    Summary

    “Earthquake?!” Meryl exclaims, already using her lack of balance as momentum to keep moving.

    “No, this is–” Vash says, interrupted yet again by the pincers rising from the sand like pillars erected as milestones. Meryl manages to dash towards the younger kid, as the sand starts to scatter into the air, clouding his vision. Slowly rising a final time before the surface tension bursts, he manages to see the older brother clutching his hat, glancing from side to side in some desperate search as Roberto sees frustration creep up his face.

    “Damned wenuts” he hears him curse loudly as the pressure of the mound finally breaks, and they sink in with the pile of sand.

    Summary

    “What sort of question is that?” Gently, Ajax leans on the rocky outcrop, peering into the depths to catch the faint outline of his tankmate, and then the glow of his eyes within. “Why would I go and leave you?”

    “Because I don’t want to leave.”

    “You and I both know that’s not true.”

    Summary

    Generally speaking, Kunikuzushi hates any sort of inconvenience. More vehemently than most people.

    His socks are wet, he’s sweating through his clothes, his phone has no reception, and to top it all off, his boat is sinking.

    Summary

    Childe likes to keep it a secret from his family that he's part of the Fatui, and especially that he's a Harbinger, but that's pretty difficult when your overprotective and way too cheery older brother is also a member of the Fatui.

    (Childe's older brother Nikita has no idea Ajax is a Fatui Harbinger, and Childe and Scaramouche do their best to keep it a secret from him)

    Summary

    “I like you,” he says and Scaramouche just breathes. “You're really pretty.”

    “You don't really know me that well, do you?” he muses and smiles a little. “A mysterious foreign exchange student. Who’s to say I'm not dangerous? Maybe I've manipulated you.”

    He smiles the entire time as he says it though, not wanting Sethos to think it might be true. It could be, but it isn't. Sethos smiles back.

    “Then I wouldn't care. I’d let myself get manipulated.”

    “Oh yeah?”

    “Yeah,” he breathes and he's looking down at Scaramouche’s lips.

    “That's not very smart,” he whispers and watches, almost in slow motion, as Sethos reaches out a hand and brushes his fingers against Scaramouche’s cheekbone. His fingers are warm in the chilly night.

    “I know,” he breathes. “I'm a little bit dumb.”

    Scaramouche learns how to let go.

    Summary

    Not even a single Aranara dared to sneak a peek. He wondered if they were even watching—they always were. And that night, particularly, must have been a feast for their curious minds; for Wanderer, despite his name, was not one to wander aimlessly throughout the forest in the middle of the night. Even now, he had a destination, one that he dreaded deeply, aware that one of his deepest fears was out there, hiding amidst the vegetation, waiting to be confronted. He was aware that something was bound to change once he found it—perhaps he would meet his ending. Maybe he wanted that. At this point, he wasn’t too sure.

    He did know, however, that if this fear of his demanded a claim on his life, then he would hand it over without hesitation. He’d expose his chest and bow his head to the ground, and bleed his sins out, one by one, until his victims got their retribution.

    Or

    Kazuha goes missing in Port Ormos and Wanderer meets the last descendant of the clan he destroyed under very unexpected circumstances.

    "Have we met before?"

    He doesn't know why he asks that. The boy's face is impossibly symmetrical, skin inhumanely pale, cheekbones, lips.. Childe can't help but think he really is so beautiful.

    Summary

    She breaks him gently, the way she does everything.
    "Don't you think it's time you moved on, Wanderer?" she asks, casually, innocently. "I have no need for you anymore."

    The Wanderer is shattered by Nahida's sudden rejection. It tears too deeply at old wounds for him to question whether something more is going on. Unexpectedly, it's another Dendro girl who helps get him back on his feet- hopefully in time to realize Nahida needs saving, too.

    Summary

    “You don’t dream,” Albedo says.
    “No,” Kunikuzushi replies. “But I remember.”
    -
    Kunikuzushi was meant to die a long time ago. 
Instead, they rebuilt him: mind in metal, purpose redefined. Now he’s a tool. A technician. A relic of rebellion punished into obedience.

    Albedo is a reprintable clone: beautiful, brilliant, and completely replaceable. They’re sent on expeditions together— one to die, the other to remember.

    They weren’t built to love. But they do.

    A story about two not-quite-people learning to live anyway. 
About rebellion. About autonomy, and agency. About choosing love when you were built to obey.

    Summary

    Everything began falling apart... But it wasn't entirely his fault.

    Sure, he might have lied to everyone. Led some to believe something that wasn't entirely true, let others believe something different, gave everyone a specially constructed story just for them.

    He didn't cause it directly, though. He just went along with what they said.
    And they said that he was a boy. So what if he actually wasn't?

    Because he wasn't...
    Right?

    Summary

    "Hey, you were–"

    He pulls himself up off Mona's couch, wiping away the water of Tatarasuna's beaches from his eyes.

    "It happens," he says.

    Mona raises an eyebrow, but doesn't say anything, instead turning back to her kitchen table.

    "I made breakfast," she says. "There's enough for you, if you want."

    She's a very reasonable girl, despite her calling. She's got a sense of tact he wishes more people possessed.

    He decides that he quite likes her.

    Summary

    On the eighth day after his awakening, she visits him in person, finding him curled up on the divan like a pill bug. His hair spills over his face and shadows his eyes, but she can tell from the way his bare feet brace against the mattress beneath him that he’s awake. It makes the ball joints in his ankles, already visible through skin torn and pared down to the metaphorical bone, all the more prominent.

    He doesn’t need to eat; Nahida brings him food anyway. He doesn’t move as she draws near, though she’s certain he hears her. In the dimness of the cell, the violet streaks in his hair seem almost to glow. Below them, the mitsudomoe symbol stamped into the back of his neck stands stark against his flesh—an indelible reminder of his artificiality.

    ———

    In the aftermath of Shouki no Kami’s fall, Nahida chooses to pick up the pieces.

    Summary

    Scaramouche supposed that a puppet bereft of its strings was never meant to last.

    With nowhere else to turn, Scaramouche seeks the help of Mondstadt's Chief Alchemist and hopes he can be cured of his ailment before Albedo discovers he's a Harbinger.


    "It is a shame that Barbatos did not find you first," Albedo thought aloud and Scaramouche tensed all over, bristling at the perceived insult to his Archon. Before he could retort, however, Albedo continued, "You could have been under freedom instead of servitude."

    And Scaramouche didn't know what to say to that.

    Summary

    Nahida thought her growth would be slow. She expected it to be a gradual sort of thing, taking place over centuries. But in the months and years after her escape, Nahida shoots up like a plant moved from shade to light.

    Nahida photosynthesizes, grows from a sprout to a sapling, destroys a building, initiates an accidental mind-meld, and begins to come to terms with the five hundred years that were taken from her, roughly in that order.
