There's a mention at one point in SVSSS (I think the Xiao Jiu extras) of there having been an older sister among the slave children that SQQ-J clung to a lot before she was sold away.

Most fics that use her have her be at the WRP.

But it would be really funny if it was Qi Qingqi (killed her creep husband and fled).

At first hearing YQY call SQQ-J "Xiao Jiu" grates on her nerves because it reminds her of a little boy she once knew who is nothing like this spoiled rich brat. They're both such idiots.

Then one day SQQ-J snaps back at YQY calling him "Qi-Ge" because he's doing something reckless and QQQ is like "shit. Those are MY idiots!"

(But she does not become the "Mom friend". Because screw making every female character the "mom friend".)

[afsosville]

I always thought I wanted Shen Jiu to heal from his trauma and cope in a way that doesn't hurt himself and the people around him, hence why I read all the Shen Jiu fanfics that I do. But now it's just like... did I really want that, or did I want him to still be bitter and resentful misanthropic jerk that he is, but still at peace somehow. Him using his anger doing smt productive in his life rather than misplacing it on his disciples. That anger should be fuel to cause greater destruction ykwim.

Imagine if Shen Jiu was like Jin Guangyao and manipulated people into thinking he was an understanding or compassionate person and used crumbs of his backstory to really sell it just to further his own agenda. Much easier to get shit done if ppl aren't always suspecting you even if you didn't do smt. Like the book keeps calling him two faced, and I'm like was he tho???? Was he ever acting two faced?? Pretty sure he made his true personality clear from the start idk what Luo Binghe or Shen Yuan were on abt XD

A Competent Villain by IrisEverGreen is pretty much what I'm talking abt btw.

[afsosville]

SVSSS Prompt (Liujiu, possibly BinYuan) where the system has a bug and so the possession of Shen Qingqiu partly fail and so they have to share the body. One dau it's Shen Yuan, the day after it's Shen Jiu. And when one is in control, the other can speak to him and says comments.

Shen Jiu is extremely annoyed that Shen Yuan thinks he's a scum and says "and where are your proofs?"

Shen Yuan: I know I'm right

Shen Jiu: Whoa what a argument!! You must be a genious. You think you are right so it's obviously the ultimate truth. Sorry but for me you just say bullshit until you shows actual proofs. Wait..you CAN'T because there are NO PROOFS.

Shen Yuan:…

-Later-

Shen Yuan: Stop horribly mistreat Luo Binghe.

Shen Jiu: Horribly? You are aware that Liu Qingge beat the shit of his own students? But no it's me who is horrible. are you sure that you are not exaggerating things? I'm not coddle the little beast so i'm bad?

Shen Yuan: THE FAKE MANUAL!

Shen Jiu:…What?

And they do search and realize that someone has put fake cultivation manuals in Shen Jiu's stuff. But who did that?

Shen Jiu: SO?

Shen Yuan:

Shen Yuan: I'm sorry

-Later-

The mission happens while Shen Yuan is in control of the body and Shen Jiu is annoyed because of what happens. (being captured and half naked) and does sarcastic comments no stop.

Shen Jiu is in control when he saved Liu Qingge, with advices of Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan is in control during the demons invasions and Shen Jiu is REALLY REALLY annoyed when he's poisonned, because it's his body dammit. And he already lost his body autonomy half of his time and now THAT?

Shen Jiu is in control when he wakes up and struggle to be correct with Luo Binghe but tries to because 1st) Shen Yuan doesn't stop telling him to be nice and is annoying 2) no way he'll waste food.

Shen Yuan: we could let him live in the little room in the house?

Shen Jiu: I'M NOT SLEEPING NEAR OF ANOTHER MAN, EVEN A TEENAGER!

Shen Yuan: He'll be in the other room

Shen Jiu: NO! I'll be putting him back in the dormitary and that's all! And what do you think people would think if i let a student sleep in my house and cook for me?

Shen Yuan: if the others doesn't bully him ok

Shen Jiu: i'll never coodle a student and i'll not start with him.

Shen Yuan! And Yingying?

Shen Jiu: ARE YOU GOING TO ACCUSE ME OF THE WORST TOO?

-Later-

Shen Yuan: Liu Qingge acts as a cat

Shen Jiu: Because he wants me to pay attention to him?

