    Summary


    When Shen Qingqiu drew Shen Yuan’s soul sword, it felt like being burned from the inside out. The fire wasn’t cruel, but it was still fire—hot and destructive, searing the softest pieces of him.

     

    When Binghe’s fingers touch the hilt, he is ready for pain.


    Transmigrated into a version of Proud Immortal Demon Way where cultivators manifest their own souls into spiritual weapons, Shen Yuan finds himself sort of kind of…accidentally blackmailing Shen Qingqiu into taking him on as a disciple before Luo Binghe joins the sect.

    That should give Shen Yuan plenty of opportunities to make sure nothing goes wrong for his favorite protagonist, right? RIGHT!?

    A story of twists, turns, hope, despair, and soul swords. Written for the Bingqiu Reverse Minibang 2023, illustrated and conceptualized by the incredible Suzu!

    Bookmarker's Notes

    This is so beautiful it made me cry. The relationship between SQQ & SY is a highlight. The story is more SY focused than romantic relationship focused (and deals with learning to find love and joy around the pain of living), but the LBG/SY relationships is still gorgeous. The author did something really poetic with the symbolism of the swords, and the angst --> beautiful resolution arc is powerful. And the Mary Oliver poem at the end? Perfection.

    Summary

    After making it to Jin Lan City to aid his martial brothers in curing a strange plague, Shen Qingqiu stumbles his way directly into a curse of his own. The fates have chosen a life to tie to Shen Qingqiu’s own—and of course it would be tied to the early arriving protagonist! As the curse worsens, Shen Qingqiu finds that distance between him and Luo Binghe begins to freeze him slowly. Literally freeze, he is at risk for hypothermia for not being right next to the guy who probably wants to turn him into a stick!

    Wait—what do you mean Shen Qingqiu will also lose the ability to lie!? That's an integral part of him not being unceremoniously sent back to the life where he’s already dead!

    Summary

    It wasn’t gay for Shen Qingqiu to dream about being fucked by a man. Anyone—even the straightest of men, which Shen Qingqiu was—would have dreamt the same thing after seeing Binghe again after all those years of separation. It was only natural!

    Binghe was taller now, with wider shoulders and a chiseled jaw and a deeper voice that had gone straight to Shen Qingqiu’s gut when he’d heard it. Was it so surprising that all this new sensory knowledge would combine with Shen Qingqiu’s extensive knowledge of BL tropes—courtesy of his sister’s novel collection—and cause his subconscious mind to produce a naked, horny Binghe? And what was more natural for a naked, horny Binghe to do than to start having sex with whatever person was closest?

    In this case, the closest person had been Shen Qingqiu. Dreams were funny like that, sometimes.

    Summary

    But everything before the conference, he remembered perfectly well! He knew that he was the lord of Qing Jing Peak—though he couldn’t quite recall his discipleship or being appointed peak lord. He knew each and every one of the disciples he was master to, even if he struggled to remember small details like actually selecting them and bringing them onto the peak. He knew that he used to be a rather strict and harsh master—especially so with Luo Binghe—before he eased up and gradually became a bit more like the teacher he was nowadays. Even though he…couldn’t really remember…why he was so harsh…

    Okay, so maybe Shen Qingqiu didn’t remember as much as he thought he did.

    On the anniversary of the Immortal Alliance Conference, Shen Qingqiu forgets.
