Summary
“Do you…” she found herself starting again, before hesitating, because it was of no consequence to her, and Sandrone always followed logic more than anything else. But she was so curious, her gears halting and then erratically speeding up in a pattern she didn’t recognize. She needed to ask, if only to ebb this uneasy and vulnerable feeling away. “...Do you also stay in her room like you do with mine?”
Columbina stopped eating, surprised by the question. She had no idea about the suffocating feeling in Sandrone's chest that accompanied her as she waited for her answer in a bated breath. “No,” she eventually replied. “I only stay in your room, I feel most comfortable here with you.”
Sandrone was a clockwork doll, and Columbina was a moon goddess. Both were living solitary lives before they met, both unable to experience emotions the way ordinary humans could. Yet, somehow, their paths converged and the foundations of everything Sandrone thought she knew crumbled to the ground.
(or, how Sandrone and Columbina learned about love through the centuries.)

When the Hypothesis Was You by OreoxM1lk

Summary
“It’s not your fault that you don’t love me. But it’s mine that I still do.”
Two prodigies. One thesis. Seven years of sleepless nights, laughter, and everything left unsaid between equations and coffee stains.
They were supposed to celebrate — a small forced trip before graduation, a toast to brilliance and discovery. But between the sea breeze, half-finished beers, and all the words Herta never said, something else surfaces — something neither of them were ready to name.
Because how do you measure love when it was never part of the formula?
And when the hypothesis was you, failure was inevitable.

Summary
Those restless nights and numerous red bull cans in her trashcan must've caused temporary brain damage to Sandrone, because what she was seeing now was most definitely a hallucination.
"You have awoken me from my centuries of slumber, hence, I will serve your every wish." An eeriely calm voice came from the not–ghost figure, her lips curving as if this was funny for her. "My name is Columbina, Wish granter from the Moon."
"GET OUT OF MY ROOM TRESPASSER!!!"
or,
After sneaking into the restricted area of an antique mechanical parts store, Sandrone accidentally finds a lamp aging back from the Archon war and lets curiosity gets the best of her.

Summary
But Columbina was indescribably happy in the moments with Sandrone, which became less and less fleeting as the years passed by. What began as brief, cordial interactions caused only by the responsibilities of their work evolved into tea parties after hours, singing duets that Columbina assumed both roles for outside of Sandrone's door, her nap times in Sandrone's impossibly comforting bed, and much more. These moments were partially how Columbina knew something was wrong with Dottore, that ill-advised doctor, and encouraged her to desert from the Fatui.
She had bigger things to worry about than losing her pension and retirement plan.

“Columbina!” she hissed, “It’s the middle of the night, what do you think you’re doing knocking on my door?”
There was silence after her question.
“Well? Did you come by just to disturb me for no reason, or do you have something to say?!” She pressed, walking up to the closed door.
“May I come in?”

Summary
On her way home after school, Sandrone runs into a strange girl wandering beneath the winter rain, dressed in nothing but her nightgown, singing to herself.
It turns out to be the start of a very unlikely relationship.[“Right, I won’t make you go home if you don’t want to,” Sandrone grumbles, shivering. “But you are coming with me before you succumb to hypothermia.”
The girl blinks, bemused.
“Is this… kidnapping?”
“Hah?!” Sandrone exclaims, “Why would anyone want to kidnap you?”
The girl opens her mouth as if to answer, and Sandrone quickly cuts her off.
“Don’t say anything. Come with me, stay out here and freeze, it doesn’t matter to me either way. Do whatever you like.”
With that, she turns on her heel and walks away, stuffing her hands into her skirt pockets in an attempt to keep them warm. The girl stares at her with wide eyes, her mouth open but no words coming out, one small, pale hand clutching the front of Sandrone’s coat.
A few moments later, she is back under Sandrone’s umbrella, humming another song to herself as she links their arms together.
Flinching, she hisses, “What do you think you’re doing?”
“Whatever I like,” the girl replies, nonchalant.]- Language:

Summary
Columbina tapped her chin very slowly. “Well, I'm the one wearing an apron and nametag while you aren't… If anything, I should be asking who you are.”
Sandrone has to force herself not to explode at this point. She's offended, she's confused, she's annoyed to hell and back. Whatever trick the universe was pulling on her at this very moment, she does not like it.
“Hah, as if you don't already know my name for some reason,” she snaps back. “You know what, I’m not going to waste my time dealing with you.”
Without caring for an answer, she immediately pushes past Columbina to go into the backroom to look for Lauma. If only she had turned back – even for a split second – before the curtain closed, then she would have seen the abrupt change in Columbina's expression.
Sandrone is broke, tired, hungry, and worst of all, an engineering student.
After her father gets hospitalized, she decides to get a part-time job at a flower shop to become less of a burden to him, but what she doesn't expect is the annoying and utterly incompetent coworker that she has to put up with.

Summary
Sandrone prefers silence, and the empty seat beside her. It is a space no one in class ever sits in.
Then a new student transfers in.
Soft-spoken. Calm.
And unexpectedly… blind — walking with a white cane and quiet confidence straight toward the empty seat beside Sandrone, throwing her completely off-guard.
The new student isn’t fragile.
She isn’t helpless.
And for the first time, someone sits beside Sandrone without fear.And that’s what unsettles Sandrone most.
To make matters worse, she’s assigned as the transfer student’s “class buddy.”
“The hallway’s getting crowded,” the new girl says softly.
“Can I stay closer to you?”Sandrone scoffs.
“Stay close.”
A pause.
“…If you want.”- Language:
