Severus getting a prep cook job in Cokeworth one summer and picking up solid mf knife skills. Like those culinary school chopping videos. Just fast asf precise knife work and handling.

He gets back to Hogwarts and it’s just business as usual until he’s DEAD tired one day and is prepping ingredients in Slughorn’s class. He gets to something that needs to be sliced uniformly and is similar in shape/size to food he prepped at the restaurant and muscle memory just kicks into overdrive.

The whole classroom freezes and looks at him because idk if y’all know this but that shit is LOUD compared to hesitant knife work. It smacks the cutting board and has a way different rhythm than normal kitchen noise.

Yeah it’s a skill no one has encountered unless they have been back of house at a restaurant.

Severus is too exhausted to process that anyone is paying attention to him so he just keeps going. Ingredients? Prepped? Potion? Brewed with gusto, like he was born to do it. His brain isn’t online so he’s acting like it’s a dream and adds in some flourish and flair, a trick to catch a knife, a fancy stir to help aerate the brew, a crazy amount of multitasking just because he can.

Jaw dropping behavior.

Slughorn doesn’t know how to react honestly, and is spared needing to praise him considering Severus is half awake when he hands his potion to his head of house.

Y'know, forget the top-bottom or the redblack/coolwhite divide, I think the two who would get along best out of all the MXTX mains would be Shen Yuan and Hua Cheng

Shen Yuan: I was revived into my second life by virtue of my fanatical devotion to my favorite person and my seething hatred of the oceans of unworthy people around him who failed to properly respect how awesome he is

Hua Cheng: You. You get it.

Peter: So, how did Valentine's day go on the island of misfit pups?

Boyd: I got Erica the new leather jacket she really wanted.

Cora: I took Lydia to dinner at that fancy Italian place downtown.

Isaac: Me and Scott chipped in for one of those fancy charm bracelets for Allison.

Peter: Not bad. I'm almost proud.

Scott: Hey, Derek, what'd you get Stiles?

Derek: A, uh, a knife.

Scott, Boyd, Isaac, Cora: ....

Peter: - and it's gone. How are we even related?

[Meanwhile]

Stiles, excitedly: Look, the handle is shaped like the Batman symbol, and there's a blade on both sides, so it's like the Batarang!

Erica: !!!!!

Allison: Damn, now I want one.

Lydia: I'm not sure what's more frightening - Derek's idea of romance or you with a sharp object.

Erica: You’ve reached the Hale Harem, you got the dough, we got the ho, how may I service you?

Derek, from the other side of the loft: GODDAMN IT, ERICA, STOP ANSWERING MY PHONE.

Stiles: *puts oils and edible healing herbs in the bathwater to help Bby Eli's winter skin*

Derek: Are you giving him a bath or making him into soup?

Stiles: *cackling*

i have been constantly in tears over this newly hatched duck i found on instagram last night

The only logical option left.

liushennnn in my attendant sy au (read right to left)

notes on this au:

sy transmigrates into a new body when sqq fights the system trying to force him out of his body. sqq is livid and decides to take sy as his retainer/secretary/assistant, forcing him to do most of the accounting & administrative work on qing jing peak and work for sqq for free while also helping sqq avoid his tragic fate by telling him spoilers and secrets about the world that sy remembers. sy has no golden core and no cultivation, and cant wield a spiritual sword or fight. sy has no documents, no money, and no prospects. sqq basically provides everything for him & can also take it away. sy moves into the other room in the bamboo house and cleans and organizes as well, although his own room is a mess. sqq never makes it clear what sy's position on the peak is, so all of the disciples follow his orders in fear of disobeying sqq. sy is basically 2nd to sqq, although he doesnt see it that way; he sees himself as sqq's overworked servant. he resents sqq for his control over sy's life, but he's terrified of being kicked out.

sqq takes sy to the peak lord meetings as well, using sy to carry documents, serve tea, and to give him information about anything that might be useful to sqq if it comes up during the meeting. sy also often acts as a messenger for sqq between peaks. he doesnt get much interaction outside of senior disciples and the other peak lords.

since sy's hands are usually full with documents, accounting books, talisman paper, & anything else sqq wants him to carry, sy can't use his fan to hide his face as much. instead he uses his hair & his glasses. his skin is sallow & he often misses meals from running around doing sqq's errands, so he always seems tired. clothes he wears are simple & loose, either slip on or buttoned up. he dislikes loud & bright patterns bc he doesn't want to stand out, but sometimes has no choice bc sqq buys his clothes. sqq will often make him wear more extravagant patterns, even when it makes sy nervous about attracting attention.

since sy seemed to appear out of nowhere to the other sect members, sy is very worried about acting too suspicious and getting kicked out. he copies sqq as much as possible to acclimate to the world and seem unphased & elegant.

sy is very interested in the other peak lords since he interacts with them often, especially liu qingge. liu qingge often catches him staring, but sy tries not to interact with anyone more than he has to. liu qingge usually sees him hiding behind sqq as a buffer. if sy does speak, he does it low & quiet, & if behind his fan if possible.

sy looks like his old body & has long black hair, similarly styled to sqq by his insistence. sy dislikes this.

sqq calls sy "a-yuan" bc sy doesnt like it. sy doesnt like telling people his name though bc it makes ppl think theyre related, which he also doesnt like, so he doesnt stop sqq from indroducing sy as "a-yuan". this makes it very difficult for other ppl to know what to call sy in fear of being too familiar

sy does meet sqh earlier in this au, and he helps him as much as he can get away with behind sqq's back. since sy is less bound by the system than sqh is, sqh sometimes "sponsors" sy to do things he himself cant do.

sy calls sqq the equivalent of "sir".

Imagine a scene where sy, newly transmigrated, is getting bullied or otherwise harassed. Either lqg has found some secret sqq had squirrelled away and is trying to take it away, or maybe it's bingge trying to come onto/kidnap him, maybe it's disciple era and its other students, maybe the parents of some students with dangerously high standing are getting too aggressive.

Sy, stressed and desperate, overwhelmed to the point of momentarily forgetting he's in pidw: GEGE! HELP!

Yqy, clear on the other side of the mountain:

just some doodles and expansion on this au lol

i think it would be funny if it were the souls of the peak lords in the bodies of animals after they died in the burning of cang qoing in pidw

they don't remember too much, and sj doesn't remember what og lbh did to him and lbh has only the memories of his earliest disciple days

i want this au to be lighthearted so not much angst
