Renheng AU #1

where Blade’s Alternate Self traveled to the HSR universe to keep watch of the universe’s fate as it is his duty to record history (he surrendered his fate to the Aeon of Remembrance) instead of stealing memories.

WARNING: ⚠️ Major Character Death

This is both Renheng and Renheng (alternate self) pairing.

The alternate Ren and Dan Heng had let go of the past and decided to move forward to begin their new story.

After the incident, Ren left the Stellaron Hunters, surrendering his fate to Fuli, the Remembrance.

At the end of the story, his hair begins to show signs of returning to its color of snow however, his youthful appearance remains the same. With his navy blue hair tied in a long ponytail, the red tips and highlights were replaced with a color as white as snow.

Another thing that is noticeable was the faint power of a dragon within him.

In this AU, Dan Heng is talking to Blade’s alternate self ‘Ren’ from another universe so he’s not talking to Blade who is out to get him. Because this Ren he’s talking to doesn’t resent him.

Dan Heng first met Ren during his seclusion (training) on a far-away planet away from his Astral Express family. It was his decision—to relearn the power of the primordial Vidyadhara High Elder and recover the lost memories of Dan Feng.

At first glance, Dan Heng is stuck between trusting Ren and being wary of him. As they spend time together in a domestic and training life, Dan Heng opens up to what he is feeling and the uncertainty he feels onwards his journey, with the Express and his past that is slowly catching up to him completely with no more lies and doubts hiding the truth.

They say, “A misunderstanding of one year is a misunderstanding. A misunderstanding of ten years is an injustice. A misunderstanding of a lifetime, from life to death, is fate. Their fate was blighted.” —referencing, The Husky and & His White Cat Shizun

And that was what had troubled Dan Heng from the beginning of his life on this planet until now. Everything that he learned so far from others’ perspectives and information on Dan Feng had all been one-sided and biased. A ‘truth’ themselves declared without a spare of conscience.

The mirages shown to him by the cultivators on this planet were not lies, even Dan Heng could tell they spoke of the truth than the words of the people who were not present during that time.

But what had devastated him the most was the very person with him—with Dan Feng that day was no different from the people who made up their own truth.

Blade.

Ren was silent throughout the entire story. Dan Heng did not question his silence in return. Even if they live in two different worlds and experience different choices in life, they understand each other the most.

It took Ren a long time to share his story— the similar fate Dan Heng and Blade shared. Unlike the two of them, Ren had reconciled with him, and confessed to him, and the tragedy they tried hard to prevent repeated itself once again.

That time was different. ‘He’ found a new solution to put an end to the samsara cycle of the Vidyadhara race.

(Let’s call Dan Heng in Ren’s world, A-Heng.)

A solution that required his entire existence.

The curse that was placed on his race was far greater than he could have imagined. As if an Aeon had cursed them to live a long life of suffering. A-Heng was no Aeon but he had the full power of a High Elder, both healing and destructive capable of being an Emanator. But it was still not on the same level as the Aeon of Permanence.

They were just starting a new chapter. After many series of misunderstandings had cleared up, months of yearning and longing, a once-in-a-lifetime words of feelings they have for each other. Ren and A-Heng started dating again.

Ren wanted to atone for his sin, how wrongfully he had treated A-Heng and thought a mere forgiveness is not worth it. But A-Heng seeks nothing in return, he wants to spend the entire present with him and the coming future once everything is over.

But none of them knew that day that the future required one of them to stay alive a bit longer.

The regrets burned Ren to the core. A-Heng’s last expression was mixed with sadness, hope and regret. He knew A-Heng also wanted to live a long time for the both of them. They just started to heal and patch each other’s wounds, only to inflict more permanent and incurable wounds.

In his last moments, A-Heng feared that his power would be once again put into the wrong hands, and in that moment of desperation, Ren offered himself to be the bearer of his power.

All the crimes came to light soon after and the day after that, Ren destroyed the entire Xianzhou Luofu ship leaving Jing Yuan the sole survivor. Leaving him with words to atone for the sin of inaction for hundreds of years.

Next, he searched for Jingliu. He expected to meet a sword pierced into his body again but not today and never will be from that day onwards. Words seemed to have reached Jingliu’s ears and Ren spared no effort to respond to her silent words.

“I will never forgive you.”

A misunderstanding of one year is a misunderstanding.

“Blinded by mara and rage, you created false memories in me.”

A misunderstanding of ten years is an injustice.

“Why does it have to be him.”

A misunderstanding of a lifetime, from life to death, is fate.

“Is wishing for freedom… a sin for those who yearned for it.”

Ren and A-Heng’s fate was blighted.

He did not question it. To him, he knows that Jingliu views everyone’s sin as bigger than hers. Claiming that succumbing to mara and taking the lives of her people is her only sin but to him, to Ren, the excuse is another declared truth of her own false belief.

