Summary
“So, like,” Stelle says as they start hiking to the next checkpoint. He’s getting a bad feeling about this. “Are you Bailu’s dad?”
Dan Heng pulls himself out of the snow drift he fell into, coughing and sputtering. Dusting snow off of his coat, he glares at the hysterically laughing Stelle. “Of course not! Stop being ridiculous.”
“Are you sure? Or is this another ‘Dan Feng is her dad and I’m not him’ situation?” Stelle pulls herself together, but just barely. “You were talking about all that stuff about the old Imbibitor Lunae and his sin and breaking the cycle of reincarnation and stuff so I kind of figured…”
“You figured wrong.” Dan Heng snaps. “Besides, Vidyadhara reincarnate. We can’t bear children.”
“Believe me, I’ve heard plenty about your infertility,” Stelle rolls her eyes. What does she mean by that? “But you’re still Bailu’s dad, I think.”
Bailu stows away on the Astral Express. They take the long way back to the Luofu.

Summary
“I told you before,” says Yao Guang. She grabs the unfinished crepe from his hand and boldly takes a bite from it – his wings flap helplessly at her forwardness. The General is certainly a character. “I saw how much you wanted the mask. I only served to fulfill your wish.”
“No other reason? Truly?”
There’s a winning glint in her eye that enthralls him more than he cares to admit. “Want to use your tuning and find out?”
Yao Guang and Sunday have a talk about each other and the Phantasmoon Games.

Summary
In the wake of the battle with Phantylia and the tension of the Stellaron Crisis, the Loufu is left to wade through the wreckage as the dust clears.
The Xianzhou Alliance is nothing, if not resilient. Just as their Arbiter-Generals are.
However, even Emanators bleed, and one does not simply bounce back after nearly being turned into a void ranger.
Can the Loufu begin to repair when its Dosing General is in no state to command its helm?
Or--
Post-Phantylia battle where Jing Yuan is going through it and so is his little swallow.

When a Lion Makes a Nest For a Swallow by MageWriterSola
Fandoms: 崩坏：星穹铁道 | Honkai: Star Rail (Video Game)
06 Aug 2025

Summary
Jing Yuan, the 'Dozing General', the Lion of Loufu, one of seven Arbiter-Generals that defend the Xianzhou Alliance with life and limb.
Everyone praised him for his service, or scorned him for his decisions.
But glories came and went, as did opinions and connections and all the other messy bits of life.
Such was the way of the Xianzhou, the curse of Long-Life species.
It didn't mean it made being left behind any easier to bare.
Or time less heavy to carry on one's long tired shoulders.
And Aeons, was he tired.
So very tired.
But who would have thought stumbling upon a ray of sunshine, a seed blooming in the heart of a desolate battlefield, the weary lion might actually find something worth living for.
If only to keep the light ever burning.
--OR!--
Jing Yuan becomes a father and experiences all the wonders and chaos that comes alongside it.
Also Featuring:
Band AU!: Where The High Cloud Quintet is a famous band and they raise Yanqing together.
What If AU!: Where the High Cloud Quintet survived. The Sedition didn't happen. And now these five Xianzhou Legends are raising a little golden haired swallow.

Summary
“This,” says Teng Xiao, attempting to rest a hand on the child's shoulder, who sidesteps the gesture with remarkable ease, “is Yanqing. He walked into the Seat of Divine Foresight an hour ago demanding to talk to the Arbiter-General.”
Jing Yuan waits for him to continue, and they stand in an awkward silence for a moment as he realises that is the end of the statement. “Was he unhappy with your service?” Jing Yuan inclines, holding his hands behind his back and fiddling with his fingers.
Teng Xiao brings up a hand to pinch the bridge of his nose in a bizarre gesture of discomfort, and sighs. “No. For some reason, he believes that you are the current Arbiter-General of the Luofu.”