Shen Yuan: yes but also because he let dead magical beasts in front of your door, so we can eat good meats for our cultivation.

Shen Yuan: it means he loves you

-Later-

Luo Binghe got attached to his shizun, like really attached. Meanwhile Shen Jiu reconcile with Liu Qingge.

Shen Yuan always accepts food from Luo Binghe and Shen Jiu is annoyed because that's not correct to play house with a student. ("and that's me who is accused of favoritism")

When the conference happens, the system tells "Binghe must fall into the abyss"

Shen Jiu: He's a half-demon, right?

Shen Yuan: HOW DID YOU GUESS IT?

Shen Jiu: why would he have to fall into the abyss if he's not?

System: User, you'll have to push him into the abyss!!

Shen Yuan: wait if i calcule things…THE ONE IN CONTROL OF THE BODY WILL BE ME!

Shen Jiu: lol good luck

-Later-

Shen Yuan, actually in control: HE'S ALREADY COME BACK

Shen Jiu: SHIT SHE'S HERE!!!* after have seen Qiu Haitang*

Shen Jiu: Wait Liu Qingge protects me?

Shen Yuan: I mean yes? He likes you? He's a good shidi?

Shen Yuan: And what happened with the Qiu Family.

Shen Jiu *too busy to have a panick attack*

Shen Yuan, to people: ok put me in prison

Shen Jiu: NOOOOOOOOO

-Later-

Luo Binghe: *rips Shen Qingqiu clothes*

Shen Jiu:*PANICK ATTACK X10000000*

Shen Yuan: BREATHE!!

Luo Binghe: (i scared him that much?)

-Later-

Shen Yuan: I'm will detonate myself

Shen Jiu: THAT MY BODY!! LET THIS UNSTABLE BEAST DIE! FOR THE WORLD!

Shen Jiu: *is still scared by what happened in the prison*

-5 Years Later-

Shen Jiu, waking up in his body, in Luo Binghe's bed: ….Fuck *process to have the biggest panick attack of his life since he killed the Qiu*

Shen Yuan, wakes up in his new body: …wait did Shen Jiu is in his body? He's really dead? =(

Shen Yuan, learning that Luo Binghe kept the body for 5 years: Fuck he must be.

Shen Yuan, learning that Luo Binghe kept the body of Shen Jiu in his bed: OK THAT'S BOY NEED THERAPY!

Liu Qingge takes Shen Jiu away and Shen Yuan still sacrify to protect him when Luo Binghe arrives to the sect to take him back.

Luo Binghe is like "two Shizun, i'll take them both"

Shen Yuan: No, he's fucking terrified by you. I come and you let him.

Feel free to use this idea =)

Rb again bc I finally found a fic with JGY and SJ interaction by a stroke of raw luck dnfmvvm

dying for a MDZS/SVSSS crossover where JGY and SJ get the chance to interact.

like sect leader JGY protecting a fleeing child slave SJ by taking him into the jin sect.

or peak lord SQQ "adopting" the kid of the prostitute he used to frequent in his youth.

or even just MY and SJ meeting as kids/teens.

idk i just think they're neat. and they could make each other better. or worse.

[afsosville]

A double whammy!? Here’s a Shen Qingqiu for you !!

[afsosville]

If you had to pick your faves from MXTX's books, who would you pick?

Them (❍ᴥ❍ʋ)

[afsosville]

Dual calamities Qijiu AU save me.... save me Dual Calamity Qijiu...

Yes they are wearing each other's former coats/outer layer and tons of matching accessory and garment pieces why do you ask

Details under the cut/Rambling ahead

Dual calamities AU, post pidw. SJ kills himself on the shards of Xuan Su by swallowing them. Qijiu end up entwined into one ghost amalgamation, their combined regrets hatred spite and resentment and everything creating a nearly supreme/calamity level ghost. They go off indiscriminately murdering in the demon realm in a mindless unaware rampage, consuming ghosts and demons alike and becoming stronger until they are strong enough to be aware once more.

Luo Binghe becomes aware of the new calamity too late, due to his distraction with the Bingge vs Bingmei extra happenings, and ends up regretting it as he fails to catch up to them time and time again, despite attempting to chase down the new calamity that slaughtered half the demons in a mindless rage.

