SVSSS Mermay au - siren song

Now, and I went to fact check this, in H2O siren song is actually a very limited ability that (usually) only born sirens have, and even then it's a limited part of the populace. Mermen actually have a shockingly low amount of rights and rights to merpeople abilities. Does Xiang Fei know or remember that? No, but he'd assume it only works on mermaids anyways and the System ran with that.

However, mermen in PIDW do still have some singing abilities, in the sense that their voices are very melodic by nature, even though they do not possess the ability to put men under a thrall. Mermaids, on the other hand, do possess that ability, so the general (human/demon) populace would assume they all possess the skill as a species.

What this means for this AU tho is that Mobei Jun, after finally researching merpeople finds all these stories of sailors and lake dwellers who talk of the enchanting songs of the fish people who will use their Song to pull you deep into the depths of water and steal your life away. Now he looks at his servant and thinks to himself that there's no way such a thing is actually true because... well. Shang Qinghua is not really that much of an out-of-this-world beauty with a "voice that always carries a part of the Song and makes you unable to think straight in their presence".

That is, he doesn't believe the rumours until he comes upon his servant humming while doing paperwork on An Ding peak. The song is unlike anything he has heard before and has an almost dream-like quality to it that makes him want to stand there and listen to him forever.

Considering this is still pre-plot era, he has an entirely normal and logical reaction to this fact--as in he panics and runs away the moment Shang Qinghua looks up at him with a soft "My King?". He does not return for a week. The whole week is spent thinking about that moment and researching ways to stop enchantments because what else could that feeling be? Surely it must be some powerful magic to make him feel this way. He must find a way to nullify it and punish his servant for trying to enchant him like this!

Shang Qinghua spends the whole week very confused and anxious because His King just? Took one look at his singing and was so horrified that he had to leave? Is his singing so bad that even humming made Mobei Jun run away!?!? He knew he'd never win any awards in his past life, but man, why did the System have to punish him in this life too!? Life really is never fair to this poor author...

me, the last 3 days of may: man I really need to write seminars for all those uni classes with deadlines within the next two weeks... oh wait it's still mermay I should finish the mermay fic au thingy-

[lorewritesstuff]

me: It's just a typo on a silly joke post that less than 10 people will see, surely it is not needed for me to edit the tags

me, watching the notes count go up by 50 by the hour: surely-

[lorewritesstuff]

LMY (and others') view of moshang: And then the big scary ice demon pushed down the weak, trembling cultivator who was unable to escape his tender mercies.

meanwhile Moshang:

MBJ, robes artfully falling around his chest: Shang Qinghua. Come to bed.

SQH, all but stabbing the paper with red ink: Not now, Daddy's about to end this man's whole career.

SVSSS Mermay Au - worldbuilding / setting

For those who don't know, H2O - Just Add Water is an Australian tv show where a group of girls takes a swim in a magic pool and gets turned into mermaids who have different water-related powers, to keep it short. Besides Moon Pools, mermaids are also naturally occurring and can be born, but have different (stronger) and more elemental powers (besides water).

Shang Qinghua, after remembering he binged the whole thing at one point, decides to use what he remembers of the show and add H2O-inspired mermaids into PIDW (he does indeed get flamed by PC after he clocks it).

The way it transfers to PIDW is a bit different from H2O canon, but retains some similarities:

LBG, during his post-CQM-burning wandering days, comes across a legendary cave near the ocean (Moon Blessed Glittering Oasis) where a Beautiful Maiden who guards the cave pool warns him to stay away lest he gets 'cursed' to a life of fearing even a single touch of water. She tells the story of getting lost after a shipwreck and taking shelter at a cave during the full moon, when a beautiful maiden beckoned her to join her for a swim (and some yuri activities) before the water turned wild and bubbles enveloped her form and turned her into a cursed mix of half-human, half-fish! LBG gets taken by her tale and promises to take revenge on these surely lustful and evil creatures that would curse such a lovely maiden like herself, while she keeps begging him to stay away because it is almost time for the full moon to shine once again. The moon suddenly shines really bright and illuminates the pool of water in a mesmerizing way before a lovely (mermaid) maiden emerges from the pool to beckon the Cursed Lady to leave the man next to her and join her in the sea for life. LBG, being the manly man he is, goes to take a swing at the evil creature trying to kidnap the maiden, when suddenly the water around him rises to meet his swing and freezes him in place! It was the Cursed Maiden! Having been the only person to enter the Moon Pool that time, she got all three base powers and was now using them to stop LBG from causing harm to the Mermaid. Her life may be cursed now, but it is a curse she will gladly accept and live with if he decides to spare the Mermaid's life. (They're dating, your honor.) PIDW being what it is, the whole encounter ends up with LBG 'keeping peace' by having an orgy with both ladies, both outside and inside the Moon Pool. LBG, being a heavenly demon, isn't 'cursed' like the Lovely Maiden, but instead temporarily gains powers to breathe in water during the time the encounter takes place. He doesn't end up marrying either lady, but they do have a few encounters from time to time (patreon only! high-tier subscribers exclusive!) where they repeat this in between the ladies traveling the land together (and having orgies with even more mermaids, yes. LBG is sometimes there because he legally has to appear in every chapter).

