Summary
Shen Qingqiu has seen it. In reflections. In glimpses. In the split second before his husband remembers himself and smiles.
He watches you constantly. He was going to kill that merchant. His hand moved before he remembered himself.But he didn't kill him. So I don't see the problem.
This is the truth Shen Qingqiu will never say aloud: Luo Binghe is not redeemed. He is caged. He holds the keys himself. And Shen Qingqiu is not the warden—he is the bars, the lock, the reason the monster sleeps.
He knows this. He has always known this.
He loves him anyway.
~~~
A post canon SVSSS story about monsters, love and men; for all are too interconnected to be far away from each other.
~~~
There was never a difference between Luo Bingge and Bingmei, but the choices that they made. After all, what is the Scum Villain's Self-Saving System, but PIDW where Luo Binghe is loved?

Summary
The monster did not die.
He was kept. Tended. Loved.
Because Shen Qingqiu looked at the worst version of Luo Binghe and said,
This too is mine.~~~
He counts his breaths. He memorises his pulse. He presses his face between his shoulder blades and whispers words he never hears.
Fifteen years of tea. Ten years of marriage. All of them spent watching him sleep and thinking,
This is the only forever he needs.
Not because they are healed. Not because they are whole. Not because this is the love that stories are written about.
But because Shen Qingqiu looked at the monster and kept him anyway.
And Luo Binghe will spend forever trying to be worth the keeping.
~~~
A post-canon SVSSS fic from Luo Binghe's perspective. Because Binghe knew there was never a difference between Luo Bingge and him. Only the choices they made.
Only the person who stayed.

Summary
He has everything.
Power. Empire. Immortality.
But the one thing he wants—the only thing that matters—belongs to someone else.
To another version of himself.
A softer version.
A weaker version.
A version that was chosen.
Now three months have passed, and he still cannot forget.
The way Shen Qingqiu looked at him.
The way Shen Qingqiu said his name.
The weight of him, warm and trusting, for one stolen night.
He tells himself he is better off here.
He lies.(Basically another Bingge steals SY from Bingmei fic)
(Can be read as a standalone)
