I don’t remember voting on this. But I did lol

y'all I need help

Option 1-> we'll have luo binghe as the butler (enamored) and an extremely hostile version of the song 'to be a princess'. Also Yue Qingyuan as the Dominic the foreign prince.

Option 2-> we'll have Shen Jiu (long-lost prince to the Qiu kingdom) pointing out everybody's stupidity and also gunning for the throne, if only to keep his creepy ass brother off it. Also Rescued servant-handmaiden Qi-ge. As well as Luo Binghe the foreign prince wondering what the fuck happened to his caustic betrothed, why's he so lovable now? And Shen Yuan having a frankly wonderful time, why it's a dream come true

Barbie Princess and the Pauper.

SVSSS.

If you make SY Annalise, and SJ Erika, that fits with their backstories. The princess is the rich kid and the pauper is the former slave. (The image of SJ glaring at SY instead of singing ‘I’m just like you~’ is so funny to me.)

Then that would make LBH Julian, Annalise’s tutor. As I started writing this post, I was going to argue flipping SY and SJ around, because it would make sense for LBH to be King Dominic, but then I actually thought things through.

You have Prince Shen Yuan, who is going to be married to a foreign king to save his kingdom. He doesn’t want to do it. All he wants to do is read his trashy books, and is actually a little in love with his servant LBH, but he will for his people. Duty and all that.

Shen Jiu works in a dress shop in town. They don’t own him, technically. Not in the same way his past masters did. But in every way that matters, really. He owes them a great deal of money, so he can’t leave. And it’s… fine. It’s not the worst job, even if he will be working there forever after his childhood friend tragically abandoned him. But he gets food most days and the ladies (other than the owner) like him. This doesn’t stop him from being a angry, bitter man, of course. He’s still SJ after all lol

They may or may not sing a duet about doing what’s right, in the name of duty.

SY wants to see the city, just one time before he’s trapped in the castle! So LBH takes him downtown, where SY runs into SJ. They may or may not have a musical number about how much they look alike.

Then, like the movie, SY gets kidnapped. I don’t know who Preminger is here. I thought about it, and I can’t decide who to put there. It can’t be LBH’s family, tho, because then why is he there as a servant??? Anyway, SY gets kidnapped, so LBH drags SJ kicking and screaming to the castle to play the Prince while he investigates on the side. They may or may not have a musical number about LBH trying to teach SJ to be a Prince.

But then SJ has to go on a date with SY’s fiancé! And it turns out!!! The foreign king is YQY!!!!

YQY had thought SJ dead. He’s been practically a zombie for years, believing that he had failed SJ, and ruling the kingdom on autopilot. Why is he a king now? Uh, long lost son or something. Anyway, when he sees SJ, pretending to be SY, he freezes up. But then he convinces himself that it can’t be SJ! Because this is SY, obviously, who has very dedicated records keeping tract of the fact that yes, the Prince was indeed the prince his entire life and not a former slave. So he spends this entire date upset that he’s falling in love and betraying/replacing SJ.

On SJ’s part, he’s also upset about how much he likes YQY. He doesn’t recognize YQY as Qi-Ge, of course, but it still feels like he’s replacing him. Also, this isn’t his life. This isn’t his fiancé. Either SY will come back, and marry him and SJ will go back to the dress shop alone. Or SJ will stay the Prince forever, with the knowledge that none of this was every his, and he only got it by stealing another man’s life.

They may or may not sing a romantic duet that hides all the angst they are feeling.

Of course, SJ gets found out rather quickly after that. LBH has been caught and thrown in with SY, leaving no one to stop SJ from going to jail for the disappearance of the Prince. YQY is devastated to hear that SJ would do something like that, but more than that, YQY is elated to hear that this isn’t SY. It’s an unknown SY look alike, and how many of those can there be out there??? This has to be SJ, and now YQY has to help him out of prison.

