Searching for: kind of warprize wangxian fic
Hello! I'm looking for a specific fanfic where the Jiangs (and Jins?) are at war with the Nies and Lans and eventually lose and WWX is kind of a warprize and ends up with LWJ.
I tried filtering for warprize and was unable to find it and haven't been able to come up with the right combination of filters. Things I remember are:
- The Jiangs are not portrayed great in the story/war. The war happens because of some boundary dispute or something like that that WWX doesn't really approve of but leads their men bc he's loyal.
- Eventually the Wens join the Nie/Lan side bc NMJ and Wen Xu have some kind of freak bonding moment about big brotherness or something. It's like wtf but also kind of cute.
- WWX endears himself to the Nie/Lan side bc he calls a ceasefire for a flood and they work to evacuate and save civilians. He also makes sure any captured enemies are treated well and eventually saves Wen Ning from being tortured by JC.
- The talisman designs used to help with the flood are one of the reasons given for asking for WWX after the war.
I have some very specific memories of it and apparently nothing helpful for finding it! It was a lot of stuff that felt unusual plus some of the usual tropes and I remember enjoying that about it. I also don't remember a lot about how the LWJ/WWX relationship develops so I wanted to revisit it. Please help, it's driving me crazy!
