    Summary

    Challenged by a state of emotional influxes, Chu Wanning reflects on his lives lived, and his life ahead.

    ---

    “We won’t be endangered for that much longer,” Mo Ran mutters thoughtfully, pinching a sliver of flesh between his teeth. Chu Wanning inhales, pulling the back of his hair…

    “All thanks to Shizun.”

    Chu Wanning narrows his eyes, first at the small, pink welt rising on his skin, and then directing the full might of a brilliant phoenix glare at the man between his legs. “Speak clearly or don’t speak at all.”

    “Well, as fertile as we both are,” Mo Ran answers slowly. “What’s a dozen baby demons or so?”

    Let it be stated for the record that Chu Wanning’s first reaction to that audacious statement is genuine, thoughtful consideration.

    Summary

    Somewhere amidst the maze of shops in the old town quarter, on a shelf in a dusty curio shop, there sits a plain wooden box. Inside is a simple but exquisitely crafted xiao guan, with a design of curving lilies.

    Summary

    Yue Qingyuan woke in a patch of grass and warm sunlight. He blinked up into a blue sky, breathing in the soft scent of lily floating through the breeze. His limbs felt heavy with a soft pressure thrumming in his head and low in his chest. It made him feel sleepy, like it might be good to just lie back down and close his eyes.

    There was a sound from behind him, a sharp draw of breath, and he forced his limbs into motion. He turned and every thought in his head ground to a halt. It was Shen Qingqiu. He looked exactly as he had in life. His long beautiful hair drifted in the breeze. His robes, as pale as his green eyes, drifted in soft arcs along the grass.

    -or-

     

    Shen Qingqiu died in the Lingxi Caves instead of Liu Qingge. Yue Qingyuan, left to wonder what the pieces of his life mean now, encounters a cursed object that allows him to reunite with his Xiao Jiu, but at what cost.

    Summary

    Shen Qingqiu stood in the middle of the hall, gaze turned to look out the large doors to the side into the sweep of forest and fog covered mountains. His hair was down, falling almost to his calves and his robe was thin, barely more than a sleeping robe. Liu Qingge paused. He'd never seen Shen Qingqiu in less than three layers. Since Shen Qingqiu's qi deviation, he'd stopped dressing so fastidiously, no longer favoring high collars and sleeves that reached down to his fingers, but he still never walked around like this.
    There was something else strange, too. Something in the set of his shoulders, or the tilt of his head, like he'd walked a long way to get here and still could not rest. His gaze was distant. Not cold like Liu Qingge had suspected, but flat. There was no derision or joy there. There was nothing at all.
    -or-
    Liu Qingge starts having strangely vivid dreams of the past. The only commonality between them is Shen Qingqiu. But why is he acting like he did before his qi deviation?

    Summary

    “Mama.”

    If there was any word that could bring a spark of pure, unadulterated joy into Shen Jiu’s fractured heart, it was that one. From his little one. The life he had carried inside him for nine painstaking months. One blessing from the heavens he’d gladly take? That the pup had inherited his features—not his sire’s. Because, if not, Shen Jiu might just kill a man.

    -

    A/N:

    A MamaJiu fic. The story is centered around motherhood, self-acceptance, forgiveness, sacrifice, and unconditional love—Is what a liar would say.

    I just wanted to write something that gives Shen Jiu some well-deserved happiness and AGHH... closure? Maybe more. Honestly, what started as something self-indulgent plot bunny turned into something I wanted to share here on AO3. Enjoy!

    Summary

    Liu Qingge’s soulmate was injured most of the times. There was no time in his childhood that Liu Qingge’s skin was not covered with scars, marks from whips, daggers, even bruises. His parents were concerned and very sympathetic. New wounds appeared almost every day, it didn’t bleed for Liu Qingge, but he wondered just what kind of life his soulmate lead.

    One thing for sure, his soulmate is a very strong one...

    The marks never hurt until a clean nasty red gash mark appeared on his wrist. Then, it hurt. Liu Qingge’s heart hurt so badly that he sobbed for the first time since he was a baby.

