Your memory engraved in my soul by Lilliae
Fandoms: 崩坏：星穹铁道 | Honkai: Star Rail (Video Game)
24 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
The whole world was nothing but darkness and pain but, somehow, he knew of these things from beyond it.
…
“Mydeimos,” the thin one said again.
Mydeimos. That high, firm voice.
Mydei. That low, soft voice.
These five knew something. Knew him or those voices.
So he gave them those two words burrowed somewhere deeper than his mind or body. Aedes Elysiae.
When Mydei finally emerges from the Sea of Souls after nine harsh winters, the most precious thing in the world to him isn’t his name, his body or his life. But two words he can’t remember the origin of: Aedes Elysiae.
As the years pass in exile, he finds himself plagued by knowledge that comes from the same maybe-past or maybe-future that wasn’t quite Mydei’s and yet was.
It took four years for him to stumble across Aedes Elysiae, a boy that calls the place home, and why those words were engraved upon his soul.

Summary
“Glad to see you back among the living,” Phainon says through a yawn, clearly having spent the night in the uncomfortable chair in the infirmary by Mydei’s side. Like he often does.
Mydei’s head hurts. Just the regular kind of pain, easily managed by ignoring it until it goes away. But what makes it worse, is the confusion at his predicament. The memories returning to him in death used to vary in time and people who appeared in them. Why is it always Phainon nowadays?
“Fuck you,” Mydei says, hoarsely. He feels like he is losing his mind.
Phainon’s mouth locks mid-yawn and he blinks down at him stupidly, tilting his head with confusion. It’s probably fair, he hasn’t even done anything to earn Mydei’s ire as of late.
or; Human brain lives for a few more minutes after dying, replaying the most cherished memories. Mydei starts seeing Phainon after each of his deaths.

for not all tears are an evil by delta_altair

Summary
“I…I never would have guessed that of all the competitions we’ve had over the years, an ‘endure the hot baths’ competition would be our l-last.”
It is supposed to be a joke, light and glib, but Phainon’s voice cracks on the final word. Last. He hastily flashes his easy smile to try and cover it up, but that action spurs tears to uncontrollably well in his eyes.
Breaking eye contact, Phainon looks away. A shuddering breath escapes him, before he all but whispers, “Hah…you must think me frail hearted.”
Mydei does not respond immediately. Instead, Phainon feels a gentle touch on the edge of his jaw. It tenderly guides his gaze back to Mydei’s own.
Then, with steely conviction, Mydei speaks.
“Never.”
....
“But…what do you mean by ‘our last’?”
Phainon is filled with grief at Mydei's departure from Okhema.
Mydei fills Phainon's heart with hope.An alternative ending to 3.1

Summary
"You do know we're soulmates right?"
"..."
"Mydei? Did you hear me?"
"Mhm."
Why couldn't Mnestia bless him with a better soulmate? Phainon gritted his teeth. This was not the romantic encounter Cyrene had told him all about. Why was Mydei so intent on pushing Phainon so far away? Why couldn't he just.. accept him as his soulmate?

The Cat Pastry Conundrum by midnighter777
Fandoms: 崩坏：星穹铁道 | Honkai: Star Rail (Video Game)
20 May 2024
Tags
Summary
“Ah, that.” Ratio nods, as if whatever the hell the pastry cat thing was…well, normal. It left Aventurine wondering if strange mutations running around were a common occurrence on the space station. The doctor gestures in the thing’s general direction. “That is one of Ruan Mei, member number 81 of the genius society’s creation. It’s simply a byproduct of one of her experiments and is harmless.”
The cat pastry's gelatinous body jiggles as it looks up at Aventurine, and blinks slowly. It warbles, and he has no idea what that sound was supposed to mean. “I’ll have someone pick it up in the meanwhile, and —“
”It can stay here.” Aventurine blurts before he can stop himself.
In which one of Ruan Mei’s cat pastries makes its way into Aventurine’s room, and he ends up caring for it with the help of a certain doctor.

Summary
After falling prey to the schemes of someone he considered his close friend, Yingxing brought the Xianzhou Luofu to utter ruin with the sheer violence of his vengeance.
And Dan Heng cheered him on every step of the way — after all, Yingxing was just the protagonist of a webnovel, and Dan Heng its avid reader.
Except, when Dan Heng succumbs to the mysterious chronic illness that has plagued him his entire life, he finds himself reborn into Yingxing's world...and he has to do everything he can to avoid the tragic fate that awaits him.