Then SY and LBH escape, and come save the day, and find precious geodes to save the kingdom, etc etc etc. SY and LBH confess to each other, and live happily ever after, while YQY (after breaking SJ out of prison in a very illegal way) tearfully tells SJ that he is sorry and that he thought he was dead and he couldn’t find him and-

SJ, who just got broken out of prison by the foreign king that he had went on a date with earlier by pretending to be someone else, can only stare as he realizes that this is Qi-Ge.

SJ strings him along for a year until he feels he can accept any apology. And then they get married, because he is not passing up the chance to be a ruler of a country. Who do you think he is??

[coolshadowtwins]

I was thinking about this, and I realized that the other thing to think about is how much SJ, with his bags and bags full of abandonment issues, would love Binghe’s obsession devotion with him.

And that made me realize why I don’t really like BingJiu? Because for Binghe to be devoted to SJ in a way that doesn’t make my skin crawl, it has to be a version of BingMei. Bingge had issues, and I can’t read them romantically when I know this man has ripped off all of SJ’s limbs lol

But BingMei is obsessed with SY, not SJ. He just doesn’t know there is a difference. So I don’t like throwing SJ in with him, because I feel like BingMei is just replacing SY.

Also, I feel like Yue Qi would be just a obsessed devoted, outwardly, to SJ, if he know that was what SJ wanted. No more apologies! Only extreme enabling!

I do want to open this post off by saying that I don’t really like BingJiu. It’s just not my cup of tea.

But the idea of Binghe, our Binghe not og, going back in time to try and get his Shizun back, and going back to SJ’s disciple days. Binghe thinks he’s going to see, even if only briefly, his Shizun’s teenage days.

What he finds instead is a bullied disciple, sleeping in the woodshed.

This would have to be before SJ was the Head Disciple, or maybe just the early days of it, before he ever would have gotten his own sleeping space. He’s still supposed to be sleeping in the dorms, with the other boys. But he can’t relax like that, can’t sleep like that, so he goes to the old woodshed like he always does when he has to sleep on the peak. On top of that, he had just gotten back from a nasty fight with LQG, so he’s all beat up.

This is what Binghe sees. And this is what Binghe know has to deal with knowing- the image of his Shizun, in the same position that he had been in, when he first joined the sect.

(Honestly, with BingMei, all it does is give him more fuel to recuse away the early abuse for a bit, but the thought is there!)

I love that trope if SVSSS fanfic where, in the middle of canon, SQQ gets turned into a woman for some reason and he’s just like-

SQQ: Huh. I’m now a pretty woman. I know my destiny. I have to marry Luo Binghe

Everyone else: …you don’t have to-

SQQ, already in wedding robes: I gotta.

Mu Qingfang has no idea what his life is now.

Is this was the insane demon emperor had needed?? Two husbands, instead of 300+ wives???? What is happening

A time travel story where PIDW Mu Qingfang is the one to go back.

He had lost his entire sect, all of his martial siblings, and it was all he could do to keep his own life and of his closest disciples by being a doctor to the Emperor’s court. And even then, I would imagine that over the years, one by one, he would lose his disciples too- from death, or from them just getting out of there. I imagine that in the end, he would be alone.

And then he wakes up!! In the past!!! As either a disciple, or maybe as a peak lord, post canon? Either way, he has a chance to fix things and stop what happened!

Except he has no idea what happened. He doesn’t know SQQ’s backstory, he doesn’t know LBH’s backstory (before coming to the sect, and even then, I would imagine it’s in broad strokes), he doesn’t know anything! What he does know is that something more is going on with SQQ, so he doesn’t want to just kill him. Also, killing SQQ would send YQY into a spiral, and he also doesn’t want that.

It’s 20 chapters of Mu Qingfang fumbling around, trying to fix something, and end up, idk, becoming everyone’s best friend? He does stop the sect from being burned down, thankfully.

Also, Airplane!SQH is there instead of the one that MQF would have known, so I’m sure that just throws a giant wrench into things. And then I would imagine that SY would show up somewhere, not as SQQ, and MQF would wonder where this kid has been the whole time.