SY roasts the hell out of him for mismanaging both the H2O setting and the interesting plot turn before it turned into normal porn, but this little bit of lore gets set aside and forgotten as PIDW!LBH goes on yet another super cool legendary artefact or sword adventure.

This does establish mermaids as a thing in PIDW however, both turned and natural-born ones. The concept is broadly transferred, but up to both SQH and the System's interpretation of what is and isn't canon lore. Things that are known from that event are as follows:

Mermaids exist. There are ways to be both born and turned into one.

Mermaids have elemental or water-based powers.

When in direct contact with water, the mermaid will show their mermaid-related attributes, such as a tail, scales, and fins.

Mermaids aren't a common sight, and knowledge of them isn't widespread among other races. Those who do know of them usually react with fear.

Mermaids can have romantic or other partners with other races, such as humans.

They might even actively seek partners for such a reason. They may seek out men for that reason.

Fast forward to (pre) SVSSS timeline and 'Shang Qinghua's dad's little... rendezvous with a mermaid during a trade deal outing, which resulted in a very pissed off mermaid lady storming up to the man and dumping a baby in his arms 9 months later, saying if he does not wish to take responsibility and join the sea flock he might as well take responsibility and raise the male spawn he helf her with. This has horrible consequences for his marriage and makes Xiang Fei a child of divorce twice in as many lifetimes. He is very much not amused by that and would like a refund from the System!

What this does mean though, is that you have young Airplane, born merman, with a crumbling family life and only vague memories of the show to guide him through his mermaid heritage. He spends his whole childhood stressing about not touching water around other people, the inevitable PIDW death the System tries to push him towards--despite the genre divergence--and learning how to cultivate on top of that, because apparently being half mermaid doesn't affect his spiritual roots.

(Don't ask him how he bathes or keeps clean despite the whole water thing. It's trope logic. Life finds a way. Same way it did in the original show. What's one more loophole in this world all but built on top of them?)

[lorewritesstuff]

Also have the OG timeline I spent way too long thinking about back when I first thought of the AU:

The original was written on the side of a uni reading paper lmao

I'm going along the 'established' ages/events timeline (more or less) but adding my 'SQH is one of the older/oldest PL and a little older than MBJ too' hc. Now I usually hc SQH like a year older than MBJ, but felt like playing around with the number 3 here (for the 3 base powers in H2O).

Don't ask me how old Tianxi are. They are courting age, and that's all that matters to either of them.

I thought about making the setting disciple days but as fun as young moshang are, SQH is very 'complaining about both my bosses' shaped in my head, so I need him to be Peak Lord age. Even if newly minted PL some 2ish years after the previous (An mby?) generation of PL ascends (after heavy wounds and losses after the battle with TLJ).

Also MBJ is defs an only child by the time the SVSSS plot rolls around, and the story just wouldn't make sense then, considering one of said nonexisting siblings is to blame for the reveal.

SVSSS Mermay/H2O Just add water AU

Doing a lil poll for my SVSSS Mermay Au because H2O rules means he has to have a power.

Which mermaid power should SQH have?

Hydrokinesis

Hydro-Cryokinesis

Hydro-Thermokinesis

Electrokinesis

Pyrokinesis

Voting ended onMay 9

Power explanation:

Hydrokinesis - the ability to control and manipulate water or things that contain water at will.

Hydro-Cryokinesis -the power to freeze water or anything containing liquid.

Hydro-Thermokinesis - the power to heat and boil the water or anything containing liquid at will.

Electrokinesis - the ability to create, control and manipulate electricity and lightning.

Pyrokinesis - the power to start and put out fires. (Very hard to control.)

