This started out as a reply to a mutual's post, but at this point I need to consolidate it into an actual post. Anyone can use this AU idea for anything they want, just tag me pls! I want to see your beautiful big-brained ideas!

BloodyMary Zombie Apocalypse AU
So, starting with Simon. There are three scenarios that I could imagine.
Grace & Simon meet post-inciting incident of apocalypsedom, and decide to travel together. They really start bonding, and Simon develops a full-fledged crush after Grace something something pulled a baddie by being neurodivergent. However... Ryland Grace proceeds to Not Be Graceful, Sniffing-Ammonia-Directly style, gets infected, and Simon + his big fat crush never got to confess to him. So Simon feeds him literally abything but brains to see what will keep Grace satisfied. Dark chocolate, maybe, it's good for your brain. It works for the most part, and Grace is pretty smart for a zombie. Simon gets him one of those kids' leash backpacks and a soundboard, and boom they're off to find a cure.
Grace & Simon were roommates before the apocalypse. This helps with solidifying why Simon would keep zombie Grace alive- he has sentimental value. Simon has had a crush on Grace for a while, but only really accepted that once that they were relying on each other for survival. Since the literal apocalypse just started, he doesn't think it's the best time to confess. He's pretty busy keeping Grace and himself alive. Grace proceeds to no longer be alive.
Simon leaves the prison after the apocalypse starts, and tries to get as far away from the prison gangs that have formed as possible. He comes across a weird zombie rifling around in a trash can, and the zombie is weirdly intelligent and not brain-hungry. He seems to have somewhere to be, actually, and considering that the other zombies avoid him for some reason, Simon decides to follow Grace. He quickly realizes that Ryland Grace is Still Not Graceful, and so the soundboard and backpack leash are inevitable.
Now, for Grace in each of these.
Grace, out of state for a science convention or smthn, is in his hotel room when the tv announces that the world is going to hell. His bestie (human)Rocky is an engineer with a Bad As Hell spouse named Adrian, who is an immunologist. Grace, a microbiologist, figures that his best bet is to get back to Cali & try to find a solution w/Adrian. Along the way, he runs into an ex-convict named Simon. Simon either got out of prison a while ago, or just recently (because apocalypse). Either way, he *definitely* isn't telling Grace about the whole convict thing. They're both going in the same direction, Grace to Rocky and Simon to the sea (because he's smart and knows zombie can't swim). Along the way, they bond! Originally Simon really just wanted himself to live, but now he wants Grace to as well! Possibly... together.... in a homey little bunker with a pet dog and a pet cat and lots of nature documentaries.... and then Grace isn't alive anymore and Simon crashes tf out. Before realizing that maybe, just maybe, Ryland has retained some of his humanity. Soundboard and leash backpack are equipped, the ocean is forgotten, and they're off to find Rocky and Adrian!
Grace, too, has a big fat crush on his roommate Simon, but knows that Simon has had a pretty messed up life so far, and is waiting for Simon to initiate anything. Then the apocalyse happens, and wow Simon is really good at keeping them alive, and whoops there goes Grace's foot right into a zombie mouth. Shucks. Simon's new goal is to get Grace turned back, and to do that he has to go find his bestie Adrian and their immunology doctorate. And their engineer spouse who is best friends with Grace.
Grace was zombified pretty dang quickly. He's been wandering around as a zombie, and hasn't eaten any human meat/brains. After a while, he's so hungry that he eats some chocolate or smthn. His mind feels clearer, and he knows a vague direction he has to go in to fix this. Something deep inside him keeps telling him "DO NOT EAT HUMANS." The only human he comes across is Simon, who decides to follow him around because the other zombies stay away from him. They stay away because zombies' senses of smell are insanely good. (They're endurance preadators & pack hunters, and can smell blood from a *long* ways away.) Grace wandered into a Bath & Body Works a while ago (you cannot tell me this man's classroom doesn't have a different scent every season), and since his human self liked the scents so much, he came back out smelling like the most cursed combonation of scents possible. All the other zombies smell him coming and shuffle away in fear. Simon has been in prison for years, he doesn't care if his zombie smells a little funky, as long as it keeps the other ones away.
This is definitely a ColtLand Gentry AU as well, it's just that Colt is in Australia when this all goes down and Court is legally dead. And on a mission to figure out how tf this happened and how to fix it.
Considering that a major theme of PHM is hope, this could totally have a happy ending. I love when apocalypse stories are resolved hopefully. Or it could be left ambiguous. Or, heck, it could all go to hell Iron Lung style, and Simon could die in Zombie!Grace's arms. Or be eaten by Zombie!Grace. Or cannibals. Or other zombies. What I'm saying is that there's a lot of potential for angst here.
This concept was inspired by "Enhanced Conversing with a Half-Dead Beloved" by th15 on Ao3.
It's genuinely the best zombie apocalypse au I have ever read, and you should go read it. You don't need any knowledge of the original work, Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, to be able to enjoy it.

MoShang but its literally just Mobei-Jun as a Cultivator, Rat in a Hat's Fic Recs
Uhh, went down a bit of a rabbit hole again where I reread every MoShang role reversal/cultivator Mobei-Jun fic that there was. So. Now you get to enjoy it, too!
As always, titles in orange authors in blue, I'll put the authors' Tumblr or other socials if I can find them.

Summary: Airplane Bro transmigrates into his own web-novel only to find out that the System messed up his world! Shang Qinghua is a demon in this world! All the characters supposed to be humans are demons in this world! And all the characters supposed to be demons are...?
Moshang's first meeting in a Role Reversal AU.