Summary
Completely unaware of each other's identities, an assassin and a spy build a home together under the guise of convenience.
Sometimes she returned home with well-concealed injuries. The subtle limp of her leg. The way she would sometimes struggle to reach things on the top shelf—things she had never struggled to reach before. More opaque layers of foundation and concealer. Nothing ever got past him.
He wished he could kill anyone who had ever put their hands on her, patient or not. He knew it was irrational of him, but one night, when Kafka came home with a broken arm, Ren saw red and wanted nothing more than to close the distance between them and ask, “Who did this to you?”
A part of him had a hunch that it wasn’t just “patients” who put her in harm's way, but he never acted on his suspicions. She respected him and his secrets. It was only fair that he returned the courtesy.

Wait for the Stars to Catch Your Wishes by TheAnxiousCamel

Summary
A conclusion is rising in Kafka’s mind, and she hates it with every fibre of her being.
“Elio,” Kafka almost growls, “what is happening here?”
“Isn’t it obvious?” her superior drawls, “they’re creating receptacles. Children who can host the Stellaron.”
Stelle and Caelus escape the life they were born into and fall into another one entirely. Kafka can be trusted. They think.
Or alternatively, the author wondered why Stelle has a pale blue band around her leg and thought up an entire fic based on the concept.
[ON HIATUS UNTIL SUMMER 2026. Thank you all for being so patient!!]

Summary
Death, death, death, is he searching for nothing more than a ghost?
That same animal sound of grief rises in his throat, bubbles up behind his tongue. Now the man before him looks distressed, reaching out for him with a hand. Dan Heng shrinks away.
"Where is she?" Dan Heng says. It comes out as a sob. "Is she dead?"
"Who?" asks the unfamiliar man, his voice infinitely gentle.
Dan Heng wakes up from a nightmare, and can't see the person he's supposed to be finding.

Summary
"The Blemished One and their pawns are on the move. We were tracking their movements just the other day."
He has no words for that. Truthfully, Jiaoqiu knows that they will be thrust into war in as soon as five years' time — it is written in the fates, the very stars.
That small war medic inside of him remembers war better than he remembers the face of his own mother.
Jiaoqiu and Feixiao talk about the prospect of an Aeonic war.

Summary
"The beach?" Blade asks, when Kafka suggests the idea. "We have a dangerous mission coming up. Are you sure you want to go?"
"Wolfie and Stelle want to attend an open-air gaming convention nearby," Kafka smiles. "And Caelus wants to wrestle a shark."
Blade rolls his eyes, and dutifully packs lunch for them all. Maybe they can buy rock candy from a stall somewhere — Kafka enjoys that. She also enjoys throwing food near the seating area to entice the seagulls into a chaotic frenzy, laughing maniacally all the while. They've been banned from at least six beaches that way.
"What about Elio?" he asks.
"Oh? He's coming of course," Kafka grins. "It was his idea."
The Stellaron Hunters drag Elio into all their shenanigans, and like any dutiful leader, he obliges.

