a dissertation on affection as a logical locus, by Dr. Veritas Ratio, Ph.D. by profligate
Fandoms: 崩坏：星穹铁道 | Honkai: Star Rail (Video Game)
26 Mar 2024

Summary
Here was the risk that Ratio had been anticipating. He made a move to enter, but beyond the doorless opening he heard a sound.
“Dr. Ros.” It was Aventurine. Ratio suppressed a groan. How could he be so stupid? Didn’t he know that this room was what Eosphoros-I was famous for? He prepared to stride inside and drag whoever was there out to a proper meeting room—
—before he stopped short at the sight of himself.
On a distant planet slated for IPC acquisition, there exists a room designed to extract one’s deepest desires.

tres faciunt collegium / three makes a company by lannies

Summary
“Who else are you dragging on board for this project?”
Instead of answering, Aventurine raises his wine to his lips.
Behind the rim, there is a smile—cocky, competitive, certain—
“Someone logical, for your emotions.” Red coats the back of his throat. Red stains the edges of his mouth. Some broken part of his head wants to know if it looks like blood to her.
He thumbs away the stain. “Don’t worry. You’ll cover his weaknesses, too.”
“...And yours?” Topaz watches his finger, sipping her own drink.
Before he frees his flightless inhibitions by emptying his glass, he smiles again—and makes sure it touches the corners of his eyes.
“Scapegoat, remember?”
Hypotheticals: filling in the gaps between Topaz, Aventurine, and Ratio.

What else can he give Veritas?
The greatest joy for the man is sitting in a bath with his codex and Ser Humdrum, reading. Well, not recently. Ser Humdrum had gotten left behind at Veritas’s apartment when the man last packed and so he’d—
“A rubber duck.” Silver Wolf blinks at him.
“A what now?”

Summary
"Mr Screwllum. It is truly a pity that I cannot look presentably at one of our rare meetings," Veritas manages to deliver in lieu of a greeting, his voice remarkably steady.
"Objection: The circumstances of our encounter have not diminished my pleasure upon seeing you," if this is simultaneously the most cordial and sincere-sounding thing Veritas has heard in years, he tries not to let it show.
Amidst the sea of dreadful ignorance and his own hypocrisy, Veritas Ratio finds himself an unexpected ally.

Summary
“This,” says Teng Xiao, attempting to rest a hand on the child's shoulder, who sidesteps the gesture with remarkable ease, “is Yanqing. He walked into the Seat of Divine Foresight an hour ago demanding to talk to the Arbiter-General.”
Jing Yuan waits for him to continue, and they stand in an awkward silence for a moment as he realises that is the end of the statement. “Was he unhappy with your service?” Jing Yuan inclines, holding his hands behind his back and fiddling with his fingers.
Teng Xiao brings up a hand to pinch the bridge of his nose in a bizarre gesture of discomfort, and sighs. “No. For some reason, he believes that you are the current Arbiter-General of the Luofu.”

Summary
Neuvillette's intention was to turn all of the people of Fontaine into true humans.
But even the best of intentions doesn't ensure perfect execution, and even the Iudex isn't above mistakes. And in the element of Hydro, feelings matter more than thoughts.
He didn't want to lose them. And the Authority of Hydro responded accordingly.
(Or: The Neuvillette accidentally turned Furina and Wriothesley into dragons fic.)

Summary
“What’s your name, boy?” The Chief of Justice seemed so sincere while asking the question, as if he was truly interested in his person. As if he cared. He can’t remember the last time someone looked at him like that – like they actually paid attention to his words, like they weren’t waiting for the tiniest mistake on his part so they could punish him.
And so, he gave him his name. A name of his past life, a name that means nothing now, but one that meant something back then.Bookmarked by Pinanolada

Summary
It’s not like he thinks the title is above him, necessarily, just that when he pictures a Duke, the man he sees in his head has a stick up his ass the size of a polearm and a poorly-groomed mustache to match.
So, no, Wriothesley has no draw to the name 'Duke.' It doesn’t bring him joy.
The prospect of what he can do with it, though…
That’s different.
A train of thought, if you will, at a stop on its way from condemnation to grace.

