    Summary

    "The lesson you should learn by the end of this tale is, 'what makes us who we are is not something so easily defined as through mere appearances and words and origins.'"

    Kaiki Deishuu, lone ghostbuster, wandering paranormal specialist, finds himself stuck in the middle of an absurd missing persons case as his past catches up to him... or perhaps that's just how I want you to see it.

    (Pt.1 of Kawarimonogatari [Substitute Story]. Pt.2, Shiori Spider, out now!)

    Summary

    “Hanguang-jun,” Wei Wuxian repeats. His heart clenches. He wants—but he’d really meant to have this nightmare stuff down before they met again, so he wouldn’t find himself relying on Lan Wangji’s nearness. He’s not supposed to go back yet. But he’s so tired, and his will crumbles. “Yeah,” he says. “All right. Take me back to Gusu with you.”

    Summary

    Piltover’s Defender of Tomorrow dies on Wednesday evening. By Thursday, the announcement hits the morning gazette, and it won’t leave the news cycle until well past the Sunday edition.

    Zaun’s Machine Herald scoffs the first time he reads it, tossing the stained and torn paper that his apprentice brought down the conveyor behind his shoulder. He is rewiring his left arm again, trying to iron out why his sensors detect a microsecond’s delay between the synapses firing in his brain and the acknowledgement by his mechanical nerves.

    “Natural causes,” he scoffs. “He is what? Sixty years old? Men that rich do not die that young.”

    Summary

    “You realize,” Suguru says, tugging lightly his binding, the seals suppressing his cursed energy, and he can only just barely keep the molten frustration on his tongue from burning the flat silk of his voice, “that this is a kidnapping.”

    “So harsh!” Tsukumo laughs, “Think of it as a dubiously consensual internship! Fully paid, 'promise!”

    //OR: Tsukumo sees the blaring red flags painted all over Getō, and decides to do something about it.

    Summary

    “The Kansai region—which includes Kyoto, Amagasaki, and Osaka—experiences a rainy season known as tsuyu (alternatively: baiyu). It is written with the characters ‘plum’ and ‘rain,’ as it coincides with plums purpling and plumping. Beginning toward the birth of June and lapsing in late July, tsuyu lasts approximately six weeks.”

    Your name is Miya Atsumu. You have learned that life is armed to the teeth, and you have bared your fangs in return.

    “Alcohol poisoning,” Claire replies.

    Summary

    Even so, there is a compartment of his heart where he stashes away the memories he cannot bear to inspect for too long, for fear that his mind, as always, will calculate the very worst outcome. On one shelf: the gray hair he found at his temple a few days ago. In a deeper alcove: the startled look on his grandmother’s face when she had forgotten his name for a moment too long when he last visited her.

    In a hidden room, maybe even a full annex shut away from the rest of his heart: Keiji’s entire sixteenth year, when a boy with incandescent eyes told him that they were the protagonists of the world, and Keiji had believed it.

    Summary

    "It's not fair," she mumbles almost unthinkingly.

    She hears the shift as Chris moves again but Mom holds up a hand this time. "What's not fair, honey?"

    "I can't just be mad. When you get mad, or when you guys get mad," she says, jerking her head toward Chris, "you just…get to be mad. Like that's just a thing that you're allowed to do. But when I get mad, it's like everyone's looking for an excuse to…"

    She swallows. Her hands feel sticky.

    "…put me down or something."

    ***

    Being angry, as it turns out, is something of a human luxury.

    Summary

    “If this occurrence is so fleeting, why does it trouble you so deeply to hurt someone who has already hurt you?”

    “Because,” Aventurine said, anger sharpening the edges of his words, “He’s eleven, alright? He’s eleven years old and he just wants to see his sister again.” Ratio’s expression flickered, a terrible pitiless sorrow turning his mouth. That it was for him made Aventurine burn with shame. “And anyway, he fucked with my head,” Aventurine finished, rather lamely. “I know my enemy and he wasn’t a child.”

    Summary

    In the months afterwards, she will find herself thinking about how she will tell the full story. What metaphors to use, what poignant contrasts and ironies; what parallels, what symbols, what wonderful details to poetically describe a foolish, silly truth:

    That Amos, the sharpest eye in all of Mondstadt, had been perfectly blind.
