Fics like 缘起缘未了 | when I see you again

In the usual telling, the story goes like this: A young boy does a favour for a white snake spirit. Sometimes he's a cowherd, sometimes a child buying sweets, sometimes he's even a snake hunter. Either way, the white snake resolves to repay him. She gains powers and human form. She saves a green snake spirit from death and gains her allegiance. She finds the kind boy. Or maybe she finds his soul, in a new body. Thanks to the machinations of a monk, the boy finds out what she is and they are separated - in some tellings for a very long time - but finally reunited. The green snake betrays the white snake. Or she saves her. Sometimes she saves them all, out of her love for the white snake. That, at least, is almost always true.
