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

Like to imagine Xie Lian’s first birthday after Hua Cheng comes back, and everyone knows he’s going to stop by Heaven at some point that week and that Crimson Rain WILL BE COMING WITH HIM to be sure his beloved has a nice birthweek. So of courses there’s a whole scramble to get him a gift so as not to offend Hua Cheng and end up dead.
The entire court is looking for presents, and at first they try to get Fengqing to make recommendations, but those two are completely convinced that every question is from a spy acting on behalf of the other to get them to reveal their present so they can plot to get something better and so of course they will not say shit. At some point, a random official remembers he’s a Sword Guy and a freaking Martial God, so they finally chill like, oh yeah, we know what to do with those kinda guys.
Cut to Xie Lian being handed swords like flowers in the streets, except most of the swords are his old swords he had to sell that other officials picked up, and Hua Cheng is sitting in the back, patting himself on the back for sneaking a clone into Heaven and securing Xie Lian his reparations.
tbh I’ve always found it very funny that Elrond is like “there’s no point bringing Glorfindel on the quest, even though he’s a balrog-slayer. You won’t need balrog-slayers” and then thirty pages later they run into a balrog
#most elves aren’t #just glorfindel #dwarves on the other hand ARE bioluminescent #but it’s in a spectrum that elves and men and orcs can’t see in #hobbits can see in that spectrum fine #for better mushroom hunting #but they think it’s rude to point out that one of their party members is glowing #and so the dwarves have no idea the hobbits notice (via @mandaloriandy)
The first night Bilbo camped with the company he very nearly said something about it, but, having no idea what dwarves are and thinking it might be rude, he kept the observation to himself and decided that dwarves must be some kind of fungus. It improved his estimation of them most incredibly, and was, in fact, one of the observations he was most keen to pass on when he got back, seeing as how—even if it didn’t quite make him respectable, per se—it at least provided a valuable new addition to hobbits’ mushroom-lore, which no one (not even a certain few silver-spoon possessing relatives) could fault him for.
#anyways it’s common knowledge in the shire that dwarves are actually just a kind of mushroom#but no one says anything#because they think (seeing as how the dwarves haven’t brought it up themselves) it would be rude (via @willowcrowned)
My partner, reading this over my shoulder: “It never ceases to amaze me when Tolkein fans write meta that goes off in really bizarre directions”
Me: “These books are 70 years old, everything normal to say about them has been said; if you’re gonna say anything new about it, it’s gonna have to be weird”
My for you page thinks I clearly must know all about some fool who needed a bioluminescent dark elf and rejected the baby only to stumble into the one foe which needed that specific bioluminescent elf. And then I also get some extra fascinating tidbit about dwarfs actually being a part of the fungi family.
Maybe it's about time I actually read that book (watch the movie?) holy shit bioluminescence!
Luo Binghe is about 14. His mother is bedbound, too sick to work, and they're too poor to get her medicine, so he's taken to- reluctantly- petty theft.
In the original plot, he'd end up stealing from someone working for Shen Qingqiu and get himself in some serious trouble for it; something that would eventually lead to Binghe somehow rising from the ashes to become the biggest crime boss in the city, country, and eventually the world.
In this timeline, he tries to pickpocket a passing stranger with glasses during a rain storm, but as he pretends to trip onto him, he sees the man's eyes go wide. Suddenly things aren't going to plan at all. The man tries to catch him, and instinctively Binghe tries to correct himself, but Binghe's momentum ends up overtaking them both and they fall onto the wet sidewalk. The man's umbrella falls off somewhere to the side.
There's groaning under him as the man tries to sit up, and then Binghe proceeds to get fussed over. He's barely managed to sit up himself before the man (introducing himself as Shen Yuan) starts patting him down and checking him over.
"You're alright? No scrapes?"
"M-Mm."
This is not how it usual goes for him. If Binghe messed up and/or missed the target, his victims tended to either scoff at him on the ground or scold him viciously. No one has ever checked him over like this before...
Shen Yuan helps him stand and, the next thing he knows, Binghe is being dragged into the nearest restaurant and sat down for an apology meal, because somehow this man- Shen Yuan- got it into his head that the whole thing was somehow his fault.
Binghe gets to eat as much as he wants.
Binghe gets to take food home. A whole meal.
Shen Yuan gives him extra cash for the trouble, as if this wasn't enough.
Binghe- Binghe-
He feels so Guilty.
The poor boy ends up bursting into tears, pleadingly pushing the cash back at the man, explaining that it was all actually his fault and that he was a pickpocket. The nice man- Shen Yuan-
Knows?
