Rotating an older river demon yqy picking up SJ and spending a year or two trying to get him ready to apply for CQMS.

SJ, of course, is paranoid that YQY is gonna eat him and then a little offended that that he isn’t even good enough to eat.

YQY is amused about how many demon-like qualities this kid has and thinks it’s endearing how much he hisses and spits without having any claws or teeth to back it up. SJ thinks it’s pathetic that yqy is so much of a failure of a demon that he can’t even find it in him to kill some half starved kid. He complains and curses, all while secretly pleased at finally having a full stomach and having a demon claw through his hair to put it in a neat braid every night.

SJ enters CQMS with an eclectic fighting style but a lot of practical experience with demons and a nearly useless amount of information about different river beds. As SJ starts to climb the steps he looks back one last time at YQY’s pleasantly smiling face and promises to become strong enough to be recognized by yqy as a proper threat some day.

YQY lingers around the city at the base of the mountain until the end of fall, occasionally seeing SJ when he descends the mountain to look for him. Eventually YQY has to idk hibernate or something and return to the river he used to live on, jokingly telling SJ that if they meet again, maybe he’ll be worth eating by then.

“As if I’d let you!”

When the last of the snow thaws, SJ waits at the base lf CQMS, disappointed when YQY doesn’t return.

In his third year at CQMS, a plain package is delivered to QJP, the characters for SJ carefully written by a clumsy hand. There is no letter inside, only a perfectly polished grey stone with a low thrum of demonic qi. When SJ prods at it with his own qi, a cooling sensation spreads from the top of his head to his the tip of his toes. It brings to mind the countless summer days SJ spent sun burned, complaining of the heat, while yqy sunned on a warm rock or sandy river bank. If he closes his eyes, he could almost picture YQY’s toothy grin right before biting into a raw fish.

Demons don’t experience time in the same way as humans, YQY’s gifts coming sporadically over several years. A knife made from some creature’s bone, a particularly strong rope, an ink stone with something that looks suspiciously like blood in the design’s crevices. A handful of trinkets that could be easily mistaken for garbage slowly accumulates in the qiankun pouch that SJ always carries on his person.

But still no sign of YQY.

Of course SJ looks for him.

He retraces their journey for to the sect, pouring over countless maps to stop at every river or stream. YQY had been already returning to his home when he found SJ, taking an extended detour to take him to a sect.

When thirteen years go by without a single gift or sight of the demon, SJ is reluctant to accept the possibility that his qi-ge might have met his fate at the end of some cultivator’s sword or in the jaws of another demon. The years have washed the details away, he had no way of knowing how strong YQY truly was, or the precise tilt of his lips when he smiled in the way to hide his teeth.

SJ thinks of his time with yqy often, to the point that when he sees a dirty boy digging a hole rubbing a stone tied to a string around his neck, he reacts immediately. The boy looks up at SJ confused, the flush on his cheeks slowly receding with the cooling effect of the stone. Curly hair tied back neatly into a tight braid. Well fed.

Good enough to eat, even.

“You there, what is your name?”

The boy bites his bottom lip, trying to discretely tuck his necklace into the collar of his tunic. Clumsily, he brings his fists up in greeting, looking up at SJ through curling lashes.

“This unworthy one is Luo Binghe, immortal master.”

An itch at the back of SQQ’s brain prompts him to ask, “Luo?”

“For the Luo River, sir.”

[10thmusemoon]

No but seriously if Shen Jiu realised that by giving into his meanest desires at Yue Qingyuan would make that man cum buckets then Luo Binghe would have had a normal time at Qing Jing Peak

Shen Jiu gets to get out his urge to beat the crap out of people AND have a "functioning" relationship with his Qi-ge

He isn't going to abuse kids! He needs to save his whipping for Qi-ge!

And he'd probably move on from violence to just like edging the man for days and other kinks that let him feel in control

And Yue Qingyuan is ON BOARD always

Even when he shouldn't be

Because underneath it all they match freaks

[10thmusemoon]

A line that won’t leave me this morning is

“The problem with Yue Qingyuan was not only that Shen Qingqiu never want to see his stupid smiling face again, but that he also deeply wished no one else would see it either.”