Summary: Shang Qinghua and Mobei-Jun meet at the Cloud Recesses during the guest lectures. Shang Qinghua is still a transmigrator and Mobei-Jun is still destined to kill him someday, and it makes copying the rules in the library really awkward. Shang Qinghua is just trying to survive his own sect. Why does it have to get more complicated?
Moshang in an MDZS AU.
Rat's Notes: @tossawary back again with another peak MoShang fic. While this isn't exactly a role reversal AU, Mobei-Jun is a cultivator, so it counts. Also, it's a Mo Dao Zu Shi alternate universe, I couldn't just not include it.

Summary: “May this one ask his king a question?” he spoke softly.
The demon lord sat up a bit, leaning on a forearm, grinning. “Oh course! This king is always happy to answer any question of his dear cultivator.”
“What is your name?”
Rat's Notes: Shang Qinghua as the Demon Lord of the Northern Desert! With Mobei-Jun as an assasain, and SQH's right-hand man. Short :( but sweet.

Snake Following the Mongoose by Prim_the_Amazing
Words: 6.1K | Last Updated: 2026-04-02 (Completed) | Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Summary: Mo Bei wakes up to the last demon of the pack he hadn’t managed to kill before passing out pawing at him, animalistically crouched over him and rifling through his pockets. Panic lances like a spear of ice through the haze of hot, sluggish pain and disorientation, and he wildly swipes at the demon with a burst of qi.
The demon yelps and throws himself out of the way, pouncing onto all fours before defensively throwing his arms up over his face, looking at Mo Bei with wide, frightened eyes. He would almost look like a victim, if it weren’t for his inhuman cat-slit eyes.
“Mercy!” the demon cries. “Mercy, mercy, Master Cultivator, please don’t kill me! I was just looking for medicine! For your wounds!”
-
Mo Bei, a righteous cultivator, is forced to rely upon a filthy, wicked demon.
Rat's Notes: Prim the Amazing has a ton of other awesome SVSSS fics, too, so I recommend you check those ones out too. The QiJiu ones, in particular. I really like this fic because it not only has MBJ as a cultivator, but SQH as a demon!

Royal Responsibilities and Other Things to Avoid by crybabyenligne
Words: 4K | Last Updated: 2024-08-08 | Rating: Not Rated
Summary: Shang Qinghua is the youngest and weakest son of the ruler of the Northern Desert and destined to have a short and treacherous rule due to his traitorous habits and back stabbing tendencies. His role in the plot is to be killed by An Ding Peak Lord Mobei Jun who uses his victory to aid Luo Binghe in his efforts to become sect leader and unite the cultivator and demon worlds.
As a transmigrator, he is doing his best thigh hugging to avoid this fate. Meanwhile, Mobei Jun thinks he is succumbing to the wiles of a succubus, never mind the fact that this succubus is the worst seductor he’s ever met.

Summary: 知彼知己,百战不殆 If you know your enemy and know yourself, then in a hundred battles you will not suffer one defeat - Sun Tsu, Art of War.
-----
"Supporting character-" sputters Shang Qinghua. "Bro, Ling Li is a secondary protagonist, ok, at least! He's disillusioned after the murder of his master is covered up by the worst scum villain and the sect head looks the other way. He becomes the protagonist's best friend and top supporter after they meet and work to uncover the scum villain. He was strong enough to fight on par with Liu Qingge, and that's before he goes off on the training journey in the endless abyss where he meets Bing-ge. He's super good looking and he's fucking ripped. If I didn't make him stone-faced and bad with women, he would have been ripped apart by you assholes, my precious punching son. Don't look down on Ling Li!"
"Yes, fine," says Shen Qingqiu, rolling his eyes. "But I didn't murder Liu Qingge. So what's next?"
Rat's Notes: A bit of a slow start, but picks up speed at chapter 2. Mobei-Jun as an unknowingly amnesiac cultivator

Summary: Mobei-Jun knows that Shang Qinghua is dangerous. It's a fact as plain as any other way of the world. The seasons come and go. Rain falls on the vine, and it grows, withers, and dies. Shang Qinghua, King of the Northern Reaches, is a dangerous, cruel, and uncompromising demon. So why does Mobei-Jun always return to him?
Rat's Notes: Bird demon SQH is so cool. MBJ usually ends up as either an An Ding or Bai Zhan disciple in fics like these, but in this one he's taken SQH's place as an An Ding disciple.

If you have any recommendations that I didn't list here, feel free to comment them! I'll probably update this list with more if I find some. Most of these are one-shots or pretty short, unfortunately.
site that you can type in the definition of a word and get the word
site for when you can only remember part of a word/its definition
site that gives you words that rhyme with a word
site that gives you synonyms and antonyms
THAT FIRST SITE IS EVERY WRITER’S DREAM DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I’VE TRIED WRITING SOMETHING AND THOUGHT GOD DAMN IS THERE A SPECIFIC WORD FOR WHAT I’M USING TWO SENTENCES TO DESCRIBE AND JUST GETTING A BUNCH OF SHIT GOOGLE RESULTS
This one’s an always-reblog, because who knows who needs it and hasn’t seen it yet?
Bookmarked these sites just now! I look forward to using them in my potential future writing endeavours!
Y'all really liked the drawing I posted of kkoma 666, so here's a digital version of the original, plus some bonus 666s. I just really like this lil guy, he doesn't show up often but he's so funny.
Rat in a Hat's Comprehensive JoongDok Recommendations - Part One
...Always assume I'm lying about when I'll get these lists out. Here's one that's been done for a while.
I have a lot of JoongDok fics that are shorter, around 10K, or are unfinished/WIPs, so keep that in mind while you're looking through this.
In this list you will not see: KimYooHan, or Secretive Plotter/Kim Dokja. No A/B/O dynamics either, because those annoy me unless they're plot relevant and done well. You may see Kim Dokja/Certain rounds of Yoo Joonghyuk, but for the most part it'll be Joonghyuk of the third round, who travelled with Dokja from the beginning. There's a lot more no-scenario AUs, and quite a few soulmate fics (This rat's favorite ʕ•͡-•ʔ). I actually found surprisingly few Joongdok fics that were set during the scenarios.
For the most part, these will be third person point of view (because I can't stand first person, no disrespect to the ORV webnovel) and rated Teen And Up Audiences, but there may be a few Mature or otherwise rated. I'll mark them as such. As always, I'll link the fics in orange and the authors in blue, and do my best to find the authors' tumblr accounts for fanart and stuff. Enjoy!

