Ideas, but not writing

I do that all the time, so I hope not! lol

seriously, though - as long as the switches are clear and don’t cause confusion you should be fine. I find it helps to use the horizonal rule in between viewpoints to show the flip in perspective. 

“Asteriskasteriskasteriskasteriskasterisk” is the literal worst. As someone who uses almost exclusively screen readers anymore when I read more than a couple paragraphs at a time, I have quit reading stories because there were too many line breaks with a dozen or two asterisks, or OoOoOo, or underscores, or any assortment of characters.  It looks pretty, but it doesn’t sound pretty!

Use hyphens or a coded line break.  On Ao3, that is done with <hr >. Those just cause brief pauses in the reading, so they are perfect for transitions and breaks between scenes!  Listening to a minute straight of “underscore” without pause is grating.  

So, I've been reading fanfiction for a long ass time, longer than I've been on Tumblr and have always loved fic recs, and now I realize I can make my own(yay!), so here it is. None of these are explicit or anything, but they are super good.

A Transmigrator and a Time Traveler Walk Into The Bamboo House Summary:

Over a year after Shen Qingqiu's death, Luo Binghe consults his servant's servant, concurrently his disgraced martial uncle, for a way to bring the love of his life back. Shang Qinghua sends him in the direction of a certain time-traveling artifact, which supposedly brings one to the day they first met their soulmate. Odd, though, that the artifact ends up missing the destination by just a few years…

A story in which post-Abyss Luo Binghe relives his disciple days, while juggling his secrets, traumas, and some unexpected revelations about the man he loves on top of that.

Unveiling The Imposter Summary:

While tracking a suspicious fortune-teller, Shen Qingqiu falls unconscious. The fortune-teller extracts a glowing orb from his body, telling Luo Binghe and Liu Qingge that this Shen Qingqiu is an imposter, and they can see for themselves if they don't believe it.

Alternatively, the Demon Lord and Peak Lords watch Scum-Villain's Self-Saving System.

Characters Watch the Series fanfic. Post-Canon.

High Mountain, How I Long Summary: Shen Qingqiu, after enduring his trial, is placed into Luo Binghe’s custody at Huan Hua Palace.

meta madness Summary: Looking at SVSSS through the eyes of the universe left behind when Airplane and Cucumber died. (Note: Not a fic, but a series, but every fic in it is so good so definitely check it out.)

it's only shameless if you had any shame to loose in the first place Summary: They have not told anyone about their marriage, and at Shen Qingqiu's request, they will only do so once the wedding preparations are done. No one will have time to nag!

But in the meantime, Luo Binghe, demonic lord or not, is only an alpha. He must do something to show off his claim or he'll go insane, he really will. He'll qi deviate terribly, see if he won't.

Fortunately, as thin-faced as he is, his Shizun does not care much for proper dynamic etiquette...

love's worth running to Summary: “Shizun,” he purred, darkly calm despite the anger oozing out of his mock-respectful smile. Luo Binghe's grip on Xiu Ya's blade tightened, and he realised with belated horror that his blood was running down the sword and dripping by Shen Qingqiu's feet. His sword had to be held at an upwards angle now, to reach the place where he pierced him back then.

Shen Qingqiu felt sick. There was something wrong in this dream.

“I ask you again. Do you regret it, Shizun?”

//

Shen Qingqiu can't answer whether he regrets betraying him. Luo Binghe wants his Shizun to understand how he suffered, and drags Shen Qingqiu into his dreamscape of the Endless Abyss that night.

The only problem: Shen Qingqiu isn't waking up.

We Are Not Wise Summary:

When Shen Qingqiu drew Shen Yuan’s soul sword, it felt like being burned from the inside out. The fire wasn’t cruel, but it was still fire—hot and destructive, searing the softest pieces of him.

When Binghe’s fingers touch the hilt, he is ready for pain.

Transmigrated into a version of Proud Immortal Demon Way where cultivators manifest their own souls into spiritual weapons, Shen Yuan finds himself sort of kind of…accidentally blackmailing Shen Qingqiu into taking him on as a disciple before Luo Binghe joins the sect.

That should give Shen Yuan plenty of opportunities to make sure nothing goes wrong for his favorite protagonist, right? RIGHT!?

A story of twists, turns, hope, despair, and soul swords. Written for the Bingqiu Reverse Minibang 2023, illustrated and conceptualized by the incredible Suzu!

The Cultivating Force Summary: In which a Master and a Padawan run into a Shizun and a... Sith?

and judgement is just like a cup that we share Summary: The blob finished rotating into place in a way that wasn’t quite compatible with geometry as Shen Qingqiu understood it, and cleared a throat it didn’t seem to have.

“Greetings,” it said, somehow clearly addressing him in particular more than the room as a whole despite its total lack of features other than blueness and translucency. “I’m here on behalf of the Hyper-Celestial Peace and Order Enforcement Bureau. Crime scene secure, proceeding to interviews. Beginning with Subject One: You are Shen Qingqiu, formerly Shen Yuan, also known as Peerless Cucumber?”