It could go down the Bingqijiu path or be simply Qijiu retreating somewhere to live in peace. Maybe being annoyed later on by Hua Cheng and/or He Xuan, maybe even Bai Wuxiang once. They kick Qi Rong off a mountain once, when he comes to annoy them for the title only to prove that is not a calamity (unfortunately for him, ily stinky green ghost). SJ is gonna have the time of his life roasting his ass. Qi Rong will leave both in pieces and tears.

Their only disadvantage really is that they cannot seperate too much, physically. But I imagine after being in each other's brains after the soul merge they don't particularly care to be (nor would they want to be. This is Qijiu we're talking about.) It's Qijiu's codependant dream. Xuan Su sewed them together and actually they are very very codependant and possessive after everything so this is just fine. They probably even have a Xuan Su blood weapon, that heeds both their commands and calls. While fighting they synchronise, with YQY being the strength and SJ the brains.

I imagine YQY is able to conjure the arrows that pierced him as spiritual projectiles, and SJ chains that bound him in the water prison. Their strength was cultivated by absorbing and devouring other ghosts and demons.

@ace-shenanigans came up with the lovely title "jade dragon stalks bamboo" which is a much better title than I could ever hope to come up with. Thank you for listening to my mad ramblings

I've been wanting to draw and think on this for a while, of how grotesque to make the initial ghost + the later higher cultivation form. But basically the kiln and everything would count them as one ghost, probably a dual title too. They'd be like a myth amongst the realms, retreating to a comfortable mountain peak with bamboo, occassionally off to hunt down slavers.

[afsosville]

Hiii I saw you were doing snippets so I wanted to drop by. Hope you're doing okay <3

Here's an idea: Shen Jiu adopting a spirit wolf. (It's the wolf who adopted SJ but shhh) Maybe SJ managed to get away from WYZ after burning the Qiu's and happened to cross paths with one.

It’s the eyes that he sees first.

Large. Silver. Peering from the shadows where even the hallowed touch of moonlight does not dare to sweep.

He should run.

He cannot.

After so long being deprived of everything but the bare minimum to keep him alive, his body is weak where it counts. He managed to escape the scene of his first murder. He managed to escape the clutches of the demonic cultivator that followed, hoping the drugging flowers he brewed into tea were strong enough to kill the man where his weak hands were not.

He is not stupid enough to believe he can escape the creature before him. Not when he hasn’t eaten in days, and the bones of his leg send fire through him with every jostle. Broken, after a tumble down the jagged ravine in the dark.

Shen Jiu always knew the world hated him- he did not think it so ironic to die like this. A pathetic beast, made a midnight dinner for a wolf.

That didn’t mean he intended to make it easy.

“Bring it on, then,” he hissed into the night, brandishing the largest stick his numb fingers could find. “Do your worst.”

A growl reverberated from the shadows, those bright, unblinking eyes moving as the creature stalked forward, its pelt shining as it stepped out into the light.

It was huge. From the wicked black claws on the tips of each paw to the glinting ivory of its teeth, the wolf was probably as large as a man. It tilted its head up, scenting the hair with a huff.

Even in the low light, Shen Jiu could see the hackles rise.

Shen Jiu braced to swing his branch as fervently as he could, and several things happened all at once.

A flash of steel came at him from one side.

An all too familiar shout echoed in the night.

And the wolf pivoted at the last moment, redirecting its lunge.

Wu Yanzi screamed as the canines of the beast tore into his skin, something dark splattering among the leaves and other debris of the forest floor. The sword he had attempted to fling at the young escapee thudded into the woods, thrown off course, and Shen Jiu pressed himself up against the trees until the painful howling of his latest captor fell to muffled struggles, and then silence.

His stick shook lightly in his hand.

He couldn’t run.

The wolf moved, hard to track in the darkness, with the low rustle of something dragging through the foliage. Away from Shen Jiu.

With a pained gasp, the teen rolled over, and began to drag himself away, claiming the sword that was left amid the roots along the way.

***

There’s a haze that comes with infection. Living on the streets, he’d learned to recognize it well, and now he can tell it’s come to visit him again.

His leg aches, angry and red with purple blotches after a day of struggling through the woods alone. So far, he has had no other trouble- only a brief encounter with a snake that was quickly handled with his stolen steel.

