Canon Divergent/Missing Scenes
"Luo Binghe's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Adolescence" by dearly_anonymous

LBH's pov of the novel pre-abyss. Bingqiu pre-relationship, canon compliant.
 
"wide salt sea" by astronicht
| bingqiu, 7k, E
there's a really popular fanon that SY was chronically ill pre-transmigration (hence why he had time to sit around all day reading web novels)--this is the best treatment of that I've seen.
