Desperately In Need A Fic Where Shen Yuan Wakes Up Back In His Old Body/world To Find That PIDW Has Changed.

I need need need post cannon fics talking about Shen Qingqiu having some form of body dysmorphia

The reasons for it being post cannon is one, he gets to actually work through some of his thoughts instead of just surviving the plot. Two, he actually knows more about Shen Jiu and starts to think of him more as a person then just some terrible villain

I want to be in a state of not thinking the face he wears is his but also having for so long that his old one wouldn't be something he recognized

I just need a scene were Luo Binghe comes home one day and Shen Qingqiu is just sitting on the floor, zoned all the way out, and the mirror (that was in that specific room) shattered

Obviously Shen Qingqiu can't explain what's wrong because how could he and on some level Luo Binghe knows that he won't get a proper answer but just

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:

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 feel like this could have already been said because it just seems so obvious but I haven't found any post like this.

What if Shen Yuan and Shen Jiu just swapped.

We know that Shen Jiu had a terrible qi deviation that lead to him essentially dying. This is what aloud Shen Yuan's soul to replace him. Though couldn't that technically mean that the same could have happened for Shen Jiu but with Shen Yuan's body.

Just a thought.

Crappy comic adaptation, let's go

I headcanon that sometimes certain things will trigger very vivid flashbacks to Shen Qingqiu's (Shen Yuan's) past world.

One second he's navigating an unusually dense crowd of people during some kind of festival; the next second hes walking in a big city (we'll say Shanghai just bc) with all the lights and the people

He descending the stairs in a stone tower (probably some investigation about people in a nearby village going missing) and the next thing he knows he's in the stairwell in his apartment because the elevator broke

He splashes water on his face one morning and for a second he's back in his apartment's bathroom. His vision blury because he doesn't have his glasses, not just because he has water in his eyes

One day he's getting lectured about without a cure by Mu Qingfang, he blinks and his martial brother is suddenly a modern doctor (yes I head cannon sy as having a clinical illness like most of the fandom)

He's pouring over documents and paperwork with Binghe and suddenly he's studying for exams (or doing hw) with his college roommate

I think a lot about this

BinggeYuan is just Veronica and JD from Heathers to me

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

Adding the fact that Shen Yuan was a rich kid plus the fact that he thinks that running a peak, teaching disciples and going on missions is just lazing around then I wouldn't be surprised if he did some find of sport

Ok, here me out, a lot of rich kids tend to do a whole bunch of extra circulars (trust me, I went to a school filled with trust fund kids) and Shen Yuan considers himself lazy despite very clearly doing a lot. So, he probably got that notion because in his first life he had a jammed pack schedule and uses that as a comparison.

So with this in mind he probably has a bunch of skills, one of those being some form of sport.

Anyway, flash forward to some time post cannon and a wife plot happens. In the original PIDW it was a excuse for a sport episode (or character(s) in this case) with future wives and current wives to wear short clothes and run around. It's probably written because it a fan favorite trope in media and will mist likely bring in a bigger audience (SY can be heard cursing airplane for unoriginalty, contradictions and historical inaccuracy). We'll just say that some kingdom/demon royal family decided instead of violence (because who could ever beat Bingge in a fight?) to use a sports tournament as a way to decide who get to rule.

Well, when this happens in svsss Shen Qingqiu ends up roped into this (ahh, the curse to be a love interest) and just absolutely destroys everyone at off brand tennis (and/or other rich people sports). Luo Binghe would also be destroying people at literally any of the games but he's too busy trying to not lose it over SQQ's (previously stated) short clothing, pulled tightly up hair and skill

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
