Shen Jiu can be Shen Yuan’s older brother who has already graduated. He comes by for a visit and decides to sit in the club for a day, just to see what he’s been doing. Ends up being wildly popular with the girls, much to everyone’s shock, except maybe Shen Yuan.
YES!! I'm tagging @mitchievousness bc it was their idea originally
To make up the age discordance, he could have skipped a grade or two because he was a genius so he graduated first, leaving YQY behind.
(under read more bc it got too long-- almost 1k omg)
While he's drinking tea and comfortable cossing up to the female students, Yqy is pinning from a corner with a pained smile. Sqh would like to schedule more visits for SJ but he's too afraid to ask. There are legends gossip history about SJ's famous bad temper that the school paper once or thrice wrote about when he was a student. At the time of his visit Liu Qingge had to be escorted to avoid a fight and the destruction of Sqh's priced tea sets. SJ doesn't like Luo Binghe bc he sticks to his brother like used bubble gum and it's visually annoying. But he can't do anything except threatening Lbh when he can corner him alone; he wants lbh to leave his brother alone, doesn't he see how much of SY's time he's making him waste? (Lbr it wouldn't be SJ without some slightly toxic behavior) Lbh doesn't take this in a good way, and somehow all his insecurities converge with SJ's harsh words and the fact that SY got a low grade on some test and that surprised everyone (SY was not the perfect student but he was always in the top ten). Lbh hides in the bathroom for the whole afternoon and tries not to cry.
This opens up a subplot where Lbh tries to leave SY alone, spending less and less time with him, until SY catches up something weird is going on and he's the one chasing Lbh around when they aren't at the club, with the latter hiding every time he sees SY. At the club Lbh focuses on working and ends up almost but not quite avoiding SY.
SY would think Lbh is mad at him but he's still receiving Lbh's homemade lunches and snacks so what the hell is going on??
One day SJ visits again and notices that SY is a bit sad. Lbh had mysteriously disappeared they heard SJ coming, but SY didn't think much of it. Then he remarks on the absence of their newest host and his absence and SJ makes some subtly disparaging comment about Lbh and how they shouldn't allow him to skip the club activities if he was getting paid. This was definitely strange and SY had to aks: "Ge, what do you have against him? He's probably in the bathroom."
Sj: "You're defending him even when he's shrinking his work here? No wonder he's like that, with you pampering him so much"
The others didn't paid him attention bc SJ loved to come to the host to criticize from the way they spoke to the guests to the way Sqh prepared the tea to the clothes they choose to wear. Sqh was glad that SJ had skipped two grades and left Ouran for good, otherwise he'd have to contend with this on a daily basis.
But SY's instincts screamed at him that something was wrong and that Lbh's strange and avoidant behavior had started after SJ's last visit. He was also aware of what his brother was capable of, like for example, scaring of that he deemed "unfitting" to be SY's friends; it had happened a lot in the past. So SY confronts him, gets the truth out of him, and dramatically storms of the club in search of Binghe.
After almost two hours of running up and down their frankly too big of a school he finds Lbh sitting sad and alone on the roof of the maintenance building almost at the back of the school (lbh used to hide there from bullies). SY has had to run and power walk and climb stairs for so long he almost faceplants on the floor when he sees him, and he's panting like he's run a marathon.
If they were better at communicating they would actually articulate all their feelings— but that's not the case. SY is so relieved that he throws himself at Binghe and hugs him. Lbh's voice cracks "Yuan-Yuan-ge...?" and SY hugs him tight. Finally Lbh rests his hands on SY's back, and SY says in a low voice
"How long are you going to keep avoiding me?"
"I don't... I don't want—"
"Then don't do it. You should do whatever you want. Whatever... makes you happy."
Lbh cries "Yuan-ge!" and makes them topple backwards. SY "Ow"s from hitting his head, but that doesn't stop them from (platonically) clutching and then cuddling each other until they both stop crying. (SY was not crying per se but. His eyes got a bit wet okay?!)
