He braids Luo Binghe’s hair as they speak of terrifying things and barely minds when Ning Yingying leans over Binghe to stare at Shen Yuan’s hands, too close and personal but ultimately he decides Luo Binghe’s hair is too soft and his own hands too restless to stop. He just leans away as much as he can without losing track of the braid.
had to draw SY braiding LBH's hair in Shen Yuan of No Relation by @grubus!! i adore this fic sm, every update really makes my day.

Currently taking suggestions for this series!
Silly stuff to get me out of the writer's block (And out of the AO3 curse... I just got my hand burned :c)
Some info:
Shen Yuan is Shen Jiu's shidi, they met and fell in love during their discipleship.
Both JiuYuan are omegas, which is why Shen Jiu felt comfortable enough with Shen Yuan being a man.
Luo Binghe is treated like any other disciple because JiuYuan are too busy being in love to bully or spoil him. He's still a favorite of SY.
CQM are all one pack, with the exception of QJP. Shen Qingqiu is the QJP Pack Leader, they are a matriarchy.
SY is currently pregnant although the prompt can take place before that.
More info in the first part of the series: Not like they cared
Promps can be credited or anonymous.
Silly Shen brothers AU/fic prompt where Shen Jiu is so tired of of his little brother wandering off and almost getting eaten by beasts, he doesn't know where how he keeps finding these dangerous creatures but he does. He looks away for 5 seconds and his brother is gone trying pet a demonic beast that he is very sure should be extinct.
He's tried everything to stop him but cannot find a way to kepe his baby brother safe.
Until the Luo Binghe shows up and Shen Yuan instantly takes him under his wing. Shen Jiu should have guess his beast obsessed brother would take a shine to the little beast. He doesn't like it all... until he sees Luo Binghe pleading puppy dog eyes actually stop Shen Yuan from wandering into danger.
It's not ideal but Shen Jiu is going use the little beasts ability to stop his brother from killing himself. he's also going to train the little beast to be able to protect Shen Yuan despite his protests. Because Shen Yuan keeps getting poisoned!
This is until little beast becomes emperor of the demon realm and shows up wanting to court his baby brother!?
Shen Jiu is ready to kill him for wanting to court his brother... expect Shen Yuan as empress of dmeon realm would be safe... little beast wouldn't let Shen Yuan get hurt... his brother also clearly has emperor wrapped around little finger (Though Shen Yuan hasn't realized this... everyone else has)
Shen Jiu is very conflicted.
boys and girls of every age wouldn’t you like to see something strange?
also imo, if shen qingqiu were to ever become a parent (not that he would want to), he would definitely be the type of parent who would say “okay, and what happened to the other %?” any time his kid got less than a perfect score in school.
he would also be the type of parent who would say “does it look like i care about how so and so chooses to parent their child? you’re my kid, i only care about you!” in response to their kid saying “but so and so’s parents let them do this!” in an argument.
so shocked was I that I could not find an existing side-by-side that the lord compelled me
you want to die by his hand so bad it makes you look stupid

Stuck on a planet he'd rather never have seen, Xie Lian dreams. Faced with a tsunami of cosmic proportions that will destroy everything he's built, Jun Wu makes a decision. Given an opening, Hua Cheng uses it and takes everything.
Or: the story in which the most terrifying being in all of creation loves a mortal man.
“San Lang, you…” Xie Lian’s head starts spinning. Is it because of Hua Cheng’s proximity, or from elation at the prospect of leaving this backwater planet for worlds he can’t even imagine? He seizes that feeling and basks in it. “Who are you?” Hua Cheng inhales, then grazes Xie Lian’s jaw with his teeth. “Yours.” Hua Cheng’s kiss tastes like lightning. His touch sets Xie Lian’s skin on fire and reaches his bones to take root there, spreading flame through his veins until he’s full of it to bursting. At some point, he grabs fistfuls of Hua Cheng’s clothes and clutches them like they’re his only tether to the world. There’s a lightness growing in him, a feeling foreign and terrifying in its enormity.
@auchrauch drew this gorgeous painting for this part <3

This is how Feng Xin's world ends: in the rain of fire and death, as the universe comes knocking on his village's doorstep and brings with it flames of war. It brings a priest, too, one who calls to his god on the notes of his blood. And unlike the god of Feng Xin's home, this one actually heeds the call.
Or: the story of the end of the world. And the beginning of a new one.
Warships arrive at dusk. Clouded in interstellar dust, they appear on the sky and immediately start raining fire. Forests burn, houses lie in ruin, the world itself groans and cowers under the onslaught a fortress couldn’t have withstood, let alone a settlement without defences. There are no evacuation ships. Not that it would change anything if there were—the army blankets the sky so densely not even a sliver of starlight makes it through. Feng Xin looks up and, without a shred of doubt, knows this is how they all die. “This is insane!” Mu Qing screams as they run between burning houses and craters some of the buildings have already turned into, and try to herd the survivors away from the bombardment. “What do they even want?!”

Nightmares are a persistent thing. Xie Lian's greatest one raises its head from the dead in the least expected moment.
Xie Lian aches. Down to the marrow of his long-dissolved bones; to the deepest forces linking particles of what makes him himself; to the darkest, faintest thoughts that have ever run through his mind—he aches. He aches when he moves, aches when he lies still, aches when he lets Hua Cheng pour power into him until he’s full to bursting, aches until it settles and then after it’s long gone; he aches, aches, aches. Pain courses through him, sets what may yet remain of his nerves on fire and unleashes thousands of unseen worms crawling under his skin. They aren’t there. Never. They don’t exist, and the crawling is merely sensations firing up in echoes of his nerve endings and synapses in the memory of his brain that fails to process so many impulses all at once—fails to have realised it’s all but gone. He runs a fingernail down his chest. The skin splits easily in a clean, smooth, deep cut. There’s no blood. No fat, no viscera, no bone peeks out from layers of tissue. There is no tissue. There’s only light: blinding, potent, pulsating golden light.