This one is so good and has the funniest Dokkaebi Steamed Cakes advertisements, they're hilarious.

Right - writing him some cheesy love letters. This fanfic is the Sequel to "20 Reasons why you should date me". It's not necessary to read it first, but I would highly recommend it for a better understanding of the story. Rat's Notes: It's from Joonghyuk's perspective!

Summary: Kim Dokja is an enigma, Yoo Joonghyuk discovered very quickly. He was everywhere all at once, almost like he was doing it on purpose just to annoy Yoo Joonghyuk. But that’s when he discovered that everyone was seemingly already well acquainted with Kim Dokja, and Yoo Joonghyuk was the only one out of the loop.

Summary:
“Are you from Tennessee–” “No,” Yoo Joonghyuk said flatly, without even looking at him. They were in the training rooms of the demon castle, where he was throwing knives at a photo of Dokja himself. On one hand, he was flattered. On the other hand, he was also intensely concerned. “–Because,” Dokja said, exasperated, throwing Joonghyuk a dirty look he knew he could feel even with his face turned away. “You’re the only ten I see.” “That’s absolutely disgusting,” Yoo Joonghyuk said, and turned to hurl a knife at him. Dokja caught it in his hand reflexively. The hilt was still warm from his grip. “Try again tomorrow.”
in an astonishing show of stupidity, kim dokja, a streamer, decides to seduce the final boss of the vr fantasy game three ways to survive in a fantasy world. spoiler alert: the final boss is not, in fact, an npc; he’s an actual streamer who has apparently been on the receiving end of kim dokja’s flirtations for months– also while streaming. what fun!
Rat's Notes: Dude, this one was hilarious. No Scenarios AU where KDJ and YJH are both streamers. The romance was romancing in here.

Summary:
“My point is that I propose a deal where we can both benefit.” Kim Dokja said hurriedly, praying to the constellations that this man entertained him a bit longer until he can sell his pitch. “You don’t have any money to pay.” The man summarized for him. All pretenses of a chef were dropped as he slowly rounded the counter like a predator, his arms remain crossed like his expression. Kim Dokja swore he almost had a heart attack from the closing distance between them. Luckily Kim Dokja’s complexion could not get any paler, so his panic went unnoticed… hopefully.
In other news, Kim Dokja once again finds a way to BS his way through life, this time as a fake food critic.
Rat's Notes: You may have noticed by now that I'm a fan of romcom fics. This is one such fic. However, be warned- the secondhand embarrassment from everything Dokja does is very real.

Summary: Kim Dokja hadn’t always been able to read minds. When he was younger, his thoughts were usually silent, leaving him feeling undeniably lonely. Left to his own thoughts, nothing to do except stare at the ceiling of his room, he prayed that one day he might make a friend. So, when the voices started to appear in his mind, he experienced a sense of relief - he wasn’t stuck in his own solidarity anymore. However, sitting across from his mother, with metal bars separating them, Kim Dokja realized that those voices weren’t figments of his imagination.
After all, his imagination would never be so cruel as to imagine his own mother calling him crazy. That day, he vowed that he would never tell another soul about his ability.
…But, how could he keep Yoo Joonghyuk’s secrets all to himself?
AKA Superhero!YJH and MindReader!KDJ try to survive in a ruined world.
Rat's Notes: This fic fulfills this rat's craving for superhero AUs. Be warned: Secretive Plotter is tagged, but it's not as the actual character, it's as YJH's superhero identity.

Summary:
You're bad at fighting. Kim Dokja could barely make out the dark splotches on his arm as words. At first, he thought they were just more bruises. But even at six years old, hiding in the bathroom as he pretended not to hear his father shouting just outside the door... Kim Dokja could read.
In a without scenarios alternate universe, everyone has a soulmate, one other person who they are fated to share the marks of the world with. It's common for young soulmates to contact one another by writing messages on their skin, but because of the way Kim Dokja's childhood was, he never wrote to his soulmate except to say goodbye.
A decade and a half later, his soulmate still writes to him. Yoo Joonghyuk uses his arm like a diary and Kim Dokja knows practically everything there is to know about his soulmate and still refuses to contact him.
What will happen when he is forced to confront the man he's been avoiding his entire life face to face?
Rat's Notes: 90K no scenarios soulmate fic! Last updated 2021, which hurts, but trust that the fic's worth it even if its unfinished. Tsundere child YJH, angst regarding highschool KDJ's supposed "death," and coincidental encounters later in life. The Author's Tumblr is @your--isgayrights.

