OKAY WAIT I SAW THIS POST AND IT MADE ME THINK OF LIKE-
Shen Yuan transmigrates into Luo Binghe, BUT Luo Binghe's soul doesn't exactly like... Leave?
Like there's that one really popular fic that always comes up on ao3 search results that I haven't gotten around to reading yet where Shen Jiu reloads into Shen Qingqiu's body and he and Shen Yuan have to work at being Shen Qingqiu together BUT LIKE CONSIDER THAT SAME CONCEPT BUT WITH SHEN YUAN LOADED INTO BINGHE'S BODY-
Shen Yuan dies, and wakes up in the world of PIDW, watching the events play out from Luo Binghe's perspective
It's a bit weird to get used to, getting used to watching events play out in this way, but he thinks he's grown so obsessed with PIDW that instead of watching his life play out before his eyes, he's watching Binghe's play out instead
But in true Peerless Cucumber fashion, Shen Yuan cannot stay silent while Binghe endures such abuse, and finds himself cursing out this shitty movie for Binghe to actually do something and fight back
Imagine his surprise when Binghe suddenly stops what he's doing and acknowledges Shen Yuan's comments that have appeared like a voice in his head
Cue mass confusion and panic and eventually Shen Yuan figures out that Binghe can hear him??? Somehow?? Similar to how I imagine Meng Mo will function in the future but Binghe has not yet encountered Meng Mo so he's very shocked and Shen Yuan is also very shocked
Cue Shen Yuan realizing that he's in a very unique position to help make Binghe as OP as possible without any of the trauma because uhh maybe without having a physical body, he doesn't get a System?
Meng Mo eventually appears and Shen Yuan gets a "physical" body in Binghe's dreamscape but by this point Shen Yuan has been doing such a good job of teaching Binghe everything he needs to know about everything, Binghe has already extremely latched onto Shen Yuan (and the shizun obsession begins once more)
Anyways, we basically get Shen Yuan guiding Binghe through the plot of PIDW and reshaping it to his making, much to the chagrin of Shang Qinghua, who very much still has a System and is still stuck trying to move the plot along
Cue shenanigans and things actually relevant to the plot, and maybe a cool mechanic of Binghe being able to pass control over to Shen Yuan at certain points?
And long story short it ends with overpowered Demon Lord Binghe sans the harem of so many women finally finding a way to get Shen Yuan's soul out of his head and into a body of his own
Shen Yuan, being super fucking oblivious assumes that Binghe has not pursued the harem because he didn't want Shen Yuan spying on his papayaing with his many numerous wives and turns to leave Binghe to a life in peace or something only to get wifed to Binghe himself
Bonus sequel fic ideas if getting his own body gives Shen Yuan a system of his own but because he's essentially an OC, his mission requirements are basically to fulfill as many wife plots or something lighthearted and stupid type deal

In the Snow (Cold Front)
***
This fandom does not have enough fanfiction for what the game is worth so have this to try and make up for it.
This game was developed by @racheldrawsthis and it’s completely free, I highly recommend you try it out!
Link to the game

Warnings: Bullying??, minor violence
Ships: Romantic or Platonic Winnie x Augustine (Though considering they are still children; it would probably be better to see it as platonic.)
Synopsis: “Come on Winnie!” A young Augustine exclaimed as he tugged Winnie out of his front door by the sleeve. “It has not snowed in ages here; we have to enjoy it as much as we can!”
“I don’t want to!” The poor boy whined, resisting him as much as he could and holding onto the doorway like his life depended on it. “The others would not want to play with me!”

“Come on Winnie!” A young Augustine exclaimed as he tugged Winnie out of his front door by the sleeve. “It has not snowed in ages here; we have to enjoy it as much as we can!”
“I don’t want to!” The poor boy whined, resisting him as much as he could and holding onto the doorway like his life depended on it. “The others would not want to play with me!”
Augustine pouted at that, his eyes narrowing in a cute frown as he suddenly let the other boy go who, not expecting that, yelped as he ended up falling backwards. Thankfully though, any major incident was prevented as the culprit caught Winnie into a hug.
“How can you be so sure when you didn’t even try?” Augustine questioned, turning the other around before grabbing his cheeks and squishing them. “We talked about that yesterday you know!”
Winnie looked down, one of his hands on Augustine’s wrists. If he had any plan to push the other child away, it was soon abandoned as he stared at the ground, eyes filled with potential tears.
