#so while i love reading about yrz

[vroomian]

actually maybe the reason Charlie makes the connection from 'yrz' to 'my uncle blue (what she called yrz as a child)' was because yrz, as the only actual responsible person Lucifer knows, was often roped into babysitting while the royal couple were busy or fighting.

i'm picturing yrz in full library demon get up and sitting at a cramped table with three-year-old charlie, having a very serious tea party. it's also important to me you know that yrz can change his height and his library demon form is the tallest. so he's folded in half, knees up to his chest, holding a plastic cup that's thimble-sized compared to him.

the fact that children love yrz hasn't changed, nor has his habit of treating them like small, unfinished people who should be Taught and Listened To Seriously. most of his patience actually goes towards children no matter how little he likes them lol.

also: yrz singning baby Charlie to sleep, of when she gets upset. maybe even the start of baby Charlie's lifelong love of music, coupled with lillith's canon beautiful voice? I'm picturing specifically Little Saphire's lullaby by Ginny Di (change saphire to ruby maybe?), if i were a fish by corook, riverboat shanty by emily axford. just cute sweet little songs.

and then later yrz is hanging out at the hotel and it's late enough that everyone else is asleep, but charlie wanders out (post-meeting adam) because she's worried about heaven. yrz makes her a hot chocolate, and they sit in quiet, and charlies like. why does this feel so familiar? yrz, who is reading a book, starts humming saphires's lullaby unconsciously. then it clicks and charlies like: "uncle blue????? Why are you short now?"

and yrz is like whoops, cats out of the bag lol. also rude. so charlie and lucifer are the only ones who know that yrz is also the library demon.

#me just now: wait. emily axford. d20 emily axford???? #turns out yes. that emily axford! #bizzare! #anyway i love sticking yrz with small impressionable children and watching him sweat lol #it'd be funny if the babysiting was what lucifer demanded as a favor. #charlie knew uncle blue but not the library demon or yrz #hazbin au #bfiasc aus

How would zyx interact with vroomians Yan Ruizhi?

from what i understand about yan ruizhi as a character... the two of them wouldn’t interact if left in the same space. noble gases, inert to reactions. or more like, allergic to interactions

from the side-stories, we get insight into how yrz’s very distant and aloof in general (tho main story shows that it’s more like anxious avoidance, i think), and it takes unrelenting persistence to get close to him. zyx is not the type of person to go out their way to bother someone that doesn’t want to be bothered, especially if they don’t have something that zyx wants/needs.

and zyx is a bit socially deficient. the only person they’ve chosen to interact with outside of courtesy and obligation is jzx, and that was only because he was bullying a merchant making a mess in public. every other time, they would start conversation if it was appropriate for the current social environment and with the people of related standing, as appropriate.

i’m sure if forced to interact bc stuck in dire straits, zyx would be pragmatic about it. it’d be a workable team effort with respect coming from zyx’s end, at the very least. after that, zyx would be willing to expend one (1) effort each time they happen to encounter each other to greet yrz

as for how zyx would think of yrz - given what we know about yrz, it would likely be... - as strangers: there’s enough to notice on yrz’s mannerisms to immediately clock that something is off. - as acquaintances: aight guy. still weird, but innocuous enough. low effort, pleasant interactions aka not someone to 180* and avoid - as judging from knowing yrz’s personality more: no longer favorable. too passive for zyx’s taste, lacking chuan tong guan nian/传统观念/’traditional values & customs’ (or at least, the ability to adapt to them). willfully blind to their own detriment (which might be pot calling kettle black bahaha). too into books to the point it seems like he’s hiding behind them as a crutch. BUT... clever, well-spoken, witty, not lacking potential. which makes the rest of it more frustrating

none of this means that zyx isn’t willing to become friends w him. they’re aware that they have many faults, too--but there is enough similar and enough different that it would take extenuating circumstances to make them mesh on zyx’s side of things.

#what's the etiquette here aaa #i'm trying to answer honestly + objectively + in-character #to my defense (if needed) i've read bfiasc+ditf over 200 times and my ao3 history can prove it #so while i love reading about yrz #zyx would 80% chance have neutral-negative interactions w him #which could be said for most of zyx's interactions if not for *situations* #Anonymous #inquiry #opinionated verm #zyx au's

Yrz would definitely be omega and be like "i used to be a girl but now i'm a boy but still technically a girl" but then he would be like "i don't have time for this i want to read". He would probably make scent supressing talisman so he isn't bothered while reading. Wwx is alpha before reincarnation and omega after. He would fit either role perfectly. Lwj would be alpha but also kinda confused one, probably because there is alpha that doesn't act like alpha and omega that doesn't act like omega.

yrz: -_- too complicated. i don’t care. reading now.

brothers: but-- 

yrz: reading. 

there are soaps and teas to mask scents, and it’s considered polite to use them among the sects (i’ve decided that yrz smells like clean linen and lilacs). unlike the men and women, alpha men and omega men aren’t separated out so yrz and lwj could still be bffs. omega men would be treated like they were more fragile though, so when people assume yrz is a beta due to lack of being -- well, anything like a typical stereotyped omega, he doesn’t correct them. 

