Summary

All the fics in this sub-series are canon compliant. That is, they fit with frankencanon--a mix of mostly CQL | The Untamed and the Mo Dao Zu Shi novel, in translation.
Chronologically, these fics begin with the Mo Dao Zu Shi characters' childhoods, move through their youths, the Cloud Recesses Lectures and Sunshot Campaign arcs of canon, and roughly up to the Burial Mounds Settlement Period.
At that point, TEO-verse diverges from canon. Subsequent fics are in the main TEO-verse series, instead.

Summary

I made a place to put everything in this AU that is unrelentingly brutal.
Yes, my TEO-verse AU as a whole does in fact address difficult and depressing themes. The distinction I'm drawing is between fics that are more than 90% pure misery and those that have more of a clear upward trajectory and/or positive mood.
:glances at drafts: You can expect this sub-series to end up having:
~ multiple pieces of pre-canon-divergence traumatic backstory for Wen Ning, Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji .... and Jiang Cheng, Nie Mingjue ... and Wen Qing ... and maybe others ...
~ non-backstory moments of not-sexy darkfic and introspective angst
~ possibly some sexy darkfic
~ possibly some AUs of AU
~ a dead dove tag sooner or late, if my computer stopped eating my drafts
Please note that avoiding this sub-series won't put you in exclusive fluff-land; it's a matter of degree.

Summary

This is the sub-series for works in my TEO-verse that are fun, happy, sweet, uplifting, positive, or otherwise qualified largely as fluff!
TEO-verse stands for Through Each Other; it's a canon divergence AU of MDZS frankencanon, starting from the Burial Mounds Settlement period, focused on fix-it the hard way, unfridging awesome characters, and exploring WangNingXian relationships. The AU is angsty but these fics are not!
There may be traces of angst, as background, but these are fics that are intended to make you feel better by letting you see the characters having a good day. Some works might have relationship-focused or mildly explicit content, but the focus is on general audiences type works, with a joyful tone. Expect chosen family feels, community, friendship, music, tea, cats, rabbits, queer and/or disabled characters experiencing validation, and so on.
Reading these fics won't give you a clue as to the overall plot, sorry.