- The names and definitions are all taken from the H2O wiki.

Special note - as a born merperson SHQ will have Atmokinesis (the ability to control and create storms) and (temporal) Invisibility. Now, does he remember he has those abilities or has practiced them enough to properly control them is another matter entirely...

[lorewritesstuff]

Why am I even surprised you all want to give electric powers to the guy who died via electricity and is now part fish.

(I would do the same)

SVSSS Mermay au

Hello, it is 15 to midnight and I have so much to do tomorrow morning. So I'm making a SVSSS Mermaid au, H2O style, yippie. Moshang edition <3

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

There are things Shang Qinghua regrets. So so many things he regrets about his most (in)famous work he got transmigrated to after his... untimely... demise. From countless fuck or die plants, deadly monsters, or unending paperwork both of his unfeeling bosses hoist upon him, there are many things he regrets indeed.

(People will tell you Yue Qingyuan is a very polite and kind man. They are lying to themselves. Yue Qingyuan is just as much of a slave driver, heh, as Mobei Jun is. He will simply smile at your face while he heaps most of his work on you, so he can spend hours buying useless trinkets that his oh so dear Xiao-Jiu will throw back at his face.)

Yes, there are many things he regrets, but none so much as binging all of H2O: Just Add Water and adding water-activated mermaids to his story. Water-activated mermaids that he just so happens to be related to because his father simply couldn't keep it in his pants. Cucumber-bro--System rest his hating soul back in Shanghai or wherever rich people with way too much time on their hands to do anything but hate on poor hardworking writers live--would probably argue this is exactly what he deserves for his 'sellout ways' but no one said staying true to your original work sells for a reason! Besides, the underwater mermaid sex money allowed him to order the custom-order one-of-a-kind Mobei Jun mousepad! Cucumber bro and his vast collection of official LBH merch speak for themselves.

(Protip, if you don't want to be judged for owning stallion novel protagnost shirtless figurines, maybe don't use the same username on all of your accounts.)

Cucumber-bro's possible 5-page karma essays aside, being half-mermaid (merman? mereperson???) is a very inconvenient thing to be when your side gig is working for an ice demon. Who lives in the Northern Desert, which is covered in ice. Which is frozen water. You know, the thing that turns people into mermaids in the H20 universe.

Safe to say, having this vastly unexpected and unappreciated ancestry, you hack of a system, is a problem. One that just might cost him his life and sooner rather than later.

As if life wasn't hard enough as an An Ding disciple. Do you know how many water-related chores An Ding has? Fetching water, washing clothes, cleaning, carrying barrels of water from place to place, cooking, and many, many others that their own and other Peaks see to assign them daily for no reason but the shame of being on the servant peak, as the others call it. Like any of them would last a week without all the hard work An Ding does for them! Not to mention all the undesirable away missions and goods transport missions that happen during the rain season that are always heaped onto An Ding.

It is a (system-granted, though not cheap!) miracle Shang Qinghua has made it this far in life at all. 'A miracle whose effects are finally coming to an end, it seems', as Shang Qinghua eyes the rip that somehow managed to go through his many layers of clothing he wears whenever he visits (or gets dragged to more likely) Northern Desert.

And his day was going so well before this too! Mobei Jun's 2nd eldest (the first has been dead for quite a while at this point in time) brother couldn't postpone his fratricide attempts for a day when he wasn't there? It is rather rude of him, and he really did have his death coming for doing such a thing in such an out-of-the-way place with few witnesses besides Shang Qinghua himself. But his death doesn't change the fact that Shang Qinghua is now covered in little slashes through his clothing from where some stray daggers and sword swings pelted him with qi or ice. Or the fact that some of those daggers were indeed made of ice. Magical ice demon ice, but ice still.

Shang Qinghua is 26 years old (+/- two decades, technically), his protagonist was born 4 years ago, and he is going to die a whole decade before he gets to see his fluffy-haired little calamity attend the CQM trials because he has approximately 10 seconds before he is outed as a merman. In the middle of an ice field surrounded by nothing but ice and snow as far as the eye can see, and an overpowered (but still so very dashing even covered in the cooling blood of his kin) ice demon with a history of hating secrets and the unexpected.

There really isn't much time to think anything besides 'oh fuck' as the System greets him with a happy little jingle and [You got this host!] before he finds himself lying flat on the floor, flopping around as a fish on dry ground.

