    Summary

    “Of course. I’m afraid Topaz and I will need your help to — oh, nevermind, he’s coming over. Topaz, watch out.”

    “Is that Stelle?” Aventurine’s voice sounds out, bleary and slightly distant — then there’s rustling, a thump, an indignant hey! in what sounds suspiciously like Topaz’s voice, before Aventurine is speaking again, likely holding the phone from how much clearer he sounds.

    “Steeellllleee,” he drags the word out as it tumbles into a long, slurring laugh. Somewhere nearby, Ratio groans. “How’s it going, sweetheart?”

    (Stelle is given the task of lugging a not-very-sober businessman back home. At least he's cooperative about it.)

    Summary

    Then, as her consciousness began to darken, his promise echoed from deep within:

    “If you awake to a knife at your throat. If monsters dig their claws into you. If death comes knocking at your door. Call out my name, Adeptus Xiao. I will be here when you call.”

    She gripped that promise like a lifeline, her final and only hope, and focused the last dredges of her strength to call out.
    “...Xi..ao!”

    When an assisination attempt leaves Lumine struggling to keep her sanity and life, Xiao decides to enter her unconscious mind to help her fight the nightmares within.

    Summary

    Mondstadt has a little fairy tale: Every night, the Dandelion Bearers put mortals to sleep by blowing dandelion seeds at them.

    Is it just a fairy tale, though? Venti, the most powerful Dandelion Bearer, would beg to differ. But should mortals discover the reality of faeries, disaster would be almost certain.

    So when someone in the city suffers from unbearable insomnia, he has to lull her to sleep without getting caught. Never mind that she might steal his heart…

    (Four nights Lumine suffers from insomnia, and the one night she doesn’t)

    Summary

    'Peace, Friend,' Nameless smiled, laying a hand on his tiny cheek. 'You'll get the hang of it.'

    ‘I miss legs. And arms. And limbs.’ The tiny sprite wiggled around before slumping over Nameless’ shoulder. ‘I think I’ll just lay here. Forever. Probably perish.’

    ‘Please do not, Friend.’

    ‘Ugh. I hate this body.’