[coolshadowtwins]

Characters that I have written ideas of time traveling, in one way or another: Luo Binghe, Liu Qingge, Yue Qingyuan, Mu Qingfang

Characters that I have not written with this trope, so far: Shen Yuan, Shen Jiu, Qi Qingqi, Mobei Jun, Shang Qinghua, OG!Shang Qinghua, Liu Mingyan, Ning Yingying, Ming Fan, And Sha Hualing.

Will I write something for any of them? Maybe not. Or maybe I’ll wake up one day and look at this list, and take it as a challenge lol

Sometimes I think about the fact that, in the Yugioh anime, Marik was close enough to the Dulist Kingdom Island to pick up Bandit Keith when he got thrown into the ocean. I assume he was there for the god cards or something, or maybe just to threaten Pegasus, or maybe he heard about Yugi being there. Who knows.

But that does leave the door open to a fun (to me at least lol) au. What if Marik chose to sneak into that tournament instead? He gets the island mid tournament, steals a glove, and just goes for it. Of course, Pegasus probably knows this, but either he’s just fine with letting it happen, or he’s actually just too busy stalking Yugi and co.

I would imagine that Marik wasn’t actually meaning to meet Yugi there. He, in this au, was coming to threaten Pegasus for info on the god cards, and felt this was the best way to get inside the castle freely. But of course, he gets drawn into the protagonist ring, and runs into the gang at the worst time- right before Bakura joins them.

It’s late in the day, Yugi and co just got done with their last duel (Rex I think? I honestly don’t remember what was right before Bakura lol) and then they run into this weird guy. But it’s ok! He seems really nice, and a pretty strong duelist. He’s just shy!

Marik, for his part, panicked and gave a fake name. He didn’t want to meet the Pharaoh yet! Did he know about Yami specifically at this point, or did he just think the pharaoh had gotten reincarnated? I’m going to go with the last one for now. He just thinks Yugi is the pharaoh reincarnation. Anyway, his stomach growls at the worst time, which means that Yugi and co invite him to camp with them tonight! The bigger the group, the less likely anyone would ambush them for a midnight duel!

Marik has no choice but to say yes, because he’s now even more undercover and has decided to use this to his advantage. He gets close to Yugi and steals the puzzle, that’s what he will do!

So they go and camp, and everything is normal, and then Bakura shows up.

Joey: Bakura?! What are you doing here?

Bakura: I snuck on board the ship, just like you!

Yugi: Nomu (that was Marik’s fake name right?) this is our school friend, Roy Bakura!

Marik:…. He just followed you guys to the island, without talking to anyone? Is he apart of your friend group? He’s not in the tournament- he has no glove! Isn’t this weird to anyone else?

Bakura: I don’t know, I think this is fine.

Triston: Yeah man! Bakura is our friend! It sure is glad to see him!

Bakura: Hey, here’s a fun idea! Let’s play a game of Duel monsters, but first let’s each pick our favorite cards to put in the deck, for no reason! Me vs Yugi!

Marik, suddenly sensing shadow magic:…. Oh my god. This is such a bad idea.

Marik, later, in the body of a fiend type monster: Why did no one listen to me?!

Joey: Oh like you knew that our old pal here would get possessed by a dark spirit and try to kill us!

Marik: …. I will admit, this was not how I thought my night would go.

Of course, this would be where he would realize that Yami existed. He probably glared really hatefully at him once he was summoned, confusing everyone. Marik was then forced to put a very confused act to make it look like he actually had no idea what was happening.

Bakura would also be able to tell Marik had magic, probably. But he would also probably focus on Yugi first, since he definitely didn’t know about Yami before that duel. Bakura probably thought that Yugi would be an easier mark, and then he could deal with this new guy in the corner.

Marik would probably leave the next morning, after the duel with Panik, but before Ryo and Yugi have the conversation about the Ring. Mostly because, otherwise, the Ring would immediately point to the Rod that Marik definitely did not leave with Odion on the boat, and we can’t have that!

Marik goes off and gets the rest of his star chips- he probably takes the place of Bandit Keith somehow? He can’t take Mai or Joey’s place, because they now know Marik and he couldn’t just take his. But he could take Keith’s! And he’s not afraid to stab someone to get what he wants, when Keith threats him with a gun afterwards, probably.

