    Summary

    Back then, with the rest of Sanctuary delighting in Aiolia’s mistreatment, gleeful that even the weakest and low ranking among them could look down upon a Gold Saint, Shaka never even had to try. It was so easy. So frightfully easy. 

    'And yet you feel for me', Shaka thinks. He is getting ready for the day, hands trembling with anger, disbelief, or some other rotten emotion, as he washes his face. 'Idiot.' 

    Water slips through the cracks of his fingers.

    Idiot.

    (In which Shaka thinks Aiolia is avoiding him)

    Summary

    "Well, if it makes you feel better, I think Cyno is just trying to be respectful. He knows how independent you are, so he probably doesn't want you to feel babied." Kaveh shrugged. "Just...maybe start letting him do some little things for you here and there? I think it would really make him happy."

    Tighnari straightened his shoulders with a determined sigh. “I'll try my best.”

    Tighnari struggles to accept help. Cyno loves him anyway.

    Summary

    "These last few weeks are going to fly by before you know it." Kaveh patted Tighnari's belly. "You'll look back on this day with these two sweethearts cuddled in your arms and say, 'huh, Kaveh was right, as he ever is. Maybe I should make better use of my oversized ears and listen to him more often.'"

    "Easy for you to say." Tighnari watched Collei draw a card from her deck, his eyebrows pulling low. "It'll be the blink of an eye for everyone but me. You know, the one who actually has to endure it all."

    Kaveh hummed, a high-low sound. "You're awfully moody, sunshine. Is something else bothering you?"

    Yes, everything, Tighnari wanted to seethe.

    In which waiting is never easy, but the sweetness of family can make it tolerable.

    Summary

    Xiao isn't a person. He hasn't been since he was five years old. He's a weapon of war, a killing machine. So even if he is that boy in the mural, the one with the mother god and the dragon, what does it matter. He'll never be that boy again. It's as accurate a reflection as a gravestone.

    Summary

    He had watched Morax dream before. He watched the weight in his brow soften, the lines of war fade from his mouth. There had been mornings where neither of them spoke for hours—just shared the silence, the kind that made the world feel still.

    Wouldn’t he have remembered that?

    Barbatos closed his eyes.

    Maybe fate was unwinding in different directions.

    (Or—Venti and Zhongli find themselves back during the time of the Archon War and everyone else is confused about their pining asses.)