"Proud Immortal Demon... Protection Squad?" Summary:

[ REWRITTEN 2023 ]

in which shen qingqiu, the nation's scum villain, doesn't perish from a qi deviation and instead, after dying tragically in his pathetic, sickly, 20 year-old body because he ate some definitely rotten yogurt he mistook for cream cheese like the absolute knob that he is, shen yuan wakes up to find himself in the body of a child, in the middle of a forest, and with absolutely no clue what world this shitty system had dropped him into. he decides to just go with the flow, one step at a time.

what could possibly go wrong?

(the answer is: everything)

(Shen Yuan Might Die Often but His) Old Habits Die Hard Summary: When Luo Binghe asks about his spiritual veins in the Holy Mausoleum, Shen Yuan's chest feels so funny that a lifetime of being chronically ill and reassuring his loved ones that, actually, he's fine kicks in. It is fine, really, because every problem in Airplane-bro's world can be solved by something that's penciled regularly into Shen Yuan's schedule at least eight times a week now.

Except the cure for Without a Cure doesn't work, and Shen Yuan's unlucky enough that Airplane-bro's plot device for winning over a tsundere via 'walking a mile in each others' bodies' hits him before he can figure out an alternative to telling Binghe that actually his five years of rebuilding Shen Qingqiu's spiritual veins diligently failed to cure him.

Luo Binghe is, of course, less than impressed to discover through personal experience what Shen Yuan, with his pain scale so skewed by years of chronic pain, never did during all his time poisoned: that, actually, having spiritual energy forming blockages and blood stagnating in your body hurts like hell.

But also consider: almost every time somebody offends or insults Gimli in the books, his reaction is along the lines of declaring “I would take offense at your words, save that you are too ignorant to know how wrong they are” in I assume just the most refined, lofty voice you can imagine.

Whereas Éomer threatens Gimli one (1) time in front of Legolas and our Mirkwood madlad is immediately ready to throw-down with half* of Rohan’s army.

I’m saying what I would like to see more of is Legolas losing his temper, and Gimli being the cool-headed half of the pair that has to hold his lanky longshanks boyfriend back from doing a murder.

Angels 🤍🤍

Dearest reader,

The latest scandal within the Seasonal Court comes when the Autumn Prince, the most eligible bachelor in the circle, has set his eyes and foolish heart to court the lowly common winter spirit for his debut ball. The unnamed winter spirit is quite unremarkable, many tittered, compared to the upper echelon of his kin, and yet they wonder with no little envy what is it about him that had captured the Autumn Prince’s attention so devotedly?

Ambitious mamas, be reminded that all is not without hope. For what king indeed would allow his heir to marry below his station? King Stoick and the Queen Valka could be heard doing damage control following the ball. Be assured, dear reader, that I will have my eyes and ears open, quill at the ready to report to you any and all of the latest intrigues and scandal.

Yours Truly,

So I recently just hit 1K followers on twitter!!! And apparently I also have 1k on tumblr?!??!?! thank you all so so SO much Im so grateful for you all!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thanks again for all of your hard work running this blog, it’s immensely appreciated!

You are very welcome! Here are some fics in which the Archangels discover that Crowley was Raphael...

Where is he by ashmash565 (T)

Crowley didn't fall. He didn't vaguely saunter down as he claims either. He did ask questions, that much is true. But he actually jumped, and he hid. From everyone, his siblings, his mother and himself.

Wounded by Mystery by NebulaEyes (T)

Aziraphale notices that Crowley is an hour late, which is unusual since the world DIDN'T end. Just when he thought about doing something, Crowley walks in with a woman who is bleeding...golden...blood. It meant she was from Heaven, and Aziraphale could hear the desperation in Crowley's voice for his help to assist him in healing her, but what he didn't know was why or who this being was to Crowley. Soon, Aziraphale learns he knew Crowley for six thousand years, but the angelic side of him...not so much.

Where Your Soul Goes, You Will Find Me by NuriaSchnee (M)

Aziraphale gets discorporated and Crowley storms into Heaven to save him. However, they find themselves trapped inside and Crowley comes up with a plan to get them out: ask for God's forgiveness, for Her to turn him into an angel again.

The First Sin (Was Asking Questions) by StarlightPhoenix (T)

In the end, it was the result of horrible timing. Lucifer questioned Her in front of the other angels, and She refused to humor him any longer. Lucifer and his supporters were forced from Heaven, Falling in a glorious blaze. Raphael questioned her away from the others, but it was too soon. Then he was Falling, too. Before he was Crowley the Demon, he was Raphael the Archangel. And then he wasn't. Years later, he reconnects with his siblings.

No More Questions by CloseToSomethingReal (G)

"The Archangel Michael. That's… unlikely." The Serpent breathed.

Michael contemplated him.

There was something familiar about him...

