    Summary

    "I know you gave me your word on the Luofu to accompany me to the end, but I won't hold you to a promise that was made on a whim", he turned around to Dan Heng, "I could tell that you weren't fully aware what you were promising."

    "And if I said I was fully aware and that I would like to keep that promise, would you still refuse?"

    "Yes."

    Summary

    Dan Heng kneels in front of him. There’s a hint of worry in his eyes as he starts peeling off the bandages, revealing what Blade does not want to be seen. Beneath the stained dressing, marred skin and bruises and wounds from early battles tell a story of wartimes. Blade can only tell when and how he got the newest ones; the oldest, though, have been a part of him for too long already. A blade can be repaired, but it can never return to its original state; it will always become a new sword, a new spear, one born from another weapon that had fought for too long.

    Blade doesn’t look at his own skin. Instead, he watches Dan Heng’s reaction. The other man carefully looks at Blade’s torso, his face twisting at times, but never daring to raise his eyes. Some of these scars, Blade remembers, were made by him. He has imprinted himself onto Blade’s body by plunging Cloud Piercer into his heart. That’s why Blade didn’t want him to look at the current state of his skin. Old wounds can still be reopened.

    In which Dan Heng changes Blade’s bandages and Blade relearns how it feels to be touched.

    Summary

    “You chased me around the universe to ensure I paid the price.”

    Blade turns his face away, finding that the fire burning in Dan Heng’s eyes is too much, even for him. A cold gaze, after all, will always burn the brightest.

    “And now,” Dan Heng’s voice trembles, one breath away from anger. “You’re telling me to stay back?”

    --

    Blade feels that there's no need to drag anyone else into his end. Dan Heng disagrees. Contains spoilers for Version 4.3.

    Summary

    This time, it's Blade's turn to stare at Dan Heng. The moonlight suits him better than it does Blade, but it betrays Dan Heng and brings only more focus on the frown on his lips, the furrow of his eyebrows. That troubled look—he's been wearing it since he came here. "Speak your mind, Dan Heng. We have no need for secrecy between us anymore."

    Before Blade's funeral, Dan Heng wants to say farewell.

    Summary

    Saving Sumeru together may have repaired many of the long-standing fractures in Kaveh and Alhaitham's relationship.

    ... Sadly, it did nothing to cure Kaveh's terminal obliviousness.

    “One - one more time?!”

    Alhaitham huffed softly through his nose. “Kaveh. I’m in love with you.”

    Kaveh’s hands shot upward to grasp tightly at his wrists, keeping Alhaitham’s palms pressed against his face like the contact would re-ground him in reality. “I must be going crazy. I’m hearing things...”

    With a slow, long-suffering sigh, Alhaitham shut his eyes briefly with exasperation. Then, finally giving in to the fact that Kaveh was simultaneously the smartest - and most idiotic - man he’d ever met, he leaned forward and dipped his forehead to rest against his.

    “Let me clarify another way, then,” Alhaitham breathed, nudging their noses together gently.

High Elder Dan Feng tried to cut himself free of the cycle of Vidyadhara rebirths and reincarnated in another world as the human Dan Heng.... only to die and be brought right back into his old body. His human memories are fresher than any of his draconic lives, and to make matters worse, that stint in the other world brought him in contact with the Stellaron Hunters book series, which seems to predict his future. How is it fair that he will be the one to betray his favorite character? What even is this Sedition business? He never got to read the backstory volume!!

    Summary

    " Blade gives him a single glance before he goes back to picking up the fragments to pile onto a dustpan. Dan Heng almost leaves. Almost. What catches his eyes is the way Blade’s bandaged hands tremble as he slowly picks up glass, dropping each piece with a clink.

    Dan Heng stands in the door, thinking maybe the trembling would pass. It doesn’t. In fact, it gets worse with each movement. "

    In which Dan Heng discovers exactly how mara affects Blade...and he does something about it.

    Summary

    Alarm overtook Kaveh’s expression as he looked back and forth between Alhaitham and the matra, dropping his sketchpad and leaping to his feet. “Why is there a guard here? Did you get hurt?”

