Summary
Qiqi's memory is like a sieve. Out of necessity, she always carries around a notebook in which she writes anything important that she is sure to forget later.
But on her worst days, she even forgets to look at her notebook…– Qiqi’s character description from genshin.hoyoverse.com
This fic is modern AU where Qiqi's friendships and relationships are explored through the lens of life, and how things would be if she got to grow up alongside her friends. With a heavy side dosage of angst.

If One Dreams At Midnight by steampunk_panic

Summary
Firefly heard some gentle footsteps. A lithe figure with dark grey hair walked into her peripheral vision. She turned, and saw the girl of her dreams sparkling right before her eyes.
The girl’s aura glowed as if the memoria was dancing around her. Her grey hair was slightly tousled from the dreamscape’s wind. Firefly’s feet moved her forward, and she instinctively called out to the Nameless for help.
To Firefly’s surprise and delight, the Trailblazer agreed.
The events of the Penacony 2.0 Trailblaze quest (The Sound and the Fury) told from Firefly's point of view, and with a heavy dash of headcanons because Penacony's main storyline isn't over and the author is in denial.

Summary
Akito heaved, gasping for oxygen as if he’s never breathed in his life. Slowly, his vision lightened, and his hurried breaths slowed. He felt his limbs shaking.
He could still hear his phone playing the same KAITO song he had on loop. Maybe he should have just let himself be bullied into leaving. He doesn’t think he’ll be able to sing, let alone dance, for the next couple of days.
Hiroto’s cackling echoed in the alley. “See, this is what happens when childish scum like you don’t listen to their elders. They get the punishment they deserve.”
Akito coughed. “Okay, I get it, you prick,” he rasped out. “You’ll beat up someone half your size if they don’t listen to you. Can you leave me alone now?”

Summary
“You only come down here to access your gaming console, correct? Haven’t I told you,” Ei said, her voice becoming sharper, harsher, testier, “that you’re only allowed to ‘play’ whenever you’re on holiday, or when you’ve managed to accomplish something worthwhile?”
He blinked. His grades have dipped slightly, sure, but he was still maintaining straight A’s and was one of the best students in his class, right? (Was he?)
“You’re lucky you still live in this house, and that you still have some of the privileges I’ve let you have,” Ei snarled. “But perhaps I’ve let you have too much freedom.”

Kunikuzushi loves his mother. After all, what son wouldn’t? But sometimes the relationships that are the closest to your heart hurt you the most.
(I read a fic on this site and was inspired to make a fanmade prequel for that fic. It’s a form of fanfiction inception, if you will.)

Summary
Skirk is a warrior. A swordswoman. A fighter. She is not cut out for frivolous social events - especially ones where she has to play as a politician.
aka
What if the Tsaritsa diplomatically invited all of the nations and asked for their gnoses instead of conspiring and infiltrating their nations to steal them?
(A submission for the event "An Abyssal Ball" in the Skirk Mains Discord server, in celebration for reaching 1k members!
The prompt was: "In the writing segment, you will write a short fanfiction (around 2k words is recommended, but there is no set limit) themed around Skirk, and in a ball setting, if you can, but it is not compulsory."
As you can see by the word count, I've surpassed the word limit by a decent margin, but I've written something I'm pretty proud of, so it's fine ~) -
