Summary
he may be the king between the two of them, but sinbad was a sailor before anything, and he knows how to spot polaris when he sees it. he trusts ja'far to guide him to the ends of the earth and back, and knows that he will follow. sinbad wants to build paradise? well, ja'far's freckles are made of honey and taste like whiskey, and he knows enough about pleasure to know what that means.
in other words: sinbad's hopelessly in love with his grand vizier and vice versa so he waxes three thousand words worth of poetry about it.

Summary
he thinks of those days spent in weathered bandages like a cage. he thinks of how similar survival felt to fear and how similar predator sounded to prey. he ties twin wires tight around his arms like crimson veins; blood is the weight of the sacrifices they've borne.
a life spent merely surviving seems so far away, when he follows devotion. birds are most vulnerable when they’re in flight and yet he leaves that cage behind to chase the rays of his golden sun. this is his promise; there's no greater freedom than the piety he's sworn.ja'far and his relationship to loyalty and trust, then and now.

Summary
archons pray to no one. they kneel to no foe, no oblation. there is no weapon seven yield to, no equal they face other than death’s hound itself.
he is not human, not weak; yet morax falls here, blood and dirt and gold all the same if blessed the right way. which one is he? who is zhongli, if not the corpse of a memory blessed?

purity is best described in sticky reds and sulfur tears. reverence is purgatory given to the heralds of absolute zero.

Summary
She was supposed to die in a year’s time. It wasn’t supposed to be like this. It was never supposed to be like this.
Or: Yashiro Nene has been around supernaturals far too much for a human without high spiritual energy. She pays the price.
