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.
Phainon leaves Amphoreus seeking a new path. A ragtag group of Crysos Heirs (plus Stelle and Dan Heng) follow him.
This triggers a chain reaction of surprising friendships, unlikely alliances and lots of adventures.

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.

When a Lion Makes a Nest For a Swallow by MageWriterSola
Fandoms: 崩坏：星穹铁道 | Honkai: Star Rail (Video Game)
06 Aug 2025

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.

Summary
Hugo’s resentment at Lycaon’s decision to leave Mockingbird, his hatred towards his father, the fear as he sat at Lycaon’s side, waiting – for either help to come, or for Lycaon’s heartbeat to fade away – all of that has been smothered by sheer exhaustion, leaving Hugo numb and empty.
Without his emotions getting in the way, Hugo’s thoughts are startlingly clear.
Betrayals and abandonment, secrets and broken promises – none of those matter. All that matters is Lycaon, and who he is to Hugo.
His dearest partner, now turned his greatest traitor.
And yet—
—still his, always.
(Their confrontation after the failed assasination attempt on the Ravenlock family head is not the last time Hugo sees Lycaon; before they go their separate ways, Hugo makes several arrangements that, years later, will influence his reunion with Lycaon and set the stage for future collaborations.
Missing scenes from Hugo and Lycaon's past and present, on their separation and eventual reconciliation. Contains major spoilers for Bury Your Tears With The Past Part A and B).

Summary
Recognition bleeds into Dan Heng’s face. Cloud-Piercer dissipates into glowing vapor; then his horns, his long hair. His clothing resolves itself back into the coat and dark shirt Stelle is familiar with, equally damaged, scuffed and bloody and frayed when Stelle has never seen him with so much as a hair out of place.
“Stelle,” he says, and then it’s like all of his strings are cut at once. He falls.
Hoolay takes Dan Heng instead.

Summary
The cruelest thing about the Nameless was that they made it so easy to pretend that Sunday belonged. They fed that greedy, stupid, childish thing that cried out from within him, tossing enough scraps of amity for him to piece them together into something that felt like home. The curtains only closed when Sunday lay awake at night and stared at the ceiling of the bedroom that wasn’t really his, and he remembered that it started like this and could only end like this: with him, alone in the dark.
Sunday is found by the Astral Express Crew after fleeing Penacony. He accepts their offer to join, and realizes that
a. fitting into this tight-knit group is likely impossible
b. trouble finds the Trailblazers no matter where they go.or, the chronicle of the Astral Express trying, failing, and trying again to fit Sunday into their family.

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
It’s a mystery even to himself how he remembers the expression Cyno always made when they battled eight years ago, but chalks it off to the many recordings of the Champion he has seen along the years. Cyno is, technically, a celebrity; it’s impossible not to see his face plastered everywhere whenever Alhaitham is in town.
In a way, Cyno’s fame was the one reason why he hadn’t forgotten his childhood rival’s face, even though they had still been kids the last time they saw each other.
Eight years ago, Alhaitham and Cyno had been neighbors and rivals, but that no longer has anything to do with Alhaitham. It was supposed to stay that way, until the Sages decide to return and Alhaitham is called in to assist the Sumeru Champion in investigating the matter.
