    Summary

    “Right, I thought so! And I also thought—well, one likes to be thoughtful about such occasions. Among friends. Close friends, even.” The words tumble forth in an increasingly tangled rush. “So I wondered what sort of… what she might… that is to say, what would make her—”

    “Happy?” Lyney supplies gently.

    Happy. Such a simple concept, yet when applied to Arlecchino, it becomes something precious and elusive—a rare flower that blooms only under the most particular conditions.

    “Yes,” she admits, her voice smaller now. “I want to make her happy.”

    Or

    Arlecchino's birthday approaches. Furina is determined to make it a good one.

    Summary

    She is an older girl, not yet a woman by any reasoned measure, lying in a crisp brown circle of dead and dying grass which crunches beneath his feet. She looks less asleep and more like her captor, dead. But then, it only makes sense for her to be dying, slipping away beneath the ground, folding into it, waiting for it to accept her as part of itself.

    Capitano drops down, sits in the decaying earth with her for a long moment. Takes one of her ink-dark hands in both of his own and holds it- she is tiny, a brave little mouse.

    “Je ne suis pas mort pour le Fontaine,” She says, voice cracking around the syllables, being exhumed from her dying remains. “Je ne suis pas mort pour la Maison, Mère - je ne suis pas mort pour moi-même. Je suis mort pour Clervie.” Again, “Je suis mort pour Clervie.”

    “I don’t-,” Capitano begins, and her eyes roll away from him, her hand goes limp in his grasp.

    “Quickly,” She says, raw, dragged out of her throat by the nail-teeth. “Kill me quickly,”

    “No,” He says, although it might be kinder.

    Summary

    “This is an opportunity, Albedo! A chance for a new, fresh take on life.” Beaming, Alice placed her hands on Klee’s shoulders. “We’ll be a family from now on, so treat her like a real younger sister!”

    Albedo blankly stared at the mother and daughter. He lifted his cloak’s hood and stood. “Is there an inn I can stay the night at?”

    When Albedo first arrives to Mondstadt, all he cares about is carrying out Rhinedottir's final assignment; being a part of a family is the farthest thing from his mind. But no matter how stubborn he is, Alice is determined to show him the love she and Mondstadt has to offer.

    An Albedo prequel fic!

    Bury my heart to where the world cannot see me, but you—to where flowers are planted in Arlecchino’s lungs when she finds she can fall in love again.

    And Furina, as dazzling as the sun’s gleaming reflection on the sea, is the receiver of the Harbinger's affections.

    Summary

    "Lately, his attempts have become less frequent, but his accuracy has improved significantly. Good effort, but patience is key — the time for the perfect strike has yet to come." Is it really just patience?

    _

    Though he isn't the type to reminisce, stumbling upon a letter he wrote years back enabled him. There he, once again, acknowledged the new life given to him by the person he wanted to kill the most—the woman who he grew fond of. The same woman he once vowed to claim in death is now the one he yearns to claim a life with instead.

    -

    Just Moze reminiscing some of his many early attempts to assassinate his general, each one a fail, but some hold a memorable experience- either the improvement of his skill or his viewing of the said general.

    Summary

    The young boy carefully studied him, gaze somehow both playful yet intense enough to pierce through his armor. “Your arms are like Father”, the magician remarked with a gleeful tone that caught the Captain off guard. Whatever leftover caution the child still had had instantly faded, a sense of familiarity overcoming him as his body language relaxed involuntarily.

    It was…strange.

    Capitano resisted the urge to pull down the sleeves of his shirt to cover the exposed skin above his gloves, the sudden awareness that even such a small bit of his body being visible stood out like crimson blood against snow was hitting him like a dagger. He chose to ignore the boy's comment. “What’s your name, little Snezhevich?”

    Summary

    Arlecchino's curse is a complete mystery to the living. Its history died with its predecessors. As she's gotten older, she's held the curse at bay, understanding as much as she can about how it works.

    She never anticipated waking up as a beast one day.

    Meanwhile, Furina still struggles to walk alone at night despite her progress in healing all the hurt she faced in 500 years.

    An opportunity is presented to Arlecchino on a silver platter. One can hardly blame someone for taking such an eager gift.

    Summary

    “Has the General been here?”

    Sushang frowns, looking up at Yanqing from her position beside the bedrest. “He won’t be here just because I'm hurt.”