“I know...” He sniffled. “But I can’t help it, I don’t want to be alone, but I don’t want to impose either--”
“You won’t be, I’m telling you!” Augustine sighed as he let the other’s face alone. “But if you’re that scared, I guess we can try it another time. We can just spend some time together.”
Winnie looked up, bighting up. “Really? That doesn’t bother you? I mean, I wouldn’t want to prevent you from playing with your friends--”
Before he could go on any further, he jolted as he felt the other flick his forehead.
“I told you, if you want me to be your friend, you’re going to have to make me want to be your friend and so far, you haven’t had the opportunity to do that so today is the day!” He then pointed his finger toward Winnie. “You better put in your best effort because I only make friends with cool people!”
Winnie blinked his tears away, smiling as his traits adjusted to the determination burning in his soul. “I will do my best!” He exclaimed, earning a nod of approval from the other boy.
“Good good, that’s the spirit!” He grabbed one of Winnie’s gloved hands before pointing to the horizon. “Let’s go on an adventure then! We’re going to save and give the snowmen the land they rightfully deserve!”
Winnie titled his head to the side. “What does that mean though?”
“I have no clue!” Augustine proudly said, his free hand on his hip. “It sounded cool though, so I said it!”
“It did.” Winnie enthusiastically agreed, letting himself be dragged by the other to the nearest park.
As they walked, a few of Augustine’s friends waved at them to which he responded by waving back and having Winnie do so as well. A sigh of relief left the other boy as the other children did not seem to react badly to it, simply going back to their own activities with a smile.
The two of them arrived near a frozen lake, a giant tree hiding them from sight. Once they reached that spot, Augustine let go of Winnie’s hand and face planted into the snow, waving his arms and legs around to make a snow angel.
Winnie blinked, chuckling before joining him, the silhouettes of the angel seeming to merge with one another near their arm.
Winnie was the first to stand up again to admire their work, smiling brightly. “I’ve never done a snow angel before.” He admitted, the other boy, who was still on the ground, gasping from shock.
“You haven’t? You missed half of what is good in life then!” Augustine stood up as well, watching Winnie curiously.
“Well, where I’m from it never really snowed so...” He pat him on the back, before running off to another spot.
Winnie followed him, albeit a bit slower than him. “Does that mean you’ve never done a snowman as well?” Augustine asked, already gathering snow chunks for the construction of a new being.
Winnie shook his head, crouching next to him and watching what he was doing. “I’ve never made one.”
Augustine thought hard for a bit before speaking up again. “In that case, I’ll teach you! Better follow what I do well!”
Winnie saluted. “Sir, yes sir!”
The other boy tilted his head to the side, his confusion so clear it would be easy to imagine a question mark drawn next to his head.
“The people in the TV always do that.” Winnie explained sheepishly, scratching the back of his head. “Was that weird?”
The two stared into each other’s eyes in silence for a solid three seconds before bursting out laughing together.
“Alright, no more joking around!” Augustine stated, still laughing in between his words. “We still have many people to make with the snow!”
“Sorry!” Winnie apologized, quickly getting into position.
***
“Augustine?” His mother’s voice suddenly reached his ears, interrupting the two children in their endeavour. “Where are you?”
“Oh no!” Said child whispered, face palming. “I totally forgot to tell Mom we were going to the park!” He turned to look at his companion. “Winnie, can you keep guard for me? I won’t take long, I promise!”
Said boy nodded, his hands still in the snow trying to make a good base. “You can count on me!”
“Thank you, I’ll be right back!” With that, Augustine ran off toward his mother to explain their disappearance, leaving Winnie with their snowman friends, not suspecting that anything would happen.
***
‘Wow, it took more time than I thought to calm Mom down!’ The boy thought to himself as he walked back behind the tree. Just as he was about to step in though, he suddenly stopped in his tracks as he heard a sob.
He ran there, worried in his tone as he passed the tree. “Winnie? Are you o--”
His eyebrows furrowed at the sight in front of him. Their snowmen were gone, most of their parts lying miserably on the ground and even their snow angels disappeared, their forms having been deformed because of being trampled. Footsteps covered them and were oriented toward the weeping Winnie in the middle of the snowmen graveyard, missing his winter outfit and left in his indoor clothes.
Having heard him, the other child turned in his direction and just cried harder upon seeing him.
“I’m sorry!” He cried out, burying his face in his hands. “I really tried to protect the snowmen; I really did! But--”
“Hey hey, calm down!” He crouched to his level, his hands in front of him to show he was not angry. “What happened? And where is your coat?”
