A Long Road is a crossover fic written by Vathara, showing what happens when Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation: Mo Dao Zu Shi and Heralds of Valdemar are thrown together and mixed. Mainly, it's a mess.See, Nie Huaisang had a plan to force the Yiling Patriarch to leave the Burial Mounds, and it was to pretend to go on a diplomatic venture to Valdemar, where Lan Wangji would fall into a trap and need the aid of Wei Wuxian to be rescued. And since Valdemar has kind of a reputation for stealing good people, everyone is going to believe it!Then the white horse yao decides to bond with Lan Wangji and now Valdemar won't let him go. Oh dear.In which the Companion objects to be considered a bad spirit, Lan Wangji objects to boyfriend, Wei Wuxian objects to another country stealing his man, and Nie Huaisang regrets everything. | |

Tempting Fate: Nie Huaisang convinces his elder brother to give his blessing to his plan with the assurance that of course Lan Wangji is too strong for letting himself being stolen away, he he... oops. | |

| A Long Road (Fanfic) / int_1b73fada | comment |
Nie Huaisang is extremely skilled when he needs to play The Dandy Upper-Class Twit to the hilt, and his sect is far too happy to let him. This way, the enemy won't waste their time fleeing. | |

Wrong Context Magic | |
| A Long Road (Fanfic) / int_1b9df446 | comment |
Wrong Context Magic: Subverted. While at first glance Valdemar's magic and Jianghu's Cultivation look like two uniquely different powersets, they're actually just two different methods of accessing the same basic collection of energies. Though they interact in unexpected ways to one another, the energy itself still operates on the same core principles. | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
| A Long Road (Fanfic) / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: Discussed when Wei Wuxian is informed of Lan Wangji's "abduction" by Valdemar and discusses with Wen Ning of the possibility that it was very innocuous for the locals, yet alarming-seeming for Nie Huaisang. After all, a spirit impersonating a horse and deciding to take your friend away is pretty freaky. Almost a literal case when Lan Wangji asked Wei Wuxian to come back to Gusu. The Second Jade merely was worried for his beloved's health and sanity, but everyone was left believing that the Gusu Lan's current heir was threatening the Jiang's First Disciple with death. | |

Wild Magic | |
| A Long Road (Fanfic) / int_1f80d7be | comment |
The majority of Valdemar still sees magic as some mysterious, powerful, strange force not to be meddled with. Even those with magic-based Gifts are still largely not understood well or studied beyond "how do we best help people use their Gifts." In Jianghu, cultivator practices are understood well enough to be studied, replicatable, and even use math. While neither trope fits properly, Valdemar's magical practices are closer to Wild Magic while Jianghu's are closer to Sufficiently Analyzed Magic. | |

I Want Grandkids: Nie Huaisang openly bemoans the impossibility to find a bride with enough guts to marry his brother and give him nephews/nieces to spoil and inherit the leadership instead of him, considering the travel to Valdemar as an opportunity to play the matchmaker. | |

One Myth to Explain Them All | |
| A Long Road (Fanfic) / int_5d6a98a | comment |
One Myth to Explain Them All: Downplayed. While monsters, demons, fierce corpses, and mystical beings do seem to be semi-region-locked, this is portrayed more like different ecosystems across the planet. Meanwhile, the major gods of Valdemar and of Jianghu are noted to have many similarities. Alberich and Lan Wangji notice that Vkandis and the Jade Emperor could possibly be the same entity operating under a different names. | |

Gilligan Cut: A few: A scene with Wei Wuxian discussing plans with Wen Ning ends with Wei Wuxian concluding that Nie Huisang is probably making hell for his captors. After all if he's not entertained, he gets bored. The next scene starts with Nie Huisang complaining about his boredom, as part of a scheme to snare an observer. Lan Wangji concludes a planning/advice session with Dirk by describing the Yiling Patriarch as "honorable" and "prudent." Cut to Wei Wuxian being excitedly distracted from a ghost-finding expedition by his first exposure to tree sap. | |

Canon Welding: Regarding the Mo Dao elements, Vathara mainly draws on the novel but concedes being inspired by the donghua's spectacular effects and choregraphy while Nie Huaisang's attendant is an extra from the live-action series. She also merges Valdemar and Mo Dao's respective magic systems by making a cultivator's golden orb a Heartstone rooted inside their own bodies. | |

Culture Clash | |
| A Long Road (Fanfic) / int_70ade2c4 | comment |
Culture Clash From the Valdemaran viewpoint, being Chosen by a Companion to be a Herald is the opportunity to serve the country and become part of a legend so much greater than yourself. On the cultivators' side, they are stealing and brainwashing good people into joining them. Nie Huaisang feels rather weirded out in front of the Valdemaran fashion, since people keep their hair cropped short and wear a lot less of clothes. A lord outright accuses him from encouraging his son to turn into a sissy, because Jianghu robes look like dresses. The cultivators strongly believe into the mandate of heaven, so the Heralds have to explain that no, the Companions aren't there because the monarch is a righteous ruler, they're here to ensure the land will be ruled by a righteous monarch. Valdemar is familiar with pantheons in the Western sense, and cannot envision the kind of low-grade divine spirit — animism the cultivators have grown up with. Villagers are floored by Wen Qing introducing herself as a Healer since she's not wearing the green uniform. The Jianghu allows for concubines but not for divorce, while Valdemar is the inverse. The majority of Valdemar still sees magic as some mysterious, powerful, strange force not to be meddled with. Even those with magic-based Gifts are still largely not understood well or studied beyond "how do we best help people use their Gifts." In Jianghu, cultivator practices are understood well enough to be studied, replicatable, and even use math. While neither trope fits properly, Valdemar's magical practices are closer to Wild Magic while Jianghu's are closer to Sufficiently Analyzed Magic. Valdemar has seen The Dark Arts and has specific expectations of necromancers, Blood-mages, and the like. The Jianghu had little knowledge of blood magic until Wen Roahn built his arrays, and the cultivator world is currently convinced that Wei Wuxian uses The Dark Arts based solely on the results of his power. Although the Heralds have to admit controlling corpses is sketchy, when Lan Wangji shows them his memories of the Yiling Patriarch in battle they also realize that there's several key checkmarks of Necromancy his magic doesn't fit and aren't ready to condemn him just yet. Wen Ning praises Queen Selenay for raising a virtuous, filial heir that won't hesitate to kill traitors when she finds them. Cue awkwardness in the throne room. | |