Annd that would be the end of this little arc. SY reprimands SJ for saying those thing to Lbh and bans him from visiting the club until further notice. Sqh is secretly glad, even if it means less money.
Yqy walks SJ to the school gates,
SJ: "You should be glad, I won't be bothering your little club with my presence anymore."
YQY's smile doesn't reach his eyes. "That's not true at all."
SJ: "Really? You're not going to scold me for what I did?"
YQY: "I think your brother took care of that already."
SJ: "Hmph. Whatever you say. I'm going."
SJ goes around in flashy sport car that is as obnoxious as you can imagine. I'll let you decide the color. YQY follows out until SJ is opening the driver's door.
"I'll go visit you," he says in a hopeful voice.
SJ says another "Do whatever you want", closes the door with a bang and speeds up.
Yqy watches him go until he disappears in the distance. A shojo like breeze blows by. From a bush, Lmy and her cohorts furiously take notes.
#svsss#svsss ouran host club au#ask zy#anon sorry for the long rambling answer this is a mess#the more shojo tropes the better tbh#if u didnt picture SY's search for lbh with a dramatic violins&piano music in the background slowing growing into crescendo u did it wrong#bingqiu#qijiu#zykamiliah posted this#zykamiliah svsss

For HX/LQG, a modern!Au might work best, if only because the canons are so hard to mesh. Your B99 casting already seems like a plot. But if you don't want to write a cop AU, maybe a Leverage!AU - HX is out to ruin the person who destroyed his life, LQG is the hitter, HC is the grifter, HX is the mastermind, SY is the hacker, and LBH is the thief. XL is another victim of SWD and the client. No one on the team knows HX's also gunning for SWD for personal reasons.
EJLAKJSDNLFKJANSLDKF FUCKING HELL ANON YOU'RE GENIUS???
HX's been screwed out of everything by this invisible capitalistic force. He's not trying to be, but he's a little down in the dumps. He's a force of nature, but that doesn't change the fact that he's running through the shitty back alleys of the world getting into trouble and half on the prowl for vengeance, half hoping something would come down and kill him already.
XL's another entity running the same circles, though with a lot more ethics. HX has mixed feelings about the guy, but they interact sometimes. They do each other quiet little favors. They come to understand each other as good men, except XL's bottom line always holds and HX has a bottom line that he'll rip out with his bare and bloody hands the moment he figures out who's to blame for the death of his entire family.
One day, XL brings HX a contact—Nie Huaisang. Says the kid just lost his older brother and is apparently getting completely screwed out of the family business. XL would help, but he has a prior obligation out of town, in Banyue, and so maybe HX can look into it? NHS has money, he can pay.
HX takes the case since he has nothing better to do (also, it was the anniversary of his little sister's death, and nobody would call him a soft touch but on occasion, his immense anger can lead to good deeds). NHS is sniffling and useless but the one lead he does have is an acquaintance, a friend even, who runs in the socialite circles, named Shi Qingxuan.
HX follows the lead, a.k.a. stalks SQX for a solid month. He realizes two things. 1) SQX knows way too many people, but among the hundreds he interacts with there's a solid handful of Bad Dudes, and 2) SQX almost definitely does not know it, the little fool. Why would a 2nd gen rich kid cross paths with the likes of Xue Yang? Jin Guangyao? The Palace?
So HX traces all the money back to one name: Shi Wudu.
In the process, he also finds the slaughter of his own family. Investments in bad pharma (killed HX's parents), willful negligence of workplace safety (poisoned and killed HX's sister), Ivy League schemes (stole HX's entire academic future), and of course the classic, being chairman for the insurance company that let HX's fiancee die. Like, you name it, SWD's done it. It was like SWD woke up, chose to play god one day, and said "screw this guy in particular."
And now it's fucking personal. HX heads out and collects the best people he knows for each job (it wasn't like he could clone himself, as much as he'd like to). They were all lone wolves, but that's fine, so is HX. He'd pay them an exorbitant fee for a one-time job and they could all be on their way.
