SVSSS fic prompts + AO3 links
last updated: May 22nd
Feel free to use any of these as the basis for your fic. Only condition: notify me so I can read it. If you want I’ll add your fic link^^.
Most of the posts aren't much longer than the slightly shortened versions here, but I still linked all the original posts in case there's some detail you like. Besides my own I can also link your renditions of the ideas if you want!
A selfish little something (by binghespeerlesscucumber and @beyondknowingbeyondthestars ): Liu Qingge stumbled across Shen Jiu as a child a-la Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian... But he just didn't remember/recognize him, and Shen Jiu never realized it was the same boy from back then that gave him a toy... (that got broken hours later sadly)
The difference between Shen Jiu's and Shen Yuan's face: After Shen Yuan takes over the body of Shen Qingqiu, his face begins to slowly change bit by bit until it more closely resembles his own instead of Shen Jiu's
"Little Beast" is a trigger for Luo Binghe: As Luo Binghe makes his way to greet his husband, his cheerful mood is suddenly and violently interrupted. „You little beast!” He freezes. Did… did he hear that wrong? He wants to have heard that wrong. He must have.
Pain Tolerance: In preparation for the abyss, SQQ taught Luo Binghe a wide range of cultivation techniques that slightly reduce pain/ increase a person’s pain tolerance, passively and consistently, without informing Binghe of this effect. It would've been suspicious. One day, the couple finds themselves facing a challenge in which Luo Binghe‘s cultivation is completely sealed.
The System has been suppressing Shen Qingqiu's grief: Why was he able to move on so quickly after transmigrating? It’s strange for someone who cares so much. But then, remembering the punishment the system gave SQQ through his dreamscape, it’s clear the system has basically complete control over it. We know the connection between dreams and a person's psyche in svsss. The system suppressing his natural dreamscape gotta have consequences. Severe ones.
Maybe OG!Shen Qingqiu does care: They hear a far away scream, barely within range to be heard at all. It’s the type of scream a person makes when they’re suddenly attacked and only notice the attacker when the blade has already pierced them through the core. And the voice was YQY‘s. Before QQQ and LQG can even react, they see SQQ flying past them at maximum speed towards the direction of the sound. It’s just for a split second, and they’re not sure if they really saw what they saw, but the expression on SQQ‘s face is not only worry but absolute terror.
Soul-fragmenting mirror: Shen Qingqiu comes across an artifact that splits him into several versions of himself taken from different points in time. It's a mirror, and the curse is released when he accidentally breaks it. Now there's a very confused, freshly transmigrated Shen Yuan, a Shen Qingqiu at the height of his gushing-for-his-white-lotus-Binghe days, a Shen Qingqiu who's just stabbed Luo Binghe in the heart and thrown him into the abyss, a Shen Qingqiu who just met Luo Binghe again after he returned way too fast, one who just thought he escaped the water prison, etc., etc. And then there's Luo Binghe in his full demon lord glory, who now has to somehow keep all of these fragments safe.

Misunderstandings, but for once in favour of Shen Jiu: Imagine Liu Qingge one night bursting into the warm red pavilion to finally confront Shen Qingqiu about his behaviour and how he’s being a disgrace to the sect, only to find him surrounded by a bunch of children, teaching them how to read and write. The shit teacher who can’t teach at the peak teaches at the brothel?? Except it was the one time SQQ had lost a bet, and this was his payment.
„Shape of the heart“ pollen hit the peak lords like a semi truck: At a peak lord meeting some disciples decide to prank the peak lords by releasing pollen of a flower called „shape of the heart“. When affected by the pollen, a person’s physiological reactions to their emotions are strongly enhanced, revealing their true feelings no matter how stone faced they usually are, but targeting only the strongest emotion they are experiencing in the moment. The room suddenly goes quiet as the attention of each peak lord wanders one after another to the waterfall of tears Shen Jiu is desperately trying to hide.
SQQ has that nightmare again. The one where Bingge made him into a human stick. It’s just a normal nightmare this time. Brains are weird and his decided we’re doing *that* tonight. LBH wakes up too, having witnessed everything via dream magics. As a master of dreams he knows the difference between dreams made from nonsense and dreams made from true memories. That dream was something his Shizun had really experienced.
