    Summary

    “I am not a ‘kid’,” the boy spits, drawing himself up to his full height of whatever feet and nothing inches. “The name given to me is Xiao, though some mortals know me better as the Conqueror of Demons—” he throws his head back defiantly, which is adorable, “—I am a yaksha in the eternal service of the people of Liyue, favoured by Rex Lapis, not some glorified troubadour.”

    Verr blinks.

    “Wow you’re... you’re an insane person, aren’t you?” She says.

    Verr Goldet has run the Wangshu Inn alongside her husband for almost a decade. Their oldest patron insists he was there first.

    Or, the building of a sanctuary. Told in olive branches refused, taken, and freely given.

    Summary

    The whole sordid affair is March 7th’s idea, but Himeko’s the one who goes and buys the chicken. “You did want a raw one, right? I figured it’d be a little macabre to get a cooked one. We’re not cremating it, anyway.”
    “Please, please stop talking,” says Mr. Yang, as March shrieks and runs away yelling about how gross it is. “How about we stop dripping raw chicken juices over the carpet before Pom-Pom starts lecturing us.”

    Dan Feng never got a funeral. A lot of people never got closure. The Astral Express crew attempt to remedy this, in their own way.

    Summary

    Phainon and Mydei lead ordinary lives, navigating work, flirtations, and everything in between—except one thing: neither knows the other’s secret identity.

    While Phainon’s got his hands full being a charismatic university professor by day and a notorious anti-hero by night, Mydei’s just trying to keep his cool as a librarian while moonlighting as a vigilante.

    They’re together, they’re happy, and the whole secret identity thing? No big deal.

    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.

    (aka, wanderer + collei bonding while i put him and nahida through the wringer)

    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.
