    Summary

    [ The man who rises from the closest table to the thrones is younger than Dan Heng expected. He is tall and his dark eyes are hooded by even darker brows, his mouth set in a pin-straight line. His hair sits behind his head in a bun that spills out of its binds.

    Their eyes catch for a heartbeat and Dan Heng averts his immediately, shifting them to his bare, dirty feet. In the corner of his eyes, the General approaches the display in the middle of the room. The plinth to the left of Dan Heng hosts a casket of gold and the one on the right holds a sword.

    “Surely that sword,” he hears someone say.

    “Oh, but last time he chose a sword too. He might take that bow there.”

    Just as Dan Heng is beginning to feel a modicum of relief in thinking this man must prefer weapons, a shadow falls over him.

    “This one.” ]

    ~

    After six years of imprisonment, Dan Heng is no longer a stranger to cages. When the general of the conquering nation chooses him as a war prize, he has already resigned himself to a fate of servitude.

    But the general's motive lie elsewhere and another fate awaits him in this land of eternal snow.

    Summary

    The future is space,
    earth-colored space,
    cloud-colored,
    color of water, air,
    black space with room for many dreams,
    white space with room for all snow,
    for all music.

    Behind lies despairing love
    with no room for a kiss.
    There's a place for everyone in forests,
    in streets, in houses;
    there's an underground space, a submarine space,
    but what joy is to find in the end,
    rising,

    an empty planet
    great stars clear as vodka,
    so uninhabited and so transparent,
    and arrive there with the first telephone
    so that so many men can later discuss
    all their infirmities.

    -Future is space, original by Pablo Neruda.

    Summary

    Irontomb no longer exists, or maybe it never existed at all. Amphoreus greets the universe beyond the skies, broken but determined to see the real future on the horizon.

    It's a happy ending, but Phainon feels as if the entire world is falling on top of him like rocks, as if he's drowning in the sudden reality of it all like a sailor lost at sea.

    So he makes the only choice he can think of: he runs away.

    A ragtag group of Crysos Heirs and two experts on interstellar travels follow him.

    Summary

    Nahida's task comes in two flavours of hard. The hard: trying to track down the Fatui while being countless days behind. The harder: doing it with someone else, while assessing their suitability for Sumeru's top duties.

    Cyno, of course, does it anyway.

    Summary

    Jing Yuan, the 'Dozing General', the Lion of Loufu, one of seven Arbiter-Generals that defend the Xianzhou Alliance with life and limb.

    Everyone praised him for his service, or scorned him for his decisions.

    But glories came and went, as did opinions and connections and all the other messy bits of life.

    Such was the way of the Xianzhou, the curse of Long-Life species.

    It didn't mean it made being left behind any easier to bare.

    Or time less heavy to carry on one's long tired shoulders.

    And Aeons, was he tired.

    So very tired.

    But who would have thought stumbling upon a ray of sunshine, a seed blooming in the heart of a desolate battlefield, the weary lion might actually find something worth living for.

    If only to keep the light ever burning.

    --OR!--

    Jing Yuan becomes a father and experiences all the wonders and chaos that comes alongside it.

    Also Featuring:

    Band AU!: Where The High Cloud Quintet is a famous band and they raise Yanqing together.

    What If AU!: Where the High Cloud Quintet survived. The Sedition didn't happen. And now these five Xianzhou Legends are raising a little golden haired swallow.
