• i take the parts that i remember | mafia/modern settingl!au, explicit, 56k+

“he’d tell me if i asked,” shang qinghua said, not looking away from his computer. “i just don’t ask.”

“why not?” he demanded, leaning on the cubicle. “i really don’t get you. isn’t he your—um. i don’t know. your whatever?”

shang qinghua didn’t respond.

“what if he’s a creep? or does weird shit? or—”

“i don’t care,” shang qinghua said, turning to look directly at him. “i don’t care what he does.” __

they're obsessed with each other, that's it, that's the fic.

• plant my hands in the garden | zombie apocalysel!au, explicit, 56k+

“that’s all anybody is trying to do, right?” mobei jun continued. “find a way to be safe?”

shang qinghua pressed the heels of his hands into his eyes. “maybe they should stop.”

he could feel mobei jun looking back up at him again. “you think that?”

“fuck all it did me, trying to stay safe,” shang qinghua said weakly, dropping his hands and looking up at him. “i spent two years alone. what’s the point in being safe if i don’t have anybody?”

mobei jun met his stare steadily. “what’s the point in being in danger if you don’t have anybody?”

shang qinghua breathed in, then out. “then i guess not being alone is the real solution then, isn’t it?”

mobei jun looked back at his food. “yeah. yeah, maybe.”

• tiny in vast galaxies | misunderstandings / pining!au, mature, 47k+

along with pining pathetically until he dies, shang qinghua's expectations for this post-canon world of cucumber-bro's making are simple. they include managing the ice palace, eating, and maybe penning a few (less shitty) novels in his limited spare time. retirement, boring and not fraught in the slightest. it's the least this old man deserves. the system, of course, has other ideas.

【request received! more side quests will be made available to the host. please keep working hard!! ヽ(>∀<☆)ノ】

• here to save you, here to ruin you (weren't you the one who called me here?) | royalty!au, explicit, 47k+

mobei jun has loved shang qinghua from when he was still a prince, tugging on his sleeve and staring at the fluttering ends of his yellow hair ribbon.

everything he does next is in the spirit of making sure he never thinks of leaving.

• my cat’s boyfriend’s owner | cat parents / modern settingl!au, explicit, 38k+

mobei jun has one cat.

this giant fluffy gray fuck sitting on his kitchen counter and staring at him with chrysoberyl eyes is not his cat.

shang qinghua leaves cang qiong to start a small medical practice in the town he grew up in.

enter luo binghe.

• the court of the winter king | mutual pining / abo!au, explicit, 34k+

there is not a lot that can be denied to mobei jun. it seems to be cemented by the way that shang qinghua falls into bed with him. yet it seems that while shang qinghua will willingly give up his body, mobei jun will never hold his heart.

mobei jun gets drunk off the other man’s body, sinks into it, revels in it and unspools as much pleasure as possible between them. yet, when he grazes his teeth over the small patch of skin where he could leave his mark, shang qinghua always rebuffs him with a nervous laugh.

“my king,” shang qinghua exhales, breath hot against mobei jun’s lips. “it really wouldn’t be proper to do that to a servant.”

mobei jun does not care, but he can sense the layered meaning— shang qinghua does not want mobei jun to do it to him, does not want to push the physical gratification over the edge into something more.

• for him | canon divergence / pining!au, explicit, 32k+

“you take too long,” says a voice from behind him, impatient yet somehow still managing to sound almost impressed. “well, i guess contraband really can’t compare to the real thing.”

he turns around almost immediately, nearly scared out of his skin. wait. what the hell? why was he suddenly face to face with the original goods?!

the other shang qinghua smiles at him. it’s terrifying and definitely eerie, seeing his own face make that expression—cruel eyes, sharp teeth. his blood runs cold in his veins.

“aren’t you supposed to be dead?!” he blurts out.

“well,” the other him mutters wryly, “surprise.”

the original goods have found their way into their world, and moshang, in the middle of a kidnapping attempt, discovers that pidw moshang are the worst at this whole marriage game.

• missing something, desiring something | sex pollen / mutual pining!au, explicit, 22k+

“qinghua,” he said, voice strained.

shang qinghua glanced at him, and the heat inside of his stomach increased tenfold. he felt his breath coming quicker. it was getting harder to ignore. it was getting harder to keep still.

mobei jun stepped over to the side of the bed. he loomed over him, blank expression moulding into something angrier and angrier as he grew closer. “qinghua,” he said again, voice a hiss. “were you poisoned with an arousal pollen?”

