My Svsss Au, where transmigrated SY is the inner disciple of Qiong Ding Peak. After being saved from the demonic cultivator, he was brought to the Sect by Yue Qingyuan when SQQ was in seclusion. He has some resemblance to SQQ and that's why he receives a little(not) more affection from Sect Leader. When SQQ came back, he was obviously not pleased with YQY taking in a replacement for him. Meanwhile, for YQY, it is more like adopting their shared kid.

I imagine their dynamic here would be something like this post.

The Three of Swords can represent heartbreak, betrayal and grief.

Ah Yue Qingyuan the saddest man that you are

[ID: Scum Villain fanart of Yue Qingyuan. He hunches over with a wistful, sad expression, looking at a red string tied around his finger. Three swords stab into his back: Xuan Su, the blade of which is shattered, Xiu Ya, and Xin Mo. A ghostly hand reaches toward him, the red string tied around its wrist; however, the string is cut by Xiu Ya as it winds behind Yue Qingyuan. The background is also shattered, dark shards at his back forming a void from which the ghostly hand reaches. /end ID]

Shen Jiu—father of a little Shen Yuan—who never joined CQMS after saving Qi-ge's life, both father and son rogue cultivators now. Shen Yuan is a curious child who quickly turns into a nosy teenager, and Shen Jiu enjoys spending time doing small cultivation jobs, helping his brothel Jiejie, and having a peaceful life with his son.

Over time, Shen Yuan grows large enough to be indistinguishable from Shen Jiu. Just a little bit of their eyes and expressions can differentiate them at a glance. The Meimei in the brothel who don't know them for a long time often refer to them as the Cultivator Twins, and that is a bit of the reputation they have. They are not important enough to attract the attention of large sects, and their low profile keeps them working without problems. Shen Jiu is in charge of making talismans, fighting monsters, and making medicines!! Shen Yuan transcribes manuals, compiles bestiaries, and sells information. Almost any time it comes to gathering plants, herbs or mushrooms, or working with some beast, Shen Yuan will be there to do it!

Eventually and under some circumstances, Shen Yuan ends up poisoning himself with Without-a-Cure- He swears it wasn't his fault!! It was an unforeseen accident, it could happen to anyone! But his cultivation base is damaged, and the only person Shen Jiu knows to help with the poison and create a treatment, is the Peak Lord of Qian Cao, Mu Qingfang.

However, Shen Jiu refuses to introduce him as his son!! He even refuses to get too close to the sect of his own. What's more, even so, he urges Shen Yuan to show up at Cang Qiong Mountain, impersonate him to the Sect Leader and demand that medical help be provided.

... Shen Yuan doesn't believe it will work. But apparently, it really does! Because Zhangmen-shixiong turns pale when he sees him, and he orbits around him as if he wants to hug him, but without making any sudden movements. Shen Yuan does his best imitation of his father, being sullen, hostile, rude and demanding, and it works beautifully. He is sent to receive medical care. Mu Qingfang prepares tonics and medicines, and he will need to visit Qian Cao Peak once every three weeks to have his meridians cleansed.

And, while in Qian Cao, Shen Yuan meets Luo Binghe.

He is a young disciple of Bai Zhan! Cute as a bun, but apparently, he had defeated at least ten of his martial brothers in battle!! So powerful!! Shen Yuan is not surprised to see him sometimes, when he visits Qian Cao for his meridian cleansings; Luo Binghe shines like a wounded sun, and seems to want to get closer to Shen Yuan more and more, always talking, asking, wanting to talk to him. Even if Shen Yuan has to force himself to imitate his father, can't help but smile behind his fan! He's a good, adorable boy!!

The boy is exceptionally intrigued by Shen Yuan, where he comes from, how he became infected with the Without-a-Cure. The boy also seems to be waiting for him, looking at him with barely concealed curiosity, doing meaningless things as if he were waiting for a reaction from him. He pours tea for him and looks at him expectantly, he drops his tray and stands still as if expecting a harsh scolding. But even if he could, Shen Yuan would never scold him! Luo Binghe is a wonderful boy.

Shen Yuan greatly enjoys visiting Cang Qiong just to see him, even if he has to hide his emotions behind his father's mask. Even if he's supposed to be hostile or not too nice. He... He really enjoys the company of the young disciple Luo Binghe. And maybe... Maybe he's considering telling him the truth. He's kind of like, a friend! Right? He thinks he can tell him the truth... At some point. Perhaps after the Immortal Conference Alliance, so that Luo Binghe can fully concentrate on that and emerge triumphant!

