Also, if you had any question about this AU don’t hesitate to ask! ^^
——————————————————————————-
->General: Before we really start I wanted to clarify some points:
-Shipping: Those are just suggestions ships, if you had another ship in mind for Shen Jiu or want him to go on the aro/ace route with him being perfectly happy with family/friendship love go ahead.
-Luo Binghe and PIDW Luo Binghe are excluded from the ships for Shen Jiu.
-Also if you want to do threesomes, group/harem go ahead.
-Rating: Because this AU is about “Jojo’s bizarre adventure” and “Scum villain’s self saving system” and of the hard subjects involved in the AU, the rating is by default “Mature” but if you want to raise the rating to make “papapa moments” in your take of the AU you can, however, what I’m asking you is to keep the implied non-con, or any other non-con, content as implied.
Now upon the ships suggestions:
JJBA:
->Tomoko Higashikata:
-Despite her temperament she’s a kind woman, very responsible, hardworking and smart.
-She would be the kind of woman Shen Jiu would like.
-They would first become friends and see each other often before falling in love and this would encourage Tomoko to get over Joseph and move on.
-The relationship would begin after the “Diamond is Unbreakable” arc.
-The two would at first live together and after times of living together they would end up marrying each other.
-Josuke would feel a bit awkward at first about his mother going out with the guy he has a little crush on and said guy becoming his step-father but would get used to it with time.
-Shen Jiu, Tomoko, Giorno and Josuke bonding together as a family.
->Weather Report :
-He is a compassionate and kind man who dedicates his life to help those who are in need.
-He would notice that Shen Jiu needed at least someone to talk to and would go to try to give him this help.
-A trust bond would be created between the two.
-Shen Jiu at first would be wary but with time he would find himself at ease talking with Weather Report and would even end up enjoying passing time with him.
-The relationship would begin after the “Stone Ocean” arc.
->Avdol :
-He is a kind man, responsible, patient and very righteous and very smart and wise.
-His calm and patient nature could work with Shen Jiu.
-The relationship would begin after the “Eyes of Heaven” arc.
-The two would get married with the help of the Joestar’s connection to make their marriage legal.
->Lisa-Lisa:
-Lisa-Lisa and Shen Jiu are both similar in personality, they are cold on the outside but are very faithful and ready to sacrifice themself for their closed ones.
-The relationship would begin after the “Battle Tendencies” arc.
-After Battle Tendencies the two will get married.
-Both will keep training with cultivation together.
-When Shen Jiu disappeared before the beginning of the “Stardust Crusaders” arc and it was revealed during the arc that Shen Jiu was held prisoner by dio, Lisa-Lisa planned at first to join the Joestar group in Egypt to track down Dio and save Shen Jiu.
-Unfortunately, due to Holly’s degrading health Joseph, through a phone call, Lisa-Lisa convinced to stay at Holly’s and Suzie’s side to help the SPWF to stabilize Holly with her Hamon and cultivation and being an emotional support for Suzie Q.
-Joseph have done this ‘cause he knew that Shen Jiu wouldn’t want his wife to go on this extremely dangerous mission, even if she’s a very good fighter, and he 100% know that Shen Jiu would never forgive him if he let Lisa-Lisa come to Egypt and anything bad happen to her.
-When Shen Jiu was rescued at the end of the arc, Lisa-Lisa will be the silent type support to Shen Jiu, being always by his side holding his hand during the recovery, calmly and silently comforting him when he is having a mental breakdown ect…
-When Shen Jiu adopted Giorno Lisa-Lisa will become Giorno’s adopted mother and raise Giorno with Shen Jiu.
->Joseph Joestar & Suzie Q:
-Suzie Q was Shen Jiu’s very first true friend with Lisa-Lisa ever since he appeared in the Jojo universe, the two share a trust and affection which would evolve into love.
-As for Joseph, despite their rough beginning, would develop sympathy for Shen Jiu with time and would become attached and close with him despite their opposite personality and Shen Jiu despite finding Joseph stupid would end up enjoy hanging being with him through Suzie’s encouragements.
-The relationship would begin after the “Battle Tendencies” arc.
-After they married Joseph and Suzie realized that while they love each other they both also love Shen Jiu and the latter seem also to have a crush on them but keep it for himself ‘cause he thought he would get in their married life.
-Joseph and Suzie being the eccentric people they are, found the solution: propose to Shen Jiu a conjoined marriage.
-When he was proposed, Shen Jiu was at first taken back and opposed to it, not because he didn’t love them, on the contrary, but because he thought this kind of marriage would be bad for Joseph’s and Suzie’s public image and think he isn’t worth the possible backlash.
-He would try to make them change their mind, telling them it wouldn’t be good for them, to think about how others would think about this kind of relationship and how it would be bad for their reputation.
-But Suzie and Joseph didn’t budge and explained to Shen Jiu that they don’t care about what others would think and it’s not about what others’ opinions but what they, the three of them, want and especially what HE wants.
