Tfw you're stuck in a fatal timeloop with your worst enemy who happens to know you better than yourself

@pearlescentime 's Janka series Poison Garden got me in such a chokehold that I HAD to draw fanart of it before I even drew any other Gachiakuta stuff! Highly reccommend

[esssvnn]

drew something about that janka time loop fic series ( https://archiveofourown.org/series/5133361 ) by @pearlescentime

Spoilery art ahead, so I recommend checking the fics first to get the authentic gut punches, etc.

Even the feared Peak Lord of Qing Jing cannot resist the siren's cries

JiuYuan Week Day 6: Siren

Day 4 of @jiuyuanweek !!! Clothes and our lovingly possessive a-jiu

[confuzing]

Liu Qingge, brand new Peak Lord, finds a weird rock and decides to take it to the upcoming Peak Lord meeting.

The rock, actually a crystalized chunk of qi, explodes during the meeting. This lets out a shockwave of energy that breaks a number of small artifacts in the room and riles up everyone's swords.

But it sends Shen Qingqiu into a frenzy. He digs through his robes before pulling out a strange glowing blue crystal - not dissimilar to the one that just exploded- while muttering to himself that he "felt it crack"

There does appear to be a presumably new hairline fracture in the crystal.

Yue Qingyuan is the first to formulate a question.

"Is that-?"

"What," Shen Qingqiu snaps back. "Did you think I just left him somewhere? I don't abandon my family Qi-ge."

He starts pouring more qi into the blue crystal and ignores Yue Qingyuan's attempts to help. Neither of them are paying any attention to the other Peak Lords.

There's a bright flash of light and when it clears there's a little boy- scrawny and underfed with dirty scraggly hair- standing there. He's a tiny little thing, age unknown but he stares at them in clear shock and confusion. His big dark eyes are clearly afraid.

Yue Qingyuan and Shen Qingqiu are both on their knees, regarding the little boy with shock.

"Gege." Shen Qingqiu says, voice breaking.

The boy and the man stare at each other for a long time.

"Oh," the little boy says at last. " When did Didi get so big??"

He hugs Shen Qingqiu, who lets out what sounds like a watery sob and then the Sect Leader ushers everyone else out of the room.

He gives them only the most basic information: Twenty years ago when they were only nine there was an accident and Shen Yuan, the older Shen Twin was trapped inside the crystal they just saw. Please provide their fellow Peak Lord privacy at this time. (He's getting an hour tops, and no time at all from Qi-ge.)

(The old man everyone said was a cultivator had died, and the three of them had snuck in to his house to find things to sell- or just loose money.

Shen Jiu had actually triggered the strange device, but then Shen Yuan pushed him out of the way as it went off.)

"I hate this," Gege said that night as they lay together in bed.

It had been a long day of dodging the other Peak Lords and fighting Yue Qingyuan off and getting his tiny Gege bathed and fed and dressed appropriately.

"The bed?" Shen Jiu asked, knowing that wasn't it.

"No this is nice." Gege said spreading out like a starfish. "But we used to be the same and now we're not. I don't like that."

"We're still the same," Shen Jiu countered. "Gege is just behind. He'll catch up."

Gege smiled and hugged him.

"What else is bothering you?" he asked. He knew his brother, his twin. He knew Gege never worried about just one thing.

"You're mad at Qi-ge," Gege said.

Shen Jiu took a deep breath. "I am."

"Should I be mad at him too?"

His immediate thought was no... Qi-ge wouldn't hurt Gege...

But hadn't he thought Qi-ge wouldn't hurt him?

"Mmm," Gege hummed. He was watching Shen Jiu's face. "I think I will be mad at him. You'll have to tell me why I'm mad at him later...I don't like THAT either."

"What?" Shen Jiu asked. He ran his fingers through Gege's fine hair. He was so small. He knew logically he had been that small once but it... Seemed so far away. Like a dream.

"We were supposed to always be together," Gege said. "But Didi had to do a bunch of stuff by himself. I was supposed to be there with him."

The thought of Gege in the Qiu household made him want to throw up. Gege had always taken the fall for him when they were little if Qi-ge couldn't. Gege was even worse at holding his tongue than he was. Qiu Jianluo would have hated him even more than he had hated Shen Jiu.

"No," he said immediately, hugging his twin close. "No it's better like this."

Gege's little hands wiped his cheeks. "Doubt," he said simply. He used to say that when Qi-ge tried to lie to them because he was so bad at it.

Then he started humming.

Oh.

Oh he'd forgotten.

When they couldn't sleep or weren't feeling well or when anything was harder than usual Gege used to hum this little song...

Qi-ge never learned it and after what had happened to his brother Shen Jiu could never bring himself to sing it himself... And somehow he'd forgotten it. Their song. That only the two of them knew.

"I'm so sorry Gege," he whispered. "Don't worry, I'll keep you safe now."

"Mmm," Gege said. "I'll have to keep Didi safe too. Since apparently no one else is."

in my heart of hearts wuxian is an absolute SUCKER for meaningless teen gossip and absolutely 100% is like "oh nooo i guess we'll have to split up and look for clueees" purely so him + lwj can gather gossip from both sides of the teens drama. most of the drama hes heard recently is either work related or a part of some traumatic personal incident, he yearns for meaningless "well jin ling called me an asshole so now hes not coming to my birthday party :/" nonsense