Possessive Xiao Jiu is still there underneath it all

[10thmusemoon]

“When Shen Qingqiu came up Qiong Ding Peak of his own accord, not only was Yue Qingyuan astonished but happy, practically every disciple at the scene was itching to raise a cheer and call everyone to come watch the show.”

My favorite “only survived the plot because no one could replace their administrative skills” characters

[10thmusemoon]

may I suggest a new mutuals symbol?

[10thmusemoon]

I just think a lot more of you would like YQY if he was the one bottoming for SJ or leaned enthusiastically, into the service top that he is dying to be.

You can fit so much begging into this shixiong.

[10thmusemoon]

While Shen Jiu would initially scoff at “would you still love me if I was a worm?” He would not so secretly love it if Yue Qingyuan said he would still love him if he was a worm and would not so subtly prod YQY for how he would take care of and cherish worm-Jiu

Shen Jiu would declare he absolutely would NOT love YQY if he was a worm because that’s DISGUSTING. but when frantically trying to find YQY after a weird qi deviation and stumbling upon an errant worm, he holds it very gently and says it will be okay and kisses its little head (?), which human man YQY who just stumbled out of the bushes finds soul meltingly adorable.

[10thmusemoon]

It’s always de-aged Shen Jiu and never de-aged Yue Qi…

9~ year old YQ following SJ around like a puppy absolutely ecstatic bc he and Xiao Jiu really become cultivators and are still together as grownups. YQ insisting on calling SJ Jiu-ge and getting to actually play like a kid bc he’s not responsible for a horde of other children. One of the peak lords revealing to him that no, he and SJ are not married as grown ups and him crying so hard he throws up

[10thmusemoon]

Started SVSSS for the silly premise, slowing trudging through all the tragic lore and implecations.

[10thmusemoon]

POV: you just joined the greatest sect and got accepts by the scholarly peak master and just handed him tea for the acceptance ceremony

aita for ignoring the "dibs" protocol for my best friends corpse?

I (none of your business, M) lost my best friend (Immortal Cultivator, M) to demon-brat-induced self-detonation a few years ago. Said demon brat (20-ish, M) called "dibs" on his body and took it home with him.

We have been fighting daily for my best friend's corpse since I believe it rightfully belongs in the burial place of his forefathers (ETA: not his literal forefathers. He's an orphan. Or something, I don't know). Demon Brat says he called dibs when best friend self-detonated and claims he's going to find a way to bring best friend back from the dead.

I wouldn't believe this fucking beast as far as I can throw him (which is really, really far) so I tried to break both his legs and arms to prevent me from getting my best friends corpse back so I can lay him to rest.

Demon Brat healed, broke my nose, kneed me in the dick and said he called dibs and that I'm the asshole for trying to "take his shizun".

so AITA?

AITAH for trying to ruin my son’s relationship?

I (652M) have a son (idk maybe 80? 14?M) who has major hots for his milf teacher (milf age M). Teacher is just insanely slutty, absolutely built to take dick. My son isn’t even 100 yet (I think), he would have no idea what to do with all that. Meanwhile, me and me nephew (187M) are older and know how to treat a lady (gender neutral). Ideally I would like to marry my nephew to teacher after having my way with him, but teacher is very attached to son. Son is also rather volatile- teacher pushed him into the abyss at some point and he recently climbed out. He’s nothing I can’t handle, but he keeps threatening to destroy my rpf collection if I keep trying to fuck his little crush.

I decided that soft power was probably the best way to go, so I started writing rpf about teacher and son getting a messy divorce. I gift them to teacher, which he always graciously accepts. Currently I’m working on a harem drama AU where teacher leaves son for nephew after a life changing night in my bed.

Son attacked me unprompted and accused me of trying to ruin his relationship. Which I am, but it’s in everyone’s best interest! Nephew has never had a partner before- not even during his heats- and he could really use an older man to take care of him. Clearly he needs teacher more than son. So am I the asshole?
