Summary
Wangshu Inn is quiet tonight.
Not silent, because it's the only real inn in the whole of Liyue, but quiet.But quiet does not mean undisturbed; it does not mean peace.
And if one looks close enough, the tell-tale signs of battle litter the plains beyond.Yet nobody cares to look, because this is Wangshu Inn, where you get drunk under the protection of the last yaksha.
They don't look, and they don't see the emerald-green spark that seems like it's falling from the heavens.--
The steadfast geo Archon bows his head, and Xiao learns to forgive if not forget.

Summary
Kaeya liked to live on the edge of life. Foregoing safety and tossing caution to the wind, he found it amusing to play in the shadows.
The only issue about meddling with the darkness is that it painted a target on his back, bringing many enemies that wanted to impale him with a weapon of some sort. Preferably between his third and fourth rib on his left side, though the neck works just fine.

Summary
“Again?” Cypher unfurls the usual belt of instruments needed for the procedure. “I’m starting to think you enjoy being around me.”
“Don’t flatter yourself.” Sova says flatly. “I would not be here if I had a choice.”
--
Sova loses his eye, over and over.

Summary
In this world, the first words your soulmate speaks to you are tattooed on your skin from birth.
Wriothesley hears his on the day he stands - a ragged, scrawny teenager, his hands still feeling the sticky warmth of another’s blood - in the middle of a world he’d only ever seen in newspapers. And looking down on him was a divinity... dressed in elegant robes, with hair the color of moonlight on water.
In that moment, Wriothesley swore an oath to himself that he would not utter a single word in reply. After all, what right did he have to taint this divinity with his own filth?

Summary
Wriothesley notices draconic eyes the size of his head looking down at him.
Instantly, his heart is jump-started into a beating frenzy, pounding in overtime even as he does his best to keep as still as possible. Part of him wants to say something—a witty greeting, perhaps?—just to catch the dragon off guard, but the muzzle certainly isn't helping with his attempts.
Then he hears the rumble of ancient grounds, sees the rising of a majestic set of claws, and thinks,
What an honor it is, at least, to die from such a magnificent beast.
Wriothesley is offered to the Dragon of Water as a sacrifice.
Spoiler: he does not actually get sacrificed.

Summary
A soft sound brings Genji's attention back to the recording. “No,” Hanzo whispers, so quietly Athena has to boost the sound, creating small crackles of feedback in the speaker. Genji’s heart thumps loudly in his chest. “No,” Hanzo repeats, a little more strongly, “Father, please.”
Sojiro scoffs, curling his lip. The item he’d been reaching for comes into view of the camera – a bow, not too dissimilar to Stormbow, but stained in the reds and blacks their father was known to be fond of. “You’ve been warned, Hanzo.” Sojiro produces an arrow from a quiver stashed somewhere behind him, nocking it on the bowstring. “This tendency of yours is detrimental to the clan and will not be tolerated.”
Hanzo makes a more concentrated effort of struggling against the guards. “I promise it won’t happen again, Father. Never again. Just please, don’t do this!”
OR: When Overwatch confiscates old files from Shimada Castle, Genji asks Athena to sort through them and show him anything she thinks he should see, which leads Genji to the realization that he's managed to completely miss the fact that his brother's gay... and that their father wasn't who Genji thought he was. So, he decides to take matters into his own hands.
