gah

Yue Qingyuan comes to check on him even after he’s declared he won’t be disturbed for a little while. It’s clear the sect leader wasn’t expecting Shen Qingqiu to be in heat, he tries to maintain a respectful distance as he asks Shen Yuan if he needs food, water, entertainment, a new blanket. Maybe it’s his hormones talking but oh… Shen Yuan misses his brothers. His Da-ge especially was 8 years older than him, he would always come visit Shen Yuan in the hospital, read to him, make sure he was okay. He was never weird about Shen Yuan’s failing health, never made him feel like a burden.

sj is the one who gets targeted, since his meridians have a unique structure to them back when wyz tried to make him into a cauldron. in the middle of the fight, the spirit does something, and all of a sudden sj flinches back, and his eyes have a strange purple sheen to them

and yqy cannot turn his sword (neither xuan su nor a spare one) against him as possessed!sj attacks him, not even when he knows that sj is being controlled by the spirit. sj lunges at him, and muscle memory makes yqy bring up his spare sword– but he jerks back at the last second, redirecting the blade. overbalances – and sj knocks him to the ground, and his hands are around yqy's neck since xiu ya refused to answer to an impostor

yqy really should do something – anything – both for his and sj's sake, but in that moment all he can do is sag in that hold, his mind blank save for the feeling of xiao jiu's hands upon him.

(because it really isn't such a bad way to die, hm? with xiao jiu touching him; arguably taking what he's due; with those elegant fingers pressed deep into his skin, firm in their staunch – deserved – cruelty)

He didn’t let her spar with the other disciples— that rough gaggle of boys would take advantage the minute they had the upper hand, he just knows. He made her wait longer than was appropriate to claim her sword. On the rare occasions he allowed her to go on missions, he always accompanied her. It’s always to keep her safe, to give her the comfortable life Ning-jie begged him to provide her.

But now here he is, waiting by her bedside in Qian Cao, watching Mu Qingfang put his filthy hands all over her. Her breathing is so shallow… at every pause he fears his heart will stop, worrying if this will be the last. Her first solo mission was a mistake. He never should have let her out of his sight, never put her in such danger, never—

Mu Qingfang draws his hands back with a yelp, qi sparking over Ying’er’s body. Her breathing stutters, muscles tensing before she cries out in pain. Shen Jiu watches with his heart in his throat as she convulses on the bed. With a CRACK like lightning, her body shrinks, fabric pooling around her.

There’s a toddler on the bed.

Her eyes crack open, casting about the room in a daze. They grow more focused as they land on Shen Jiu.

“Jiu-jiu? What’s wrong?”

Shen Jiu hadn’t even realized he was crying.

The little girl on the bed reaches out with chubby hands, grasping at him. Shen Jiu lurches forward, scooping her up in the blanket and cradling her to his chest. He rocks her gently, the same way Ning-jie showed him, petting her soft hair. “Jiu-jiu’s here. He’s got you. Ying’er is safe.”

Mu Qingfang wants to touch her again, to take her pulse or something, but he wisely hesitates. “Disciple Ning is Shixiong’s niece?”