Keith might be dead in this au. Sorry to all the Bandit Keith friends.

Marik would meet back up the the group up on the top of the stairs, right before the duel with Kaiba.

I don’t think he would honestly change more of the DK plot. He would be on the sidelines for the major duels, and then duel Joey in the semi-finals. He would sneak out alone that first night in the castle o go and threaten Pegasus, only to one) be caught by Tea, Triston, and Joey, two) be confronted by Bakura, where Marik has to act dumb to not be caught with magic, and C) get sucked into that weird ritual thing Pegasus was doing that the gang find that is never mentioned again.

Marik, afterwards: ….what in the name of Ra was that????

I don’t know if he would forfit to Joey, or just fake lose, but he would throw the match. He isn’t there to win, and he honestly doesn’t want Pegasus’s attention on him more than he needs too, outside of Marik’s own choosing.

He gets suckered into “Friendship is the real power, guys! That’s how we save Yugi!” And he is shocked that it works. Like, this is something that he rants about for days to Odion once he’s back on the boat. (Odion just wants Marik to make friends.)

I like to think Marik also gets involved with the whole Triston and Bakura side plot with Mokuba’s body, because he would just be making snarky comments the whole time.

Bakura: Go, Maneater bug!

Triston: What is that?!

Marik: Maneater bug, Triston. Keep up.

And

Bakura: I want a host with no soul, so it won’t fight against me.

Marik: Are you two compatible??

Bakura: …huh?

Marik: Every soul can go into every body? Probably not.

Bakura: Well-

Marik: Also, what happens when Yugi gets Mokuba’s soul back?

Bakura: We don’t know that yet!

Marik, giving him a look: Don’t we? Really? And anyway, you want to be running around as a ten year old? A child? Do you think anyone will take you seriously? Really?

Bakura, sputtering: Well, you- more seriously than you and your lavender crop top!

Marik: I’m hurt. Really. Triston, I have given you so many chances to punch him and you have taken none of them.

Triston: Oh. Right. (And then he punches him) you know, you are taking this magic thing really well.

Marik:…. I’m just an easy going kind of guy.

Triston: Yeah, it’s amazing how nothing really bothers you.

Marik: Yep. Nothing.

And then the rest of DK would probably be normal. Marik is too late to threaten Pegasus after the dueling, because Bakura gets to him first. So Marik just has to leave empty handed.

But now he has an in with the pharaoh! Maybe if he keeps being friends with him, he could learn his dueling strategies and defeat him that much more easily!

So he enrolls himself at Domino High. Odion really hopes that he makes some friends.

There will probably be a part two of this later lol

[coolshadowtwins]

I’m writing the next part of the ‘Two Shen’ thing, and it’s not funny. I’m trying to make it funny, but I’m sorry if it’s not funny, next time lol

On a different note, someone was using the tag ‘Split Shen Au’ and I think I should probably tag all of these something by now.

[coolshadowtwins]

What everyone has agreed on: Shen Yuan had PIDW merch. A lot of it. Mostly Luo Binghe, but sometimes he has his favorite wives as figurines too. But mostly Binghe. Many many fanfics have him have a body pillow with Binghe on it, which I also believe because that thought is hilarious.

What changes, fanfic to fanfic: Was PIDW popular enough to get actual merch? Was there good figurines out there? I saw one that said a Luo Binghe Funko Pop, and yeah in theory it could have been a fan made one, but still.

Or is it just an underground scene- very little actual merch, but a lot of Etsy artists that liked it enough to make shit. Shen Yuan funded everyone of them.

Or or was there very very little merch- you have to go out of your way to find it. Everything Shen Yuan owns was specifically commissioned by him because he couldn’t find anything else anywhere. Yes, even the body pillow.

Here’s the new SVSSS fic round up- hurt!SQQ!

Any fanfic rec where SQQ gets hurt, and preferably gets comforted.

(If you haven’t noticed, these tend fic round ups are things I wanna read but can’t find more fanfic of lol)

[coolshadowtwins]

It’s that time of year- time for my cats yearly vet visits! And they are expensive little rats lol

So I’m opening writing commissions! It could be fanfiction, it could not be. It’s whatever you want (within reason of me declining).

