Welcome to a collection of all the AUs I've written about. Didn't realize how many they were but here we go anyhow. I have written for TGCF, SVSSS and Hazbin Hotel. I also have my thoughts about different fandoms and some non-fandom writing at the bottom.
How to read my AUs:
I use "#" and number to indicate that the fic/AU premise is similar to another I have done previously but they aren't connected.
Example: SVSSS Modern AU #01
I use "Part" and a Roman numeral to indicate that this AU has a continuation or will have one in the near future.
Example: HuaLian but it's Mulan: Part I

HOLY SHIT GUYS, I WAS INSPIRED BY THIS POST TO TRY MAKE THE SONG AND YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE THE SCREAM I SCRUMPT WHEN I DRAGGED THE TRAINING AUDIO OVER THE BACKING TRACK AND IT LINED UP PERFECTLY
In which Airplane releases some info outside the books about how the traitorous Shang Qinghua had tried testing the waters with a few peak lords to see if they could be turned to Mobei Jun's side. Experiments which end up unsuccessful.
They involve meetings for tea and checking on their health, bringing small gifts and generally making himself likable for the time period of the testing.
So when Airplane transmigrates and decides to try to turn the scum villain into a good guy, he doesn't expect to have to deal with another very unamused transmigrator who thinks Shang Qinghua is just trying to recruit him.
Except, Shen Yuan's extra cold behaviour towards Shang Qinghua is so very reminiscent of the original goods, Airplane doesn't even suspect him of being anyone else unlike the other peak lords.
Airplane visits Qing Jing and sees Luo Binghe being treated well and is convinced that it must be thanks to him messing with the timeline.
Similarly, Shen Qingqiu sees how some of the more unkind habits SQH had in PIDW aren't there now, and assumes it's because of his own influence. By occupying his attention, SQH can't recruit anyone (not a peak lord) else! SQQ must continue meeting with him.
It isn't until way way later, when LBH is adopted as their son and they are getting ready to be married that they realize each other's true identity.
They could have found out earlier.
Each of them has slipped a modern slang word near the other. They always had excuses about it though.
TV? Oh! That's a code word I created for the Towering Transparent Venomous Viper. It became quite tedious saying the full name after a whole day of hunting it with Liu Qingge.
Airplane? I am trying to create a spell which allows you to fight easier midair by standing on a small plane of condensed air. Neat right?
And later, "No wonder you hated my scum villain! You two are so alike in personality, it's like cats fighting!"
"No wonder you're such a wet noodle, you gave up perfectly fine plot and characterization for papapa money!"
"You know... I'm still a writer here. Different pen name but still."
"You will give me all your works for review from now on. No excuses. You are a peak lord you don't have rent."
UPDATE What's up, it's the proposal guy. You said you wanted to know how this turned out, so I figured I'd tell you. First some context though, because I'm mean and I wanna keep you in suspense longer.
1- I don't wanna doxx us so I'm not telling you where we live, but suffice to say, neither of us are American, and gay marriage has been legal here for less than five years. For both of us, this is the first relationship we've had where marriage was even an OPTION, and I think that's where we've been getting some of that whole 'this has to be a REAL proposal with EVERYTHING' idea.
2- I gotta figure out how to explain this properly. So, I'm pretty used to being the GUY guy in relationships? I was always the one who did the nice gestures, not the one they got done for. Before I met my dream guy, I didn't really notice or care that it was such a thing, I just assumed that's how shit worked. Also, I promised I wouldn't talk a lot about his stuff here, but his last boyfriend before me SUCKED. Anyway point here is, it turns out we both REALLY like feeling swept off our feet sometimes, and a big part of finding each other has been getting to feel special for once? That's a stupid sappy way of putting it the point here is I think all that's what morphed into "I need to be the one getting proposed to, also it has to be completely perfect", and then our Petty & Extra genes got involved.
