Personal Quanzhi Gaoshou Fic Rec List
This is Part Three. To be honest, I found a considerable number of stories Marked for Later in my ao3 history that I had nearly forgotten about—thus this list was hurriedly put together. Part One and Part Two were much more well-planned and intentional. Part Four pretty much has the same methodology.
1. Speak of the Devil
With the opening of the tenth server, Lord Grim appears in the game with all the ability and experiences of the unseen God of Glory. He has the skill, he knows all the pros, he can give his side of every story anyone’s ever told about him, so—why are all the pros so sure he doesn’t exist?
2. Vivification
An object that carries sentiment carries a spirit. A spirit with all the sentience necessary to hold its own emotions and opinions. Ye Xiu leaves Excellent Era the night before the tenth anniversary of Glory’s launch—the tenth anniversary of the day One Autumn Leaf was given a name that quickly gained a life of its own.
3. A Time Without Glory
Sun Xiang wakes up in the past. Things go differently.
4. This Father Means Business
Wei Chen takes his self-given ‘this father’ title seriously, and he’s been working on himself since leaving all his kids like that was, well, shitty. It’s still a work in progress, but for all that reaching back out to any of them is still tied up with his own shame, grief, and self-loathing, Wei Chen can’t just sit at home after watching the utter travesty that was Season 5.
5. Destiny's Favorite Child
Someone who always wins, when they don’t have the skill or temperament for it—what would it take? How many times, to get it right? Could that ever be called a blessing?
6. Customer Support, Tenth Server, Glory v.1.10.8475463
A collection of tickets submitted to Glory Customer Support, Tenth Server. Because a completely bug-free game is unrealistic.
7. Unqualified Assistance
No one has ever doubted the identity of the “team reporter’s assistant” following Excellent Era around to their games, but he sure takes slacking to a new level. How does he get so many exclusive interviews and never publish anything?! Ye Xiu would like to protest that he has, in fact, listened to their advice and published many articles. They’re just all Glory guides.
8. An Interlude Between Past and Future
Ye Xiu may have retired from the Pro League, but that doesn't mean he's completely let go of Glory. Apart from his active role in cultivating the China Glory Team, sightings of him in Hangzhou have become dime-a-dozen. In fact, now that he's finally an "ordinary citizen", he seems to be making up for all his years as a mysterious recluse of a celebrity.
9. Never A Single-Player Game
"What's your damn problem with me?" Tang Hao bites out, finally snapping after almost a week of Fang Rui ignoring him like the plague. "What's my problem with you, huh?" Fang Rui asks, almost blithe. "Why don't you take a close look at the account that you play on, then come back and ask that again."
10. Consider the Counterfactual
“That person from Tiny Herb is here to negotiate some sort of transaction. It’s probably… about Qiu Fei’s transfer?” No one buys Team Excellent Era. Qiu Fei goes to Tiny Herb.
11. Breathe
There will come a time where you see your past self in someone else. At that time, it will fall to you on whether you are willing to guide them to a better future, or let the cycle continue. No matter what, it is your choice, and you should follow your heart on it.
12. Spinning Wheel
Four beds Su Mucheng slept in during her last year at Excellent Era.
13. Suspect
“When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” - Arthur Conan Doyle
14. The Pitfalls of Believing Gossip
Everyone who meets Ye Qiu past 15 years old starts off thinking he still has an imaginary friend. Then they find out he used to always have his twin brother with him. Unfortunately, no one has enough courage to actually ask Ye Qiu about it.
15. 5 Members of Ye Xiu’s Mysterious Family that Team China Meet in Zurich (+1 Not Exactly Mysterious Person)
In the ten years of the Glory Pro Alliance, no one has ever even heard anything about Ye Xiu's family, much less meet any of them. For some reason though, they all seem to crawl out of the woodwork in Zurich.
16. Penguin Day Out
Ye Xiu’s day out with his niece takes a surprise turn.
17. no one knows what's happening (spoiler: zhouye is canon.)
“Hey,” Huang Shaotian lowered his voice in a stage whisper, “Don’t you think Ye Xiu and Zhou Zekai have been awfully chummy lately?”
18. [zhou zekai's face of innocence.jpg]
In which Zhang Xinjie gets a Berserker, Wang Jiexi gets a headache, and Ye Xiu gets fifty thousand yuan. Also, Zhou Zekai is the Unrivaled Super Hottie.
19. glory returns [once again]
As part of the preparations for World's, Ye Xiu sets up a training match between Team China and Team Happy.
20. measure your life in love
All the other pros often asked Su Mucheng why she’d never tried to get Ye Xiu to buy a phone. Su Mucheng had always just responded by smiling sweetly and saying some variation of “I don’t use my powers for evil”, and generally that was enough to make people back away.
21. all along in plain sight
"First of all, we're not even friends," Xu Boyuan said. "He just shows up and torments me sometimes." “He shows up and torments you with free guides through a hundred-player dungeon,” Bound Boat said flatly. "Where do I sign up for this kind of torment?"
22. write on the wall
His first thirty or so minutes at Happy Internet Café, Fang Rui felt like an explorer in foreign land, observing the customs of a strange people.
23. blood is thicker than water
The Ye twins were allergic to talking about their honest emotions, but somehow they still brought out the best in each other anyway.
24. unrestrained summer fun
You can lead the pro player to summer camp, but you can’t make him stop swearing in front of the cameras.
Quanzhi Gaoshou 3 when? The King's Avatar Season 2 when?
