The Greatest of These by isnt_it_pretty
Fandoms: Kingdom Come: Deliverance (Video Games)
03 Jun 2025

Summary
“Floremesis,” the apothecary eventually muttered. He looked up, his expression pitying. “Flower petals; you’d best see a priest, lad. Nobody but God can help you.”
A shock ran through Henry like a cold wind, drawing his attention with a snap of focus. “Flower petals?” he repeated incredulously, his throat suddenly dry. “What, like Mary Magdalene?”
He’d never really believed the stories of saints and martyrs coughing up flowers. That was something that happened a thousand years ago, the words inked in Latin scripture on illuminated pages, not to now, not to him.

Summary
He waits until Luke leaves before forcing himself up on trembling limbs. One of his hoodies is shoved in his backpack, and he pulls it over his head without looking at his hands. Then he crawls back into bed.
It’s the last time he gets up for three days. He doesn’t tell anybody why.
Adam Sunborn doesn't take 'no' for an answer, and Elliot isn't quite as able to get away.

Goodnight to Shards of Glass by isnt_it_pretty for crystalmist

Summary
He has a reputation for slowing down, sometimes stopping the careers of young sorcerers who may turn out to be as good as he is. It’s a warped kind of compliment-you must have him worried enough that he had to check and see if your twin was like you.
(Thom passes his written mastery exam. Roger takes drastic measures.)

Summary
It began with fatigue, with shaking hands and malaise that haunted his every step. Annoying, but not unmanageable-- Cyno was raised in the desert, after all. He'd been through worse.
So he fit a couple more hours of sleep into his already overfilled schedule and waited for the symptoms of whatever minor ailment he contracted to abate.
They didn't.

AU where Cyno has Eleazar

Summary
He was tracking a scholar through the desert. Between Cyno's knowledge of the area and experience in combat, it should have been easy.
It wasn't.

Cyno takes an injury while alone in the desert. It doesn't go well for him.

Summary
There is blood beneath her fingernails and her usual clothes are stained red. She has spilled it across concrete and cobblestone, left bodies tied to cinder blocks to sink to the ocean floor.
Was it worth it?
Yes.

Summary
War is a terrible thing, she thinks, hours later, as she looks over the battlefield. It is covered in corpses, their uniform colours the only way to denote which side of the conflict they gave their life for.

Summary
It was late when Kaveh found him. He wondered, even years later, what would have happened if he hadn't, how fate may have changed. It kept him awake at night, the fear of how much worse things could have gotten, how much further Cyno could have bent before he broke.

Summary
When Ren thinks of his mother, he thinks of laughter and science. Periodic tables, diagrams of human brains, eating ice cream in the rain. He thinks of bedtime stories and late-night movies and sturdy arms around his shoulders. Family trips with Futaba in the back seat next to him, playing Pokemon on her DS as their mother sings along to the radio, the motion of the car lulling him to sleep.
He hopes that's what Futaba thinks of, too.

AU where Ren is the son of Wakaba Isshiki.Note: very slow updates due to health issues and other works, but not discontinued.

Summary
There are nights when the stress of the world on Cyno's shoulders gets a little too heavy, but at least Tighnari is always there to take some of the weight.

Summary
Blood, broken bottles, and shattered crates. Footprints scuffed the ground, arrows lay broken or forgotten, some lodged into trees. A sword with a red-stained hilt left abandoned and indents in the dirt where bodies must have lain, but no bodies themselves, no Cyno.
...
Or, 19-year-old Cyno is tortured.

Summary
The Akademiya's files, the labs, the experiments. He'd thought they were over, destroyed, wiped from Teyvat when Cyrus refused to continue the project-- when he took Cyno from the brightly lit labs and sterile white rooms. To discover that had been a lie-
For Alhaitham to be the one to find the files-

Alhaitham accidently finds something nobody should and Cyno dissociates on his bathroom floor for two days as a result.

Summary
The wind blew around him, unknowing or uncaring that he could feel its bite. It choked down his throat to tear at his lungs until nothing was left but blood. It was suffocating, oppressive, this heavy weight that he couldn't voice.
It felt like grief-- like the wind itself was a mirror, desperate and anguished like the agony rippling through him.
