Epic teamup by two amazing writers! Shen Yuan transmigrates into Ming Fan; I love Zhao De as an oc he's such a bastard. Also the scene between sy!ming fan and yqy... heheheh. the amazing is an accurate title!
ongoing fing masterpiece. the payoff of the latest couple chapters?? goddam divine. I love the incorporation of the byg trope as like a serious consideration in the context of the pidw universe and as an extension of sy's own internalized homophobia. like forget religious trauma the very fabric of the universe is out to get you dam rip to this kid. Like it's not true, we know it's not, but just imagine how dam soul-crushing that is like you get spawned into your favorite work, build a new body, a new life, only to discover that your very existence bars you from being happy. dam. I'm so sorry there's nothing wrong with you baby.
love this fic, gotta be one of my favorite sqh!pov fics. The title is perfect in that it's just sqh learning that he matters, and just falling into caring about people and being responsible for things over and over again. Like his self-perception is so discordant from his actions, and over time it actually inhibits his relationships to the point where he has to overcome it. Also Luo Jiahui as a character is so cool. Yeah get more female characters up in this. I also just have a soft spot for child acquisition fics, and hurt comfort. don't read into that. but yeah tossawary has got to be in the top contenders for sqh writers.
I love this premise author just asks what if protagonist had gun and then doesn't wait for an answer. Hellister au's are always so fun! TLJ as a character is always fun as hell, as well as shen jiu fix it fic that we all needed. He is the star! I also love how sy's obliviousness manifests in other aspects than just the romance. Also I feel like it is tied to his self esteem in a lot of ways, similar to sqh, there's definitely a bit of a transmigrator's complex going on, which to some extent is real; It's hard to imagine that some random millenial could actually be the badass cultivator that you read about in stories. I'm looking forward to the angst of the timeskip. Bro is about to be temporarily fridged for character development so hard. Then it's up to SJ what he does with that. Really going back to the themes throughout the trilogy and fandom thought of just the kindness was there, it didn't fix everything, but it was there and it mattered.
Going off that theme of kindness mattering and softer epilogues, cute little sword spirit au that also hits you in the face with its compelling character perspectives dam. SY as a character really shines here. Like there's a reason he's the main character. Both from his caring for other people and not liking violence, as well as his ability to bring all of these hurting people together. This is the first time I've seen SJ act as a parent parent, so we get to see more of his soft side in this which I love. SY and SJ dynamic hype.
