    Summary

    "The timing is auspicious as well- a great victory took place at this time, changing the seats of the Luofu. General Jing Yuan, surely you remember when you slew the mara-struck Sword Champion? Is there any better way to celebrate than to put another official to the test?"

    "So, in summary, forgive me for being so crass, but let's make it simple- Yanqing, your position is up for grabs in the next martial competition!"

    After Yanqing's consecutive failures to serve the Xianzhou, it's made clear that his place by the General isn't guaranteed at all— he has to fight for his right to stay Lieutenant and to remain by Jing Yuan's side. The cost of failure? Being kicked out from Jing Yuan's home and being demoted to Private: destroying every sacrifice he's made for this role.

    To make it worse, there's more behind the competition than meets the eye, and it has to do with the fact that Jing Yuan is given the unfortunate ability to read Yanqing's mind.

    OR: Jing Yuan and Yanqing know exactly where they stand with each other, but hope blurs the line.

    Summary

    “I miss my friends too.”

    Yanqing dispels the illusion with a lazy wave of his hand. “Do you remember them?”

    Jing Yuan can’t stop his cheeks from pulling a wry smile. “Too well.”

    “That must be nice.” Yanqing leans over the bridge rail, but he never seems to fall. Even the one time he almost fell, Yanqing just flipped over and floated back to the edge before he could tumble into the crowds. “I wish I were more like you. I don’t remember anybody.”

    “Haha.” Scalegorge is desolate today. It’s always desolate, but Jing Yuan can still see the waves kiss the shore from here, as they’ve always done, year after year. “You don’t want to be anything like me.”

    Before Yanqing and Jing Yuan are family, they’re a general and a ghost on a bridge, unable to join the crowds below. Yanqing is a lonely kid with too much to say and no friends to endure him, and Jing Yuan is far too jaded and much too old for this.

    …It becomes harder to make that excuse the longer they spend time together.

    OR: comets are set alight when they brush by the sun, and there is nobody brighter in the universe than Jing Yuan.

    Summary

    {When stars die, the sky falls, the earth turns inside out; light swallows the darkness and Gold thought this might as well just be a practical joke, made by Celestia, to humiliate her.}

    "The universe is the dark essence of the true starry sky, and the earth is the accumulated memories of time and lives. The earth is where alchemy gets its name, and is the basis of all life. And this... This is new birth."

     

    Aka: what if the Alchemist Gold too was cursed with immortality?

    ●●●

    The first few chapters take place during the cataclysm and from there we are going to work our way towards the present time within the game.

    Summary

    Life, death and new birth

    Life emerges from the soil in immaculate burst of light and color, a breathtaking display of the purest of essence cultivated only by those that dare to hold it's powers with an open palm.

    Death comes for all those who have expended that force, trickling and returning back to the soil they once were formed of.

    Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust.

    To then be reborn anew.
    New birth. A circle repeat.

    And as the red moon hides itself amongst a tapestry of sky and true stars, eternal night beneath the soils of a land ruled by the scorching sun, life goes on, waiting for a died history to be born anew.

    Aka. Rhinedottir teaches Albedo about Khemia then shenanigans happen.

    ●●●●●●●●●●●

    This is a sequel.
    The first part to this is the fic Obscuratus Dynastia, I'd seriously recommend going for that one first.

    Summary

    alternate universe fic!! i will say that first and foremost. this is not canon.

    a mystery boy wanders the streets of mondstadt. he looks suspiciously like venti, the local bard... could they have a connection?

    in which venti’s friend from the days of old is revived and ends up meeting a drunkard who looks an awful lot like him in a city full of statues that resemble him.

    {for the sake of this fic, i have given the boy a name since he isn’t given one in canon! his name is amadeus, which means “god’s lover”.}

    just like the real game, there’s a million side stories ft your favorite characters to supplement the original plot LMAO
