Summary
"He smiles to himself and begins to walk, unhurried, in Lohen’s direction. He doesn’t try to be quiet. He wants Lohen to hear him coming – to feel fear rushing up his throat, to bolt from his hiding spot like a scared rabbit, to run. And he knows Lohen wants him to give chase. To hunt him down until he’s breathless and trembling, to catch him and pin him and make him his."
Lohen needs to let loose. Varka, as always, indulges him.

Summary
On the horizon, a pale light blooms across the waves. The sun is still hidden behind the mass of dark water, but soon it will make its appearance. Duty is a harsh mistress indeed; Xiao can already feel her tugging at his gut. But for the first time in millennia, for the first time in so long that it hurts behind his sternum to think about, he doesn’t want to leave.
A lantern drifts by above them, splattered silver and gold beneath the fading light of the moon. Xiao glances to the side. Yelan is lying flat on her back, eyes closed, fur-lined cape spread out around her shoulders, braid slightly askew. The grass, almost black in the darkness, fades into the ebony of her hair.
Or; two duty-bound souls connect under a lantern-lit sky.

Summary
"Ganyu isn’t scared of much. She’s seen war, blood, death; and worst of all she has seen the inexorable passage of time, tearing loved ones away from each other, leaving her alone in a world where she doesn’t quite belong. She’s not scared of that, not anymore; she’s not scared of monsters, human or otherwise. But for some strange reason, the mere presence of the 77th Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor is enough to send shivers up her spine."
or, Hu Tao's obsession with Ganyu takes a turn for the worse.

Summary
Seven ideals for seven gods, and of these, Eternity is nearest unto Heaven.
"Before she was Raiden, she was Baal – this much she knows. But a name is not a lot to cling to when the great void of time opens up before her. It is a sea of darkness with four letters floating within. She fishes them out, but they have nothing left to give her."

Summary
“Are you sure it’s him?” Yanqing asks, continuing on with a conversation Jing Yuan wasn’t aware they were having.
“Hm?” Jing Yuan rolls his head towards Yanqing. The passage of time is truly a work of wonders. His disciple has never looked younger, eyes wide and wild, pleading with fate before Jing Yuan.
“The one you— the one who’s cursed you. Are you sure it’s Blade?”or
Jing Yuan contracts a rare form of Mara sickness in the form of Hanahaki Disease.

Summary
"She touched his arm,” Lohen said, flat.
Mika made a small, strangled sound.
Kaeya leaned forward with the enthusiasm of a tavern bard sensing free material. "Oh, she did."
"Kaeya," Mika lamented.
"What? She did.”
“Kaeya.”
“I'm just reporting. Accurately, if I might add."
"Kaeya, please."
"It's called journalism, Mika."For several days, Varka has been acting suspiciously. He keeps meeting a Fontainian merchant, disappearing during work hours, and refusing to explain himself.
Naturally, Lohen responds with a perfectly reasonable amount of stalking, jealousy, and crime.Bookmarked by kagathos

Pulcinella's Guide to PR and Marketing Strategies - Idol Edition by Bgtea

Summary
To say that Inazuma’s Mission is a disaster is putting it lightly. What happened in Inazuma is unequivocally a clusterfuck with a capital C, a shit storm of epic proportions not unlike the one raised by Osial himself during the Liyue Mission, which, coincidentally, also tanked the Fatui’s reputation. Dear Archons, it tanked the Fatui’s reputation so hard and so fast that Pulcinella will be lucky if he can manage to dredge up its shattered remains from the depths of the Earth in which it now lays.
Luckily, Pulcinella has a Plan to fix things, and it all starts with an old, black-and-white photo of Tartaglia in a glorious winter coat.

Summary
Sara thinks that all she can rely on is her own routine, at this point.
She thinks.
Then one day, she walks out of the courtyard after her five laps and her five targets for archery, and sees an orange-haired foreigner outside the Tenryou Commission, lying facedown in a pool of his own blood.
...
Sara passes by Childe’s bedroom and hears coughing.
She slides the door open, quietly in the secret way she learned as a child. Childe doesn’t notice her peering through the crack, as he bends over the side of his bed, choking out breaths.
Blood stains the trash can.

Summary
Instead of the usual gratitude, the stranger shrugs, and his mouth twists into something like a pout. “Shame,” he says. “I was looking forward to blowing some work funds.”
Thoma blinks. “Excuse me?”
The stranger pulls out a bag of Mora. From the sound it makes when he shakes it, it must hold more than most regular people ever get to see in one place all their lives. “The head of the finance department hates me,” he says. A wink. (Thoma swallows, and wonders, vaguely, if this is how other people feel around him.) “So I do it on purpose to annoy him.”
Okay, that’s—only mildly ridiculous.
Or: Thoma meets Childe by accident. And then keeps seeing him on purpose. Kind of.
