Summary
If the Fatui are such a nuisance, you may think, why would I put myself through the trouble of keeping one as an acquaintance, let alone one of their highest ranking members? Surely, that would exhaust me even more. And in a way, you’d be right. Childe is exhausting. He’s cunning yet idiotic, bold but somehow... gentle? A kid that crawled out of the Abyss half-monster, and yet so incredibly fragile and human. That's to say nothing of his stores of energy, as limitless as the money in the Northland Bank. He never stops asking for an ass-whooping.
And I keep taking him up on it.
:::
Lumine reflects on her sparring with Childe, and how he handles her rage.

Summary
Beidou didn’t care who they eventually pinned it on, or what happened to the woman. As long as she could spend her time on land, or with Ningguang in her nifty little room in the air, she’d be just fine. And with him out of the way, soon Ningguang could be too.
:::
Beidou and Ningguang have a sort of complicated history.
Inspired by Taylor Swift’s “no body, no crime” which i do not own, obvi, as well as how the girlies got their visions.

Summary
There’s nothing they can do to help it, really. Both of the twins are blushers, for a variety of reasons, usually ones only they can decipher. Aether, the sweet boy he is, flushes at any and every compliment, refusing to accept any of them out of humility. Archons only know what shade he’d be with Lisa calling him cutie rather than his name. When they’re together, Lumine will usually speak to the complimenter, thanking them on his behalf as he turns pink. Lumine, on the other hand, is usually more composed when receiving compliments. It takes a lot to catch her off guard. Instead of flushing from compliments, it’s often a result of her blood beginning to boil when angry or annoyed, and Aether usually has to advise people to run.
Without Aether around to help, the people of Teyvat have had to figure that out for themselves.

This is my first time posting a fanfic, I hope it's not the worst thing I've ever written.

Summary
When Colin Bridgerton returns from his travels, exclaiming loudly and proudly that he'd gotten his soulmark, the entire ton is sent into a buzz of excitement.
But when he proclaims Miss Penelope Featherington as his true love, he is baffled to receive an icy response - until she shows him the mark she worked so hard to cover over the off-season.
Penelope Featherington's soulmark is black.
And it's all his fault.

Summary
"He's been gone too long.
It always hits him like this, it always seems to fall over him all at once. When intricate buildings and foreign cuisine and strangers’ faces are no longer endless and exciting new beauty but instead reminders of home.
The walls here remind him of the hall where the debutants make their attempted marks. The stairs up to the gallery are carpeted, and as the soles of his boots lay upon each one, the give sends him right back to the steps at Bridgerton House. The light is even shining similarly to how it does back in England, and perhaps the sun is the same everywhere but he never seems to notice that until the pain of distance becomes ineludible.
Yes, he feels it right behind his heart, in the way he swallows more thickly as he wakes now. It’s in each breath, as if the air here just isn't quite right…
That woman’s hair is so much like…
Christ.
It is endless.
It is time to go home.
He won't, though. Not for a while. Never does."

Summary
“Well, I heard in town that you were looking for some help digging a well. And I thought I might provide my services.”
Penelope stared at him. “Now why on God’s green earth would you want to do that?” she asked, more bluntly than was perhaps proper for a young lady. “We can’t pay you.” Their father had left them with almost nothing, save this land and the house they were standing on. It was a pretty nice house - better than some of the others in the area - but life was hard.
He shook his head and turned his hat over in his hands. “No, I didn’t expect you could. I hoped you might instead pay me in kind.”
Penelope’s cheeks flushed red and she looked down, her hands smoothing the faded yellow cotton of her day dress. She didn’t suppose he meant what it sounded like he meant, being a gentleman and all, but the idea of Colin Bridgerton taking that sort of payment from her made her cheeks hot.