i think lxc (alpha) only finds out yrz is an omega like 3 years after they meet. lqr still doesn't know lol. 

lxc: ??? omega?? omega what??? yrz, is what??? 

lwj: mn?

lxc: did you already know? 

lwj:  mm. 

lxc: and you didn’t tell me??? wangji i could have asked about engaging you to yrz ages ago!! let me write to his family --

lwj: ! brother, do not --

it takes a few arguments, but lxc is talked down eventually (under threat of lwj going into seclusion permanently or dying of embarrassment). yrz is so confused for the next few weeks why lwj keeps blushing when he looks at yrz. 

and then wwx shows up, an alpha with like, a very poor sense of smell, i think. to go with his cannon obliviousness. lwj can actually hide his attraction that way. how is yrz ignoring the smell of lwj’s pheromones? practice! all his brothers are alphas, so he just learned to tune it out in self defense. i think wwx would be an omega after reincarnating because honestly? wwx would love the chance to have children of his own.

just got into solo levellingas well. Cywcross's new eldritch jinwoo fic is awesome. You should check it out. Btw what about ruizhi in a drama like nirvana in fire but still have his cultivator powers. Revered deity rzh??

i have read it! i love cywcross’s fics :) 

while that would be funny, i decided early on that yrz would never break the laws of any world he was placed in. if a world has no magic or cultivation, then neither does he. so no deity yrz in a world that doesn’t already have canonical deities of its own. he can be a god in hob because they have a system in place already. 

#yrz has to play be the laws of the world he's in #like hana is always breaking them #and oc kiba is slipping past them #and masa is always just a bit outside them #you've got questions we've got answers #dangerousjudgehoagiepeanut

(headdesk slam) Yes, that was 2/2 percent didn’t even realize I forgot to add it in the message until after I sent it and spent like 5 mins internally screaming at myself. I’m a mess of a human being tbh. Really? I’m surprised because it feels like Xi fits perfectly in this AU. Xi as accidental cryptid is the best thing, in both worlds. That’s a relief to hear. My anxiety and I don’t get along so I tend to go to worst possible scenario. You’ll probably regret that soon enough. 1/2

I’m like a magpie if something catches my interest and I’ll fuss over it and go all crazy. Especially now, seeing that you did that hob oneshot and mdzs that is two of the main three bl web novels that I now of. Like, of the three I’ve only fully read svsss and my mind immediately went to wonder where Xi would fit in that verse and at this point he’d totally be where the biggest amount of knowledge is and that my mind went ‘what if Xi was head disciple of Qing Jing Peak?’ 2/?

But that’s pretty unlikely given Xi’s desperate avoidance of feelings, plot, and responsibility. Though I could totally see him as a reluctant head disciple and desperately trying to avoid plot. Plus, definitely the first to notice that something would be off with this new Qingqiu. That said, bullying in his peak would not fly with him so I could see Binghe crushing on this unknown elder disciple.

3/3 I’m sorry I don’t want to make it seem like I want to push you to write another AU when you’ve got enough on your hands. My mind just just went ‘ooh what if this happened?’ And I wanted to share my thoughts with you because I think it’s interesting. So yeah, again feel free to ignore this. I’m like that guy from the meme with the pictures on the wall and red thread when my brain goes nuts lol.

long ask so this goes under the cut

okay there are a million different ways this question could go, because like. is yrz female in this universe? is he male? is he older than the main characters? is he younger? which sect is he living near? is his family nice or assholes? which version of the story is he in? the sssvs version or the actual original demon path novel (or whatever it’s been a while since i read the novel)??? does yrz get a system??? 

because the answers to those questions change the story drastically 

okay so lets do two versions 

one: it’s sssvs. yrz has a ‘background character system’ or something.  he’s gotta have a system otherwise he wouldn't get without a thousand li of cang qiang sect. so this systems chooses him (lets say he’s a guy in this universe) because its low key and yrz is low key and it was like hey lets be low key together!

lol system. 

lol. 

but the system and yrz get along pretty well, and they get into the peak they want -- which is Wan Jian peak, because if yrz can’t join the library peak because of Plot reasons, he’s going with hsi second love. Swords! plus i don’t think there are literally any named characters from the story, except the peak lord. 

so. timeline wise, i think that none of the peak-lords have ascended yet, so yrz does his natural thing --- he over performs and becomes the head disciple for wan jian peak  as consequence and it’s literally just in time for the former peak lords to ascend, so yrz is like. stuck. as a peak lord. 

both the system and yrz are horrified and confused as to how this happened. or, no, by then the system understands the Mistake it made in choosing yrz. on paper yrz is very unassuming! but in reality yrz has no chill. he’s never even heard of the concept of chill. he does everything at 110%.

