Au where Shen Jiu is actually a plant baby and his parent had no idea he was ever created

Yue Qi finds little baby Shen Jiu and like no one can tell he's a plant baby it's not really something people can tell without going through cultivation techniques

So Shen Jiu's father yeah? It's Shen Yuan, a peak lord of Cang Qiong Mountian Sect, of the beast peak to be exact. Shen Yuan had absolutely no idea that he had at one point bled on a child bearing flower and made a child.

So imagine what would happen when Yue Qi gets to the sect. And he sees Shen Yuan.

Imagine Yue Qi absolutely hating him, because this is the man that abandoned his son for the wolves. But Yue Qi keeps being denied a sword and permission to leave the mountian. And he needs to get Shen Jiu out. So he goes to the beast peak and seeks out its lord.

Yue Qi finds Shen Yuan, and tells him he knows he abandoned his son once but to please, rescue his friend- To please help the son he abandoned, just once.

And Shen Yuan is so confused. Like, kiddo? I don't have a son?

But Yue Qi argues back that Shen Jiu looks just like Shen Yuan, down to every detail. And he's so sopping wet pathetic that Shen Yuan can't help but want to help this kid and his friend, so he agrees and swoops Yue Qi up in his arms onto his sword to fly off and use him as his compass.

Yue Qi is incredibly startled, being held kind of like a bewildered cat gets held by a small child, legs dangling "Can you put me down on the sword?" "And risk you falling off and your Shizun killing me? Not a chance, kiddo. Uppies."

They get to Qiu manor, and Qiu Jianluo is so incredibly fascinated by the man at his door that looks like his favorite toy. And even more so when he realizes he's a cultivator, so he brings him inside. Not because he's stupid, no. Because if this man is Xiao-Jiu's father, then he'd clearly sold him into slavery. Maybe he'd even like to see how well behaved a slave the brat became.

So Shen Jiu is brought out to serve tea, and he sees Yue Qi first, white as a sheet and terrified next to Shen Yuan. Then his gaze turns to Shen Yuan, and he drops the tray he'd been holding. Because it's like looking into a more mature reflection. He feels like his heart is going to stop.

And Qiu Jianluo makes a mistake. He decides he can punish Shen Jiu for breaking the tea set here, in front of Shen Yuan. He gets as far as getting his hand on his whip when Shen Yuan speaks.

"... I have a son.. You. Have my son. Why is my son a slave." Shen Yuan demands, his gaze turning both cold as frost, and hot with rage as he rises up and rests his hand on the hilt of his blade.

Qiu Jianluo doesn't live to see the next day. According to Shen Yuan, he was possessed and tried to kill him and his shijie's disciple. Yue Qi echos the same story if asked.

Shen Jiu is astounded- Qi-ge came back! He really came back-! He'd been giving up hope, and now he's here!

And.. His father... Is also here? He has one of those? His father just killed that monster unprovoked. His father was talking to him kindly, and offering him spare robes, and a meal, and-

"A home-? You- You want me to go to your home with you?"

"Of course I do-! I just found out I have a son, I missed enough of your life already yeah?" And it takes a bit more convincing than that but honestly Qi-ge is also at the sect so he can probably see what kind of man his father is... Though he's distrustful.

Eventually they have a kind of awkward father son thing going, and Shen Jiu goes to the official disciple selections, and is kidnapped by the Qing Jing peak lord. Shen Yuan is displeased by this, but his son seems intrigued so... Fine, fine, go go have fun.

And then Shen Jiu makes head disciple and gets his name

Whoops, wrong parent.

He sure did

What if the astrophages were truly a matter of survival? What if the thing they are trying to eat is you, because you are the source of food? @lairongy has a delightful Moon!Simon design that kind of spiraled into me making Star!Simon. I have not blinked in 4h. Show them some love and if you wanna read some nonsensical 1 am spitballing on this AU, mind the cut

So this is not an AU for realism, duh, but I figured it'd be fun to turn the astrophages into something that can affect a (star) person like a parasite. Perhaps you can connect it back to the eel as a way it feeds, maybe it's like a whale with krill; the astrophage breed and then it swoops em up. Maybe the astrophage are more part of it, a far reaching lure

Now how do star people work? Are there more? Shhhht, no one knows, not me and certainly not the boys. Though Grace is immensely interested in it and also massively relieved Simon does not actually outwardly run as hot as a star. If he reigns himself in, touching him is like sticking your hand into the old people hot tub, so bareable enough

They'd meet early in this AU, before Tau Ceti, maybe even before Rocky meets Grace. Would certainly make Grace way more chill about meeting a rock spider in space, that's almost normal after a glowing guy with puppy eyes somehow found his way into his spaceship. In space. How did he bypass the locks?? Without setting off any alarms??

(It'd be very funny to me if Rocky just thinks Simon a normal human because he can't see him literally glowing. It's even funnier to me if Grace tries to convince him otherwise and loses his mind trying)

And then cue the angst potential as the astrophage affect Simon more and more, light dimming, his ever so slightly hot skin cooling to almost human levels. Them finding a solution becomes not only a mission to save two worlds, but also their friend. And once they succeed Simon is gonna be so invested in the Taumoeba even though he doesn't get biology at all. These little mfs are his besties, his version of domesticating cats for pest control

May or may not actually develop this AU more properly, but thanks for coming to my TED talk <3 keep making art, because you can!!

Summary: Walker is absolutely head over heels in love with you and he makes sure you know that.

Warnings: None, just fluff and kissing xx

Authors note: Hi! I actually had so much fun writing this and it's such a cute idea! I changed it a lil just for it to fit my au more, but it's still basically the same xx. I see all your requests and I'll try my best to write the most of them 🫶🏻 I hope everyone likes this since it's my first "real" fic here, I know it's kinda short but I felt it didn't need to be any longer.