Absent-Minded Professor | |
| A Long Road (Fanfic) / int_938e9bc0 | comment |
Absent-Minded Professor: Wei Wuxian is pretty much a magical variant who treats cultivating the Ghost Path as a sort of Fantastic Science. He tests new techniques, takes notes, needs to be reminded to use safety measures and preserve his own health, gets excited about new ideas, and goes into tangents while speculating on magical/cultivation phenomena. He CAN hold it together if he has to, and he's definitely more of a people-person than most eccentric experimental-mages, but there's a reason why Wen Ning and the ghost brides follow him everywhere, and it has nothing to do with their own safety. | |

Obfuscating Stupidity | |
| A Long Road (Fanfic) / int_a7aef9ff | comment |
Obfuscating Stupidity: Nie Huaisang is extremely skilled when he needs to play The Dandy Upper-Class Twit to the hilt, and his sect is far too happy to let him. This way, the enemy won't waste their time fleeing. Before meeting one, the cultivators thought the Companions were mundane if specially bred horses given to the Queen's messengers as a badge of office. | |

Love at First Sight | |
| A Long Road (Fanfic) / int_a8dcb1d7 | comment |
Love at First Sight: Lan Zhan is lifebonded to Wei Ying since they were six years old and briefly bumped into each other. Then they formally met at fifteen and Lan Zhan can remember this with perfect clarity. | |

Dramatic Irony | |
| A Long Road (Fanfic) / int_ab5eea65 | comment |
Dramatic Irony: After learning that Valdemar accepts and was founded by refugees, Lan Wangji came up with the idea to save Wei Wuxian by securing sanctuary for the Wen remnants in Valdemar. Meanwhile, Wei Wuxian and the Wen Remnants came up with a plan to bunker down for winter and secure temporary safety for their sick, young, and elderly by pretending to be the exact kind of foreign refugees Lan Wangji wants them to become. | |

Oh, Crap! | |
| A Long Road (Fanfic) / int_ad1db87c | comment |
Oh, Crap!: Nie Huaisang's reaction when a Companion chooses the Second Jade of Lan as a Herald is to bleakly state Lan Xichen is going to murder him. Alberich and Father Gerichen are struck with dread when they finally understand Lan Wangji has been chosen for being a demon-slayer. Wei Wuxian almost suffers a panic attack when Lan Wangji blurts he knows the Yiling Patriarch lost his Golden Core, as he did everything to keep that tightly under wraps. Selenay does not enjoy hearing her new Herald is lifebonded with a man whom the Jianghu is hellbent on slandering and murdering, since the backlash from this death likely would kill Lan Wangji. Nie Huaisang uncovering several less than flattering rumors about the Companions abducting and brainwashing their Heralds makes Talia fret about neighbouring countries launching war against Valdemar. | |

| A Long Road (Fanfic) / int_b4a6ae4c | comment |
Everyone Has Standards: Nie Mingjue loathes the Wen sect with the burning passion of ten thousands suns, but seeing the Wen remnants are nothing but elderly and cripples and a child suddenly made him rather eager to not slaughter them. | |

Jurisdiction Friction | |
| A Long Road (Fanfic) / int_c2676b00 | comment |
Jurisdiction Friction: So, a Companion's Choice of Herald is impossible to be overridden, but Lan Wangji came from another country entirely and can't exactly abandon his duties there. There's two words to describe the situation, and that's diplomatic disaster. | |

The Dark Arts | |
| A Long Road (Fanfic) / int_c4d32b92 | comment |
Valdemar has seen The Dark Arts and has specific expectations of necromancers, Blood-mages, and the like. The Jianghu had little knowledge of blood magic until Wen Roahn built his arrays, and the cultivator world is currently convinced that Wei Wuxian uses The Dark Arts based solely on the results of his power. Although the Heralds have to admit controlling corpses is sketchy, when Lan Wangji shows them his memories of the Yiling Patriarch in battle they also realize that there's several key checkmarks of Necromancy his magic doesn't fit and aren't ready to condemn him just yet. | |

This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman | |
| A Long Road (Fanfic) / int_cce399 | comment |
This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman: Right as Valdemar is teethering on a war with Ancar and their blood-mages, enter Lan Wangji who's fresh off a prolonged conflict with blood-mages. Since divine intervention is a thing, it was explicitly invoked. | |

| A Long Road (Fanfic) / int_e13156e1 | comment |
Mama Bear: Wei Wuxian and Herald Arvil team up on the case of a murdered woman who refused to pass on since she was pregnant when she died. Her baby survived through her using the surrounding magic field and stealing milk, and she only agrees to move on after being reassured her son will get to live. | |

Mundane Utility | |
| A Long Road (Fanfic) / int_eff83d77 | comment |
Mundane Utility: Using weather-witches to ensure good crops and safe travels is briefly discussed. It's also confirmed that talismans are used in regular mundane matters, such as increasing cloth production. | |

Beware the Nice Ones: The Ghost General will go toe-to-toe with a gigantic man-eating snake abomination, and yet cannot stand being at the center of attention without crumbling into a Nervous Wreck. | |
