Summary
Jean set down her pen. “Sorry, Klee brought how many explosives?”
Venti shrugged. “This land has survived an awful lot of flattening. It can survive a bit more.” He, nearly alone, still remembered the mountains. “Ah—but in the spirit of helpfulness, I should add that she’s testing a rather potent mix, if you know what I mean. It might be less ‘flattening’ and more ‘cratering.’ The lake can always stand to be deeper, but, well—“
He didn’t have to finish. Jean had taken off halfway through, far more focused on containing Klee than on deferring to Venti, which was wonderful improvement.
A compilation of tiny, between-the-scenes Genshin oneshots.

Summary
The Qixing are formally on loan to Inazuma to “bolster the economy.” In the decidedly less formal words of Yae Miko, the Qixing should “just fix the shipwreck that is our government before Ei and I get back from vacation.”
This includes, but is not limited to: Shenhe’s inadvisable childcare services, Ayaka’s takeover of the Yashiro Commission, and Chongyun’s life-changing field trip to Seirai Island. Amid it all is Lumine, hopping from place to place as she witnesses the sheer chaotic glory of two nations’ governments simultaneously losing their minds.
Told entirely through voice lines.

The ballads of this world are many. For your protection, this one shall never see the light of day.

Bookmarker's Notes
You were of the air, certainly, but it was not your domain in the way of gods or lords until much later. No, you were barely even a thing of your own in those days, a single whisper in the chorus or a firefly in the night.
They didn’t pray to you at first, not the way one beseeches a god, but they would ask a friendly wind sprite for luck. They would smile when you danced around a bard who sang of freedom, and when you tried to bring them flowers. You were… a mascot, a charm, a promise of fortune and a hopeful future. They began to talk to you, eventually, began to believe there was a you, a proper you, that a person lived in this scrap of wind, and with their belief they made it true.

Freminet pauses to look around. He's heard that the Melusines have their own village, but he wouldn't have imagined it would be so... cute. The sort of place that Pers might protect or visit.

Summary
On the eighth day after his awakening, she visits him in person, finding him curled up on the divan like a pill bug. His hair spills over his face and shadows his eyes, but she can tell from the way his bare feet brace against the mattress beneath him that he’s awake. It makes the ball joints in his ankles, already visible through skin torn and pared down to the metaphorical bone, all the more prominent.
He doesn’t need to eat; Nahida brings him food anyway. He doesn’t move as she draws near, though she’s certain he hears her. In the dimness of the cell, the violet streaks in his hair seem almost to glow. Below them, the mitsudomoe symbol stamped into the back of his neck stands stark against his flesh—an indelible reminder of his artificiality.
———
In the aftermath of Shouki no Kami’s fall, Nahida chooses to pick up the pieces.

“You…” He lifts himself up off the divan on shaking arms, grinding his teeth with the effort. “How dare you talk about my pain when you’re the one who ripped my heart out?”
Nahida lowers her head, but her voice is firm. “That wasn’t your heart.”
“Shut up!”
His voice cracks. There’s fury in his eyes but also fear. He can’t stand the truth, she realizes, and clings to the fantasy he constructed in his own head.
“Shut up.” His breath is ragged. He only needs to breathe to speak, and now he sucks in air like it’s the punctuation marks to his staggered words.

Bookmarker's Notes
She took Claudia up to the attic and showed her the grids and concentric circles, and the large nets at one window. She pointed out the different ways that the spells converted the unpleasantness, inverting the magic by copying its signatures and laying them backwards on the magic to convince it to be neutral again. She noted, too, the redundancies she'd built in to catch especially determined strains of it, and had Claudia watch as one piece snaked off from the main defenses and got stuck in those redundancies. She smiled at Claudia's gasp.
Then Claudia turned to her with shining eyes, her mind clearly alight with questions and curiosity. Querida grumbled inside at the way that look touched the one soft edge of her heart. Please, please let me learn and explore! it seemed to say. Please, I have so much I want to know! Variations of that look were what had gotten Querida through so many years as a teacher, before Mr. Chesney had come and it was only survival for so long.

“If they catch you, you’ll get in trouble.”
Something about that just makes the boy smile more. “Haha. If they catch me. Most people don’t look up, you know.”
“I did,” Jean points out.
The boy blinks. “Well.” He opens his mouth then closes it again, and this time when he looks at her, there is something considering in it. His one eye is bright with curiosity and something else Jean doesn’t know the name to, some strange mix of delight and calculation. “…So you did.” A pause. “Well, anyway. It’s a pleasure to meet you. My name is Kaeya.”