Winnie sniffled, shaking. “These tall people came in and destroyed everything!” He made big gestures with his hands as if to show the other the difference in height between him and them. “And when I tried to stop them, they slapped me and took my clothes!” He wept as indignation passed through the other boy’s face.
He was about to insult them, most probably, but then he took notice of how red Winnie’s face looked and realized that he must have been freezing there. Just to make sure, he grabbed one of Winnie’s hands in his own and even through the fabric, he could feel how cold the limb was.
“You’re so cold!” He remarked, standing up and pulling the other on his two legs as well. “We have to go back inside before you get a cold!”
“But--” Winnie looked back at the snowmen carcass.
“No but, come on!” He took off one of his gloves and handed it to the other boy. “Here take this one!”
Winnie frowned. “But what about your other hand?”
“It’s fine,” he reassured, taking one of Winnie's freezing hands in his warm ones. “See?”
The boy finally nodded, slipping the glove on. They began walking toward the entrance of the park before they were stopped by the other children who noticed the unusual state of the newcomer.
“Augustine!” One of them called out, his eyes darting back and forth between said child and Winnie. “Why is your friend crying?”
With encouragement from him, Winnie started explaining what happened during Augustine’s absence, a small group of children forming around them.
“That’s horrible!” A girl exclaimed before unwrapping her scarf and handing it to him. “Here, you can have that for now! I have a hood anyway, I’ll be fine!”
“O-oh-” Winnie stuttered, taking it, and thanking her quietly. He looked surprised at how kind the other children were being to him right now. Turning to Augustine, he noticed the way the other looked at him as if saying ‘I told you they would like you.’
“Do you remember what the bad guys looked like?” One of the boys suddenly asked, gaining everyone’s attention.
“They were two.” He began, looking up at the sky. “One of them was really tall with orange hair and freckles on his face and the other had dark hair and brown glasses--”
“With a line across his cheek, right?” Said boy finished, Winnie looking up at him in surprise.
“Yes... how did you know?”
“My father told me about them.” He responded. “Apparently, they are in middle school and are well-known for causing trouble.”
“We can’t let them get away with this!” Augustine suddenly exclaimed, making Winnie jump in surprise. “Do you know where they could have gone?”
As the group all thought deeply, one girl suddenly pointed toward the entrance. “Look, they’re the bad guys, right?”
“Wow, it’s really them!” Another guy said. “We should get the adul--”
But he did not have the time to finish his sentence, Augustine already running toward them. Since they were holding hands, Winnie was brought along as well, their two silhouettes leaving the area as the other children sighed and ran in the opposite direction to get their parents.
***
“Hey you!” Augustine called out, pointing at the ginger person, who was holding Winnie’s bright blue coat in his hands. “Give Winnie his coat back!”
His friend scoffed at him. “You should go home kid; your parents must be so worried about you.” The other snickered, not paying any attention to the two children.
“Not until you give it back and apologize!” He stood firmly in place as Winnie’s face paled seeing the reaction of the two others at the last word. He attempted to drag him to safety but the other would not budge.
“Apologize?” The taller one repeated before laughing as he gripped the child by the collar. “Now listen here--”
“Put him down!” Winnie shouted, grabbing the attention of the other guy.
“Ah for fuck’s sake, do they not know how to shut up?” He groaned, walking menacingly toward Winnie.
The boy froze, looking around in panic. His eyes landed on Augustine who still looked as brave as ever despite being in a very disadvantageous position. He wanted to run away but that expression stopped him.
He was there because of him; it was not right for him to just run now!
He noticed a little rock by his feet and without thinking grabbed it, along with a ball of snow before chucking one at the middle schooler walking toward him and the other at the one holding Augustine captive.
The rock landed on the guy’s cheek, making him take a step back and reached the other in the eye, making him yelp in pain as he released both Augustine and Winnie’s coat.
“You’re gonna pay for that!” The one with the glasses yelled as he sprinted toward Winnie, fist raised. The child braced himself for the impact, raising his arms to protect himself but it was in vain as an adult voice came from behind.
“Stephen!” The teenager froze in shock. “How many times have I told you to stop bothering the other children?!” The woman yelled, freezing the two.
“But Mom-”
“No but!” She replied, grabbing both teenagers by the ear, and dragging them somewhere else to scold them. Their father stayed behind, reaching for Winnie’s coat, and handing it back to him.
“I’m sorry for my sons’ behavior.” He sighed, helping Augustine. “Were you two hurt?” They both shook their heads, making the man heave in a sigh of relief.
“Thank the stars, I’ll make sure this never happens again, you can count on me for that.” The two children nodded as the adult walked away toward his wife.
