I Feel Like This Could Have Already Been Said Because It Just Seems So Obvious But I Haven't Found Any

Shen twins au where Shen Jiu's qi deviation (the one that killed him in cannon) almost kills him and messes up his cultivation (and health) to the point where he won't be able to act as peak lord. Though SJ, refusing to let anyone knows this (show vulnerability) decides to get someone to cover/pretend to be him. Cut to Shen Yuan, who is a rouge cultivator, being dragged into the role of peak lord (only YQY and MQF know its not SJ).

Everything goes as it dose in cannon though SY dose talk to SJ to give him reports on what's going on. SJ lectures him about being too nice and ruining his reputation but SY doesn't listen.

Anyway, after the immortal alliance conference SJ is finally ready to retake up his role, which is great because SY isn't all there mentally. People chalk the personality change to SQQ grieving. Plus, SJ doesn't feel as terribly about everyone after hearing SY talk about them so positively.

I think LBH reunion with his shizun would just SJ chewing him out for causing SY so much grief. At this point he dgaf about not letting LBH know that him and SY are different people, his twin is hurting. LBH realizes that SY regretted what he did and decides to track down SY. I'm guessing this doesn't go too well but LBH doesn't think SY hates him so they do get to talk at some point

Anyway they get married eventually, SJ hates this

So lbh definitely talked to sqq's corpse during those five years. Maybe he told his dead shizun about his day or his worries (both politically and in the dead shizun flavors). Though I think my favorite would be just talking about his feelings, especially since he never got to do that before everything happened (and honestly that could have saved a lot of time)

Cut to post cannon and Luo Binghe still has this habit, just instead of Shen Qingqiu being dead he's just sleeping. So some (most if not all) mornings when Luo Binghe wakes up before Shen Qingqiu he'll just sort of talk about things. It's usually a lot less emotionally charged since, well, sqq is actually alive, but still. I also imagine if there's ever stuff he doesn't want to burden sqq with knowing, he'll just end up telling it to him when he's asleep. Adding this with the headcannon that it took Bingqiu a long time to actually say 'I love you', I think that Luo Binghe would tell sleeping sqq that he loves him

Tgcf Fic I wish existed/promt???

!Spoiler warning!

So, pretty much, somehow, someway, after the events of cannon (minus the year that Xie Lian waited) Hualian kick the bucket, don't ask me to explain why. Its ideally after they win the fight against Jun Wu.

Obviously thing one (Feng Xin) and Thing two (Mu Qing) are distraught but years go by and the pain dulls. Oddly enough people do pray to hualian statues, usually asking for love, despite it being known that they are gone. Well, no big deal, mortals are weird.

Anyway, one day Mu Qing gets a few prayers about some ghost in a small town. Usually Feng Xin would be with him but the man likes to keep himself busy during this time (the anniversary). By the time he gets there some local cultivator had already worked things out. Peacefully too, hoe odd. So Mu Qing decides to investigate, perhaps someone destined to ascend.

He some how finds himself at a temple to Hualian, yay... though, there is the cultivator he was looking for. It's a young woman (probably a good thing Feng Xin didn't go) in peach colored robes. She didn't look anything special, her tanned skin indicated that she probably helped out in the fields. She has kind eyes.

What was she doing at that temple though? Praying for love? Maybe not praying but love was definitely a cause. Their was another young woman (oh God, another one) who tended to the shrine. She was probably about a year younger then the cultivator. She wore dark pink robes, almost red and her hair was on a lopsided ponytail.

Anyone could tell by the way they looked at each other... and... wait, Mu Qing recognized the cultivator's smile and the foxish smirk from the other

Oh

Mu Qing thought that gods did reincarnate. That's what everyone knew... but...

His Highness... Her Highness? Looked happy andsodidthatannoyinglittlebratturmedsupreme

Maybe it was best to let them have their peace...

