#liuqijiu

[sunderwight]

Considering how popular Qijiu and Liujiu are as a ships, and that a lot of people seem to headcanon Liu Qingge as having at least crushed on Yue Qingyuan for a while, I'm surprised there aren't more throuple/OT3 fics for them.

I mean not actually because it would be such a bad idea. They would have so many problems. There would be so many hurdles, like even just getting two of these guys to hookup usually involves some degree of truth serum or cosmic intervention or fuck-or-die scenarios, but embroiling all three of them in something like that would just let their bizarro brain worms thrive. Each of them is convinced that they are somehow the third wheel. Shen Jiu thinks that the only thing stopping Liu Qingge from plotting to kill him is that he's not clever enough to plot, and that Yue Qingyuan is enduring his inclusion under sufferance of guilt. Liu Qingge thinks that Shen Jiu is definitely actively plotting to kill him to get him out of the way, and that Yue Qingyuan is enduring his inclusion under sufferance of guilt. Yue Qingyuan is sure that any day now Liu Qingge and Shen Jiu are going to figure out that they're actually perfect for one another and then eject him from the polycule. They are all not speaking to each other but also regularly having furniture-shattering sex. Despite everything, the sex improves their dispositions so much that none of the other peak lords dare to intervene.

wrote a new liuqijiu fic! It was beta read by the lovely @circus-complex

its on ao3 here and wattpad here!

here's the art!

[unfotp]

how uh very Airplane of you

[marquisguyun]

Oooh a new svsss ask game!

Yes, i'd like to ask:

1, 10, 5, and 24 🤔🥺

Hi, tysm for the ask!

If you were to be one of Binghe's wives- what would you want to be known for by the PIDW fandom?

Honestly I have a really hard time imagining myself in that situation, it's so foreign to my personal experience... I would probably fade into the background. Maybe I could get into sewing and embroider really nice clothes? That would be cool

5. Who do you ship? Is this your usual favorite ship dynamic?

Oh this is a fun question!! I have so many ships! Here are a few that I really enjoy:

Bingqiu

Qijiu

Bingjiu

Shencest

Bingyuan

Jiuplane

Bingqijiu

Qijiuplane

I also have huge respect for Moshang as a canon ship, I just don't tend to seek out fanworks of it. Unfortunately I do not control what I get brain worms about. Other ships I have read and enjoyed but didn't feel made the list: Cumplane, Bingliushen, Liushen (highly dependent on how binghe is handled unless it is a major au), LiuJiu, LiuQiJiu (which I've actually written for) As for how my SV ships compare to my usual types? Idk man, there are a lot of different vibes here, so I'm not sure what my "usual favorite ship dynamic" is... I'm sure there are trends in my favorite ships, but also I'm just a huge multishipper who likes to experiment with different pairings and sometimes gets attached

10. How do you feel about Shen Jiu?

lmao

He's exactly the kind of character I tend to latch on to. I'm a sucker for an interesting tragic backstory. I'm not going to pretend I'm not biased or that I'm not guilty of woobifying him on occasion (I have a bad habit of glossing over the cultivation manual incident.) I do try to ground my characterization in canon. But overall my feelings are very positive!

24. If you had to be a disciple, which sect would you wish to join?

I'm going to be biased and say CQMS. The digging holes entrance test would probably stress me out tho because I wouldn't know if I was doing it right. I'm not sure which peak I'd want tho. Younger me would definitely fit in on Qing Jing with its emphasis on scholarship/art, but I'm pretty burnt out at this point.

[touchmycoat]

RUBBERDUCKING

SO. we want YQY involved, and the way to do that is for LQG to get in the middle of the Secret, a.k.a. YQY got himself 98% dead as a kid trying to save SJ and it’s not that he didn’t try, it’s that he’s failed, and he doesn’t believe SJ needs to know that because either way it’s his fault and if he tells SJ that’s basically emotional manipulation isn’t it :^)

Mini-timeskip. It’s a month since the qi deviation. YQY’s actually a little excited because liujiu’s relationship has always been defined by LQG’s judgment of SQQ and SQQ’s refusal to explain himself. Now, there’s circumstantial evidence that LQG believed himself to be in the wrong this time? Because he didn’t fight back when SQQ tried to kill him. Does that mean there’s an incoming change to their relationship?