A-Heng… this universe is worthless without you.

Dan Heng was silent throughout the entire story. Ren did not question his silence in return. To them, they comforted each other through silence.

A few months after, they spent their time together and before they knew, Dan Heng will return to the Astral Express and Ren will continue his path to be the witness of this universe’s story where the gaze of this universe’s Destiny’s Slave does not fall on him. They had their first spar.

It was a tie.

The spar ended earlier than expected when a familiar object fell from Ren’s sleeves.

A bracer.

But a broken one at that. It was barely unrecognizable if it wasn’t for Dan Feng’s memories of the bracer he and Ren shared before. Ren picked up the bracer and looked at it for a few seconds before hiding it again in his sleeves.

Ren’s bracer was already gone during the battle against the Emanator of the Hunt. This bracer belonged to A-Heng and it’s the last memory of him. It can no longer be worn and there is no temperature to detect the owner’s location.

Why does he still keep the bracer he asked.

The answer is simple:

This broken bracer is a reminder for him that his home, his Dan Heng is gone and will never return.

Renheng week Day 5 prompt: Xianxia

In order to prevent the world from being destroyed by Ren, a Demon Lord. Dan Heng, a cultivator from the Nameless sect, was tasked to travel back in time prevent the mortal Yingxing (Ren of the past) from becoming the Demon Lord by extracting Shuhu's Flesh. Unbeknownst to him, Dan Feng the body that Dan Heng took over is married to the very man he has to kill. From the moment he meets the Yingxing, things get complicated. Romance blooms between them as the cycle of death and reincarnation begins to spin.

idk how other people see the stellaron hunters but to me they will always be the strangest friend group to ever exist. there’s tall, dark, and handsome who has a hit list, the hot MILF in your area that has left the child she mothered with her ex, and a Fortnite player. of course they’ve bonded over crime how the hell else would they have met

HCQ era xingyue where gossip columns and articles start covering the sudden relationship between yingxing & dan feng because it's So Scandalous that THE high elder of the vidyadhara who was known for being emotionally distant and composed becomes so fucking unhinged over some outworlder.

the general public know how utterly unprofessional & scandalous the whole thing is but absolutely eat that shit up. they're ravenous want to know every single detail about their relationship because its such Juicy gossip and people get genuinely invested in the relationship, but there's all kinds of like. tabloids with headlines like:

"LEGENDARY OUTWORLER CRAFTSMAN SEDUCES THE HIGH ELDER OF THE VIDYADHARA?!"

"BREAKING NEW THEORIES ON THE SEDUCTION OF IMBIBITOR LUNAE: DID THIS GENIUS CRAFTSMAN USE HIS OWN INVENTIONS TO HYPNOTIZE THE HIGH ELDER?"

"CONVERSATION SECRETLY RECORDED: VIDYADHARA PREPECTORS BELIEVE THE HIGH ELDER WAS POISONED?"

"FIVE NEW FACTS ABOUT THE SMOKING HOT GENIUS WHO STOLE IMBIBITOR LUNAE'S HEART"

"HIGH ELDER IMBIBITOR LUNAE ACCUSED OF PUBLIC INTOXICATION & SCANDALOUS PDA? FIND OUT MORE WITH THESE EXCLUSIVE NEW SHOTS OF THE INCIDENT!"

How renhengnyan invasion came to be😔

Again on side note sesame cake is called renyan and rice dumpling is called hengnyan in this au! :D

Also yes jy being the Disney princess he is, attracts all kinda wild ass animals to the house so renheng are pretty used to "racoon infestations"

[cloud-hymn]

Thinking about a hsr hockey/figuring skating au where Jing Yuan is a pro hockey player who takes in prodigy Yanqing after his parents die to “mentor him”. Featuring hockey/figuring skater power couple (and yanqing’s honorary godparents) renheng, figure skater auntie Fu Xuan, and disgusting amounts of found family

Also bonus hurt/comfort for Yanqing realizing he actually wants to pursue figure skating (Dan Heng and Fu Xuan obviously undergo the task of teaching him) but he doesn’t want to tell Jing Yuan bc he’s scared Jing Yuan only wants him on the basis of him playing hockey. Meanwhile Jing Yuan literally just wants his kid to be happy.

doodlin + mongolian blade historical au ft 2 second barely registerable as yanqing doodle

[shadowcatzone]

hsr au: imbibitor lunae went through hatching rebirth and when the egg hatched, two vidyadhara emerged rather than one. Dan feng and dan heng. They're twins and currently catfighting over who gets ren pays the price

Everyone looking in from outside thinks "aww these two love each other so much they don't want no harm to one another"- but no. Jing yuan, and blade, and everyone who knows them for longer than a week, knows: they both have the hots for the former blacksmith

And they fucking hate each other.

"one of you will pay the price-" both: "ME!!"
