    The thing is this: Blitzø's never been good at this feelings bullshit, but he's never really cared to try until now, anyway. Maybe that's what makes all the difference.

    Summary

    In which Venti, Zhongli, and Nahida signed a joke contract centuries ago that might be less of a joke now…

    In which Nahida was forcibly imprisoned, didn’t know she was halting the dreams of the Sumeru people, and broke out to find Venti—in the hope that their contract is still valid.

    In which no one but Diluc and Jean knew about the whole Archon thing, and Kaeya may have a problem with this. Rosaria too, but she's quieter about it.

    Summary

    The wind shifted--instead of blowing from the battlefield, bringing with it the smells of a charnel house, it blew from Barbatos’ direction. Morax smelled it then, the acrid, sharp odour of an alpha entering their rut. It slapped him in the face, in that part of his being that was an omega.

    And he understood belatedly why the others had sent him: he was the only omega archon.

    He might have thought they’d sent him as a sacrificial gift for their wayward brethren, but he was smart enough to sense it wasn’t quite the case. They knew he could kill Barbatos if he tried hard enough. It wouldn’t be easy, but he could do it even if they weren’t on his turf. No, he supposed the reason why they’d sent him was the oldest, simplest in the world: only an omega could tame a rogue alpha entering their rut. Only an omega could soothe an alpha, could make them see sense.

    -

    Taming Barbatos is not as easy as Morax had expected.

    Summary

    Venti-centric stories, in what-ifs and alternate takes of our favourite bard in green throughout all the worlds he may have lived on, by yours truly.

    Also, these are ordered based on date of creation, except for the first four on the list.

    P.S Some of these are being updated to incorporate headcanon as laid out in this collection of Akademiya-esque manuscripts; please give it a read for better context.

    Summary

    If Barbatos has a list of red flags, this traveler is ticking off at least half the list. 

    Literally the only thing stopping him from getting rid of her here and now is:

    1. He feels no malice or harmful intentions from her 
    2. The potent energy within her that appears to be shackled by some withering seal is downright terrifying, despite being forced to remain dormant could still feel stronger than all 7 gnosis combined.
    3. The fact celestia themselves sent over an observer rather than an executioner means something must be up with her.

    It's easy to come to the conclusion that, if she were to pose a threat to Monstadt, Barbatos might actually need to pull some favors from his fellow archons.

    Summary

    “It’s the first time I can see them,” Kaeya says in a quiet, almost sheepish voice.

    “See what?” Venti answers. “There’s not much to see in this darkness.”

    The boy shakes his head. “That’s the point.” He raises his gaze up to the sky and tension drains from his shoulders. “The stars, they’re so beautiful.”

    An Archon meets a spy.

    Or: Kaeya and Venti over the years and how two rightful enemies kindle a friendship over shared secrets.

    Summary

    Kaeya tried to think back.

    Hadn't Mondstadt... been a snowy hellscape once? Back around the time of the... Archon... War...

    He stopped dead in his tracks.

    There's... no way, right?

    This kind of thing didn't actually happen... right?

    Fuck.
    ---
    Or, Kaeya finds himself in old Mondstadt on the day that Venti becomes Barbatos, and has to rely on his help to try and get home. But Venti just lost his friends... will he be willing to let a new one go?

    Summary

    The final contract of Liyue. That’s what Rex Lapis had called it.

    An agreement to test his people, to see how they would be able to stand on their own and to allow them to move on from the age of gods and monsters into the dawning age of man. Rex Lapis knew they would be challenged in ways they had never been before, but despite appearances, he would be there to catch them if they fell.

    However, there were things he hadn’t accounted for despite all his careful planning. He had known that the Tsaritsa’s Fatui were sent to cause chaos - that Childe was a Harbinger and therefore would be at the epicentre - but he hadn’t expected this.

    As his ancient foe rose from the depths of the Guyun Stone Forest, the Archon weighed the final contract of Liyue against the first and made his decision.

    Summary

    Venti remembers the man in the alleyway, lit almost ablaze in the lamplight. The gold in his eyes. The meteor orbiting his shoulders. His hands had been as steady as the earth, and when he held Venti, he had called him—

    —a name he hadn’t heard in a long, long time.

    After hearing news of Morax’s death, Venti travels to Liyue to honor a tradition that the Original Seven had long held: each time one of them passed on, those that remained would gather to drink a toast and say their final goodbyes.

    He figures Morax deserves this, at the least, even if it’s a party of one. He didn’t think it would be so hard to do it alone.

    Drunk, lonely, and despairing, Venti takes to wandering the streets of Liyue and stumbles upon a well-dressed stranger by the name of Zhongli, who reminds him far too much of what he’s just lost.