But he’s hungry. And it hurts, every time he struggles to push forward. If he laid his head down for just a moment, surely he can find the will to push further. Just for a moment…

Just… for a moment…

***

The branch whacks him in the face.

He startles awake with a curse, his leg throbbing in agony as he attempts to evade the attack, batting away his attacker with clumsy hands.

Something cracks in the brush above him, and Shen Jiu’s eyes dart up to meet another’s in the fading light of the sunset.

Large. Silver. Cloaked by swaths of sleek, white fur with a dark stripe down its ears and muzzle, and a patch on its forehead that looks strangely similar to a flower.

The wolf.

The great beast leaps from its place overhead, landing without hardly a sound, pacing a slow circle around him, its gaze too focused, too sharp.

“Come to finish the job, have you?” Shen Jiu snarls, baring his teeth. He has a sword now. He still can’t escape, but he could at least try to take the damn thing with him. Even with the dizziness that plagues him, he should at least be able to make it bleed.

He doesn’t expect to wolf to pick the aforementioned branch up in its teeth and throw it at him.

He splutters, throwing a hand up to guard his face even as something soft and smooth brushes against his wrist from within the bundle of leaves. Small white flowers dot the stems, and there, hidden in the center, is a cluster of plums.

Three of them, ripe and nearly bursting with flesh, practically begging to be eaten.

The wolf turns, and lopes away into the trees.

…The juice is sweet, and sticky where it clings to Shen Jiu’s chin.

***

His leg aches. He ignores it as best as he can, limping through the trees. Hunger does not gnaw at him so fiercely, but thirst has made its name known.

He finds a small stream, looking clear and clean enough. His body is weak as he all but dunks his head under, gulping down as much as he can stand without risking throwing it all back up.

After, he lays on the wide rocks of the bank, watching the sky wheel overhead as his body rebels once more.

He feels so hot, and cold, and sweaty, but it’s too dry and if he touches the water too much he’s going to die. Nothing quite makes sense and he can’t quite feel his own body anymore.

He’s so tired.

He wonders if this was the last experience he and Qi-ge would share- dying alone in the woods with no one there to care.

***

He wakes to something warm, and soft.

The scent of the woods surrounds him, pulls him close as his brother once did, whispering sweet dreams of far off freedoms and strength, and for the first time in a long time, Shen Jiu is slow to wake.

Let it be soft. Let it be warm. Let him have this, this one last mercy, before hell finds him once again.

The pulse of something safe, that latches on to that place hidden deep inside him, neither quite flesh nor phantasmal force.

Wu Yanzi had brushed against it, once, when he pretended to be a just and benevolent teacher. The roots that bound his spirit to his body.

His meridians.

He blinks his eyes open, one hand curling tight in the pale pelt that stretches next to him.

He blinks.

The wolf blinks back.

“If you’re going to follow me, that makes you mine,” Shen Jiu croaks. “That means I’m in charge and you have to do what I say.”

The pulse of qi he receives seems to be a happy agreement.

He allows the wolf to wiggle under him, lifting his small form onto its large back as it turns towards the heart of the woods.

He’s tired…

But… His leg doesn’t hurt anymore.

teenage rascals shen jiu and meng yao. them covering for eachother's crimes. meng yao teaching shen jiu to properly cover his tracts. meng yao teaching shen jiu to better handle his anger. Shen jiu not minding being the bad guy in meng yao's plans.

[afsosville]

I like the idea of SJ having that realization of what kind of life he would've led on QJ. I will write this into a fic eventually and I'm gonna play off of the idea that the QJPL wasn't the nicest person out there and was only interested in SJ because it was the YHPL who specifically wanted him. And if the YHPL sees smt in a kid, no doubt the kid is special and capable of greatness. The QJPL wanted to use SJ and mold him into smt he thought would be good for QJ and the sect, even if it would've broken SJ further.

Shen Jiu takes a long good look at the QJPL and has that understanding dawn on him that he could've so easily become the sort of people he despises. And just one glance at his own shizun just cements him wanting to be the opposite of that and is determined to be like his shizun.

Yesss, I definitely want to YHPL to stick around for a bit after Shen Jiu takes over, even tho they're not supposed to. Listen, they just need to make sure their son disciple is doing ok! Heaven can fucking wait.

I'm going torture MF a bit by making him put up with his shizun's and his shimei/shidi's antics.

LBH isn't a disciple on YH I got other plans for him. Plans that also involve suffering heh.

A peak where SJ can be unapologetically feral and unhinged like we all know he itches to be? Fuck yeah. PL & disciple Yin Hui SJ

Thank you to this post for the inspiration. Have these quick sketches as I am traveling this weekend </3

Here are the Calamity Shen Jiu headcanons>>

There’s going to be some ATLA references so be warned.

PIDW is a cultivation setting where demons and humans are the prevalent races, whereas TGCF and MDZS feature ghosts instead of demons as the entity that cultivators and gods exterminate. I’m gonna have to actually do some worldbuilding so I don't have plot holes like Airplane bro.

Luo Binghe's reign over the realms was like a forest fire in the eyes of the heavens. That is one of the reasons why they never interfered with the demonic emperor's tyranny until the very end and let the wheel of fate run its course. To extinguish the current world for a new one to come to life in its place. The human realm is preserved, while the demon realm no longer exists. Demons, demonic/spiritual beasts, and the like have long since died out/were killed or very few of them remain. There is now an abundance of ghosts, spirits, and undead corpses (and everything else that is native to TGCF) as a result of the grave amount of deaths and mass carnage in PIDW. The undead weren't as big of an issue until now. Luo Binghe wiped out the demon population almost to extinction and a good chunk of the human population, cultivators and civilians alike. 

Soooo guess what type of creatures run rampant now? Ghosts!!! Demons become a distant thing of the far past. Come centuries later after a change in the Heavenly dynasty and Jun Wu happened, so did the rise of ghost kings to replace demon lords. 

Ghost kings cultivate all their (resentful) energy themselves to reach the devastation level. They go through their own trials and tribulations, like Mount Tonglu, to become ghost kings. Compared to heavenly demons, whose power is simply given to them at birth, ghost kings are definitely the more powerful beings imo. Not that heavenly demons can't cultivate to become more powerful, but seriously, you think smn who came fresh outta the kiln is smt to scoff at?? 

See, now we have an actual green calamity that is a devastation, not whatever sorry excuse of a calamity Qi Rong is! (Love that green gremlin too tho, but please!) Shen Jiu takes on a different name, and wears darker shades of green, and black. He has Earth centric powers and is an elemental calamity like He Xuan. Think of Earthbenders from ATLA but OP. He’s moving mountains and can create peaks, valleys, canyons, and is responsible for earthquakes with the highest magnitudes. Just hurling landmasses with abandon and slicing through the Earth like no one’s business. Lava/glass bending is also in his domain. Speaking of which, it would be cool if Shen Jiu was the one making the terrain and lanscapes move on Mt. Tonglu, and can also talk to the mountain spirits. He can also give sentience to Earth golems and lava monsters. If Shen Jiu’s ghost king design gives off Kyoshi vibes then I did smt right. I believe Shen Jiu should have access to lethal war fans no matter the AU. Kyoshi controls the elements with her fans, and I’m making that Shen Jiu’s thing too. He can also see through his Earthbending abilities like Toph can.

Fighting a ghost king that can use the very ground you walk on to kill you is terrifying, yes. And worse, you're not safe anywhere, and there's another calamity that rules the goddamn oceans. 

I wanted Shen Jiu’s hair crown to look like a halo for no other reason than making it look like Shen Jiu is mocking the Gods. Plus it looks pretty. He doesn’t have eyes bc, one was plucked out by Luo Binghe ofc, and the other one was burned by the acid in the water prison. I imagine that whenever he talks, his voice echoes in a haunting way and he doesn't even make the effort to move his mouth because he's using his qi to project his voice. Bro doesn’t have a tongue. As for the limbs, they’re made out of stained glass that he managed to temper/regenerate in the kiln. 

I’m thinking… that the name Shen Jiu gives himself is Shen Heishan, meaning dark mountains. Probably. This would be a reference to the burning of Cang Qiong. Also alludes to his Earth-centric abilities.

The death of Yue Qingyuan was what killed him. He swallowed the shards of Xuan Su, and had become a wrath the moment he died. I wanted this to parallel Hua Cheng, when he became a wrath ghost when he saw Xie Lian be pierced by a hundred swords -> Shen Jiu became a wrath when Yue Qingyuan was pierced by ten thousand arrows. 