Summary
One day, Topaz comes in with a white-haired girl tagging along behind her, and the first thing Aventurine says is, “there’s no way you could have had a kid since the last time I saw you.”
aka, the one where Aventurine is finally sort-of settling into his 'new' life, except there are café shenanigans, (kinda?)lovers'-tiffs, a child who needs him, maybe a little bit more trauma to unpack, and a whole two-persons' worth of memories for him to sift through - not necessarily in that order.
~~~
A collection of stories covering Aventurine's life after, and sometimes 'before', the events in Strangers in the Night.

Strangers in the Night by veris_militude (semblanceoflife)
Fandoms: 崩坏：星穹铁道 | Honkai: Star Rail (Video Game)
28 Jul 2024

Summary
Aventurine makes it out of the abyss - and into a different world. Things are different here - simpler. There are no Aeons, no intergalactic factions and corporations, no Paths and Blessings. He is not naïve enough to assume that there is no cruelty and discrimination here - for there always is - but for the most part, everything is peaceful.
Here, Aventurine's priorities are getting people's coffee orders right. Fairly straight forward, if you ask him.
Except for the bit where he is surrounded by too many familiar faces, and they remind him of a place he can no longer return to. That's okay. People come and go, and so will they.
Except for the bit where they come and go and come back.
AKA. Aventurine gets dropped into a coffee-shop AU with all the memories from before. He's handling things until he's not handling things. That's okay, because he still has friends (and Dr Ratio) in this world. He just doesn't know it yet.

Summary
Apocalypse: Star Rail might be the worst game Dr. Veritas Ratio has ever played. In what world is murdering half the known universe for no reason even remotely reasonable? What kind of game kills off its most compelling characters just for shock value?
Also, why is he now in the game — and as a damn NPC, out of all things?
【 Activation Code: “Moronic developers, moronic game.” It is our sincere wish that during your time, you can fulfill your desires and, in accordance with your wish, transform a piece of moronic work into a magnificent, high-quality, first-rate classic. Bound Role: Unnamed male NPC of the Veritas Prime star system, age 0. 】
【 Congratulations! Welcome to Apocalypse: Star Rail, version ██! 】
Well. If these idiot developers can’t take constructive criticism, Veritas might as well construct the criticism himself… by forcibly inserting himself into a plot where he’s never existed.

Summary
Three brush strokes to the right. Two to the left. A hand smoothing over his forehead, sweeping his bangs aside.
Shadow Milk knows the pattern well. His hair is always brushed the same way, in movements that seem almost robotic in how perfectly they’ve mastered the repetition. The bristles of the brush always skim over his closed eyes with such care, nimbly avoiding anywhere they might prick or poke. It always ends with a few final touches, tucking any stray wisps back into place before the brush is set back down on the dresser before him.
Pure Vanilla’s hands smooth through Shadow Milk’s hair, coming to rest gently on his shoulders.
“There. Ready for the day?”
Shadow Milk does not answer.
Shadow Milk has not answered in a long, long time.

Summary
Sunday leaves the party car to the sound of raucous laughter. Game nights have been commonplace for as long as he’s accompanied the Express members on their journey, and like a destiny he has no power to resist, they’ve folded him into them with little trouble. It’s… nice, if not sometimes overwhelming. He’s not used to it.
He steps into the bathroom, closing the door behind him. It will be fine. He just needs a minute to compose himself.
“Maybe this would be easier if you’d stop acting like it’d kill you to relax every once in a while. Crack a joke or something.”Sunday takes a break.

“It’s her army of infinite alts,” Stelle grits, still furiously button-mashing. “She’s making new ones and adding them to the team faster than I can destroy her plebs! March, you have to keep pulling,” they groan.
“I’m trying!” March says, tapping away at her own phone. “I have to go do a quest or I’m gonna run out of wishes soon!”
“Is it also a gacha game?” Sunday asks, entirely lost.
“Yes,” Dan Heng answers, a soul-weariness to it. “Don’t ask anything else.”March and Stelle drag Sunday into their game, for better or for worse.

Summary
The inside of the Astral Express is warm, cozy, done in a style he's heard was touted for its modernity an Aeon's lifetime ago. The entire crew is present: Dan Heng all the way in the back, March 7th, springing up from her seat beside Stelle, Mr. Welt, serving as a barrier between him and the younger members, and Ms. Himeko, taking a step forward to capture his attention.
“Mr. Sunday,” she says, diplomacy wrapped tightly around her voice. “Welcome aboard the Astral Express.”
“A pleasure,” he responds, fully intending to match her honeyed word for honeyed word. “I suppose this arrangement is your doing?”
“A joint effort,” she smiles. “As partial shareholders in Penacony, we've been working with both the Family and the IPC to ensure its smooth management. We've agreed to take you on.”Sunday is transferred into the Astral Express' custody. He assumes he's changing wardens. The crew is determined to be much more than just that.

Summary
Flins' life is a simple one. He works, he relaxes, he shops for antiques.
Life, however, is a funny thing. Just when he thinks he's found his peace, the universe sends something to uproot it.
That something comes in the form of a very small, very cute package, one with pink hair, round eyes, and a mind too sharp for her own good.
Or: Flins adopts Aino. Family is found.
The girl is small. So small.
Her cries are weak, and her movements are frail, hampered by a blanket that is far too big. The tiniest tuft of pale pink hair adorns the top of her fragile head, smoothed over by a hand that is nearly half her size…
…He isn't sure what emotion he feels as he smiles down at her.
This child.
This little light.