I think that the bulk of this story takes place waaaay before the sssvs cannon, and lbh is sir not appearing in this fic. instead its -- liu qingge! and mu qingfang! both??? both is good! i think he meets lqg first, when he challenges yrz to a spar in the middle of a high stakes missing because lqg is a meathead jock at that age, and yrz is like. no? do your job? dumbass. (yrz has no idea who this shouty brat is, because the system is taking a nap. it wakes up and kicks itself for leaving yrz alone to do stuff.) yrz is older than lqg and kicks his ass because... well. because it’s hilarious really. so he gains a lqg shaped stalker. 

yrz has a lot of interest in both sparring and healing, and with lqg following him around, yrz spends a lot of time at the healing peak and meets mqf there. mqf gets a huge crush almost immediately but never said anything. it’s not surprising that yrz quickly bonds with these totally cool new disciples -- and then learns that both of the are the succeeding disciples for their peaks. oops. 

system gives up. 

version two: bing-ge edition! 

no system this time around and yrz stays far far away from the cang qiong. he joins a small sect to learn than fucks off to have adventures by himself as a rouge cultivator. so, male version again BUT yrz gets cursed or something and gets the ability to change gender at will because that’s funny and useful. also you know. porn world written by a “straight” guy. there are reasons for that kind of curse imma just gloss over. 

then the plot happens. all of immortal demon path’s many, many chapters are playing around in the background of yrz’s life, but she manages to stay out of it -- until one night yrz gets accidentally recruited by a cult dedicated to bringing down the evil demon lord lbh, because this cult has a book yrz is after. she ends up being used as bait for lbh (because he eats virgins now according to rumors. he’s up to wife number 249 by now so it’s not wrong !) 

yrz gets ‘saved’ by lbh, who’s kind of smirking and going ‘oh, no need to thank me, it was what anyone would have done,’ while totally expecting sex. yrz is like ‘oh, cool. bye then.’ and just. takes the book and leaves. 

lbh: *surprised pikachu face*

and by the time he registers no sex is going to be happening, yrz is long gone and enjoying her brand new book. 

after that, lbh and yrz end up seeing each other (mostly because lbh is trying to impress this woman and nothing is working) and yrz is like stop being a creep, i’m not interested in you. lbh needs to drink his respect woman juice and downsize on his harem a bit. yrz wouldn’t touch that with a twenty foot pool. 

anyway i think it comes to a head when they both get doused in pa pa pa juice and lbh is like oh this is more familiar, shall we? and yrz is like bitch. and goes to a brothel in the city instead. at this point yrz and lbh are more like antagonistic buddies than anything else. lbh has too many wives and zero friends. 

lbh starts developing some squishy feelings and is like what the fuck is this?? gross?? but he says nothing because he doesn’t get it. 

then the cross over happens, bing-ge vs bing-mei!!! and after than happens, yrz is just chilling at home and lbh shows up at her place like really fucked up and subdued. he’s like ‘why him? why did he get the good teacher? what did he do right?’ 

yrz is like... hm. emotions. ew. she trys anyway because she’s finally ready to admit that she does like this trash goblin at least a little. so she takes care of him while he’s being depressed. lbh cooks for her and she’s like. this is so fucking good. thank you. 

and lbh is just in love now. it’s nothing like he feels for his wives, but yrz makes lbh feels safe and accepted. it’s a comforting and comfortable love. yrz’s stupid little house is more of a home than lbh’s stupid palaces. 

look. i stand by the head cannon that all lbh wants is to be a househusband, no matter what version im talking about. 

lbh vanishes for a whole night. yrz is like hm, my house feels empty now. weird! and then lbh comes back and announces that he just divorced all his wives. he doesn’t want to be powerful anymore so can i stay herer with you. 

yrz is like... sure. 

and then there’s a long, long courtship and lbh marries yrz and archives his dream of just being fucking happy. the end!

reading bfiasc for the nth time, and somehow i completely missed that ruizhi was shirtless when he caught wwx while training. i love how dumb these two are, yrz has zero awareness of how others regard him, and is out half-naked in broad daylight while wwx is spying on the cute guy who saved him and prob lost a massive chunk of brain cells when yrz started stripping. gotta press f for lwj and his stress levels when it comes to wrangling his future husbands. ty for writing such a good fic.

wwx is a one brain cell bitch at all times, no exceptions!! but yeah yrz is Pretty Cut for reasons of Sword and wwx’s grip slipped on both brain cell and branch and he took a fall into hormone hell. his thoughts were just fdhjkslahfjdklahs!!!!, and then he was in the built arms of a drool-worthy boy for the second time in as many days! its a good thing that wwx’s mouth isn’t connected to his brain at all, or he would’ve just been going UM. UM!! UM!!!

yrz is totally polite and rule-abiding until he’s unforgivably casual. he’s got Habits from being a filthy American for a lot of years. training shirtless is fine right it's not like he’s got boobs (anymore) :) right wangji?:)

lwj, totally blank-faced: This Punishment for My Crimes. My Thirst is Eternal. My Suffering is Without End. Mm.

yrz: wangji agrees :) 

thanks for reading! i’m about 1000 words into chapter six so it’s a fourth done??? hopefully?? idk wordcount is a Mystery on the best day. my first scene is already 500 words longer than i wanted it to be so  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it will include more suffering! LGBTQIA discussions! wwx gets smacked with a clue-by-four! yrz is still allergic to sincerity, but he’s tyring! babysitting! jzx being himself, unfortunately! drunken shenanigans! consequences!