Summary: "As Yoo Joonghyuk turned onto his side, pulling the blanket tightly around himself, a sudden warmth washed over him. It wasn’t his—it didn’t match the confusion or ache of his day—but it felt like sunlight breaking through storm clouds, softening the jagged edges of his emotions. The warmth whispered: You’re not alone. He didn’t understand it, but instinctively leaned into the quiet comfort it offered."
---------------
In a world where soulbonds connect individuals in mysterious and often painful ways, Kim Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk’s lives take drastically different paths before their bond begins to weave them together.
Kim Dokja grows up in a fractured home, finding fleeting solace in stories while navigating loneliness and survival. Yoo Joonghyuk’s early years are shaped by rigid expectations and isolation, leaving him without the connections he craves. As the soulbond begins to manifest, both will share pain, solace, and questions about the bond that will change their lives forever.

(a.k.a. Non-scenario ORV Soulmate AU because both of these hurt idiots need a hug)

The older woman leaned in, armor lightly clinking together, and shared in a hushed voice, “For a month now, I’ve seen strange letters appear right in the middle of the lord’s desk.” “Perhaps…” The younger woman paused, wracking her brain before muttering carefully, “He’s found an overseas lover?” Ducked into the hallway behind the two, a certain conniving man was worrying his bottom lip.
Kim Dokja has transmigrated as a no-name pencil pusher into his second favorite guilty pleasure novel. Despite being given a life just like his old one, he can’t sit still knowing that, according to the story, this duchy would burn and reduce the population to just one man. Just in case you thought otherwise, Kim Dokja is not that man.

Summary:
Yoo Joonghyuk stares at their linked hands like he's beholding something from an outer realm. Kim Dokja desperately wills his hand to let go, to stop holding hands with Yoo Joonghyuk because what the hell even is this, but his fingers remain locked with Yoo Joonghyuk's scarred ones, warm and rough against his skin. "W-Why the hell can't I—" A system message appears in the air. [The failure penalty is currently in effect. The effect will remain for 25 minutes.] Kim Dokja's jaw drops. His face grows steadily redder. He can only stare, absolutely mortified, as every attempt to separate their palms results in failure. "This has to be some kind of joke."
Kim Dokja tries to save some coins by applying a couples discount on a room. The room asks him to prove it.
Rat's Notes: A funny lil one-shot where Dokja's cheapness has consequences. But at least he got the 30% discount.

Summary: Two weeks ago, there was a zombie outbreak, leading to a worldwide apocalypse. Yoo Joonghyuk had been in the middle of a drinking night with Kim Dokja when the news broke out.
It was safe to say that they weren't prepared for it.
For the first week, things were going good for them. Had been going perfectly. They had food and water, a place to say, weapons, clothes—everything one could need in an apocalypse. It's just...an accident happened.
He doesn't want to say it's his fault, but he certainly feels guilty for it.

Summary:
“Oppa, your handwriting has gotten really, really bad.” These words marked the beginning of a story filled with the supernatural and unanswerable. However, that was neither here nor there. Presently, the problem was this: His handwriting was definitely halfway decent.
Yoo Joonghyuk is sharing an apartment with a ghost whose only regret is not being able to finish the impossibly long novel he'd been following since age 15. If it got the ghost out, Yoo Joonghyuk could put up with reading a few hundred chapters aloud.
Rat's Notes: Kim Dokja dying really early on in these fics seems to be a recurring theme. Lore-accurate Kim Dokja I guess. This is a no-scenarios fic where KDJ is a ghost inhabiting YJH's house. Find the author on Twitter (aka X) @number1ceiling

Summary: Joonghyuk sat on his bed, wide awake. Well, as wide awake as a tired man could be, that is.
In spite of the exhaustion sagging him down, he stayed awake.
Eyes blinking slower and slower, he listened to the soft footsteps echoing in their living room. They were quiet in a way that showed consideration, but loud enough for him to still hear them.
Yawning, Joonghyuk felt a vein throb on his temple. Considering the footsteps have yet to cease or slow, Dokja must be very restless tonight. Again.
He pities the man, though he never voices it.

The problem? His target was Yoo Joonghyuk, corporate warlord, and part-time natural disaster in a suit.
Now, instead of laughing it off with his friends, Dokja finds himself trapped in the company’s top internship program. His supervisors? Yoo Joonghyuk and his executive assistant who could probably bench-press the entire accounting department. His tasks? Market analysis, note-taking, and apparently… existing as Yoo Joonghyuk’s personal stress toy.
It was supposed to be one night of chaos. Instead, it’s corporate Hunger Games with better suits.

Summary:
Kim Dokja, age 28, currently had: 3,209 won in his bank account. 0 romantic prospects. A cold sore. Depressed. He also had a bleeding man slung over his shoulder, a single apartment key, and no good reason for this beyond drunk karma panic. “This is how normal people spend Thursday nights,” he whispered to no one.
Or...
Drunk, depressed, and done with life, Kim Dokja just wanted triangle kimbap and inner peace. Instead, he found a possibly-dead hot guy in a suit, outside a convenience store. In his defense: He thought the guy was homeless.He was doing charity. And anyway, it’s not kidnapping if you’re emotionally unstable and system full of alcohol.
Uh oh, it’s the mafia boss.
This is the story of how Dokja might have accidentally adopted(?)(kidnapping sounds more omnious though that’s what he did but hey, Dokja was drunk) a mafia boss.
But listen. He meant well.
And now there’s blood on the couch.