Summary
Wriothesley had gained a new companion. This friend couldn’t talk to him over tea but he was a darn sight cuter than his usual company around Meropide.
The critter twirled around outside chittering happily as it smacked a clam against the glass that separated them. Wrio grinned at it, refraining from cooing at the small otter he’d started visiting every evening on his patrol.
He was about to start coaxing it into doing a trick when something lurking beyond his critter friend caught his eye. He stared out into the dark depths of the sea, and suddenly it was staring back.
Or; Wriothesley unexpectedly has a giant dragon visitor to deal with and he is not okay.

Summary
“Lots of nerdy dudes with intimacy issues keep fish tanks.”
When Neuvillette learns how close Wriothesley came to being killed by the Primordial Sea, he finds his desire to care for the Melusines (diligently and from a safe emotional distance) has expanded to include the Duke of the Fortress of Meropide.
It’s not that odd. Neuvillette can do his best to help this particular human thrive, just like he’s done with the Melusines. It will help him better understand humans in general, which will help him better understand his purpose.
Surely he’s never going to have to think about it any more closely than that.

Summary
Being part of the Cloud Knights for as long as he has, he’s watched comrades tear themselves apart for scraps of reprieve, heard tell of jaded immortals who reveled in their own destruction just to feel something, experimented with several unsavory coping mechanisms himself. But nowadays, Jing Yuan has various outlets outside of work and war: meditation, Mimi, his garden.
What does Yanqing have other than blades?
With the Stellaron Crisis still unfolding and the general out of commission, work has never been so hectic aboard the Luofu. Stress takes its toll upon Yanqing in a way that Jing Yuan never expects.

Summary
The Xianchou Compendium of Research - Volume 3
Paper title - Understanding the Medical Potential of Soulmate Marks - Expunged
Although the earliest documentation of soul marks comes from Vidyadhara folk literature, their presence in the Xianchou has only been documented post the Alliance treaty. The Vidyadhara elegies seem to refer to it as compatibility of souls, and this may have some medical merit on examination. Often those of a soulmate pair suffering from an illness recover much more quickly in the presence of their soulmate when blindly compared with any other family member or friend.
We hypothesize it might be due to the balance of spiritual power that is represented through the physical marks. The passage of spiritual powers in a limited capacity is already a well-established fact. With further testing, we hold hope that it may provide a way to elongate the lives of shorter-life species-
This text has been removed from the general library as it violates tenets of the immortality law.Yingxing and Dan Feng are soulmates.
Jing Yuan knew that before the marks even manifetsed.- Language:

"Cease your tears, Dan Heng. For as long as I am in your care, I won't let this affliction get the best of me."
"You can't promise that," Dan Heng said. He buried his face in Jing Yuan's shoulder, breathing in his scent, committing it to memory. "You don't know that."
"But I do," Jing Yuan said. "Didn't you hear? They call me the Divine Foresight at Xianzhou. So, allow me to give this piece of foresight to you: when I do leave this mortal world, it will not happen on this train, when I am still under your care. That, I can promise you."

“Yanqing,” Ren says seriously. “Do you know what I do when I miss Jing Yuan?”
You miss Jing Yuan? Dan Heng thinks about asking, but he doesn’t, because he also wants to know what Ren does.
Yanqing sniffs. “W-what?”
Ren puts his bandaged hand to his chest in deep contemplation. “I forget about him.”

Yanqing squints at her. "...Are you suggesting I should steal the General's diary…?"
"Well, I'm not not suggesting it," Qingni shrugs. "But if you do it, you didn't hear it from me. Understood?"Keeping secrets from your children is so hard, especially when they are growing up so fast.