He needs to figure out what happened (and SQQ won’t tell him shit). LQG’s shut himself away in meditation (he’s processing) and YQY waits a bit impatiently for him to get out. At this point the liuqi relationship is one of trust and loyalty. They work well together in a way where they know how to play roles complimentary to each other: LQG can be the bad cop to YQY’s good cop or the enforcer to YQY’s affably dangerous mastermind. YQY assumes LQG will just tell him what happened; he doesn’t expect resistance.

But resistance is what he gets. "Did SQQ not tell you?” He heads for Qing Jing, YQY in company trying to assimilate this new information. He’d assumed LQG said or did something to offend SQQ, but now LQG’s actions imply there are additional factors of shame or secrecy that SQQ hasn’t shared. That would make sense alone because SQQ never shares anything, but the fact that LQG is choosing to respect that?

Does LQG know something about SQQ that YQY doesn’t?

That’s the mindset YQY has at the start of the confrontation. SQQ sees LQG—immediate storm clouds. “Surely our last parting can clue Liu-shidi in on the fact that he should never show his face in front of me again?”

LQG, post-extensive meditation, goes: “If you think I’ll somehow use it against you, I can vow that I won’t.”

YQY’s even more alarmed as his suspicions are confirmed: LQG unintentionally witnessed something vulnerable about SQQ. That explains SQQ’s murderous rage and LQG’s retreat.

SQQ goes dark sided and draws Xiu Ya. He and LQG clash, but—

LQG: what’s wrong with you?

SQQ, teeth gritted: go to hell.

But YQY understands—what LQG means is that there’s something wrong with SQQ’s cultivation. YQY watches with increasingly tension.

SQQ: Why is there someone like you in this world, always getting in my way and trying to trip me up?! (attack, something) I’ll kill you.

LQG: With that kind of cultivation?

It’s an intentional taunt meant to throw SQQ’s control. It works. LQG spots the place where bad qi is congested and moves in to attack/remove it.

YQY catches his wrist and stops him. It hurts. YQY looks dangerous.

YQY says nothing as he releases LQG’s (red) wrist. LQG warily steps away. SQQ is stunned but desperately trying not to look it.

YQY turns to him, all concerned gentle zhangmen-shixiong again.

“That must be built up from last time. Qingqiu-shidi, it’s best that we see to this as soon as possible. Mu-shidi is away at the moment, but from the looks of it, I have some experience with such qi blockages. May I? I don’t mean to push but such a blockage can really be quite dangerous for the practitioner and harmful for continued cultivation—”

“Alright.”

(The gentle nagging is even more confounding because both SQQ and LQG are still very aware of LQG’s bruising wrist.)

YQY settles behind SQQ and begins soothing out the qi blockage. Part of SQQ wants LQG to leave but what if the deviation happens again? If LQG is still around then YQY can’t go full Qi-ge in public, so SQQ grits his teeth and bears it. LQG also doesn’t move to leave because he sees the safety of his fellow Peak Lords through no matter what.

It’s okay for a little bit. Then YQY frowns. Then there’s some blood-spitting, and LQG is jumping in to help out YQY.

(YQY tries to get rid of the whole thing from SQQ, which works, but then it folds itself into him. He’s trying to force it out by brute force but the tangle has caught onto Xuan Su’s spiritual energy in YQY’s body.)

LQG senses this connection as he adds his spiritual energy to YQY’s. Frowning, he reaches for Xuan Su, thinking either getting rid of it as a conduit on YQY’s person or drawing it just a little bit to force the tangle out would work. Unexpectedly, YQY grabs him again and forces LQG to stop.

SQQ only sees the aftermath. He does not know Xuan Su had just become part of the equation.

“Apologies Liu-shidi, that was remiss on my part. Here’s a lesson to us all huh, better leave medical procedures like this to Mu-shidi!”

YQY is trying to distract. LQG lets him, goes along with it. Without knowing the details, SQQ still very much knows something is going on.

“The blockage is all cleared now. Qingqiu-shidi should rest.”

“I’ll see you back to Qiong Ding,” LQG. YQY nods.

“Then I’ll be troubling—”

“That’s it? Didn’t Yue-shixiong want Liu-shidi and I to work things out, patch things up?”

“You started the fight,” LQG reminds him. SQQ smiles thinly.

