I Really Do Love All Of Them!!! - Tumblr Posts
Really?! Ahhh, okay!!! Here's some stories/authors I'd like to recommend! I ended up naming waaay more than I meant to, but! How could I not??? I love them so much!
I tried to include word counts along with the appropriate links and descriptions... and mandatory gushing, because! These are all! So good!!!)
I actually just finished rereading Nyoomerr's stuff myself, and, ahhh!!! Very good choice, I loved reading them!!! A++!
The one I'm currently most in love with is finished but not finished being published - so it has a guaranteed completion - and is a Luo Binghe time travel from the middle of book 2. By VeryCharismaticDragons, A Transmigrator and a Time Traveler Walk Into the Bamboo House is currently my absolute favorite time travel SV fic. Their characterization is amazing, and they pay attention to all the little details from the book! The characters are emotional in believable ways - Luo Binghe is trying so hard and he's still not okay and just- if I had to only recommend one story, it would be this one.
The Feels Whale - Just. Everything TheFeelsWhale!!! They write both short and longer fics, and I can't recommend just one!! What Dreams May Come (45k 15/16 chapters) - what if, during SQQ's 5 year dirt nap, he ended up in Luo Binghe's dreams? It is highly NSFW, so prepare for that - but hooo boy is there plot!! Achievement Unlocked (51k), where they end up temporarily reverse-transmigrating into Shen Yuan's world as a post-cannon extra! Binghe gets a System when he immediately chased after an unwillingly disappeared Shen Qingqiu - and Shen Yuan's backstory is more than it seems!! Tongfang (25k) is just. so good? It's a Shen Yuan transmigrates as someone else fic, and they pull it off really well?? He's still very much our Shen Qingqiu, just under a different name. ^_^ Dust and Broken Grains (5k) just got a continuation sequel and - just. LBH has a breakdown in Jinlan city and unlocks SQQ seeing him for himself early - nothing is fixed yet, but it's such a promising future!!! There'slso A World of Water and Crystal (38k), but I should really move on to the next author--
AMereDream. They write a bunch of really good, really meta fics! Lots of really great characterization!!! Continued is a super meta story taking place in a parallel version of SY's and Airplane's original world - I'll just copy these tags :3 Shen Yuan didn't die & aka what if the bingge vs bingmei extra got written into pidw and just. So much meta. 8 chapters, 14k, includes Shen Yuan livestreaming 25hours straight filling all of PIDW's plotholes via some of the comments section.
(AMereDream Continued) Write Me Well is just - a fantastic look at Cucumber and Airplane and is also super meta. Short, 4k, and well worth the read. And the same name and now you know the truth (now forget and be content) for some SJ!SY goodness - I personally only really like this concept in limited scenarios. These are those limited scenarios. And- okay, I need to move on - just know there's more <3333
X_los. Just. X_los. Without A Clue (16k), where Luo Binghe stumbles into a good ending by finding the cure for Without a Cure early! Peerless Melons vs the Patriarchy, which is part of a genderswap series in which Shen Qingiqu (both original and new) is a girl - but still in love with Binghe, and still in denial about it. XD Anyways, Stan Shen Qingqiu (5k), where a new transmigrator (to acompletely different story) runs into The Shen Qingqiu, of Resentment of Chunshan renown - and finds a godsend of a senior transmigrator, bc this one is just. "running around half-baked." SVSSS Miscellany(53k) which is just. A bunch of cleaned-up, really fun twitterfics
Okay, you can't read Scum Villain Fics and not read Feynite's Scum Villain AUs! It's 41 different chapters for I think 23 different AUs - some have more continuation chapters - and is about 480k words, currently! There's an AU where instead of PIDW, Shen Yuan wakes up as a hecking dragon in a dragon world and it's just---! There's a "Supervillain" AU where he wakes up as a supervillain (SJ) in a world he'd never read about, but he can tell what kind of universe it is! There's so many different flavors, and all of them are so well-written!
FOR YOUR SHEN JIU AND SHEN YUAN NEEDS!!! Local 12 Year Olds Refuse to be Separated; What Happens Next Will Warm Your Heart by allula is just. Wow. I really really wish it was longer than the 47k it already is - it's incomplete, but was last updated Feb '21. Basically: What if PIDW had Fusion from Steven Universe, and Shen Yuan was not transmigrated into SQQ but as a slave along with SJ and YQY?