So I'm sitting in bed thinking about all that up there, and watching all the comments coming in basically being like "Dude, you are BLOWING this" on repeat, and telling me to compromise, and I look up and see him flossing in the bathroom and making all these doofy faces at the mirror, and it's like a switch just flips in my brain, and I'm like "Oh, I'd rather he gets to have his perfect proposal than we both have an okay one". I'm gonna do it.
Morning rolls around, and while I'm 'out for my jog like normal' I hit up a pawn shop for a temp ring (the ring pop thing is cute but NOT HIM). I found one I was at least confident wouldn't get ruined the first time he got his hands greasy (he fixes old machines as a hobby it's hot as hell), got back home, and hid the box in the toe of my nasty ass workout shoes in the bedroom closet, since I figured he'd check there last.
He was still asleep, because he stays up late no matter what and then is SHOCKED he's tired the next day, so I called and booked a table at our usual anniversary spot. (Side note about the 'he picks bad restaurants' thing. This isn't an 'I like Greek, you like Chinese' situation, dude's just BAD at finding places. He either assumes pricey is tasty and I get to eat some overrated gourmet bullshit, or he'll try and find something hip and underground and risk giving us food poisoning again, and he REFUSES to give up and pick somewhere we've been before when it's his turn to plan date night. I'm obsessed with him <3.) Date was set, I'd propose on the 21st.
Some of you might have noticed this, but fun fact! It's currently the 16th.
Last night I'm doing dishes and he's been sent to our room for mug collection duty, and he's taking FOREVER, so I go check just in case he found the ring, because the man's a gift tracking BLOODHOUND. Turns out he hasn't, he's found my Angry Box.
I assume other people have an Angry Box? Basically, we had this huge messy fight right when we first moved in together, and I never wanna let it get that bad again, so I have this shoebox where I keep a bunch of our stuff I can look at if we're fighting and hopefully cool off. There's one of those photo booth roll things, letters we wrote when he moved back with his parents for COVID, the wine cork from our first date, shit like that. Anyway, he's just sitting on the floor staring at it, and I explain about the Angry Box, and then he! Proposes!!! Kind of.
He definitely didn't have anything prepared, because by 'propose' I mean 'ugly cried & rambled at me for several minutes before I figured out it WAS a proposal', but once I got on the same page it was amazing. I said yes, and he had to admit he didn't have a ring for me because he was CONVINCED he'd win and I'd do it, so I grabbed mine because, yeah, he was right. He was like "this is the ugliest ring I've ever seen" and I was like yeah well the plan is to replace it later and he went "No. You can pry this off my cold dead fingers. After I'm buried with it." So I guess it's not a temporary ring anymore.
I'm just gonna go ahead and skip to this morning. I pointed out we still have the reservation, and he said I should propose there anyway because "We can get a free dessert. They have those creme brulee shot glasses you like. And for love, or something" and I said ok deal, but that means you gotta get me a ring to keep it fair, and his eyes LIT UP. When I swung by his work for lunch he was still on the phone with a jeweler and he had a whole page of notes on three other ones. Pray for me.
OH PS: I was RIGHT that he'd been the one behind the cat biting me, but it wasn't about the proposal stuff, it's because I paid my baby sister three dollars to shout 'fuck you' every single time he enters a room she's in for (if you ask me, he should be madder at my sister for charging so little), and he did it by giving her a bunch of treats for biting his hands too, so now neither of us can pet our baby girl without oven mitts on. HOLY SHIT I love this man.
Oh my goddddddd I love everything about this <333 I awwww'd out loud on a voice call, like, six times while reading. You two are friggin perfect for each other and so obviously smitten with each other and I wish y'all all the happiness in the world
PS Are y'all planning to have a big wedding? If so oh boy I can't WAIT to get that one in the inbox
We both wanna get married and our families & friends are cool and everything (honestly he's my mom's favorite child at this point), but he says I should have to do the actual proposal and I say he should.