[lorewritesstuff]

"If you're so determined to bring down this sect, at least make sure you're not buried along with it."

Shen Qingqiu's words kept ringing around in his head more and more as the days pass.

Cang Qiong Sect fell down eight months ago, and Shang Qinghua is starting to wonder if all of it was worth it.

Overworked, underappreciated, and outright ignored. All good reasons to betray his old sect and leave it to Luo Binghe's tender mercies. Such grandiose might and it all fell like a bunch of cards not even a forthright after Yue Qingyuan's death.

Foolish man, throwing it all away for a man long past saving even before the trial that got him locked in the Water Prison. He never did understand the mess those two kept dragging int everyone's business, never card to either. Working with those two was almost as bad as working for the sect.

Not that his current line of work is any better. Word on the street is Luo Binghe's cleaning house after his dear Shizun's passing and he knows better than to count on Mobei-Jun to save his ass. Ungrateful bastard that he is.

His Shixiong's 'advice' really was more of a kindness than that man ever meant it was indeed. But no worries Shixiong! The world may be closing in on him but he's got a shovel and Shang Qinghua's never been afraid to dig.

SVSSS Pokemon Au pt2 (SQH & MBJ)

Welcome to pt2 of this fun little au, you can find pt1 here where I wrote about SY and SJ. This part is dedicated to SQH and MBJ.

This AU is basically a PIDW au/fanfic where they're in a pokemon world. Xiang Fei transmigrated into Shang Qinghua and Shen Yuan tranmigrated into an OC the older (twin?) brother of Shen Jiu.

Shen Jiu is still the PL of QJP and SY is on the Beast (Pokemon taming???) peak, as a PL or not up to you.

CQM disciples get a starter pokemon as their first pokemon when they finish the entrance trials

Shang Qinghua still works as a spy for MBJ but only SY knows about that.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Shang Qinghua (Normal)

- Delphox (starter) - Furret - Smeargle - Lopunny - Glaceon - Ditto / Magikarp

Delphox - he got Fennekin as his starter after joining An Ding Peak. The little ball of fluff was full of energy and mischief (and its cute face was a great distraction when SQH needed to get away from situations). Braixen was left behind during the mission he met MBJ at (it was supposed to be a simple delivery mission and there was no need for pokemon to accompany them) so SQH managed to hide having a fire type starter for longer than both he and the system expected. Delphox in his later years became his hidden ace and was only really used in fight or flight situations (and on MBJ's enemy... problem solving...) as people slowly forgot about her presence

The fox also wasn't a fan of the cold of the North and preferred to stay in its pokeball while there. Delphox reveal happened during the ascension ceremony, where SQH pretended to betray MBJ and set him on fire only to attack LGJ instead. MBJ feeling all sorts of feels tried to accuse him of lying to him to which SQH replied "you never asked" before leaving

Furret - on the other hand was his day-to-day companion and the pokemon most people associated with him. The speedy weasel was great for finding scrolls and delivering messages to his Shidis and Shixiongs who were trying to avoid doing their own taxes.

Smeargle - is a nod to his writer days when he had to write thousands of words daily to be able to survive. It's also a great companion in his day-to-day work as the ADPL and Northern Desert Advisor. It is often seen taking notes in meetings and signing off on documents SQH is too busy to attend to at the moment.

Lopunny - the rant SY had after he first saw Lopunny is something that will go down in CQM history as the longest and most expletive-filled rant ever heard by the usually gentle Beast Peak Lord (that they are aware of). SQH got him because he thought it was the most PIDW-esque pokemon to have around, considering the setting, and its cute face is a great distraction before it knocks you unconscious. His son is cute and powerful so suck on that Cucumber-bro!

Glaceon - SQH got his shiny Eevee from one of the trading partners who were hoping to get a discount while trading with CQM (it hadn't worked but he still kept the Eevee). Eevee evolved into Glaceon during a Northern Castle visit when it got into the treasury and accidentally ate an Ice Stone (MBJ was very proud of the little tyke's daring and took it as a sign of compatibility with SQH, who was too busy praying for his and his pokemon's life to notice the pleased glint in his eyes). Glaceon likes to take naps with MBJ whenever he visits the Leisure House much to SQH's dismay (and jealousy. Why does his mischievous little son get to sleep next to his King while SQH has to sleep on the cold floor! Life is so unfair for this poor author)

