disciple luo binghe, running errands for his shizun one day, somehow manages to be in the exact wrong (right) place at the exact wrong (right) time and catches shang qinghua meeting with mobei junin order to keep luo binghe from tattling right away, shang qinghua dissembles in a panic and claims that his clandestine meetings with mobei jun are happening because they're lovers and definitely not because shang qinghua is betraying the sect and handing their secrets over to demons in order to save his own hide. when that almost doesn't work, he also tells luo binghe that he knows he's part demon, and that if luo binghe rats him out then shang qinghua will take him down with him. mutually assured destructionit works, and even though luo binghe threatens him quite a bit (jeez kid calm down, you might be the almighty protagonist but also you're like sixteen) he agrees to keep shang qinghua's fraternizing a secret. but if ANYTHING BAD should happen to the sect or especially to luo binghe's shizun because of this, luo binghe will take shang qinghua down even if it does ruin his life too

Welcome to Silentworld's ASL Courses

AU where there's no system (or a decidedly less restrictive one) and Shen Yuan transmigrates into an OC rogue cultivator before the start of the novel, and decides he's gonna steal the protagonist before Luo Binghe even gets to Cang Qiong.

Shen Yuan woke up in a murder cave where his body’s previous inhabitant had died. Whoever is in the next cavern—are they the one who brought Shen Yuan here? Are they another victim? Shakily, Shen Yuan climbs to his feet. He can peek into the other cavern and it will be fine. If it’s not something he can handle, he’ll run away. Hobble away. Hide and pray he doesn’t immediately die again. Whatever. [or: the Original Shen Qingqiu has his fatal qi deviation in the Lingxi Caves.]

[…If I had met you back in the normal world, I would never ever have become your friend.] Kim Dokja, Han Sooyoung, and Yoo Joonghyuk have never met, but they've started having dreams about each other. They track each other down in the waking world to find out why.

Shen Yuan has had a push and pull relationship with Shen Qingqiu for years. Shen Yuan knows that Shen Qingqiu is meant to be a villain, but he knows just as well that many of the things Shen Qingqiu was accused of in Proud Immortal Demon Way turned were shitty misunderstandings, and over the years Shen Yuan has become reluctantly fond of the tsundere asshole that is his Shizun.Abusing Luo Binghe was not a misunderstanding, though, and Shen Yuan will do whatever he can to correct the fact that he wasn't there to protect Luo Binghe when it happened.--“Shizun, I already said that I like beasts best - if I can’t raise Luo Binghe to be my shidi, can’t I raise him as my pet instead?”

Post-Born to Run, it's a long walk home

No one’s ever died for him, here.

It’s kind of a shame someone that talented is that big a douche.

Jean asks for a favor. Neil finds himself at the center of a territorial squabble. It's him. He's the territory. “But why me?” “You are my only good option. Aaron is straight. Andrew is rabid. Allison and Seth are on and off so often it’s impossible to keep track. Dan and Matt are a couple and getting them both to agree to pretend to date me would be harder. Renee doesn’t like men. Katelyn is lovely but Aaron would be angry. I don’t know which of the others started or stopped dating over the summer. That leaves you." “What about Kevin?” Jean scoffs. “You cannot be serious.” “He’s…” What is Kevin? Not any better at telling Riko ‘no’ than Jean is, and, subsequently, probably not great at lying to him. Also, is it really believable that Kevin would jeopardize the team and their athletic careers by shitting where he eats? Probably not. Kevin’s amended hierarchy of needs just has the word EXY at the base. Somewhere far above that are pedestrian concerns like ‘food’ and ‘water’ and ‘shelter.’ “Taller,” Neil finishes lamely. “He’s taller.”

In the future, John Connor does not exist.

Set post-Born to Run: I know a lot of people, kid, but I don't know you.

Luo Binghe doesn’t mean to reach out to Shen Qingqiu. It’s a combination of instinct, the force of habit, and sheer agonized longing that causes him to do it anyway. His physical body is safely ensconced in his rooms at Huan Hua Palace, where he has recently been accepted as a visiting disciple, but his mind— His mind is on Qing Jing Peak. He doesn’t even realize it isn’t one of his own dreams at first. or: while at Huan Hua, Luo Binghe keeps sharing dreams with his shizun, and it doesn't take long to notice that there is something very, very wrong with Shizun's dreamscape

Photodisinfection is a platform technology that destroys bacteria, viruses, yeasts and fungi and their associated virulence factors in minutes. Photodisinfection involves applying a photosensitive agent to the area to be treated, followed by illumination with non-thermal laser light for a few minutes. This targeted light activation causes an oxidative burst which destroys the pathogens. When the light is turned off, the reaction ceases.

During the reign of a mad king, two old friends meet again one night in an upscale brothel. One is a pleasure-slave; the other, reluctant heir to the King's adviser.

“I can do it,” says Wen Qing, steadying her hands. “I can save his life.” Wen Zhuliu hears her through the open door.This changes history.

“I’m afraid there isn’t anyone left who will pay a ransom for us now. Apologies.”“Why the fuck are you apologizing to them?” Mu Qing snaps. “Do you recall the part where we’re their unwilling captives?”“Politeness never hurts,” Xie Lian says.“I have a hard time believing no one would want you back, gege.” Hua Cheng’s words are spoken in almost a purr. Xie Lian sees He Xuan give Hua Cheng a subtle pinch on his upper arm—though, to the captain’s credit, he doesn’t even flinch.OR: xie lian finds himself on a surprisingly hospitable pirate ship

Lan Zhan can't fall asleep that night in the unfamiliar room in an unfamiliar house, married to an unfamiliar man.

“All right. I’m in Proud Immortal Demon Way," he says, once he's had a chance to compose himself again. He sits back up, tossing his stupidly long hair back over his shoulders where it belongs; he is totally calm and ready to grill the System for more information.  "Who am I supposed to be?" Please please please don't let it be someone who Bingge violently murders. Though given the fact that he's a man in PIDW, his chances are already skewed, and not in his favor. Ugh. [Bound Role: Shen Yuan, Rogue Cultivator. Weapon: the sword Heng Li. Starting B-points: 100.] or: Shen Yuan transmigrates as a rogue cultivator, one completely unconnected to any canon characters or events. Right, System? Right?

When trying to transfer Shen Yuan from the real world to Proud Immortal Demon Way, the System runs into an error. The transfer is not complete.Shen Yuan is dropped off at the foot of a mountain aware of two things: he's in the story, and the Shen Qingqiu of this world is not only aware but thinks he tried to possess his body — and he's PISSED. Shen Yuan tries to opt out and live a simple life on what locals tell him is a monster-infested mountain no one in their right mind would bother with.Sounds like a great hiding spot!(TL;DR: Stardew Scum Villain Valley Mountain.)
