Summary
Two people dwelled that quaint, quiet cottage. The first was reclined upon a plush bed, chest rising and falling slowly, with downy pillows holding up a tired head. The other was by her side, a chair pulled up close so their fingers might intertwine, familiar and fitting. Two people rested in silence by one another’s side, knowing and accepting and coming to terms.
Two people, but only one soul.
A soul that was, at that serene moment, flickering against the pull of time.

Summary
And Apo knows, now, what they have to do. They knew before, they brought up the idea—
"I need to try something—I want to try something."
But there's no time for ideas now. Only action.
And the seed of a plan unfurls in their brain, somewhere between a lifeline and a death sentence.
"Can all of you guys pretend like you kicked me out?"

Summary
"I became nostalgic. And I missed our time together. But you’re a hard man to find, now. And besides, look at you. You’ve grown into your teeth. You hadn’t been grown then, had you? It wouldn’t be the same, I thought, to find a way for us to spend time together again, like the old days. You, me, and the crowbar.”
“But don’t worry,” Joker’s grin stretched further, completely exposing his gums. “I found an appropriate alternative.”
Or: Jason doesn't arrive on time, but Danny does.

Dude,,, if you read any Dead on Main fic, or even just a DP x DC fic, PLEASE let it be this one. I’m so serious it’s the best take in the “Danny fucking KILLS the Joker” fic I’ve seen, and actually treats it with the emotional weight and impact it deserves. Not to mention the stunning descriptions, visual language, and motifs that are sprinkled throughout. I’m going to be thinking about the apple scene and the fireworks scene for WEEKS.

Summary
Once upon a time, in a land divided by water and mountains and the hands of men into fourteen kingdoms, there was a prince. His name was Prince Timothy of the House of Stoker, ruling over the land of the fae, and though he was neither fae nor human, he would do as a prince should, even if his heart lay beyond, in the kingdom of ever-watching eyes.
So when his father commanded him to venture beyond the land of the fae and into the spiraling forests of the Twisting Deceit, wherein lay a tower so high it was thought to touch the stars, and rescue a trapped princess from that tower, Prince Timothy donned the lightest of leather armors, plucked his bow from the armory, and left his kingdom behind in the glow of the rising sun.
---
Of Prince Timothy, his lovers, and a princess trapped in a tower.

Oh,,, oh this is so soft,,, I’m obsessed with the world building and nonlinear storytelling. Part of me wants more but the other part of me find it perfect as it is. It truly captures the essence of a fairtale and I’m quite in love with it.

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!

They make me SICK oh my GOD.
I clicked on this story expecting a nice, appetizer read. Something with an interesting premise with a humor I know will bleed over from the original books.
What I did NOT expect was to be shot consecutively in the heart 5 SEPARATE FUCKING TIMES. The entire latter half of the story is genuinely fucking gorgeous. The writing style almost reminds me of the extremely popular Hualian fanfic, No Paths Are Bound. Except it’s if NPAB wasn’t extremely well known and also didn’t warn you that it was going to tear your heart out of your chest and eat it in front of you and all you feel is the need to thank it.
I’m obsessed with the dynamics in this. I enjoy the fanon interpretation of Bingqiu more than canon (canon makes me uncomfortable, ngl) and Jesus Christ I think this may be my favorite version of them? They’re obsessed with one another and it feels so REAL and uncontrived in a way that Binqiu kind of. Fails at? To me, at least. But here it’s PERFECT.
And Shen Jiu, oh my god. I want to wrap him up in a blanket and tell him it’s all gonna be alright. Which. Is not an emotion I thought I would ever experience in regards to Shen Jiu. BUT I DO NOW. At least this version of him anyways. There’s something so utterly tragic about him that carry’s a certain weight here rather than in the original books. Ofc, he’s still extremely tragic in the books (such is the entire cast of PIDW), but the fact that his sword is his SOUL and the things that it implies about his character is just. Mwuah.
The entire CONCEPT of the swords representing their souls in fantastic. The things the author does with it is just perfect. I’ve had multiple outloud gasp moments bc of it, and there’s something that didn’t even click for me until the VERY END that made me tear up like a fucking baby. I just need to wrap everyone in this story in a big old hug. Preferably a dog pile of some kind. And also have Shen Qingqiu and Shen Yuan cuddle. They deserve it (even if Shen Qingqiu will grumble like an old fucking man who pretends he doesn’t like it but does anyways bc that’s his SON GOD DAMNIT).
