    Summary

    And yet, in spite of Ren’s best efforts – there he stands.

    A man with aging lines littered across his face, long silver strands fluttering in the wind as the gaze of the violet eyes pierces the depths of the immortal soul.

    Yingxing…

    The Master of the Creation Furnace has returned once more.

    Caught in an episode of mara after the High-Cloud Quintet's reunion, Ren is forced to confront his past yet again.

    (or: ‘Ichor of Two Dragons’ but it's Ren and Yingxing)

    Summary

    " As Jing Yuan entered, Blade looked up through his long bangs. He smiled like he knew something that Jing Yuan didn't, the grin curving unnervingly upwards past what seemed natural.

    (Jing Yuan could remember how he used to smile - always gentle and soft, laughter held back and covered up. He could be ruthless in battle, as all soldiers were expected to be, but he was so much more than this 'weapon' he'd somehow become.) "

    Or:

    The reason why Jing Yuan freed Blade from his imprisonment, and how Mara affects an unsupported mind.

    Summary

    When Elio had first described Blade to Kafka, she had imagined that being his handler would mean managing how he hurts other people.

    It turns out that mostly, she needs to keep him from hurting himself.

    Summary

    Kaeya and Diluc are caught in a collapsed cavern and realize that close bonds aren’t so easily broken.

    Or

    “How…how are we even getting out of this?” Kaeya will admit it’s a fair question, and it has more despair than Kaeya is comfortable with. “We’ll figure it out, but I can only do that if you’re awake.”

    “You don’t need me.” Diluc mumbles, and it’s not self-deprecating so much as it is belief in Kaeya and Kaeya feels a little impossibly happy right now even though it’s probably going to be the last time he’s ever happy because they are stuck in a rapidly melting enclosure of rock.

    “I do.” Kaeya says. “I need you so please stay awake.”

    “Okay.” Diluc breathes and it's hoarse and faint but nobody has willpower like Diluc so if he says he is staying awake he’s staying awake.