Shen Jiu is called Jaded Night Shatters Heaven because, just shortly after the kiln, he started a massacre on the current dynasty of gods, under an ethereally lit emerald night sky. I know it was originally White No Face who did the killing and that fact is so cool. Like imagine just slaughtering every single god in existence and rebuilding heaven itself with their fucking remains. On top of taking over as heavenly emperor and fooling all the gods that ascended afterwards??? Absolutely insane. That's pretty much it. I want to see a calamity who’s known for slaughtering a dynasty of gods, and well this AU is about Shen Jiu so let him do it. 

The whole heavenly bridge incident with Bai Wuxiang happened 500 years prior (making Shen Jiu about 1500 years old currently, and the 2nd eldest ghost king), and it was during the events of PIDW and Bingge taking over the two realms did Bai Wuxiang plan on killing all the gods in the middle of all the mayhem. Too bad Shen Jiu got to it first. Bai Wuxiang was silently killing the gods Shen Jiu didn’t in the background. Shen Jiu was just killing indiscriminately in a blind rage, while Bai Wuxiang wanted to kill everyone methodically. Shen Jiu’s resentment is aimed at the heavens bc well, where else? The already charred human and demon realms? Or the third realm that watched the suffering run its course and did nothing to prevent ruination from happening? 

Piggybacking off of Levemetal’s idea, Shen Jiu would be a recluse, not wanting to be involved on any matters involving the ghost realm, and least of all the heavens. He made his point all those centuries ago lol. Yes, everyone keeps their distance from all the ghost kings, but Shen Jiu’s name provokes a whole other level of fear. 

As for weapons, I don't have anything concrete other than the war fans. If Shen Jiu has a blade, whether it be a daggers, a sword, or a scimitar/sabre, they would be forged when Shen Jiu coughs up the shards of Xuan Su. He would imbue the shard(s) with resentful energy to transform them into the blade. 

He could also use chains to fight. The chains are the same ones that held him up when he was being tortured in the water prison. I'm applying the same logic here with Xie Lian's Ruoye. His silk bands became sentient because it was drenched in Xie Lian's blood when it was used to tie him down while getting stabbed a hundred times. Xie Lian's parents also used it to kill themselves and Xie Lian *tried* to kill himself with it and it somehow got cursed with all that death qi/energy. Similarly, the chains from the water prison became poisoned by Shen Jiu's resentful qi, and it allows the chains to do what they want and have a mind of its own. 

And that's it!

I already have an AU with Shen Jiu in MDZS, so ofc I had a TGCF one backed up somewhere too.

I absolutely ADORE your writing style!! Got me feeling the same grief SJ was feeling, and the part where you described what was happening on the mirrors was fucking BRUTALL. But it made the part where LBH showed up all the more sweeter <3 Thank you so much for writing this! Added years to my lifespan! BingJiu being all sweet to each other just fixes smt inside of me yk what I mean shfnfv

SJ having a major emotional crisis abt his life and wanting to change his nighmareish fate, meanwhile LBH is just like, "What?? Like it's hard??" *just fucking throws the book away* LMFAO

Hello! I saw that you were doing drabble requests so I wanted come by and ask for one. It's for and Ever After High PIDW AU! Here's a link to the post>>>

https://www.tumblr.com/afsosville/762244543880003584/ever-after-high-but-make-it-a-pidw-au-imagine?source=share

I'd be great if you wrote the drabble to be like those EAH miniature episodes. The ship I was going for this is a cuter version of Bingjiu. I dont even know if you've seen EAH so I'd get it if you didn't wanna do it! Just putting this in here in case you did jdflhbtjddjf

I was so, so excited to find this in my inbox! I adored ever after high as a child, and so combining my two loves was really too much fun! and, like, this is such an original, fun idea?? yeah, I really am obsessed XD I hope I was able to do it justice<3

(also, just have to say I may have visited your acc and started fangirling a bit, because your art is AMAZING🤍🤍 your bingjiu erha art gave me life! so I feel so very honored to be trusted with your prompt)

Shen Jiu, trembling, holds an ink brush in between white-knuckled fingers. It creaks in his hold, threatening to snap. Shen Jiu hopes it does.

