When was the last time you got proper sleep?

Forever ago, it seems. 

Your mother was considering giving you sleeping pills. You were nineteen years old now, attending community college, and, unlike the rest of the members of the party, you hadn't moved on. 

It still haunted you. 

Eddie was gone. You couldn't just get over that. Many innocent people died. Max died, for a moment. Eleven had saved her.

They were too late for Eddie.

You often sobbed at night, wondering why this was happening. Over the years, you should've gotten used to it. Grief was funny like that. Trauma, too. 

Then, it began.

When you finally managed to fall asleep, Nightmares began. First, it was at Eddie's grave. 

"Eddie," you sobbed."I just wish you hadn't died. You should be here right now."

"So much simplicity. I thought you loved me, y/n."

You turned. stood there. But he wasn't your Eddie. "I do," You said."I do, Eddie."

"I don't think you do. Otherwise, you wouldn't have let me die that day."

You're crying. You think about that day every goddamn day of your life. It haunts you. Whoever this was, they wanted to torment you. This felt real. It was less of a dream and more of a reflection. 

"Please, Eddie, believe me," you pleaded. 

Eddie takes a different form.

"You don't belong with him. You belong to me." 

Vecna.

You try running, but it's no use. It'd been a year, and you had almost forgotten about Vecna, but you knew that he was hiding.” 

You manage to wake up after that. But more nightmares just appeared. You just couldn’t exactly get him out of your head.

Why did Vecna like tormenting you?

It was a strange kind. He wanted to own you. And he always came in the monster form. You had no idea what he was like as a human. All you knew was that he might use it to trick you.

That’s what it was, deception. You just had to make sure not to fall for it.

When 1987 approached, you wondered if it’d ever change. It became sort of like an apocalyptic world. There was a curfew, and half of Hawkins was a well-military unit. Ever go past any of the limits, but you wondered what was behind the gates sometimes, and what the military might be doing.

Other than that, the sides you were allowed on remained mostly the same.

But not Vecna.

In a dream, you were at the creel house. You ran as fast as you could. A blonde-haired man in all white was after you. There was some blood on the white uniform, and his hair was slicked back. He was angelic. But you knew that this, too, was deception.

That wasn’t his real form at all.

You ran as fast as you could until you stopped at a cave—the only place he had never touched.

For a moment, you saw vulnerability, but only for a split second. You  knew of a weakness. At least a small one.

Still, his actual whereabouts weren’t known. He didn’t spawn and do anything for a year. It was clear he was waiting. 

Waiting for what? You apparently.

Nonetheless, you weren’t going to let that happen. 

Well, not if you could help it.

Your little brother was in middle school. Often, you waited for him to finish before picking him up. That was part of the deal you had with your mother, anyway.

But it gave you a routine, so you needed this.

However, only a few feet away was a man. He wore a suit and a vest. What stood out was his eyes. They stared deeply at you.

A warm smile formed on his face.

At this point, it's been a few days since your last nightmare, and you thought it had finally stopped.

It hadn't, not completely. 

You felt tempted to go up to the man who was saying hello. But you were in your car. And in about twenty more minutes, your brother would get out.

Well, it was better to be polite.

But your gut was telling you not to. So you just wave as you roll down your window and wait for your brother to get out of school.

The man still caught your attention, which was probably the intention. You turned back, though. You don't have time for that. 

"Oh, do you see Mr. Whatisit, Y/N?"

1kxr my beloved and beloathed

Finishing this game later tonight!

He is very wrong he stumbles on Qiu household and sees Shen Jiu and big brother instincts kick in, massacre happens (I mean i'm a demonic cultivator the whole murdering people thing should be fine very in character right?') he doesn't want to hunted down by other sects and such though so demon land?

He ends up with Shen Jiu in demon realm he's able to find ancient texts and other demonic cultivation tools and all the demons are just watching this cultivator happily talking to his disciple and getting insanely OP (SY has zero idea he keeps comparing himself to Binghe power and doesn't realize how much he outstrips everyone else) everyone's terrified of him,. man keeps talking about the endless abyss and they're pretty sure he's been there.

He ends up dragged into things when sects go to war against TLJ because ZZL seeks him out he's the strongest cultivator ZZL knows so hopes he could free his uncle. SY big brother instincts are in and of course, he's not sure who this demonic noble is (he isn't paying attention to politics without Binghe involved it all be canon fodder anyway whats the point?) so he shows up out strips everyone ends up saving a woman whose poisoned and pregnant , it's easy to heal he's seen many poisons that target demonic nature then strolls over destroy a mountain and it's on;ly now that he starts putting things together...

TLJ is a heavenly demon not a snake demon.... the cultivator is his partner... she is pregnant... half heavenly demon babayyyyy....OHHHHHH...he might have fucked up the plot.

He isn't sure how much...but Binghe's going grow up with parents as a prince he's sure he'll still be demonic harem master stallion protagonist but with a nice childhood...and no cang qiong sect and scum villain (...man has still not realized SJ is SQQ)

SY does make a stop and finds a washerwoman he maybe suggests as a nanny for the newborn prince. (Look if he gets to give Binghe a happy childhood he makes sure his adoptive mum is there to)

LBH grows up hearing about heroic demonic cultivator who saved both his parents and fucked up Huan Hua palace (He didn't kill them Binghe's wives will end up there... he just stole all their treasured and destroyed their wealth they now have to rely on their talent and skill... they're fucked OPM is suffering) he has the biggest crush and is going to marry that man... he will fight his cousin for him.
