Low Key Feel Like I'm Dying So I Might Not Be Making Any Sense But "Not Sorry For Loving You" From Epic

I imagine that Shen Yuan probably took care of his younger sister alot. Mostly because it's most likely that he was home the most and his parents + older brothers were most likely busy a lot.

Its to my belief that he was silently thanking his parents for that post transmigration because he knows more "feminine" things because of her (that are the norm in his new setting). I just imagine him braiding Luo Binghe's hair and remembering that he learned to braid because his sister liked to wear her hair in one. Shen Yuan picking out color coordinated outfits because his sister would always rant about it when she needed someone to take her shopping (she wasn't aloud on her own and sy was available). I also feel like he would be totally understandable if any of his female decibels asked to sit out because of cramps (unlike some male teachers)

Idk I just feel like SY would be close to his sister and that would give him a few advantages

Tgcf Fic I wish existed/promt???

!Spoiler warning!

So, pretty much, somehow, someway, after the events of cannon (minus the year that Xie Lian waited) Hualian kick the bucket, don't ask me to explain why. Its ideally after they win the fight against Jun Wu.

Obviously thing one (Feng Xin) and Thing two (Mu Qing) are distraught but years go by and the pain dulls. Oddly enough people do pray to hualian statues, usually asking for love, despite it being known that they are gone. Well, no big deal, mortals are weird.

Anyway, one day Mu Qing gets a few prayers about some ghost in a small town. Usually Feng Xin would be with him but the man likes to keep himself busy during this time (the anniversary). By the time he gets there some local cultivator had already worked things out. Peacefully too, hoe odd. So Mu Qing decides to investigate, perhaps someone destined to ascend.

He some how finds himself at a temple to Hualian, yay... though, there is the cultivator he was looking for. It's a young woman (probably a good thing Feng Xin didn't go) in peach colored robes. She didn't look anything special, her tanned skin indicated that she probably helped out in the fields. She has kind eyes.

What was she doing at that temple though? Praying for love? Maybe not praying but love was definitely a cause. Their was another young woman (oh God, another one) who tended to the shrine. She was probably about a year younger then the cultivator. She wore dark pink robes, almost red and her hair was on a lopsided ponytail.

Anyone could tell by the way they looked at each other... and... wait, Mu Qing recognized the cultivator's smile and the foxish smirk from the other

Oh

Mu Qing thought that gods did reincarnate. That's what everyone knew... but...

His Highness... Her Highness? Looked happy andsodidthatannoyinglittlebratturmedsupreme

Maybe it was best to let them have their peace...

Mu Qing returned back to heaven, something in his chest feeling lighter

Someone said something similar thing on another post but Bingmei probably has a better foundation. Considering that he got a much better and healthier childhood/training. He didn't have to learn everything himself.

Also, (as someone mentioned in the tags) he's probably more mentally there

Bingmei isn't less powerful, dangerous or ale to intimidate than Bingge is, he just retained his ability to see people as people and be genuinely kind and loving.

Just because he shows vulnerability to SQQ, the man he loves and trusts, doesn't mean he isn't just as able to be ruthless, violent, and cut-throat cunning when he needs to be.

IMO Binghe of SV being able to be more of a whole person, not having to pretend to be invulnerable and adhere to toxic masculine values all the time, while still being just as strong and capable and as Bingge (and healthier and happier too) is the point.

Bingge is the more "pathetic" of the two.

Something something Shen Yuan would have been accused/thought to be some kind of seer if he was born into the pidw instead of just placed in a adult body. You can't tell me he wouldn't just say stuff that he shouldn't know.

Unlike Shang Qinghua who probably used his information sparingly or at least discreetly

Post cannon SQQ thinking that either the demon court has just gotten used to him or have become more tolerant towards humans (either by exposure or LBQ's blood)

In reality, after seeing Consort Shen avoid many different kidnapping (or really any wife plot) attempts that he is the same type of human that Mobei Jun's human is. Both "humans" have ridiculous amounts of knowledge that they shouldn't have. They already clocked it from the northern advisor years ago. They talk strongly around each other and have form of platonic flirting (insulting each other).

They have seen/interacted with other humans, and they don't act like that. So, while they have gotten a bit more tolerant about humans, they don't think of either as humans.

Abyss crawler Au

So this is kind of a dnd x svsss au but not really The title is supposed to be a spin on dungeon crawlers but instead it just sounds like a nightmare fuel spider

So, after pushing his little sheep into the endless abyss, Shen Qingqiu starts really regretting his choice. Sure, Binghe should survive... but what if Shen Qingqiu’s plot changes somehow messed him up?! Maybe since it's a bitter betrayal that came out no where instead of one long coming, Binghe won't have the right motivation to get out???

So, the system, seeeing it's host despair so much, decides to use the last bit of its power to grant the protagonist a Shizun shaped guide... though the abyss has closed so it can't just chuck Shen Qingqiu in, and besides, a human wouldn't do good in the abyss

Shen Qingqiu is suddenly no longer at the closed abyss but rather in some kind character creator... wait, he gets to create his own vessel? He's so excited! Oh, but here's the catch, since the system is away from the protagonist he has a very short count down. We'll, he can't go into the abyss as some bald demon, so he picks the choice "Chose last requirement model,"

Part of him thinks it'll just make him so demon version of the original goods... instead it pulls a character out from... from a dnd campaign he did back in high-school. The only reason why he remembers it is because they got mess around with homebrew for their races and roles (you can probably tell I've never played dnd).