Winnie played with his fingers, feeling too guilty about putting Augustine in danger to look him in the eyes. “I...”
“That was so cool!” The other exclaimed, snapping the other into focus. Augustine had stars in his eyes as he shook the other child. “The way you just went peeew with the rock and snow was awesome!” He praised, rendering the other speechless.
He was finally released, the other grinning from ear to ear as he extended his fist toward him. “I’ve made my decision; I want to be your friend!”
Winnie’s eyes sparkled at that as he fist bumped him. “Thank you, Auggie!”
The other tilted his head. “Auggie?”
“Ah-” Winnie’s cheecks flushed in embarrassment. “I’m sorry I uh... that came out of nowhere!”
“It’s fine, it sounds cool! You can keep calling me that.” He shook his hand. “Happy to be your friend, Winnie.”
***
“Well, someone seems to be in a good mood!” Winnie’s mother remarked as she put the plate on the table. “What happened?”
“I made a friend.” The boy with a wide grin replied.

Vin Jin x Reader: Studying
Vin helps you to study. Shocking.
Music Theory.
The bane of your existence. You hate this goddamn module. You hate there's an exam coming up accounting for 30% of your overall grade. You hate it with every fiber of your being.
Ugh.
"What's this bullshit?" Vin leans over your right shoulder, face just inches from yours, bluelight from the laptop screen reflecting off his sunglasses.
"Bull. Shit." you respond, punctuating each syllable with contempt.
You study his profile, the angle of his sharp jawline, the way his lips slightly parts when concentrating. Listening to his soft breaths, the pattern of his easy inhales and exhales; a brief moment of peace from your academic headaches.
After a beat, he turns towards you with a patronising grin. Your eyes flicker again to his lips.
"Dumbass. You don't get tonal harmony? It's easy as shit."
Vin's grin doesn't fade when you glower at him, though he does pull up a chair.
With his arm around you, he fills the rest of your night with his voice. Talking to you about tonal centres and dominant functions until your head swims.
In the early hours of the morning, with Vin still by your side, it sinks in. You didn't think he had the patience.
.
.
You both fall into a rhythm.
Vin seeks you out most evenings, where you're sitting in the library with your head in your hands, hair looking further frazzled as the exam date creeps closer, the bags becoming more pronounced under your eyes.
He mocks you for your stupidity, "It's simple, dipshit." Laughs at your idiocy when he repeats something for the third time, chest puffing with pride at how easily he gets this, how music just comes naturally to him, he doesn't need to study. Competitive streak never giving up even where you are concerned.
And when finally, it clicks, he makes fun of your appearance instead.
"You look like shit," he deadpans. "Duke Pyeon, is that you?"
Vin, as always, is merciless and relentless; taking far too much enjoyment from his barbed snipes.
But he feels the ripples beneath the surface, under his own persona he has carefully curated over the years.
Without fail, he brings you snacks and drinks, moaning about you wasting his time and money. You didn't even ask.
Notices your exasperated movements when he scrolls through notifications and messages, and his attention should be elsewhere. He pockets his phone with a put-upon sigh, as if he wasn't waiting for his next cue.
Ruffles your hair roughly after you correctly answer a question, making it look uncannily like a bird's nest. Yet his pulse staccatos when you peer up at him with an annoyed expression.
Leans closer under the guise of reading what's on the screen, until his body is touching yours and he can feel the quickening of your heartbeat.
The tempo of his matches yours.
.
.
After the exam, you sprint out of the hall, relishing your freedom.
Under a gingko tree, Vin waits for you, though he will deny this to the end.
He brags about how the top marks are his, there's no way he didn't get 100%, maybe even 101%. Because he's just that good.
And you can't help but agree. He really is that good.
He calls you stupid, and would be surprised if you pass.
Vin's words are cutting except his blades are blunt. The insult lands on deaf ears and bounces off, never intending to hurt in the first place.
Then he changes tact, and instead if you do pass then it's all because of him. That you owe him one, he's very in-demand he'll have you know, he's wasted so much time with you, you better show how grateful you are-
You feelings reach a crescendo.
His mouth runs, but your heart sprints and you can't take it any more.
Up on your tiptoes, bodies lightly grazing, you press your lips to his.
Behind his sunglasses, Vin stares at you in shock and his body freezes.
There's a racing pulse but it's impossible to tell whether it belongs to you or him.
Just as you begin to regret your decision and pull away, breaking the connection-
Vin's arms snake around your waist, holding you tightly chest-to-chest and continuing where you left off.
You kiss again and it's a symphony.
