Summary
Building a new house, the wanderer finds, is very much like rebuilding a life. It is far harder and slower than destroying one. He has no idea where to start, and he can't do it by himself.

Summary
Scaramouche has worked as a book clerk for a couple of years now. The store he owned was next to a vacant lot that had been that way since he opened up shop. He didn’t mind it since it meant work was quiet and he didn’t have to deal with any annoying neighbors.
However, that all changed when that empty building was finally bought. Scaramouche didn’t realize how much he was going to dread the person moving in until he found out that the person who bought the lot was opening a cake shop. A shop filled with sickeningly sweet treats and tooth-rotting filth was going to be right next to him. Even though he hates sweets he hates the guy who owns it more. He constantly tries to bombard him with new desserts that he would rather choke on than enjoy.
Scaramouche would avoid ever talking to the guy if he didn’t keep checking out books and then refusing to return them until he went over to get them back. He doesn’t want to form a friendship and he definitely doesn’t want to eat the food he brings him but the boy refuses to give up until he wins him over. As he says…it’s just a matter of time before he falls victim to his charming smile.

Summary
“Well…” Durin lowered his voice. It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Hat Guy — far from it, the scholar was one of his closest companions — but this felt more… personal to him and Albedo. “I guess I’m wondering what Durin was like. You know. The one before me.”
It was only for the briefest of moments, but Durin caught the way Albedo’s eyes narrowed. Then he sighed and patted the ground next to him. “Sit.”
—
the celebration of durin’s newly-achieved permanence is cut short by a freak avalanche that traps the little dragon and his brothers in albedo’s mountain camp with no way to contact the outside world or find out if help is coming.
meanwhile, durin starts having strange dreams, albedo grows more distant by the day, and hat guy is threatening an international incident.

Summary
“What are you saying?! Has the imprisonment in Aaru made you completely mad?!” Sobek stared at his friend in disbelief.
“I just find it curious. Are we sure this man is simply an attendant to the leader of the Temple of Silence?”
Thoth was quiet throughout the whole exchange, almost as if lost in thought. Heryshaf’s question finally triggered him to speak. “You might be right. No mere attendants, even among mortals, act like this around their superiors. Surely they would have more respect, even in this day and age.”
“Then this must mean that man is more than just an attendant.” Thoth suddenly let out a gasp. “Perhaps he is the little fledgling’s consort!”
“I must say, Hermanubis’s heir has a poor taste in consorts, if that’s true.” Sobek crossed his arms. “He looks nothing special. Not even a Tighnarian! So unbecoming for the former vessel of Hermanubis.”
“Like I said, we should refrain from placing judgements just yet. Especially if the Dendro Archon and the leader of the Temple of Silence seem to treat him so highly.”
The Three Kings “help” Sethos court Wanderer, with mixed results…

Summary
Durin gets pulled into a strange Ley Line anomaly and wakes up alone in a Teyvat he doesn’t recognize. He meets Scaramouche, thinking that it’s just some strange alternate timeline where Hat Guy is a Fatui Harbinger, but it’s only a matter of time before he learns that he’s actually been pulled into a past that the world should have forgotten.
He also ends up joining the Fatui, somehow, but that’s neither here nor there. The important part is that he needs the help of both Scaramouche and the Albedo of the past to help him solve his Ley Line problem… if he can get them to work together, that is.
