Tall Once More In The Spring Wind by FayJay
(40K, Explicit, WIP 18/?)
(Pre-Canon, Backstory, Canon Divergence, Cangse Sanren, Madam Lan, Kid!Wangxian, Kid Fic, Childhood Friends, Dragons, Lesbians)
Essentially: LWJ's mom and WWX's mom ON THE RUN with THEIR KIDS.
(...and also MY's mom. And any other goddamn moms who need help. Get in the fucking car, ladies, we're saving everybody)
Because here's the thing: LWJ's mother was a cultivator who killed her future-husband's teacher. And I think we all have a pretty damn good idea what might have gone down to provoke that, and why the Lan menfolk never actually explain what precipitated this act of extreme violence, and thus we can probably take a stab at why a perhaps-newly-pregnant lady* might end up agreeing to a marriage of convenience with some guy she really wasn't into, who was determined to keep her locked up in a pleasant little prison in Gusu. And I'd like to say "aww, bless him, he saved his unrequited crush all selflessly like, even though they didn't then live together as husband and wife"....but he subsequently knocked her up with a second child. :/
The ladies in MDZS tend to have a pretty shitty time, so this fic is pulling a goddamn Fury Road and scooping them up and taking them off to form their own Ye Olde Themyscira-ish Rogue Sect of ladies looking out for other ladies.

(Canon Divergence, WWX Lives, Found Family, Reunions, Identity Reveal)
Yiling Laozu was dead, and the cultivation world rejoiced. Now it was time to rest and finally heal the wounds left by the Sunshot Campaign.

Rumour had it he was a ghost.