Summary
Even at the alter, General Ren does not smile. His expressionless gaze is cast on their joined hands instead as if it offends him. He does not lift his gaze until they rise from a deep bow, deeper than Dan Heng has ever had to in his life and it is for a man who has slain thousands of his people.
His smile slips when their eyes meet, a clash of green and red so vivid the world comes to a standstill to this single point in time.
After six years on the battlefield, Dan Heng meets defeat in the face of his consort.
~
In the aftermath of a bloody war, the way to a lasting peace treaty comes in the form of marriage; generals of their respective armies would be offered as consorts for the heirs of their nations. In the name of peace, Dan Heng reluctantly accepts the show of goodwill but seeing an enemy as a friend is no easy task.
It quickly becomes clear that his own people would sooner seek vengeance for their losses than to accept this political power play, even at the cost of their prince's life.

Summary
And then Zoro smirks.
“Almost,” he says, and he lets go of Sanji.
Sanji stumbles, eyes wide, and he barely stops himself from tripping over again. Zoro doesn’t move this time as Sanji catches himself, that smirk curled over his face and his eyes burn bright with a challenge in them that has Sanji’s blood starting to sing.
He pauses for a moment. Oh, oh okay.
Or, five times they almost kiss and the one time they do.

“It’s not a party,” Chopper pipes up, his eyes cutting nervously in Zoro’s direction. “He had an invitation for a wedding. Sanji’s wedding to Big Mom’s daughter.”
Zoro feels his breath catch, while beside him, Luffy laughs, the same loud guffaw he lets out whenever he finds something especially funny. “Well that can’t be right,” he says, elbowing Zoro in the ribs. “Sanji’s already married!”

Summary
“You’re lucky, Zoro,” she had spat, eyes turned up towards the sky, like she was trying to hold in tears. He'd never seen Kuina cry before. He’d never seen any expression on her face other than her teeth gritted in determination or her grinning in victory. “I want to be the greatest swordsman too. But girls grow up, and their bodies become weaker than men's. I’m never going to be the greatest.”
Kuina tells him this, and Zoro can barely comprehend the words she’s saying. He thinks of the countless hours he’s spent training by the river bed, the green locks of his hair left on the floor after Koushirou helped him shear it all off, of the people he thought of as family a lifetime ago calling him by a name he despised. Zoro puts a hand to his chest, where he’d hastily wrapped bandages earlier that day, remembering how his body had begun changing and he didn’t understand why-
“You’re lucky to have been born a man, Zoro,” Kuina finishes lamely.
Zoro sees red.

Summary
Zoro is a cambion, which means he feeds on sexual energy. A small crew like the Strawhats, its not normally enough to keep a cambion satisfied, but Sanji happens to be an abnormally sexually driven cook so it usually works out okay for Zoro. At least, it works out alright until Sanji finds out that Zoro's been taking energy from him through his dreams.
For Sanji, he's trying to wade through the confusing mess of emotions for a certain marimo after a surprise kiss on the battle feild. It's not easy to do on a normal basis. It certainly isn't any easier when the man he has deeper feelings for is a cambion.
Then everyone learns how important it is to keep their local cambion fed, for if they don't, someone might get eaten. literally.

Summary
Left with only three other crew mates, it’s a ready expectation that Sanji will start fawning all over Robin in his usual obnoxious way. However, that’s not what happens. Instead, looking wild around the eyes in a way only someone who knows him well would recognize, the cook doesn’t break stride until he’s firmly within Zoro’s orbit and can wrap both hands around his upper arm, clinging tight.
“Hi, darling,” he chirps, his expression desperately conveying that Zoro needs to play along under pain of death. “Did you miss me?”

Summary
Zoro took a good look at him. “Are you sure you’re okay?”
Why wouldn’t I be? My whole life has been a fucking lie, that’s all.
He wasn’t just not a ladies’ man anymore. And he wasn’t just not disgusted by that fucking brute and inelegant seaweed of a man.
Sanji had a huge, massive, overwhelming, undeniable crush on Zoro.
“Yeah, I’m fine.”
***
The Straw Hats end up on a small, seemingly empty island, where they take an opportunity to encounter the thing each of them needs the most, in a series of personal challenges. Sanji, like everybody else, goes on his search alone... until a stupid green marimo gets on his way.- Language:
