诀爱 (Jué ài) Farewell Love

Summary:

Original Mobei-Jun finds Shang Qinghua's body - spinoff from The Hidden Flower (隐花), Chapter 33 False Hearts and Broken Vows

Notes:

Because some (masochistic) ppl asked for a OG!Mobei-Jun's point of view. N because I woke up & chose violence.

For full effect, please listen to Faye - Farewell Love [诀爱] || Love Between Fairy And Devil(OST). You can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UT2fWtJm97s&list=RDX8PBbc_aUkA&index=17

诀爱 (Jué ài) Farewell Love

Mobei-Jun stood silently over the body of his lover as coagulated blood stained his boots and the hem of his white cloak. He vaguely hoped that it would permanently seep into his clothes.

"Get someone to clean it," Junshang said dismissively before striding away, his mood sour ever since he returned after days of disappearance.

Mobei-Jun said nothing, eyes still trained on the unmoving chest. Shang Qinghua laid on his side in a foetal position as if in sleep, if not for his extremely pallid features and unnatural stillness. The human was usually a restless person, even in sleep. Seeing him so still unnerved Mobei-Jun.

The ice demon leaned down and slowly, gently, pulled the cool body into his arms. Rigor mortis was already setting in and Shang Qinghua's limbs were already stiffening in death, but Mobei-Jun ignored all of that.

Returning Qinghua's body to the north where the permafrost was the thickest would preserve the body's integrity and reduce the damage done by rot.

It was the least Mobei-Jun could do now.

***

His uncle was the biggest threat to his position as the King of the North.

With Luo Binghe's support as his Junshang, Mobei-Jun ensured his place upon the death of his father. However, with the support from some of his father's previous vassals, Linguang-Jun continued to pose as a threat to the permanence of his ascension as king. It would only be with either of their deaths that this particular matter would be permanently settled.

Mobei-Jun knew that things would come to a head soon enough, but he had been too foolishly confident in his abilities and his Junshang's support.

When the first assassination attempt happened, Mobei-Jun was fortunately present to stop the hired hitman without cluing Shang Qinghua in. His human had thought that the assassination was aimed at Mobei-Jun, but the ice demon knew better.

His uncle had found out his weakness and was now exploiting it.

He couldn't afford to leave it be anymore.

Unfortunately for him, the rebels were making waves in the South and he couldn't leave without his Junshang's approval, so he resolved to end Linguang-Jun's attempt when he returned.

***

Junshang had been getting worse lately because of the accursed sword.

Because of that, the Southern Palace was constantly on edge and Qinghua's minor mistake in info gathering had them underestimating the number of the rebels and it lost them an advanced platoon.

Mobei-Jun held himself still as Junshang threatened to end his life, knowing that speaking up would only propel Junshang into a worse temper. Qinghua looked at him pleadingly but Mobei-Jun couldn't afford to be moved by his wordless plea.

There was a hidden spy in their fold and Mobei-Jun didn't know who it was. Until he was sure and could present his finding to Junshang, he couldn't afford to say anything.

He could only have patience.

***

"Would you care? If I died?"

The question threw him off momentarily but Mobei-Jun allowed no emotion to cross his expression. 

He couldn't tell Qinghua the truth, not when the threat was so close and Mobei-Jun was about to go into battle with Junshang. It would be better to keep a distance until everything had been taken care of. 

Until then, the red robes he had commissioned would remain hidden in the trunk in his study. 

"Why would I?" he returned as coldly as he could, letting whatever spy eavesdropping on them return to his uncle to report his findings.

 

Then, he left with Junshang to remove the rebels, telling himself that once the threat was eliminated, Linguang-Jun would be next. 

He should have looked back. 

 

But he didn't. 

He had never regretted anything more in his life. 

***

Mobei-Jun sat at Shang Qinghua's bed side, watching as frost slowly enveloped every inch of his former lover's skin, tattooing his countenance with frost flower. 

It was pretty, especially on Qinghua. 

Qinghua had always been afraid to stay at the Northern Palace because it was so cold. Too cold for his human constitution. 

But now, it was this coldness that would ensure the integrity of his body. 

Mobei-Jun wasn't in denial. He had seen it. The extent of Qinghua's injury, which he had bled from. it was obviously self inflicted. 

Which meant that Mobei-Jun had failed to protect him in the way that mattered the most. 

 

He continued to sit there for a very long time, ignoring all that was happening in the palace and the coup that took place under his uncle's leadership. Even going so far as ignoring the summons from the Southern Palace which had devolved into complete chaos upon the discovery of the bodies of the Emperor of Three Worlds and several concubines. 

Here, in the permafrost cave of his ancestors, Mobei-Jun sat with the body of the only person who had ever touched his frozen heart with his sincerity and devotion. 

 

The single tear that fell unseen by any other soul hit the ground with a lonely clink.

End of 诀爱 (Jué ài) Farewell Love

 

“There was something special placed before my eyes but I knew not how to cherish it. Words can’t describe the regret I felt when she was gone. If I am given the chance to meet that girl again, I want to tell her three simple words, ‘I love you’. If my love for her has to have an expiry date, let it be 10,000 years.”

~ A Chinese Odyssey: Cinderella

Notes:

I was listening to the song while writing part two of Shang Qinghua's redemption chapter and I thought that 诀爱 (Jué ài) was the perfect song for the OG couple. TT___TT so i just had to share the misery.

And A Chinese Odyssey is like my most, most favourite HK movie of all time. So I had to use the quote that struck me the hardest and reminded me so deeply of this tragic couple.

Happy Angst! LOL

Soft Boi Hours by Mavzoon

Summary: A fic in which you give Shigaraki some well-earned love and affection and teach him about self-care. The reader is a soft dom when it comes to their dynamics. She has a quirk that makes her immune to other quirks (kinda like Aizawa, but not as useful). The angst is not that angsty in this one. It's just Shiggy not liking himself and you praising the hell out of him.

{One Shot}

Love At First Sight by BelladonnaBear

Summary: The title speaks for itself. Tomura falls in love with you at first sight and wants you.

Do The Dead Still Dream at Night? by vanagas

Summary: You were never too fond of heroes. But you weren't exactly planning on working alongside one of the most notorious villains in Japan, either.

What happens when Tomura Shigaraki finds a person to share his visions with, though? Someone who'll sit alongside him to watch the horizon he'd always dreamed of?

Something nobody expected to happen, that's what.

Super Effective by RexWrites

Summary: A lot of things piss Shigaraki off. One thing that does the exact opposite is Twitch Streamer BL00DII_MARII.

When Giran makes a visit with a new potential member for the League, Shigaraki is stunned when the streamer that has went against all odds and stolen his affection stands before them in the bar.

Kryptonite Divine by hiddenflowers

Summary: Sensei’s voice echoed in his head. “Give her all that she desires, and make her yours.”

Criminals are not Villains by Euleogy

Summary: “Good girl.” You froze, nearly spitting the shake back out. Your eyes snapped open, fear pumping through your veins again as you were met with red eyes, and a face covered in a disembodied hand. You started, jerking backward and then sliding away, using your right arm for stability while cradling your left in your lap. The injury itself was basically gone, but the scar tissue, while calmed down a bit, was tender. You didn’t even want to try lifting it.

“I-I I won’t tell anyone. I won’t breathe a word of this, I swear.”

Just My Type by get-shiggy-with-it

Summary: God what he’d give to see your face, watching, knowing how hard he was for you. He could picture it now: the twinge of shock, the barely disguised pang of want. Maybe you’d be disgusted with him, but really this was all your fault.

This is what you did to him.

---

Or in which you’re a part time transporter for the LoV and Shigaraki just can’t seem to get you out of his head. So much so that he follows you home and jerks it to you changing in front of your window.

Cum On In by a_shy_blueberry

Summary: When Shigaraki lets your name slip, and you slip his, tensions mount till you find him fucking himself in your bed. I.e., You peg the guy and a bunch of other nasty stuff.

One Shot | NSFW

Warm Healer by sanchoyo

Summary: Tomura Shigaraki finds himself bleeding out in an alley after a particularly nasty fight- and you find him there, too.

Can you really fall for someone who's so unlike you, someone so dangerous, while also trying to play it safe and lead a normal life? Can he think of this as more than a side quest and a tool to benefit himself?

A romance with the nation's most notorious leader of a crime organization? It's more likely than you think.

[shig-a-shig-ah]

you got any long shiggy fic recs on ao3?🛐

Oh, do I ever, anon. Long fics are my SHIT.

GRIEFING by rotpeach

A classic. I’m pretty sure this is the original Yandere!Shig fic and is by far the most popular one for him on AO3. Good shit, but reader is underage and the fic hasn’t updated in like two years, so be warned.

[[ save scum ]] by @feral-creep

Can’t recommend it enough! My favorite ongoing fic! Chapter 22 lives rent free in my head every day, and there are times I am physically angered that I did not write some of this stuff! I think I’ve described it before as 'not your mother’s yandere fic’ and I mean it because it is not for the faint heart (srsly: mind the tags), and has a lot of really unique stuff going on including a possibly impending Shigadabi x reader polycule.

A Taste of Your Own Venom by @nonobadcat.

Debately yandere because as Cat says, you can't rape the willing. But it’s got good creep!Shig vibes, and is a really fun, steamy story. On hiatus rn but ended off at a pretty satisfying spot so it doesn't read as super incomplete or anything.

Gamer Boi by girrsah

Really cute slow burn friends-to-lovers sort of thing. (Although don't take the lovers part literally, because there's no smut and I don't think there will be.) But it really is fucking adorable. Also incomplete, but has been updating, albeit slowly.

Look Upon the Light by @palbabor-writes

Really great friends to lovers, and Pal has some of the best Shigaraki characterization, imo. Cannot overstate how much this fic influenced me when I was first getting started writing him because she just really nails our boy. And, it's finished!

Kryptonite Divine by hiddenflowers

A little slow to update, but actively being written and super fucking cute. Starts with Shigaraki posing as a sex worker to get close to you, which is just a galaxy brained concept I will never get over.

Warm Healer by sanchoyo

Fluffy slow burn. Perhaps a little cuter/cheesier than I usually lean as far as my taste in fics, but sometimes that just hits the spot, ya know? And, it's finished with an also complete long-ass sequel fic, so it's very bingeable.

Coin Toss by @firein-thesky

The opposite of warm fluffy vibes. The only fic to ever make me cry. Is really good, but I do not recommend it if you're not down to be devastated. Also complete.

Play Nice by @sugoi-and-spice

Really good scummy Shig that I am still impatiently waiting to have time to catch up on. This one's an OC instead of a reader insert, but it's pretty impeccably written and the smut is SO hot, oh my lord. It did things to me.

Also going to just shamelessly plug my own three long fics: the ongoing Addicted to Bad Ideas, and the completed ones, Paper Skin and Offering.
