currently on hiatus

It would be kinda funny if some kind of truth serum that should reveal Shen Qingqiu fails because Shen Qingqiu's internal identity is so firmly "Shen Qingqiu" that it just doesn't work even though Shen Qingqiu expected to be exposed

Like he's super stressed about it and angsty and afraid but when it happens it's just like "I am Shen Qingqiu"

It would work on Airplane but only kinda because Airplane would go on long rants but only Shen Qingqiu would understand what the fuck he's talking about. To everyone else he's basically speaking gibberish and demanding that people call him daddy for some reason

So we know SQQ uses The Wives/The Women as a stand-in to talk around his attraction to Binghe, but another thing SQQ does is use the Original Shen Qingqiu as away to talk around his own personality, (negative) emotions, and even self-esteem, either by contrasting himself against him, or by finding similarities. It makes a lot of sense, since he's inhabiting the body of the original, the person he needs to, to a certain point, imitate to survive.

Imagine if without-a-cure had acted up when Shen Qingqiu tried to self destruct in Jinlan city and he just ended up hugging Luo Binghe

So Shang Qinghua, right? He is the Peak Lord of An Ding. He has no peers other than the other Peak Lords, who only ever visit when they need something from him. His students come to him for questions about the quarterly imports of rice and nothing else, Mobei-jun beats him black and blue for no reason Shang Qinghua has been able to determine, and all he wants is a fucking friend.

So one night he takes a pen to paper, imagining a world where he has a companion. Someone who understands him -- so they must be a transmigrator, or at least a seer. They must put up with his whining, and know things about his hobby of writing, and you know, this is wish fullfilment in the first place, so why not make them thoroughly Shang Qinghua's type, cold and dignified.

A little embarrassed, Shang Qinghua imagines a person that could never exist in real life. Someone who would have cared about his writing. Back in his first universe the only people who read his story were the people who were there for the smut alone. Nobody else.

Maybe, he thinks shamefully, they would have even left detailed criticism. A shiver runs down his back, cheeks flushing red. Wouldn’t that have been something.

So he puts down the last words of his dumb little story and promptly passes out from exhaustion.

The next morning he wakes up to the news that Shen Qingqiu had a Qi Deviation.

(I just love the idea of Shen Yuan being another one of Shang Qinghua's characters. Wouldn’t that be so interesting?)

The author expanded this: write me well by AMereDream

This fic has now also been remixed into a Shen Yuan POV by ever_and_anon! Go check it out, it's amazing <3

What a wonderful day to remember that Shen Jiu would bash all of our heads in with a rock for calling Yue Qingyuan “Qi-ge”
