    Summary

    On the mattress, lined up in a neat little row, are the spoils of Flins’ labor. A strip of silk Liyuen cloth. A length of crimson corded rope from Inazuma. A strange curved device of Fontanian make, and its controller to match. An alchemical brew, concocted in the heart of Mondstadt’s finest laboratories, designed to heighten sensitivity.

    “I was hoping,” Flins says languidly as he looks into Varka’s slowly widening eyes, “that we could make good use of them tonight.”

    Tired of Varka's constant fussing and coddling in bed, Flins finds a new way to spice things up for the night.

    Summary

    “I don’t hate kids,” says Lohen.

    Varka trips a little. “What was that?”

    Lohen responds by sinking further into Varka’s chest, enveloped by his heartbeat and expanding-retracting lungs. “They’re, just… loud. And needy.”

    Varka snorts. “I’d have thought that would give you some common ground with ‘em.”

    Lohen wants to pinch him, but his arm won’t move.

    “And maybe you’ve got that much in common with Mondstadt, too,” says Varka, “because we need you. So you have to survive this, alright?”

    Lohen doesn’t actually want to die, he just really, really, really wants his subordinates to live. Sometimes that means standing between them and a heaving, snarling beast and letting it do its thing.

    Summary

    Varka felt his jaw tighten, but he buried the reaction before it could reach his face.

    “Here is what is going to happen,” he said, keeping his voice calm and level. “I am going to set you down, and you are not going to stab me.”

    The boy stared at him.

    Varka waited.

    The boy continued staring, darker and harder this time, as though silence itself had been sharpened into a weapon.

    Varka exhaled through his nose. “That was the part where you agreed.”

    No agreement came.

    Of course it didn’t.

    Varka glanced briefly toward the starsilver shard, then back to the boy’s face. “Fine. Since we are negotiating in silence, I will take anything that is not immediate violence as a tentative yes.”

    The boy’s eyes narrowed by a fraction.

    “Good enough.”

    Or:

    Varka finds a mint-green murder bunny abandoned on Dragonspine and, against all common sense, decides to adopt him.

    NB: Only Lohen is younger than in canon here. This is purely for plot reasons. By plot, I mean I like the thought of all the knights trying to rein in one feral gremlin.

    Summary

    In this area, belonging to the fae has recently come to be considered a curse.

    What even is there to say about being a half-breed? Kyryll was always considered an outcast by both his own kin and the humans.

    Maybe that's why he agreed to such a dangerous task. To kill the source of their despair. No, to gain his freedom finally or to die from the hands of the viking's king. All the same, both paths suited him equally.

    And maybe, just maybe, if Kyryll would manage to find home in the cruel rays of sunshine, that cursed life of his would finally gain meaning.

    Summary

    “I just don’t get it,” he huffs to Will as they put up holiday decorations in the unusually quiet infirmary, “they talk to me like I’m supposed to know stuff. Like I’m the new Percy or something.”

    Nico expects Will to laugh at this, shrug off his concerns as unfounded and tell him he’s being over-dramatic like usual.

    He is wrong.

    “Okay, babe, don’t take this the wrong way. But, you kind of are the new Percy.”

    ___
    Based on a tumblr post I made about Nico being the obvious choice as Camp Half-Blood's unofficial leader when Percy leaves for college. (only no one bothers to tell Nico that)