He thinks since I hate every restaurant he takes me to (I work in food service I know what I'm about he picks BAD places) I should just be in charge of it, I think since he makes way more and he's stupid picky about jewellery (he knows what the different gemstone cuts are. He has OPINIONS on gemstone cuts. I am marrying a monster) he should have to buy the ring, and we both need it to be a special romantic surprise enough that we're not about to co-propose or some shit. We're also both guys, so there's not really any traditional rules to fall back on here, either.
It's been mostly fine, but his 30th birthday was the week before last and he's LEGIT mad I didn't propose then. We took a whole trip and had dinner with his entire family (we live a 2 1/2 hour flight away) and shit, so if I were gonna do it, that would've been the time. I told him I've already said I wasn't proposing, and that he can do it himself or we can be boyfriends for his 70th birthday too, and he said "If we're not married by the time I'm 70 you will be LUCKY to still be boyfriends" and stormed off to our room, and now he says he's fine but I'm 90% sure he's been training the cat to bite my hands? It's happened every single time I try to pet her and he looks very smug about it.
So did I fuck up here or what?
PS If I'm not the asshole how do I talk him into proposing already I am DYING over here I wanna marry him so BAD. He BRIBED the CAT to BITE me I NEED this man to be my husband N O W .
I want more Shen Yuan + Liu siblings interactions where it becomes increasingly more obvious that Shen Yuan thinks Liu Mingyan is cooler than her brother (she was his blorbo too!) and both the Liu siblings are utterly baffled by it. Liu Mingyan ends up using this adoration to push Shen Yuan in the direction of ships she approves (ie AWAY FROM HER BROTHER). Liu Qingge becomes extremely jealous of the attention Shen Yuan gives his baby sister, and begins the mortifying ordeal of showing off to his crush, often adjacent to his sister who knows what he’s doing and is actively trying to make him look like an idiot so he stays out of her yaoi.
LMY, eyeing her brother as he approaches with flowers: Oh Yuan-ge, did you know Gege used to sleep with a stuffed horse or else he would cry until he threw up? He still has the horse. It’s named Pinkie, because it has a pink nose.
SY, experiencing cute aggression with the power of 1,000 suns (internally): OHHHHH MY GOD THAT IS THE CUTEST THING IVE EVER HEARD OF, THE GAP MOE IS TOO POWERFUL!!!!!! RAGHGGGG IM GONNA DIE FROM CUTE OVERLOAD!!!!!!!!!!!!
SY (out loud): Pinkie is a great horse name, I’d love to see it sometime. Reminds me of the stuffed cat I used to sleep with, named Kitty. :)
LMY (internally): Damnit…
LQG, listening to the entire interaction: Maybe… Kitty could meet Pinkie?
Also potentially incredible if Liu Qingge believes that is his sister is actually wingmaning him with her superior knowledge of romance since every time she gets involved he and Shen Yuan get closer.
Look, Binghe's whole thing is that he's the genius protagonist who can always put the pieces together, of course he already knows that his Shizun and Shen Jiu are different people. He had five years to meticulously examine his spiritual pathways and literally pick Mu Qingfang and Qiu Haitang's brains, he has enough information to reach that conclusion.
By the Holy Mausoleum arc, he clearly sees that Shen Qingqiu has knowledge beyond what a human cultivator should be capable of, and by the end of the Bing-mei vs Bing-Ge extra, he knows where Shizun got that knowledge.
It's not a huge stretch to deduce that Bing-Ge is the man Shizun was running from in Jin Lan; a violent conqueror with a harem full of every woman his well-meaning teacher has ever tried to encourage him to romance. Once Shen Qingqiu confirms that he's met Bingge before, that inference would be all but confirmed. even without any knowledge of the system, he has gotten like 85% of the story straight.
The remaining non-system percent that he's still misunderstanding is that, due to Bing-Ge implying that they'd slept together, he probably assumes Shizun's past life was one of Bing-Ge's neglected wives. Whoops!