(What Shen Yuan doesn't know is that this adorable boy is not a simple young disciple. Luo Binghe was once the Emperor of the Three Realms, a ferocious heavenly demon... who had perished after a fierce qi deviation. Horror! And he had become aware just before Cang Qiong's disciple selection. A cycle of torture repeated endlessly!

But there was no Shen Qingqiu to select him. Instead, he was selected for Bai Zhan by Liu Qingge; Qing Jing's Peak Lord was not even Shen Qingqiu.

... And Luo Binghe is freaking lost. Where is that horrible Shizun of his? He's raised through fights, through steady cultivation, through... friends? Through a good Shizun. He's having a nice new life. It's not like the life he had, but, he thinks, maybe it's retribution from the universe? Giving him what he should have had, not forcing him into a life of suffering and hatred. Luo Binghe is not going to complain about it.

Then, Shen Qingqiu appears. Well, not Shen Qingqiu. Shen Jiu.

Even though he's hostile, there's something... different about him. He's softer. His cutting comments aren't entirely poisonous, and when Luo Binghe speaks, he... listens. He looks at him as if he sees him as an equal, and more than once he found him smiling!!! Behind his fan, yes, but he was smiling!! Luo Binghe doesn't understand. Could this be... the same kind Shizun whose glimpse he managed to get in that other world? Did the universe put him before him, for him, in this world where Luo Binghe is not suffering? In this world, so that Luo Binghe doesn't have so much pain and can instead find peace?

Luo Binghe doesn't know. He only hopes that at the Immortal Alliance Conference, the Abyss won't open up and swallow him up. ... Or just let it happen. Then he can return as a Demon Lord to see if this No-Shizun really still sees him as an equal. If he remains kind, if he continues to smile behind his fan, if his face continues to light up at the sight of him even when he becomes a monster upon exiting the Endless Abyss... Luo Binghe isn't sure what he'll do, but he doesn't think a harem is necessary this time. His No-Shizun alone would suffice.)

(For his part, oh. Shen Jiu has also died and woken up in his own loop of suffering watching the flames of the Qiu estate. And he remembers everything.

This time, however, he welcomed into his the life that Qi-ge had unknowingly given him after a chance encounter, and allowed this life to exist far away instead of joining Qing Jing. He will never go near that cursed sect, nor its demonic disciple, nor all the horrible martial brothers who abandoned him to his fate to be tortured.

Shen Jiu will stay safe. He will survive. It's more than he could do before.

He doesn't mind reliving the past. He doesn't mind sneaking away. He will stay alive, and he will keep his son safe, no matter what he has to do.)

Imagine Shang Qinghua just absolutely activating the Caine instinct in Shen Yuan. One wrong move and he’s hair pulling, biting, licking, spitting, every underhanded move in the book. He’s gotta get his sibling aggression out. Meanwhile Airplane, an only child, is screaming, crying “NO BITING!! STOP LICKING ME!!!” It’s attracted the attention Yue Qingyuan, who wants to cry knowing his Xiao Jiu is still in there….

(Slow pan to Binghe rushing to the cold pools.)

Back on my narrative ghost sj bullshit ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

Kinda wanna write a fic based on this doodle ngl

[nibbelraz]

The SVSSS truth pollen trope except both SJ and YQY get hit with the pollen, and in fear of accidently saying something wrong they avoid each other like the plague.

The other Peak Lords aren't confused by SQQs actions this is normal for him however its extremely unnatural for YQY to avoid SQQ and even refuse to talk about him.

So since they can't get anything out of YQY, because he's so insistent of keeping shut that he's coughing up blood, they try to pry SQQs lips open.

And surprisingly SQQ let's it all out, like a water fall he can't stop talking about history with YQY(although while trying to avoid the details that they were slaves)

He tells them how they were childhood friends and used to love each other and that he used to have a crush on YQY until YQY left him when he moved to Qiu Manor. Eventually the Manor got burnt down and he traveled as a rogue cultivator before rescuing from Wu Yanzi at the IAC. Then YQY never told SQQ the reason he left him which is why they have a terrible relationship. (He also let's it slip that he's not really sleeping with women and that he's just at the brothels because it helps with his sleep issues)

So now in the Peak Lords eyes, SQQ is essentially this heart broken maiden yearning for her long lost love who abandoned her. However despite that all the Peak Lords know YQY adores SQQ, he always defends him, as the youth would say it he stands with his canceled wife.