You were sitting on your bed, legs crossed and your hair was styled in a very messy braid that you really didn’t have the energy to redo.

Your gaze was focused on the empty page infront of you. Throwing a quick glance at the clock hanging on your wall.

Twenty minutes left until deadline.

Walker came through the door, straight from the shower. His hair was still wet and he was wearing grey sweatpants and a basic white t-shirt.

You sighed and put your face in your hands in absolute defeat. The essay was supposed to be done in twenty minutes and you didn’t even have a title.

Walker watched, — "What’s wrong?" He asked and sat down on the bed beside you, the mattress dipping slightly with his weight.

You tried to pull yourself together, — "Nothing, i'm just tired" you exclaimed. It wasn’t true, you had been studying all day for an upcoming test and completely forgotten about the big essay you were supposed to write about world war ||

But you didn’t know how to tell him, you loved him so much and he never made you feel bad about anything. But this? Your body just shut down, maybe because it was hard to admit it, even for yourself.

You actually forgot.

He frowned and moved closer to you, — "Something is wrong, I can tell, you only do that thing with your face in your hands when you're upset" He stated and you didn’t know what to say.

There was a stiff silence, just for a moment, you opened your mouth to speak, only to close it again. — "I don’t, everything is fine, you're just making things up" you tried to tell him, but he wouldn’t stop.

He shook his head, — "No, every time you're upset, every single time. You do that. Every single time" He kissed you on the top of your head before continuing, his eyes locked on the screen. "What are you doing? School?"

You sighed, nodded, but you didn’t say anything.

He shifted, just a little bit, and somehow the feeling of him close to you and the muffling sounds of the covers and blankets moving around calmed you. — "Okay so, what is this then? An essay? When is it due?" He kept asking questions, he didn't push you to answer them, he just asked. In this calm and collected voice.

A half smile creeped upon your lips. — "I know you're trying to help, but it's due in like fifteen minutes. I completely forgot to write it"

He nodded, — "How many words is it supposed to be?" He asked, his voice dropping a little.

You threw your head back against the headboard with a sigh, — "It’s actually not that bad, we are just supposed to summarize world war || in 700 words. But I've got less than twenty minutes" you spoke, and once again you did that thing. You put your face in your hands, not knowing what to do with yourself.

Walker nodded and leaned closer to the laptop, pulling you towards him with his right hand. — "I'll help you, and afterwards we'll do whatever, deal?"

— "Mhm, deal." You responded and kissed him on the lips. His hands sneaked in under your sweater tracing lacy lines along your skin, but you had to pull away. "As much as I love you, we have to finish this essay"

He sighed and gave you one last kiss before focusing completely on the essay.

Your hands made a smacking sound as you high fived. — "We're so gonna get an A together" Walker said, closing the laptop and moving it to an empty spot at the floor to make space.

You laid down on the bed, the half smile was now whole. — "Mhm.. i'm doubtful, we spent less than fifteen minutes on that" you spoke, it was true but your tone was playful.

Walker laughed and leaned over you, pressing a lingering kiss to your forehead. — "But you're happy, right?"

You frowned, — "What gave it away?" A giggle escaped your mouth and Walker kissed you again. — "Everything, you're literally glowing y/n" he insisted.

You shook your head in protest, but you could feel the blush spreading across your cheeks. — "You're a hopeless romantic Walker Scobell" you laughed as you grabbed his face to kiss him again.

He pulled away, — "It’s not some useless pick up line I saw on instagram, I mean it. Whenever you're happy you have this glow around you, almost like you're actually glowing. I don't even know how to explain it, it's so weird."

You scrunched your nose slightly, it was something you did when someone said something you didn’t quite believe. — "Walker you're just saying that because you love me, no one actually thinks that" you added and the room went quiet for a moment, only the ticking sound of that annoying clock was heard.

Walker sighed, — "No I mean it y/n, you don't understand how amazing you are." He begun as he ran a hand through his blonde curls. "I love every single thing about you, like when you scrunch your nose when you don't believe what i'm saying, or when you play with your rings whenever your nervous. I notice it and I love you for it, it's what makes you, you.

You laughed, scrunched your nose, you didn’t believe him. He noticed and sighed again, — "You're literally doing it right now!" He exclaimed and threw his hands in the air.

Your jaw dropped, — "What?! I'm not doing anything?"

He stood up, — "Omg yes you are! The nose scrunch thing, you don't believe what i'm saying but please! Why would I lie about it that's just ridiculous!"

You shook your head, — "Please Walker, this is getting weird" you spoke, but it wasn't, he was being sweet and you couldn't take compliments.

He sat down on the bed again, — "Look, you don't have to believe me, but i'm not the only one who likes you." He removed the hair that was sticking out from your braid out of your face. "You have millions of fans who think you're an amazing actress" he added.

He received a small eye roll from you, — "Why are you doing this? It's not like I was feeling low and needed to start believing in myself again or something" you spoke, but you couldn't help but smile.

He shrugged, — "I don’t know, maybe you needed to hear it" you shook your head and laughed. — "Okay but admit that you're just being a little weird" you exclaimed and pulled him towards you in a fierce kiss.

I had a dumb little au idea where Grace and Simon met before grace got sent on the hail mary, essentially the au is just a retelling of Simon's story in iron lung but in the phm world, and if they were in max yearning mode, because Simon would be going after Grace in a highly underprepared spacecraft and would be navigating trying to find him while Grace doesn't remember him bc of his amnesia. Smirks.

But I adore the iron lung story sm so honestly this is just for fun, and i def wanna do one where grace is in iron lung's world too :D
