I have been going through old files, with the result that I found a bunch of old half-finished posts and now have too many things I want to post and not enough energy for any of them
Also I found a bunch of old sedoretu notes and now I'm thinking about MDZS sedoretu AU ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think the main differences in that AU are:
1. Madame Yu and Madame Jin spent their childhoods assuming they'd be married someday. When they were both betrothed to major sect leaders they knew it would never happen, but then Madame Yu's useless betrothed made them marry Cangse Sanren and her servant lover just so they could run off together without being *entirely* scandalous, and then she died in that stupid, stupid way without even calling her wife for help!!
2. Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian spent their childhoods assuming they'd be married someday. Yes, this makes it all worse.
3. And even after that became impossible, Jiang Cheng never thought he'd end up marrying Jiang Yanli and the peacock instead, but he'll to what needs done to protect Yunmeng. (Who is the Evening wife in that four? It would have to be an OC or all-but-OC, unless you swerve away from canon and have them propose to Wen Qing in Yiling. Or Qin Su, but that changes a lot later too.) (Unless you assume that Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji got their stuff figured out a lot sooner in a 'verse with normative bisexuality and there's a Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian/Luo Qingyang/Wen Qing wedding at the burial mounds and things go even farther off course.)
4. I think the moieties even all work out?? Wei Wuxian is even the same moiety as Mo Xuanyu (unless you want to make that as fucked up as possible by assuming Mo Xuanyu's mom was the same moiety as Jin Guangshan. Which you could, because he totally would, and then everybody is even more weirded out at Mo Xuanyu being all over Lan Wangji.)
5. This canon needs more not-dead women, there's literally nobody left for them to marry post-canon.