Summary:
The Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal, The Prisoner of the Golden Headband, The Manager of Heaven’s Stables, The Handsome Monkey King, Buddha Victorious in Strife—Sun Wukong had many names.
He liked it—a lot of names just showed that he was well-known in this stupid world and raised his ego more.
But in short, his name was Sun Wukong.
Or dumbass monkey, if the speaker had earned the right.
His nimbus cloud zipped beneath him with a gentle hum, cruising over the edges of Earth—The place where his master, Tang Sanzang, originated from. It was a speck in the grand theatre of the universe.
He didn’t know why he angled his cloud lower.
Didn’t know why he stopped.
Until he saw him.
The boy sat curled between two dumpsters, knees drawn tightly to his chest. His elbows jutted out at odd angles as he tried to make himself smaller, more invisible than he already was. A ragged, too-thin shirt clung to his frame, threadbare enough to show his ribs.
..
OR: The Great Sage finds himself to unintentionally adopt a maknae.
OR OR: The author thinks there arent enough sun wukong & kim dokja fics, so it decided to make some itself.

Summary:
“Then,” Yoo Joonghyuk begins, “how does someone satisfy their ‘living desire’?” Kim Dokja arrogantly juts out his chin, then goes still. “Huh.” He says, wide-eyed. “Actually, I have no idea.” “You–” When Yoo Joonghyuk turns around to accost him, the ghost is already gone. Kim Dokja was annoying. In the media, ghosts were made up to be uncanny, inconceivable entities, but when things got difficult, Kim Dokja just disappeared. He must’ve had it easy that way. Yoo Joonghyuk grumbles under his breath and pretends that the old shirt slapping wetly against the washing machine door was Kim Dokja’s face.
In a world full of nonsensical things such as soulmates, Yoo Joonghyuk is the one poor soul who gets to experience the mystic grievances of a ghost roommate haunting his new apartment.
Rat's Notes: What's better than a JoongDok soulmate fic? That's right! A JoongDok soulmate fic where Dokja actually is dead, instead of just pretending to be! And now YJH has to try to exorcise this annoying ghost that won't leave his house. No scenarios, school abroad Mia so YJH is all alone with ghost KDJ.

Rat in a Hat's Fic Tags Smash or Pass
Let's play a game! Where we misuse the meaning of the phrase "Smash or Pass." This rat is given a tag. This rat chooses "Smash," (read it) or "Pass" (Don't read it), and then gives the reasoning behind the choice. Let the game begin!
Soulmate AU - SMASH SMASH SMASH

PWP/Smut - PASS PASS PASS

Apocalypse AU - SMASH SMASH SMASH
Rat's Notes: I love apocalypse AUs so much. They're incredibly versatile, what with all the different types of apocalypses and being able to make an apocalypse AU out of pretty much any fandom. I specifically enjoy zombie apocalypses, robot apocalypse, and traditional "End of days, four horsemen of the apocalypse" type fics. Rat's Rating: S-Tier

Highschool AU - SMASH SMASH SMASH
Rat's Notes: One of the only fanfictions that has genuinely made this rat nearly cry was a JoongDok high school AU fanfiction. I'll include it in a fic list when I get around to JoongDok. Anyway, my point is, taking your blorbos, aging them down, and throwing them into a high school together is a recipe for chaos and awesomeness. Rat's Rating: S-Tier
Fix-It - Smash
Rat's Notes: Every fandom has something that you wish you could go back and undo in the original work. I'm generally a fan of these fics. Rat's Rating: S-Tier
Slow Burn - Smash
Rat's Notes: A classic. I'm always down for a good slow burn- however, it can be brought down a tier by frequent pairing with the "misunderstanding" tag being used annoyingly/excessively. Rat's Rating: A-Tier
Canon Divergence - SMASH
Rat's Notes: This rat is a big fan of canon divergence, especially in fix-it fics. Yes, please, keep that terrible thing from happening to my poor blorbos. Keep blorbo #3 from dying. Rat's Rating: S-Tier
Mpreg - PASS PASS PASS
Rat's Notes: Now, I understand that this can be a contentious tag, but this rat is firmly on the "noo, thanks" side. Mpreg is just not my cup of cheese. Especially not where there are so many conveniently adoptable children of various ages in the world. In Xianxia and ancient-chinese settings especially, I guarantee you that there is a sex pollen plant that will grow you a baby after being infused with a lil bit of qi. Rat's Rating: F-Tier
College AU - Smash
Rat's Notes: Obviously this is a broader category, and some college aus will be better than others depending on the premise. But, it is a classic for a reason, and I will never turn down a fic just because it's a college AU. Rat's Rating: A-Tier
Coffee Shop/Bookstore/Flower Shop/Restaurant - Smash
Rat's Notes: Similar to College AU in that it's a classic, and can be a broader category. Sometimes you want to see your favorite characters placed into a quaint, normal job, and these are the tags for that. Rat's Rating: A-Tier
Enemies to Lovers - SMASH
Rat's Notes: ...What can I even say about this tag. It's the tag. The quintessential romantasy, or even romance as a whole, tag. Everybody knows it. Many love it. Wars have been fought over it. People on opposite sides of those wars have fallen in love. Well, you get what I'm saying. My criteria for Enemies to Lovers is that there's only so "enemy" you can go before the "lovers" part becomes unrealistic. Unless it's a cultivation novel, in which case there's some more leeway. THE POINT BEING, there's usually a suspension of disbelief with this tag that, for example, kiling the other's entire family in cold blood, tends to break. Rat's Rating: S-Tier
Misunderstandings - Pass
Rat's Notes: Misunderstandings have a time and place, and I too can enjoy them... the problem is that this tag is misused and abused far too often. I like my misunderstandings to be humorous, easily resolved, or at the very least reasonable misunderstandings that make sense. The misunderstandings that I like aren't really Misunderstandings, so I pass on this tag. Side note, "misunderstandings" is a really strange looking word and I always think I spelled it wrong or smthn. Rat's Rating: B-Tier
BAMF [Character Name] - SMASH SMASH SMASH
Rat's Notes: Somtimes a character is misconstrued by the unreliable narration as less BAMF then they are. Or, sometimes you just want to see your little blorbo aura farm and absolutely demolish the things in their way (I'm looking at Shang Qinghua for both of these scenarios). This tag gives you that opportunity. Heck, even a character that's already amazing deserves a BAMF fic occasionally. Rat's Rating: S-TIER
Family - Smash
Rat's Notes: Love me some wholesome family, biological or found. Rat's Rating: A-Tier
Humor - SMASH SMASH SMASH
Rat's Notes: I am definately more a a humor person than an angst person, so this tag is always one I'm on the lookout for- even if it usually materializes itself as the "attempt at humor" tag instead. I appreciate the effort. Rat's Rating: S-TIER S-TIER S-TIER
Happy Ending - SMASH
Rat's Notes: TBH I only usually read Happy Ending fics. I just want to see my little guys happy. Rat's Rating: S-TIER
One Shot - Smash