I Wish You Were My Husband by Feynite - 110k with a 320k companion and sequel piece - instead of writing PIDW, Airplane wrote - well. The summary goes: "Wherein Shen Yuan transmigrates into a harem intrigues romance novel (gay edition), Yue Qingyuan really fucks up, Liu Qingge is not suitable for his job, and no one even remotely sees Luo Binghe coming." And our poor Shen Yuan never finished the original novel - he died near the end of the first book in the huge series- so he has no idea what fate would befall the world... or his servant, who quickly became one of - if not his most - favorite people in this new world. Just. Really good, and the companion piece just keeps on giving! A Bingge crossover extra, SJ being reborn and SY and LBH taking him in, YQY realizing so many things (way too late, as always).
Can't we just skip to the end? (59k) by chaoticgoodlawyer and it's ongoing sequel, Don't You Know (That I'm Yours) (295k)!!! A really good time travel fic, where post-canon LBH swaps places with Disciple LBH, about a year before the Abyss! Our favorite Bingmei knows all about his husband, and wants to help give Shen Yuan (and his younger self) a better future without all their misunderstandings. However, this doesn't mean everything is easily fixed - as the 300k sequel (almost finished, but not quite!) shows! The relationship between Luo Binghe and Shen Qingqiu is just - adorable??? Amazing??? Really warm and loving and wonderful??? Aside from quibbling with 1 character's characterization (read below) I really really do recommend this. I've reread this so many times, and I know I'll keep rereading it in the future!!!
(Their Yue Qingyuan starts from the negative fanon version of him - always going Xiao-Jiu Xiao-Jiu, never letting him go, being more...idk, and where sqq is frustrated by him rather than feels like he's a good big-brother figure - and then following a very reasonable devolving as the story goes along. It makes sense story wise, but it's just - bugging me extra right now, and his ending is a bit much. but that's over 300k down the line of an otherwise fantastic story.)
The best Luo Binghe by Neery is a quick (10k) but good NSFW fic with fantastic characterization? It's a very fun and interesting exploration of Luo Bingge being dropped in a convention and just rolling with it - and picking up Shen Yuan cosplaying Shen Qingqiu, who is absolutely thrilled to spend time with the best Luo Binghe at the convention :3 (They also have a really good temp!Amnesia MBJ/SQH short story (14k), so good!!)
Sleeping Awake is a really well written short story (9k) by Azaisya, with a temporarily de-aged SJ waking up on his peak, running into LBH, and LBH handling the whole thing quite well (and getting waay more insight into the Peak Master he still wants to impress) and even leading him up to the Sect Master - where communication is eventually had :3
I don't know how well known this one is, but it was the very first MXTX fanfiction I ever read, and how I discovered Mo Xiang Tong Xiu in the first place, so I have to recommend it. An Easy Lie by Nythtak - Shen Jiu is Shen Yuan's older brother, and bonded with him over reading and criticizing this ridiculous story, PIDW. Shen Jiu dies while composing his last text to Shen Yuan, ranting about the story - which he promptly wakes up in. No fool, Shen Jiu quickly blends into the persona of Shen Qingqiu - even if he does end up almost slipping into his anger issues, which he had under control with therapy and his family in his last life. He gets a very nasty surprise when he realizes that he and the original scum villain share a personal name - and an even nastier surprise after he makes an shocking decision at the edge of the abyss. ...I'll go ahead and say that I ended up writing a companion piece from LBH's PoV for one of the chapters, so - I really do love this story, and thank it again for leading me into Scum Villain, The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation, and even Heaven Official's Blessing.
ahhh, there's so much more!!! just - here is a link to my 60 SVSSS bookmarks that I rec&love the most!!
Last few, I'm just going to drop titles and authors because I got too excited and ran out of steam (even though I really want to keep going on about all of them!!!):

*vibrates intensely* Did you say Scum Villain's Self-Saving System????!!! Wpuld you like recs of any kind??? I have bookmarked 1,024 svsss stories (of varying qualities) and I would be happy to reccommend any based off anything you want to read. Long, short, a specific trope or idea- odds are pretty decent I can think of something, but I won't shove reccommendations at you without asking ^^;; But either way, ahhhh!!! Welcome to SVSSS!!!!
I have already gone through an embarrassingly large number of fics on ao3, including all of esama’s fics, all of nyoomerr’s fics, and many more, but I’d love to hear about some of your favorites!
(Also fics where Shen Yuan manages to make Shen Jiu’s life a little happier, either by rescuing him as a kid or just providing support somehow because fuck is that dude’s backstory tragic. Doesn’t excuse his future actions, of course, but I admit I have a weakness for fics where Xiao Jiu becomes a bit of a better person and manages to obtain happiness in the end. Read a few fics where they’re brothers or something and I just love their potential dynamic).
