Summary
She showed up at Kris’s door with her hood up and her tail twitching, smelling like smoke that wasn’t hers. She had one of her mother’s old flannels tied around her waist, the sleeves long and dragging. Kris didn’t ask. Just stepped aside.
Toriel, from the kitchen, poked her head out and said only: “Shoes off, dear. I just mopped.”
Like Susie belonged there.
Like she wasn’t a guest anymore.
Kris gave her the couch and curled up on Chariel. Susie protested, at first—“It’s your damn house, dude,” she said, “I can sleep on the floor, I’ve done it before”—but Kris was already half-buried in blankets and completely silent, which meant the conversation was over.
At some point, when the house had gone completely quiet and the shadows settled, Susie whispered:
“Hey.”
Kris shifted their head to look at her.
The moonlight caught her hair, the jagged edge of her teeth. Her eyes were clearer than they ever were at school. No posturing. No sneer. Just Susie. Bare and real in a borrowed T-shirt, her knees pulled up, her voice a rasp.

Summary
“Did you...? Did you draw that? Draw me?”
She pointed to the sketchbook in his hands. His drawing hand was still absentmindedly adding some final details to a beautiful portrait of the astrologist, which contained every detail that had filled his thoughts for the past hour.
“Ah, it seems I have.” He gazed up to meet her eyes, still bold enough to do so even though he can tell how hot his face has become.
——On a night when the stars of Teyvat are as clear as day, Mona requests for Albedo’s assistance to record the constellations they observe for research. Eventually, Albedo finds himself sketching—what is in his opinion—the most beautiful star of all.

Summary
“Xiao,” Venti repeats again.
Xiao lifts his head slightly from where it rests in Venti’s palm, smiling at the sound of his name from Venti’s lips. “Yeah?”
It is still the same smile Venti had fallen in love with over burnt eggs. It’s the same smile, but somehow, it’s a little more worn, a little more tired. It is a smile that looks like it has loved a little too much at all the wrong times, and it is now fractured at the corners and seams.
“This isn’t making you happy anymore, is it?” he asks gently.
(loving xiao is still the same breathtaking sight as it had been years ago.)

Summary
Aether didn’t know why Venti was the first name that came to mind when Tubby explained he could invite companions into his teapot. It was a testament to how exhausted he had been lately, but Aether just wanted that feeling of lightness and serenity that he’d come to associate with a particular anemo user. Freedom followed him around along with the currents of the wind.
Maybe it was the way that being around Venti felt like flying, but Aether was on his way to the Windrise Statue of the Seven before he could think any better of it.
A story of two people finding solace in each other, in a place of their own design.