Pining - SMASH

Character Death - Smash
Rat's Notes: The Character Death ones I read are usually canon deaths, so not crazy, but I can appreciate a good Character Death fic. Rat's Rating: A-Tier

Rat's Notes: Sometimes you just need to see your favorite characters struggling with taking care of a child. Or not struggling, maybe they're really good at it. Both work. Rat's Rating: A-Tier
Texting/Online & Social Media - Smash
Rat's Notes: I love these fics, they're so cute... As long as it makes sense for the setting. Obviously a Mo Dao Zu Shi texting/social media fic will also be a Modern AU. Probably. At least, I hope so. If there are any fics like this that are somehow not also a Modern AU, please let me know how that even works. Rat's Rating: A-Tier

Rat's Rating: This one kinda has to make sense for the character for me to like it. I won't click away just because it's a musician/singer au, though. Rat's Notes: A-Tier
Royalty AU - SMASH
Rat's Rating: Heheheheh this is one of the quintessential tags, let's be honest. It's a classic for a reason, we know it and we love it. 10/10 no notes. Rat's Notes: S-TIER
Teacher AU - Smash
Rat's Rating: Again this one needs to make sense for the character. Let's not be making the most traumatized, unstable character be in charge of a bunch of tweens. Or, actually, that sounds kinda interesting.... Rat's Notes: S-Tier
Superhero AU - SMASH SMASH SMASH
Rat's Rating: OML I love Superhero AUs so much. Like... so much. I cannot put into words how much I love superhero aus. They're tied with Soulmate AUs for my favorite, which is really saying something. Rat's Notes: S-TIER S-TIER S-TIER
Crime Boss AU - Smash
Rat's Rating: Not entirely my cup of cheese, but I can appreciate the occasional crime boss au. It's a very versetaile tag, with many characters being able to be various types of crime bosses. Again, though- don't make the embodiment of sunshine, love, and peace among men be the crime boss. Rat's Notes: A-Tier
Vampires - SMASH
Rat's Rating: hehe I will never say no to a vampire AU, or even just a fic with vampires in it. Rat's Notes: S-Tier
Ghosts - SMASH
Rat's Rating: This can sometimes go hand in hand with "Character Death". What I've really enjoyed in the past, though, is the main character dying and then we just follow them as a ghost. I think that's hilarious. Rat's Notes: S-Tier
3rd Person POV - SMASH
Rat's Rating: I almost exclusively read 3rd person POV fics. Especially if the source material is a show or written in the 3rd person, I prefer it to be like that. I like having an omniscint view of other character's though processes while still focusing on the main character. ...I know that ORV is technically written in the first person, but I still prefer third person for fics of it, tbh. It helps that the majority of fics are third person just on the whole, I think. Rat's Notes: S-TIER
1st Person POV - Pass
Rat's Rating: Enh. Not for me. I think characterization can be hard if you're so focused on one character's inner workings. Rat's Notes: B-Tier
2nd Person POV - Pass
Rat's Rating: ??? I have yet to even come across a second person POV fic. Is it even possible? has it ever been done? Heck if I know. I'm not sure if I'd like it or not. Rat's Notes: B-Tier
Self-Insert | Y/N - Pass
Rat's Notes: We've all seen the memes. I've personally never been a fan of self-insert | Y/N fics, even before the memepocalypse of Y/N. I'm sure there are good ones out there, but again, not really my cup of cheese. No disrespect to Self-Insert authors, I hold great respect for all fanfic authors. I could never do what they do. Rat's Rating: F-Tier
That's all of the tags I could come up with after some light Googling. Tell me if there's any more you'd like to hear an opinion on!

