    Summary

    The delicate sound of falling tears is like an external heartbeat—a gift from a cruel universe linking you and another. A soft twinkling akin to the sound of a music box as they fall down his cheeks and

    break upon contact with his shirt, forming an unfinished melody that can only be completed by his other half, and Alhaitham watches, a little starstruck, a little confused, as a boy he’s only ever met in passing bares his soul to the entire cafeteria.

    //or, a spin on the star tears disease where instead of starry tears being a sign of unrequited love, they carry half a melody that links you to your soulmate who can complete the other half, and Alhaitham learns that the stars in his tears could be a sign that being vulnerable isn’t actually a bad thing.

    Summary

    “You and I are icons, my dear Iudex.” Furina removed her hand from the map and used it to flick Neuvillette’s cravat. “Have you not noticed how everyone wears one of these ever since you started wearing them?”

    His gaze flickered to the side, pensively. Whatever his mind was trying to find he was clearly drawing a blank on. Furina bit back a laugh, of course he didn’t pay attention to what people wore. Ultimately, he shook his head. “Is that so?”

    Summary

    “Coming!” Al-Haitham calls, navigating the maze of packing peanuts and crates. He undoes the latch on the door and lets it swing open, fully expecting to see the bearded face of his landlord only to be met with the vermillion-eyed face of somebody he had given up hope on seeing for the rest of his life.

    There’s a long moment of silence. The aching swell of Vivaldi in the background and the rushing in his ears like the ocean waves.

    “...Kaveh?”

    Kaveh, globally-renowned musician, disappears off the face of Teyvat. Five years later, he shows up outside of Al-Haitham's door with no explanation but to ask for a bed to sleep in.

    It's fine. They only have thirteen years of history, after all.

    Summary

    With Foçalors’ body gone, with her divinity returned to where it originally belonged, her feelings and memories escaped to the only place that they could go.

    Her human self.

    The only thing Foçalors had ever wanted to be, empty and lost and oh so receptive to receive and be filled with hundreds and hundreds more years of misery and happiness and longing and love.

    Summary

    Furina de Fontaine holds the sword up to match her surprised opponent’s stance; judging by the bewildered expressions all around, this is not an outcome they anticipated.

    Good, she is nothing if not amazing at destroying other people’s script and rewriting her own lines.

    Her champion’s serious expression falters for a moment into one of worry; a less observant person would have missed it. The two outlanders behind her each gasp with surprise, and even her oh so dear Iudex is speechless at her choice of action.

    “I accept your challenge; it shall be the most grandiose duel of all times!”

    _

    Summary

    The wanderer had been doubtful of the man at first, when Buer issued him his mission. Oh, Hat Guy, go babysit a bunch of mortals and keep an eye out for the Kshahrewar representative, would you?

    The last time he interacted with anyone from that school was the Doctor. So pardon the wanderer for not having a favourable opinion of its alumni.

    The wanderer and the architect find themselves through each other.

    Summary

    The woman with the mismatched eyes on stage was not the same woman who sang under the stars nights before. This was not the woman who had been plaguing his every waking moment.

    Neuvillette didn’t understand but as he watched a flash of pain in those eyes as she bowed, he found that he desperately wanted to.

    A story where Neuvillette decides to visit Fontaine after receiving the letter and falls in love at first sight.

    Summary

    "She's...she's gone?" Furina says, soft and uncertain in a way she's still not sure she's allowed. There's the familiar panic, of course - the surety that she messed up, that the act was slipping; the urge to claw out her composure until it tore her face into a smile. The old fatigue, too, but that had always been the easiest to push down. "Mir– Focalors. The, um, Hydro Archon. She's gone?"

    "...yes," Neuvillette says, with a complex expression. "She was condemned to death by the Oratrice, and bore it's judgment to fulfill the prophecy. Her role in Fontaine has at last concluded, Lady Furina." He looks at her again, gaze softening further. "...as has yours."


    Furina talks to Neuvillette after her trial, after the flood, and after her role is finally over.

    (An extra scene at the end of the 4.2 Archon Quest, before the Traveler meets Neuvillette at the entrance to the Fortress of Meropide)

    Summary

    Fontaine will no longer face a day of doom, of eternal darkness. The sun still shines, and she will continue to shine, even long after she passes.

    The rain pours, but that is alright, too—such is simply the workings of the weather, is it not?

     

    (Was it? A happy ending, that is.)

    Summary

    People keep coming up to Kaveh to congratulate him. Kaveh doesn’t really know why, and he’s a little too scared to ask at this point, so he heads back home, content if not a little bemused.

    He is, unfortunately, reminded of it the very next day, when the door slams open and Al-Haitham stalks in. “Mind telling me why everyone was congratulating me today?” he demands. “About your pregnancy?"

     

    Or: Al-Haitham is, without a doubt, the most annoying person Kaveh knows. Maybe the world’s second-most annoying person can help Kaveh figure him out.

    Hey, I heard you were looking for a place to stay. My roommate also moved out recently so I have a room open.

     

    “You’re shitting me,” said Kaveh.

    “What?” Cyno tilted his head.

    Kaveh held out his phone. Cyno and Tighnari leaned over until the sides of their heads were touching as they read the message.

    Tighnari jerked away. “Al-Haitham sent you that?”

    “I didn’t know he had it in him,” said Cyno.

    “Had what?”

    “A charitable soul.”

    Kaveh needs a place to stay senior year of college and Al-Haitham has an open spot.