    Liu Qingge’s soulmate is a very pitiful person...

    And then, Liu Qingge met Shen Qingqiu.

    Summary

    To say that he runs to his car would be incorrect, as he is a Lan, and running is both undignified and unnecessary unless in immediate danger. Nor does he slam his key into the ignition, or aggressively swerve around the cars on the freeway, or have a mild panic attack at the fact he is picking A-Yuan up late from school for the first time ever.

    He comes close, though.

    By the time he arrives, it’s 4:35PM, and he has imagined about fifty different worse-case scenarios. The door is partly open when he gets to it, a messy label of 104B—Art Room scrawled with chalk on a placard next to the faded wood. As he opens it fully, he expects to see a wailing, terrified child, or perhaps a scene of utter misery and betrayal.

    What he finds is his son, hands covered in paint, being sung to by a beautiful, dark-haired stranger.

    “Ducks live in the pond, yellow ducks, happy ducks!”

    Lan Wangji stops in his tracks.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    He kept his footsteps soft as he stepped out of the trees, but Shen Jiu was perceptive as ever. He whipped around with blazing eyes, fingers already closing on a rock. They did not let it go when he caught sight of Tianlang-jun.
    ”Good evening A-Jiu.” Tianlang-Jun smiled. “How lucky am I to come across a great beauty in the moonlight. Have you read Whispers under Starlit Skies? There is a scene just like this.”
    Shen Jiu sneered at him.
    “I told you not to call me that,” he said.
    -or-
    Yue Qi may not have come back for Shen Jiu but Tianlang-Jun did.

    Summary

    “Mo Ran, look at me.” Mo Ran tries to look up at his shizun but his vision is too blurred. “Calm down and listen to me. I need you to think carefully. Do you have any idea who did this to you?”
    “I- I don’t know!” Mo Ran’s panic is overwhelming him. He can’t think clearly. All he can see is the fear in Chu Wanning’s eyes. Chu Wanning is afraid and he doesn’t even know about his past life. He doesn’t know how cruel Mo Ran really is. Was. Is. Through his tears, Mo Ran sobs, “Shizun! I really can’t think of anything!”
    For the first time in two lifetimes, Chu Wanning reaches across the table and pulls Mo Ran’s hands into his own. “It’s okay, Mo Ran. We’ll figure this out together. I will protect you.”
    ♠︎
    An AU in which Chu Wanning allows his little paper dragon to gossip about the spells he detected around the inn near the Guyueye auction and learns of the long hatred flower still residing dormant in Mo Ran’s heart.

    Summary

    ... But there is no Meng Po’s soup, the seven days of wandering have not yet begun, and Chu Wanning’s Human soul is more human in death than it has been in life, no cultivation base to bolster it through the pain of existence, and so it drifts in its blood-stained white robe, pushed here and pulled there by the tempest of his own mind, at the mercy and judgment of his own regrets.


     

    Or, Chu Wanning has regrets. A lot of them. And his Human soul is going to do something about that.

    Summary

    Shen Qingqiu has lived his life a certain way. Intentionally. There’s a reason he’s never pursued anyone or formed any romantic entanglements. It’s all because of the way he was born. He doesn’t want that part of him to have any sway over his life. 

    But his beastly former disciple…

    Summary

    What Shen Qingqiu had learned of Luo Yuan's mother over the years was a considerable amount of only approximate knowledge.

    He knew that she had birthed Luo Yuan alone and had attempted to suffocate the infant when discovered. That she had suffered a critical deviation which took her memory including the knowledge that the crown prince was her own, and that whilst she remained nearly entirely anonymous, she still resided somewhere in the palace.

    ---

    Shen Qingqiu is forced to raise Luo Binghe's child, unaware that the prince is his own son.

    Summary

    "I won, Shizun."

    A beat of silence, then, Shen Qingqiu nodded. "Not bad," his voice was even lacking its usual coldness. "You handled yourself well."

    Six words. Simple praise that would have seemed faint to anyone else, but to Binghe, who had lived for years without a single word of approval from anyone, it was everything.

    Alternatively: the journey from a girl to a monster for the man she loves.
