    Summary

    "Don't make any hasty moves!" Shen Qingqiu said, keeping one hand lightly on the wrist of the Liu Qingge closest to him. Which -- he thought this was the same one that he'd been following down the stairs, whose hand he had taken in the dark, but he couldn't be sure. Which was, of course, exactly the point and the problem. "I know what this is."

    "You recognize this?" gulped one of the Shang Qinghuas. There were five of them, all trying to sidle into corners or otherwise get out of the line of sight, but this one looked correct to Shen Qingqiu. He turned towards the author-turned transmigrator.

    "Yes, and I'm sure you will too with a little prompting," he said, glaring at Shang Qinghua. "We're dealing with doppelgangers."

    A quest for a valuable artifact takes the Peak Lords -- plus one Demon Lord -- into the Temple of Ten Thousand Reflections. On the way down, they come face to face with some unpleasant realities, and must find the truth about themselves and each other before they can escape.

    Summary

    The Liu family has money troubles. As the firstborn, Liu Qingge steps up to provide for his sister and himself. What sort of high-reward, low-effort job can an unemployed martial artist with no work experience whatsoever take in order to surmount financial difficulty? Liu Qingge's easy fix is... becoming a sugar baby.

    Shen Qingqiu hears this, loses his mind, and sends his husband (who Liu Qingge has never met) over to be Liu QIngge's first client. Unexpectedly, Liu Qingge and Luo Binghe seem to be quite compatible...

    Summary

    Later, Shen Qingqiu would not be able to say that maybe it was the wine that led to disaster. No, it was definitely the wine that led him to disaster, but usually people at least pretended like they didn’t know exactly why and how they fucked up. Shen Qingqiu couldn’t even do that, that was how obviously the wine was a bad idea.

    Or: That one where Binghe finds out there’s a reason Shizun doesn’t drink.

    Summary

    He held A-Ling’s little body for hours, rocked him gently in his arms. He held A-Ling until the moment the late night inched into the next morning.

    This time, Jiang Cheng was awake when the world shifted. It took only seconds. The weight of his nephew vanished from his arms. The room around him warped, twisted, contracted.

    He opened his eyes, eyes he hadn’t closed, to morning light in his rooms at Golden Scale Tower.

    Yesterday. Again.
    -----
    There are many contenders for the worst day of Jiang Cheng's life.

    The Nightless City discussion conference has just won.

    And then he wakes up, and it hasn't happened yet. Jiang Cheng soon realizes that, against all odds, he's repeating one day, seemingly the only person who remembers the times before.

    Is it a curse? A second chance? A sick trick from a cruel spirit?

    Whatever the reason, one truth remains: Jiang Cheng has never been good at giving up, even when he can't seem to win.

    “Uh,” Wei Wuxian says. “Like… yeah. For real! Like obviously this wasn’t exactly the best way to bring it up, but look at you! Gorgeous. Capable. My bff-cum-bf. A dilf of the highest order, or, if you want to get technical, a jilf. Lan Zhan and I’ve definitely gotta lock that down. Let’s get married!”

    And then he gives Jiang Cheng double finger guns.

    Summary

    Luo Binghe's efforts to pinpoint and travel to the 'nice' Shen Qingqiu's soul don't go according to plan, which is a slightly nicer way of saying that they fail miserably and only end up spitting him out in front of some unimpressive, irritating flower spirit that he'd apparently married a decade ago and promptly forgotten about. Oops.

    Even worse, Luo Binghe is struck by a curse that forces him to share a telepathic bond with this little spirit until they learn how to get along. Double oops.

    ...Actually, doesn't this 'Shen Yuan' seem a bit familiar...?

    Summary

    “Yes!” Shang Qinghua said immediately, then backpedaled at Shen Qingqiu’s withering glare. “Okay, no, not exactly—but, Bro, the optics! People already think you’re secretly betrothed. The rumor mill’s gone into overdrive.”

    Shen Qingqiu pinched the bridge of his nose. “This sect truly needs better hobbies. Regardless, I repeat: I am not flirting. I am negotiating. Politely.”

    “Politely negotiating with your eyes all soft and your hand on his arm,” Shang Qinghua muttered into his sleeve.

    Summary

    “Tell me who you are.”

    He almost said Peerless Cucumber but the words brought a tingle to his throat. That was his stupid online handle, not an identity Shen Qingqiu claimed for himself, but why would that be an issue? Yet, he couldn’t physically say it. Instead, his lips formed around the truth. “Shen…”

    FUCK! Shen Qingqiu still couldn’t move but his mouth had mostly free reign. He bit his tongue hard enough to draw blood to stop the Qingqiu from coming out.

    What the fuck. How was it that he almost confessed to his identity as Luo Binghe’s deceased scum shizun right in his face?!

    or: the mushroom body's DNA is accidentally spliced with a wife-plot plant. Shen Qingqiu has to deal with this and try to survive being Luo Binghe's guest at Huan Hua Palace.

    Summary

    Luo Binghe finally had Shizun where he couldn’t escape, tied up and at his mercy and still the man wouldn’t talk to him, wouldn’t answer any of his questions and instead kept accusing Binghe of things he didn’t do. Fine, Shizun doesn’t want to talk, Luo Binghe can fix that. He doesn’t want to believe Binghe, he can fix that too. After all, this truth serum was strong enough to work even on Heavenly Demons.

    Summary

    "Shen Yuan."

    Shen Qingqiu's heart lurches at the sound of that familiar, airy voice sweeping through the training grounds. He stops in his tracks, breath catching in his throat. He hasn't heard that name spoken in ages, nor had he expected that person to know about it.

    Murmurs rise among the crowd of disciples, only for the voices to fall in a collective hush as a set of footsteps ring across the grounds, unhurried but purposeful. With his heart pounding in his chest, Shen Qingqiu slowly turns around.

    The person walking towards him is none other than his husband.

    Or should he say, his shizun, Luo Binghe.

    Due to an ongoing maintenance, Shen Qingqiu finds himself in another server where he is the disciple and Luo Binghe is his shizun.

    Summary

    The blob finished rotating into place in a way that wasn’t quite compatible with geometry as Shen Qingqiu understood it, and cleared a throat it didn’t seem to have.

    “Greetings,” it said, somehow clearly addressing him in particular more than the room as a whole despite its total lack of features other than blueness and translucency. “I’m here on behalf of the Hyper-Celestial Peace and Order Enforcement Bureau. Crime scene secure, proceeding to interviews. Beginning with Subject One: You are Shen Qingqiu, formerly Shen Yuan, also known as Peerless Cucumber?”

    Summary

    “Would the honorable Mobei-Jun agree?”

    “WHAT!?”

    There’s a loud crash, and everyone’s attention instantly flicks over to Shang Qinghua standing off the side. He seems to have dropped some large platter of something - he should not be doing something so lowly as serving things, he’s not a servant any longer. But it is very typical of him to mindlessly reach out and start doing whatever unfinished tasks he sees before him, grumbling all the while as if someone is forcing him into it. Right now, he looks gobsmacked. Pale and wide eyed and gaping in shock, looking shaken to his core.

    “Marriage!?” Shang Qinghua demands, his voice high and strangled.

    -

    Several misunderstandings happen in a row.

    Murderbot is at a party.

    This is not a normal state of affairs for SecUnits. Neither is the comfy clothes or the sitting or the way the humans keep smiling in its general direction. The smiling, it suspects, will stop, if/when they realise their SecUnit has suffered some sort of catastrophic glitch and has no idea where it is or the specifics of its current assignment.

    So it's not going to let them find out.

    Summary

    With his hatred fuelled by the undying fires of the Endless Abyss, it’s not so strange in hindsight that Luo Binghe would start dreaming of tearing apart the man who called himself his shizun. What is strange, though, is that this odd version of Shen Qingqiu starts volunteering for his own destruction.

    Or: not quite realising that he’s been pulled into the real Luo Binghe’s dream, PIDW reader Shen Yuan can’t help but push the story along in his own way.

    Summary

    “Mu-shidi,” Yue Qingyuan speaks up, taking his seat at the head of the table. “Have you heard of this curse?”

    “I’m afraid not,” Mu Qingfang says, shaking his head. “A curse of compulsion, with dire consequences for disobedience… I’ve heard of many similar things, but not exactly this.”

    “For all we know, the perpetrator invented this little trap just for us,” Shen Qinqiu says, tapping his fan dangerously. “Tailormade to ruin us.”

    “I have no secrets to hide,” Liu Qingge says, and lifts his chin challengingly at Shen Qingqiu, who bristles in return. “Do you?”

    “Ah, Liu-shidi, if you don’t have any secrets then you should get some real quick!” Shang Qinghua says with bright, manic cheer, his smile and his eyes a little too wide. “The consequences for not meeting the curse’s requirements would be very very bad!”

    -

    The Peak Lords of Cang Qiong Mountain Sect are stricken with a curse that forces them to reveal a secret, and they all must submit to this curse or suffer the consequences...

    Yue Qingyuan wishes he were anywhere but here.

    “Welcome to Wales, Mr. American,” Merlin says.

    “Thanks,” Sam says. “That’s alright, though, I don’t want to be takin’ your magic coins.”

    “She’s lucky,” Merlin says.

    “I make my own luck."

    “So give it to your man,” Merlin says. “It’s bad luck to turn down a gift from a Welshman.”

    “Is it?”

    The coin gleams, too shiny, too yellow, too gold to be real.

    “Maybe not. I’m a special case,” Merlin says.
