    Summary

    Shen Yuan is reincarnated as a cannon fodder character and eventual murder victim in one of the whodunnit arcs in Proud Immortal Demon Way. Things escalate quickly.

    Or: that one where young Luo Binghe’s career goal is ‘Bride’.

    ---

    Shen Yuan shut his eyes as a young man waiting to die in a hospital and opened them again as a wrinkly infant covered in substances best left unimagined.

    “Fuck off, Nicky.”
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    “Hasn’t anyone ever told you spider-napping is illegal?”
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    “You can’t hold me here, I know my spider-rights.”
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    “God, you guys are so old. What are you? Like 27?”
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    “Scale of 1 to 10, how upset would you be if I told you I banged your mom?”

    Or, I got my grubby little hands on the spider-man time line and fucked around a little bit. Not much (everything) changes.

    Summary

    (I am the one who says 'fuck you') - Benjamin Garcia, 'Ode to the Corpse Flower'.

    Petunia drips magic the way she drips anger. Sparingly. Subtly. Nothing overt or obnoxious. Nothing that attracts the stares of other children or the suspicion of adults. Just things that help her. Her dolls line back up after the football Lily was kicking about ruins their perfect symmetry. Her bed makes itself while she brushes her teeth meticulously. Tea that is slightly too hot or too cold settles to the perfect temperature. Magic maintains the realm of order she has built around herself.

    (A witch!Petunia and muggle!Lily AU, covering the Marauders' years at Hogwarts and the First Wizarding War).

    Summary

    Luo Binghe peeks up at him, eyes rimmed nearly as red as his demon mark. “Shizun won’t send me away from him?”

    Slowly, almost involuntarily, Shen Qingqiu's arms come up to embrace Luo Binghe in return. He’s already gone totally off-script here, what’s a little more adlibbing? He has fifteen seconds left before Luo Binghe must enter the Abyss. “I won’t,” he says quietly. “But you must be brave, Binghe. This will not be easy, but there is only one place for us to go. Shizun is sorry.”

    The two of them are only a few paces away from the cliff. Even without access to his cultivation, Shen Qingqiu has a height advantage, and more importantly, he has surprise on his side. It is almost too easy to clutch Luo Binghe tighter in his arms, step forward, and --

    Shen Qingqiu really hopes he doesn’t die when he hits the bottom. That would be so embarrassing.