The easiest one to get hold of was Shen Yuan, with the real shit internet alias that HX would never say, thank you very much. SY almost doesn't take the job the moment he hears it's a group effort (too much potential to exposure! people who do his line of work ought to stay anonymous as much as possible!), but HX simply tells him LBH, most famous thief of the criminal underworld, was coming. SY agrees.
HX reaches out to LBH after that and says hey, your favorite little partner on the digital front is taking my job. you want in? LBH immediately says yes.
For the hitter, HX's initial plan was FX or MQ, whoever responded first (and if he told each of them the other was thinking about it, they'd both respond within the hour), but SY goes "nah dude, just use my guy. You heard of Baizhan?" and everybody's heard of what went down at Baizhan so HX agrees. LQG is hired on, frowny and punchy and quiet, which was perfectly fine by HX.
That leaves their grifter. HX thinks about it, and tells the team they were going after one of. SWD's subsidiaries's subsidiaries. The guy in charge is called Pei Su. HX outlines something that looks like it will very much work, but at the very last moment, calls LQG in private, hands him a check with a ton of zeroes on it, and tells LQG to drop the ball in his leg of the mission. They were going to intentionally fail this job—the idea is, once XL gets word that they'd fucked up (and HX probably has to get injured a little), he'd feel bad enough to send his San Lang to their aid, and Hua Cheng's the best grifter HX knows, including himself.
But LQG just scowls and throws the check away, saying this is exactly why he doesn't take group jobs, all this bullshit underhandedness, take your nonsense somewhere else, he's pulling out (and probably convincing SY, and thus LBH by their web of causality, to go with him).
His dismissive attitude pings HX in just the wrong way. For a moment he understands that LQG is looking at himself the same way he looks at people like JGY and SWD—manipulative and full of political nonsense. He's so goddamn angry that he snaps about it.
LQG also tells HX that he, along with bingyuan, also already know that he's gunning for something else here. Why would fucking Black Water pull out all the stops for one tiny job? So until HX tells them what's actually going on, LQG is fucking gone.
HX tackles him to the ground. A brawling match ensues.
LQG may be a hitter, but HX is also very, very good. They kind of beat each other to a pulp, and LQG seems weirdly pleased by the end of it. "More honest than the shit you've been spewing," he scoffs.
As they sit there in the rented apartment-HQ, nursing their wounds, HX ends up telling LQG about his family. Not in an extended or pitiful way, just the facts.
"Was that so damn hard?" LQG complains. "So SWD must die. I'll throw the fight."
HX wasn't trying to be grateful here, but. But he can appreciate a staunch and straight-shooting man.
LQG throws the fight (but tells SY about the plan ahead of time), and they've almost "failed" the job successfully—when this dude in red suddenly appears. Speaks to the security in charge, drops a few important pieces of evidence. Resolves the entire situation with fake lawyer credentials. Pei Su is arrested. The man in red disappears.
HX takes the team back to HQ with gritted teeth, and is not surprised at all to find Hua Cheng waiting for them.
"If your plan was to emotionally blackmail Dianxia," HC says smoothly, "then think again. Black Water, you just made the biggest mistake of your life."
LQG is about to take point, but HX pulls him back.
"And what mistake is that?" HX monotones. HC just smirks and cocks his head to one side.
"You hired me."
#leverage AU#mxtx#sorry it took me so long to reply sldkfjnsdlf#but holy shit this is such a brilliant casting you're a genius#HC is about to be such a fucking little shit#and bingyuan are about to have the most disgusting office romance on the show#HX calls LQG out for pining#LQG's like stfu#they brawl more about it#and slowly slowly they fall in love#HX comes to look toward LQG as a moral compass#and LQG likes nothing more than someone who could wield him well#long post#(apologetic)

a word about my life as an acafan
so, lurking on my own blog, just taking a look at my fanfic tag i found this post of mine where i explained that i was almost crying because i was going to study fanfiction. i was over the moon because, for once in my life, i legit cared with all my heart and soul for the object of my research and i was incredibly happy and overwhelmed - it brought even a few tears ngl
i saw the date i posted it and it has been a little more than 2 years ago.
2 years since i became a legit acafan and man lemme tell you that naty had no idea where it would take her!
that mentor i got? i stopped doing research with him. and no, he wasn’t an asshole to me. just my research changed so much that i reached a point where his kind of expertise wasn’t what i needed, so i had to go. and i left and a couple of days later my favorite professor accepted to be my mentor. never been more happier since then.
i presented in two academic events about the construction of romance in mlm fanfiction using first stucky and then merthur fic. the first one, the stucky one, was a nightmare and i hated my presentation because 20 minutes weren’t enough to explain my research. the merthur one was way better, but still not what i wanted to do. but both presentations were things i had to go through, so i could understand what i actually want to research, what i wanted to do. my research now is to decode the famous ‘this looks like a fic’ into academic speech. i am settling myself to a lifetime workload but i’m ready to step into these shoes - but know i have a web of supportive people. also, it means i’m coming back soon to @fanstudiesnetwork and i actually have a functional blog and not just for personal satisfaction, but for actually needing a space to talk about my work.
i met @sunshvness and she became a good friend and my partner in all acafan things. learning korean was what brought us together (yes, i am learning korean shush!), but now we are stuck together thanks to our amazing matching taste in all bl things (and not bl too lbh) and cause we both research about fandom. it’s really amazing to have someone to share the workload guys!
and, best of all, with her i’m making a course about fan studies! we will give an introductory course about fan studies in our uni!!!! i’m so???
and i did all of this in two year??? holy shit guys! i’m in a complete different stage i expected in my life, but it’s incredible and i love it!
and it seems i’m here back for good! all the time i’ve been online in the last week i spent here?? so yaaaaaaay i am back bitches and i missed it here!

Just Another Scum Villain prompt
So I just got this idea and I can’t get it out of my head. But I really, kind of, sort of want to read a disabled SQQ story.
Now, hear me out. We know it is canon that cultivators and demons almost never get sick and injuries heal very fast, hell, demons can even regrow lost limbs, no problem. But I don’t remember a single instance when there was someone blind, deaf or mute. So here are several ideas that sprung because of this.
First one is about disbaled SY. This idea I like the least because I don’t like to hurt my dense baby like that. But imagine if on top of transmigration SY also had to deal with a loss of one of his senses? How would that affect his decisions? His perception of the world around him and the people?
Another though fluffier take on this AU is that SY was disabled one from the very beginning and so when the System brought him over it messed up and now everyone has to deal with the “fact” that Qi deviation stole not only SQQ’s memories but also one of his senses.
SY is more or less fine because he has been dealing with it his whole life, it is nothing new. But the rest of his sect? His martial siblings? His students? Not so much.
Cue overprotective Cang Qiong Sect losing its shit, going into full-blown mother-hen mode and taking care of SQQ and SQQ wondering why everyone are so weird and different from the book, but gamely accepting the affection.
Being the second youngest child in a loving family and being as he is, he is used to such attitudes from people around him. He doesn’t know that the fact that he just meekly accepts their smothering freaks them out even more and dials the protective mother-henning up to 1000. Lots of potential fluff there as well as angst. (Also LBH might just lose his best weapon to wrangling SQQ: his teary puppy eyes won’t work on blind SQQ.)
The last idea is about disabled SJ. What if Qiu family left some permanent damage beyond psychological and emotional? How would Qi-ge react once he realizes that while he was not there to protect him, his beloved Xiao Jiu became blind/deaf/mute?
Cue yandere overprotective YQY who can and will cut a bitch for SJ. The whole thing would increase his guilt by a lot, but it would also serve as a straw breaking the camel’s back. Unlike canon YQY who can only throw guilty looks and say I’m sorry, this YQY is proactive. He actually gets off his ass and acts.
How would SJ’s disability affect the story? Without his famous venomous tongue, how would he act? If he cannot see or hear how would he act? What would his relationship be with LBH if he can not see him, or hear him? If he can not spit out his poisonous words and insults?
Also LQG, I remember that there was a moment when young LQG publicly humiliated SQQ berating him on his spotty cultivation, on his dirty fighting, saying that he was lazy to start cultivating so late. And no one spoke in SQQ’s defence.
Now imagine that scene keeping in mind a few things. LQG assumed that SQQ is a rich young master and hypocritically, not knowing his situation, judged him. But... for SJ fighting dirty meant living long enough to see another day, he had no choice on when to start cultivating. Unlike LQG who WAS actually a rich brat born with a silver spoon in his mouth and provided the best tutors since childhood.
Now imagine the same scene, but LQG doesn’t know that SJ is disabled and finishes his tirade with something along the lines of “So, still keeping your mouth shut? You don’t even have anything to say for yourself.” or “See?” or something like that.
Then turning around expecting to see agreeing nods and approving faces... only to see utterly appalled looks he is getting. And this YQY speaking up and telling him exactly how wrong he is.
I also believe that having to deal with a disability would affect both SY and SJ’s personalities and I wonder in which way? What hurricanes would this butterfly cause?
There is a great blind!Shen Jiu fanfiction by Invidia Envy called "Dark Clouds" check it out.

Love Key #1 - Kirumi Tojo
First up is......
winner winner chicken dinner
and a back massage
and laundry folded and bed made
and clothes steamed and pressed and -
Is it bad I was hoping for a guy first 8′D I wasn’t sure who I was gonna get. I knew it was random, but I guess the rule is as long as they’re alive it’s free game so other than Rantaro and Kaede I had my pick of the bunch.
awkward i think she heard me
I know this is standard introductory text that’ll probably appear every time but I can’t help but think Shuichi has already been sneaking off here when I wasn’t around controlling him 8′/ shouldn’t have won that man’s passion gun or w/e it was called I suppose
SHE IS ALWAYS WEARING A FRENCH MAID-STYLE OUTFIT HINT HINT HINT SHUICHI
Master already? oh my
Shuichi I am incredibly concerned about how, um, tall your ahoge got after she called you ‘master’.
“Oh boy this is both weirder than I thought it would be and not as weird as I was worried it would be. I am incredibly conflicted right now.”
I mean all things considered wouldn’t she feel more terrible if she found out later that she was basically sleep-fantasizing in front of you??? Or has Monokuma set up some trippy brain-signal thing ala whatever headset machine we’ve seen flash through those ‘flashback light’ segments to make them completely fall apart?
Shuichi you poor misguided fool
oooh unexpected world-building backstory for the throwaway fantasy
I’M INCREDIBLY EMOTIONALLY INVESTED IN OUR SHARED FANFIC
“i’m taking all the silverware with me and I left rotting fish in the vents. your father was an asshole, fuck’im”
Can we just take some time to note how invested Shuichi is getting in acting out the fantasy. Like, he is taking this gravely seriously right now. Goddamn.
ARE YOU ONLY NOW JUST COTTONING ONTO THE CONCEPT OF THE WHOLE PLACE
YOU LITERALLY USED A ‘LOVE KEY’ TO GET IN HERE
aaah honey you can’t excel at everything
PAUSE BUTTON
Are they the same age in her fantasy? They’re the same age in the real world - how old would that mean she was when she started the fantasy-maid job? 11? Younger? Was she just born into the job like Peko was in the last game?
Could she possibly be a little bit older? Not too much, but maybe a year or so? They gave her an older sounding voice but that’s just to fit in her type, right? So how was she supposed to nurture him when she was growing alongside him? What if she wasn’t naturally matronly when she was thrown into this job at a young age?How did Shuichi’s father expect this to work out?
WHY AM I DEDICATING SO MUCH BRAINPOWER TO THIS CANON FANFICTION
okay, unpause now
Aw man this is a classic trope - maid/servant to master. One I don’t mind, though ~
i’m sorry I’m about to ruin a serious moment because I immediately thought of how Hercule Poirot was in the Orient Express film and I actually loved him and the way he talked to people, but I know the moment you click on this link looking at his face you will be distracted by his mustache
I just
I do love the gentleman detective character
With the last decade or so of asshole!detective (basically subset of the asshole genius trope lbh) especially popularized by House and Sherlock we don’t see much of it anymore and while there isn’t anything wrong with that type of character it’s.... nice to have a detective/smart character that isn’t an asshole/standoffish???