Choose Your Face Wisely by MsMelancholy (T)

"On any other day, Crowley would have slammed the door in his face and returned to his regularly scheduled nap. Although, he couldn’t deny his curious nature. If Gabriel had something planned, he would have done it by now. If he was in the process of planning something, Crowley would know.

If angels were known for their ability to sense love, then demons could sense hate and anger and all of the disgusting emotions that humans and supernatural entities alike expressed. Surprisingly, Crowley couldn’t sense any ill intent from Gabriel. That both scared him and intrigued him."

[Gabriel needs to discuss something with Crowley. They bond.]

There Is a Light And It Never Goes Out by t_mesinine (M)

"Crowley," Aziraphale slapped his book shut and turned to him with a worried glance. "Have you heard anything of Raphael recently?"

Crowley thought he might choke.

Struggle

A commissioni did a while ago, really love how it turns out but forgot to post it since i got so busy with moving and school work.

Hope you guys enjoy this!

Thorin just being an absolute loser, no confidence, pathetic guy who’s spent his whole life moping and then suddenly he finds the love of his life. And Bilbo seems like a loser with all his fancy handkerchiefs and letter opener sword, but he’s actually so witty and has a charisma of like +4 who can say goodbye as an insult and somehow gets a dragon to talk to him cuz he’s polite.

Bilbo was born to be Consort under then mountain, and everyone loves him! The Council appreciates his polite but firm negotiation tactics and this hobbit has a good head for business. And the people love how friendly and personable he is every time he comes to market. They don’t see many royals who remember their mother’s favorite caserole recipe after all. And by extension, Thorin gains popularity because he can’t be all bad if he managed to land such a little charmer.

Likewise, I need hobbit wives tripping over themselves to get to the forge to see the tall, silent, stunningly beautiful new blacksmith and did you hear he used to be royal? How did Bilbo Baggins land that hot piece of ass? And of course Bilbo has made him so nervous over all the different rules in hobbit society that most of the time Thorin merely nods and smiles at him, and isn’t that cute? He’s shy. So they naturally take him under their wing, inviting him to afternoon teas to fatten him up, and Thorin thinks all Shire food is amazing so he’s quick to offer up his compliments on their cooking which nearly sends them swooning. And of course the male hobbits want to be jealous, but Thorin is fair in price and his work is immaculate and he wears Bilbo’s flowers proudly so he’s certainly not straying from Master Baggins, he’s just very charming and they can’t begrudge him that.

I've been reading a bunch of fics with Dain in them lately, and it's got me feeling like fanon Dain isn't enough of a chad- especially regarding his relationship with Bilbo.

Like, I've read so many fics that have Dain dislike bilbo- whether because he doesn't like hobbits, or Bilbo in particular, or disapproves of Bilbo's closeness to Thorin etc., but its pretty clear in the books that Dain likes Bilbo! and thinks he's super awesome!

I'm not sure how this got turned around? maybe he makes a good scapegoat- perhaps having an even bigger jerk makes Thorin look better? (sorry Thorin but it's true) Anyway, I don't know for sure, but there's about one million characters in LOTR u can pick to be an asshole- but Dain shouldn't be in there XD

Especially regarding Bilbo! like, Dain did SO MUCH for Bilbo- even when he barely knew him!

Looking at the events in LOTR, as told by Gimli in the council of Elrond, we can see that even 60ish years after only meeting Bilbo once, he still cared greatly about his safety.

Gimli tells everyone about how Sauron sent black riders to Erebor, and the riders were basically like “i'll give you THREE dwarven rings of power, and MORIA if u tell me where Bilbo Baggins is.” and Dain, the chad he is, was like “umm, no” and sent Gimli and Gloin to WARN BILBO! He fucking waged war against THE GREATEST EVIL EVER- refusing literally the greatest gifts that could possible be offered to dwarves, for like, the safety of a hobbit. especially after ALL the dwarves have been through to get back Moria!! Dain was in the battle of Azanulbizar (aka the battle to reclaim Moria)!!

And yet he refused!

TBH of the great figures in middle earth his track record is actually amazing- like, so many Kings in LOTR history have fallen pray to Sauron's will. DAIN? The dwarf? A race known in middle earth for greed? He wouldn’t stand for it! Stood up to Sauron for a hobbit! I cant get over it.

Additionally he's SO honorable! Dain DIED in the war of the ring- fighting alongside Brand, Bard's grandson. He signed his death certificate because he stood up to Sauron- and paid for it with his life to help the men. He literally died PROTECTING Brand's body!! Additionally the only reason all the men of Dale lived is because they were given protection by seeking refuge in Erebor.

Also even disregarding the events of LOTR- he is EXPLICITLY nice to Bilbo!! Dain says to Bilbo after the battle of five armies: “'This treasure is yours as much as it is mine... I should hope that the words of Thorin, of which he repented, should not prove true: that we should give you little. I would reward you most richly of all.'" -Dain in "The Return Journey" He gave Bard a fourteenth share!! MORE RICHLY THAN THAT? THAT’S A LOTTA GOLD FOR ONE HOBBIT!