Ditto - is it a bird? Is it a plane shooting towards the sky? No, it's a spy's favorite Ditto! Need a birds eye in the sky? A small rodent to get into secret places? A big scary pokemon to intimidate pokemon in the wild? Get a ditto!

now I choose ditto because of both his spy and traitor roles but @beyondknowingbeyondthestars thought of a funny alternative; SQH having a Magikarp that he simply keeps calling that even after it evolves into a Gyarados which would give all of his enemies (and some alies) a fright when he calls out for his poor little 'Magicarp' to wipe the floor with the enemy pokemon.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Mobei-Jun (Ice)

- Empoleon (starter, of sorts) - Chien-Pao - Beartic - Avalugg - Alolan Ninetales - Froslass

Empoleon - now, not a starter per se, but given to young Mobei to take care of and to train to take care of him. Each Mobei heir is given a Piplup when they reach a certain age. He got his Piplup after he was kidnapped by HH when his Uncle abandoned him in the human realm. Piplup had evolved into Prinplup by the time MBJ met SQH, but was kept away through LGJ's efforts. Prinplup was no more impressed by teen SQH than MBJ was, and Empoleon only came to (grudgingly) respect SQH after the succession ceremony.

Chien-Pao - MBJ as the ruler of the Northern Desert is granted the favor of a mythical beast if he can prove his worthiness by fighting it. And that's the story of how MBJ got adopted as Chien-Pao's cub. It is seen as a great honor and a good luck charm for his reign as monarch, and helps earn the respect of elders and LGJ's followers, who were more partial to his Uncle before he bonded with it.

Beartic - Real-life polar bears are horrifying enough, seeing MBJ's Beartic in person made SQH scared him so much that if he had a single stray thought (after long weeks of writing treaties, and doing inventory checks, and fending off assassins after the King's 'pet') of ever betraying MBJ he sure gave up those plans now! 8 feet tall, and with breath as cold as the Northern Desert itself, Beartic is a terrifying beast of nature. This only serves to make MBJ smile as he remembers the teary-eyed Cubchoo it was when he first took it in.

Avalugg - this terrifying piece of ice likes to spend its free time imitating glaciers and ice chunks before surprise attacking its prey. Both MBJ and Avalugg have a great time during these play fights as they both know they can go all out without the other predator finishing them off.

Ninetales - MBJ got a shiny (Alolan) Vulpix as a gift from his uncle back before the betrayals started. It was more of a pet, maybe even one that was more decorative than functional (protective) in nature, but a pretty little royal gift. She remains one of his most treasured possessions and is one of the main reasons why he can't bring himself to kill his uncle. Ninetales now is not nearly as fond of LGJ as she was as a kit and is slow to trust anyone who tries to get close to MBJ. It has weekly territorial stare-offs with SQH's Glaceon over who gets to nap close to MBJ and enjoy the cold he emits. It is quite comical to see, especially because Glaceon is usually the winner 7/10 times.

Froslass - MBJ met her in the Silver-lined MoonStone Ice Plains, where she had amassed a very respectable collection of demon-minion-and-smaller-beasts ice decorations. He was called to deal with the malicious pokemon who kept terrorizing the Ice Plains and gained an interior decorator instead. Shang Qinghua thinks she hates him and does his best to stay as far away from her as possible. She is actually quite fond of him and wants to add him to her collection of frozen trinkets. MBJ finds it too funny to ever clear up that misconception.

While lacking trust in most other demons (and any in humans), pokemon are the only beings MBJ feels he can actually put trust in. He has proven himself to them just as they have to him, and their bond is as strong as the ice the Northern Palace stands on. SQH is secretly glad his King at least has those pokemon to count on in this life as opposed to the lonely life he lived in his original novel.

SVSSS Pokemon Au pt1 (SY & SJ)

Right this is gonna be more team based comps than anything else bc I had ideas last night and talking with @beyondknowingbeyondthestars gave me even more ideas but I will elaborate more on that later

Ok so ground rules, while a full team comp would be a bit different (and I now have two ideas for LBH/LBG) the og setup was:

starter (CQM mandated when joining), and (mostly) type based team (are they peak mandated? maybe. I haven't thought that far honestly) + strong demon leaders having access to legendaries (sect leaders too? mby) bc I needed something as a difference. Could also make it so demons are Dark type partial ig but I digress,

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Shen Yuan (fairy/variety)