Mu Qing returned back to heaven, something in his chest feeling lighter

I can't wait for my future employers see this :3

unprotected sex with an emo girl call that rawrdogging

Poorly drawn sketch because this hasn't left my head for three days :P

yeah twink shen yuan this hunky binghe that, in all honesty the image of some scruffy awkwardly tall lanky mid 20's nerd with a half shaven tired face standing next to a seemingly perfect almost androgynous gorgeous beauty of a man is 5x more hilarious, bc imagine witnessing an absolute supermodel influencer (who's known to be a ladykiller) crying and clinging to some guy who looks like he's on the verge of having a midlife crisis at only 24 tiredly patting said supermodel's head and in a deep dead pan voice saying, "no dumpling, you can't murder that girl just because she said my xianxia themed legos were stupid." like you can't tell me that the stark contrast and impact would be nearly the same if it were your typical twink sy and hunk binghe.

Look, SY wife-beaming everyone is amazing and all but how about him just Mom-beaming everyone. I don't mean both, I mean just becoming a mother figure to random people/people he barely knows, no romantic feelings (at least in most cases).

He probably feels like it isn't much but I can definitely see him comforting his fellow sect members/peak lords and it actually sticks with them. I especially imagine it for (platonic) cumplane, EX:

Sqh: it's my fault... everyone's suffering is all my fault. How can I even face anyone... I'm a terrible person

Sqq: Tolkien is scum

Sqh: What?! No, what are you talking about it? How is that even relevant???

Sqq: Shakespeare too

Sqh: I- I mean I guess I could believe that- wait! No, answer my questions! What are you talking about?

Sqq: Really most authors are

Sqh: Hey! What's that supposed to mean?

Sqq: Well according to your logic

Sqh: I didn't say any of that

Sqq: You're blaming yourself just for writing tragedy

Sqh: Yeah, but mines real

Sqq: Who's to say any other authors works aren't real?

Sqh: I... I mean I guess but-

Sqq: You were just writing, you weren't meaning to hurt anyone. This never was supposed to be real. Its not something you have the weight in to prosecute yourself. You just wrote fiction and if that's so wrong then everyone who ever wrote any form of tragedy are terrible scum. That's not something you get to be the judge of.

Sqh: bro...

And then sqq just freaking leaves to go do something

I think it would be really funny if (disciple au) Shen Yuan got banned from telling spooky stories whenever it's promoted (ex. A mission or really anything that has them camp outside)

My thought process is that he decides to tell just the plot of his favorite modern day horror movies/games because who doesn't, and plus they'll be original

Though what he doesn't think of is that ghost and demons are actually real in his current world so he's essentially just telling his fellow disciples what sounds like really messed up true crime

Some disciple: Shen Shixiong should tell a scarey story next!

SY: Alright... actually since we're doing research on a vengeful ghost I got the perfect story!

Some time later

SY: and when they woke up, he was gone. Disappeared with out a trace... except a pile of stones outside their tent. They toppled it to look inside and there, in a shred of his clothes, were bloody teeth

Someone starts crying thinking that they're going to get snatched in the middle of the night.

Low key feel like I'm dying so I might not be making any sense but "Not sorry for loving you" from epic is so Bingqiu coded

Except instead of ody (or sqq in this case) saying "not in the way you want me to" it goes silent because sqq sacrificed himself (again)

Idk maybe there's no vip necromancy from the system and so sqq is dead dead. The last part is poor bingbing hating that that this keeps happening, that no matter what sqq always slips through his fingers, even when sqq wants him back

But do yall see my vision, with lbh apologizing for being too much but still loving sqq

Then he also talks about how when sqq started being kind he felt like it was things finally turning around for him or something, idk

My personal favorite hc of mine is that sqq has a hard time falling asleep without lbh (he stresses about his husband's well-being/Binghe’s anxiety has rubbed off on him). This leads him to sometimes fall asleep in odd places.

Imagine Binghe finishes up what ever work he had to do earlier than expected and decides to surprise Shen Qingqiu. He shows up at Qing Jing Peak, exciting to see his husband.

He can't find him. Why? Sqq fell asleep against a tree while on a walk. Now, of course, like any reasonable person, Binghe freaks out.

So, eventually Sqq come back to an overturned peak and his husband looking like this:

Random headcannon I had about pre transmigration sqh/airplane that I had.

I think Sqh had long-ish hair in his past life because he thought constant hair cuts are a waste of money and time (two things he doesn't have. He probably tried to cut it by himself once and failed miserably. So now (or at least b4 he died) he just trims his bangs. Though the only reason he has bangs in the first place is because the man bun look freaked him out. He probably could style it but he doesn't have time so he just throws it in a bun.