_

shang qinghua gets sex pollened and they both suffer.

• oceans away from my soul | pining / soul bond!au, teen, 18k+

“it—it feels like there’s a string or a rope or something, tying us together,” shang qinghua gasped painfully. “it’s like it’s pulling me and yanking me and it’s attached to my bones so it aches.”

__

shang qinghua and mobei jun are poisoned with a plant intended to make two people fall in love. however, the plant offers other solutions for different scenarios. when two people are already in love before consumption, it bonds them together; ties them to one another and doesn’t let go. shang qinghua feels his love in his chest and mobei jun feels it in his bones.

• moonflowers | vampires / modern setting!au, explicit, 17k+

shang qinghua opened his eyes. he searched mobei jun’s face, to look for any apprehension, any fear, disgust. he found none of it. if anything, he found awe—hope that shang qinghua would not think less of him because he was human. shang qinghua reached up to grab a fistful of mobei jun’s jacket. he pulled him down, until their foreheads were pressed together. “try and stay away from me and see if i let you go.”

• the prince and the pauper | identity swap, historical!au, mature, 15k+

shang qinghua dreams of becoming a scholar of renown fame, at the service of the emperor and his country, but in the meantime he pays his living expenses by writing questionable stories.

one day by chance he crosses path with a man who looks identical to him, lord an ding. if that weren't enough, said lord offers to sponsor his studies in exchange of shang qinghua impersonating him for a short while.

everything sounds too good to be true to shang qinghua who accepts without any questions. soon he discovers the flip side of the coin. who is that mysterious, gorgeous man built like an erotic dream and why is he trying to kill lord an ding?

• searching for the memory of you | canon divergence, temporary amnesia, mature, 14k+

shang qinghua chose to return to his old world soon after the events of the inheritance ceremony and he wakes up in his old world from his coma after being electrocuted, but he doesn't remember his time in the svsss world. meanwhile, mobei jun does everything to try to find shang qinghua and after months finally manages to tear a portal into shang qinghua’s original world to bring shang qinghua back, only when they finally meet shang qinghua seems to not remember him or any of their past together. mobei jun grapples with the guilt and fact that he hurt the person most important to him throughout the story.

• castles gleaming under starlit skies | courting, teen, 12k+

so apparently, qi deviations are contagious, like colds.

shang qinghua discovers this by walking in to find mobei jun shrunk to a fraction of his normal self, just a chilly little bean!

how long will this last?! why is mobei jun in such a rush to get back to his normal self? and what is this mysterious project his king has been working away on in secret?

my king!! you're giving this old man white hairs!

• hamsterbeam |shang qinghua's harem / 5+1!au, teen, 12k+

the system flashed annoyingly in shang qinghua’s face right when he was about to go to sleep.

[new feature unlocked: hamsterbeam. do you accept? y/n?]

hamsterbeam? wtf is that? shang qinghua frowned but was also way too lazy to care or interrogate the system for more info. he figured because he likes hamsters, the feature wouldn’t hurt to have. it seemed harmless enough like accidental pet procurement or something. the groggy human shrugged and pressed [yes] so the system’s stupid bright window would go away.

he went to sleep, not thinking much and completely unaware of whatever the hamsterbeam could do. he dreamed of being surrounded by cute fuzzy hamsters that night.

the four times hamsterbeam almost landed shang qinghua a boyfriend and the one time it did. and more?

• demon realm publishing firm | corporate/modern setting!au, teen, 12k+

"sorry, i think binghe's actually been awake for three days. shen laoshi had an anxiety episode and wanted to rewrite the whole middle section."

at hearing "shen laoshi", luo binghe [editor in chief] as his nameplate suggested seemed to awaken with a muffled wail.

"shizunnnnn."

no one expects such a handsome fellow to be this pathetic really.

"also. pssst. mobei." hualing attempted to throw one of the many paper balls on her desk at the beautiful man seated opposite but he caught it with his eyes closed. he finally opens his eyes and they are a wonderous, murderous ice blue.

the contract staff takes one step back towards the door, ready to bolt.

this is a slightly insane story of reunited first loves and weirdos meeting printing deadlines.

aka the sekaiichi hatsukoi/publishing firm au that no one asked for.

