and SY-SQQ is helpless to do anything but take the cute kid in. Featuring: BingLiu friendship, possibly Bing-other disciples friendship, but mostly establishing bro-code that makes Binghe switch his infatuation with SY-SQQ into family feelings as soon as LQG regains his adult body and it becomes clear that LiuShen is happening. ----

This is along with: Joint Custody (LiuShen), my SJ-SQQ second-chance redemption fic (LiuShen and LiuJiu, but different LQGs), a peak lords ascension fic using Cultivate's backstory (LiuJiu), a LiuShen timeloop fic, and at least another half a dozen fic ideas sitting in the hopper that aren't nearly as developed/that I am not burning to write yet.

I'd love to know which ideas you guys are most interested in. ;) Joint Custody is still next regardless and I'll probably not be working on either of the LiuJiu fics in the near future because they are definitely 100k+ territory and I'm still not ready for that. But knowing people are hype for something keeps me hype. ;3

I'll probably be in this fandom awhile, y'all. Please send help.

Sadly, I can't work on any of them yet, because I have over 2,600 messages in my inbox waiting for me to respond to. (This is not a humble brag - this is thousand-yard-stare territory. It was somewhere over 3000 for awhile until I started making a list of people who generally only left emojis or thanks and let them know that I was going to just thank them for all of them in one email so they didn't peppered by replies in kind.)

Not that I'm complaining about them, because I missed replying to comments so much (it's genuinely one of my favorite parts about writing fanfic), but it's still a lot and even if I could manage 100 replies a day (which for mental health reasons, I really can't), it's going to take awhile.

RIP.

More importantly - I hope you are well! 🌼

WRT BingBing being bi, I kind of get what anon means? Not many people know that he's canonically bisexual, but there is a certain degree of dislike for M/M partnerships where one character has had successful and ostensibly happy/fulfilling ''heterosexual'' relationships. I think it falls into the fandom flanderizing issue, because you have to make a subjective judgement on how valid you think those marriages were. It's far easier to have an objectively gay Wangji or exclusively into one man San Lang, because it protects newer fans from having to defend their headcanons on their actual merits. Nowdays all I see instead is the ''If you ship X it's because you fetishize Y!" crowd, and BingQiu is designed not to appeal to them by virtue of... literally being a takedown of those kind of controlling and ever-hungry fans.

Again a rlly interesting idea, posting for my followers to chew on.

I can definitely see your perspective, and to add onto it personally, I think where a lot of this sort of vagueness falls in is, as usual, all Shen Yuan's (comphet's) fault lol. I think the automatic correction from sqq's very obviously wrong "he was straight, but I turned him gay" yaoi ass concept of binghe's sexuality is "well binghe was gay all along and just into women because of comphet/word of God". I think it's very fair to incorporate this comphet element since sqq, being how he is, is pretty heavy on it, and because a lot of svsss fans resonate with that. I'm not trying to take that away from anyone, so I don't want anyone to think that when I'm referring to Binghe as canonically bisexual I'm at all discounting the perspectives of people who relate to feeling unfulfilled in relationships before realizing their sexuality or whatnot. However, I do personally think that it helps to distinguish sqq's view of sexuality from the rest of pidw and airplane's. Binghe wasn't really born into an environment that had strong societal comphet, unlike sqq. As we learn from Sha Hualing in the airplane extra, demons don't really care about sexuality or even an understanding of what "straight" means. From this, we can kind of assume that Bing-ge is marrying women by choice (of course you can bring in the argument that it was the meta hand of the audience forcing airplane to force him to marry women, but functionally within the story, yeah he's marrying a bunch of girls So) and accent that by noting how Bing-ge has had a history of being abused by men and comforted by women, meaning that even if he did find men attractive, he probably wouldn't trust them the way he does women. Ultimately I do think Binghe as a character is functionally bisexual, and that his unhappy straight marriages were as valid as any other heterosexual boomer marriage where it was happy and lovey dovey at first but then starts souring until the husband is referring to his wife as his ball and chain or some shit.
