love and a dream, remember?

at first he thinks he scored because hey he's gonna live! bingge left mu qingfang alive in PIDW, so he doesn't have to worry about escaping his fate. he can just putter around his peak, tending to disciples' scrapes and growing an assortment of interesting plants

only, he soon realizes that being one of the only medical professionals in the sect, and the only one with a status high enough to be trusted with sect secrets, means he is the default GP for every. single. peak lord.

access to confidential info + sy wife beam = sy is now booked for appointments through next year and his martial siblings are throwing themselves into pits of snakes to get emergency treatment and see their sweet, tender, caring shidi/shixiong. even shen jiu starts coming in for regular checkups despite his strong aversion to them, and liu qingge starts showing up to get his wounds treated if only to bear witness to that soft smile mu qingfang lets slip when he admits he's in pain (sy isnt a sadist he just wants lqg to take care of himself! he swears its not bc he likes the sounds of lqg's grunts and groans as he resets his dislocated joints and wraps his scrapes up real tight!)

not only is he making so many unexpected friends (...every peak lord is starting courting processes but sy does NOT notice), he learns...so much drama! which is entertaining, but starts to become a heavy, heavy burden very quickly

he brings the concept of therapy into the PIDW verse expeditiously fast and sets up regular sessions, at first with the peak lords, then the head disciples, and before he knows it he's discovering a new form of mental cultivation to heal heart demons!

I’m in the middle of re-reading “pride is not the word I’m looking for” by @tossawary and MAN. something about this line in chapter 27 just HAUNTED me. Had to draw it to get the demons out lmao

Yay, more NYY fans! Honestly a big reason I made this blog is because it's so hard to find NYY centric fics and I hoped that by talking more about her I'd inspire more people to write about her. Be the change you want to see and all that. I've seen a few oneshots centered on NYY here and there, but if there's any long multichaptered fics starring NYY please someone tell me about it!

I've got a couple fics to recommend, and I hope other people might share links in the comments!

Ning Yingying was not a gambling girl. She still decided to bet her heart and happiness on the kind boy living in the woodshed.

(it cost her her home, her family, and two worlds)

1.8k words, ongoing (this one was inspired by my post!)

Shen Yuan was born with prosopagnosia, which transferred with him when he transmigrated into Shen Qingqiu (WTF SYSTEM!!)

He worries he would get caught as a fraud with how much he struggled with knowing which Peak Lord was which, but unknown to him the rest of the mountain attributed it to his amnesia

Luo Binghe was the easiest to recognize for him, with his curly hair and how he would announce 'Shizun' every time they were together. There was no way he could mistake his little bun for anyone else

And then he had to push him into the Abyss

Years later in Jin Lan City, he encounters a young adult with a deep voice who calls him Shizun, who clearly was a disciple trained by the OG and left the sect before Shen Yuan was around!

He's wearing gold and surrounded by others wearing the same, so he must have left the sect for HHP after Shen Jiu did something to make him leave, and that's why HHP is being especially rude to him!

Meanwhile Luo Binghe is heartbroken because Shizun is ignoring him! He's not angry or happy or anything! He's acting like being around him is a bit awkward and not the huge deal it's supposed to be!

He won't even call Luo Binghe by his name! Just dizi! It was like he didn't even know his name anymore!