    “No, he will,” Yanqing insists. “He cares about the Cloud Knights. He is always there whenever I'm hurt.”

    Sushang lets out a sigh before her mouth forms a smile—one that Yanqing realizes is a mocking smile. “Do you know how many other Cloud Knights get hurt every day? Thousands.” Sushang says, staring at Yanqing with a deadpan expression. “He doesn’t care about any Cloud Knight, he just cares about you.”

    “Because I am a Cloud Knight—”

    “No, because you are his son.”

    Yanqing flushes. Then, just as pink started to spread across his cheeks, his frown deepened. “I-I’m not!”

    Summary

    Furina de Fontaine is no stranger to adoration and gifts. After all, she was once the most beloved and famous star of Fontaine. But it has been months since she was dethroned before her people and sequestered herself from the limelight, seeking a much quainter and humbler life.
    Anonymous presents suddenly appearing now in her daily life are quite suspicious.

    This particular admirer seems to know Furina far too well, yet against her better judgment (and Clorinde’s), Furina is determined to uncover the truth of the anonymous benefactor.

    Summary

    Barbatos scrunched his nose, still frowning.

    Sighing, Morax leaned forward, his breath hot on the anemo archon’s neck. “There will be a yaksha general here at all times as well as either I, Guizhong, or one of the adepti. The only thing that can harm the child are nightmares, so we will do what we can to bring them sweet dreams.”

    Barbatos was quiet for a long time after that, letting Morax straighten pins and remove broken quills. A few of the nicer ones he set aside to be turned into writing instruments. It was when he was brushing off stray down and flakes of skin did the other speak, just as quiet as before.

    “Okay.”
    ___

    The middle of the Archon War, which monsters and scheming backstabbing gods in every corner of the continent, was not the best time and place to let a child enter the world. Barbatos and Morax find this out the hard way.

    AKA Barbatos and Morax are Xiao's biological parents and canon events still happen.

    Summary

    Furina needed a break.

    That much was well apparent to her friends so they dragged her out on a beach vacation. Some time away to disconnect from the stressful world would surely help her relax. That and an old book that she stumbled upon in Neuvillette's library.

    Things start to get a bit weird when places and people from the story start to creep into the real world. Furina just needs to make it to the end of the book, and ultimately the vacation, before the ocean's call drags her under.

    Arlecchino looked at her in a way that started to worry Furina. Was she appraising her? After that little outburst she really shouldn't be surprised. She has a business to run and Furina suddenly shouting doesn't fit the atmosphere.

    “You should be careful with strange songs coming from the ocean, Miss. Furina.” Arlecchino seemed to center herself and turn back to the drink she was making for her. “I've heard of tales of people getting drawn out to sea never to be seen again.”

    Summary

    Arlecchino wakes up in a world where she isn't a Harbinger, where she didn't lose Clervie, where everything seems to have gone right. Despite how sweet and idyllic everything seems, Arlecchino knows that this isn't reality, that she has to get back to her world, her problems and her children, but with each peaceful day, she finds her resolve to return home slipping away.

    "“I-I can walk on my own…”
    “But I want to carry you.”
    There is a raw edge to that admission, a broken, honest, desperate emotion that she didn’t intend to express. Even though this is but a dream, she still wants to replace the memory of the last time she held Clervie in her arms, her body limp and lifeless as she carried her out of the dueling ring. It is foolish, illogical, overly emotional, but when it comes to Clervie, Arlecchino knows that she cannot resist."

    Summary

    “General, there's… been an incident.”

    “Lady Fu,” he says curtly, “if something has happened to Yanqing, I'd appreciate it if you simply got to the point. Is he hurt? Where is he?”

    Fu Xuan grimaces. “Well, he's not… hurt, per se.”

    Turning to the Cloud Knights at her back, she makes a gesture, and one steps forth with a small, blue bundle held in their arms. He is not quite sure as to what it is supposed to be at first, his eyebrows knitting together as he stares the Cloud Knight down. Then, they shift their hold, turning the bundle out to him, and...

    The face of a child—no, a baby peers out from between the folds of the thick, blue blanket.

    Jing Yuan blinks slowly.

    Yanqing's honey gold eyes blink back.

    Or; Yanqing gets de-aged. Everyone is horrified… except for Jing Yuan.