[coolshadowtwins]

Are there any of my posts that you would want to see a follow up on? Tell me in the comments!

[coolshadowtwins]

I was re-reading a Harry Potter/YuGiOh fanfic I wrote when I was like 14 back in 2013 and it’s. It’s bad. Who let me write fanfiction back then? Because I should not have lol

[coolshadowtwins]

I know it’s like the middle of the night where I live, but I’m awake so here’s chapter Eight of my SVSSS Undertale au!

I would love to hear what you think of it, and the story so far.

[coolshadowtwins]

Au where Binghe drags ‘Peerless Cucumber’ to HHP to be his Qi battery, and Shen Yuan just goes with it, because what’s he supposed to do now that he’s been fed Heavenly Demon Blood? Run? No way!

This was fine for him, as long as Binghe never realizes who he actually was!

Except Binghe has been entering his dreams since he got there, mostly by accident. Binghe had been trying to find his Shizun’s dreams since he died, to get some proof of his soul out there, and now he’s finally found him!! Shen Yuan is panicking, but luckily he looks like Shen Qingqiu in the dreams, so Binghe should have no reason to suspect who he was.

Except Binghe is the protagonist, and incredibly smart (when he wants to be). He clocks immediately that Shen Yuan is Shen Qingqiu, except he doesn’t have all the facts here. Why would his Shizun, who was terrified of him last time they met, be so calm around HHP with him as SY?

The actual answer is because SY has less things to fear from Binghe in an immediate sense. The answer that Binghe comes to is that SY doesn’t remember being Shizun and that whatever soul transfer happened messed with his memory. This is not helped by Shang Qinghua, who, after being interrogated by Binghe, fearfully blurts out that yes! Yes that’s exactly what happened!

(SQH, being a bro. Or trying to, at least)

SY is told absolutely none of this.

Binghe then spends the next amount of time trying to jog his Shizun’s memory, both in dreams and irl, going to far as to drag LQG over to him! Of course, he doesn’t tell LQG what’s happening, or who SY, so that meeting dissolves into screaming quickly.

Binghe has also caught on to the long looks SY would send him, and the ‘romantic’ tension in the air. He comes to the conclusion that his Shizun loves him, but is too upright and moral to date someone he had taught. It couldn’t be because he was a demon, because SY doesn’t care. Maybe he had trauma from a demon? All this only had one solution!

Seduce SY so that, once Shizun gets him memory back, he would be forced to admit his feelings!

This plan ends horribly.

[coolshadowtwins]

One of the comments said Gongyi Xiao as Miroku, and I had Liu Qingge as Sango, and of course Binghe as Inuyasha….

Maybe Shippo’s replacement should be an adult, like ZZL, so that this can turn into ‘Inuyasha, but the MC has a harem’ lol

Look, SVSSS Inuyasha au is easy right? Binghe is Inuyasha. Shen Yuan is Kagome. Shen Jiu is Kikiyo.

I would makes Kaede Yue Qingyuan I guess, even if I hate to shove him into a smaller role lol

I don’t really like BingJiu, so I wouldn’t have them dating like Kikiyo and Inuyasha, but I guess teacher student? That would work I guess.

Sessomaru is a tough one, because on one hand, Binghe’s family is Zhuzhi-Lang. which doesn’t really fit? I guess it could be his dad, for whatever reason, but then why? But his dad as Sessomaru and ZZL as Jaken would work.

But. But. But. Jaken is so Shang Qinghua. So bad. Which is guess would make Sessomaru Mobei Jun? Which could work.

I have no one else. Oh! Wait, Sango would be a good Liu Qingge, with her dead/brainwashed brother as Liu Mingyan. That would be fun. Shippo could be uh… probably not an actual kid, but one of the disciples I guess. I’ll go with Ning Yingying until I can think of someone else. Uh. Miroku. If SQH wasn’t Jaken, I would almost say him? Kinda?

I have no idea on the bad guys lol. Not one.
