As the Lord of Qian Cao Peak, there are few things which cause Mu Qingfang to make anything like a ‘walk of shame’ across his peak. He is an esteemed scholar, a competent fighter, and a doctor who is considered by many to work miracles. People come to him to solve their problems, and when he must consult his sect siblings, it is with the self-assured confidence of an expert in one field seeking the wisdom of an expert in another.
It is with a heavy heart that he is forced to trudge across Qian Cao, over the rainbow bridge, through Ku Xing Peak, around Xian Xu Peak, and up to An Ding to knock at the Peak Lord’s door in the middle of the night.
Shang Qinghua answers on the second knock. He appears in the doorway, backlit by the lanterns behind him, accompanied by a wave of cool air and an anxious smile. The man is still fully dressed, guan in place and ink turning his fingers black and smudging darkly across his jaw. No—a bruise, blooming purple. Mu Qingfang’s hands itch to check it, but instead he folds his hands in a shallow bow as Shang Qinghua’s eyebrows go up at the sight of him.
“Shang-shixiong, this one apologized for disturbing you so late.”
“Mu-shidi! A pleasant surprise. Don’t worry about it, there’s no way I would be asleep at this time. I thought you were gonna be one of my disciples telling me something was unexpectedly on fire, so really, this is an improvement. What can I do for you?”
Mu Qingfang sighs. He really hates doing this.
“I’m afraid I must ask your expertise on a sensitive matter.”
“Oh—? Ooooh. One of those nights, huh? Come on in.”
Shang Qinghua steps aside, waving lazily over his shoulder for Mu Qingfang to follow him. He calls out, facing his sitting room,
“Make yourself at home, Shidi. Sorry about the mess, you can push some scrolls over if you need to.”
Mu Qingfang steps into the front room, taking in the familiar papers, scrolls, and cushions scattered around the floor, the desk, the shelves… he sees one booklet poking out of a plant pot. A Snow Lion Bush, red berries gleaming and viny tendrils swaying as if in an invisible breeze—maybe that is what’s responsible for the unusually cool temperatures Shang Qinghua always seems to keep his rooms at. Mu Qingfang almost wishes he’d worn an extra layer.
Shang Qinghua starts making tea, and Mu Qingfang moves to take the kettle from his hands.
“Please, allow me. I’m the one who is disturbing you so late.” Best to step in before they both end up sipping bitter tea.
Shang Qinghua chuckles and raises his hands in defeat, stepping away to ease himself down at his overflowing desk. Mu Qingfang makes a note—stiff, moving gingerly. Fatigue, muscle strain, or an injury he’s avoiding aggravating? He roots around Shang Qinghua’s cabinets until he locates slightly stale dried danshen and curcumin, makes a note to bring more by later as a thank you.
“So… who’s the lucky victim?” Shang Qinghua asks.
Mu Qingfang nudges some scrolls aside with his foot and sits in front of the man’s desk, pushing more paperwork aside to set down the pot and two cups of tea with Shang Qinghua’s consenting hand-wave.
“You know I can’t tell you that, Shixiong.”
“Ah I know, I know. Can’t blame me for asking. I really want it to be that one guy from Qiong Ding who keeps denying my funding requests for—anyways, it doesn’t matter. What are you looking for, exactly?”
Mu Qingfang knocks his tea back like downing a cup of wine. “I have two victims of a spring plant. Contact based—their clothes were coated in an opalescent pink powder, fine grained. I spoke with them both individually. One described it as ‘vine like,’ the other ‘bush like.’ Both said the flowers were white and pink, with green stems and leaves and a darker pink tear drop shaped metal emerging from a soft, fur-like white bud.”
“Ahh, ‘Drawstring pulled tight upon sweet fragrance pent within’1?” Shang Qinghua asks, quoting something Mu Qingfang doesn’t recognize. He tilts his head, and Shang Qinghua waves him off. “Don’t worry about it. Those sound familiar! Should I assume the sect members in question are, ah, feeling some effect?”
“They have refused the… ordinary methods of relief from a trained service worker, myself, each other, and any other member of the sect who might be asked. One of them has a fever that’s making them hallucinate, and the other has developed an unusual rash.”

“My king…you didn’t actually just stay here for a month, did you? You went back to the palace too, right? Every now and then?”
“Qinghua is not there,” Mobei Jun replies plainly with a careless shrug like that explains everything.
Shang Qinghua…does not know how to answer that so he just stares. Mobei Jun stares back at him and Shang Qinghua looks away before he’s fully overwhelmed by the weight of it.
“My king, you couldn’t have possibly planned to just sit here? What if this one really did take three years to cultivate?”
“Then this king would have sat here for three years.”
Shang Qinghua’s brain is going haywire. My king! Mobei Jun!! This one has just worked hard to fix his cultivation!! Please don’t give this old man another qi deviation so soon, ah!!