-After a good talk Shen Jiu ends up accepting ‘cause he love Joseph and Suzie and deep down really wants to be in a relationship with them but just thinks he doesn’t deserve them.
-The conjoined marriage happened and was able to be made legal thanks to the Joestar’s connections.
-If Shen Jiu is in a relationship with Suzie and Joseph then he will also be considered as Holly’s father and Holly will call him “papa JiuJiu’’ since Suzie and Joseph always call him by this affectionate nickname.
-After Shen Jiu was saved at the end of “Stardust Crusaders”, Joseph and Suzie will be a big emotional and physical support to him.
-Ex: They would both comfort him very often with hugs, cuddles etc…
-After Joseph’s cheating was found out Shen Jiu would be furious at Joseph but would also be very hurt.
-Joseph would feel even more guilty than in the general headcanons for having cheated on his wife and his husband, particularly when he knew that Shen Jiu took “trust breaking” very badly and that he was hurt by people who broke his trust.
->Things in the “Diamond is unbreakable” arc would go like in the general headcanons regarding Shen Jiu’s, Suzie Q’s and Joseph’s relationship but with a few differences:
-After having a talk together Shen Jiu and Suzie Q decided to BEGIN to forgive Joseph but it will take time for them, particuliary Shen Jiu, to completely forgive him and Joseph will have to work hard to completely win their trust back, which Joseph accepted immediately.
-After Shen Jiu and Suzie Q would end up completely forgiving Joseph, they would, however, be in a “forgive but not forget” mentality.
-When Shen Jiu adopted Giorno, Joseph and Suzie will become Giorno’s adopted parents along with Shen Jiu.
-To Giorno, Shen Jiu is “a-die”, Joseph is “dad” and Suzie is “madre”.
->Leone Abbacchio & Bruno Buccellati:
-Abbacchio is similar to Shen Jiu as both are depressed self hating men with a lot of issues and who had hard times to deal with those issues so they would understand each other very much which can bring an emotional support to help to heal.
-With Buccellati who is a very kind and patient man who knows how to deal with people with issues.
-This could bring a balance in the relationship which could bring to Shen Jiu the intimate understanding and patience he needed.
-The relationship would begin after the “Golden Wind” arc.
-The three wouldn’t be married but would get a “special civil union” thanks to Giorno’s new connections as Pasionne’s Don.
-Giorno would be very supportive of Shen Jiu’s relationship with Abbacchio and Buccellati as he trusts them to make his father happy.
-Comic moment in which Abbacchio would mentally be like “Oooh fuck I’m Giorno’s step father now!”.
->Caesar:
-Despite having been wary of him at first, Shen Jiu would at first tolerate Caesar but step by step would, without realizing it, enjoy his company step by step, especially since Caesar had a more poised behavior than Joseph.
-After Shen Jiu saved Caesar’s life and Caesar gave him a good “WTF?!” speech after Shen Jiu was seriously injured while saving him from Wamuu, Caesar would decide to help Shen Jiu to recover as he feel in debt toward him, despite the latter’s protestations, and this would permit the two to become closer and to eventually fall in love with each other.
-The relationship would begin after the “Battle Tendencies” arc.
-Because of the times “Battle Tendencies” take place, Caesar and Shen Jiu didn’t get married but are living together as a couple.
-When Shen Jiu was kidnapped by Dio, Caesar was on a mission with a team of the SPWF and wasn’t aware about Shen Jiu’s kidnapping ‘cause Joseph didn’t warn him.
-Joseph hide Shen Jiu’s kidnapping from Caesar ‘cause he know that Caesar would immediately join them on the journey to Egypt and he know that Shen Jiu would be very against Caesar putting in life in danger, when the enemies had abilities which give them a huge advantage against him, and would never forget Joseph if anything happen to Caesar and so he didn’t tell him and was ready to assume the consequences once Caesar find out.
-Caesar finds out after the Stardust Crusaders arc and let’s just say Joseph got a big beating for not telling Caesar about Shen Jiu’s kidnapping.
-During Shen Jiu’s recovery, Caesar was constantly by his side and was VERY protective toward him.
-When Shen adopted Giorno, Caesar became the latter’s second adopted father.
-Giorno call Shen Jiu “A-Die” and Caesar “padre”.
SVSSS/PIDW:
->The possible ships are the classic ones:
-Liu Qingqe
-Yue Qingyuan
-Others peak lords
-Tianlang Jun
-Others SVSSS characters(Luo Binghe and PIDW Luo Binghe excluded of course)
Additional headcanons:
-Whatever he ends up in a relationship with Shen Jiu or not, Tianlang Jun would shamelessly flirt with him and if Shen Jiu is in a relationship Tianlang Jun wouldn’t stop his flirt and would even propose a threesome/groupsome/harem.
-In a relationship, Shen Jiu would be a bit like a tsundere.
-Giorno would be supportive of his adopted father’s relationship(s).
-Because of his good looks and charisma, a good bunch of Jojo characters got a one-sided crush on Shen Jiu.
