    Summary

    spoilers for hsr 3.3

    When it comes to predatory, soul-sucking gacha games, Cosmic Impact Rail Zero was probably the worst of the worst. Did it have incredible characters? Yes. An engaging storyline? Double yes. Did it make Mydei want to blow his entire paycheck on weapons and skins and more rolls? Of course it did.

    But it also killed off basically every character in the game, including the crown prince that shared Mydei's name– Mydeimos the Undying, Son of Gorgo. How the hell was that even possible?! He literally had undying in his title!?

    So when the developers ask for feedback, Mydei goes off on a heated tangent– and finds himself reincarnated as his namesake. You know– the doomed prince, destined for a life of hardship? Destined to die?

    Not if Mydei has anything to say about it.

    Summary

    Aventurine makes it out of the abyss - and into a different world. Things are different here - simpler. There are no Aeons, no intergalactic factions and corporations, no Paths and Blessings. He is not naïve enough to assume that there is no cruelty and discrimination here - for there always is - but for the most part, everything is peaceful.

    Here, Aventurine's priorities are getting people's coffee orders right. Fairly straight forward, if you ask him.

    Except for the bit where he is surrounded by too many familiar faces, and they remind him of a place he can no longer return to. That's okay. People come and go, and so will they.

     

    Except for the bit where they come and go and come back.

     

    AKA. Aventurine gets dropped into a coffee-shop AU with all the memories from before. He's handling things until he's not handling things. That's okay, because he still has friends (and Dr Ratio) in this world. He just doesn't know it yet.

    Summary

    Childe’s exit from the Primordial Sea after being hurled through the dimensional rift brings him on a small detour, and he comes face to face with someone who looks…a lot like Master Skirk.
    (In which Jingliu and Skirk look SO ALIKE that I impulsively wrote a fic on that single premise.)

    Aka Childe interacts with the Astral Express, the Xianzhou Luofu cast, and check-ins on Teyvat. He participates in a few companion quests ranging from Kafka’s to Jingliu’s. Watch him comprehend the power scaling in the Star Rail verse, getting himself into trouble, figure out how to return to Teyvat, and other shenanigans (if you ever wondered what would happen if Blade met Childe, this is the fic for you). Oh and he impulsively ate the Lightless eye of the Maelstrom? (Wait- Didn't that mean he just ate the Narwhal?)

    Cameos: Aventurine, Ratio, Herta, Fu Xuan, Qingque, Acheron, Kiana Kaslana (HK3, yes you saw right)

    Having returned to Teyvat, Childe struggles to come to terms with the implications of what it means to have caught a glimpse of the worlds that laid beyond the false sky.

    Summary

    They stare at each other, the moment stretching out infinitely, timeless.

    Jing Yuan's fingers continue to gently card through Dan Heng's hair, his mouth curved in the slightest of smiles. This close, Dan Heng can feel the living heat radiating off him, sleep warm and enticing.

    "You're back," Jing Yuan says, and Dan Heng would close his eyes to savour the sound of Jing Yuan's voice if he could bring himself to break eye contact. Instead, he draws in a deep breath, his heart filling with such a vast yearning that it hurts, all of a sudden.

    He hadn't realized how much he missed Jing Yuan until this moment, when Jing Yuan is finally within arm's reach once more.

     

    (Dan Heng and Jing Yuan are together now, both through their bond and by explicit agreement, but a new relationship is difficult enough to navigate without the vast expanse of space separating them. Despite the challenges, the distance between them may just end up unveiling unexpected revelations.

    Sequel to a drop of rain heralds the cleansing storm).
