    Summary

    Soulmates exist in "Three Ways to Survive in a Ruined World". Kim Dokja never understood why. After 3149 chapters, it's pretty obvious that tls123 has no intention of writing Yoo Joonghyuk meeting his. But it is what it is: soulmates don't exist in reality, but they do in Yoo Joonghyuk's world.

    It changes quite a few things when the scenarios start.

    Summary

    “My name is Yue Qingyuan,” he says, as if Shen Jiu is someone to be introduced to. His gaze on Shen Jiu is - intent, almost frighteningly so. Unblinking. “Are you really a servant here? Or a slave?”

    “Ah - I believe I can find that out for you--” Lord Xu is saying, already waving over his head servant, and Shen Jiu is so irritated that the man just seems to assume that Shen Jiu can’t answer for himself like he’s a dog or some other beast that he speaks up.

    “A slave,” he answers, and Yue Qingyuan nods as if this isn’t surprising.

    Then he turns towards Lord Xu and he says, “I will buy him.”

    -

    A rich and powerful cultivator meets a slave with nothing to his name, and decides to buy him on the spot. Why?

    Summary

    "First," said Gale. "Do not kill any thinking creatures in Waterdeep unless you must to protect yourself or you have my express permission."

    As Gale spoke, he could feel the weight of his words sinking into the person sitting across from him. It was like casting a spell, but took no effort. Astarion had been staring hollowly into his goblet of blood, but at this he made a faintly interested noise. As if the rule were novel and he was considering the shape of it.

    "Second, you will obey me in all things," said Gale. There didn't feel like there was any honest way of softening that. Astarion didn't make any sound at all.

    "Third, do not leave the tower without permission." Astarion made another speculative noise, considering this one too. But then his shoulders hunched and his eyes skittered down, as if he didn't want to look at what was about to happen.

    "Fourth," Gale said, and paused. He started with some context: "There is a tressym upstairs."

    Astarion's head twitched. He looked up at Gale, blinking, startled. He had the air of someone who had been bracing for a blow and instead had just been handed a balloon animal.

    "A what?" he asked.

    Summary

    Their energies straighten themselves out, and they can at last take a deep breath and open their eyes, which they squeezed shut at some point. The top pair glances around the clearing, while the lower pair darts a quick look downward, toward their aching hands.

    Except. They didn’t have four pairs of eyes earlier. Or, well, technically they did, but that’s because they were split into two bodies at the time. Right now, they…aren’t.

    “Oh,” they say. “I’m a fusion.”

    or: During the Immortal Alliance Conference, before the Endless Abyss, Shen Qingqiu and Luo Binghe fuse. This changes things.
