    Summary

    The kumohami did not like smog. It thickened the water vapor and slowed down the rate at which the mushi could absorb cloud. Sometimes they became trapped and found it difficult to untangle themselves from the sea of smoke-sick haze. On long windless days they drifted like balls of dandelion fluff, torn from their roots and slowly disintegrating, whenever Ginko raised his eyes towards the cityscape.

    Or: the one where Ginko's journey is a road-trip.

    Summary

    There once was a dragon with shimmering scales, whose beauty and might was envied by all. It soared between clouds and paced through the mountains and nothing in the world could escape its gaze. It was the greatest of beasts, and it had everything a great beast could have ever wanted. But even so, behind its shining claws and amber eyes, there was a craving.

    A folktale-esque telling of Zhongli's journey and those around him. Written for the Lapis Dei zine.

    Poignant and pretty. (beautiful and strange, perhaps...)

    Summary

    The story of why the weird grown-up doesn’t smile, why Master Jean tries so hard to be the best she and the knights could possibly be, and why Kaeya can’t get used to being lonely even if he’s used to being alone. And the story of how it begins to get better for them.

    And it starts with: “Blackwater Operations Conclusion (December 25th Year 21) Diluc and Kaeya cheer up Jean while the knights set an investigation perimeter around the area. Varka came to scold them, after I took this photo, for moving around while sustaining injuries he says. As if these kids didn’t just sled off of headquarters’ roof last Friday – Alice”

    Summary
    Vile: He said that even though the Treasure Hoarders can come in handy occasionally, he draws the line at working with anyone who “threatens other people’s family.”
    Vile: He also said, and I quote: “People like that are criminal to the core…all they deserve is to be hunted down and destroyed.”

    —Vile, about “a certain gentleman” (“that guy [Traveler’s] such good friends with”), from the commission A Surprise Gift


    When Diluc is ten, a few enterprising Treasure Hoarders decide they can make some quick Mora by kidnapping and ransoming the eldest son of Ragnvindr family.

    His nine-year-old baby brother takes this very, very personally.
