Summary
“Luka?” In the doorway, Till and Isaac have paused to watch him. Isaac’s expression is carefully neutral, but there’s a glint in Till’s eyes that makes Luka’s spine itch. “Do you need anything, before we let you settle in?”
Luka’s fingers curl into loose fists. “What,” he says, so soft he can barely taste the words, “am I supposed to do now?”

Summary
“I’m sorry, but what year is it?”
Prussia tells him. In a tone which makes it clear he thinks you’re stupid, which is both like and unlike him, the attitude, yes, but Prussia was always the one saying stupid shit while Germany would sigh and roll his eyes and ignore Prussia’s leer.
It’s an answer as unreal as Prussia’s appearance. Six hundred years into the past.

Summary
"Are you familiar with the painting done by Michelangelo, The Creation of Adam?" Alfred had written to his Russian friend. "I look at a globe, and that is what I imagine when I see the fingers of Russian America reaching out towards you. I imagine those could be my fingers, and we could be separated only by the Bering Sea."
And Mr. Braginsky had said, "I would like that very much, Mr. Jones."
And the American government said, "SOLD!"

Summary
After Liyue is saved, the tale moves on to heroes and victories. But Childe isn’t a hero. He’s the villain who played a part, and the city won’t let him forget it. Between accusations, whispers, and the Qixing's watchful eyes, he finds himself juggling duty, guilt, and grudges in equal measure.
But Childe endures the whispers and the blades, not for himself, but for the people forced to follow him. He’ll play the part of the monster, the shield, the pawn—anything but the broken man he truly is.
He'll hide his mind from the prying eyes of people who want him dead, he'll mask his feelings from the people who twisted the knife in his back, so he can play the best role he's ever gotten. Even if that role humiliated him and stomped on his pride, he'll play it nevertheless. And he'll play it well.
He must, because he has to leave before he loses his mind.
The story doesn’t end with a happy ever after. Not for villains. Not for Childe.
(It does, don't worry, for the ones who don't want to read something unless it has a happy ending. Me too)

Summary
“Let us be the Deliverer together, partner.”
The Trailblazer speaks these words as an oath. But this is not just a promise to that unblemished past—but also to the tarnished future. The Flame Reaver of 33, 550, 337th cycle is not prepared for this.

Summary
“That’s not childish.” If he had a heart, he’s sure it would be pounding. “That’s the definition of peace. The soul’s greatest desire. It is never too far out of reach.”
“Isn’t it?” Phainon whispers, but his brow gentles, posture relaxing into the chilly night's air. “And what is it you desire, Anaxa?”
A touch, as the baby dromas snuggles close, and for one fleeting moment, an image crosses his thoughts. Watching the sunset, satisfied from a day fulfilled by the gentle touch of companionship and a homecooked meal. They'd have a home, together.
“Peace,” Anaxa says eventually. “I, too, desire peace.”
Anaxagoras has fifteen days left to alter the course of Amphoreus' history for good, and he's resigned every hour to it wreathed in the slow and agonizing deterioration of a body that is already dead. The plan was to spend the brunt of it alone, in the solitary halls of his quarters.
The plan did not include Phainon, who shows up at his door in the middle of the night, asking for a place to stay.
or: Anaxa is dying. Phainon disagrees.

Summary
Caelus grabbed Sampo’s wrist.
“Could you go in first?” he asked. “Just that… it’s a rule for these things. Tallest goes in first. To prevent… blockages… in the dream flow thing.”
Sampo’s eyebrows pinched. It was clear he didn’t really believe Caelus, but there was a glint in his eyes that was more nervous than angry.
“Uh. Sure thing, pal.”
Alright. This was it. There was no saying what the dreamscape within a dreamscape would have in store for them, and it was unknown if they’d be able to rest once they stepped through. Caelus’s grip tightened on Sampo’s wrist as the man stepped forward to the Artwork.
“I’m not going anywhere,” Sampo said with his stupid smile.
Then, he pulled the both of them into the Artwork.
Or
Caelus and Sampo get trapped in an Arcane Artwork by some very angry Pepeshi. It turns out that the dreamscape (and by extension, whatever is happening with and between Caelus and Sampo) needs a little digging to get through.

Summary
“Cousin Crown Prince.” Qi Rong called, with false enthusiasm, and a false smile- or, well, something that was supposed to resemble one.
Xie Lian mirrored his expression with a smile of his own, “This ancestor?” He repeated. It was when Qi Rong’s face visibly dropped when Xie Lian realised that there really was something going on.
Xie Lian decided to test it out before acting any further. He took a step forward, noting how Qi Rong sucked up his chest and (tried to) act as normal as he could. Then, Xie Lian leaned down, whispering, “Would you like to try some of the food I made? It's congee.”
Qi Rong fell to his knees.