So now they're debating wether they should set the two up on a date or not. This debate becomes sect wide because nobody really knows if they should end up together.

This is interesting because i do agree that the sect would be divided in getting them together because some probably still don't forgive Shen Jiu for how he's been treating certain disciples like the air is cleared for some of the things he does but how he acts is still up in the air, so they would still be against setting them up with Yue Qingyuan BUT YUE QINGYUAN DOES STAND WITH HIS CANCELLED WIFE SO PEOPLE ARE LIKE WELL??? YUE QINGYUAN STILL ADORES HIM OBVIOUSLY

BUt but it gets more complex because ok we got everything out of Shen Jiu, but now the whole sect doesn't know why Yue Qingyuan left and Yue Qingyuan is SOOO Secretive to the point he's dying from refusing to say the truth so it's like

What happened

Why did he do that if he's obviously still obsessed with him

Why is he SO against saying the truth like now everyone is so CONFUSED they only have one side of the story the entire sect is in shambles

[transmigrationisunderrated]

For every mpreg au and fanfic written, there is an often unseen Mu Qingfang trying to promote whatever a xianxia mpreg world condom and birth control pill is and abortion. He is ignored due to the fact most of the people mpreging are mentally ill and worryingly guilty/co-dependent. please pray to whatever god is out there for this man.

Happy Heart Day from me to you, featuring my favourite svsss characters

4/8! The pink batch of valentines is done

and now I take a nap and hopefully finish the other 4 by the end of the day!

[m0owu]

I’m not going to say which fanfic this is. I just want to talk about a situation that upset me, because I need to let out my emotions.

A large number of people in the SVSSS fandom, at the very least, dislike Yue Qingyuan. But that doesn’t mean he deserves unfair treatment. The fact that he doesn’t explain his reason isn’t because he wants to keep it from others, but because he thinks that staying silent is the better choice. Maybe that’s foolish, but it’s not a reason to treat him badly. He wanted to do what he thought was best. If you don't think so, then let’s blame a child who accidentally killed someone out of ignorance, indirectly?

And then sj's partner made a decision on behalf of sj without even asking him? Isn’t that the same “I know what’s best for you” attitude that yqy is being condemned for? yqy just needs to be shown what’s right. You can compare yqy to a parent who wants the best for their child, but does it in their own way. That doesn’t mean we should cut ties with them. We should show them how we need to be treated so we can feel better. If they still refuse to listen, then it’s okay to walk away—but not without even giving a chance for them to fix things.

When sj wasn’t feeling well, another character (sj's partner) forbade informing yqy about Shen Qingqiu’s condition, even though yqy was the one who caused it, even though yqy cared deeply. I can understand not letting him visit Shen Qingqiu, but why forbid simply informing him? yqy was concerned, sincerely cared, felt guilty—and this other character wouldn’t even let him know, which only increased his guilt. There was no point in hiding it. Just prohibit physical access if you're afraid it’ll worsen Shen Qingqiu’s state.

Then sj says he doesn’t understand yqy, and another side character asks if he wants to understand him. sj replies no. (Right. We believe sj, ignoring his past desire to know the reason, his hidden curiosity. If he actually learned the reason, he would have wanted his past self to know it too.) And the side character says that in that case, there’s no need—some people don’t deserve the effort it takes to reach them. And yet it’s sj who “deserves” it, and yqy who doesn’t? Are we just not going to help people who are deeply ill or in pain, physically or mentally, because it “won’t change anything”?

Toward the end, another character tells yqy that sj may never forgive him and that he doesn’t have to (which is true). But why not at least try? They were close to each other. They still cared after everything. And this other character just says sometimes it’s better to walk away. That some things are broken beyond repair. But why not try to make them even a little better? If this person truly wants to help sj heal, why not address the core wound—one that will remain horrible if ignored? And healing doesn’t always mean “go find new people and abandon the one who hurt you.” yqy will continue to carry unbearable guilt. sj will have an even deeper sense that people can abandon him—worse than it would’ve been if they’d tried to resolve things. People with PTSD, for example, don’t get better just because things around them are “good” now. They’ll still expect the worst.

Another character tells yqy to go make new friends. Then changes their mind and tells him to get a pet. “Not a person, an animal. Find something else to be gentle to.” Instead of showing him how to treat people right, instead of working through human relationships after realizing his mistakes, Yqy —who now has no close friends, no one to talk to emotionally, not just professionally, and who is hated and feared by his entire sect—is told that he “pierced his heart while having the best intentions,” meaning he traumatizes everyone. And now he’s basically being isolated from society. But humans need other humans to have meaningful conversations. It’s a real psychological need.

