Chou_0’s hoard for sleepless nights 🌸
Stuff that makes my sleepless nights worth it.
Fanfiction that I consider memorable, original, inspiring, or that just grabbed my attention and i couldn’t put it down.
There is something for everyone here, sweet, happy, wholesome, angsty, sad (with HAPPY ENDINGS!) with pairings or without.
There are MANY fandoms in this black hole of a collection (I read pretty much anything that catches my attention) with as many diverse warnings, so do please take care to read the tags.
I’m always after something new to read.
*this collection will NEVER be private
**With AO3 new policy on collections, I’m adding the ‘new’ work on the bookmarks IF the work does not have enabled the option to add to collections.

Summary
Sung Jin-Woo is still the Shadow Monarch and he still grows in power unlike any other hunter. However, he doesn't have the system to back him up. He is a reawakened hunter with the skill to create undead shadow soldiers without any cheats or instant healing. Bearing the injuries of the double dungeon must fight the trials ahead of him with far more public scrutiny than before.
In other words
Solo leveling but there's no system and Jin-Woo responds to things like a real person who has emotions. He's still OP but not nearly to the level as in canon. He functions with the same worldbuilding as all the other Hunters in the setting, with things taking a pretty different course in the long run.

Summary
Viserys always let himself be led. And when having Dreams, it was a simple matter of following them as well. Dreams foretold the Doom. Dreams showed him a son. Dreams warned him of the dangers his daughter faced.
But he was not the only one to have them. The difference is that Rhaenyra understood the Dreams for the warnings they were.
As King Viserys debated with himself to name Aegon II, the first son with his second wife, as his heir, he believed that he was saving his daughter. As Rhaenyra watched, she knew it was the realm that would pay the price.

This is a fic that heavily focus on politics and introspection. As result, it is slow paced; -

"It's not about truth now, Rhaenyra, it's about perception!"
And that's her breaking point.
"Perception?" She hisses. "Oh, you want to talk about perception? Fine, let's do this."

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
That line of thinking reminds him of that awful time in Jinlan City, and how dreadfully he’d misunderstood and hurt his Binghe. Bad enough he had to throw him down into the Abyss, and then to have their first meeting be so--
Closing his eyes, Shen Qingqiu takes a deep breath. At this point, he can’t do anything to change the past. He can’t go back and personally fix things! But if he could? Oh, if he could, Shen Qingqiu would do so many things differently!

Summary
In which Luo Binghe finds his master trapped inside the Imperial Palace in the demonic Realm, bleeding out from a knife wound.

Shen Qingqiu absolutely loves him for this. Who knew the blackened protagonist could still be so thoughtful? -

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.

Summary
Liu Qingge survives his qi deviation… in the form of a ghost. Having nothing better to do and no desire to be exorcised, he follows after Shen Qingqiu and decides to haunt him for the hell of it.
It doesn't take him long to realize that not only is this not the Shen Qingqiu he knew, but there is more going on. And apparently Shang Qinghua is involved too? Ah! He understands now — they're immortal fairies given the mission to thwart a dark prophecy of the sect's collapse. Well. He can help with that. And how better than to protect the bookish fairy that's taken his old foe's place?
There are no ulterior motives. Why think such foolish things???
TL;DR: What happens if SY transmigrates just a little too late?
Story marked "Chooses Not To Warn" purely because LQG becomes a ghost in the first scene and I didn't want to agonize over whether that required a MCD warning or not. If it does to you, this is your heads up! No other archive warnings are necessary.