“So I did. But I’m now ready to conduct a conversation, provided Liu-shidi is amenable to temporary civility. Won’t you join me for tea?”

“Liu-shidi.”

The undercurrents are clear: LQG knows something about SQQ that YQY wants to know and something about YQY that SQQ is suspicious about. YQY is asking for LQG’s loyalty to him first, and SQQ’s expression is slowly darkening as he thinks he’s lost this fight.

LQG, however, says: “I’ll come back later.” It’s a surprise to SQQ and YQY both because that’s acquiescence—that’s LQG saying okay let’s talk this out.

While it doesn’t necessarily compromise LQG’s loyalty to YQY, it’s also ambiguous about it. SQQ says nothing in response. LQG and YQY go.

[imaginaryelle]

AU where Shen Jiu and Liu Qingge bond over critiquing other people's performance at annual reviews and realize they can judge other people together, thus forming a bond that transcends their personal dislike for each other in the name of shared arrogance.

The world may never recover.

[i-like-danmei-ig]

@jade-len I am quite embarrassed actually, the reason I like it bcs of a liuqijiu fic (modern AU) where Yue Qingyuan hooks up with Mo Ran but like, I think their personalities would go nicely together. Them being soft for each other makes me happy, because while ranwan and qijiu are GREAT, I just like the idea of both yue qi and mo ran being a relationship with a person who'd never hurt them. and the potential for domestic fluff is insane and I love it. I do like your take on them though! I will contemplate them more and tell you if I come up with more!

Also on the topic of shen jiu x xie lian! I just think Shen Jiu deserves good things and the idea of Xie Lian getting through to Shen Jiu's toughly guarded heart and Shen Jiu not caring about Xie Lian's reputation, because in his eyes, Xie Lian is the kindest person who doesn't see Shen Jiu as a burden or a monster, and begrudgingly Shen Jiu realizes he's developed /feelings/.

hold on i wanna know what are your guys' most random, completely unprompted svsss ship pairings are and defend how it could actually work or why it's interesting or whatever

and when i mean random i don't mean "ah hehe! side couple liujiu!" random, i mean "dommy mommy su xiyan with motherless and heartbroken shen jiu!?!?" random

like. please. i genuinely wanna know. write paragraphs if you need to because i am reading allat and this is a judgement free zone!!!

[acernor]

What are some of your wips? If it’s okay for me to ask.

i mean... u mean like ones that will actually get written, or random notes that i took that may never see the light of day? cause it’s a whole mess in there bro lol

but i owe somebody some ranwan and somebody some... liuqijiu... which may be lesbian flavored... so those are the most likely to get written hahaha, DCOD IS NOT ABANDONED, I HAVE THE OUTLINE, and laid to rest is still in progress

i also have something in my drafts that may never get written, but the title is... liubingqiu gay chicken and it cracks me up every time i see it... ahhhh maybe someday!!!

I Only Ever Want to Stay by Your Side

This fic is a little special - when I saw @i-like-damei-ig's art for G4G, I KNEW I needed to write something based on it. I'm not technically a creator for it, but whoever requested this prompt gets a bit of extra food! It was so fun to write :3

Rating: General

Relationships: Liu Qingge/Yue Qingyuan/Shen Jiu

Characters: Liu Qingge, Yue Qingyuan, Shen Jiu

Yue Qingyuan and Liu Qingge bring Shen Jiu into the woods to have a serious discussion about their relationship.

Inspired from art by my beloved friend, Feya!

Also on AO3

Full work under the cut

“Xiao-Jiu!” Yue Qingyuan tugged at Shen Jiu’s arm. The Qing Jing peak lord was grading students' papers. The sect leader had been bothering him for the past hour, urging him to take a break.

“Come on! Let's go for a walk!”

“Hmph. Let me finish this first,” Every time Yue Qingyuan pestered Shen Jiu, he added another minute to his mental timer.

“Please!” Yue Qingyuan whined. He tugged on his arm again, but softly enough so that he wouldn’t smudge the ink.

“Fine,” Shen Jiu set his brush down. “Where do you want to go?”

Yue Qingyuan smiled and didn’t say a word. He guided Shen Jiu outside, and through the forest.

“So, are you going to tell me where we’re going?”

“Nah,” Yue Qingyuan shook his head. “It’s a surprise”

After walking for fifteen minutes, Yue Qingyuan stopped.

Two trees stood before the pair. Strung between them were soft lights, glowing a faint yellow. They were made of the same material as Shen Jiu’s automatic lights, but smaller. They cast a soft glow on the man standing beneath the trees. Liu Qingge.

He was beautiful, basking on the light. His hair, pulled back into a ponytail, swayed with a soft breeze.

“Shen Jiu, I know we didn’t get along much at first,” Yue Qingyuan moved from beside Shen Jiu to stand next to Liu Qingge.

“And I know that our start was rocky Xiao-Jiu,” Yue Qingyuan added.

“But we both have had the pleasure of mending those rifts, and getting to know each other better.”

“It has been wonderful to become your friend, and now your partner.”

“So…”

“Will you marry us?”

Shen Jiu was stunned. His eyes went wide. The two men beneath the trees looked at each other nervously.

“Yes!”

Yue Qingyuan hugged Shen Jiu and twirled him around. He was smiling ear to ear. He ended up wrapping his arms around Shen Jiu from behind and peppering the back of his head with kisses.

Liu Qingge was slower to react. He seemed just as stunned as Shen Jiu. Eventually, he hugged him from the side. He kissed Shen Jiu’s jawline. Shen Jiu could feel his smile.

Tears flowed freely from Shen Jiu’s eyes. Liu Qingge licked at the ones nearby.

Xiao-Jiu simply couldn’t believe that someone would love him. Enough to care for him. Enough to be his friend. Enough to marry him.

But Shen Jiu could.

[tcfactory]

Silly thought of the day: Yue Qingyuan's cultivation is plenty high to heal the scars from his sword incident without very visible marks - no discoloration, no obviously different skin texture - but there's one thing he can't cover up: you can clearly see where his shizun and the medicine peak lord cut into him to fix his meridians in the patterns in his body hair. It looks kinda stupid, in his opinion, but at least it's easy enough to fix.

So Yue Qingyuan is getting full body shaves (or waxes, idk which would be more fitting for this setting) like twice a year and between bullshit xianxia lotion and cultivation slowing down certain body functions, he's smooth all over. And it should be nobody's business, because xianxia modesty demands he's covered up all the time, but somehow the others find out about it. They are all still only head disciples and maybe it's a very hot summer so the open spars are done shirtless or their shizuns organize a team-bonding trip to a hot spring or something.

Especially the hot spring scenario would be funny because like. Shen Qingqiu is stewing in the water, in his personal nightmare of being in the company of several naked men (he's debating if it makes it marginally better or much worse that they are his fellow head disciples) with no way to hide his scars, and then his world gets upended by Yue Qingyuan being so smooth and delectable all over.

And it would be really humiliating that he's the only one reacting to this - Mu Qingfang knew about it and its reason already, Shang Qinghua doesn't think it's anything strange because he spends way too much time around Mobei-jun who's an ice demon and doesn't have much body hair to begin with, Wei Qingwei is mildly fascinated, but not enough to comment on it...

But then Liu Qingge walks in and looks at Yue Qingyuan like a god descended in front of him. Liu Qingge is staring and Shen Qingqiu is staring and they notice each other staring and through some unprecedented stroke of divine guidance they decide to have temporary truce for a bit, because clearly they are the only people here with functioning eyes.

And maybe if they work together it will exponentially increase their chances of getting to touch Yue Qingyuan in all his smoothness and that's worth having a truce over, probably.

This all ends with a very happy Yue Qingyuan and a very spicy LQG/YQY/SQQ sandwich.

You mentioned happy qijiuliu in a post, so I thought I would share the random half awake dream I had that was defo inspired by your fic. Premise: after finding the Qiu mansion burned down, YQY got very drunk one (1) time, naturally with his reliable bro, LQG. And of course, he poured out his whole broken heart, and then LQG was a good enough bro to never ever bring it up again, so YQY let himself forget it happened. (1/3)

But LQG has it all rattling around in his head, this tragedy over YGY's Shen Jiu, his Xiao Jiu, so when he first meets the actual grown up Shen Jiu his reaction is more of 'ugh, YGY was all torn up over you??' And then Shen Jiu gets to know that YQY did try, he did care, he was just too late. Cue reconciliation speedrun, any percent, bonus trophy LQG (since the cure for SJ feeling insecurely jealous is to have a claim too). (2/3)