Kirigiri was good at heart in the end but was very much the quiet/cold girl for most of it and Komaeda is.... well, Komaeda...
Naegi and Hinata are the audience stand-ins and while they do investigating for the sake of us having interactive gameplay, they don’t really detect and have the same grand epiphanies detectives are known for.
Nanami may be the closest DR has gotten to a truly kind detective??? But tbh she ended up falling under ‘peace-loving robot’ trope instead which is its own thing.
THIS IS JUST A VERY LONG WAY OF ME SAYING SEEING THESE TWO LINES TOGETHER REMINDS ME OF WHY I WAS EXCITED ABOUT SHUICHI OFF THE BAT BEFORE HE EVEN BECAME THE PROTAG
anyway
So I’m not neglecting Kirumi in all of this, the fact that Kirumi is picking up on this aspect of Shuichi and appreciates it says a lot about her as well and what she finds admirable in other people
Shuichi is going to combust from the heat about to burst from his cheeks right now I don’t think the boy has been showered with so much praise in his life
KNOW YOUR PLACE
.... Now that I think about it, weren’t his parents famous actors or something in America? Maybe they could afford a maid. I wonder if they would be proud of him like his uncle is.
Aaaaand the sadder part of the trope... if you’re so taken by his generous smile to those in unfortunate situations, wouldn’t his ability to empathize with others in so-called lower positions be something to encourage? I guess when you get to the higher echelons of society there’s power that can be compromised if you start uh... well it’s an inelegant way to put it, but ‘slum it with the commoners’, but you would think being able to get along with everyone would be something to encourage.
Then again I’m a bleeding heart so what do I know
.... Shuichi I just wasted five minutes trying to put that into words, how dare you show me up in a single sentence
WHAT
OH NO
I CAN’T SCREENSHOT SOUND BUT SHE MADE THE SADDEST CRYING NOISES RIGHT NOW
goddamnit shuichi you broke her
AAAAAAAAW
GODDAMN SHUICHI YOU SMOOTH FUCKING GENTLEMAN

MAN you know it just occurred to me how much it would suck to get a title like “Ultimate Maid’ because just by having it, you’re already being put under people.
Like man, you’re still an ultimate. You should be able to command some respect, and be able to demand it for yourself too!
Okay if all of the hotel scenes go like this these are going to be great!
.... They’re totally not going to be, are they. I’m preemptively blaming Miu and Kokichi.

you know what i want? i want more tattoos in hp. i see so little of it and just...give me more.
give me james potter with brightly colored sleeves and probably sappy things like his and lily’s wedding date and harry’s birthday
give me sirius black with tattoos that stand out harsh against his skin, sirius black addicted to them, sirius black feeling the itch for another days after the last one
give me remus lupin with tattoos covering all his scars, with magically infused tattoo ink so that if he rips through his skin (as he so often does when transformed) the tattoo knits itself back together, no damage done
give me peter pettigrew nervous for his first one but then getting tattoo after tattoo because sitting through that, it proves that he’s brave and strong
give me lily evans with beautiful watercolor tattoos across her shoulders, her ribs, lily evans developing new inks that dont fade, that are healthier, that contain all kinds of magical properties, lily evans sketching out designs for new tattoos in her notebooks
give me hermione granger with the words of famous authors and poets and wizards scrawled across her skin in her handwriting, ron’s, harry’s... hermione granger with a little map across her ribs and belly that shows all the places she’s been
give me ron weasley with a crowned lion on his chest because he’s not second best, weasley is our king, after all, ron weasley with his children’s doodles tattooed on his arms and legs and back, ron weasley with lbh probably a chudley cannons logo somewhere too
give me harry potter with a snitch that flits across his body, sometimes coming to rest in his hand like he caught it, harry potter with some kind of memorial tattoo because so many died and he can’t bear the thought that a second will go by where someone doesn’t feel their loss
just give me all the tattoos guys