Shen Jiu should have been used to this, others’ hatred. Sudden, unexplained cruelty. But there is something uniquely sick about fate’s tapestry, its threads being woven around your throat like a noose, when all you wish is to breathe like the rest. Shen Jiu never asked for this - of course, he didn’t, because then he wouldn’t have gotten it. The gods have never answered his prayers. No, they laugh at his pleas, their mocking, smiling faces demons skulking in the burning wreckage of all of his dreams. 

The blank, open-faced book sits before him, begging for his name. Begging for the script to be written in his blood. 

The sins of the father become the sins of the son. What a ridiculous, cruel curse. Shen Jiu barely knew his father - this ‘Shen Qingqiu,’ this scourge - and yet, he is meant to follow in his footsteps? And for what? Petty glory? Fleeting satisfaction?

Shen Jiu resents this so-called destiny, resents the fact that it reads like a macabre play. He refuses to play the fool, to be a mere puppet pulled along by its strings, dancing to the beat of war drums and jeers. All around him, mirrors play out sick scenes from his life, predestined and ordained by vicious vultures starved for blood. Shen Jiu watches himself be beaten bloody, battered and bruised, relentlessly, endlessly, night after night with no reprieve. Watches himself cheat and lie and steal just to get by, just to survive another harrowing day. He beholds the monster the mirrors dictate he becomes, that he is. A jealous, spiteful, cruel man who hurts in the way he was hurt, knowing nothing else and never bothering to learn. And then he falls, and his fall from grace is slow, and terrible, and agonizing. He is put on trial before the world, his sins laid bare, flayed open, left raw and shaking as greedy eyes entertain their malaise with the horror of his suffering. And then he is thrown in prison to rot. And rot he does; losing his limbs, his tongue, his eyes, every little piece of himself, his very soul damned to an abyss that this time, will disgorge no survivors. 

No. No, Shen Jiu will not resign himself to this. He refuses it. 

This world has turned its back on Shen Jiu. Why should Shen Jiu agonize over turning his back on the world? Shen Jiu drops the ink brush and steps away from the book, lifting his head to stare defiantly out at the slavering crowd, resisting, unrelenting. Daring the gods who made him this way to contort his body to fit into that ghoulish shape. Shen Jiu will offer no assistance. Shen Jiu will not be a part of digging his own grave. 

The crowd is confused, their bloodlust left unfulfilled. They begin to shout more viciously, cursing Shen Jiu to the heavens, their cries like the howling of wolves. Shen Jiu weathers it, his glare sharpening until it could cut through flesh, to the bone.

Let them curse me, Shen Jiu thinks, biting his tongue bloody. I will not doom myself to this destiny. 

This is a story that will not be told; Shen Jiu refuses to write the words. The hand that held the inkbrush as if it were a weapon slowly curls into a fist.

And then his fingers are being uncurled slowly, carefully, gently. A hand slips into his, their lifelines colliding, fingers fitting together in an embrace. Shen Jiu turns his head to find that it is Luo Binghe who has come to stand beside him, Luo Binghe who is holding his hand, defying the ravenous crowd with a glare of his own. 

Shen Jiu no longer stands alone. 

Luo Binghe raises his other hand, but only to knock the book away, sending it falling down, down into the mob below. Shen Jiu watches this all in a stupefied haze, wondering what the punchline is, when the rug will be pulled out from under his feet. Why would Luo Binghe do such a thing? The boy Shen Jiu is meant to torment and cast into hell? His destiny, unlike Shen Jiu’s, is as bright as the sun, bestowed by the very same gods who have spit in Shen Jiu’s face. 

“It’s all bullshit,” Luo Binghe whispers, because he must be able to see the confusion roiling in Shen Jiu’s eyes. Shen Jiu is hardly trying to hide it. “Why should I resign myself to someone else’s meddling? Why would I want my father’s destiny? He’s always been too overbearing. And just look at where singing that stupid book got him - he’s utterly miserable.”

“Without the book, what do you plan to do?” Shen Jiu asks, attempting to sound disdainful because by all rights this is a hopeless situation - but he can’t suppress the tremor of hope that cracks through the ice in his tone.

“We’ll make our own destiny,” Luo Binghe shrugs, lips curling into a smile that is as ruthless as it is earnest. “It can’t be that hard.”