In the comments, people were saying that yqy finally got what he deserved. Deserved for what? For sincere motives, for trying his best to make things right as quickly as possible, for showing concern for sj? There were a few moments that maybe made yqy “deserve” what he got (like yelling), but to me that was pure OOC every single time. And if the author doesn’t think it’s OOC, then their interpretation of the character is just… wrong.

To help clarify, here’s a parallel situation involving another character:

Someone told the entire Cang Qiong that sj had been a slave and used to go to a brothel just to get some sleep. And instead of helping sj restore his relationships with the peak lords, they said, “You’ve done enough damage. Leave this mountain (and preferably never return, either directly or indirectly).”

Explanations:

Yes, the author has full rights to delete or block my comment and to not want any criticism. I even checked before writing whether she mentioned anything about that. I clearly stated at the beginning that this was a critique, and to read it only if interested. So calling it “unsolicited” criticism when it’s clearly optional to read feels wrong.

I wasn’t demanding that anything in the fanfic be changed. I just thought the author was trying to help the main characters resolve their problems in a healthy way—so why not yqy too?

Shards of you is all you left me

[mjldx7]

You know what's sad?

No one ever mourned Shen Jiu.

Shen Yuan took over his body, checks for possession failed so everyone had just assumed Shen Jiu had lost his memories.

Shen Jiu had something happen to him due to his qi deviation when Shen Yuan took over. He died either way though, whether he was forced into Shen Yuan's old body or not as some headcannons say. His soul died so Shen Yuan could take over.

But no one knew this? No one knew that Shen Jiu had died, and frankly; no one really cared because they got Shen Yuan out of his loss.

Sure maybe Yue Qingyuan had mourned the loss of "Shen Jiu's" memories lost and the past but surely he would have thought "Shen Jiu" would honestly be happier not remembering his past.

Shen Jiu never even got mourned by HIS Qi-ge because his Qi-ge never knew that his own Xiao-Jiu was gone...

[red-garden]

It’s part of Mu Qingfang’s job as a doctor not only to treat illness and injury, but also to practice preventative care. While Qian Cao hosts many sect wide lessons on health, some people need a few extra reminders on how to treat their bodies. So Mu Qingfang makes a few house calls as needed to help his friends understand;

[nibbelraz]

Lets add MORE angst to pregnant Qijiu(let's say they're both pregnant)

Due to SQQs whole entire life, he's constantly stressed, he rarely gets a moment of peace. And according to Mu Qingfangs check ups, his pregnancy is considered a high risk one and the baby might not survive childbirth. But when he found this out it was too late to have an abortion so he had to carry it to term.

While he was pregnant he also wondered if there were any chronic family illnesses that skipped him but his baby might inherit.

Eventually he had to go into seclusion so no outer stressor affected his pregnany.

Luckily when he gave birth Shen yuan survived, unfortunately he was quite ill because again, the stressful pregnancy.

YQY pregnancy was also stressful but probably not as much due his sect siblings looking up to him and respecting him alot, therefore they offered help whenever they could. NYY was born a healthy baby girl.

SQQ lowkey felt a bit mad cs did YQY just one-up him by having a less stressful pregnancy and also a healthy child???

YAY MORE ANGST!!!

Oh I love this, Shen Jiu struggling from the very beginning and having to double down his efforts to have this pregnancy to term successfully. Oh I can imagine how hard he must be on himself because how can his body be so weak he worked so hard to get this far and something like this shouldn't be so hard on him (Shen Jiu pregnancy is VERY HARD!!) But he's thinking that at the very least he has to try so he can have a healthy baby at the end and ohhh i can imagine the incredible self loathing he would be experiencing when he's in bed hearing Mu Qingfang saying how ill Shen Yuan is and of course he'll do everything he can but its a long road.

Shen Jiu thinking how unfortunate for himself to be so unwell that he had to effect his own child he's livid (at himself). The absolute anger he'd get at Yue Qingyuan too for having it be so effortless, his whole pregnancy going smoothly while the entire sect siblings doting and helping him.

I WOULD LIKE TO ADD ALSO!!! Yue Qingyuan not having as easy of a birth as he's leading on, i would like to think that his own problems that stemmed from Xuan Su so maybe yes his birth was easier compared to Shen Jiu but the toll it took AFTER has him bed ridden and weaker but refusing to make a big deal out of it especially when Mu Qingfang is busy with Shen Jiu and his baby.