- Charizard (Charmander starter) - Rotom (System self insert <3) - Meganium - Gardevoir - Sylveon - Rockruff

okay, now, I know I said Peak type and type teams in general but I am letting SY live out his beast peak dreams and just collect whatever he likes or thinks is cool (tho I did notice a lot of them are a fairy adjacent actually)

Is he a transmigrator in this? Yes, tho a self-insert of sorts bc related to SJ. He and SQH both got transmigrated into a Pokemon au/fanfic of PIDW

gonna have Charmander as his starter bc well, it's SY, and he gets to end up with a dragon, which I feel like his monster-loving self would love. Also flying pokemon allows him to travel easily all over the place to find other cool pokemon

Rotom - the System self insert! He woke up after getting shocked by a wild Rotom, which turned out to be a Rotom/System fusion (the System tried to bond to SQH the same way, but I fear he simply does not vibe with electric types). It's usually just a normal Rotom that can connect to the System when necessary to give out missions and such

Meganium - grass type partiality bc of his brother is what he tells people, but in reality he simply ran into a Bayleef one day while exploring and it followed him home after he fed it some candies and organic pokefood. In Meganium's mind it is a lapdog and it rivals LBH with how sticky it is

Gardevoir - saved a Ralts from poachers who were doing illegal pokemon trade and nursed it back to health after which it decided to stick with him as well. Was quite shy as a Ralts and Kirlia but grew confidence after evolving into Gardevoir to protect SY during a fight.

Sylveon - got an Eevee from SQH because what else are two pokemon nerds gonna do but get Eevees and see what it evolves into? Sylveon is a spoiled little princess and knows it. It has, to SQH's great dismay, taken after its trainer and helps SY bully SQH about his writing.

Rockruff - his name is Bingpup (yes he named it after og!LBH. yes svsss!LBH is jelly of it). It evolves into Lycanroc after LBH falls into the Abyss. Midday form - thought about the other two forms but I think it staying the same as LBH changes and then wishes he stayed his pre-demon seal self would be a nice narrative choice (System gives him points for that, SY is not amused)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Shen Jiu (Grass/Dark)

- Serperior (starter) - Leavanny - Roserade - Leafeon - Meowscarada - Absol

Serperior is his starter which was given to him by the previous QJP peak lord as a Snivy. The other Head Disciples (later Peak Lords) did make comments about it with time ("Snake for a snake, figures."), but he never stopped loving the pokemon as the first and most valuable gift his Shizun gave him

Other disciples tried to argue he was too old to get to choose a starter that would grow as he did, as is the QCM tradition, and it was indeed out of the breeding season that disciples usually get pokemon from (after the trials) so the QJPL gave him a pokemon that hatched from their own starter

Leavanny - he found a Sewaddle munching on the bamboo leaves on QJP and wanted to get rid of it, but the little guy was entranced by the bamboo embroidery on SJ's robes and simply would not leave him alone (the Shen curse strikes again). After evolving it helps SJ make his famous embroidery works he is known for as the QJPL. It is very fond of his disciples and is known to sometimes nab a robe or two and put bamboo motives on it like the ones SJ had while he was a disciple himself

Roserade - he got Budew from the Warm Red Pavilion ladies during his times as a disciple. One of the ladies there kept them as a hobby and decided to gift him a Budew before her contract was bought by a man who lived out of town. He decided to keep it at the WRP until it evolved into a Roselia to keep it safe from his sect siblings, who like him weren't too above underhanded tactics to keep in the lead for being Head Disciple.

Leafeon - gifted to him as an Eevee by SQH from the same batch as SY's Eevee. SJ thinks it was SQH's attempt to make himself look less suspicious (not untrue) while presenting it as a thing to help the siblings bond and keep in touch. Its Leaf Blade attack is often used the same way (and at the same time) as SJ's Plucked Leaves Flying Flowers as their signature duo move

Meowscarada - the sheer level of judging you that SJ and Meowscarada give off while looking at you behind twin fans is unmatched. SY gifted him a Floragato he rescued from a mission dealing with poachers. Florgato and SJ did not get along at all at first. Florgatto was too distrustful of humans and SJ saw too much of himself in the little cat hissing at him whenever he got too close to it. It was a long journey of learning to trust one another that led them from barely existing trust to what they have today

Absol - "everywhere an Absol goes, disaster follows" is a saying well-known and spread by the general populace of the PIDW au setting. And has there ever been a bigger disaster in the making than the end of the world fated to happen because of one bitter, bitter man? If getting close with Florgatto was SJ's path to getting honest with himself, bonding with Absol was SJ's path to accepting life can get better despite everything it throws at you.