Sorry it was so light on the details, the rest of it was really hazy, but I hope it sparks some joy in your day! Thank you for always writing and sharing, I always look forward to it (3/3)

--

ANY% MAJOR GLITCHES RECONCILIATION SPEEDRUN, WE LOVE THIS SHIT. yes please ;; that makes so much sense!! drunken mess YQY mad at the world and mad at himself. Maybe he even gets reckless with Xuan Su ("what use is all this power if I can't protect anyone who matters?!") and that's how LQG finds out. YQY mourns for SJ in LQG's company and LQG hears all about SJ's resourcefulness and intense protective streak. how SJ is YQ's dearest person in the whole wide world and now he's gone.

except he's not. SJ comes back to life and LQG rushes to YQY's side the moment he hears that Yue-shixiong's brought back a strange rogue cultivator. LQG meets SJ in the depths of his betrayed fury and shame that he's ever trusted Qi-ge to come back for him. LQG proves a hyper-effective catalyst and sets the record straight, because YQY hasn't exactly sworn to go to his grave with this secret (his silence is built out of habit and repeated silent self-confirmation more than anything). SJ is flabbergasted and disbelieving. Is this just some excuse YQY's new friend is making up for him? SJ pulls Xuan Su in a sudden motion (that YQY fully could have stopped) and finds out LQG's telling the truth.

"—why wouldn't you tell me?!" "I didn't want to make excuses—" "That's not an excuse, they screwed you over and left you for dead, heaven's sake Qi-ge, what—you, get out!"

This last bit's directed at LQG when SJ abruptly remembers they still have company. All of LQG's alarm bells are ringing about SJ though so he ignores SJ and looks to YQY instead. YQY looks between them both and nicely sends LQG away, and in that moment SJ sees the depths of LQG's loyalty to YQY. Oh, this cocky swaggering rich boy wants his Qi-ge, huh?

So as LQG's walking away, SJ grabs and kisses YQY. It's reckless it's messy it's a dirty tactic to drag YQY down with him it's a genuine display of his own feelings. YQY is shocked but shyly so. LQG's scandalized/furious at first (because you definitely did not do these sorts of things so crassly and openly! and with Yue-shixiong nonetheless!!) but when he sees YQY's flushed response he storms away, very much not comprehending why he's so angry when he should be happy YQY, or something.

Anyways yeah, disciple era young lovebirds shenanigans. SQQ's training goes smoother than in the original once he's accepted YQY's help. SQQ and LQG are still very much rivals who despise each other's guts except it gets more effectively tempered by YQY's mediation and also thanks to their mutual attachment to YQY. SQQ loves dangling YQY in front of LQG to the point where he kind of gets affronted "on YQY's behalf" when he spots LQG training/getting along with other people.

There needs to be some plot in that forces SQQ to confess to LQG that the only reason he's such a dick about being YQY's cultivation partner to LQG is because he's so insecure about not being as good as LQG. In turn LQG gets to confess that yeah he's totally been jealous but has confirmed that SQQ is every good thing YQY has said he was, and LQG's actually glad that SQQ's around to watch YQY's back especially in the political arena. Nobody else has as silver a tongue, especially not LQG, so good for all of them that SQQ is here at Cang Qiong, actually.

Talking through their misunderstandings leaves a good but awkward aftertaste lmfao, so in a hurry to get back to normal, SQQ resumes his prior behavior of dangling YQY in front of LQG, getting extra intimate when LQG is around, deliberately making eye contact while his hand's slipping into YQY's robes, etc. Except now...LQG's less going puce with outrage and more just rolling his eyes, and SQQ is less "hah see Qi-ge is mine mine mine" and more "look over here, hey why aren't you looking, aren't you always supposed to be looking."

YQY very much notices and is like, "um. So. Hey dear :) It seems that recently you've been really wanting Liu-shidi's attention." SQQ pulls a whole how dare you detective diaz-- monologue but ends up succumbing to YQY's bright idea of having LQG over for tea, and the three of them going on missions together, and going out to local festivals and attractions and such all three of them wouldn't that be lovely? Xiao Jiu and Liu-shidi getting along? Wouldn't that be nice~?
