What I really want to read is a very long post-canon svsss fic where bingqiu can calm down, and rest, and heal, and learn to communicate better. Where sqq can learn to recognize and talk about his feelings, where he can tell his husband truth about himself, where he can start feeling safe without the Plot hanging over his head, where he can be happy without reservations about the place he ended up in. Where lbh can heal from all the trauma, where he can stop fearing being abandoned and hating himself, where he can learn he has always been loved, where he can feel secure and safe and happy. I want a story about them growing as people together and separately. I want there to be friendships for both of them, too.
I don't want there to be a very dramatic plot at all, just the slow growth of love, and trust, and happiness. Maybe some wife plots but not the kind that provokes dramatic confessions, just some everyday stuff they have to deal with living in that world. Like, idk, one of them being dosed with sex pollen, and using this scene to show they relaxed and let down their walls around each other.
Oh, and no system. Like, it turned off at the end of the Plot or something. It would be incredibly infuriating if it started giving out 'satisfaction points' for that.
I've read some fics that are about this, but they are either rather short, focus on only one issue, or entirely too dramatic plot. I want a long slow-burn bingqiu healing and relaxing into domestic happiness.
I think I will reblog later with links to the fics that fit the mood of this, if not the whole list. If anyone sees this and has their own recs, please share.
Edit: links to the fics are added in the reblogs and can be accessed in the notes.
