Two Knights, a Fae, and one eager Ratnik by BunnyDayz

Summary
Illuga stumbles upon Flins, Varka, and Vice Captain Lohen playing strip poker and decides he very much likes to join their little game.
“What are you scheming?” Varka says, and Illuga jolts back, his heart nearly jumping out of his chest until he realizes the Grand Master's words were addressed to his Vice Captain and not to him, lurking in the hallway and spying on their game.
“Aww, you hurt me. I never scheme, I demand what I crave. Speaking of, why didn’t we invite little Birdie to play?” Lohen asks.
Flins hums before playing his card. “Our young Master is not one to dabble in such crude games.”
“Says who?!” Lohen voices Illuga’s exact thoughts.
Illuga has half a mind to step in and berate the stubborn man about the probability of him doing the exact opposite of what he thinks, but the moment is gone, so he remains standing cowardly in the empty hallway, not daring to enter nor able to leave.Series

Summary
“Uh, Thrain… How old do you think I am?”
The question gives the Harbinger pause. In the world of Teyvat, it isn’t uncommon to see someone live a long life without having physically aged at all. It’s especially difficult to predict a range in a region like Natlan, whose unique Ley Lines have given many more animalistic quirks to their appearances, skewing the aging process even more.
But Ororon means something to him. He’s been saved by him, labored, drank, protected, and fought at his side. The Captain has spent countless nights since their meeting in a cycle of yearning and chastising himself, because it’s unbecoming that five centuries of celibacy can be tossed aside for a young farm boy.
“About twenty… Two?”
...
“Actually, you’re not that far off… Well, in a way.. Just add one before the twenty-two.”
One before the twenty-two?
“You’re… A hundred and twenty-two?”
Ororon nods.
(TLDR): Ororon confesses his love to Capitano, but when the Harbinger tries to reject him because of his age, he finds out that Ororon is a true-to-life vampire that has been alive for over a hundred years, who absorbs the lifespans of those he drinks from.

Dates with Lohen are fun and have their own particular charm. Sometimes Illuga even ends up at the closest medic!
“So you did that to distract me from—OW!”
He yelps at the feeling of sharp needle being jabbed into his thigh. Lohen injects something into him, and when he’s done the needle is extracted just as quick.
“What the fuck,” Illuga yells. “Isn’t this against your Knightly Oath?!”Bookmarked by whatwaitwhy

Summary
"Sir Varka," how Flins can say a simple name with such melancholy, Varka will never understand. "Could I trouble you to return my lantern to the Cemetery? It's easier than having to carry me."
Flins lifts his lantern. The flames inside are dulled slightly, but the sight is so familiar it manages to put Varka at ease. He finds himself reaching for it without really meaning to.
Then, as Varka's fingers wrap around the metal casing, Flins simply… dissolves.Bookmarked by whatwaitwhy

Summary
“But first, answer me, young master. You’re an augury bird, correct?”
“Yeah!” The young man smiles shyly. “But I warn you: I can’t predict your future. I only know events that will happen to me.”
“And how is it? your future.”
The young man falls silent, lowering his eyes, framed by long light lashes. His wings flutter.
“...I will meet a wonderful person with whom I will walk until the end of my life... But that won’t happen until the next millennium. In about six hundred years...?”
“Well then,” Flins says with that light smile behind which he hides everything he is not supposed to show. “I wish for those six hundred years to pass unnoticed for you, like a free wind across the fields.”
The augury bird predicts a happy future, linking two destinies.

Illuga is happy.
He's healthy.
He's fine.
Until he isn't anymore.
Things start getting out of hand, and with the whole Rerir business it takes everyone a hot minute to notice that he's slipping away into a much darker place.
And Celestia be damned if they're gonna let that happen.
Yeah so-
Iluga's depressed and that makes Flins depressed but hey I have you some comfort too.

Summary
Fear. Desperation. Panic. All squashed together into something that neither Flins nor Illuga seem to be able to control.
Illuga is sobbing, gasping for breath, and trembling while whispering 'please' and 'no' in a broken, hopeless way that Flins suspects will haunt him for the rest of his life.
Illuga has a panic attack and Flins does his best to make him feel better
TW for the panic attack and being passively suicidal

Summary
“Varka?” Lohen asked quietly, surprised.
Varka pressed his face into the crook of Lohen's neck and kissed his pulse point gently. “Will you let me do this?” he questioned. “Once I start, you can't question how I show my love to you. But you are allowed to tell me to stop.”
“Bring on the worst,” Lohen huffed.
Varka lightly cupped Lohen’s face in one hand. “That is the thing, Lohen. This isn’t a competition, and neither is it about hurting you.”
Or: Varka's desire to love Lohen amplifies after seeing the Vice Captain nearly die.

A Ratnik's Guide to Rest and Relaxation by viomins
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
02 Jun 2026

Summary
Illuga has two modes: working until he collapses, and feeling guilty about not working enough to collapse. He’s spent a lot of years perfecting those and running from his demons. He was gonna do that until the day he died and everything was gonna be fine. Really.
Until the gods threw a wrench into his plans.
Now, he needs a few new modes: resting (nightmarish), being taken care of (actual hell), and maybe not running from himself (absolutely unacceptable).
Flins thinks this will be good for him. Illuga thinks Flins is lucky he’s cute, because this is all his damn fault.

Summary
Flins wants to devour him. Wants to lick every inch of skin. Make Illuga bleed fresh just so he can chase the flavor as it wells up.
He uses what is perhaps his last shred of sanity to say, “I hope Young Master isn’t getting himself injured on purpose.”
Illuga laughs, breathless. “No, I promise. Just bad luck.” His hand slides from Flins' cheek down to his jaw, thumb brushing over his lower lip. “Or good luck, depending on the perspective.”

Frost Moon's Heat ~ A Knight's Invitation, and a Fae's Plea by Lady_Ydria
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
25 May 2026

Summary
Each month, on the full moon, Flins experiences a spike in desire. Perhaps it’s old Fae instincts, or a biological cycle, the Lightkeeper has long forgotten. It’s never been more than an inconvenience in the past, but that has changed. Now that The Doctor is defeated and the true Frost Moon revealed, Flins’s cycles have become overwhelming.
In his attempt to find solitude to wait out another full moon, Flins runs into Varka. The Knight instantly thinks something is wrong, and in his concern, offers shelter.
Not to be impolite, Flins agrees... Not knowing what the Frost Moon's heat will bring.

This is a series of multi-chapter short stories following Varka and Flins. Nod Krai Archon quest spoilers.Series

Summary
The warmth beneath his skin has become unbearable now, and it isn't a simple heat.
It's desire.
Across the room, Varka watches him carefully.
“Do not,” Flins says quietly, “look at me like that.”
Varka’s brow furrows faintly. “Like what?”
“Like you want to devour me whole.”When Varka and Flins become trapped within the Post-Apocalyptic Elysium bunker beneath Nod-Krai, the distance they’ve carefully maintained for years finally begins to collapse.

Summary
He let his hand go slack and blinked when Illuga still didn’t let go. “Okay,” he whispered, remembering that he could speak.
Illuga shook his hand lightly. “You’re a good person, Lohen. I’m sorry that I’m prying so much, but you seem like you need to hear it.”
I do? Maybe if you say so, I do need to hear it. Varka had said it many times, but it simply tasted sweeter when the words rolled off Illuga’s tongue. I’m sorry, I’m so sorry that you’re feeling so much for someone like me.
Or: the events preceding the Traveller's arrival in Nod Krai.