He still insists on Binghe taking the cash. He-...He gives Binghe his phone number and says to call him if he gets into trouble.
He gives him his umbrella and tells him to get home safe.
. . .
Shen Qingqiu, some distance away, takes off his glasses and hooks them onto his shirt. He lets out a great big sigh. Step one: Hug the Protagonist Golden Thighs has been completed!!
More thoughts on wife SY AU (Links here, here and here) only where it takes Bingge a bit longer to put 2 and 2 together.
Bingge shows up in North to find wife he divorced who was apparently running everything and decides to re-woo and apologize.
SY is just standing there utterly unimpressed as Bingge tries all his tricks and speeches he's used before (most Bingge probably doesn't realize he's reused he's done this hundreds of times) but SY knows all of them.
SQH is watching the man dig his own grave and just like 'Good god please stop talking flee while you can'
Only for SY to verbal tear him down, oh SY loves LBH. favorite character but in practice as a wife he is a bad husband and also bad at ruling if he can't fuck or fight something. Full peerless cucumber mixed with disappointed teacher mode is turned on Bingge.
SQH is hiding watching from behind his hands. MBJ is eating melon seeds and enjoying every moment.
Like the that scene in swan lake
LBH: *basic wooing protagonist speech that has worked 400+ times)
SY: ok...what else?
LBH:...what else is there?
SY being angry that speech is so fucking generic nothing about personality or likes or anything! Also fuck you for not noticing any thing i've done until I stopped run your own kingdom goddamn it!
Bingge gets kinda stun locked and is just like '...that's not usually how this works I... why do I want to cry?...why did i kind of like that????'
Just Bingge constantly trying all his normal tricks nothing is working he is tearing his hair out because the more time he's around the more he actually likes SY.
Then he sees moments of SY being kind (because for as big as a hater SY is, they are also the biggest Binghe defender and apologist... much to their own despair)
Luo Binghe, bruised, hungry and exhausted after a long day at his new peak, holds his mother's faux jade guanyin and remembers.
He remembers how she told him, in the darkest times, he must think of the future and of hope. Of tiny ideas, beings (and she gazed upon him at that), with so much potential if only you would reach out and hold on and refuse to let go.
Or, how he interpreted it - grasp, bite down, and refuse to let go. With the desperation of a starving beast, a sinner reaching for unlikely salvation, a believer beseeching his god for one last leading light.
Years later, he thinks of the same. Guanyin lost, standing in a golden palace he cannot call home, he looks upon his sleeping master not dead can't be dead he will not allow it and thinks of his mother's words in this different context.
Shizun, you gave me a little heart to love, to cherish, to take care of, to feast upon in the darkest times. A little hope. A shining star. And the selfish creature that I am, ever insatiable, ever devouring, ever wrathfully possessive, will never ever let it go.
And I will love it, and care for it and give it my all, my legacy, my godless devotion. And I will never ever let it go.
Ended up combining my SY advisor (link) and SY PIDW wife (link) AU's
Where SY is one og Bingge's wives and basically running everything trying to take burden off Bingge. Not that's he's ever noticed. He is full on running the realms while LBH is away. People have to stop themselves slipping up and calling SY emperor/empress.
Bingge doesn't notice and SY is just overlooked constantly he tries not to let it bother him, it's fine he's able to fix for things for Bingge he's busy... it's been years and he hasn't even tried to see him once or notice but it's fine. Really it's fine he's fine.
So what if he's the one running the country, and the one who sits by Bingge's bedside when he does get injured (Only he had to leave for 1 moment to sort out a court issue and in that time Bingge woke up alone and called for one of his other wives to fix the issue because of course he was affected by a papapa plot plant) and so what if when Bingge does walk past him he doesn't even look at him. It's fine, SY is fine...
Only then the Bingmei Vs Bingge extra happens. Bingge is laser focused on getting a kind shizun as his empress...
So to clear harem he starts divorcing wives, including SY.
SY just shattered and it's. OK IT'S NOT FINE HE'S UPSET AND PISSED AND FUCK THIS SHIT.
SY leaves and goes back to wherever the wives family is.
... it doesn't take a week for everything to go to shit.
Advisors and nobles and every member of palace staff is freaking out everything's broken.
Bingge is pulled out of his Shziun focus tasks only to find everything almost on fire and what is happening? why isn't this stuff done? wait he's meant to do this? He's never done this? He doesn't know how to do this?
Cue him having to run realms and figure out how this has just broken whose been doing this before? How much of his job have they been doing? What do you mean it was a wife?
He goes to find wife and finds very upset and unhappy SY who is not coming back and refuses a proposal. Bingge having to woo him and slowly realizing he did have a kind Shziun.