The sheer negativity surrounding SJ's life has made Absol a silent shadow appearing from time to time ever since SJ was a child. He had come to know that seeing the pokemon means his life is about to get worse. From the Qius to Wu Yanzi to meeting YQY once again, Absol was there to see it all happen. You can guess such a thing hadn't made him all that fond of the pokemon no matter the healing items it tried to bring him, and little warnings it kept trying to signal during night hunts and close fights. Over time (and a lot of SY's influence about Absol simply being a pokemon and not SJ's personal heart demon!) he slowly grew to appreciate her looking out for him and let her stay closer and closer until she became a member of his team

(you can imagine how literally everyone reacted to that. If the pkmn au happend w/o SY and XF being there Absol 100% would have been used as evidence of him being evil during the PIDW trial)

Now, him getting closer with his little disaster sensor sadly did not help LBH's initial days at QJP. I fear the only thing worse than LBH having a mother in this au, was Absol silently growling at him from the moment he stepped foot on QJP

SVSSS Mamma Mia AU

Hello, you'll never guess what I watched on tv- Anyways, on to the AU:

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Shen Yuan as Sophie (getting married to Luo Binghe ofc ofc) and wanting to know about his father who Shen Jiu (as Donna) never talks about

Shen Jiu ran away/was banished from CQM sect after getting pregnant/magic plant baby SY. Let's follow along with PIDW/SVSSS logic and make it a sex pollen plant. A wife plot even.

He took what money he could, bought out all the contracts for his friends at the WRP and they moved to some mountain or other where they now live as 'The Fairies of [insert mountain name]'

Shen Yuan met a post Abyss Binghe there [got kicked all the way from Bai Zhan peak to the Abyss], and it was love at first sight, much to SJ's dismay. But, his A'Yuan is happy, and the Beast at least seems powerful enough to keep his son safe, so he supposes he can allow it. (Better the Beast you know—and who is head over claws for your son—than one you don't).

Shen Yuan is getting married to the love of his life soon, and the only thing that would make his life better would be if his father found someone to take care of him while Shen Yuan is away in the Demon Realm. Thankfully, he and his best friend Shang Fei (the half-brother of the peak lord, yes) found his father's diary and have read all about the men who were after his father 20 years ago.

And so Shen Yuan invites the 3 men mentioned in the diary: the Bai Zhan War God, Liu Qingge, the fearsome former Demonic Emperor, Tianlang-Jun; and the CQM's Sect Leader, the Xuan Su Sword, Yue Qingyuan.

[Luo Binghe is about to have, just, the worst week of his life 2 days before his wedding.]

[beyondknowingbeyondthestars]

Working on a little outline for a potential (NOTE POTENTIAL) fic for Ming Fan x Tianglang-Jun

"Stuck Between These Walls, I Envy You" would be the title if I go through with it

Ming Fan was never meant to find this place. He was never supposed to stumble across this cavern after being seperated from his nighthunt.

Tianglang-Jun couldn't be happier about having some company, even if it is a human. Really, it's been much too long, and if he makes a wrong move his nephiew can just kill the cultivator.

But when Ming Fan gets trapped inside of the cave system with no way for him to escape, things take a strange turn as the trapped demon and the head disciple accidentally discover a weak point in the runes keeping Tianglang-Jun trapped beneath the mountian.

Well, we can only hope that doesn't cause any unintended problems after Ming Fan manages to escape, exiting with an unusual crush and leaving behind a demon lord that had quickly become infatuated with him.

[lorewritesstuff]

Ming Fan, back on Qing Jing, thinking about the hot DILF (that concerningly looks like his most problem-seeking of shidis!) he accidentally unleashed upon the world: I hope this doesn't awaken anything in me

/ / / /

meanwhile TLJ: Nephew, I have found my new muse! With those petal pink lips!

ZZL: His lips were beige?

TLJ: And that maiden's pout when he looks shy!

ZZL: That was frowning. Jungshang he was annoyed

TLJ: Now, he's not as spirited as my Xian-er-

ZZL: -may her soul rot in the fires of the Abyss-

TLJ: but we can work on that! Yes! Oh it's going to be just like that scene from The Maiden Dines With Her Lord Tonight! I can already see it! Hey, hey nephew, go back to the palace and find me a pipa. I must compose a song worthy of his love!

ZZL, already tired: ...yes Junshang
