"...Shidi? Shidi, can you hear me?"

Shen Qingqiu opened his eyes and blinked up at the white canopy. It was pretty, but he'd found out later that it was for practical purposes--the gauzy canopy and curtains kept flying insects away.

Yue Qingyuan was in a chair on his left. Shen Qingqiu had a brief, intense memory of the last time he’d seen him, on Maigu Ridge, barely a whisper of qi left. He reflexively reached for the fan on his pillow, opening it and hiding his face in one smooth, practiced motion.

"Shidi?" Yue Qingyuan's voice was worried, now.

Shen Qingqiu peered at him over the top of his fan. "...Sect Leader."

Is Cloud or Sephiroth the farmer? Or are they both villagers? Because if anyone needs to leave their soulless corporate job it’s Sephiroth, but I could also see Cloud slowly repairing the community center.

Cloud’s the farmer.  He takes over it after his mom dies.  In this AU the town is still Nibelheim and he’s still an outsider, but he never dreams of becoming a SOLDIER.  Instead he just lives in his little bubble of trying to help his mom out, until the farm is eventually his.

Sephiroth meanwhile follows Crisis Core canon up until his breakdown in Nibelheim whereupon he winds up on Cloud’s farm, his breakdown interrupted and stubbornly refuses to leave.

There can be a problem when a Windows 10 PC starts up with a USB device (mouse, keyboard, router) plugged in. It’s “looking” in that drive first for the operating system, and gets stuck. Pulling them all out before/ while rebooting will help. Is that your issue?

Hilariously, that’s what I want it to do BUT IT WON’T.

Shen Qingqiu's eyes skimmed over the assembled Peak Lords. Almost everyone was in attendance, though they'd left their disciples behind. Wei Qingwei, who looked like he was already wishing to be back on his peak. The ascetic Gao Qinggao of Ku Xing Peak, who despite appearances was actually enjoying that glass of water. Brewing master Ruan Qingruan, whose laughing monk appearance belied a very sharp analytical mind. Qi Qingqi, the oldest of the peak masters, both in years and experience outside the sect. She'd been a junior disciple sister of the previous peak master, and traveled widely before returning to teach. Rumors about her personal history ranged from pirate queen to empress-consort. Shen Qingqiu had 200 spirit stones on "both." Duan Qingze, diffident around humans but fearlessly confident with even the fiercest spirit animals. Feng shui master Lin Qingshui--blind, but that didn't seem to slow him down any. Liu Qingge, as neutral as a stone wall. And of course Shang Qinghua, for whom Shen Qingqiu had plans.

The only one missing was the artifact-refining Peak Lord, who was in closed cultivation. It was unusual for so many peak masters to make the meeting, but the agenda was perfectly ordinary.

Yue Qingyuan sat forward. "Do you remember how we met, shidi?"

Shen Qingqiu frowned slightly. "I've always known you. You're my first memory."

Yue Qingyuan sat back abruptly.

Mu Qingfang stepped into the breach. "If this shidi may examine Shen-shixiong?"

Shen Qingqiu extended his wrist. "I'll be troubling Mu-shidi."

As he examined Shen Qingqiu’s pulse, Mu Qingfang's expression went from polite professionalism to surprised professionalism. Yue Qingyuan tensed as Mu Qingfang's soft, wispy eyebrows twitched up.

"Be still." Shen Qingqiu briefly touched his head, perfunctorily checking his meridians. "You've been here for two years without improvement. Indeed, you seem to have gotten worse."

Luo Binghe gasped, with tears in his voice. "This disciple has been cultivating every day, and has been working so hard, please don't throw me out--"

"Enough," Shen Qingqiu snapped. "This teacher has never given up on a student. Don't presume you will be the first. You'll become a competent cultivator even if it kills you." He loftily ignored Luo Binghe's suddenly worried look. "Take this," Shen Qingqiu handed him a bottle of bruise ointment. "This is a topical medication." He sighed. "That means you put it on your skin. Don't drink it." He stepped away. "Use that, and clean yourself up. Then return here with your current cultivation manual. Don't dawdle."

"Yes, Shizun!"

Shen Qingqiu was sweeping out of his meeting with the Hallmasters when he saw Luo Binghe carrying water. "What on earth are you doing. You're supposed to be at music lessons."

Luo Binghe startled badly and dropped a bucket, slopping water over his feet. "This disciple doesn't have a qin, so he gets extra chores instead."

Shen Qingqiu frowned at him. "If you don't have an instrument, then you need basic lessons. Come along." Without waiting for a response, Shen Qingqiu grabbed him by the back of the collar and dragged him to the juniors' music pavilion. Luo Binghe stumbled to keep up, feet barely touching the ground. The second bucket was lost along the way.
