[WIP] sidequest (1/21)

Fandom: The Scum Villain Self-Saving System
Character(s)/Pairing(s): Shen Yuan & Shen Jiu & Yue Qingyuan
Summary: A Shen twins AU. When a botched ritual traps Yue Qingyuan into a dream made of his own memories, it’s up to Shen Yuan and his brother to dive into his mind to find him - and, maybe, reconcile with their shared past in the process.
Content Notes: Canon-typical child abuse and assorted backstory traumas.

So, this fic. This fic has overshadowed my life for almost a year. It started life as a little file titled ‘my 5k love letter to Qi-ge’, and then it kept growing and growing until the full rough draft pushed past 20k. I really want to use this summer to get the bulk of the edits done, and I figure sharing each scene as I go is as good a way as any to give myself some structure.

The fic has 21 scenes of various lengths (seriously - some, like this one, are just a couple hundred words. Some are a couple thousands). The plan right now is to post one of them every week until I’m all caught up with what I have, at which point I’ll just start posting them whenever they’re ready. Note that this is still a WIP/draft - I’ll definitely be looking for beta-readers once I get the full thing done, but in the meantime don’t hesitate to point out typos and internal inconsistencies.