    “Some idiot decided poisoning me to obtain state secrets would be an optimal use of a Tuesday morning,” Alhaitham replied with a deep sigh.

    Kaveh’s hands hovered uselessly in the air for a few moments as he stared at Alhaitham. “I’m sorry, what?”

    Leaning back against the wall, Alhaitham let out a weary exhale. “Truth serum,” he said tiredly, raking his fingers through his hair then dropping his hand down to rub his throat. “I can’t lie.”

    Kaveh’s eyes widened. “Oh my gods. Are you - are you okay?” Hurrying forward, Kaveh - with his blessedly fully covered legs - guided Alhaitham onto the divan, hands steady despite the panic in his voice.

    “I don’t know. I’m just glad you’re wearing pants,” was all Alhaitham managed to answer.

    Summary

    “This is not an invitation to spoil me,” Albedo says through a bite, a hand over his mouth. “As you have with Klee.”

    “I have no idea what you are talking about," Kaeya laughs. “Although… would it really be that bad, if I wanted to take care of you?”

    (Or: When Sucrose mentions that she's been worried about Albedo and his constant cases of zoning out, Kaeya takes it upon himself to investigate the situation.)

    Summary

    "I wonder when you'll tell me something that has an ending, Sir Flins," Illuga remembered grumbling.

    "Master Illuga," Flins had said, melancholy lacing his honeyed words, "the day I tell you a story with an ending..."

    Illuga's heart dropped to his gut.

    The day that happened...would be the day they stop meeting. For one reason or another.

    (Or, the moment Flins and Illuga met after defeating Dottore and before the League meeting.)

    Summary

    “I shouldn’t pry into your business,” Illuga says. “I only asked because I was thinking about something you said in Nasha Town. You said your friends don’t understand your habits.”

    “I detect an unasked question. Would you like to know if I consider us friends? Or perhaps what kind of strange habits I was talking about? Frankly, young master, my private affairs are none of—”

    “I am not asking about your private affairs,” Illuga interrupts, looking at the ground. “And I wasn’t asking if you consider us friends, either. I suppose I wanted to know if that was why you spend all your time at the Final Night Cemetery, instead of with the rest of the Lightkeepers.” 

    A normal afternoon with two normal Lightkeepers.

    Summary

    “Sir, kindly do not obstruct us,” says the matra sharply. “We are in the midst of carrying out an arrest.”

    “An arrest?” repeats Kaveh, incredulously. “You’re arresting him? You’re arresting him? Why, what in Teyvat has he done?”

     

    The Archon Rescue Operation is going as smoothly as it possibly can — that is, until Kaveh returns prematurely from his desert trip, and runs into Alhaitham at the absolute worst possible moment.

    Of course he would.

    Summary

    A series of strange events has begun to enter Illuga's life, and a certain Ratnik takes it upon himself to guard the human that's dear to him, but not without having his fair share of mischief!

    “Illuga, I don’t think you need to wear the nails anymore.” His father starts one day as they were eating dinner, placing his fork to the side of his plate. “Or placing salt on the windowsill, and you can take down the horseshoe by your door.”

    “I thought the nails were for The Wild Hunt.”

    “It turned out to be a bit more of a hassle when—er—Rolf scratched himself with it.”

    “Oh dear…is he alright?”

    “Nothing major—just—take off all of that stuff.”

    “Don’t do that again,” Illuga whispered, his voice soft and silky amidst the golden glow of the flames, warmed up by them, sluggish and tinted with the sweet embrace of sleep. “Just, ask for help, next time.” And even quieter, uttered so achingly soft; please.

    For a man raised to want nothing, Flins finds himself wanting Illuga’s company far too easily. A shared gift, a shared night, and the quiet understanding that neither of them is as untouched as they pretend.

    Summary

    Flins's self-imposed isolation once led Illuga to assume a distaste for social obligations, perhaps to avoid small talk with his peers. Far from it. Once the man got going, he never quite stopped. Plenty of late nights by the lighthouse can attest to that.

    ---

    Flins is a mystery Illuga has yet to figure out. He'd like to.
