Lost Motivation To Finish This But Here You Go

TGCF x Epic au

This might be incoherent and not make any sense because I'm just trying to get this down. For now all I have right now is just Xie Lain and not any other tgcf cast but I'll deal with that later.

Sometime during the end of Xie Lian's 2nd banishment he ends up in the ocean. Originally the plan was just to help some fisherman in exchange for food but a storm hit (just his luck) and he got thrown overboard. Next thing he knows he's waking up on the shore of an unfamiliar land

Logically this makes no sense and considering the world building differences in gods and monsters (ghosts too ig) that tgcf and epic are two separate worlds that Xie Lian just so happens to cross over.

Now for convenience I'm just going to say that Telemachus finds him when returning from some diplomatic mission (not the one from hold them down, we're not that far). Now while I do want XL and Athena to meet, Athena hasn't met telemachus yet. So, Telemachus (somehow) recognizes that Xie Lian is some kind of swordsman (even though he stopped using a sword after what happened in Yong-An, just role with it) and asks Xie Lian if he will train him in exchange for a place to stay. Xie Lian reluctantly agrees because, well, it's been a while since he had a decent meal

Cut to a little bit later (little wolf), Telemachus can hold his own a bit better then in cannon but Athena still steps in and along with quick thought and the bit of training from xl, Telemachus holds his own for a lot longer... though of course some other suitors step in because why would they ever fight fair. So, in steps Xie Lian and they actually win the scuffle (we'll say it wasn't a big group of suitors).

I don't think XL has been there long enough to already get into a fight and I think he knows that if he does try and fight them that it will end pretty bloody

Athena talk to both Telemachus and XL, intrigued by this mysterious fighter who looks to be younger then the prince yet masterfully skilled. I think Athena and Xie Lian would 100% get along, feeling rather similar in the failed teacher aspect. I do also believe that they would exchange information about each others worlds and Athena would convince XL that he should pick up a sword again (I like swords and I like Xie Lian, sue me)

Somewhere down the line XL is able to convince some suitors to become guards instead. They're faith in Antinous bruised after seeing him get beat up by the prince and some random teenager. Perhaps XL even convinces them that Penelope won't ever love them.

Hold them down and Odysseus still happen except they're a lot less because one, Ody has allies and two, less suitors

You might be wondering how XL gets back to his own world. Well, after OdyPen is reunited and safe (no more naughty suitors), Xie Lian’s work is done, he's not exactly needed, which becomes the catalyst first his third ascension (Don't worry about the logistics of Xie Lian ascending to his worlds heaven while in another world.)

For now that's all I got, perhaps more things happen that cause other tgcf cast members to end up in Epic, perhaps the story just goes on as it is without anymore mention of it outside of how it affected xl (and hence affected cannon)

I totally love the idea of this greatly affecting cannon somehow bur it not even coming up until well into post cannon

Hua Cheng trying to get out of calligraphy practice (xl isn't letting him flirt his way out but he knows how much his husband loves talking about swords): The craftsmanship of Gege's sword is very unique, would he perhaps te me where it's from?

Xie Lian: Oh, a goddess from another world gifted it to me

Hua Cheng:

So the system gives out coolness points at (What I'm guessing) is the end of the month.

This is great and all, especially if you imagine it happening in the middle of the night and it each individual message instead of compliling all of them. So just every last night of a mouth he's just laying there as they ding off

I feel like Binghe definitely worries about this at first but Shen Qingqiu probably (like the little liar he is (affectionate)) says it's just a ritual from his hometown. That's how he explains most of his weird behavior. Of course, Luo Binghe, being the good husband he is decids to do this tradition with sqq. It sort of becomes a little tradition of their own that sqq looks forward to, just some time where they can sit together and enjoy each other's company without worrying about their responsibilities. Sqq has long learned how to tune out the system by the time it becomes a established thing between them but then it's less about the system and more about spending time with his husband

Girl failure? Yeah I failed that too

Shen twins au where Shen Jiu's qi deviation (the one that killed him in cannon) almost kills him and messes up his cultivation (and health) to the point where he won't be able to act as peak lord. Though SJ, refusing to let anyone knows this (show vulnerability) decides to get someone to cover/pretend to be him. Cut to Shen Yuan, who is a rouge cultivator, being dragged into the role of peak lord (only YQY and MQF know its not SJ).

Everything goes as it dose in cannon though SY dose talk to SJ to give him reports on what's going on. SJ lectures him about being too nice and ruining his reputation but SY doesn't listen.

Anyway, after the immortal alliance conference SJ is finally ready to retake up his role, which is great because SY isn't all there mentally. People chalk the personality change to SQQ grieving. Plus, SJ doesn't feel as terribly about everyone after hearing SY talk about them so positively.

I think LBH reunion with his shizun would just SJ chewing him out for causing SY so much grief. At this point he dgaf about not letting LBH know that him and SY are different people, his twin is hurting. LBH realizes that SY regretted what he did and decides to track down SY. I'm guessing this doesn't go too well but LBH doesn't think SY hates him so they do get to talk at some point

Anyway they get married eventually, SJ hates this

Epic songs that fit Svsss characters/moments

Epic and scum villain are currently my favorite fandoms (not counting tgcf) so I wanted to make this list. Also please give me any epic x svsss fics or art, I'd greatly appreciate it (I've already read the suffering fic)!!!

Just a man: This was actually what inspired this list and the idea for an animation won't leave my head. This is Shen Qingqiu during the abyss scene. This is him trying to rationalize pushing Luo Binghe. The whole first half of the song is him saying how he couldn’t possibly do it. You'd replace "Deep down I'd trade the world to see my son and wife" with "Deep down I'd trade almost anything to save you from this fate" (yes ik it doesn't sound good or rhyme but I'm terrible at anything music based or poem based). The silent beat between "I'm just a man" and the "but when dose a comet become a meteor" is the system reminded him of how many points he'll lose (and maybe how many he has), so he get that final push to turn his sword onto Luo Binghe.

Luck runs out: OK, this one is not even close to cannon but I'd love if this happened even if it's slightly occ. Also this isn't nearly as long as just a man bc that one actually has been haunting my brain like Christmas in October. I can see this is moment between Shen Qingqiu escaping the water prison and self destructing where somehow Shen Qingqiu runs into Shang Qinghua. I think that it would be more likely to happen if they were a bit closer and if Shang Qinghua wasn't fully sure that the mushroom bodies would be ok. I think it could sort of be Shang Qinghua trying to get Shen Qingqiu to flee the city (this gets shut down either by Shen Qingqiu telling him about the blood mites or Luo Binghe almost having qi deviation)

Wouldn't you like: Doing time jumps because I'm going in Epic order. This is literally just some sort of knowledge person rewarding Luo Binghe for helping them. So they tell him about Xin Mo and how all of his enemies (or monsters), that will kill him if he doesn't become stronger, will be easily defeated with Xin Mo

There are other ways: A woman who was supposed to be a wife trying to get out of a lost fight. Of course Luo Binghe doesn't care so instead she gives him information about a prophet that can help him escape in exchange for mercy.

No longer you: I would talk about this but there are already at least three animations on YouTube on this, they're both so good. [animation 1] [animation 2] [animation 3]

Monster: Luo Binghe finally "snapping" or coming to terms with his blackening (in the abyss)

Suffering: Sirens that were either a wife plot or wives themselves originally, probably both. Luo Binghe trying to get info out of a siren that looks like his beloved shizun, thats it. There is also a really cool animation of this on YouTube. [Animation]

Legendary: this on is only being added because the same creator at the suffering did one if legendary and it opened my eyes. It's pretty much white lotus Binghe talking about wanting to be great then cutting to black lotus (during the five years) wishing for his shizun back. [Animation]

Little wolf: Kind of a stretch but Meng Mo training a young Luo Binghe. This would not be a real fight but old fights that Luo Binghe lost and is reliving in his dreams to see what he did wrong. The only problem would be hurting the mind by hurting someone in a dream. Alternatively: Shen Qingqiu silently cheering on Luo Binghe during his "fight" with Ming Fan. Quick thought would just be the leaves being shot

Not sorry for loving you: I already made a post about this and as you can see by the dwindling lengths of these descriptions, I'm getting really lazy (plus it's late) so just read the post please. [Post]

I can't help but wonder: This just feels like something post cannon where BingQiu finally talk about everything. Luo Binghe probably says something about how he's a monster and has done terrible things and Shen Qingqiu is practically offended that Luo Binghe would suggest that Shen Qingqiu wouldn't love him because of that

This post was too ambitious for one sitting, especially this late but I did it. I might add more when my thoughts are more coherent and I'm not just throwing the pink slab of meat in my skull into the post

BinggeYuan is just Veronica and JD from Heathers to me

Tgcf Fic I wish existed/promt???

!Spoiler warning!

So, pretty much, somehow, someway, after the events of cannon (minus the year that Xie Lian waited) Hualian kick the bucket, don't ask me to explain why. Its ideally after they win the fight against Jun Wu.

Obviously thing one (Feng Xin) and Thing two (Mu Qing) are distraught but years go by and the pain dulls. Oddly enough people do pray to hualian statues, usually asking for love, despite it being known that they are gone. Well, no big deal, mortals are weird.

Anyway, one day Mu Qing gets a few prayers about some ghost in a small town. Usually Feng Xin would be with him but the man likes to keep himself busy during this time (the anniversary). By the time he gets there some local cultivator had already worked things out. Peacefully too, hoe odd. So Mu Qing decides to investigate, perhaps someone destined to ascend.

He some how finds himself at a temple to Hualian, yay... though, there is the cultivator he was looking for. It's a young woman (probably a good thing Feng Xin didn't go) in peach colored robes. She didn't look anything special, her tanned skin indicated that she probably helped out in the fields. She has kind eyes.

What was she doing at that temple though? Praying for love? Maybe not praying but love was definitely a cause. Their was another young woman (oh God, another one) who tended to the shrine. She was probably about a year younger then the cultivator. She wore dark pink robes, almost red and her hair was on a lopsided ponytail.

Anyone could tell by the way they looked at each other... and... wait, Mu Qing recognized the cultivator's smile and the foxish smirk from the other

Oh

Mu Qing thought that gods did reincarnate. That's what everyone knew... but...

His Highness... Her Highness? Looked happy andsodidthatannoyinglittlebratturmedsupreme

Maybe it was best to let them have their peace...

Mu Qing returned back to heaven, something in his chest feeling lighter

I need need need post cannon fics talking about Shen Qingqiu having some form of body dysmorphia

The reasons for it being post cannon is one, he gets to actually work through some of his thoughts instead of just surviving the plot. Two, he actually knows more about Shen Jiu and starts to think of him more as a person then just some terrible villain

I want to be in a state of not thinking the face he wears is his but also having for so long that his old one wouldn't be something he recognized

I just need a scene were Luo Binghe comes home one day and Shen Qingqiu is just sitting on the floor, zoned all the way out, and the mirror (that was in that specific room) shattered

Obviously Shen Qingqiu can't explain what's wrong because how could he and on some level Luo Binghe knows that he won't get a proper answer but just

moshang goes on a date to see the northern lights
