A Mother's Love

by FirefliesNLightningBugs

M, WIP, 191k, Wangxian

Summary: The Cultivation World is Old. Filled with legends and stories about terrible Monsters and perpetrators of great feats. Some of which are lost to time even as new ones are written and rewritten, unceasing as the flow of the changing tides. With tales of the infamous Yiling Laozu being but a recent addition. Three years after the Sunshot Campaign life has moved on. Wei Wuxian is still the Jiang First Disciple, and feels as ineffective as ever. Still haunted by the dead, his own secrets, and his failing relationships; still cursed for the red eyes he sometimes wears. An unplanned occurrence shakes him from the stupor that his life has become. But the dangerous thing about wakeful eyes is that they sometimes land on things that they weren't looking for. - Old Summary (to help find fic/story still same): Cultivators say that Wei Ying is a monster, and he's beginning to agree. But that's ok so long as his family is safe, that will always be the most important thing. Unplanned pregnancy, intrigue, mob mentality, mysterious past/abilities. Siblings live, Jiang Cheng is a good brother, Jin Zixuan is alright to. Diverging AU, combo Mo Dao Zu Shi (novel) and The Untamed (spinoff TV show). Canon typical violence. LZ/WWX.

Wanted to rec a series on ao3 that just dropped part of a new installment. Soulmate au, diverging au, rarepair that combines mdzs and untamed timelines. Starts pre-sunshot campaign. Starts really diverging around the hunt for yin iron. Xue Yang gets a backstory, and'll prob end up allying with the good guys. - Anon

M, WIP, Series, 30k, Xue Yang

Summary: "Xue Yang, he's a delinquent from Kuizhou. They say he killed the entire Chang clan in a single night. A murderer, who needs to be executed for his crimes." Or An au where, in keeping with the theme of MDZS, rumours should be taken with a grain of salt. If they are not blatant lies, then they are usually misconstrued, or taken out of context. No one is born evil. Xue Yang was balanced on a precipice before the Jins found him. What if he'd fallen in a different direction?

A xue yang origin story diverging au, set in a world where soulmates exist. Starts with him as a homeless kid in kuizhou and extends through the sunshot campaign. Hes chaotic neutral, balanced on a precipice, he could fall into evil/despair/nihilistic cruelty of canon (esp if the jin get their hands on him), or with a touch of intervention might find himself on a dif path. Mix of untamed & mdzs - Anon

Proud Author Spotlight

~*~

Proud author here, wanting to announce a new series? Like worldbuilding and side characters getting backstories? Soulmate aus, diverging aus, a story starting pre-sunshot? Rarepairs? Exploring what-ifs? Think xue yang deserved better? Kinda planned fix it au with a twist? Xy/wwx? Cultivation theory? Then this may be the fic for you! Lol :) It is a diverging au set before xue yang does anything unforgivable. He's more chaotic neutral, balanced on a precipice. Whichever way he falls (to the darkness and the jins, a family that could never be & never was; or something better, truer, brighter) depends on the choices he makes from here.