Rat in a Hat's Comprehensive MoShang Recommendations - Part One
Oof, it has been a while. It has taken a lot longer to finish part one than I thought. This rat is back from inside the walls of AO3 with, this time by popular demand, dududududududududu... MoShang fanfictions! It really looked like JoongDok was gonna win for a while there, though, so much so that I actually started drafting a post for their fic recs. Well, maybe next vote they'll win.
These are all exclusively Mobei-jun/Xiang Fei | Shang Qinghua. No Original Shang Qinghua or Original Mobei-jun. You also will not find any Mpreg fics, because I despise Mpreg as a plot device when you have a world with magical baby-growing plants all over the place. No A/B/O dynamics either, because those annoy me unless they're plot relevant and done well. Don't expect a lot of angst- most of what I read is rated Teen and Up, but I'll include rating in the recs. Every fic is linked in the orange title, as well as the authors in blue. Enjoy :)
Accidental baby trapping by Speechless_since_1998
Words: 1.7K | Last Updated: 2025-09-25 | Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Summary: So, Shang Qinghua was in trouble. Not the type fuck, I accidentally betrayed my king and now he's going to kill me. More than the type holy shit, I could be about to end the world.
It was not an exaggeration. The system was silent – maybe it was trying to get back online? Had it broken forever? Was he completely alone? – and he hadn't heard from him yet, but he didn't need that damn thing to know for sure how much he was in the shit.
The baby next to him woke up at that moment, demanding attention, and the poor cultivator hurried to take a bottle of lucky milk made by him and feed him.
Really, what were the chances that he would find and save his protagonist?
Rat's Notes: Starting off strong with some Accidental Baby Acquisition! This one doesn't have much written yet, but the first chapter is really good.

Babe in the Woods by Tossawary
Words: 19.2K | Last Updated: 2021-04-01 (Completed) | Rating: Mature
Summary: A Pre-Canon Canon Divergence fic.
Airplane Shooting Towards The Sky didn’t remember anything about Mobei-Jun having a child! He remembered Mobei-Jun having siblings, sure, but he was pretty sure that he’d alluded to Mobei-Jun’s terrible uncle doing… away with most of them. Did that mean that this demon child was supposed to… die for the plot?
In which, when Airplane meets Mobei-Jun and saves the demon's life, he also meets and saves Mobei-Jun's baby brother. Hiding and helping two spoiled young demon masters is twice the trouble.
Rat's Notes: If you read my LiuShen Recommendations list, you'll know that Tossawary is one of the Big Three of LiuShen Authors. Well, I'm here to tell you that they're the NeonGhostCat of MoShang. The MVP. The GOAT. 34 SVSSS fics, 17 of which are MoShang focused. Every one of them well written.

Burning Heart by AbsolutelyRadiantMoth
Words: 31.5K | Last Updated: 2025-10-26 | Rating: Mature
Summary: After a derailed plot coming back to bite him, specifically, in the ass; Shang Qinghua is stranded in the frozen wilderness with a critically injured Mobei Jun. Thankfully, he knows how to fix this. Unfortunately, the fix was originally written as a challenge for his protagonist son, and really, what does that mean for his chances? Still, it's not like he can let his king just DIE out here. That would be way too uncool for his favourite character! That he is not pining for! And you can't prove it anyway!
After getting injured during the (heroic!) rescue of his king, Shang Qinghua is faced with the fact that he is now... Useless. He can't do his job, he can barely do anything on his own, really. He'd like to come to terms with this in peace and quiet, thank you. If Mobei Jun could just not pop out of the shadows every couple of seconds to ask him to come back to the Northern Palace, that'd be great! He's on sick leave, for fuck's sake! Maybe permanently!
Naturally, his king would not deign to do something just because Shang Qinghua wishes it, right? ...Hahaha, right?????
Rat's Rating: This one is so good. I don't even know what to say. Mature for Canon-typical violence and injury.

Dirty Dog Hidden Bones : REVAMPED by MindlessPhilosophist
Words: 24.8K | Last Updated: 2026-01-10 | Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Summary: Shang Qinghua rushed through Shuāng Hú Chéng, gathering supplies after An Ding Peak's vault was broken into. A scruffy boy grabbed his robe.
Luo Binghe: “Are you my dad?”
Shang froze, panic setting in. The boy, his future MC, was looking up at him like it was the most natural thing.
Shang Qinghua (nervously): “What? No! I—I’m not—where did you even get that idea?!”
【SYSTEM ALERT】: ⚠️ DO NOT ENGAGE. THIS IS NOT THE TIME. ⚠️
The boy nodded like everything made sense.
Luo Binghe: “You’ve got curly hair. Just like me. It’s fate, right? I forgive you, Dad.”
【SYSTEM WARNING】: ❌ This is bad. FAR too early. ❌
Shang Qinghua (panicking): “I’m not your dad! I have an important errand—please don’t—!”
The boy tightened his grip on his robes, looking up with those innocent eyes.
Luo Binghe: “I’ll take that as a yes. You’re just shy, huh?”
【SYSTEM RESPONSE】: 💀 This is the worst timeline. 💀
Shang sighed, utterly defeated. “…Fine. Sure. I’m your dad. Now let go of my robes.”
Rat's Notes: The System does not go easy on Shang Qinghua in this one. Be prepared for a lot of angst. But at least Binghe's really cute.

disowned in some frozen devotion by randomprose
Words: 2.2K | Last Updated: 2025-09-24 | Rating: General Audiences
Summary: “I hereby banish you,” Mobei Jun utters lowly, quietly, yet it rings so loudly in the silence of the throne room. “Since Shang Qinghua has expressed his eagerness to leave, from today onwards, he shall never again set foot in the North’s territory.”
It is subtle because that is how Shang Qinghua has always been: subtle and underhanded. However, Mobei Jun has known him for a long time and has been familiar with him in every conceivable way, and he knows his words struck a chord in Shang Qinghua. After all, the North has been a home to him for a better part of his life, more than his human sect ever did.
“This Mobei Jun renounces Shang Qinghua as he has renounced this king.” The rigid stance of Shang Qinghua’s spine gives Mobei Jun cruel satisfaction. “And let this be the last time our paths ever cross.”
--
or: Shang Qinghua agrees to Luo Bingge's arrangement to spare Mobei Jun and the North — for Moshang Week 2025 Day 1: Exile
Rat's Notes: OG MoShang still counts as MoShang! This one is short, but very well well written. I would rate is more of a Teen And Up Audiences or even Mature than General Audiences. There's nothing explicit, pretty much just Original Luo Bingge being a freak. Author's Tumblr is @randomprose, if you want a lot of OG Shang Qinghua/OG Mobei-Jun goodness, I'd recommend checking them out.