Ok, well that not to bad... wait, what's this about deleting his am memories because they'd make the plot too easy????

~~~~~~

Shen Yuan... he think that's his name, he's not sure how knows though... wakes up, not really remembering anything, on a hot stone floor... oh, wait, thats the ground. He picks up his staff and creates a small light spell... wait, he didn't remember learning that... how did he do that???

Well, it seems he remembers any knowledge he gained but not anything personal to him... Is that crying???

Shen Yuan walks over to a small human size dent (he knows he's not human but it's still in his vocabulary... perhaps he hangs out around humans?) in the ground. It's a kid (really, he's like 17-19 but he's still young...) crying, the kid is not human... Part of him thinks that anything in the endless abyss (is that where he is?) is dangerous, bit most of him want to give the kid a hug and pat his curls...

I need more Shen family fics

Not Shen twins, or SY being SJ's son, none of that (though I still love those au's). I need fics about Shen Yuan's family from his past life

I absolutely love fics that do that

Especially when they portray Shen Yuan and his siblings (and how they effected him, even as SQQ)

Did Shen Yuan learn to braid hair for his little sister? Did one of his older brothers teach him how to do a good poker face? Did they all hang out? How did they fight? How did they bond? What were core memories that they share? Did their parents have a favorite? Who was Shen Yuan closest to?

How did they each react to his death?

Do they miss him?

So lbh definitely talked to sqq's corpse during those five years. Maybe he told his dead shizun about his day or his worries (both politically and in the dead shizun flavors). Though I think my favorite would be just talking about his feelings, especially since he never got to do that before everything happened (and honestly that could have saved a lot of time)

Cut to post cannon and Luo Binghe still has this habit, just instead of Shen Qingqiu being dead he's just sleeping. So some (most if not all) mornings when Luo Binghe wakes up before Shen Qingqiu he'll just sort of talk about things. It's usually a lot less emotionally charged since, well, sqq is actually alive, but still. I also imagine if there's ever stuff he doesn't want to burden sqq with knowing, he'll just end up telling it to him when he's asleep. Adding this with the headcannon that it took Bingqiu a long time to actually say 'I love you', I think that Luo Binghe would tell sleeping sqq that he loves him

TGCF x Epic au

This might be incoherent and not make any sense because I'm just trying to get this down. For now all I have right now is just Xie Lain and not any other tgcf cast but I'll deal with that later.

Sometime during the end of Xie Lian's 2nd banishment he ends up in the ocean. Originally the plan was just to help some fisherman in exchange for food but a storm hit (just his luck) and he got thrown overboard. Next thing he knows he's waking up on the shore of an unfamiliar land

Logically this makes no sense and considering the world building differences in gods and monsters (ghosts too ig) that tgcf and epic are two separate worlds that Xie Lian just so happens to cross over.

Now for convenience I'm just going to say that Telemachus finds him when returning from some diplomatic mission (not the one from hold them down, we're not that far). Now while I do want XL and Athena to meet, Athena hasn't met telemachus yet. So, Telemachus (somehow) recognizes that Xie Lian is some kind of swordsman (even though he stopped using a sword after what happened in Yong-An, just role with it) and asks Xie Lian if he will train him in exchange for a place to stay. Xie Lian reluctantly agrees because, well, it's been a while since he had a decent meal

Cut to a little bit later (little wolf), Telemachus can hold his own a bit better then in cannon but Athena still steps in and along with quick thought and the bit of training from xl, Telemachus holds his own for a lot longer... though of course some other suitors step in because why would they ever fight fair. So, in steps Xie Lian and they actually win the scuffle (we'll say it wasn't a big group of suitors).

I don't think XL has been there long enough to already get into a fight and I think he knows that if he does try and fight them that it will end pretty bloody

Athena talk to both Telemachus and XL, intrigued by this mysterious fighter who looks to be younger then the prince yet masterfully skilled. I think Athena and Xie Lian would 100% get along, feeling rather similar in the failed teacher aspect. I do also believe that they would exchange information about each others worlds and Athena would convince XL that he should pick up a sword again (I like swords and I like Xie Lian, sue me)

Somewhere down the line XL is able to convince some suitors to become guards instead. They're faith in Antinous bruised after seeing him get beat up by the prince and some random teenager. Perhaps XL even convinces them that Penelope won't ever love them.

Hold them down and Odysseus still happen except they're a lot less because one, Ody has allies and two, less suitors

You might be wondering how XL gets back to his own world. Well, after OdyPen is reunited and safe (no more naughty suitors), Xie Lian’s work is done, he's not exactly needed, which becomes the catalyst first his third ascension (Don't worry about the logistics of Xie Lian ascending to his worlds heaven while in another world.)

For now that's all I got, perhaps more things happen that cause other tgcf cast members to end up in Epic, perhaps the story just goes on as it is without anymore mention of it outside of how it affected xl (and hence affected cannon)

I totally love the idea of this greatly affecting cannon somehow bur it not even coming up until well into post cannon

Hua Cheng trying to get out of calligraphy practice (xl isn't letting him flirt his way out but he knows how much his husband loves talking about swords): The craftsmanship of Gege's sword is very unique, would he perhaps te me where it's from?

Xie Lian: Oh, a goddess from another world gifted it to me

Hua Cheng:
