    Summary

    "My horse is hitched to a post closer to Asperger's and autistics than narcissists and sociopaths, but that's not what you want to know. You want to know how I faked my genetic profile."

    Jack straightens. "The Bureau doesn't discriminate along species lines--"

    "Unless, of course, you lie on your application or tamper with the genetic screening your employment is conditional upon," Will counters, upper lip curling in disdain. He's not devout, content to be ignored by Others and gods alike, and though he acknowledges the usefulness of the Compact, he considers the monthly tithe too high a price for the boons they receive in return. He's still going to argue this point with anyone who'll listen, because as little as he likes Others, he appreciates hypocrisy even less.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    so interesting and well written, does ery well on the eldritch part. i like the wholegods aspect-
    "Only if it turns out those girls were, in fact, sacrificed. And even then, I would argue it's possible she could have remained in the dark. Up until the day of his death, Abigail had a devoted father who cared for her very much. One rarely looks for the monster inside one's own family, Agent Crawford, especially when the monster loves you."

    Summary

    Normally, this is the part where Will would pick up his cell phone and leave an anonymous tip on the police crime hotline, tell them there was a cannibalistic serial murderer lurking around the area code of the phone number given in the ad. But not today. Not when his very bones ache and all the raw and bruised places on his skin throb in time with his pulse. Not when exhaustion is slowly eating away at him in a way that has nothing to do with how little he slept last night.
    Not when these ink-stains on his fingertips and the man behind them are his last chance to get away.

    Fill for HannibalKink for this prompt: "Will is in an abusive relationship but can't see a way out - he's tried to leave before, but his partner is in law enforcement and always manages to track him down while pretending to be the understanding, forgiving, loving type. One day, Will stumbles across an ad in the Classifieds of the cleverly worded cannibal-seeking-fresh-meat-but-veiled-as-private-cooking-classes type, and decides to answer. Hannibal is pleased when his ad bears fruit, then surprised when his intended dinner apparently knows exactly what he's in for."

    He's going to kill Shen Qingqiu before Proud Immortal Demon Way even begins, and Shen Jiu, the weird, secretive cultivator he met in a teahouse, is going to help him.

    Summary

    In which Shen Yuan flounces around the PIDW timeline in different roles and makes a mess of everything. He likes to think he helped make some things better, but he’s pretty sure he made things worse too.

    Apparently, constantly leaving behind a protagonist that has major abandonment issues was a bad thing.

    …Huh, who knew?

    If Shen Yuan could go back to redo his first meeting with Luo Binghe (Yes, the one where he pretended to be a fortune teller. No, not the one where he picked him up from the Luo River.)

    He thought that it wouldn’t have gone very differently.

    After all, how could he have predicted this??!

    “A’Yuan,” Luo Binghe (as in LUO BINGHE) purred as he leaned into Shen Yuan’s…well, everything, really. “Would you kindly tell this lord where you’ve been for the past five years?”

    Danger! Danger!! Danger!!! Important things must be said three times! And the protagonist looking like he was going to eat him alive was 100% f*cking important okay!?! Also, how the hell did he find out about his identity?!?! SYSTEM! WHAT THE F*CK??!!

    (OR: Giving Binggē a happy ending, one version of Shen Yuan at a time!)

    Summary

    During one of his habitual stays at the hospital, Shen Yuan decides to kill some time by playing PIDW’s first game release, Proud Immortal Demon Romance — a mobile otome game that focuses on romancing the male characters. Hoping from the bottom of his soul that Airplane put tons of never-seen lore in the game, Shen Yuan immediately starts playing the Cang Qiong Peak Lord’s route, which takes place during their disciple years. After playing hours into the night, Shen Yuan goes to sleep with a migraine and a shamefully big charge in his credit card.

    What Shen Yuan doesn’t expect is to wake up as his in-game character with a System that demands he finish the game if he wishes to return home.