if your still doing the fic-wip thing, i would love to know about the YQY and SQH De-Aged Fic or the shen yuan transmigrats into YQY fic.
i also really loved the two YQY and Zhúzhī Láng adventure snippets u posted🩷🩵
ahh thank you so much!!! ෆ˙ᵕ˙ෆ
theres another bit of this fic here with a description, but here's a later scene! this fic is everything to me yall are making me so excited to finish it
"You're Shen Qingqiu." The boy exclaimed, eyes wide.
"How do you know that name?"
"Wow, you look just like I imagined! Haha… ha." His laughter trailed off and he lifted a hand to thread into his shorn hair and tugged tightly. His voice took on a sharp quaver. "That's it, I've really gone insane, huh?"
Shen Qingqiu turned to Mu Qingfang. "How could he know that? Shang Qinghua was older than I was when I joined the sect. I wasn't named Qingqiu until years later."
Mu Qingfang knelt by the side of the bed. He had a way of making himself softer, nonthreatening, that annoyed Shen Qingqiu both for the saccharin quality of the affectation and, privately, his own inability to immitate it. One might catch more flies with honey, but Shen Qingqiu has only ever had vinegar in his arsenal.
The young Shang Qinghua didn't seem comforted by it, and leaned away warily as Mu Qingfang settled next to him.
"Do you know where you are, Shang-gongzi?" he asked.
The young Shang Qinghua swallowed. "If he's supposed to be Shen Qingqiu, then this is Cang Qiong Mountain, huh?"
The doctor nodded. "Yes, that's good. You remember entering the sect then?"
"Entering the—no! What is this, some—some isekai shit? Into my ideas? This—this isn't real. I'm hallucinating."
"You know who we are and where you are, what makes you feel it must be a dream?"
"This isn't real. You're not real, Cang Qiong isn't—Shen Qingqiu isn't real. He's just a character I thought of, I haven't even written it down yet."
"A… character?"
"Yeah, you know." The boy bunched his hands up in the thin blanket and looked down at his lap. They were trembling. "Shen Qingqiu and Yue Qi, Yue Qingyuan. Two slave boys who are seperate when they're children, and fight their way back together at Cang Qiong mountain and become top cultivators. But there's like, you know, drama and stuff."

Alpha!Mu Qingfang would have probably guarded Beta!Liu Qingge during the first Peak-lord mating LQG attended.
Just straight up refusing to leave his side and even posturing against Alpha!Yue Qungyuan if the other tries to approach LQG.
Like MQF knows, inherently, that LQG's job as a Beta is important — especially as they no longer get/accept the same help from SQH, considering the Alphan Ice Demon.
But at the same time, LQG is his friend and he gets first dibs on the Beta, it's what his instincts demands — they demand cuddles and attention from his beta pack-mate.
YQY be suffering because now that LQG is fully presented, as the Alphan leader, he SHOULD be able to claim LQG as a pack member — but instead he has MQF and SQH making it a lot harder than it should.
LQG meanwhile is focused on learning how to interpret everyone's needs though their non-verbal cues and how to understand the instinctual needs he has to care for 'em.

Hi TC!! I got really sick these past few days so I wasn't able to say, but I loved the in tune chapter as always, and I can't wait for the daemon au!! Having daemons would probably make it easier to reconcile tbh, cause yqy's would hound (badum tss) sqq with concern and protectiveness so he can't assume it's guilt or fear over shared past. The damn thing freaks out if he sneezes for crying out loud, so what gives qi-ge?
Oh no, I hope you are better now. Get well soon!
Since in this AU the original PIDW has daemons too I imagine the original state of things was much of the same - Calamity (YQY's lion) is a goddamn pushover when it comes to SQQ or Harbor (SQQ's wolf), so he backed off to give them space every time they so much as looked at him sideways - but it took just the tiniest push to make him run over and spill everything.
Also they are like. Stupid about each other in so many ways??? YQY and Calamity are super doting, but SQQ is protective of his idiot big brother to the point of self destruction; every time YQY has to leave the sect for diplomacy or business he sends Harbor after them to keep them out of trouble and protect them and then doesn't fucking sleep until they get back because he doesn't feel safe enough to rest without his daemon there.
Like, I'm not sure it will fit in the fic, but I imagine Ming Fan parking his own daemon in front of the bamboo house (he has a ill-tempered big chow chow) to scare people off so SQQ can rest even a little bit because YQY has been gone for like three weeks on a conference and SQQ is on the edge of breaking down.
Dysfunctional idiots, all of them.

Scum villain crack fic idea:
One or more of the peak lords switch places in time with their younger selves for like a week and basically decides to spend that time gossiping. “It’s so nice to be able to not hear Shen-Shixiong and his husbands causing another scandal” “An Ding is so much warmer without the King of the North in semi-permanent residence” “Have you heard of ‘The resentment of Chunshan?’”
This person just keeps dropping multiple bombshells and is low key revealing in the chaos. The current head disciples and previous peak lords are loosing their shit at the idea that not only is TLJ roaming free, the demon realm is united, HHP is run by a half demon, etc, but also that, at minimum two peak lords are married to demon royalty.
For comedic purposes I propose that this au includes as many peak lords as possible in some sort of human-demon relationship.
Minds are blown with the mention of SQH being both the King of the North’s Consort, but also advisor to the demon emperor.
SQQ the leacher is in a committed gay relationship with two men? With his Disciple?? Who is said Current Demonic Emperor?! And LIU QINGGE?!
Tianlang-jun and YQY’s relationship is like two divorcees who bond over missing their spouses. Do Not Separate that is his emotional support demon/peak lord.
QQQ and SHL become gossip buddies after she marries LMY.
MQF the doctor meets the ultimate snakeboy (anti venom!) who is Also part Heavenly Demon (ultimate cure all!!!!)(on Qiong Ding with his uncle) and decides he’s keeping him. A relationship originating from medical researcher & subject of research becomes an extremely close friendship. They are very done with everyone’s nonsense.
WQW and Six Balls are engaged.
