Summary
They say that somewhere in the Golden City a legendary beauty sleeps in a bower of rare flowers within a lush courtyard garden, ever-dreaming of the day the red string tied to her small finger finally pulls taut and draws her beloved to her side to wake her. Until such a fortuitous day, the honor guard of Huan Hua Sect watches over her as she rests…
As a hobby, the minor scholarly god Shen Yuan has spent decades researching this legend to discover its factual roots — and tonight his efforts will finally be rewarded. He has located the courtyard, successfully bypassed the magical safeguards, and can now take a peek at the beauty’s face.
His er-ge is going to have to eat his words for saying he’d been wasting his time. Shen Yuan can’t wait to rub it in!
TL;DR: A SVSSS+HOB fusion fic where Liu Qingge is an actual war god, and transmigrated Shen Yuan is the little scholarly god that accidentally stumbles across him.

Summary
In fairness, they were left unattended.
But, really — how were Shang Qinghua and Shen Qingqiu supposed to know that goofing off and singing an old love song (poorly) was going to lead to triggering an incredibly minor Wife Plot, ah??? They just wanted to let down their hair a little and revisit an old meme for a laugh while no one was looking! Now they were up to their necks in snow, freezing their asses off.
Of course, the whole point of being Wife Plotted is for the love interest to get closer. Thankfully Mobei-jun and Liu Qingge are very capable men up to tackling the very hazardous job of being love interests to oblivious transmigrators. (If only someone would clue in the transmigrators to that.)

Cultivate: Slow Life on a Monster-Infested Mountain by NeonGhostCat

Summary
When trying to transfer Shen Yuan from the real world to Proud Immortal Demon Way, the System runs into an error. The transfer is not complete.
Shen Yuan is dropped off at the foot of a mountain aware of two things: he's in the story, and the Shen Qingqiu of this world is not only aware but thinks he tried to possess his body — and he's PISSED. Shen Yuan tries to opt out and live a simple life on what locals tell him is a monster-infested mountain no one in their right mind would bother with.
Sounds like a great hiding spot!

💌 Please note I am very behind on replies. I have full intentions of catching up, but my spoons for this are sporadically available. I appreciate them tremendously, always.

The Guardian Ghost and the Bookish Fairy by NeonGhostCat

Summary
Liu Qingge survives his qi deviation… in the form of a ghost. Having nothing better to do and no desire to be exorcised, he follows after Shen Qingqiu and decides to haunt him for the hell of it.
It doesn't take him long to realize that not only is this not the Shen Qingqiu he knew, but there is more going on. And apparently Shang Qinghua is involved too? Ah! He understands now — they're immortal fairies given the mission to thwart a dark prophecy of the sect's collapse. Well. He can help with that. And how better than to protect the bookish fairy that's taken his old foe's place?
There are no ulterior motives. Why think such foolish things???
TL;DR: What happens if SY transmigrates just a little too late?
Story marked "Chooses Not To Warn" purely because LQG becomes a ghost in the first scene and I didn't want to agonize over whether that required a MCD warning or not. If it does to you, this is your heads up! No other archive warnings are necessary.

Summary
It’s months until the Immortal Alliance Conference and mere weeks before Binghe is sent down the mountain on his first solo mission. Both of these upcoming events appear to worry Shen Qingqiu. Binghe, for his part, is worried about Shizun being lonely when he’s away from the sect and is downright frustrated at Shizun’s blindness to Liu Qingge’s courtship attempts. So when Shen Qingqiu initiates the celebration of an obscure autumn festival, Binghe recruits Ning Yingying and Ming Fan to matchmake for the pair. Binghe expects the weeks leading up to the event to be full of frustration as they work together to build something called an escape room. He doesn’t expect to walk away with friends.
Tl;dr: Binghe’s POV of what happened behind the scenes of The Treat Route. :)
You don’t have to have read the previous stories to enjoy this one (though it will give you more background on what the adults are doing).

A Night on Cang Qiong Mountain [Complete] by NeonGhostCat

Summary
Shen Qingqiu frets over the upcoming Endless Abyss event. Wanting to figure out a way to give his little white sheep fond memories of his time at the sect to hold onto in the Abyss, he remembers Halloween, something he looked forward to each year in his previous life (even if it was only through game events). System steps in to offer him a Limited Time Event of his own.
These are stories based off of the same premise that can be read stand-alone if preferred. Technically you could read them in any order.

Summary
(I am the one who says 'fuck you') - Benjamin Garcia, 'Ode to the Corpse Flower'.
Petunia drips magic the way she drips anger. Sparingly. Subtly. Nothing overt or obnoxious. Nothing that attracts the stares of other children or the suspicion of adults. Just things that help her. Her dolls line back up after the football Lily was kicking about ruins their perfect symmetry. Her bed makes itself while she brushes her teeth meticulously. Tea that is slightly too hot or too cold settles to the perfect temperature. Magic maintains the realm of order she has built around herself.
(A witch!Petunia and muggle!Lily AU, covering the Marauders' years at Hogwarts and the First Wizarding War).

Summary
Lavender takes one step forward and – just like the snap of a finger, the blink of an eye, the drop of a pebble – Hogwarts is left behind. There's no jump, no flashes of light, no whirlwinds of disconnected images. Just one little step; behind stood her war and in front stands 1947. "Huh," she says to herself, "didn't see this in the tea leaves."

Summary
Moody reclined in his chair, his prosthetic scratched over the floor. “What year is it, Riddle.”
It wasn’t phrased like a question, maybe that was why Tom finally answered.
“September.” Tom clipped out coldly. “1942. You know this.”’
Harry inhaled so sharply he choked on his spit. He hurriedly turned away, hacking and wheezing as he nearly asphyxiated on his own saliva.
“Yeah,” Moody grimaced with a slight disgruntled noise hidden in his tone, “that’s a problem.”Or
Tom Riddle, 15 years old, in the middle of the London Blitz suddenly finds himself in a future with no allies, resources, information, and everyone he knows treats him with enough restraint to not murder him on the spot. It takes a lot to truly ruin a human being, to rot them so thoroughly even fruit flies avoid the stench. Tom doesn't want this bullshit, Tom only wants to-

Summary
Lon'qu turned around, and was met with Libra's hands around his throat.
"If you were a woman, and mortal," he said, his voice soft, low. "You would be dead by now."
"What will you do, now that you know I am not?" Libra whispered, and his hair swirled around his ears, it is just, it is just.
Libra/Lon'qu, Greek Myth AU. For those whose causes are most just are oft the most punished, but too are they the ones best rewarded with loyalty. Alternatively: Aphrodite is a jealous bitch who lives for drama.
