    Summary

    Diona’s heel thumps against one leg of the bench, and she glances to meet his gaze. “…Where’s all this coming from?”

    Venti blinks, and laughs, head dropping forward. “I… I’m not even sure. I guess there’s just something about being in this church that makes me want to… confess.”

    Her pink brows furrow. “Confess to what?”

    He sighs, soft and slow. “…I don’t even know.”

    She leans back on the bench, propping her palms on the edge behind her and letting her head fall back. She stares beyond the tall organ pipes, up at the ornate ceiling of the grandiose cathedral. “…Venti?”

    “Yeah?”

    “Do you think this is how he wanted things to be?”

    His breath grows shallow. “…Who?”

    “Barbatos.”

    “I… can’t say I know much about what he wanted.” He stares at his hands.

    ———————

    One fateful night, Venti and Diona find themselves alone together in the Favonius Cathedral. An unlikely bond begins to form. Meanwhile, Rosaria spends the evening reconsidering her stance on the enigmatic bard’s claimed identity.

    Summary

    "Does Liyue's yaksha feel inclined to listen to more of my poetry?"

    Xiao looked up from his resting position, eyes narrowed and weary, the blanket falling from his shoulders. "I am not so desperate that I would listen to you slander Rex Lapis's literary art."

    "Literary art is a stretch. What I mean is do you want a private performance to ease your mind?"

    ----------------------------------------

    Xiao has a hard time with his karma, while Venti is more than happy to help in a way that only he can.

    Summary

    “You’re my husband now, and you vowed to care for me. You married a Mondstadter, so now you need to fight for my nation like it’s your own. And in exchange, I will fulfill my vows, too. I’ll be your husband, I’ll devote myself to it.”

    Morax is silent for a long moment, processing his words. “This is indeed unexpected.”

     

    Or: They say Morax is a ruthless emperor ever since his army conquered Mondstadt. That's why Decarabian believes that marrying off one of the last remaining rebels to him is a fitting punishment. Yet Venti finds his new husband to be an unexpectedly reasonable man, who might just be willing to give him a taste of freedom.
