(me indulging in my urge to write size difference yaoi)
An au in which Shen Yuan is a gorgon-type creature
(lower body of a snake, wings, snake hair that type. Well in my au their hair is normal hair that turns into snakes when they're feeling strong emotions.)
Anyways so he's huge and he mainly frequents the abyss except for transmigration reasons he sort of somehow ends up in the human realm. He wakes up in some sort of church and finds out that his identity is that of the child of an infamous demonic-gorgon that was banished to the abyss after terrorising humans and amassing a fuckton of followers in a cult-like manner. It was a scrapped side plot of PIDW, dropped in favor of a snake wife papapa scene.
Anyways so his mom(?) dad(?) snake parent(?) kinda gave birth and dipped, so Shen Yuan isn't really known by anyone in the abyss (which is good because his parent had quite a few enemies. I guess leaving was their way of protecting him?) so nobody really cares when he suddenly disappears. (summoned to the human realm by some ancient technique passed down the generations of worshippers.)
Luckily he looks really similar to his parent so when the people that summon him pull out the ancient paintings of SY's parent to compare it to him it matches up almost exactly—albeit the painting being obviously more mature—and they take Shen Yuan in as their little Godling. Which is weird but also a win for SY because not only is he not getting hunted down, he's sheltered, given permanent residency, and he has an unshakable status! For someone who's just transmigrated into the body of a demon-child (he's actually a demonic teen so think like 16-17) it's a definite win for him!
Anyways so his inherited cult-village just so happens to be the one that houses Luo Binghe—or well, the washerwoman that saves him. Considering the fact that nobody has heard of a Luo Binghe Shen Yuan assumes that he hasn't been born yet, and lightbulb moment, he decides that he'll raise the protagonist this time! He's a demon so he can probably help Luo Binghe embrace his demon side and spare the poor boy the suffering that Shen Qinqiu'll inflict on him.
He's just not sure how behind he is in the plot. That is until he meets THE TLJ. He looked extremely similar to all of the merchandise of Luo Binghe, except instead of the narrowed eyes filled with seductive arrogance and the bitterness of a boy wronged by the world, his eyes carried this sense of playful domesticity, a warm thing that basked in the warmth of infatuation.
Tianlang-Jun and a woman who Shen Yuan could only assume was Luo Binghe's mom judging by the resemblance of her and the illustrations of white lotus Luo Binghe that Shen Yuan recalled. The couple seemed to be just passing through, however upon entry to the village both seemed to know what Shen Yuan was and instead took it upon themselves to visit the church.
Tianlang-Jun seemed to recognize Shen Yuan—or well, at least he seemed to recognize who his parent was. He treated Shen Yuan like an old friend—what else could Shen Yuan do but return the hospitality, nevermind his internal fanboying about this man that reminded him of the stallion protagonist he'd followed throughout the years, and this refreshing side that he'd never seen Luo Binghe display made him quite friendly. (He knows they're not the same person but he sees LBH in TLJ and thus his fanboying is transferred guh)
They were... much more easy to get along with than SY had initially assumed. Tianlang-Jun was much more easygoing, much more playful than Shen Yuan expected from the father of Luo Binghe. Su Xiyan, a name he'd learned as the couple interacted with him, was much more down to earth. She still had that air of wild reckless youth, the type of feeling you had when you were doing something you knew you weren't supposed to be doing but you didn't care.
Surprisingly Shen Yuan found that rather than the parents of the protagonist, he was more interested in the half-snake child that'd tagged along with them. He was small and Shen Yuan assumed he was younger than him. Shen Yuan hadn't seen another snake demon before, and he found himself intrigued with this small child. (Imagine his surprise at finding out that not only is ZZL the same age as him, but he's slightly also older than him by a few months.)
FINALLY POSTING THIS, I wanted 2 write an actual ending but I got a little tired of struggling w/ this lolol
