    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!

    Summary

    When Obi-Wan Kenobi was twelve, he was told he was too angry to ever be a Jedi. He wasn’t good enough.

    Only weeks later, he offered up his life in exchange for hundreds of others and Qui-Gon Jinn found him worthy.

    When Obi-Wan was thirteen, he chose the war-torn streets of Melida/Daan over the orders of Master Jinn, and he ceased being a padawan of the Jedi Order. He resolved the conflict there and then, unsure where else to go, sought out his family on Tatooine.

    It was clear he couldn’t fit himself back into a life he was taken from as a small child. So, just shy of his fourteenth birthday, Ben Lars presented himself to the AgriCorps.

    OR, the one where AgriCorps Specialist Ben Lars is recruited to assist in the settlement of the clone troopers after the war ends.

    Vokara speaks before he can. “I didn’t come here for your permission. I don’t need it. I am a Master Healer, and it is my right to take an apprentice.”

    “And you want Obi-Wan Kenobi?” Mace Windu asks.

    “Yes,” Vokara answers.

     

    Or, Obi-Wan is wanted, becomes a healer, and this changes everything.

    Anakin Skywalker reincarnates as an outright energy being in the world of Naruto, something of a shapeshifting Bijuu with little to no conscious memory of that past life, and his settling near Uzushio makes increasing ripple effects on the plot - an entity with enormous power and no interest in expansionism, but a covetous enthusiasm for the people he cares about, is a threat to the political movers all through the world.

    Summary

    Padawan Kenobi is too young for a Padawan of his own. Fact. Master Jinn would have absconded with the boy, but he was dead. Fact. Anakin Skywalker is a star-bright tempest in the Force, with enough love in his heart to stop a rampaging bantha in its tracks. Fact.

    Plo Koon does not, in fact, have a Padawan learner. Fact.

    “Are you single?” Gaara asks. He’s not sure how he’s meant to do this.

    “Oh, I see,” the man says after a pause. “I’ve read about this. You’re asking me out, and I should answer based on my interest rather than my actual relationship status.”

    Good, he’s making this easy, Gaara thinks.

    Summary

    A drunk M'dame can be hilarious or terrifying. Isabeau is still trying to figure out which category this particular instance of her falls into. Maybe it's both? Like, her thinking Siffrin could be an assassin will be very haha-funny in the morning. Right now Isabeau's a little worried for his buddy Sif, though, and since he's only mildly tipsy from a couple beers, it's his job to make sure M'dame isn't going to do anything rash.
    -
    Or, Siffrin's still relatively new to the group, and his new companions can't help making some guesses about him since he's not saying much. Both are off the mark. Drinks are involved.

    “Wouldn’t they?” the star asks slyly. “How well do you know them, really? Where are they from? Do they have any siblings? Pets? Pastimes? Past crimes? What sort of work did he do, before he started traveling?”

    No one answers.

    -

    “HA HA HA!!!!!” Loop almost screams. “What a fascinating notion!!! But, just for the sake of argument, consider this counterpoint: eat shit and die!!!!”

    “I just don’t think it has to be like this,” Siffrin mutters.

    -

    She doesn’t flinch. Every muscle in her body deliberately Doesn’t Flinch.

    After everything, Loop is struggling to find their place in the world. Siffrin is struggling to adjust to life outside the loops. Isabeau is struggling to balance his love for Siffrin with his need to keep them safe, alongside his own worries about Changing. Politely, things could be better!

    But when Loop joins the party on their journey, things tilt even more drastically off course. They'll all need to reconcile their past with their present growing feelings and with the future they're beginning to want. Maybe they'll even do it, too.

    It will just blinding suck along the way.

    Boops Isabeau on the nose, rocking back onto their heels. Sing-song, they say, “And he kissed you! Didn’t ask first, or anything! Didn’t say a word! Isn’t that disgusting? Isn’t that hilaaaaariously repulsive? And I bet he didn’t even tell you! Bet they just wanted to enjoy having your love, even though they don’t deserve it! Lucky you have me here, your good ol’ helpful Loop—”

    As gently as Isabeau can manage with his feelings roiling within, he pushes Loop back, out of his personal space. Loop’s eyes go wide, something inscrutable flashing across their face, and Isabeau worries he might have hurt them somehow. That is, until they dramatically fall onto the ground, sprawled out like a fallen star, and they laugh and laugh again. Through the giggles, they eke out, “Oh! Oh, stars! Yes. Yes, just like that. You know your lines so well. You pushed him away just like that then, too.”

    Summary

    After breaking free of the loops, Siffrin is more than ready to move on and enjoy life again. They’re with their family—their friends—for another journey, one without the King’s Curse nipping at their heels, and everyone will be together for the foreseeable future. So Siffrin is fine. Great, even! The others don’t need to know that their experience in Dormont still hangs heavy as a noose around their neck.

    They just need to get over it.

    -

    Or: Siffrin has trauma, learning to open up is a process, and the others realize the loops left deeper scars than previously thought.

    “Don’t be fucking annoying,” he growls. “Tell me how fucked up I am for going at you like I did. Call me a villain, boo me, say I’m a bad sport.”

    This time, the expression on his opponent’s face seems genuine- which is somehow even more irritating, because she has the audacity to look offended. “Why would I do that?”

    Summary

    The System's OOC function won't unlock all at once - instead, character traits have to be added individually, through quests.
    This leads to Shen Qingqiu having to jump through endless hoops just to complete enough side quests to unlock the ability to be a decent person - all while avoiding the effects it has on those around him.
    If only the cheapskate System wouldn't keep changing the cost of point values - he needs to know what the hell Yue Qingyuan told the others about him that makes them all look so sad when he does manage to be nice! He's breaking his back here, can't we just appreciate his work?!

    Delightful fusion of Disco Elysium and Slay The Princess with Harry in the role of the protagonist but far from alone there, abruptly coming to walking on a path in the woods - after an initial scene-setting confusion. Lots of mental chatter, formatted like DE, and comes out the door swinging at some of the tonal similarities between the games
