    Summary

    How Dahlia became The Herald of Barbatos.
    ____________________________________
    "You look like a man who needs one of two things to cheer up:" Venti lifted one finger up, "a miracle from Barbatos himself…” He lifted another finger, "…or someone to drag him out of his misery with questionable decisions. Lucky for you, I specialize in both." He winked, "Now, my Deacon, which one do you want first?”

    OR
     
    Shortly after the Traveler left Mondstadt and the city regained its peace, Dahlia was announced as a candidate, a soon-to-be-ordained Deacon of the Church of Favonius. Which was great, awesome, perfect, had it not been for a teeny, tiny detail: his faith, or rather the lack of it.

    And then the wind gets a whiff of his secret.

    Summary

    After a tip-off from her grandfather that one of her close high school friends had started a local radio show, Nene tried to see if she could tune in—purely out of curiosity, of course. It had been three years since she’d been back in town, it'd be nice to hear how her old friend was doing!

    But as the night wore on, Nene found herself calling into the station, half-flirting with the charming host live on air. Swept up in Tsukasa’s familiar chaotic energy, she found herself falling right back into her old teenage fluster.

    Turns out, she’d missed this energizer-bunny of a man more than she realized.

    With each passing day, the truth that Himmel isn't meant to stay settles deeper in his bones.

    It includes this city, this home—maybe even Venti.

    Summary

    “I’m afraid too,” the bard adds, bashfully, slowing down as they steadily reach their destination. “This.” He rubs his chest, over his heart. “I don’t always understand this.”

    “No?”

    “No. It’s overwhelming. I’m confused. I don’t know what to make of it.”

    A small frown pulls down Venti’s lips. Before he could comment, however, the bard beat him to it: “But I love it. So, so much.”

    For the hundredth time today, Mondstadt's new god holds his friend's hand and reflects.

    Summary

    “Where is The Holy Lyre, bard?” Decarabian spat, eyes darkening with thinly veined rage.

    “It’s right—” Dorian turned to the pedestal where The Holy Lyre had been, words dying on his lips in realization. “There….”

    The Cardinal’s eyes narrowed as murmurs erupted through the crowd behind him. “I will not buy such half-baked lies, little thief. So out with the truth!”

    “I-I have no idea!” he pleaded, stumbling to his feet as the clergy closed in around him.


    Lord Barbatos' imminent reincarnation has everyone wondering who it will be. For an orphan-turned-bard, his life is about to get a lot more complicated.

    Summary

    It was supposed to be movie night.

    One couch. Two dangerously charming boys. Three rounds of escalating flirtation, emotional sabotage, and absolutely no concept of personal space.

    Nene Yashiro didn’t mean to start a full-blown flirt war between the Yugi twins, but now they’re three rounds in, and no one’s backing down.

    And if anyone’s walking away unscathed…it’s definitely not going to be her.

    Summary

    After the final bell, Nene lingers behind to try out a new lipstick she impulsively picked up, quietly fussing over the perfect shade in an empty classroom. Tsukasa happens to appear behind her and offers to “help”, thinking he’s just teasing.

    But he quickly realizes he’s wildly unprepared for the way she turns the game around.

    (Or: practice kisses, pink gloss, and a ghost who’s about to learn that control isn’t always his to keep.)

    Summary

    “I was thinking about you,” Amane says. “And I thought - if I don’t go for it now... then when? You know? When else was I gonna do it? I don’t have all the time in the world. No one does. I thought about what’d happen if I missed my chance. If I left it too late. And—” Whatever he thought about that doesn’t bear repeating: he shakes his head. A short sharp rejection of the very idea. “So I thought I better seize the day.”

    “Thank you for seizing the day,” Nene says happily. She sips her smoothie, also happily. She pushes it across the table, happily, to offer Amane a sip which he accepts from Nene’s own straw; happily, she takes it back. Happily is the state in which Nene will do everything she ever does in all the rest of her life.

    Summary

    “Aww, c’mon, Amane…” Tsukasa said, his arm around his brother’s shoulder. “I thought you’d like her practice flirting with you!”
    “That’s the problem…” Amane's voice faltered, quieter now. “…I do like it.”

    Nene Yashiro wants her first kiss but knows she’s terrible at flirting. And when Tsukasa accidentally finds this information out, he suggests she “practices” on his brother Amane Yugi.

    Summary

    Tired of constant attention from weird boys at school, Nene jokingly says she has a “very scary boyfriend.”

    Tsukasa overhears, and the next day shows up with a handwritten badge that says:

    ”Nene's Very Scary Boyfriend".

    He takes the job way too seriously, until she starts wishing it wasn't fake.

    Summary

    Seeds of stories, brought by the wind and cultivated by time.

     

    “Let’s… Let’s play a game of hypotheticals, okay?
    “Let’s say that Guizhong reappeared by some miracle, and that you met again. That would be wonderful, wouldn’t it? You’d be over the moon, wouldn’t you?”

    “I suppose that I would be shocked, but overjoyed at her return,” Zhongli replied after a moment of reflection. “But what is the catch here?”

    “The catch?” Venti wheezed, a sob shaking him as he tried to breathe. “She doesn’t remember you. None of your time together. No memories of what you ever said or did together. You’re just another person she’s just met on her journey.”

    It wasn’t her fault that she couldn’t remember him. Aether had forgotten so much of his childhood as well. It wasn’t either of their faults. It wasn’t his either.

    They had all been dealt a horrifically hilarious joke of a life to live.

    Summary

    “and from then?” he asks, but the question is unneeded. he knows her answer, and she knows that he knows.

    ’i will remain here,’ her eyes declare, sad, defiant and stubborn. ’and you will go wherever the sun will set.’

    “well,” aether says with a clap, lifting out of his chair and stretching out his limbs. “do you remember how you escaped from this place?”

    her answering grin is among one of the brightest he has ever seen.

    ’i miss you already. i miss you always,’ his matching one says, but she has already turned to face the door.

    Summary

    She wakes to the caustic tang of salt on the wind; he wakes to the pungent stench of fear in the air.
    Lumine expects only a long, uncertain search for her brother. Venti expects only another disaster to untangle.
    Neither anticipates the upheavals, betrayals, and quiet moments that will bind them; nor the slow, steady warmth that begins to feel like home.

    A tale of how Lumine and Venti crash into each other’s orbits… and slowly, inevitably, choose to stay. And with that choice, things shift and unravel. Follows the game’s story quests, with rewrites for continuity and character depth; mostly lore-compliant and canon-aligned. Focus will be on Lumine and Venti's growing bond, and how that might alter the way they interact with the world around them.

    Summary

    Of all the people Lumine could have fallen in love with, it had to be the God of Wind. The same God of Wind who, in a span of 2600 years, had never shown any inclination to take a lover. There was no reason to assume she could be the first - after all, no one who was interested in a relationship would go two and a half millenia without. But Lumine was fine with it. Like, super fine. Really. Nothing to see here.

    Of all the people Lumine could have fallen in love with, it had to be the God of Wind. The same God of Wind who, in a span of 2600 years, had learned enough about humans to tell when someone was absolutely not fine.

    --

    Summary

    “Please,” he says, extending a hand to shake. “Call me Morax.”

    Venti grasps his hand, noticing how small his hand is in comparison. “And I’m Barbatos. It’s, um, very nice to finally meet you!”

    Morax’s expression softens minutely, a ghost of a smile appearing. “Likewise,”

    Oh, Venti was doomed.

    " “Dahlia.” Venti suddenly speaks, causing the man in question to startle slightly.

    “Um— Yes?”

    “What does being religious mean to you?”

    “I’ve got time.” "
