mdzs au where they are gods who can be killed but are reincarnated as children just as long as they have believers.
what i mean: lwj rushing to the burial mounds in a flurry of panic and stumbles upon a child blinking his eyes open to a bloodied world.
"wei ying," he whispers.

(this is totally a noragami au if anyone can tell)
lwj's fingers tremble as he reaches forward, touch ghosting the child's cheek. the child flinches away.
"gege," he says, warily. "who are you?"
lwj, as always, is too late. "hello, wei ying," he greets, heart heavy with grief.

"i am lan zhan," lwj says, softly. "i am your zhiji, your best friend."
he pauses, lips curving into a small sad smile. "I've come to take you home. does wei ying want to come with me?"
"lan-gege," wei ying tries, tentatively.
unbidden, lwj corrects him, "lan-er gege."

it makes his eyes sting harshly, the lump in his throat growing heavy. "wei ying calls me lan er-gege."
wei ying nods, accepting. "er-gege will take wei ying home?"
the tears finally fall. wei ying's tiny fingers catch them by his cheek. they are warm.
"yes, let's go home."

here's a rewind:
a hundred years prior, a new generation of gods had been born, from the wishes of changing times. lan wangji, known as hanguang-jun to the people, is a god of fortune and justice. wei wuxian, yiling laozu, is known to be a god of poverty.
a hundred years prior, a new generation of gods had been born, from the wishes of changing times. lan wangji, known as hanguang-jun to the people, is a god of fortune and justice. wei wuxian, yiling laozu, is known to be a god of poverty.
the yiling laozu was born out of prayers to end the destitution suffered by the people of yiling. legends stated that a god had grown angry and killed his lover here, turning the soil bitter and dark. though this never actually happened, the people pray for the murdered immortal
for him to let go of his resentment and his hatred and to be at peace.
"yiling laozu, we offer prayers for your peace of mind, heart, and soul."
and this is why wei wuxian was born, the most carefree and kind god of poverty to traverse the heavens!