• walking out of our thoughts | canon divergence, modern setting!au, mature, 12k+

in which mobei-jun is summoned into the modern world by a series of accidental keyboard macros on a breaking laptop, shang qinghua recognizes him, and ice-portals don't immediately work. after well-intentioned if somewhat unsuccessful attempts to navigate the modern world, some revision of proud immortal demon way, a failed ritual, and a successful ritual, the two of them manage to find their own ways home.

• don't count your heirs until they've hatched | fluff and angst / family planningl!au, teen, 11k+

“what are you even talking about?”

shang qinghua wailed. “mobei-jun's going to take a wife!”

_mobei-jun needs an heir. an heir requires a baby. shang qinghua isn't capable of giving his husband a baby.

he might have been ignoring that this is a problem.

surely he wrote something into proud immortal demon way that can help?

• take yourself a-fishing, catch yourself a mermaid | merpeople/modern setting!au, explicit, 11k+*

“hey!” he calls, jogging through the shallows. “hey, are you alright?”

there’s no response, and shang qinghua is starting to think he might be in deeper shit than he had initially thought.

vaguely lamenting his stress free day off, shang qinghua draws close, as another wave breaks over the person in the water with enough force to roll them—him—over.

shang qinghua’s jog slows to a standstill.

“you have got to be kidding me.”

amerman washes up on shore, injured and near death. shang qinghua does the right thing turns around to march himself home, pretending he saw nothing, because he doesn’t need this right now.

yeah, right.

• the art of tempering | rival pastry chefs to lovers /modern settingl!au, explicit, 10k+

tempering, in its simplest form, means to bring two liquids you plan to blend together to a similar temperature before combining them completely; to dilute, qualify, or soften by the addition or influence of something else.

or: mo beijun just wants shang qinghua to notice him. shang qinghua notices him alright. he thinks they're rivals.

• thank you for being a friend | reconciliation, married lifel!au, explicit, 10k+

"friend?” mobei jun said, glaring at shen yuan.

“i—” shen yuan began.

“you left him.”

a small gasp was the only sound heard for the moment. shang qinghua wasn’t sure if it came from himself or shen yuan.

oh. his husband wasn’t pissed.

he was furious.

sometimes you need to stand up for yourself. in shang qinghua’s case, sometimes you need your hot demon husband to do it for you.

shang qinghua and shen yuan have a much needed conversation about their friendship:)

• winter falls | fluff / modern settingl!au, teen, 10k+

• maid 4 u | boss/employee relationship, modern setting!au, explicit, 10k+

mobei-jun's life is saved from the clutches of the ocean by a sea dweller

• oh, my qinghua | misunderstandings / identity reveal!au, not rated, 9k+

you want to know what happened.” luo binghe is mimicking him, answering mobei-jun’s statement style of questioning with his own. it’s mildly infuriating.

“my recollection of the event is… vague,” mobei-jun admits. “i hoped that junshang could provide clarity on the matter.”

“yes, i think there are a number of things that need clarifying,” luo binghe says coldly, rising from his throne. a wave of killing intent rolls off him, and mobei-jun is momentarily stunned; he hasn’t felt it directed towards him in a long time. “such as how long mobei-jun has been harbouring a god in his house.”

--

mobei-jun looks for answers and finds more than he bargained for.

• a touchy subject | misunderstandings / modern settingl!au, teen, 8k+

moving in with shang qinghua has brought a sense of warmth that mobei jun has never felt before.

however, it also seems to bring with it some strange behaviour from shang qinghua. shang qinghua is skilled at disguising his truer expressions from everyone but mobei jun, and it is quite clear that he’s working hard to hide something from him.

• gifted chains | fluff/smut, explicit, 8k+*

every culture has their wedding traditions, from gifts to ceremony to jewelry. surely he didn't write for the demons in his novel to have such a tradition where he would constantly receive jewelry from his new husband... right? even if he had, what's up with the body harness type jewelry? the expensive gems and pricey metals? something had to be up, otherwise there's no reason mobei-jun would give him a bunch of jewelry suited more towards a concubine than a consort.

• a virgin, a slut | werecreatures/modern setting!au, explicit, 5k+

shang qinghua finds a dog in the road.

the thing is. shang qinghua is, in this order: a virgin, a slut, and also really, really into tall scary people.

“you are a ghost supreme,” he says, unimpressed.

“i’m retired!” he insists. mobei jun’s expression does not change, but he feels a pressure on him that wasn’t there before. “i haven’t done anything like a calamity for years and years and years! luo-gongzhu—”

“this king will exorcise you,” says mobei jun.