dreams that had never come true by Tossawary
Words: 13.8K | Last Updated: 2021-05-24 (Completed) | Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Summary: Mobei-Jun’s search for Shang Qinghua had taken him to many strange places. He had quickly exhausted all more familiar locations. He had come to this last strange place not because Shang Qinghua was a strange man who knew many strange things (though he was), but because… because… it was becoming evident that if he did not seek out strange methods, he would never find Shang Qinghua if he did not wish to be found.
It was becoming evident that Shang Qinghua did not wish to be found.
In which Mobei-Jun becomes an accidental time-traveler and gets a second shot at his life with Shang Qinghua.
Rat's Notes: Tossawary clutch again with an absolutely amazing MoShang fic. I must have reread this one at least three times by now. TL:DR, Mobei-Jun doesn't find SQH after the succession and regresses back to their first meeting. Starring a very confused disciple SQH, wondering why MBJ is so OOC.

Summary:Something goes wrong when Airplane Shooting Towards The Sky dies, and when he wakes up as Shang Qinghua, he's blind
The System is actually pretty helpful, and tells him what's going on. But how is he supposed to play his role in the story if he's blind?!
Oh, and the bullying and coddling does NOT make his job any easier
At least he has the System to help...
"Last question- I think. Why is it so dark?"
You went blind before you died. Due to a minor system error, you will now be blind as Shang Qinghua.
Are there anymore questions?
"Yeah- how the hell am I supposed to do any of these quests if I'm blind?!"
This system is unsure!
Binding User_001 to Role: Shang Qinghua...

He turned his button-black eyes downwards towards the wing splint... The wing split that lay on the ground, empty and now much too big. His King would be so displeased when he found out! …IF he found out. In a technical sense, Shang Qinghua hadn’t snuck out, because that would be implying that he’d been prevented from leaving. But he hadn’t!! …Because Shang Qinghua hadn’t asked. Rat's Notes: This is the sequel to Feather Your Nest! It's set after Mobei-Jun ascension in the original novel.

He could feel his own panicked breaths rebounding against his face, hot and too-fast. Kidnapping attempts were not altogether uncommon now that he’d started to sleep with Mobei-Jun, especially not when alone with Shen Qingqiu, who attracted wife plots like flies to honey.

Feathers in a storm by ForgottenVice
Words: 53.4K | Last Updated: 2023-11-11 (Completed) | Rating: Not Rated (I'd call it Teen And Up Audiences)
Summary: Mobei Jun was the most eligible bachelor in the North; strong, confident and beautiful, and the future King. In an attempt to gain his favour a witch sends a spy, one that should be able to figure out how best to court the prince without being noticed.
A raven.
But Shang Qinghua is not a raven, not really.
While he couldn’t remember how he’d insulted the witch, but he did remember being human, and the promise of shedding his feathers is enough for him to go along with her scheme.
As long as he can stay out of sight he’ll be fine. But due to a series of unforeseen events and several assassination attempts he’s somehow been adopted by the Prince as a favoured pet. Which is good, he can use his proximity to Mobei Jun to help the witch get closer. He’ll be a good little spy and when the wedding bells ring he’ll be human again.
Except the closer he gets to Mobei Jun, the more horrible the circumstances of his curse seems.
Can he watch the prince marry the witch that cursed him? Or will he be doomed to live the rest of his life as a bird simply for Mobei Jun’s happiness?
Rat's Notes: This fic makes little rat brain go brrrrrr. This is a bit of an AU, but not EXTREMELY different from canon. It's adorable, well written, heart-wrenching, and the plot is plotting. I'm gonna go reread it now instead of working on this list.

Summary: Shang Qinghua let out a long, shaky breath. “Right. Okay. Sure. No problem. I can work with that. That’s fine.” He shifted the baby in his arms, looking down at the tiny, squirming face, the damp lashes clinging together. “You hear that? As long as you make it to the sect, everything’s good. Easy quest conditions. No trauma required.”
Luo Binghe made a faint snuffling sound, unimpressed.
Shang Qinghua’s smile collapsed almost instantly. “Oh, gods, what am I saying?” He scrubbed a hand over his face, leaving another smear of drying blood. “I’m not qualified for this! I can barely keep myself alive half the time! You need—uh—you need a responsible, kindhearted woman from a humble background with good soup-making skills, not a chronically overworked peak lord-slash-spy!”
The baby responded by making a small, gurgling noise that sounded alarmingly like agreement.
“Don’t sass me,” Shang Qinghua muttered. “You’re, like, twelve minutes old.”

Just another fic where Shang Qinghua ruins canon and gains a son.

Summary: Mobei-Jun does not speak human. He does not speak human even a little bit, as Shang Qinghua has tested by saying absolutely unholy filthy things to him that should have gotten him instantly murdered, but instead only earns him a blank, annoyed stare.
“My king, please, it’s only water. It’s unpoisoned, see? See, I’ll drink some. Ahh, tasty, safe water! Please, drink it? You’re sweating so much, you’re, like, melting.” He helps Mobei-Jun drink the water. “... God I really want to lick the sweat off your neck.”
Mobei-Jun does not react. Ahaha, this is kind of fun. Except for all the ways that it’s so fucking inconvenient.

Shang Qinghua wrote PIDW to have many different languages; he does not remember this.
